A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 72: The Wolves - 5

The temperature in this area is cooling rapidly. Some dried ice flowers are even formed, the result of sublimating air. The ice wall was now beginning to form, falling down from top to bottom as if a curtain was being lowered.

Together with the bustling vibration, the ground sank as it held the weight of the falling ice wall. The poor creatures who had not dodged were trapped inside, it was uncertain whether they were alive or freezing to death.

However, a new layer of ice soon formed from below, making the ice wall that initially seemed to force present into a unified unity. Complete already this ice prison for those trapped.

Crack

A cracking sound rang out, the result of the destruction of some objects that were unable to withstand the pressure of the cold being released.

Looking at it even more, the battleground was now split in two. Where on one side was where Lily and the Ghost Wolf herd were, while on the other was where the duel between Rion and Phantom Wolf was located.

The ice wall soared high with a bone-chilling chill around it, as if implying it would not allow anyone to cross the line of confinement created.

Realizing the intent of this ice wall's appearance, Rion began to attack the Phantom Wolf in front of him more ferociously. It was clear that he did not need to think about what was under him anymore as before, making each step taken seem more courageous.

The sword in Rion's hand began to swing beautifully, up and down, left and right trying to meet its target. With the movements of the [Edge Art] as the basis, his attacks were increasingly difficult to deal with.

However, the title of 'Alpha' that Phantom Wolf possessed was not just a show. Not only was his strength much higher than that of the Ghost Wolf, but also in terms of reason and brains.

Evasive by relying on his speed and mobility ability in the air that far outperformed the opponent. The Phantom Wolf continued to move quickly, dodging Rion's attack by giving one or two backlash.

Seeing that a lightning bolt was heading towards him, Rion unleashed magic. "Magic: Shield!"

However, with the position that was in a loss, Rion could not expect much and still bounced back. Adjusting his posture in midair, he landed without much injuries and looked back at the Phantom Wolf.

"Blessing Wind," Rion immediately disappeared from his current position. The moment he reappeared, he had been right beside the Phantom Wolf.

Tang!

A clanging sound rang out as Rion's sword managed to be held back with its front legs. Sparks began to be created as the attack continued, increasing rapidly but both were still in a balanced position.

Rion retreated, taking a breath for a moment. However, the Phantom Wolf could not possibly let it run smoothly.

"Awuu!" A thunderous high howl rang out, and the sound wave attacks that viciously attacked Rion began to arrive.

Rion continued to dodge, while forming several magic shields to withstand the attacks that he could not avoid. The slightest carelessness was now not accepted, and he did not want to know what the impact of carelessness was.

Black wind blades rained down on Rion, there was no denying that this frequency of attacks was terrifying. However, Rion did not just stand foolishly to accept the attack.

He moved amazingly, both the speed and maneuvering that Rion showed now completely challenged the limits of the flexibility of a body.

"I should get closer to him," After muttering this, Rion continued to shorten the distance between him and the Phantom Wolf quickly before attacking. "The Word of Thorns!"

Puncture after prick is done, trying to penetrate thick skin but will not be possible all goes that easily.

"Graaahhhh!" Lightning currents began to form in the Phantom Wolf's feathers, making it now glow with lightning bolts clad in it.

Rion clucked in annoyance, this move obviously forced him to step back and made Phantom Wolf start to take over the wheel again. With the sound wave attacks being launched, the ground continued to shake, black lightning occasionally falling but not that often.

All because Rion continued to stick like a fly to the Phantom Wolf, making the monster's attack unable to be violent.

When a crack caught him, Rion turned around. "Magic: Flame Raise!"

An incandescent red light shot out, towards the figure of the Phantom Wolf that was flying. The attack continued on until it forced the monster into silence, unable to escape from Rion after falling in this step.

But this is definitely not the end.

Moving swiftly, the Phantom Wolf managed to dodge the attack. However, that did not apply to his large wings. With a strike his right wing began to twitch, paralyzed and unable to move as he wished, making the alpha fall from Space.

Rion smiled, although this was at least t different from his expectations, but the end result was not much different from what he had hoped before.

Rion wanted to continue immediately, but he could not do much after the Phantom Wolf got up and moved quickly.

"K-ka .. mu ...," a weak voice sounded from Phantom Wolf. A voice that is so weak that it is immediately covered by the roar of the fight, does not reach the ears of the interlocutor.

Rion advanced, the sword in his hand kept swinging wildly, he realized that he could not continue using magic. After all, the mana was not unlimited despite having improved recovery.

Prangs!

The sword in Rion's hand was shattered, after hundreds, perhaps even thousands of times colliding with the Phantom Wolf's sharp claws.

'I've been really unlucky lately,' Rion thought lamenting the sword in his hand. Away from the Phantom Wolf, he picked up the spear (?) which he had long ignored due to his size.

With the weapon changed, Rion's previous plan was canceled and looking for a new plan.

"Magic: Pool," Puddles began to be created, the area of the puddle continues to expand to cover a large area.

Rion advanced, although the terrain had changed slightly but the two were still balanced. At least until Rion's next move.

"The Upper Cut!" Leaving behind his spear, Rion's hand hit the Phantom Wolf until the monster lifted.

Not letting the Phantom Wolf recover its position, Rion clung onto the monster's body.

"Magic: Pillars!"

The field below them back Rion changed, the stone pillars began to be created, towering. As if his instincts were to ring a danger signal, the Phantom Wolf again channeled lightning throughout his body hoping that Rion would retreat, but that was not the case as Rion tried to stay in his position.

"Cre ... na .. pa ...?"

Phantom Wolf questioned Rion, as if he realized there was something unusual. Right, it was because he did not feel the killing intent from Rion at all.

It was as if Rion did not really want to kill him, whereas normally one would unleash killing intent on his opponent. Especially in the life and death determination as it was now, at least that was what the Phantom Wolf had always felt from the people who had fought him. Although he is still young, but he knows very well that his instincts are not wrong.

Booms!

A loud explosion occurred above where the Phantom Wolf was, impacting not only him but also Rion who was attached to his back. Get them down.

"Magic: Friction!" A blaze enveloped Rion's spearhead, as the spear came into contact with the Phantom Wolf's body, a hot explosion took place.

Phantom Wolf looked surprised to see the flames that suddenly enveloped him. Utilizing this situation, Rion raised his body up and continued the attack. "Meteorite Javelin!"

The spear was thrown at close range, the Phantom Wolf's body crashed down. The mini new pillars seemed to be a shackle that was holding his body.

Blood started to come out, maybe this wound not in Rion continued to emphasize his strength. Trying to hold off the Phantom Wolf even longer. After all, if he were to step aside then these stone pillars could not possibly withstand the might of the Phantom Wolf.

"Magic: Electro," The blue lightning spread to the body of the Phantom Wolf. With the spear at its center and the puddle of water joining the media, the flash immediately spread rapidly enveloping the Phantom Wolf's body.

However, with defense power far above normal. It was only the paralysis that Phantom Wolf had experienced, making him close his eyes, knowing that this was the end.

Soon, the ice wall faded away, crumbling into ice flakes. The silhouette of a girl exposing herself amidst the cold mist that was starting to blow, she walked gracefully towards Rion and the Phantom Wolf.
