The wolf is strong.
If it were just an ordinary wolf, I could easily handle it with a surprise attack, but this wolf was different.
‘An average ranker wouldn’t even get a bone left.’
Its basic stats and power are excellent, but its situational judgment is also quite good.
If it were a regular wolf or monster, it would have disregarded the hammer and attacked me directly.
But this wolf didn’t do that.
[It’s breaking that]
[ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ]
[Isn’t that painful on the teeth?]
[Pot failure!]
[ㄲㅂ]
[I was having fun catching moles ㄲㅂ]
[Wow, it dodged that?]
[Wolf kingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
“Interesting.”
I nodded while looking at the shattered hammer.
It’s a strong opponent.
Of course, if I had met the wolf before my power was sealed, it would’ve just been a cute doggie, but now I’m in the situation of being a raccoon.
The raccoon that was going through this trial probably couldn’t have beaten the wolf.
‘With these specs, not a chance. Judging by the past story, it probably didn’t have any special knowledge or powers.’
Maybe it just surrendered some chickens to the wolf?
If not, it could have prepared traps to lure and deal with the wolves.
“It seems unlikely to work, though.”
Krrr…
That wolf’s blue fur reads ‘traces.’
I pulled out the crude spear I had prepared in advance.
Crackle…!
I could create a spear using the granted ‘lightning,’ but it’s better to have a base like this to conserve the little strength I have.
As the yellow lightning seeped into the spear, the wolf’s wary gaze changed.
Whoooooosh~
The wind is blowing.
[Is it time to get serious?]
[Is the spear’s roar coming?]
[Oh]
[After all, it’s spear if it’s Lily]
[No more using the hammer?]
[Catching doggieㄱㄱㄱㄱ]
[Let’s go for the spear fight~]
“I’m not going to use any techniques.”
Since my body is too weak to use techniques like the Celestial Race’s spear roar, using such a technique while shaking would be quite something.
Kaaaah!!
Above all, the spear doesn’t only have to be about destructive techniques.
I straightened my posture like in the old days and waited for the enemy to approach.
‘How the weak face the strong.’
“First…”
Zzzak!!
“One hit.”
■
‘?!!!’
Buron, who got hit on the nose, was greatly startled and stepped back.
He was greatly flustered and stepped back.
Seeing the raccoon pull out a new weapon, Buron became vigilant.
A stick that unleashed yellow thunder, huh?
Buron was somewhat familiar with the characteristics of the spear, similar to the one the monkeys wielded.
“A weapon with long range and capable of rapid transitions.”
It could be used in much more diverse ways compared to the blunt weapon he had used earlier, but there was a significant difference in weight class.
No matter how long the spear was used, it couldn’t compare to the range of the wolf and raccoon.
Buron swiftly approached the raccoon over the spear, as if riding the wind…
Boom!
“…Got hit.”
The spear moved like lightning just before its teeth closed, striking Buron’s nose hard.
It struck with a blade but not on the sharp side, rather on the flat side.
In other words, it was struck by laying the spear down.
“Was that a coincidence…? Why didn’t it attack with the sharp side?”
It didn’t make sense.
Why did it end with merely brushing him aside when there was an opportunity to attack?
Buron didn’t understand, but the raccoon was still holding its ground.
Buron charged again.
This time, he would use a trick.
Thunk!
“!”
“If I attack from the blind spot… huh?!”
Swish!! Thwack!
The spear, which had clearly been aimed in front, suddenly struck Buron’s side from behind.
Buron screamed and urgently pulled back, while the raccoon silently observed him.
“……”
The raccoon stared intently at Buron with the spear held upright.
Buron didn’t comprehend the previous exchange of blows.
“Teleportation? Position change? What on earth is going on?”
Why did the spear that was in front suddenly appear behind him?
It could be thought of as a power like ‘blue fur,’ but it didn’t seem to have any indicators.
It was as if the spear had always been in that spot, striking him sideways.
Two attacks allowed.
Yet, the injuries weren’t that severe.
The lightning embedded in the spear seeped in, but it wasn’t enough to pierce through the ‘blue fur.’
“This is…”
“Looks like a weapon technique?”
The raccoon rested the spear on its shoulder.
“I initially learned defense. Attack is important too, but traditionally, a spear is a weapon capable of both attack and defense.”
‘……’
It’s dangerous.
“This is hard to categorize as a technique. It’s really ‘fundamentals.’ Of course, if you hone the basics, it can become a technique…”
The opponent wasn’t just a strong individual with a bit of power.
“I used this often in the early days of my return. Oh, right. I used this when I first battled Miss Yena too. Ah, that’s such a nostalgic memory.”
“Oh, that’s right. I used it when I first faced Miss Yena. Ah, what a nostalgic moment.”
“I’m very skilled in ‘battle.'”
“More skilled than myself, who has lived a life of continuous struggle and combat.”
“Why don’t I use it often now? Well, it’s a technique that works well against relatively weaker opponents. If you’re strong, it’s better to just take the hit and endure rather than dodging…”
Krrrk…
“Strong. But weak.”
“Lacking in power, but capable of handling it.”
After giving instructions to the remaining wolves, Buron fully unleashed his ‘blue fur.’
Whoosh!!
“!”
Buron, who had transformed completely into a blue wolf with no trace of the golden part.
In this state, he could hardly last three minutes but could exert nearly three times the usual strength.
“Break through. In one shot.”
That strange spear couldn’t withstand the added strength, no doubt about it.
Even if an attack came, as long as the damage wasn’t that severe, just take it and endure!
Boom!
A rock beneath him exploded.
The spear’s blade struck Buron’s back as he charged, but he gritted his teeth and endured.
“Enduring!”
Somehow, it felt like he had become stronger. Although his back buzzed, the effort was worth it.
“Of course, being strong means it’s fine to take a hit! …But having that mindset is nice too.”
Crack.
As the raccoon’s hand touched his teeth, he could taste blood.
The raccoon frowned.
Just a little more forward, and it would be whole…
“Ultimately, not getting hit is the best option.”
Twitch…!
It’s igniting.
The current embedded in his back bloomed like a flower, and feeling a sense of crisis, Buron lunged even harder to bite down on the raccoon.
It was already too late to dodge like before.
His judgment was spot on, but it was already delayed.
Rumble…
“We could shake hands, you know.”
Crash!!!
A streak of lightning struck toward its target.
■
The raccoon, or raccoon.
This race, sometimes referred to as the tribe of Huang Cheng, is a race that has gained power from at least the Eight Seats or the Six Demon Kings.
Only by breaking through trials can they acquire the overwhelming power that the managers displayed, but they weren’t completely without any power right now.
“I do have the power of lightning. No ring above my head, though.”
Even if it wasn’t the lightning used by the Administrator raccoons, he could still handle minor lightning.
Among them was a technique that could generate much stronger lightning if certain conditions were met.
While defending, I lured the wolf’s carelessness and prepared the various conditions needed to use ‘Lightning Strike.’
“Conditions have been met.”
“One of them is the ‘stack’. Continuously layering the current on the body to induce a larger lightning.”
I poked the fainted wolf, Buron, with my tongue sticking out.
Buron’s judgment had been pretty good until he faced the hammer, but after taking a spear that didn’t hurt much, he started to think differently.
“I should be able to endure this, right?”
Of course, he held on as expected, but ultimately, that became Buron’s downfall.
Although he had completely burned and turned into a black wolf, his ‘blue fur’ nobly held its ground.
By the way, I learned the name Buron through the system message.
[The raid ‘day’ has ended.]
[There was an attack by the wolves, but no one died.]
[Bonus! Three additional chicken feeds have been provided.]
[Current chicken feed – 30.]
[‘Buron’ has neutralized all the Golden Blue Wolf pack.]
[Blocked areas are unlocked.]
Woooom…!
I felt a sensation as if something was opening.
Somewhere in the East.
The terrain that had been blocked by a transparent curtain revealed itself.
[Oh]
[Is the wolf finally done?]
[That was a slog~]
[Seems like we have enough feed now? LOL]
[That was a bit tough, LOL]
[What else is coming?]
[God?]
[Are angels and demons gonna pop out now, LOL?]
“Well… I don’t think I’d want a battle beyond this.”
Honestly, the wolves were absurdly difficult.
If I hadn’t led them into a false sense of security and strategically layered lightning and traps without paying attention to the sky’s flow, I wouldn’t have been able to beat the wolves.
No matter how much a trial it is, they wouldn’t give an impossible mission.
“It’s a two-star challenge, after all.”
So, I spent the second day making more feed with the powers extracted from the wolves.
Since all the wolves were neutralized, there was no raid on the night of the second day.
And on the third day.
“I have come to deliver some good news.”
Monkeys with backpacks arrived at the farm.
[The Golden Blue Monkey suggests a ‘deal.’]
[If the ‘deal’ is not made, you must pay for the farm’s chickens by 1/3 as a travel expense.]
