Ch 29: Killing The Wolf King

"Hey, are you alright?"

Rohan saw that all the wolves had died. He was very grateful to Emrys for saving his life. He looked at Emrys with a complicated expression.

The combat strength that Emrys displayed just now was too strong. Although he was only an Elementary Bronze Soul Beast, he was easily able to defeat more than eight Three-eyed Horned Wolves by himself. Among the Soul Beasts he killed, only three were Elementary Bronze Soul Beasts while the others were all Intermediate Bronze Soul Beasts.

The prowess Emrys displayed was not ordinary. This really surprised him.

How can he not be surprised?

Emrys used to be weaker than him just a day ago, but now, he was strong enough to kill Intermediate Bronze Soul Beasts with some effort.

"I'm fine!" Emrys said faintly, his entire focus was on the surroundings. Unlike Rohan, he and Cairo were cautious enough to not let their guard down. Cairo, as an Intel Scout, was very knowledgeable. Since they already knew that the Wolf King was not among the previous pack of wolves, it must be lurking somewhere near, looking for an opportunity to strike.

Where are you?

Emrys frowned. He had a way to immediately find the Wolf King; however, he hesitated. What if the Wolf King was not within the range of a 100-meter radius?

However, if he wanted to quickly locate the Wolf King, he had to at least give it a shot.

Emrys was hesitating because he could only use the Node Shift ability three times a day. Two of those times had already been used during the battle against the pack of Three-eyed Horned Wolves. If he failed to find the Wolf King at the last chance, the situation would become troublesome.

"Where do you think the Wolf King is hiding?" Emrys looked at Cairo and asked.

Cairo glanced at the surroundings and finally said, "I cannot pinpoint the exact location, but the Wolf King shouldn't be far from us. It must be closely monitoring our movements. We've slain so many of its subordinates. Although it is intelligent enough not to immediately seek revenge, it's still a wolf, a Wolf King at that. It cannot ignore the deaths of its pack members and will undoubtedly come after us for revenge."

"I suspect it should be hidden within a hundred meters of us. After all, judging from the strength of its subordinates, the Wolf King must be at most an Advanced Bronze Soul Beast. It's definitely not a Silver Soul Beast. If it were truly a Silver Soul Beast, it wouldn't need to test our strength through its subordinates; it would not stay hidden and wait for an opportunity to strike."

As expected of an Intel Scout. Cairo was a truly knowledgeable person.

Emrys nodded silently, thinking of something. All of a sudden, his eyes gleamed with bright silver light. The next moment, the world around him transformed into a three-dimensional space.

In this three-dimensional space, Emrys's eyes were like a God's Eye, observing the world below. There was nothing that could escape his eyes. There were tens of thousands of nodes within this space, and every node was bright and clear to him.

There you are!

The corner of his mouth curled up as he disappeared the next second.

About eighty meters away, within a dense bush, a huge wolf with three eyes and a 10-inch long horn crouched, carefully observing every movement made by Emrys's team of three.

As expected, it was an Advanced Bronze Soul Beast. What set this Soul Beast apart from others was its huge body and its fur, which was a mixture of grey and white.

When Emrys disappeared, the Wolf King seemed to sense an imminent threat. Without wasting a single second, it wanted to escape. It had relied on its intuition and senses to become who it was today. Without doubting its intuition for even a moment, the Wolf King chose to flee.

Unfortunately, Emrys was faster. He appeared right above the Wolf King's head, slashing with all his strength.

Puff!

Growl~

With a puffing sound, the Wolf King's neck was separated. An E-1 Alloy Knife was a weapon usually held by a Silver Soul Beast. It was unusually sharp and powerful. Even though Emrys was just an Elementary Bronze Soul Master, he was easily able to kill an Advanced Bronze Soul Beast with the combined use of his ability and a powerful weapon.

The Wolf King growled and took its last breath.

Emrys sat down right there. He was tired as well and could not make another move. In the last attack, he used up all his strength and Soul Force.

Placing his hand on the corpse of the Wolf King, he started extracting Soul Force.

[Obtained 500 Soul Points.] 

Emrys was surprised. He did not expect to directly obtain 500 Soul Points from an Advanced Bronze Soul Beast.

He suddenly has a feeling. Without wasting time, he dug out the Soul Orb from the Wolf King's body. It was actually a Master-leveled Green Soul Orb.

Emrys's eyes lit up. He hurriedly returned to Rohan and Cairo's side with the Soul Orb in his hand.

"You are done so soon?"

Rohan and Cairo were surprised to see Emrys returning with a Soul Orb. It was clear he had killed the Wolf King. The ability to 'teleport' in their eyes was truly powerful. Emrys could simply teleport anywhere and ambush anyone, executing a fatal strike. He was even capable of killing powerful beasts like the Wolf King in one go. His strength was marvelous indeed.

"It is actually a Master-leveled Green Soul Orb. Oh my god, this kind of Soul Orb can easily fetch more than a million credits."

Cairo spoke in excitement. This was the first time he had seen someone obtaining a Master-leveled Soul Orb.

"Let's not waste time; we have many Soul Orbs to dig out!" Emrys gestured. Rohan and Cairo looked at each other and nodded immediately. The three of them then began the final task that was crucial to them.

Very soon, a dozen Soul Orbs were gathered. Among them were five Ordinary Green Soul Orbs and seven Elite-leveled Green Soul Orbs.

Clearly, the Elite-leveled Green Soul Orbs were taken from the bodies of the Intermediate Bronze Three-eyed Horned Wolves.
