Chapter 39: Offering and betrayal
Slash.
Hex was fighting against a pack of wolves. Their numbers were great but not even half of the pack was at the demonic stage.
The primary goal of Hex wasn't their crystals. He wouldn't waste them but he was more interested in the hidden cave that served as their nest.
Especially since the nest was located perfectly to mount an ambush. He was certain someone would attack him. They had failed to find the corpses of the traitorous Squires.
They had agreed to act as if nothing had changed. They would continue to scour the surroundings for beasts and treasured herbs.
In search of herbs, Hex had stumbled upon a crevice.
He had been exploring a crevice nearby where he discovered the roots of a plant he believed to be a hundred year old plant bearing dark berries.
If he could get his hands on them, he would easily gain a few hundred points. Killing a few demonic stage wolves in the process wasn't too hard for someone with his strength.
Killing the 'normal' demonic stage wolves didn't require him to activate his glyph. That might change when he fought the alpha though.
The alpha was about two meters high and stared at his figure from atop a boulder. Its murderous intent hung heavy in the air. It was almost tangible.
Right when Hex reached the final row of the pack the alpha howled loudly. It was clearly incensed by the puny human intruding his domain and killing its pack.
