Chapter 108: Fenris (1)
Adrian fearlessly charged towards the beast, who wasted no time replying in kind. Everyone who saw Adrian’s attack couldn’t help but question his sanity, wondering if the head injury he suffered turned him into a moron. Who, in their right mind, would dare to challenge the Commander Wolf head-on?
"Don’t fight him at such close range!" Suhi yelled, but Adrian ignored his cries.
The next moment, Adrian and the wolf collided, and a cloud of dust erupted, covering them. The tribals didn’t need a clear vision to know who had won. There was no chance Adrian would have done any damage to the beast like that.
However, they were in for a shock when they heard the wolf groaning. One of Adrian’s shoulders was bent out of shape, but the wolf had suffered most of the damage and kept whimpering.
"Impossible..." Skaha mumbled when he realised what happened.
Instead of facing the beast head first, Adrian fooled the creature before striking her with Ahuli’s staff from the underside, which was the beast’s weakest point. He must have slid under the beast when she leapt to attack Adrian and hit her with a staff in the chest.
Everyone was in awe, but there were none more surprised than Ahuli, who couldn’t believe his eyes. Milka could have been strong, but fearlessly attacking the wolf and not being affected by it was weird.
’Did I underestimate the kid?’ Ahuli thought as Adrian popped his shoulder back in place as if it was nothing special.
But in truth, Adrian had been lucky. His injuries would have been much worse without the [Nemean blessing]. Now that the effect was on cooldown, he knew he had to end the fight quickly.
