Primordial Expanse: I have the Strongest Talent! - Chapter 337

Chapter 337: Nicholas (2)
This howl sounded different from those of the wolves they had killed earlier.

It sounded deeper… more powerful.

“Aowuuuu!”

More wolf calls sounded, each one carrying a more sinister and malicious tone than the previous.

All of a sudden, deep yellow eyes appeared all around the duo, surrounding them from all sides.

“More wolves!”

Mira and Nicholas realised in that moment that they were being ambushed by yet another wolf pack.

But something about this new wolf pack seemed different from the one they had fought previously…

“Dire wolves!”

A shout came from Nicholas who sounded both surprised and afraid at the same time.

He had heard of dire wolves before, though this was his first time ever encountering them himself.

But everything he had heard about them only served to make him even more nervous and afraid.

Mira didn’t quite have the same knowledge of different beast archetypes as Nicholas, but from his reaction, she could tell that something wasn’t good about this new pack.

Just the name ‘Dire wolves’ alone had a more menacing touch to it.

‘These wolves before us seem to be three times bigger than the previous ones we encountered a few earlier in the day!’

Mira was startled when the dire wolves came out of the shadows and revealed their full forms.

Each one of them were 10 metre tall behemoths, and there were 5 of them.

Even more terrifying to Mira was the fact that each of their aura’s were unleashed at full force, and she could feel that all five of them were Variant class beasts!

‘Fuck…’

At that moment, Mira began to feel the same as Nicholas.

Now she realised why he had reacted so scared when he first recognised them.

The entire campground the duo had set up had an eerie feel to it as both sides continued to stand still and stare at each other.

They were clearly waiting to see who would make the first move.

Fwooom!

But not wanting to create some sort of disadvantage for themselves, Mira activated her Golden Presence talent right off the bat!

She knew she wouldn’t be able to properly put up a good fight if she didn’t use all of her cards from the beginning.

She couldn’t afford to try and be sneaky and hide this trump card from Nicholas or anything like that.

Besides, they were both in the same boat, Nicholas would also have to reveal any sort of hidden cards like Mira did!

Mira’s blade once again was forced into action, as she utilised her full potential to draw out as much power from her body as she could.

Her blade pierced towards the closest dire wolf to her, and the air pressure caused by her exertion of power was enough to send a small air blast forwards before the blade even reached the beast itself.

This air blast hit the dire wolf right on the nose, stunning it a little bit as such a thing was unexpected, even on Mira’s side.

But sensing an opportunity, Mira took this chance to slice forwards at the dire wolf, aiming to strike the same spot near the spine as she did with the last Variant class wolf she had killed.

However, she wasn’t up against an ordinary wolf anymore…

This wolf was much more fierce and powerful than the Alpha she had killed, and it woke up from its stunned state nearly immediately, and managed to side step just moments before Mira’s blade would have pierced its spine.

Yelp!

But while it had saved itself from meeting the same fate as the Alpha wolf from before, it still took significant damage as Mira’s blade struck its hind leg, sending it limping backwards.

Her attack only left a flesh wound around an inch deep though, so the dire wolf was still very much able to fight!

And there were four others who were still in perfect condition able to back it up…

Yelp!

“…”

Three others who were in perfect condition to back the now two injured wolves up.

Nicholas had taken the opportunity, using Mira’s attack as a distraction to the wolves whole he conjured up a lightning bolt from his lightning elemental talent, and struck one of the dire wolves who seemed most unaware of his incoming attack.

His bolt of lightning struck its tail, searing the hair right off and leaving a charred piece of meat left behind.

But the tail was the worst possible place he could have struck, as the dire wolf still had its four limbs, not to mention the clearly very sharp fangs in its mouth to work with.

If anything, his attack had only made the dire wolf angrier, while Mira’s had actually dealt useful damage.

‘Most of the pressure is being bore by Mira, as she is clearly stronger than me, especially with this new Super something something transformation. If I go and try to bite off more than I can chew against these wolves, it would be suicide.’

‘Anyways, the dire wolf Mira just injured will be the easiest target for now. We should focus on killing that first.’

Nicholas had his own thoughts on this sudden ambush, but after seeing Mira’s sudden hidden card being revealed, his confidence in being able to survive grew.

“Let’s aim to kill that injured one first!”

He shouted to Mira, garnering her attention as he relayed his plan in one short sentence to her.

Basically, they should kill the injured one as quickly as possible so the number of attackers would be brought down to four.

Ideally, they should do this while exerting as little energy as possible, as they didn’t want to be too worn out to fight and kill the other four!

The blade in Mira’s hands hacked downwards, aiming for the dire wolf with the injured hind leg, taking a silver arc with it.

As it slashed towards the ground, Mira’s body twisted, and strength was exerted from her entire body, reinforcing the powerful attack she was delivering.

With the momentum she had built up, the injured dire wolf would surely not be able to dodge her attack in time, especially with only three working legs to deal with!
