He had found that he could project and maintain the strength of three knives simultaneously. To ensure preparedness for unforeseen circumstances, Veer had also secured two additional knives, ready to be deployed as needed.
Veer was fully aware that he possessed the capability to easily dispatch the wolf packs, but he refrained from doing so. Veer was resolute in his decision not to reveal his true power in the presence of the Fire of Magic guild members.
Contemplating the situation, Veer wondered how he could separate the wolf packs, allowing him to eliminate them with ease. Thoughts raced through his mind as he searched for a strategic approach.
Interrupting his train of thought, Karv spoke up, addressing Veer, Aisa, and Jack. "I'll lead those wretched creatures away. You all need to escape and make your way to the 055 forest camp area to seek help," Karv declared, a hint of determination in his voice. He wore a bittersweet smile, acknowledging that survival might not be guaranteed for him today.
Veer gazed at Karv, deeply moved by his willingness to sacrifice his life for the sake of his newfound comrades, despite having known them for only a single day. Veer observed the smile on Karv's face, a smile that seemed to convey the realization that survival might elude him today. Veer recognized Karv's courage and selflessness.
A sense of determination washed over Veer as he realized that he had to take action, even if it seemed foolish. He muttered to himself, "It seems I'm about to do something foolish today, but I can't think of any other option." Grinding his teeth, Veer mustered his resolve and addressed Karv.
"Karv, you don't need to put your life on the line. Instead, I'll divert their attention. You all must escape," Veer declared firmly, determined to take on the daunting task himself.
Veer's frustration grew as he heard Karv's insistence on taking the risk himself. Veer was aware that the rank 2 demon wolves possessed superior speed, making them likely to catch up with Karv swiftly. However, Karv remained resolute, emphasizing his faster agility compared to the others.
Aisa and Jack understood the validity of Karv's point. Jack interjected, reminding Karv of his daughter and wife, urging him to return to them. Jack offered himself as an alternative, mentioning that he had no family to worry about.
Upon hearing Jack's words, Aisa stepped forward, expressing her willingness to stay as well. She asserted that if Jack didn't go, she would also remain by their side.
Jack, appreciating Aisa's concern, responded, "Aisa, there's no need for you to stay here."
Veer listened to their conversation, feeling conflicted. On one hand, he wished they would leave so he could eliminate the wolf packs without hindrance. On the other hand, he couldn't help but be touched by the warmth displayed by his companions, a feeling he had never experienced before.
Veer, fueled by determination, harnesses his inner strength and speed, causing them to surge simultaneously. The power within him surges and manifests in an explosive release, propelling him forward as he charges towards the approaching Wolf Pack. Aisa, Jack, and Karv stand in awe, shocked by the sudden transformation, as Veer's newfound strength and speed surpass even Karv's.
Witnessing Veer's astonishing abilities, a flurry of thoughts swirl in their minds. They contemplate whether Veer had consumed some kind of medicine that could instantaneously enhance one's strength and speed. Concern lingers, as they wonder if such a medicine might have detrimental effects, eventually weakening Veer or even leading to his demise, as Karv suggests.
While Aisa and Jack are taken aback by Veer's incredible display, Jack makes a move to follow Veer's path. However, Curve intervenes, stopping Jack in his tracks. Curve implores Jack to reconsider, reminding him that Veer had willingly put his life on the line to save them. It is a precious opportunity not to be wasted.
Veer, who was running towards Wolf's group, glanced back for a moment and noticed that everyone had already departed from the curve. A smile appeared on Veer's face upon seeing this.
"It's a good thing they're all gone. Now I can deal with it myself," Veer thought.
With renewed determination, Veer picked up speed and headed towards Demon Wolf's group. When Veer was just 15 meters away from the group, he swiftly drew his blade and struck the ground with force. Then, carefully aligning himself in the right direction, Veer grasped the handle of the blade and pulled it towards him. Veer was now heading at a 90-degree angle from Wolf Peak, disappearing into the forest like a spinning top.
The wolves, who had initially started running towards the approaching human, abruptly changed their direction upon seeing Veer running in the opposite direction. They entered the forest, emitting a loud howl.
"Come..." Veer whispered confidently.
With that, all the wolves began chasing Veer. "Huh, so now he's after me. It's a good thing those wolves didn't go after my friends," Veer thought.
Suddenly, Veer closed his eyes and opened them again, causing a brilliant blue light to emit from his eyes. Now flying through the air like a cannonball, Veer swiftly grabbed hold of a tree branch and started running towards Wolf's group. Ever since achieving the rank of a top warrior, Veer's speed had increased to 24 m/s. However, with the addition of mana to his internal energy, his speed had reached an astounding 60 m/s, surpassing that of the Wolf Pack.
In the form of Veer (S), he appeared formidable against the group of wolves. With his blade in hand, Veer began severing the necks of the wolves that approached him. A river of blood began flowing as Veer relentlessly eliminated the wolves, one after another.
Veer, swiftly dispatching the wolves, caught a glimpse of something that made him realize the toll of using both mana and internal energy simultaneously. Exhaustion was creeping in, and Veer knew that if he continued this way, he would soon faint. Determined to end the fight decisively, Veer made up his mind to employ his powerful Thunder Storme spell to eliminate them all at once.
