Chapter 31: The Guardian

The threatening feeling was coming from right behind him!

Whittaker turned around and saw a wolf, the same size as the winter wolf, whisking towards him while revealing her sharp and shiny Fangs.

The Luna wolf had silently slinked her way to the mage. Among the low-level magical beasts, Luna wolf knew how to hide and mask her presence very well. "To sneak up at a prey and suddenly kill it," this was her way of hunting, far different from the rest of the packs.

With a distance of three meters between them, nothing was stopping her from going all out.

She pounced towards her prey. In response, Whittaker shouted with a smile hung low on his face,

[Frost Shield]

Almost immediately the Frost spellbook converted 50 mana into frost elemental mana and three Frost Walls materialized right between them, separating him from the sight of the Luna Wolf.

He wasn't gonna go down without putting up a fight. Eyes reflecting his determination, he thought, 'I will utilize everything I have to take down the Luna! Even if it means exposing my embarrassing side to my roommate.'

The Luna wolf was in mid-air, and she couldn't change her directions. The only path left for her was to break through the Frost Walls. Behind the Frost Walls, Whittaker steadily stood with a sword in his hand.

While still in mid-air the Luna Wolf bright eyes shine brighter as she used her ability,

[Three-Clawed Ice Swipe!]

Three lines of Icy energy shoot out from her claws and shattered two of the three Frost Wall. While her 5-meter wide-body crashed into the third Frost Wall.

"Smash!" Under the heavy impact, the last Frost Wall immediately shattered. Some of the icy shards stabbed into the flesh of the Luna, while others grazed past her skins but her momentum propelled her ahead.

The bleeding Luna Wolf believed that, after breaking the Frost shields, she will see the terrified face of the defenseless mage but reflected in her eyes was something entirely else.

It was a confident smile and a will to fight!

Two Frost Bolts smashed into her face and before she knows it, a seven-colored light blinded her vision.

This was the perfect opportunity to attack as the Luna wolf could not change her direction.

"Chop!" Whittaker chopped down with his sword.

"Swish!" The seven-colored edges of the sword sliced into her neck as if it was a hot knife passing through butter. Blood was drawn as the head of the Luna wolf was chopped off. Blood sprinkled on the seven-colored sword and Whittaker, who didn't have time to marvel at the sharpness of the sword, cause her headless body knocked him down!

The Winter Wolf was already on his last breath. Seeing his mate die, he breathed his last.

[User has Killed an E-ranked Winter Wolf. Obtained 200 Experience Points]

Pressed beneath her body, he didn't feel any pain because of the mana-shield. Only a handful of mana was detected from his mana bar, leaving him with dozens of mana points that regenerated over time.

The system notifications brightened his mode even more so than before.

He pushed the Luna Wolf body to the side and sat up in a slight daze. "Eh?" To his surprise, all the blood of the Luna Wolf from the nearby surrounding has been rushing to the seven-colored sword held in his hand!

One by one, the seven colors of the sword vanished, replacing them was a pure black blade with a Scarlet attribute line that stretched from the handle of the sword to its edge.

A single attribute line means an S-ranked class weapon!

Multiple system notification popped up and filled his vision,

[Detected! The User has initiated the bonding ceremony with his own free will. Seal of the Class weapon shattered!]

'Own free will???' Whittaker's eyes opened wider due to the sudden surprise and he remained still in a daze.

Whittaker's eyes rapidly blinked as he barely understood what's going on. This time even his intelligence wasn't enough to help him understand the sudden surge in power.

All the blood rushed faster into Blood Drinker!

[Blood Drinker absorbed Luna wolf blood!]

[Passive Skill Activated: Skill Duplication]

The spellbook started to absorb mana from the surrounding while shining brightly. A new spell page formed in the air and became a part of the book.
