Chapter 240 Slim Chances
Nelvad watched from a distance. Just like he usually does when they are in a fight.
He was always watching from afar to see the widest range and decide how best to plan to finish the battle.
However, right now Nelvad's mind couldn't focus.
His grip on his bow became very tight. But his eyes weren't focused on the Lycan that Muran, Zirles, and Mei were facing.
He glanced at Goldid who was lying on the ground. One of his hands that had ripped was bleeding profusely.
Fortunately, Ro has a very strong healing Magic skill. So that she could stop Goldid's bleeding quickly.
'This is all my fault!'
Nelvad can't help but blames himself. Goldid had suffered such injuries because he had taken too long to wake up.
Nelvad didn't think Ro's warning of bigger trouble was serious.
Because he heard that the threat that came was just a pack of wolves. Goldid couldn't be outdone by just a few wolves.
So Nelvad decided to continue his sleep. But when Ro started screaming and crying, Nelvad immediately felt that the situation was getting more serious than he thought.
Nelvad went outside with all the party members who felt Ro's anxiety.
It turned out that when they got outside, what they saw was a very bad and terrible scene.
Goldid was sprawled on the ground with missing arms. And the pack of Lycans that seemed to be five times or six times bigger than the average wolf lining watching from distance.
And a Lycan with black fur and with a bloody mouth.
Nelvad and the rest of the party immediately regretted their negligence. If only they had come sooner...
"Nelvad!"
The sound of Ena's scream snapped Nelvad out of his reverie.
Nelvad immediately turned his head towards Ena.
"What are you doing?! You have to fight!"
Then Nelvad was pulled back to reality. The fact that he had to fight to avenge what the Lycan had done to Goldid.
He gritted his teeth and nocked his arrow on his bow. Then Nelvad aimed at the Lycan with black fur.
*WOURGH!*
One of the Lycans watching barked. He was the Grim who was warning Sigewulf if someone was aiming at him from a distance.
Grim always paid attention to those Adventurers who suddenly came.
He knew that there were seven of them. So seeing the dark-skinned Adventurer come alone was really odd.
Grim thought that he must be taking them lightly. But it didn't take long for the dark-skinned man to realize his mistake.
He was even now sprawled out with his hands torn off.
Since they came, Grim knew that the battle would not be as easy as before.
However, it wasn't enough for them to defeat Sigewulf. As strong as they are, they are only human.
"HEYAA!!!"
Zirles, a large, bald man fighting with a pair of iron gauntlets shouted.
He lunged at Sigewulf and then threw a fist covered in a green aura.
Sigewulf jumped up and dodged the blow easily.
However, Zirles grinned as if what Sigewulf was doing was what he was planning.
Sigewulf realized that. But now that he was already in the air so he couldn't avoid it anymore.
Suddenly the ground under Sigewulf shot up and hit him.
*BUAGHH!*
"HA HA HA!"
Zirles laughed seeing SIgewulf fall after being hit by the boulder he threw.
Seeing the opportunity right before his eyes, Zirles immediately dashed towards Sigewulf who was still lying down.
"ZIRLES! STOP!"
Zirles ignored Mei's screams warning him and kept running.
When he was in front of Sigewulf he raised his fist again after pouring out a large amount of Magic.
And intend to punch Sigewulf in the head.
However, Sigewulf will not stay silent and just take the attack like that.
He pretended to be helpless after the boulder hit him. And he stayed lying down as if he couldn't do anything.
When Zirles was in front of him, Sigewulf swung his claws with incredible speed. The speed that Zirles could not see.
*CRAAATTT!!!*
Zirles was thrown into the air without even knowing what was happening to him in the split seconds.
He only felt a pain in his chest that felt unreal because of the shock.
"ZIRLES!"
Muran came running over. He pointed his staff towards Zirles who was in free fall and sent a bluish light towards him.
The light enveloped Zirles' body and stopped his fall.
Sigewulf saw the opportunity before his eyes. He jumped and immediately ran almost without pause.
His huge legs sent Sigewulf toward Muran with incredible speed.
But suddenly his feet stopped because they were caught by something on the ground.
When Sigewulf looked down, he saw that his feet had sunk several inches into the ground.
Shortly after that, a shadowy figure came to him.
*SRAATTT!*
Sigewulf was not fast enough to completely dodge the incoming slash. But he was still able to move his head sideways fast enough for him to dodge the dagger blades coming towards his eyes.
In the end, the dagger only slashed Sigewulf's cheek.
"Grhhh..."
Sigewulf growled angrily. His teeth were gritted and some of Goldid's blood was still there.
'As expected from humans.'
Sigewulf looked at all the Adventurers with disdain.
They must have used dirty tricks like this to beat Bjarki's pack.
Because there's no way Bjarki would lose to a human with this level of strength.
"Damnit! I can gouge your eyes a little more to the side," Mei said.
Sigewulf understood what she was saying.
Lycans didn't usually understand what other creatures were saying. But some Lycans with high Magic ability can understand other languages.
Sigewulf was able to reply to Mei's words in human language.
But he felt that the energy he used to talk to the people he was about to kill would be wasted energy.
Sigewulf lifted his foot from the trap on the ground. He only had to slightly increase his Magic to escape from that trap.
"Muran! Ena! Help me!" Mei said.
Muran and Ena nodded. They prepare to fight Sigewulf. Although seeing that their chances are quite slim.
