Triumph

Alex felt triumphant, but the fight wasn't over yet.

He had dealt a serious injury to the wolf, but it wasn't dead yet and it was only angered even further.

Alex could also feel his energy rapidly depleting as the seconds ticked by, unable to do anything to control how his energy was used while he was in this state.

But even with its injuries, the wolf was on full alert against Alex, not taking its eyes off him once despite its struggle to stand up due to its missing leg.

Gathering his strength in his legs, Alex entered a stance very similar to how professional sprinters start, and launched himself off the ground towards the injured beast.

The wolf was determined not to let him land another attack like the previous one, and it readied itself to receive him. 

It also had a few tricks up its sleeve!

After a moment, Alex neared within 5 metres of the wolf, letting it feel the intense heat radiating off of his body.
