Chapter 17: The Great Battle! The One-Eyed Demon Wolf
A dark and windy night, a night for slaying demons...
"Roar~"
"Roar~"
The bright moonlight shone into the factory, revealing two enormous and imposing wolf-shaped silhouettes. Unlike the Ghost Wolf Beast under Bai Yang's command, this creature had extremely well-developed lower limbs, enough to support its massive body, which was nearly the size of a small car!
The two one-eyed demon wolves in front of them were in a semi-erect position, and the huge single eye on their foreheads looked extremely eerie in the night!
The One-Eyed Demon Wolf is a type of demon that is emphasized in the Demon Class. It usually inhabits remote wilderness areas and is blocked by military fortresses such as the Snow Peak Mountain Post Station.
What is taught in the classroom and what is seen with one's own eyes are two completely different concepts. If those students from magic high schools were to face it head-on, most of them would not be able to cast even the simplest spells!
Fortunately, after mentally preparing himself, and having previous experience dealing with the giant-eyed blood rats, Ling Tianyu was naturally not nervous, but it didn't affect his speed of casting magic that much.
The rest of the demon-hunting team members and instructor Bai Yang were not afraid at all. Bai Yang took the lead and rode the Ghost Wolf Beast to pounce on one of the larger one-eyed demon wolves.
The demon-hunting team members were equally determined, and with Xu Dahuang unleashing a burst of fire, they launched their attack.
"Fire Sizzles, Bones Burn!"
Xu Dahuang shouted, and within three seconds he drew a star trail. A ball of flame streaked across the night sky and pounced on another smaller, one-eyed demon wolf like a tiger.
"Ice Vines - Freeze!"
Just as the one-eyed wolf was trying to avoid the scorching flames, Cai Tang's ice vines attacked, instantly freezing a layer of hard ice on the wolf's forelegs. The cold air invaded its body, making the wolf's movements extremely slow.
"Earth Wave - Slow!"
That wasn't all. Fei Shi placed his hands on the ground, and a strong brown starlight emanated from the spot where his large palms touched the ground. In an instant, the gravel ground where the one-eyed wolf stood turned into a layer of swamp. Every step he took required much more stamina than before, and his speed was greatly reduced.
The double slowing magic effect halved the speed of the one-eyed wolf, leaving it powerless to evade Xu Dahuang's burning bone flames. In an instant, the wolf was engulfed in blazing flames.
The one-eyed wolf, a terrifying demon regarded as a monster by many novice mages, was almost powerless against a well-coordinated demon-hunting team. While its physical strength was formidable, its lack of ranged attack capabilities became apparent once its movement was restricted.
Flames raged, and the demonic wolf howled in agony, but did you think that was the end of it?
The wolf's formidable physique meant that even a level two fire attack could only inflict minor superficial wounds. Moreover, the extreme pain had thoroughly enraged it, driving it into a berserk state.
Braving the flames, the demon wolf's single eye turned red, blood vessels spreading across it. A fierce aura of demonic beast swept out, and then, with a slight bend in its legs and a little effort, it leaped more than ten meters away, pouncing like a meteorite towards Xu Dahuang, who was closest to it.
The icy chill of the ice vines was no match for its boiling blood, and the ground waves from the boulders while it was airborne were also powerless. The only skill that could provide protection now was Xiao Ke's [Water Defense].
In fact, the moment the one-eyed demon wolf was burned, Xiao Ke was already preparing the Water Star Control Technique, but under the demon wolf's roar, she lost her composure and suddenly trembled, and the Water Star Orbit broke at this critical moment!
In other words, Xu Dahuang now has to dodge the attack of a car-like behemoth without any magical assistance, and the outcome is predictable.
"Vines grow!"
At the critical moment, Ling Tianyu finally stopped standing idly by. With a lush green vine whip wrapped around his hand, he swung his forearm, lifting Xu Dahuang's body and pulling him up. At the same time, another vine whip shot out from his left, lashing out at the demonic wolf. The demonic wolf, suspended in mid-air, had no way to avoid the blow and could only take it.
Ling Tianyu remembered that the wolves in his previous life had "copper heads, iron bones, and tofu waists," so he figured that the wolf demons in this world should have the same physiological structure. Therefore, his vine whip struck the one-eyed demon wolf's vulnerable spot precisely.
"Click!"
The sound of bones cracking rang out as the one-eyed wolf was slammed to the ground, sending up a cloud of dust and stones.
Compared to the previous magic, the physical attack effect of the Plant Whip seems to be more outstanding. Although it failed to seriously injure the wolf, it did affect its movement.
"Well done, Brother Yutian!" Xu Dahuang said, giving a thumbs-up with his left hand, while simultaneously opening his right palm and sending up a ball of flame.
"You beast, how dare you ambush me! You'd better eat this flame!"
"Sizzle & Burst!"
Xu Dahuang's wild voice echoed through the abandoned meat factory, followed by a series of explosions. Centered on the half-crippled one-eyed demon wolf, the area within several meters was engulfed in ferocious flames, and the one-eyed demon wolf was no exception.
The heat wave hit us, and we could only imagine that the demonic wolf inside must look utterly miserable.
