Sharp Blade Drawn

"Awooo—"

The moment the Silver Wolf King breathed his last, the pack let out a mournful howl.

New information also popped into Li En's mind.

[Mission complete, active skill learned: Blade Unsheathed]

"Blade unsheathed, what kind of skill is that?"

Li En thought to himself and silently used his skill. As a result, his claws made a soft hissing sound and several sharp claw blades, each a meter long, grew out.

"this……"

Li En was startled. These claw blades were made of magic and emitted a low buzzing sound when they were swung.

The magic consumption to maintain the claw blades was negligible, nothing to Li En.

He tried swinging his sword at the tree next to him and felt no resistance, only a slight depletion of his magic power.

The next moment, the tree silently tilted and then collapsed with a crash.

"Wow, this is what it means to draw a sharp blade!"

This was the first time Li En had obtained a skill with such direct combat power, which immediately filled him with immense joy.

Especially during his previous hand-to-hand combat with the wolves, he felt that his claws were not enough.

Now that he has this "Unsheathed Blade" skill, the lethality of his claws has increased many times over.

Like ordinary cats, Li En's paws are structured with five in the front and four in the back.

The two front claws have five toes, one of which is a dangling toe that doesn't touch the ground.

The two claws at the back have four toes, and one of them is a dangling toe for the aerial capture device.

Li En tried it out and found that it was more comfortable to maintain the three claw blades with the front claws.

Although this "Unsheathed Blade" skill is new, Li En now has a better grasp of it. After studying it for a short while, he can freely choose how many claws to unleash and how long to maintain them.

The claw blade is most comfortable when it is kept at one meter. It is long enough to ensure its lethality, and the consumption of its own magic power is negligible.

However, extending the claw blade further will increase the magic power consumed; if the length is too long, the consumption will easily double.

"Unless there are special circumstances, it's best not to make it too long."

Li En tried it a couple of times and found that when the claw blades were shorter, the magic consumption was not only less, but also more subtle.

He thought about it and felt that this newly acquired active skill should have a lot of ways to be played, which needs to be further developed in the future.

"Why have your claws gotten so long?" Luna asked curiously after looking at his head for a while.

"It's probably because I haven't had a haircut in a long time," Lee Eun said nonsensically.

Luna pouted, knowing that Li En was being petty, and retorted:

"Don't you realize that your older sister has lived a few years longer than you? What haven't I seen? I've never seen such a petty cat like you. So what if you've just mastered another of your species' abilities? Everyone has those."

It seems Luna really likes being called "older sister," as she's even referring to herself as such now.

Furthermore, she even imagined Lee En's "sharp blade drawing" skill, saving him the trouble of explaining.

Li En laughed heartily and sweetly called out "Sister Luna" a few more times. The innocent little white snake was so charmed that it was completely oblivious to the world around it, almost swaying its head directly on Li En's head, enjoying itself to the fullest.

"Sister Luna, let's get down to business first. Why aren't these wolves dispersing?" Li En asked curiously.

The wolf pack, isolated by the ice wall, showed no signs of dispersing even after witnessing the fall of the Silver Wolf King. Instead, they remained around the ice wall, staring intently at Li En, as if determined to fight to the death.

"Oh? It seems this wolf pack is very united. They want to avenge the old wolf king. Whoever can avenge him will be the new wolf king." Luna was right, not bluffing, and saw through the wolf pack's intentions.

"Isn't this like throwing an egg against a rock? They should be able to see that they can't beat us," Li En said, puzzled.

Survival is the most primal instinct of all animals.

If you can clearly see the situation, you should protect yourself wisely.

In this respect, it's not a matter of intelligence, but rather stems from animal instinct.

"I'm afraid the wolf pack feels that without a new wolf king to lead them, they're doomed anyway." Luna also frowned slightly.

Although the weather is getting colder and winter is approaching, making it even harder to catch prey, wolf packs with the ability to migrate can still hunt and survive along the way.

Unless the wolf pack faces an even greater threat.

Luna shared her thoughts with Lee Eun.

Li En listened thoughtfully.

He didn't know much about the habits of wolves in this world, so he mainly relied on Luna's analysis.

"Regardless, let's deal with these wolves first," Li En said, carefully counting them.

It was discovered that there were about fifty wolves surrounding the ice wall, including several strong wolves acting as guards.

It's clear that these guys are the most eager, impatient to break through the ice wall and tear Li En apart.

These few should be the most likely candidates for the new wolf king.

"I still have the energy, but I think we should wait for Melina and the others." Li En had already completed his mission and had little motivation to kill the wolves again.

After fighting the Silver Wolf King, ordinary wild wolves no longer held much interest for Li En.

The gap in strength between the two is still enormous.

The Silver Wolf King is a true magical beast capable of using magic.

But the remaining wolves were just ordinary wild animals and could no longer serve as much training material for Li En.

Luna nodded slightly in agreement: "You're right. It would be better to leave these wolves to Melina's two students."

Having followed Melina for many years, Luna has come to understand some of the principles of teaching through observation and experience.

Only slightly challenging goals are meaningful for practical training.

When the difference between the two is too large, it becomes meaningless.

"Then let's wait here. Luna's ice wall should be able to hold them off for days." Li En squinted and helped Luna up.

Melina and the others are traveling on foot, and it will probably be after dawn before they catch up with Li En and Luna.

With plenty of time to spare, Li En planned to take a nap.

Since Luna was there, he was too lazy to even climb the tree. He simply flattered Luna and told her to be in charge of maintaining the ice wall.

But Luna said, "There's no need to go to such trouble."

With that, Luna's tail swirled around, creating a magic gate in mid-air.

Li En's half-closed eyes suddenly widened as he stared at the magic gate that had suddenly appeared before him.

"I knew it! The Covenant of Unity must also have a similar summoning ability, but judging from that Dragon Lord's style, it'll definitely be the opposite!"

When Li En saw that Safina could summon magical beasts, he asked Melina about it.

When Melina started stammering, he knew there was something fishy going on.

As expected, the covenant of the Tongxin Society reversed the Heavenly Gang, allowing magical beasts to summon magicians in reverse.

Li En looked up, full of curiosity, and gazed into the magic door, only to find that he could actually see what was inside.

On the other side of the magic gate was the previous campsite, and Li En could clearly see Melina sitting by the campfire and the tent next to her.

"Luna, how is it?"

Melina's magical energy emanated from within the magic gate.
