Struggle

"Another group?" Alisa raised her voice and pulled her sword again. "This is bad."

She looked at her injured teammates and realized they wouldn't be able to handle those wolves without suffering casualties.

In fact, they were pretty lucky that they managed to deal with the first group quickly or else they would be pincered from two directions.

Still, Alisa's eyes were locked on the bigger wolf that stood proudly among its pack.

"That's the real Alpha Wolf! The rest are just males!" Alisa gritted her teeth.

With the culmination of experiences she had gotten to this point, she immediately ordered, "Retreat to the town."

She turned to her teammates, looked at the cyclops, and pointed at the man whose injury was too severe. "Bring this man with you."

The cyclops nodded and hurriedly picked the man up while Alisa said, "Kyonya, you're the fastest among us. You go back to the town and request reinforcement. We can't afford to lose a single life here."

"Understood." Kyonya turned around and ran without hesitation.

Seeing Kyonya running away, the Alpha Wolf howled. "Aoooo!"

The wolves charged forward in succession, chasing after them.

Before running away, Albert took a glimpse of the Alpha Wolf's status.

Name: No Name

Race: Wolf (Alpha)

Level: 19

Gender: Male

His level was only four or five levels above the other wolves, but he seemed to be different from any of them.

"Run!" Alisa shouted again, waking them up.

Albert followed her command and ran as fast as he could.

Alisa was on the back as she needed to make sure the wolves didn't catch up with them.

However, the wolves were faster than her, so they quickly caught up.

"Sword Strike." She waved her sword and swiftly killed a wolf before moving to the second one.

After that, she used her Sword Whip and killed three wolves in one stroke. As if realizing her movement, the Alpha Wolf let out another howl.

"Aooo!"

The wolves split into three. The wolves coming from the back were to take Alisa's attention while the other two sides pincered the group.

"Did you not hear anything about their movements?" Alisa clicked her tongue and asked Albert.

"I did, but I never thought they were wolves. I thought they were just gonna pass us since they were a bit too far from us. And to think that the pregnant wolves took all my attention and forced them out of my mind…" Albert blamed himself because this mistake was due to his inexperience.

"You can do it later. For now, I need your help in defeating these wolves." Alisa shouted while slicing another wolf. "Handle the left side. There are around ten wolves, so it's going to be hard even for you, but can you do it alone?"

Albert frowned and took a look at his status.

Name: Albert Gran

Level: 9

EXP: 90%

Race: Demon Dog

Title: Bonk Junior

Since he had leveled up once after killing so many wolves earlier and was about to have another level up, Albert nodded with a firm expression. "I can."

"Good. I will leave the left side to you." Alisa nodded and shouted, "Griman, Buto, Ida, Muda, Sonon. Handle the right side. Sio and Elt will help either side. We're going to fight them here."

Seeing that they couldn't escape, Alisa changed her plan and made the group stop running. After that, she ran straight toward the numerous wolves while swinging her sword.

"Come!" Alisa released her killing intent, grabbing all the wolves' attention.

Albert gulped down and thought, 'Can she do it? I know that she is strong, but there are at least thirty wolves coming at her. Meanwhile…'

Albert squinted his eyes, looking at ten wolves that were coming from his side. "I need to focus on killing these wolves first."

He made his way to the wolves, getting some distance from the group first to ensure their safety.

Luckily, he seemed to gain their attention as all of them changed their direction.

Three wolves were at the very front while four of them were preparing to loop around them to surround Albert. The last three were still on the very back, so they couldn't do anything.

Seeing their formation, Albert had no hesitation in charging straight at the three wolves.

"Bonk Smasher." Albert waved his bat to the wolves, forcing them to back up. Instead of another swing, Albert stepped to the right and blocked the wolves coming from that direction.

"Bonk Smasher." Albert used his technique to ambush the two wolves. And his plan worked.

The first wolf's head was crushed while the other was still launched into the air.

Not liking when Albert hit their heads, the three wolves and now the two wolves that had arrived from the opposite directions pounced on him.

Albert smiled as he blocked all of them with just a slight touch of the Bonk Bat.

[Bonk Complete.]

[EXP+7]

[Bonk Complete.]

…

…

[Level up.]

The Bonk Bat launched all the wolves away, giving a huge opportunity for Albert to smash their heads.

Without hesitation, he took a step forward and consumed his Bonk Bites to use his Bonk Smasher to the now not horny wolves.

Bang.

Surprisingly, Albert crushed both wolves at the same time.

'Nice level up,' Albert muttered inwardly as he smiled, feeling more confident in dealing with all these wolves.

However, he was surprised by the last three wolves that jumped on top of their friends with their mouths open, planning to shred his body into pieces with those sharp fangs.

Albert bent his knees and fell on his butt, barely avoiding the three wolves. Then, he turned around and hit them with Bonk Smasher.

Bang.

Two wolves died in one swing while the other got bonked and launched into the air.

With this, he had killed five wolves and bonked all of them.

He looked at the wolves that were about to attack him again as he smirked and raised his bat, shouting. "Come!"
