Free Web NovelChapter 27: The Alpha Wolf
The frozen air of Frostheart pierced the skin like thousands of invisible needles. The massive castle gate slowly opened, and its heavy sound echoed throughout the area.
Outside...
More than twenty frost wolves were waiting. Their blue eyes shone in the snow, and cold steam came out of their mouths.
In the center of the pack, the alpha wolf stood. Bigger, scarier, and more dangerous than the rest. But for now, Lian’s gaze was on his status panel.
[Stat Points: 68]
He thought for a moment.
Then he made his decision.
[Strength: 78 --> 100]
He felt his muscles tighten, as if new force was flowing through his entire body.
But he did not stop. Then he spent 15 points to increase his resistance. He did not use more because the armor itself already increased his resistance enough.
[Resistance: 30 --> 45]
And finally, the remaining 31 points went to mana.

Suddenly, he felt the surroundings differently. As if for the first time, he could feel the presence of mana in the air. Invisible particles of energy were floating around him.
It was a strange feeling, but he had no chance to examine it.
"Can you handle half of them?"
"Of course. Faster than you." Seris drew the Frostfang sword from its sheath.
"I don’t think you can kill half of them faster than me." Lian chuckled. A moment later, both moved at the same time.
Explosion of snow, cracking of ice, and the beginning of a slaughter.
The first wolf jumped toward Lian. Its massive claws went straight for his neck. But Lian was faster.
His skill activated.
[Frost Claw Activated]
[Consumes 0.1 mana per moment]
Ice gathered on his fingers. Long, blue nails emerged from his hands.
And feeling that this might not be enough for these monsters, he used his other new innate skill to strengthen this skill.
Of course, his talent itself also made any frost-related skill automatically stronger.
[Ice Dominion]
In one motion, his hand passed by the wolf’s neck. The monster’s head spun in the air, and its body fell to the ground.

Lian’s eyes lit up. He had intentionally looked at the notifications to check if the title worked. And the title was indeed working.
The second and third wolves attacked almost at the same time. But Lian went straight between them.
His ice claws acted like real blades. One hit, and the second wolf’s stomach was torn open.
The next hit tore open the third wolf’s chest.
Hot blood sprayed on the white snow.

On the other side of the field, Seris was no less than a monster. The Frostfang sword danced in her hands.
Each hit equaled one death.
Each movement, a body cut in half. The wolves could not even get close to her.
In less than a few minutes, four corpses, six corpses, eight corpses lay on the ground.
Meanwhile, three more wolves attacked Lian. He did not dodge. He went straight toward them. The ice claws hit flesh and bone.
The sound of bones crushing echoed in the air.

Blood and pieces of flesh fell on the snow one after another. The battlefield had become an icy hell.
But the more he fought, the more Lian realized that these wolves were no longer a real threat.
He had become much stronger. Much faster. Much more dangerous.
Another wolf attacked from behind. Lian turned and thrust Frost Claw forward. The ice claws went through the monster’s chest.

A few minutes later, the last wolf in front of him also fell on the snow.
[Frostfang Wolf Level 14 Killed]

Lian took a deep breath. Ten wolves had been killed.
At that moment, the sound of the last monster falling came from the other side of the field. Seris shook her sword.
Blood fell from the blade. She had also killed exactly ten wolves. Now only one creature remained.
The alpha wolf.
A heavy silence took over the field. The wind howled through the ice buildings. The level fifteen monster slowly raised its head.
[Frostfang Alpha]
[Level: 15]
Its bright blue eyes locked onto Lian. Lian smiled.
"Finally." In an explosion of speed, he charged forward. The ground under his feet cracked. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the alpha.
Frost Claw went toward the monster’s neck.
This time, the attack hit. Icy blood sprayed in the air. The massive wolf was pushed back several meters.
Its claws dragged on the ground. Even Seris stopped for a moment.
A level fifteen creature had been pushed back by Lian’s hit.
But suddenly, all the wolf’s fur started to shine. Blue lightning appeared across its body.
The crackling sound of electricity echoed in the air. Lian frowned. A strong sense of danger! More than anything he had felt from the wolves until that moment.
"Damn it..."
The alpha wolf raised its head. All the lightning gathered toward its mouth. And then an explosion!
A column of electricity swept through the entire ice street. There was no chance to escape.
The hit struck Lian directly. The Frostguard armor shook, and several parts cracked. Blood sprayed from Lian’s mouth. His body shot back like a bullet.
Ten meters.
Twenty meters.
Thirty meters.
He went through the wall of one ice building, then hit a second building, and finally stopped in a pile of ice and stone.
His whole body was burning. All his bones hurt. For a few seconds, even breathing was hard.
But he was still alive. He slowly stood up from the rubble, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and fixed his gaze on the alpha wolf.
The monster was also staring at him. Lightning was gathering around its body again.
At that moment, Seris placed the Frostfang sword on her shoulder. Her gaze locked onto the massive monster.
"Finally, something worth killing." She said, with excitement shining in her eyes.
