If I Survive the SSS-Rank Demon Realm with a ‘Useless’ Skill, I’ll Become the World’s Strongest Alchemist: Building a Comfortable Base and Enjoying a Fun Life in Another World with My Companions~

Chapter 36

I twist my body, using the rotation to sever the next wolf’s head. Without even watching the head fly off, trailing a thread of blood, I stab through the throat of a wolf coming from the left—at that moment.

“Guh…!”

I couldn’t dodge the claw strike that came from my blind spot. A deep gash is carved into my shoulder. I tried to counter with my sword, but that individual had already vanished, and I sensed something behind me.

“These bastards!”

I tried to swing my sword as I turned, but a sharp pain shot through my back.

“They’re coordinating!”

The mithril sword that had slain the first four wolves was no longer able to catch the enemy. The claws of the wolves attacking from all directions were gradually, bit by bit, whittling away my HP.

The number of enemies is the biggest problem.

At this point, there’s no escaping their encirclement.

“This is… guh… a bit bad…”

Howls echoed from all around, making me feel dizzy. But then I noticed something. Among the pack of wolves, there was one howling with a particularly high-pitched voice. Probably just one. Which means—

“There’s a leader!”

I used the dense trees as shields, darting wildly through the forest. Then, I cast [Appraisal] on every wolf that came into view. Wolf, wolf, wolf…

“Found it!!”
