The Holy Land

35 Chapter 35: Scenario one and two

Wilhelm peered through the nearby trees and shrubs with his keen eyes. Although it was pitch black outside, he was still capable of perceiving the bloodthirsty orbs gazing upon him. He couldn't make out their exact figures, but their size was surely not small. Judging by their eye-level, they were at the same height a large wolf stood at.

Scanning both left and right, Wilhelm observed the sturdy trees and tall blades of grass with caution. He debated on whether or not escaping to the trees, but he didn't know if the pack of wolves were his only enemy. Not to mention the possibility of them possessing some form of long-range attacks; like magic or another supernatural ability.

A dozen or so different scenarios played out inside of Wilhelms's head as time slowly ticked by. The howls were growing increasingly louder and more dangerous the longer he idled by — they were getting closer.

Wilhelm was irritated by the incredulous amount of sounds in the forest, he had not prepared for a battle of attrition. Killing one or two wolves was not a problem, but fending off hundreds was an entirely different story. His body would begin to tire after a dozen kills and then his wounds would start to pile up after thirty. It was not a good outlook for him.

"How annoying," Wilhelm grumbled.

Then, suddenly, right as his voice faded, a large wolf-like creature pounced toward him. A conspicuous horn could be seen on the blue and white patterned wolf. It rested on its forehead as if it were a spear.

Wilhelm was surprised by the strange horn, but not overwhelmed by it in the slightest. He quickly maneuvered his body toward the ground and struck the wolf in the abdomen with a palm-strike. Its body arched in the air and flew out to where the rest of the pack laid in wait, hitting one of the thick trees and breaking a few bones in the process.

Afterward, the wolves regained their vigilance and Wilhelm dusted off his hands. Fighting one at a time was an easy task. However, although they were mere animals, they were not dumb. They traveled in a pack for a reason and slowly started to encircle Wilhelm, like trained warriors on the battlefield. The bigger wolves stood in front while the more agile ones crouched behind them, preparing to assault.

Wilhelm placed his two allocatable stat points into stamina and charged at the closest wolf, on his left. He wasn't going to wait and let the beasts form a well-trained formation around him; that would be idiotic.

Both daggers played in his hands as he reached the first wolf instantly, stabbing it in the neck before it could even react.

Blood spurted for its body and the agile wolf which was crouching behind it lept up in retaliation. Yet, its fate was similar to the first one. Wilhelm rotated his body to the right and kicked it in the ribs, blasting it a few meters east, into another random wolf.

Strength and agility had never been an issue, especially speed. Wilhelm moved quicker than what the wolves were capable of even discerning with their eyes. He was like a tiger in a flock of sheep, slaughtering another wolf each and every second that passed by. With his masterful use of his daggers and his flexible body, he was unmatched on the battlefield. Even if two or three attacked at the same time, it was pointless.

Like this, countless carcasses laid in his wake as he moved out of the encirclement. At no point in time did he let the wolves cover all four of his sides, he made sure that he only fought a maximum of three at time.

They were actually weaker than what Wilhelm had initially anticipated. Unlike the annoying alligators in the past, they used no form of magic. Even if there were hundreds of them, a lot of garbage simply creates a larger pile of garbage. Ironically, their bodies were also forming a large heap of mass behind him as he moved forward.

After around fifteen minutes, Wilhelm looked down and breathed out a sigh of relief. It had only taken him around 20 minutes to kill a few hundred wolves.

"The scenario isn't so bad, rather, it's like a warm-up," he commented.

[The bodies will now disappear]

Right as the string of notifications appeared, the pile of bodies that Wilhelm had been sitting on disappeared. In replacement, a voice sounded out inside of his head.

Once again, the scenery began to change into something completely different. The night sky was replaced by a blue, cloud-filled sky. The tall trees and thick bushes were removed and a rocky plain appeared in its stead. Spacious cracks webbed the vast ground and a dry desert presented itself.

The blazing suns stinging rays of light gleamed onto Wilhelm's face as a deep sigh escaped from his mouth. The thing he hated the most was warm weather, it reminded him of the time he had been deployed. In fact, he preferred colder weather over the musky caves he had the unfortunate fate of living in for the past few months.

"Fuck the sun," Wilhelm mumbled.

While Wilhelm was busy cursing the very sun itself, a dozen oversized lizards began to break through the earth and flick out their long tongues. Their eyes twirled around and landed on Wilhelm, to which a glistening fireball formed on top of their tails.

Noticing a dozen lights flare-up in the distance, Wilhelm temporarily forgot his hatred for the sun and glanced to the left.

"Oh boy, flaming lizards that don't even grant me experience.. Sign me up!" Wilhelm said sarcastically while flipping his daggers around. He really, really, wanted to finish the scenario and escape the dungeon as quickly as possible. He had been far too long without real food and clothes.

Unfortunately, the lizards were the only things he could currently vent his frustrations out on.

Screams echoed out in the distance as Wilhelm wreaked havoc.
