Chapter 9: Demonic Flame Wolf
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Time passed in a flash.
Unbeknownst to him, the sky was already getting dark.
Hughes wiped off the slightly warm blood on his face. His temperament had undergone a huge change compared to before.
His gaze became more fierce, and his aura became more stable.
His every movement carried a hint of killing intent.
A day had passed, and Hughes had killed nineteen mid-tier demon beasts in a row.
His battle experience had increased by quite a bit.
His realm had also reached the level of an intermediate mage.
The further he advanced, the slower his progress would be.
But even so, reaching the level of an intermediate mage in a day was already scary enough.
“I still need one more. I still need a bit more experience to become an advanced mage.”
Hughes looked at the highland centaur that had just been killed and shook his head slightly.
He was already an intermediate high-level mage, but the spell that had dropped earlier still could not be used.
Just a little bit more…
But this tiny bit was like a layer of window paper.
It felt impossible for Hughes to reach the next level.
If others knew that Hughes had only used a day to advance from a low-level intermediate mage to a high-level intermediate mage, who knew how many people would die of jealousy.
After all, to be able to go from a low-level intermediate mage to an intermediate high-level mage in just one month was already very impressive.
And yet, Hughes was still living in bliss and did not know how to appreciate his blessings.
Other than that, there was another thing that made Hughes feel pity.
That was, he had rushed out without preparation. He did not even bring a backpack, and he had already come out into the wild.
After all, the demon beasts that he had killed today were all full of treasures!
Bones, flesh, fur, these were all good things.
In the city of Kyrenia, these things were very popular and worth a lot of money.
But because he didn’t bring his backpack, he didn’t get anything.
The loss of a large sum of wealth made Hughes depressed.
Fortunately, his magic had healing effects, so he didn’t need to buy some recovery potions.
Otherwise, he would lose a lot of money this time.
After all, other people would buy recovery potions and all kinds of life-saving potions in advance when they came out. Then, after the demon beasts were exhausted, they would collect bones, flesh, and fur to sell.
“Howl!”
The Cry of a demonic flame wolf rang out. Immediately, Hughes was overjoyed. Then, he ran to the source of the sound and carefully approached his prey.
Soon, Hughes arrived at his destination.
He found a bush in a small area and looked in the direction of the demonic flame wolf.
He saw that the group of people who were confronting the demonic flame wolf had suffered heavy casualties.
The scene in front of him was filled with broken bones and blood splattered across the floor.
“Cecil, didn’t you say that you were a team that specialized in bringing new people?
“Why are so many people dying now?”
A skinny man asked loudly.
“Trash, shut your mouth. If you didn’t insist on coming here, would we have suffered such heavy casualties?”
Cecil replied sternly.
“Alright, stop arguing. The most important thing now is how to escape from this tier 3 demonic flame wolf.”
“Little b*tch, what does it have to do with you? F*ck you, do you think we don’t know?” The skinny man cursed.
The woman who had just been scolded fell silent, but a fierce light flashed in her eyes.
Soon, the demonic flame wolf had prepared itself. It grabbed the opportunity of them fighting and charged towards the woman who had been silent just now.
However, the woman did not panic. She was extremely focused.
Just as the demonic flame wolf was about to bite her, she turned her body slightly and the demonic flame wolf charged towards the skinny man.
“Ah!”
A heart-wrenching scream sounded.
The skinny man’s thigh was instantly bitten off.
“F*ck you b*tch, you will die a horrible death, you…”
The skinny man wanted to say something, but he could never say it again because the demonic flame wolf had already bitten off his throat.
Seeing the skinny man’s death, the rest of the people felt a chill in their hearts and silently moved further away from the woman.
Seeing that everyone had moved further away from her, she said, “In this situation, don’t tell me you still think that we can kill this demonic flame wolf!
“That’s why survival is the most important right now.”
After saying that, she took advantage of the fact that the demonic flame wolf didn’t pay attention to her for the time being and quickly escaped from this place.
When everyone saw that she had escaped, they also wanted to leave.
But the demonic flame wolf turned around.
And the words that the woman said before she left also took root in everyone’s hearts.
Everyone silently left the people around them, no longer united.
Looking at the people who were no longer united, Cecil knew that they might not be able to return alive this time.
In a short while, these wandering soldiers were broken by the demonic flame wolf one by one, and then their necks were bitten off.
In the entire low-level mage team, apart from that woman, no one was left alive.
At this time, Hughes, who had just hidden in the bushes, pulled aside the leaves and walked out.
Hughes looked at the corpses on the ground with a cold expression.
Hughes had wanted to go out and save them, but these people had already fallen apart.
If Hughes went out at that time, not only would he not be able to kill the demonic flame wolf, but he would also be held back by these people.
There was another reason.
He had just determined that the demonic flame wolf should have advanced to the realm of a high-level monster.
With his current mid-level and high-level combat strength, he might have to fight hard for a while. He might even have to use the power of dark magic.
But now, no one could hold him back, and no one could discover the secret of his dark magic.
So today, this demonic flame wolf was going to be the last step for Hughes to obtain Lorelei’s secret tome.
After killing so many monsters today, there was not a single book about the dark magic that dropped. Now, Hughes could only use the most basic ability of dark magic.
That was to increase the attack power of other magic attributes.
As the power of dark magic was released, Hughes raised two fingers and raised his arm.
Then, more than ten golden spears covered in black appeared behind him.
As the spears behind him slowly took shape, Hughes’s two fingers slightly pointed forward.
All the golden spears covered in black were like arrows leaving the bow, rushing towards the demonic flame wolf.
“Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!”
The golden spears that were stained with black whistled past Hughes’ ears.
The demonic flame wolf looked at the golden spears that were stained with black light and did not know what to do.
Because those spears were like tens of thousands of arrows, he did not even have a place to hide.
Very quickly, the demonic flame wolf that was standing at the same spot was stabbed by the golden spears and resembled a hedgehog by the end of the ordeal.
