The Birth of the Demon Sword

Massacres

Chapter 18 - 18. Massacres

"And what happens if they become strong enough to break through the ranks?"

ask Noah.

They were now running for 30 minutes and a trail of sweat appeared on Noah's face, yet his Master looked fine and continued to explain.

"They evolved, or simply put, they hibernated for a period of time and when they woke up, they would have a boost in all their natural abilities. Say, for example, a four-eyed wolf of rank 1 to evolve. Its rank would be the 2 causes of its body but it would also have a rank 1 mental attack that would make it extremely dangerous than its rank 1 version."

Noah finally had a better understanding of the evolution process of magical beasts and could not help but be a little envious.

They only needed to eat and sleep to become stronger while humans had to train endlessly just to take small steps towards higher realms.

This time, William noticed the expression of his disciple and smiled faintly.

"I know what you're thinking but don't worry, you'll see the human advantage when you fight the beast."

Noah was surprised but did not fully understand his Master's words.

He began to focus his mind on the imminent battle trying to anticipate the worst possible outcome.

They moved for another 20 minutes until they reached a small hill, where William stopped and took a sack of water from his suit.

He handed the sack to Noah and said with a serious face.

"At the top of this hill, there's a wolf's nest. They are 15 so you have to be careful not to be surrounded. You'll go alone while I'll watch closely enough to intervene if something bad happens. Remember all of our exercises and don't be stingy using "Breath" until you have a complete understanding of your strengths. Breathe in a little and then leave, don't worry, you won't be in danger.

Noah became more serious about hearing these words.

He took a slight sip from the sack and sat cross-legged on the floor to calm his breath.

He looked into the ocean of his consciousness, where a faint form of multiple lines formed in the center of the sphere and checked that he was in peak condition.

'Don't hesitate, don't make mistakes. Beware of your surroundings. 15 wolves to go.'

He exhaled strongly and then stood up, his mind was ready and his body did not feel tired, there was no reason to waste any more time.

He unsheathed his sword and began to climb the hill by paying extra attention to whatever his senses were feeling.

When he reached the top, he could see a wolf nest at the base of the other side of the hill.

The wolf was 3 meters long and 2 meters high, had 4 large and sharp eyes and yellow fur.

10 Of them were lying on the ground, seemingly asleep, while the other 5 were at the guard on the side of the sleeping group. The slightly larger wolf was in the middle of the herd, he was probably the alpha wolf.

'If I charge, I will be completely open, there is no way I can surprise them but there seems to be no other option. Maybe if I ran at full speed down the hill and used "Breath" I could land a few punches on one of them. But is that enough to kill him? What about the other 14? Damn sir, why can't you explain everything properly '

He thought a little more but he was really unable to find any other way to profit from them.

'Well, if I mess up, Master will come and save me, so I'd better go all out.'

Strengthening his mind, Noah concentrated and then jumped down towards the nest.

He increased his speed with a "Breath" at his feet and crossed the sword in front of him.

He's fast! The 1st rank body used "Breath" and down the hill reached explosive speed.

However, Noah did not seem to notice as his mind was completely focused on taking out the wolves before they could surround them.

Within moments, he was at the bottom of the hill with one of the wolves staring at him.

But before that could, Noah jumped horizontally and slashed with full force toward the head of the wolf.

The sword, empowered with "Breaths", cut the wolf horizontally from its head to half its body like butter.

The wolf died on the spot!

Even Noah was stunned for a moment by the ability of punching holes in the twin sword styles but was immediately forced out of his shock seeing that the other 4 awakened wolves were ready to give a warning signal.

"AUUUUUUUH"

Hearing that howl, Noah hurriedly pulled out a sword from the wolf corpse and jumped onto the one that was howling.

He was right in front of her before it even finished howling and without wasting any time he slashed his head.

Although he used less "Breath" than the first time he still felt almost no resistance from the wolf skull, as his sword pierced through his brain.

The light in the wolf's eyes disappeared since he died and this gave Noah the signal to jump to another target.

Suddenly, a shockwave hits his sea of consciousness, the remaining 3 wolves attacking together to stop the other members of the herd from waking up.

The attack was like a shrill voice in Noah's mind, yet his ball did not even tremble being hit by it.

'Very weak!'

Noah thought as he jumped through the herd, slashing at the two wolves that were almost standing at their feet.

Two half-circles of blood were created in the air as both swords slashed the heads of the two wolves vertically.

This time Noah felt some resistance because he used less "Breath" than the last time.

'I can use even less and still be able to cut their skulls with my body strength. 11 to go!'

Blood continued to flow as Noah moved slashing the heads of wolves in the herd until a shrill sound that was much stronger than the one before made his mental environment tremble lightly.

The alpha wolf looked at him with venomous eyes as it used a mental attack along with the remaining 7 wolves.

Noah felt a hint of pain coming from his head, but it was so gently faced with what he had gone through that he did not even stop for a second in his slaughter.

He would use less and less "Breath" to deal with the wolves as he estimated the strength of his body and he moved too fast for them to encircle him.

If a wolf jumped towards him, he would cut him in half with a double vertical slash, if the wolf came from his side, he would twist himself to deliver a devastating blow.

The attack continued until only the alpha wolf was left, it had a huge wound on its neck as it managed to dodge the obvious blow on its head.

'This one is slightly stronger than the others, after all, it was the only one who dodged one of my attacks despite barely being able to. Well, I had to consider that I was getting tired, so my speed was reduced. Next time, I should aim for the stronger one first.'

The wolf was still looking at him furiously but now there was fear in his eyes.

Noah slowly approached while the wolf retreated, but the wound on his neck was too serious to heal on its own.

The wolf tried a desperate attack, jumping with its jaws open towards Noah.

He saw the wolf's fangs getting closer and then dodged for the last time to the right, giving an upward slash to his neck.

The body of the alpha wolf fell to the ground and its severed head rolled further.

After killing all 15 wolves, he finally had confidence in his abilities!

Seriate...
