”I thought my next attack contains triple effect of the shockwave, but nothing happened” Alex shouted as he rilled backward.

*Growl*

‘Why didn’t the shockwave work, it worked against the skeleton…in the case of the skeleton I used my fists, how am I supposed to use my fists against a wolf’

The wolf didn’t care about the other players anymore as it stared at Alex, since its shockwave attack didn’t work, the wolf was going for a physical attack.

‘Shit…shit this is bad, I can’t compare my speed with the speed of the wolf…wait other players’ Alex thought as he turned around.

The players on the other side of the arena didn’t care about the wolf at all, they were all busy slaughtering smaller wolves and boar who stood no chance against them.

Immediately Alex dashed towards them, he knew the wolf would catch up with him but he had no other choice, none of the other players were going to assist him in fighting the wolf after seeing what it did to one of the players.

Most of them were already severely injured and their HP was nearly depleted after the wolf turned their attacks against them.

The wolf immediately took chase as Alex ran towards the other players, the wolf was interested in Alex as he could withstand its shockwave, and after surviving and successfully killing all the wolves in its cage, he saw Alex as a worthy opponent.

Alex heard loud thuds and turned around to see where the wolf was but it was already too late, the wolf was already behind him and swung his claws in an attempt to shred Alex to pieces.

“Down you slow poke” a voice spoke directly in Alex’s ears and he felt himself going down, his reaction speed was so great that even Alex crashed into the sand.

The wolf was already in motion and couldn’t stop itself from going forward, its claws swiped past him and the shockwave affected the players and beasts at the other end of the arena.

“What just happened…I blinked for a second and missed all the action, unbelievable” the man shouted as the crowd was now cheering for Alex, all their focus was on Alex after that amazing feat.

“Woah woah…what just happened, I definitely heard a voice in my head then my body moved on its own” Alex mumbled as he stood up, the wolf was now pissed as it gritted its teeth and growling sounds escaped from its mouth.

“I’m not sure what happened but my plan totally failed, I was trying to get close to the other side so I can take off my cloak and mask, but now the wolf is blocking my path”

Alex looked back and saw the other players, they were trying to run away from the sight of the wolf by going around the arena, as the wolf’s focus was on Alex they were going to exploit it.

“I can defeat this wolf, I just need to pull some amazing moves as I did just now” Alex narrowed his gaze, and this time he charged toward the wolf.

As he charged forward he felt a burning pain in his but that didn’t stop him.

The wolf leaped backward a little and swung its hand toward Alex.

‘Shit I forgot about this’ Alex muttered as he tried to stop.

“You can also use the energy you absorb for defense” the voice spoke confusing Alex once again, and before he could react.

*Boom*

The shockwave from the attack hit him and sent him flying, but the wolf wasn’t satisfied as it ran towards Alex at top speed, even the crowd couldn’t keep up and before Alex could land on the ground the wolf was already ready with its claws raised upwards to slam Alex to the ground.

Alex lost his balance as the shockwave hit, his head was still spinning as he flew backward but suddenly a large shadow covered him and then he knew he was done for, he was in midair so he couldn’t move his limbs to dodge or block even if he wanted to.

‘Well I traded 5 levels for a chance at 1M blue coins’ Alex thought as the wolf slammed him into the ground.

“Push back, why are your eyes closed” the voice spoke again and Alex opened his eyes.

[-50HP]

A large furry hand covered him but both of his hands were up trying to push the wolf away, he quickly added his strength and pushed the wolf’s hand away.

“Well that’s all for the…what!!! h-how how is he able to survive that,” the man who thought Alex was dead shouted.

Alex unbelievably survived the wolf’s attack and stood up, but he wasn’t unscathed, his cloak was partially torn but at least he survived.

His HP was down by 50 after that powerful attack, even though he was able to push back for some reason, it doesn’t change the fact that the wolf was way stronger than him in terms of strength.

The size of the beast and its razor-sharp fangs were already enough to scare a person away, if this was real and Alex could actually die, he would have run away instead of fighting.

The wolf moved backward and created space between them, and for some reason, the wolf was getting tired, the breathing of the wolf became ragged and it was blinking its eyes repeatedly as if trying to get rid of sleep.

“What’s wrong with the wolf, and besides who are you” Alex mumbled, “You talking in my ear, who are you?”

“It’s me, and you need to act fast, I don’t know what’s wrong but the wolf is losing strength, now is your chance” the voice spoke.

The voice was indeed correct, Alex couldn’t feel the wolf struggling to even stand on its feet, none of the players were going after the wolf and more than half of them had already qualified so no one was coming after the wolf.

[Inventory]

Alex opened his inventory and pulled out his second dagger, even though it was breaking apart Alex could still use it for an attack.

Alex ran towards the wolf and it confirmed his suspicions, the wolf didn’t take any action to stop Alex, it was more like the wolf couldn’t, the wolf’s body was shrinking.

“The heaven seems to be on my side today” Alex shouted as he reached where the wolf was.

Immediately the wolf raised its claws to attack but its attack was also laughable, even a player playing for the first time without increasing his agility could dodge the attack, Alex sidestepped and sunk both of his steel daggers in the neck of the wolf.

[-40HP]

[-30 HP]

Alex was determined to kill the wolf even if it involves stabbing it countless times, but after the first attack, the wolf fell to the ground.

Alex saw different notifications and finally, he leveled up, the wolf on the ground was slowly disintegrating as Alex breathe heavily, both of his daggers were broken in half and he threw the other part away.

The crowd’s cheering was ear-deafening, if Alex wasn’t in the arena they would have carried him around, even the commentator who was pitching in couldn’t speak as he was surprised, he knew all evolved beasts were advanced tier that most adventurers would struggle with, but with two daggers Alex took down the beast.

Even though wolves were the lowest grade of advanced tier beast, one hit wasn’t enough to take it down.

The wolf finally disintegrated and Alex saw his demon blade on the ground, he remembered he couldn’t remove the blade and it was stuck in the body of the wolf, Alex rushed over and picked up his blade because both of his weapons were gone.

[Blood absorbed 69%]

“Huh!!!” Alex’s mouth opened wide as he saw the notification.
