Chapter 26: The Alpha Wolf

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Awoo!”

A wolf’s howl resounded through the forest, scaring away the scattered birds on the branches.

“Oh no, force alone might not be enough.” Kyle did not blame the knight who caused the noise. No one had expected such an accident to happen. Their original plan of sneaking in to assassinate him had also failed.

“Five people in a team. Kill the forest wolf when it appears.” Kyle ordered calmly. Level-2 forest wolves had wind attribute attacks. Some of the stronger ones could also release wind blades, this was even more powerful than a normal level-2 monster’s combat strength.

Kyle took the lead and rushed in the direction of the forest wolf that had issued a warning howl. Then, a shrill whimper was heard. A forest wolf had been killed by him. The other knights also quickened their pace, they threw themselves into this massacre.

Su Chen, who was rushing on horseback, had already seen the battle from Lake Town.

His divine sense had been observing the battle situation in the omniscient map. It was like a real-time satellite image, which was constantly magnified by Su Chen.

However, Su Chen discovered a problem. This map was similar to the satellite image. When the Glimmer Knight entered the slightly dense forest, the omniscient map would also be blocked by the dense canopy, however, the knights that were blocked would be displayed in the form of small green dots. Forest Wolves, these hostile creatures, would be marked with red dots.

Every time a forest wolf was strangled or a twilight knight was defeated, the corresponding red and green dots would also disappear. 

Su Chen had been observing. The Twilight Knights led by Kyle were advancing into the depths of the forest step by step, leaving behind the corpses of forest wolves on the ground.

Occasionally, one or two strong forest wolves would suddenly attack with wind blades, splitting two or three Glimmer Knights before they were immediately killed by the other Glimmer Knights.

Just as he had expected yesterday, without the alpha, the Glimmer Knights could wipe out the ordinary wolves after losing a portion of their members. The reason why Su Chen had been watching the battle was to look for the alpha.

“I hope it’s just a level 2 alpha that hasn’t successfully evolved. Otherwise, it’ll be really difficult to deal with,” Su Chen muttered to himself.

Just as he thought of this, Su Chen saw a thick and bright red dot on the spiritual map. It was at least several times thicker than an ordinary forest wolf.

There was a green dot that was twice the size of a small green dot nearby. This should be Kyle.

“Oh no, could this be the level 3 alpha?” Just as Su Chen was feeling a little unlucky, the little green dots that surrounded the big red dot on the omniscient map began to disappear in large numbers.

Large swaths of tall trees were also being knocked down. They were about to fall down, but they were supported by tall trees beside them.

The bright green dot that represented Kyle was also moving around the big red dot. However, the omniscient map’s field of vision was blocked by the canopy, so it was impossible to see the current battle situation inside.

However, judging from the situation, this alpha was definitely level-3. Moreover, its combat strength was incredible!

Su Chen kept zooming in, trying to see the battle scene through the gaps in the dense canopy. Suddenly, he felt that this flashing red dot could be touched with divine sense!

Su Chen tried to touch it, and a large amount of information immediately appeared on the omniscient map.

[Alpha Wolf, level-3 wind-type monster. Wolfpack leader. ].

Skills:

* Wind blade burst 

* Wind blade strangle 

Gale force (increases one’s own agility)

Wolf pack leader (Aura)

Characteristics: high DPS, high intelligence. The older wolf king can even use strategies. Vengeful.

Weakness: Waist, low magic resistance. ]

It could even display a detailed description of the target!

Su Chen originally thought that this omniscient map could only display a real-time satellite aerial view, which was already very impressive. He did not expect that in the process of using it today, it could also mark the units of both enemies and allies. What made Su Chen even more surprised was that he could even display the skills and weaknesses of the enemy!

He immediately rushed back to the town without looking back.

This was because the alpha was too powerful. Its two skills specially marked by the system could instantly kill him.

The large circle of trees that disappeared just now should have been the wolf king unleashing wind blades. The large area of wind blades cut the glimmer knight into pieces, and also cut down a large area of trees.

Kyle was probably in a bad situation as well. He paid attention to the current situation on the spiritual map. The green and red dots were close to each other. They were probably fighting in close combat.

Su Chen could not help but feel a little scared.

Fortunately, he had made careful arrangements today. He had specially applied the scent-eliminating medicine from the hunter and made a big circle. If he had followed the alpha carelessly, he might have already died.

With the alpha’s vengeful nature, the town might really be in trouble.

Even if the town had a magic defense array and activated the overload defense mode, it would still need to consume 50 magic stones a day. The town only had a little over 100 magic stones now, so it would not last for more than four days in total.

By then, the town would be completely slaughtered by the alpha.

Su Chen could not help but feel a lingering fear in his heart. After all, he had never come into contact with a level-3 monster before.

Even though he felt that he had already given the alpha enough attention, the strength displayed by a level-3 alpha was not on the same level as what he had imagined the alpha’s combat strength to be.

“I wonder how Kyle will be able to fight against the alpha.”

As Su Chen’s thoughts reached this point, the big green dot on the map also disappeared.

The entire army had been annihilated! As expected, he could not underestimate the enemy!

Whether it was the attack from the saliva fish earlier or the complete annihilation of the Glimmer Knights, they were all constantly alerting Su Chen. Right now, he was still very weak, even though the system’s super strong reward had caused him to feel a little complacent and overconfident.

Su Chen was now completely awake. 

Now, he could only pray that the alpha would not discover his tracks and chase after him along with the tracks he had left behind.

How to kill the alpha would need more thinking..
