Chapter 170: To Give Up Or Not To?
Waiting quietly, for the small holographic progress bar to reach its completion Lucian began humming joyfully to himself.
But as the bar approached its end in two seconds, Lucian's expression darkened desperately and fear enveloped his eyes.
From the corner of his eyes, a swipe was swiftly heading in his direction. The claw had been so fast that by the time Lucian noticed the disturbance in air flow, the claw attack had already reached his back.
"Shit!"
Clang!
It was like an explosion sounded off in his and immediately, Lucian felt his vision spinning and his head ringing as a terrifying force hit him from the back, sending him flying towards the wall in the distance.
[physique +5]
The backpack in his back shattered into multiple pieces and the contents within scattered around the area.
"Boom!"
His body was sent forwards, deeply imprinted deeply into the wall demarcating wall, but eventually slid down due to gravity.
Lucian could not feel nor could he hear anything. It felt like his bones had been broken. He coughed out two mouthfuls of blood to relieve the blockages in his lungs.
It was unknown since when but it seems the Dark wolf had been quietly laying at a blind spot in the darkness where Lucian couldn't see, waiting for Lucian to completely let down his guard before abruptly launching an attack at him.
Dark wolves were especially gifted with the ability to see in the dark, while their perception would be severely reduced once they emerged into the light.
The dark wolf had definitely successfully caught him off guard.
Walking slowly but elegantly, the wolf approached Lucian who was still lying on the floor while groaning and Lucian could finally catch a glimpse at it.
The dark wolf was definitely big but not as big as the dark wolf King. Lucian wanted to slap himself at his stupidness. If there was an Alpha wolf, there definitely had to be a Beta Wolf.
It's expression was evil and sinister as it approached the still softly groaning Lucian. Its mouth drooled with its disgustingly thick saliva, the greed was immense.
From the heartbeat it could hear, although the human was a little weak, if it could just eat this human up, why would there be a need to listen to the alpha when it would evolve to an even stronger beast than the alpha after eating the human.
The cunning wolf didn't even bother sending any waves to the alpha that it had caught the target.
After a few seconds, the groaning sound coming from Lucian's mouth had quietened down and he lay down with his back to the ground, his face to the air and his eyes shut while his breathing was non existent. It was as though he had died.
The wolf sniffed slightly, seemingly wanting to feel his breath. It was still cautious though as it circled around Lucian but its greed overcame it as it pounced at Lucian, intending to devour his heart first before devouring every other place.
'Now!' Lucian eyes lit up and in the blink of an eye, an epic grade equipment activated.
[Shard Of The Sun]
A yellow shard that looked more like a broken piece of glass shone blindingly bright that it almost seem as though a sun sun was in that floor its self. If it were not for his tough and fleshy eye lids, he might have even blinded himself.
Even the wolves outside couldn't deal with the bright rays of light that had managed to escape from that floor.
The Beta Wolf yowled in pain and misery and immediately, it's eyes exploded into pools of blood.
Crying out in anguish, it jumped up and down as though that would relieve its pain.
After a second, the light receded as though it was never there, and darkness returned to the surroundings.
Lucian wasn't one to waste such opportunity. Immediately, he jumped to his feet as though he wasn't even injured and descended on the still howling beast.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
His attacks were fast but they were hard and forceful. And he punctured many holes on the beast as though his life depended on it.
He only stopped when the beast finally only whimpered softly in pain.
Lucian didn't waste anytime and moved forwards in the darkness, he touched upon the box and then he placed his imprint on it, a soft warning light illuminated the dark atmosphere and a noise sounded from the silver box.
He didn't bother to open it and immediately entered a room and swiftly jumped his way from the window while using his right hand to grab at every edge it could hold, slowing down his decent as he fell off the building.
An angry howl tore out from the wolf King's mouth and from its anger, it actually jumped out from the window. Although, dropping from a height of more than fifty meters.
Lucian face soon darkened. The dark wolf King extended its claws outwards. Piecing its four paws deep into the walls, its slid down the walls with the help of gravity and its weights as it pursued after Lucian.
Sparks ricochet off the walls due to the friction of its claws and the walls
'Shit! When did beasts get this smart and cunning.' Lucian grumbled and he shouted out loud to the beast above him.
"Better not force my hand!" the beast only barked threateningly at Lucian anger and viciousness clouding it's mind.
Lucian descending speed was gradually decreasing. But Lucian wasn't stupid enough to slid down to the ground.
There were still several dark wolves barking at him from the ground.
He immediately slammed his fist against the wall and he swiftly swung his body inside the room and he rapidly made his way to the next room.
It seem the building was a sort of dormitory. Lucian was now certain of it as there were several rooms in the building.
Seeing as Lucian had entered a room, the beast followed in pursuit but it had to destroy the entire wall as it clawed its way into the room.
But at that time, Lucian had appeared in another location, all the while struggling to climb back up to the other top floors.
He was incredibly tired in both mind and physique. He couldn't even imagine that he would last this long.
