Chapter 8: Strange Ruins
He remembered the two gold coins he had pilfered from the guard. He reached into his pocket and felt them. How would he get them into the system?
He tried willing them onto the system. He felt his hands get lighter before his interface appeared at the corner of his eyes; he didn't even look at it.
He turned to his back to see the alpha leap. This was the moment of truth; If the system took the two coins as repayment for the debt, he was screwed.
If it didn't; "purchase Knight strength boost."
He felt strength instantly fill him. The alpha suddenly seemed as slow as a snail.
His blade shot out, catching the alpha at the throat and instantly beheading it. The alpha's body tumbled to the ground, bleeding copiously.
Lucien's aura deflated as his strength boost ended. The two gold coins had bought him a precious two second surge in strength.
Before he could even celebrate his survival, the blood from the wolf was suddenly sucked in. Before Lucien could even process the change in circumstances , the ground suddenly caved in.
They fell.
