Chapter Title: Saving Fluffy
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“Save Fluffy!”
“Fluffy?”
Shin Yu-hyun let out a hollow laugh at the girl's words. What a cute name compared to the massive Blood Wolf right in front of him.
Awoo...!
The Blood Wolf unleashed a long howl as it looked down at Shin Yu-hyun and the skeletons.
Its body stretched three meters long, standing about two meters tall at the shoulder. It was a wolf covered in red fur, with crimson horns sprouting from its head.
Grrr.
The Blood Wolf's red eyes burned with murderous intent.
That’s...
That was when Shin Yu-hyun spotted the necklace dangling around the Blood Wolf's neck.
A familiar crystal orb hung from it.
The Getia bastards’ magic beast control crystal device.
It looked like the Blood Wolf was being manipulated by the crystal device on its necklace.
Kraaa!
In an instant, the Blood Wolf lunged forward.
It charged toward the Skeleton Sabers at an insane speed.
“Defensive formation!”
At Shin Yu-hyun's shout, the ten Sabers up front shifted into a tight formation.
Five per row, they thrust their kite shields forward to form a defensive line.
The Blood Wolf reached the shield-bearing Sabers and swung its forepaw.
Kwa-gagagak!
Its claw raked across the kite shields.
Fortunately, the Sabers' formation held firm.
But the shields in the first row were shredded to bits like scraps of paper.
Kraang!
Kwaduk! Kwang!
The assault didn't stop there.
It clamped its jaws around a Saber that had lost its shield and slammed the skeleton to the ground.
“Javelins!”
Shin Yu-hyun thrust his hand forward and barked the order.
Shoo-shook! Ssaeng!
The Lancers behind the Sabers hurled their long spears.
Ten bone spears streaked toward the Blood Wolf like arrows.
Zzuzzung!
Right then, a red barrier flickered into existence before the Blood Wolf's eyes.
Thud-thud-thud!
The ten bone spears slammed into the barrier and clattered to the floor.
“A mana barrier?”
Shin Yu-hyun's face twisted in surprise.
A wolf using a mana barrier skill? Unbelievable.
“Ka-mang-i!”
Shin Yu-hyun sent a mental command to Ka-mang-i, summoning ten more Sabers and twenty Archers.
Susuk.
Skeletons began emerging from Ka-mang-i's shadow.
Blue soulfire flared in their eye sockets as gray-armored skeletons armed with weapons materialized behind Shin Yu-hyun and marched forward.
Now, aside from the ten Sabers guarding Dia and the kids, he had nineteen Sabers, twenty Lancers, and twenty Archers up front.
And over a hundred skeletons still waited in Ka-mang-i's shadow.
He'd used the chimera corpses to summon extras.
“Pressure it!”
Shin Yu-hyun ordered the Sabers.
They fanned out wide to the left and right, shields raised, closing in on the Blood Wolf.
One had been bitten and thrown, but nineteen remained—more than enough to pin it down.
Nineteen nearly two-meter-tall Sabers shoving forward with their shields made for an impressive sight.
In the meantime, the ten Lancers retrieved their thrown bone spears.
Kieeeing!
Red energy began gathering on the Blood Wolf's forepaw.
Shin Yu-hyun sensed trouble at the sight.
“Defend!”
👁️ Death Eye Scan:Blood Wolf
The Sabers ahead of the Blood Wolf slammed their kite shields into the ground and triggered their defense skill.
Just then, the Blood Wolf smashed its forepaw down.
Kwaaaaaang!
A massive red shockwave erupted, ripping up the ground ahead.
Blood Impact—the Blood Wolf's attack skill.
The Sabers weathered the blast somehow.
Thanks to Shin Yu-hyun's timely warning and their activated defense skill.
“Attack.”
Titing! Ssaeng!
At his command, the Archers loosed their arrows.
In a tight corridor, they would've been useless, but this lab was a wide-open space like an arena.
Perfect for archery.
Ten gray-bone arrows arced through the air toward the Blood Wolf.
Infused with mana, each one packed the punch of a cannon shot.
Awoo...!
Suddenly, the Blood Wolf howled long and loud.
A red mana barrier shimmered into place over its back.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The arrows rained down, only to bounce harmlessly off the barrier.
“Ranged defense skill? What a pain.”
Shin Yu-hyun clicked his tongue. First javelins, now arrows—the barrier blocked them all.
But he had a counter.
“Next.”
The first row of ten Archers had fired; now the second row stepped up and nocked arrows.
“Loose.”
Titing! Ssaeng!
Another ten arrows hurtled toward the Blood Wolf.
This time, twenty Lancers charged from the ground, thrusting with their long spears.
Thump!
The Blood Wolf kicked off the floor and retreated in a blur.
Its speed was like a gale.
Pababapak!
Arrows thudded into the spot it'd just vacated.
The Lancers' spears stabbed empty air.
“Nimble mover, too.”
Five-star quality, no doubt.
Boss-grade skills and agility.
But.
“Chiron!”
Bwoooong!
Chiron burst from Ka-mang-i's shadow and took to the air.
The open space allowed it to join the fray.
“Horn Charge!”
Kieeeing!
Chiron's massive black horn began spinning at Shin Yu-hyun's call.
It dove from overhead, plunging toward the Blood Wolf like a bolt.
Black lightning streaking down.
The Blood Wolf couldn't dodge that velocity and threw up its mana barrier.
Zzuzzung!
Three barriers materialized in a flash before it.
Kwachang! Wachangchang!
The first two shattered like glass.
Chiron slammed into the third.
That last one was thick.
It held, just for an instant, halting the spinning horn.
Jjeok!
But cracks spiderwebbed across it, and it burst apart.
Kwakwakwakwang!
Chiron's horn met the floor in a cataclysmic explosion.
Concrete and dirt blasted outward.
“Slippery bastard.”
Shin Yu-hyun tsked.
The Blood Wolf had pulled back during that split-second stall.
Gone by impact time.
Bwoong!
Chiron's wingbeats boomed.
Gusts scattered debris and dust.
The crash site emerged: a five-meter crater centered on Chiron.
Beyond it, the Blood Wolf crouched low, on guard.
Grrr!
Chiron hovered just above ground level, wings flapping.
“Push!”
Bwoong!
Chiron charged the Blood Wolf.
Horn Charge and Super Vibration Wave were on cooldown.
But at over three meters with its horn, Chiron matched the wolf in bulk.
A straight ram was threat enough.
Kuhwoooo!
Kwaaaaaang!
They collided moments later.
The Blood Wolf evaded the horn by a hair.
Locked together, they grappled for dominance.
Bwooooong!
Chiron beat its wings hard to shove the wolf back.
Gggguk!
But the Blood Wolf dug in with hind legs and pushed harder with forepaws.
It was stronger, inching Chiron backward.
Raw power favored the wolf.
Chiron can't overpower it alone, as expected.
No helping it.
Five-star boss versus four-star.
But Chiron's armored shell gave it superior defense.
Kwak! Kwagak!
It withstood the claw strikes.
Scratches marred the carapace, inevitably.
Holding the line is victory enough.
Shin Yu-hyun's lips curled up.
Chiron's horn rested atop the Blood Wolf's shoulder now.
No horn attacks possible.
But locked tight, the wolf couldn't budge either.
Chiron matched its mobility.
While Chiron pinned it, Lancers moved in.
They encircled the Blood Wolf completely.
No way out.
Shushook!
Spears thrust inward.
Thud-thud!
The wolf fought back fiercely.
Mana barrier enveloped its body, repelling the spears.
But Shin Yu-hyun had figured it out: great against ranged, vulnerable to sustained close pressure.
“Keep pressing!”
Lancers bore down harder on their spears.
Cracks spiderwebbed the red barrier.
Jjeojeok!
It shattered soon after. Continuous force broke it, as predicted.
Pufufuk!
Kuhwoooo!
Spears finally pierced flesh.
Trapped by Chiron, over ten bone spears sank in; the wolf roared in agony.
But briefly.
Tududuk!
Tensing its gut against the pain, the spears popped free.
Wounds knit shut at blinding speed.
Super Recovery and Super Regeneration?
Shin Yu-hyun's eyes widened.
This'll drag on.
The combo was broken.
Super Regeneration mended any wound instantly; Super Recovery restored life, stamina, mana.
Full throttle, start to finish. No fatigue.
Skeletons didn't tire either.
And he had no intention of a war of attrition.
Undead already locked it down.
Then...
Shin Yu-hyun dropped into a stance and gripped the Flame Demon Sword Levatein at his waist.
Let's go.
Flash!
His figure vanished.
