Now that you've become the alpha wolf, you dare to lead them in an invasion of Blackrock Territory.
Is it because you realized that the enemy who brought about the annihilation of your clan is dead?
Upon hearing Arthur's question, the one-eyed wolf's single, narrow eye revealed a hatred that was almost tangible.
Having vibrant emotions is a manifestation of its wisdom.
The one-eyed wolf let out a low growl, as if in affirmation.
"Hahaha!
Thirty years ago, you were a stray dog. You don't really think that thirty years later, after your former enemy is dead...
So you think you can come back and continue to ravage the people of my Blackrock Territory?
Arthur rode on the back of Nightshade, his black-haired horse, and let out a wanton laugh, his tone contemptuous.
Arthur's provocation had an effect; the one-eyed wolf no longer maintained its composure, and it began to bar its teeth in anger.
Seeing this, Arthur stopped laughing and resumed his solemn expression.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his sword, the tip pointing at the one-eyed wolf, and spoke again in a judgmental tone:
"Today, I, Arthur Field, in the name of my father, Richard Field, hereby declare that I will surely slay you in the Western Wasteland!"
"Ow!"
Arthur's arrogant declaration thoroughly enraged the one-eyed wolf, which let out a furious howl filled with boundless hatred.
The one-eyed wolf could sense that the handsome blond youth before it carried the blood of the human who had once brought annihilation to its clan.
It feared that human, and at the same time hated that human.
But it was clear to it that he was already dead.
Since that catastrophe, the one-eyed wolf has developed a strange and persistent fear of the existence of the old lord Richard for the past thirty years.
But until recently, this inexplicable and persistent fear abruptly disappeared.
This made the one-eyed wolf realize that the old lord Richard was dead.
Having lived in the North for many years, the one-eyed wolf also sensed that the long winter night was approaching.
With these two factors combined, the one-eyed wolf's bloodlust and endless hatred for humans could no longer be suppressed.
And so, at the moment when the first long night arrived in the North.
The one-eyed wolf, leading a pack of wind wolves that had not yet recovered to its former glory, launched a bloody invasion of Blackrock territory.
However, in reality, it was blocked by a well-trained human army on the border of the Western Wasteland.
more importantly.
It actually sensed the presence of the human that it feared day and night in one of the blond youths among this group of humans.
Chapter 14 The Chase in the Gale
When they first met Arthur.
The one-eyed wolf, hiding in the shadows, was still somewhat cautious, only sending out less than a third of its pack of wind wolves as the vanguard to test the situation.
The human soldiers fighting around the campfire on the border used some kind of tactical formation to defeat his vanguard, achieving victory against overwhelming odds.
Therefore, the one-eyed wolf dispatched a second batch of wind wolves, attacking with double the number, and issued a suicide tactic to break the human's tactical formation.
But it was at this moment that...
The blond youth it had been watching so closely finally made his move.
The one-eyed wolf witnessed him unleash an unknown, extraordinary power that healed the human soldiers from their wounds, boosted their morale, and allowed them to gradually escape the disadvantageous situation in the battle.
Until then.
It was finally able to determine, through its perception of human life force, that the blond youth was an apprentice knight who was not even at the Black Iron rank.
It turns out that this blond youth was merely the offspring of that human.
The vitality it exuded was far too weak compared to the human that had once terrified him.
Therefore, it dared to launch the final all-out offensive.
Back to the present.
Seeing that he had successfully provoked the one-eyed wolf, Arthur made his next move.
He increased the pull on the reins, urging his black-maned horse, Nightshade, to accelerate and begin charging towards an elite Wind Wolf to his side.
Soon, he arrived in front of the elite wind wolf.
Arthur immediately raised his sword and swung it down. At the same time, he activated the "Flame Lion Breathing Technique" and revealed his trump card, using the combat skill "Blood Boil".
At this moment.
Arthur temporarily broke through to the Iron Rank, and the vigorous life force within his body finally transformed into a powerful wave of energy that surged out of his body without delay.
A red flame wave instantly wrapped around his blade.
Arthur's sudden surge of power caused even the one-eyed wolf, who was preparing to attack from a distance, to tremble, let alone the elite wind wolf in front of him.
Caught off guard, the elite wind wolf felt a strong sense of oppression from the human in front of it.
Under this oppressive aura, the elite wind wolf momentarily froze.
Arthur seized the moment when it froze, and decisively swung his sword down to slash at its head.
finally.
The blade, enveloped in flame waveguide, easily severed the giant wolf's head as if cutting melons and vegetables.
Blood splattered from the severed head, splashing again onto Arthur's face and armor.
Thus, in his temporarily Iron-tier state, fueled by a surge of adrenaline, Arthur opened a breach in the wind wolf pack.
But Arthur did not stop there.
He continued to steer the black-haired horse Night Shadow, and surprisingly broke through the encirclement of the wind wolf pack.
The enraged one-eyed wolf quickly regained his senses, his gaze and perception locking onto Arthur.
Arthur's sudden breakthrough in realm, achieved through some means, greatly surprised the one-eyed wolf.
But after sensing that the blond youth had ultimately failed to break through to the Silver rank, the third-rank magical beast no longer felt threatened.
And so, at this moment.
The one-eyed wolf transformed all his hatred for his former invincible enemy into murderous intent toward his weak offspring.
"Ow!"
It first let out a howl, commanding the elite wind wolves present to surround and attack the remaining knights, preventing them from supporting Arthur.
Driven by a bloodthirsty desire to tear Arthur apart, it decided to hunt Arthur alone, who was far from the battlefield.
As Arthur rode his black-haired horse, Nightshade, he turned his head and saw the scene. He knew his plan had succeeded.
Next.
The one-eyed wolf and Arthur engaged in a high-speed chase in the western wilderness.
Although Arthur's black-maned horse, Nightshade, may not be as strong in combat as a third-tier one-eyed wolf, speed and endurance are the horse's strengths.
As Arthur's mount, Nightshade, with its black twigs, was someone he placed great importance on developing from the moment he named it.
Arthur learned the kingdom's horsemanship from his butler Leon to train it.
finally.
Under Arthur's meticulous care over the past decade, this frail foal, which was so weak at birth that it could barely stand, has now grown into the top warhorse of the Field family's Black Mane herd and has advanced to the late stage of a first-tier magical beast.
Simultaneously.
Arthur discovered Nightshade's talent as a wind-type magical beast, enabling it to unleash the second-tier wind magic "Gale Run" even in its first-tier magical beast form.
"Swift Wind Run" is similar to "Swift Wind Body," a second-tier wind magic mastered by the elite wind wolves.
However, it sacrifices the power boost, thereby increasing the travel speed threefold.
Back to the present.
"Beep!"
When Arthur sensed the approaching aura of the one-eyed wolf, a third-tier magical beast, he immediately let out a clear whistle.
next moment.
The black-haired horse Night Shadow, upon hearing the command conveyed by Arthur's whistle, immediately unleashed the second-tier wind magic "Swift Wind Run" to enhance its body.
The wind element around Nightshade, carrying Arthur, rapidly gathered, forming an airflow that covered its entire body and gave it a faster speed.
The one-eyed wolf chasing behind saw that the distance between itself and the black-haired horse night shadow was no longer decreasing, but instead began to increase.
It couldn't help but feel furious.
"Ow!"
Driven by anger.
The giant, snow-white wolf first let out a deafening howl, then unleashed an accelerated second-tier wind magic spell called "Gale Force".
Although both are second-tier wind magic, the three times the travel speed provided by "Swift Wind Run" perfectly compensates for the speed difference between the Dark-haired Night Shadow and the third-tier One-Eyed Wolf.
at this time.
Mo Binma Yeying maintained a distance of about 50 meters from the one-eyed wolf behind him, right at the edge of the one-eyed wolf's wind blade magic attack range.
With the speed remaining the same, the next test of endurance in this high-speed chase will be a contest of endurance.
Sitting on horseback, Arthur pressed his upper body close to the shadows of the night, lowering his center of gravity to stabilize his balance.
Then, he encouraged Nightshade:
"Nightshade, we absolutely cannot lose to it!"
"hold head high!"
The black-haired horse, Night Shadow, let out a spirited neigh, responding to its master's expectation.
The relentless pursuit of the one-eyed wolf ignited Nightshade's indomitable spirit.
With his black hair and dark shadow, Ma Yeying unleashed his potential and began to distance himself from the one-eyed man.
As a third-tier wind-type magical beast, speed is also a source of pride for the one-eyed wolf that cannot be trampled upon.
After being outpaced in speed by a mere late-stage Tier 1 monster.
The one-eyed wolf's anger intensified, like adding fuel to the fire.
then.
It opened its gaping maw and gathered the wind elements in the air, condensing them into a giant wind blade over a meter long.
It launched the massive wind blade at the waist of the black-maned horse.
If it hits, it will instantly cut this low-level magical beast, which it felt ashamed of, into pieces at the waist.
"Danger!"
With the enhancement of the combat skill "Bloodline Boiling," Arthur, temporarily at the Black Iron rank, possesses stronger perception than before.
He sensed the one-eyed wolf's charging wind blade attack in advance, so he quickly pulled on the reins and shouted to his black-maned horse, Nightshade:
"Get out of the way quickly!"
The black-haired horse, Nightshade, trusted Arthur completely and immediately followed his instructions.
"Xu~"
The warhorse first let out a low pant, and then gathered all the wind element it controlled onto its two front hooves.
Immediately, it slammed its two front hooves into the ground and kicked.
next moment.
With Arthur on his back, the black-haired horse, Night Shadow, was able to leap lightly three meters into the air, aided by the gathering wind elements, thus dodging the one-eyed wolf's wind blade attack.
After landing.
