Hundreds of wind scythes came in Saiki's direction. With a simple movement, he dodged each of them. Anyone looking at that would think the attacks were slow, but in truth they were even faster than a pistol shot.
"Annoying." He said that before raising a shield.
When the shield was raised, the wind scythes hit, but incredibly the shield was able to resist.
It was almost 700 INT if counting the hybrid transformation. A shield created with so much INT had no way of being fragile.
Saiki didn't attack immediately. He created a second layer of shield and let himself be hit by the three wolves.
'How robust is my shield currently?'
Of course, it wasn't just to test the durability of the shield, but also...
[The level of <Mana Shield> increased.]
'Just as I imagined.' He thought: 'This way, this skill will level up much faster.'
[The level of <Mana Shield> increased.]
[The level of <Mana Shield> increased.]
Exactly 4 minutes later, Saiki stopped being passive.
'I only have a few seconds left in hybrid form and my main MP is almost empty, it's time to end this.'
When the shield disappeared, the green wolves seemed to have gotten excited.
However, they lost sight of Saiki.
"I'm here."
A typical anime phrase, something foolish to do, since it gave away his location, but Saiki simply wished to one day act like that. And there was no better place to do it.
With his hand in the shape of a shovel, his sharp claws shone under the sun.
The wolf that became the target, level 33, even knowing now where he was, couldn't dodge in time.
SCHLICK!
Saiki's sharp claw pierced the green wolf's head, passing through the throat.
[Critical Damage!]
[You inflicted 29,777 damage]
[You obtained 78,907 EXP.]
[Level Up!]
When he pulled his hand back, the wolf didn't even howl before being transformed into dust in the air.
'I recovered all my MP!' He almost wanted to continue playing with the green wolves, but gave up.
The other two wolves took distance and attacked in response.
Dodging with great ease, Saiki created a platform of sacred power for support for the left foot and shot forward, appearing in front of the level 31 wolf.
Like a sharp blade, Saiki cut the green wolf's throat. At the same time, he picked up with his free hand the orbs of the wolf that he killed by attracting with the wind.
[Critical Damage!]
[You inflicted 29,777 damage]
[You obtained 55,860 EXP.]
The last one remaining was the weakest among the three.
Perhaps knowing that it had no chance of winning, the green wolf lv.30 turned around and fled at extreme speed.
'Wanting to flee?'
Before pursuing it, however, Saiki picked up the orbs of the green wolf that was transformed into dust.
Whoosh!
Creating a trampoline of sacred power, Saiki shoots forward like a golden cannonball.
"Howl!!"
The wolf ahead perhaps sensed the danger, howled loudly, trying to increase its speed.
Saiki reached him, staying right above the wolf. The wolf looked up, their eyes met. A smile adorned Saiki's lips when he closed his hand into a fist and punched from top to bottom, hitting the wolf's head.
BENG!
A loud sound is produced by the impact of the punch.
The wolf's head exploded like a red paint balloon.
[Critical Damage!]
[You inflicted 38,236 damage]
[You obtained 44,870 EXP.]
[Level Up!]
'I leveled up again.' Saiki glided in the air, using the wind to attract the orbs that appeared as soon as the wolf was transformed into dust.
The EXP gained from the wolves was quite high compared to the rabbits.
It's even satisfying to hunt them.
[Level]: 25 → 28
'I've already reached level 28... If it continues at this pace, it won't take long until I reach level 50.'
The ease he has in killing the green wolves now is the same he had when killing rabbits. The main point that makes this so easy is because of the wings of the hybrid form. Without that, he would still take more time to be able to kill them.
Upon leveling up, his MP rose to 4 thousand. With that, he would be able to stay 6 minutes in hybrid form before running out of MP.
In hybrid form, his power is triple the initial value, whether in physical attack or magical.
And with his speed, it's possible to level up even before 6 minutes pass.
Flying over, he smelled another wolf, this time it was a solitary wolf.
Saiki advanced toward the smell.
[Lv.40] Green Wolf.
'His level is quite high.'
What made Saiki smile wasn't the high level of the wolf, but rather the fact that he was sleeping on elevated terrain.
He seemed comfortable sleeping in the shade, but little did he know he was in the sights of a predator...
Pointing both hands forward, he activated the skill "<Energy Bolt>!"
He didn't use the wind, since the wolves were sensitive to the wind and it could wake him up.
When the energy sphere became the size of a pilates ball, he fired.
Whoosh!
When the giant sphere was only 100 meters away, the wolf woke up.
He tried to flee, but it was already too late.
Booooom!
[Critical Damage!]
[You inflicted 57,676 damage]
[You obtained 273,750 EXP.]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
Thinking of something, Saiki opened his status page.
[Luck]: 221 → 288
It wasn't enough to reach 300, but with such a large increase in luck, it should give some result.
For example, finding more high-level monsters sleeping.
It would be perfect if this happened more times...
Descending, he went to pick up his loot.
The previous attack was so strong that it formed a crater large enough to make a pool.
Almost arriving, he stopped upon coming across something unknown: 'Huh? What is that shining among the orbs?'
