Lord Of Succubi:Transmigrated As A Dual Cultivator In Isekai Of Magic
83 Chapter 83 Battles VI
Deep in wolf territory, cut off from any kind of outside help, isolated from everything but death itself, a thick fog of hopelessness descended upon the two humans.
Their fears only worsened when their eyes both landed on a single familiar face at the bottom of the rocky enclave before them. At the spear head of the assault, the menacing outline of a single massive wolf emerged from the shadows- coming into the orbit of the light from the small flame.
Nexus howled, and Monica let out a terrible gasp of unbelief.
"Fuck. . " they both cursed again; "Is that. . ."
It was the fuckin' alpha wolf from before.
It stood a maddening two feet taller than all the other big black wolves- right at the head of the attack. Its eyes beamed with a cruel streak, amplifying its bloodlust. Deep in its gaze was beast-like determination to shred every single bit of their flesh, and drink their blood where they stood.
Instantly, a fresh line of sweat began to form on their forheads. It drenched their armpits, trickled down the small of their backs, completely covering them both in the moist, uncomfortable cloak of perspiration.
Nexus' blood ran cold.
Monica's already weak knees, grew even weaker;
'It came back?' she mouthed doubtfully; 'With reinforcements?! What the hell kind of wind wolf does that?'
Nexus' mind was riding on rocket fuel. He didn't have the time or energy to answer her. His eyes moved furiously, desperately searching for a way out.
Just as Nexus' mind began to draw up a plan, in that moment, the cloud overhead melted, and the crescent moon poked its head out of its brief slumber- temporarily, just temporarily illuminating the darkness for a little bit.
Shock, surprise and abject terror rolled into one, as a disturbing figure emerged from the northern flank of the attack ambush.
"WHAT THE–"
The angle of elevation of Nexus' head and eyes, gently rose up to meet the towering figure that had also emerged from the blackness.
This wolf was tall.
Taller than the alpha wolf.
Nexus' face went white immediately at the sight of the monstrosity. Monica's voice came out- trapped between something of a screech and a howl;
This wind wolf majestically braved through grass, dwarfing the other wind wolves behind it, thick, beefy flesh bulging under its black fur, and covering walkable distances in one single stride.
It was four times the size and height of every other wolf in the background. Its fur was a shade darker than all the others. The demon wolf was larger than the alpha wolf. Just the height of its legs alone was almost the height of a full grown human.
The thickness of its powerful legs was astounding in magnitude. Its massive head was the size of four human heads rolled into one. Its powerful jaws remained taut, hiding a set of iron sharp teeth. As it moved, its piercing eyes remained static- aflame with cunning and intelligence.
There was nothing hurried about its movements. Its inclined head swayed smoothly, as its bulky body swayed from side to side in a smooth, confident bounce. Knowing fully well it was at the top of the foodchain, it moved with the glory, power and finesse of an apex predator
Every step was graceful, as if it was aware of just how dangerous it was.
Monica and Nexus continued to stare on at the nightmare that had suddenly appeared- wondering what they had done wrong to be in this situation.
The closer it came, the more apparent its monstrous size was. It was almost as tall as a tree trunk. Nexus' jaw unclenched, and dropped to a low hanging, half open state. Gawking, and eyes bulging, Nexus compared it to the alpha wolf.
The she wolf might have been a beast, but looking at this creature to their far right, Nexus knew it was absolutely nothing short of a demon.
It was hard, but Nexus and Monica finally forced their gaze away from the dreadfully large wolf, turning their attention to the small army of sharp toothed, big muscled, ultra-angry beasts- as well as the alpha wolf leading the left flank.
'Ni Yang. . .'
Her voice came, softly and quietly, but she couldn't complete her sentence.
Nexus understood.
Things had become a lot more complicated.
They could run. But their melted brains was barely processing anything else outside of the shock that came with being surrounded by vicious creatures. Terror, awe and defeat came in overpowering waves- crippling and, paralyzing them both.
Taken unawares, they could not move.
They could not even blink.
All they could do was gasp, and tremble- at the big black wolves inching towards them unhurriedly, like demons cloaked in black fur, and iron teeth, rising out from hell, edging towards them, cutting out their escape route- with their leader before them.
Shit.
"They've come for me Ni Yang. . ." she managed to say; "They've come for revenge. . ."
Yeah, Nexus thought; No shit.
"That leading wolf must at least be a B-rank creature. . ." she whispered beside him; "And by the looks of it. . ."
Her neck turned in semi circles, and her whole body swung a full three hundred and sixty degrees as her eyes scanned the horizon- squinting, and muttering inaudible words to herself;
"There's at least a hundred fuckin' wolves out there." she gulped.
Nexus whistled; "A hundred wolves?" he gasped in unbelief.
"At least. . ." She corrected him; "There could be more. And we don't even know if there are any more of those big-ass wolves in the ranks! Fuck, just look at that thing!"
She was right.
"How long till they're upon us?" Nexus asked.
"They're about thirty yards out, and they're not in a hurry. They also know we've spotted them, but it's obvious they just don't care. So, I'd say we've got about five minutes tops–"
She added for good measure;
"–that's if they don't decide to break out into a killing frenzy an swarm us at once in one swift rush."
Nexus said nothing. His brain went into overdrive, harnessing the full power of his deductive reasoning.
With his arms clinging to his sides, his palms crushed into fists, and shoulders tensed, Nexus' studious eyes roved over the ambush before him. There was nothing regular about this ambush. It was too calculated- too precise, too perfect.
He knew wind wolves had nightvision. So the darkness, terrain, and numbers gave them a serious advantage.
The vein on the right side of his temple throbbed wildly. If they came too close, things could get messy. He had to try and break even now that they were still yards out!
Behind him, Monica's voice came- laden with emotion and despair;
"I'm sorry Ni Yang. . ." she moped; ". . .but I think this is the end. . ."
She spread out her hands dramatically;
"I just don't see how we can break through this host. And even if we did, there's no way we can outrun the entire pack. . ."
She gulped again- forcing down the lump in her throat;
"This is only your first quest, and I let my arrogance lead you to your death- our deaths. You're one unlucky son of a bitch you know that right?"
