Chapter 209 - Flaming Wolf.
After the sound appeared, everyone was able to move again.
Isaac instantly looked towards the sky and saw a single bullet flying straight towards the blue sky!
The bullet looked simple, but it was oozing with power!
*BANG!*
Once the bullet reached a high enough altitude, it exploded, and the rain of millions of smaller bullets appeared!
*BOOM!*
*BAM!*
*BOOM!*
*KABOOM!*
*Ba-Thump!*
Isaac's heartbeat started racing as he watched the destruction, which was caused by a single bullet.
The places where the miniature bullets landed were soon lit in flames, and from the fire, Wolves appeared!
The wolves had fur that was on fire, and their claws were like blades!
*SWOOSH*
Soon, the claws also turned into flames, and the snow below them melted away instantly!
''AWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!'' Tens of thousands of howl's appeared, and everyone instantly understood that this was a power that was above mortal men!
Isaac looked towards the forest, which was surrounding the village.
He could see a cloud of smoke appearing from everywhere, even managed to see one coming from less than a hundred meters away!
''Awooooooooo!'' A wolf's howling came from the forest, and from there, a large four-limbed figure with flaming fur appeared.
''Grrr…'' The wolf that appeared was growling menacingly with saliva trickling down from the gaps of its sharp teeth.
Isaac quickly grabbed the musket rifle and aimed it towards the wolf.
*SWOOSH!*
The wolf leaped into the air and slashed with its flaming blade-like claws!
Isaac rolled on the ground to the side and heard the ground breaking not far from him.
Once the wolf landed on the ground, the snow melted away, and its massive body caused the earth to crack apart.
''Grrr!'' The wolf turned its large head towards Isaac and opened its massive jaw.
*SWOOSH*
Once again, the wolf lunged forwards, and this time, the sharp teeth were lit in flames!
The wolf took a large bite, which had enough strength to kill Isaac a dozen times over!
But, Isaac had already escaped far enough to dodge the deadly bite.
[Icy Shot Used!]
A layer of ice appeared on the barrel, and Isaac didn't wait any longer.
He fired!
*BAM!*
A muffled sound appeared; even though it sounded somewhat innocent, the strength it packed couldn't be underestimated!
The icy bullet struck the wolf in the head, but it soon melted away.
''Grrr!'' On the wolf's forehead, a bump appeared.
It dealt damage, but a very negligent amount.
The wolf was much angrier than before.
The wolf lowered its stance, and the tail moved back and forth.
Isaac aimed the musket rifle towards the wolf, who was preparing to launch its deadly attack.
*CRACK!*
The ground below the wolf cracked, and it lunged forwards!
The large shadow of the wolf overlapped Isaac's much shorter figure.
Human Vs. Beast.
The flaming claws started approaching Isaac's attractive face while his finger was squeezing the trigger.
*BANG!*
The bullet left the barrel and landed straight on the wolf's body.
Isaac quickly stepped to the side and watched as the flaming claw missed his body with a large margin.
The wolf crashed to the ground, and soon, the light on its menacing-looking eyes disappeared, and the flaming fur died down.
[You Killed Flaming Wolf!]
[2000 XP Earned!]
[LEVEL UP!]
[Level 36 -> Level 37]
''Haahh… Haahhh…'' Isaac breathed deeply and looked around the village, but no signs of another flaming wolf appearing.
He was about to leave the village and escape as far as possible, but then he remembered.
He, like every other Player, has a food problem!
Isaac had enough food to last several days, but LotusOfDeath destroyed his food!
''Maybe…'' He rubbed his chin and arrived next to the wolf.
For some reason, the wolf wasn't disappearing.
It was the same with players, they won't disappear instantly, but LotusOfDeath did because she was literally frozen!
The Real-Life Mode has a safety mechanism that if someone gets frostbite or were getting so cold that it might affect their mental health, they would be teleported away from the game.
Isaac got the kill and XP from it, but Real-Life Mode decided that she died by freezing, which made her avatar disappear as well.
It sucked because he couldn't get her bullets, but he thought he had enough to last till the end.
He crouched next to the dead wolf and touched its fur, which was still very warm!
*Rumble*
''Ahh…'' Isaac bit his lip after his stomach rumbled, and he wasn't sure whether he could concentrate properly without food.
He has gotten used to having his belly filled during his childhood and rarely has he felt this much hunger.
Maybe it was the first time.
It started distracting him, which was a bad sign.
With no choice left, he used the thin blade of the musket rifle and started gathering the meat.
He threw the organs, etc., away.
No matter how hungry he was, he won't eat those, no matter how desperate his situation was.
Soon, a few piles of fur and animal meat was next to him.
He wiped his sweat and started carrying them, but he thought that leaving the village like this was a suicide.
He tried his luck and went back to the largest building.
It was a difficult task to reach the top of the stairs, but he managed to do so after a minute.
*CRACK*
Isaac smashed the windows to pieces with his elbow and threw the meat and fur inside the building before climbing inside.
*Thud*
''Ouch!'' He accidentally landed on his butt, which caused a grunt of pain to escape his mouth, but the pain soon subdued, and he could concentrate on the task ahead.
Inside the building, he saw a table that had fallen down, but it seemed to be the only item that wasn't broken!
He turned it over and put it gently on the floor.
After that, he dumped the meat and the fur on top of it.
*CREAK*
The table creaked and shook after the sudden weight appeared, but it didn't break apart.
Isaac took a deep breath and was about to go back to the wolf because there might be something else left, but his steps soon came to a halt.
From the broken window, he could perfectly see towards the village's entrance, and the sight made him truly fearful.
One…
Two…
Five…
Ten…
He saw in total ten flaming wolves suddenly appearing!
They sniffed the air, and soon, they found the dead wolf.
''Awoooo!'' They started howling in anger and made sure to kill the person who killed one of their brothers!
