Chapter 19: The Hero Arrives!
The next morning.
What Lin Yu didn’t expect was—
A hero really showed up!
And not just one, but a whole group of them!
Although, it is a bit unfortunate that the heroes who appeared are neither princes nor a princesses.
It is the same group of Granville Wolves from before.
The lead wolf brought the pack back into the stone cave. They came to take revenge on the Long-Toothed Grizzly Bear.
She noticed that during the time they were gone, the wolf pack had changed quite a bit. The first thing was their numbers.
They had lost one Granville Wolf in the battle with the Long-Toothed Grizzly Bear, but now there were eleven of them!
Did they recruit new members?
It also looked like the lead wolf was taller than before, and had gained more scars.
Even with these changes, Lin Yu was not very hopeful about the wolf pack.
This was because they weren’t the only ones who grew.
The Long-Toothed Grizzly Bear had grown too.
After killing ten Weak Ants and eating the “tapir” it quickly leveled up, having reached the experience threshold.
No one knows what kind of luck this is, but its upgrade gift turned out to be a new skill.
The skill is called “Attack Enhancement.”
This skill seems similar to the “Defense Enhancement” Skill it possesses; a passive skill that boosts attack power.
With this new skill, the strength of the long-toothed brown bear has changed. Currently:
/ Attribute: Strength 5 (+1)
Having 5 points of strength is already terrifying, and gaining “Attack Enhancement” added one more.
However, after identifying the wolf pack again, Lin Yu, who was already surprised, suddenly felt that the wolves still had a chance.
The ten Granville Wolves, setting aside the lead wolf, may not be ranked, but their levels are now LV.10, while the lead wolf has advanced to Class D, and its current level is LV.3.
Compared to last time, the lead wolf’s strength has increased by 1 point, and its Magic Value Limit has increased by 5 points. Additionally, just like the long-toothed brown bear, it gained a new skill.
That skill is called “Leadership.”
Because the skill “Identification” cannot determine the effects of the opponent’s skills, Lin Yu is unsure how much power this “Leadership” skill truly holds.
While Lin Yu was identifying them, the two sides began to fight.
The Long-Toothed Grizzly bear seemed very hungry, It’s eyes bloodshot, likely because it had been watching the ant hole and not going outside for days.
It charged forward with a powerful strike.
Perhaps due to its increased strength, the bear’s paw was explosive as it struck out at one of the Granville Wolves.
Although it tried hard to dodge, the bear’s paw still crashed down on the wolf’s left front leg.
Crack—
Accompanied by that sound, the Granville Wolf was sent flying, then slid on the ground. When it barely stood up, its left front leg dangled as if it were broken.
/ Health Value 85/130
Maybe it is because it only hit the front leg, but that Granville Wolf did not suddenly die like the wolf from last time.
“Awooo!!”
Perhaps sensing that the Long-Toothed Grizzly Bear had also become stronger, the leader wolf shouted at the other Granville Wolves.
After that the pack of wolves, which had been eager to move, suddenly scattered and started circling around the Long-Toothed Grizzly Bear, watching it closely.
After that howl all the Granville Wolves seemed to become stronger and sturdier, and their eyes looked different.
Through the skill “Identification”, Lin Yu discovered changes in the Attribute Panel of the Granville Wolves, not including the leader wolf.
——
Name: None
Race: Granville Wolf
Qualification: D
Class: None
Level: LV.10
Health Points: 130 (+10)/130 (+10)
Magic Points: 20 (+5)/20 (+5)
Skill, “Bite”
Attribute: Strength 1 (+1)
Agility 1 (+1)
Intelligence 1 (+1)
Physical Resistance Ability 0 (+1)
Elemental Magic Resistance Ability 0 (+1)
Abnormal State Resistance Ability 0 (+1)
——
Did all their attributes increase?
Is this for real? This feels like cheating!
If I could have this skill too, the Weak Ants’ strength would not…
The “Leadership” Skill, I’ll remember you!
…
With the skill “Leadership,” these ten Granville Wolves are currently almost as strong as the lead wolf.
Lin Yu thinks that maybe just two Granville Wolves could defeat the lead wolf.
However, the “Leadership” skill is an active skill that uses Magic Value, and Lin Yu suspects that it continuously uses Magic Value while it is in effect.
After all, the current Magic Value of the lead wolf is: 44/45.
If it only takes 1 point of Magic Value to gain such a big boost, that would really be cheating!
Ah, the Magic Value has decreased.
Just as Lin Yu was thinking this, she saw the lead wolf’s Magic Value drop by 1 point again.
Just as she thought! And the decrease is happening quite fast; at this rate, the lead wolf’s Magic Value could be completely used up in just a few minutes.
Since Lin Yu could understand, the lead wolf naturally understood this too.
However, it still ordered the pack of wolves to surround the Long-Toothed Grizzly Bear and wait for the bear attack first.
With their improved abilities, the pack of wolves could now just barely dodge the Long-Toothed Grizzly Bear’s attacks.
The Long-Toothed Grizzly Bear attacked a few times and after a while, its movements started to become somewhat sluggish.
“Awoo!!!”
The lead wolf suddenly let out a furious howl, and all the wolves stopped circling the bear.
They could now begin their fierce attack.
Every time, three to four wolves would launch an attack.
The attacks came round after round, without pause.
They focused on the Long-Toothed Grizzly Bear’s belly, which was covered with less fur, and launched their attacks there, as the defense was weaker.
However even though it’s defenses were weakened, they could easily bite through. Only when they used the skill “Bite” could they injure the bear.
Each time they used “Bite,” it would cost them 5 points of Magic Value.
In other words, each wolf could only make 5 effective attacks on the brown bear.
The battle was much fiercer than the last time.
Every Granville Wolf bravely charged forward to bite the Long-Toothed Grizzly Bear, and almost every attack drew blood or even tore flesh.
The Long-Toothed Grizzly Bear, injured and angry, became more even fiercer. If the wolf pack continued to dodge as they had before, it couldn’t do anything to them.
However, the wolves’ fearless attacks, while causing damage, also gave the bear a chance to finally counterattack.
The Long-Toothed Grizzly Bear close-range counterattacks were something the wolves could not completely avoid.
Each Granville Wolf struck by the bear’s paw would be unable to stand for a while. Those in better shape would only lose a little Health Value, while others were seriously injured or lost a large amount of their Health Value falling to the ground.
The fallen Granville Wolves had almost used up all their Magic Value. They had given it their all.
Soon after, the lead wolf canceled the “leadership” effect of the fallen Granville Wolves to reduce the Magic Value consumption.
The number of fighting wolves continues to decrease.
The Long-Toothed Grizzly Bear has gained more and more wounds on its body, and its abdomen has been torn open with a large gash. The area around its mouth looks terrible, with blood continuously flowing out.
…
Wow… that looks so painful…
Lin Yu was somewhat shocked by the battle between both of the sides in front of her.
Although she wanted to say “well done,” you are being too crazy, attacking even that place…
Such a bloody and brutal battle was something she had never seen with her own eyes.
This further strengthened her principle of “never fighting the enemy up close.”
