10 Ball of fire, Again

Grim was confused, and as was the hunting party of thunder wolves in front of himself, as they all and he himself stared at his fist which had started burning who knows when. He seemed to be in a daze as he slowly lifted his head to look at the wolves that were just standing there, in front of him, and then looked back at his burning fist.

The wolves too were in a daze. They were much more surprised than grim as they had firsthand witnessed what had happened. They all saw with their eyes their weak prey close his eyes and throw out an equally weak punch in a bid to delay his inevitable death, a final gambit if you will. But then, out of nowhere the fist he threw out towards their comrade suddenly lit up on fire, and after the mere second in which they closed their eyes due to the near blinding light, they found their pouncing comrade dead on their prey's side.

Grim woke up from his reverie and realized the situation he was in when he heard the low growl of a wolf. He looked at them, blanked out for a second then suddenly smirked.

' If I can kill you, there is no need to be scared now is there ?' He thought as he once again ran, but this time towards the wolves. The wolves too realized the situation and after a low growl from the leading wolf, spread out and surrounded Grim.

When he saw that they had got into a formation he looked around himself to confirm what he was facing against as he muttered his master's words of wisdom ' Know your enemy before you fight. Your death won't be as ugly then. '

Although that advice seemed negative, his master at least told him what to do in many situations, but that advice was considering he would be a mage which didn't seem quite as useful right now.

Either way, he seemed to be trapped in a polygon, a hexagon to be exact. In front of him was the leader wolf who seemed to have fur that was a little more of a darker shade of blue compared to the other 5 wolves.

On his sides were 2 more wolves which seemed to have fur somewhat between the leader's and the three wolves' behind himself's shade of blue.

If this race of monsters determined strength based on the shade of the color of fur, the leader was the strongest, the two on his sides were slightly weaker and the thee behind him were the weakest.

Time seemed to slow down for him as he calculated all methods of avoiding a fight that seemed possible. Running back towards the forest was impossible. Even if he thought he could survive in the forest, his south, south east and south west had wolves guarding against this exact situation.

His east and west had wolves and considering he was the center of the compass, the leader was north of him.

' Peaceful escape impossible.' He muttered as he concluded his calculations. ' Only way to escape is to kill the leader, or worst case, all of them.'

He pushed off the ground once again as he punched towards the leader who just slightly backed away, allowing a wolf behind and the one to his east to pounce on him from two sides.

' Playing hard.' He thought as he realized what was happening.

' Even if it's for nothing, at least it will push them back.' He thought as he steadied his left foot on the ground with some difficulty before using his right leg to perform a reverse roundhouse kick.

To his surprise, before the kick landed on the mouth of the wolf, exactly where he was aiming, a ball of fire, just like the one that appeared when he created that hand cannon, appeared out of his bracelet and quickly got absorbed by his right foot, which also started burning, just like his fist.

The flames around his foot extended outward and just before they hit the wolf, almost turned solid and cut through the two wolves that were pouncing towards him. He slowly felt his momentum weaken and stood facing the wolf on his original west. He felt like he had no time to admire what happened, so he quickly made a ran towards the wolf and with a direct punch on the back of the wolf who seemingly wanted to retreat, the flames directly ran inside the body of the wolf, charring his fur and burning him from the inside, killing him on the spot.

He turned around with an excited expression on his face, but found the other three wolves howling as they ran back towards the forest they came out of.

He looked at the transparent interface in front of himself with confusion, when it suddenly vanished and got replaced by a new red colored interface.

He looked at the interface for a few seconds, before being scared by the howls of wolves coming from the forest which seemed much more in quantity and scurrying away.
