Chapter 125: The new chief
Awoo!
The enraged howl of the alpha reverberated through the hollow caverns. It caused the pack of shadow wolves to go berserk.
Clang.
Their fangs and claws scratched Hex’s cloak but failed to damage it. Hex slashed his sword around, killing demon-stage beasts with ease.
Amidst the hundreds of beasts, he moved like a grim reaper, harvesting lives with each swing.
His mastery over the bearhanded sword technique had improved significantly in these past few months. Each cut was clean. His attacks flowed into each other seamlessly.
Noticing Hex close in at a breathtaking speed, the alpha retreated. With another howl, it started to run away.
But Hex couldn’t let a fiend-stage alpha get away. The weakened town wouldn’t be able to handle it if such large packs attacked.
Flex Step!
Hex jumped out of the densely packed area and stepped into the air. He took another step, flying straight to the escaping wolf. The shadow wolves were fast but Hex was faster. Just when it reached the cavern’s exit, Hex was above it. With a downward slash, he beheaded the beast.
’For demon-stage beasts, I need about five percent of my power, but fiend-stage still takes thirty to fifty percent to behead in one move.’
