[Wolf Strike]
[Flies far away due to a strong impact.]
Boom-!
Hyun-soo flew through the air.
Above the sky, he saw Belia, terrified, as he tumbled.
Belia was genuinely afraid in this game.
She had collapsed in fear at the sight of the ferocious ash-colored wolf, over 4 meters tall.
Hyun-soo’s grip tightened.
‘What should I do?’
It’s too late to run towards the ash-colored wolf after flying about 20 meters.
‘Should I shoot an arrow?’
He couldn’t hit it.
Ares was a realistic game, so Hyun-soo, spinning in the air, would feel severe dizziness.
The image of Belia, limp with her neck bitten by the ash-colored wolf, flashed by.
Though their time together was short, she was a good person and a new connection for Hyun-soo.
Flash-
Hyun-soo’s eyes, dizzy, snapped open.
‘I just need to exert a power that hits without fail.’
Memories from his childhood came flooding back.
It was when his blacksmithing skills were developing.
Hyun-soo was no different from other students.
He liked weapons of legend or myth.
What was a bit special was that Hyun-soo could recreate what he had once heard about in his school days.
[Initiating Divine Emergency creation.]
He drew designs of dozens of weapons and tried to recreate them through various books.
Among them, Gungnir, said to be made by Odin, was crafted with utmost dedication.
Just like a child engrossed in Lego.
[Your experience is astonishing.]
[Your understanding is exceptional.]
[Effect application rate increases by 8%.]
[Effect application rate increases by 9%.]
He remembered creating it, discarding it dozens of times, and thinking it over many times more.
Thus, it was all too easy for him.
[Effect application rate is 77%.]
[Unique grade.]
Whoosh-
He slid on the ground, reaching out his hand.
The spear, seemingly adorned in gold, was indeed the Gungnir of myths.
[Status effect dizziness activated.]
[It’s difficult to maintain balance.]
Hyun-soo shifted his weight to his back legs.
He clenched his teeth.
The distance between him and the creature was about 60 meters.
The moment it left his hand, Gungnir accelerated.
(Gungnir)
Grade: Unique
Durability: 4,000/4,000
Attack Power: 289
Restrictions: None for the creator, 100~200 level
Special Abilities:
· Strength increases by 1%, stamina by 1.2%
· Active skill: Gungnir’s Sure Strike.
· Active skill: Freestyle.
Description: A spear born from emergency creation, surpassing a 70% effect application rate due to the creator’s outstanding experience and knowledge.
Hitting an enemy located about 60 meters away with a thrown spear is practically impossible.
But the spear thrown by Hyun-soo was the spear held by the chief god, Odin.
[Gungnir’s Sure Strike]
[Hits any enemy within a 100m radius without fail,
with an additional 330% attack power increase.]
It doesn’t miss.
Crackle-
The spear, with a giant spark accelerating, laughed at the ash-colored wolf as it jumped into the air, attempting to dodge the trajectory.
However, Gungnir twisted its path and soared into the sky.
“Aaah!”
Belia fell to the ground, and the large yellow eyes of the ash-colored wolf widened.
But soon, the ash-colored wolf was reassured.
It was merely a king of the insignificant land of the wolf sanctuary.
However, long ago. As the third offspring of Fenrir, it had once shown ferocity.
Although significantly weakened now, among those who had entered this sanctuary, none had been able to scratch its thick hide.
No weapon had been able to cut through it.
No weapon had ever penetrated it.
Yes, the ash-colored wolf was never meant to be hunted here in the first place.
Whooosh-!
But the moment that spear pierced its abdomen, the ash-colored wolf felt a pain it had never experienced in its life.
Rumble-
“Aaaargh!”
An involuntary howl escapes from its mouth.
The force of the spear lodged in its abdomen pushed it forward.
Soon, the spear, with the ash-colored wolf impaled on it like a skewer, embedded itself in a tree.
Boom-!
“Aaaargh, Aaaargh!!”
The ash-colored wolf, impaled by the spear and hanging from the tree, struggled wildly.
Then, the spear was automatically pulled out, and the ash-colored wolf fell to the ground.
Thud-
The ash-colored wolf staggered to its feet.
To think it received such damage from that creature?
It saw him charging with a sword in hand, performing an inexplicable action.
He spread the index finger of his left hand and quickly moved it from top to bottom.
“……?”
The ash-colored wolf was puzzled. It looked up without realizing it.
[Freestyle]
[You can control Gungnir freely, even if you’re not holding it.]
The spear that had been pulled out of the tree was now shooting towards its body.
Zoom-
Rolling on its feet, the ash-colored wolf dodged and rushed towards Hyun-soo like a flash of lightning.
A leopard can run 100m in 3.2 seconds, reaching speeds of up to 110km/h.
The ash-colored wolf, several times larger than a leopard, can run 100m in 2 seconds, reaching speeds of up to 150km/h.
With each stride, the ground crumbled, and it quickly closed the distance to the man.
The man sheathed his sword and drew an unidentified bow.
“Growl-!”
[Ashen Howl]
[All prey within a 30m radius is torn to shreds by the wolves.]
The man’s body was struck dozens of times by the strong front paws of the wolf.
His seemingly sturdy armor was crushed, his balance wavered, and a scream escaped his lips.
Suddenly, within a distance of 20m.
The staggering man, despite being injured, slowly pulled back the bowstring.
Click-
Whoosh-
It wasn’t careless.
Knowing he was a formidable opponent beyond it’s expectations.
Whoosh-
Choosing to break through, it saw the arrow being deflected and thought it could bite the man’s neck in one go.
An arrow lodged in its chest.
The impact was strong enough to knock it backward, but it ignored it.
The man’s face was right in front of it.
The ash-colored wolf opened its mouth wide.
But, something was off.
Smirk-
The corners of the man’s mouth lifted slightly in a smile that didn’t match his blood-covered body.
[Strange Gravity.]
Its chest felt as if it was being pulled towards the ground.
Boom-
Its chest hit the ground, and it felt as if its body’s weight had increased tenfold.
The ash-colored wolf felt as if it was in a position of worshipping a king.
Unable to move, it saw the man raising a sword with both hands.
And Hyun-soo struck down on the ash-colored wolf’s head without hesitation.
Crack-!
“Haah, haah.”
Hyun-soo gasped for air as he watched the creature turn to ash.
[You have hunted the boss monster, Ash-colored Wolf.]
[You have gained 23,910 experience points.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up……]
[You have gained 3,503 gold.]
Hyun-soo’s level surged by nearly 20 in an instant.
‘Belia’s experience gain rate buff is truly amazing.’
Experience gain rate increased by 18%.
Effectively, that buff meant Hyun-soo leveled up about 3 more times.
[A special event occurs.]
‘Hmm?’
Hyun-soo mulled over the part about a special event.
Thinking about it, the cloak and helmet Hyun-soo had obtained from hunting a fragment of Fenrir had this written on them:
“A special event may occur.”
Hyun-soo looked forward to what this specialness might be.
[You already possess two artifacts related to Fenrir.]
[By hunting one of Fenrir’s children, the Ash-colored Wolf, you obtain Fenrir’s Broken Boots.]
Hyun-soo was quietly impressed.
And there were more rewards for hunting the ash-colored wolf.
[You have acquired a Wolf’s Egg(?).]
‘What’s this about a wolf’s egg?’
For now, Hyun-soo checked the broken boots first.
(Fenrir’s Broken Boots)
Grade: Epic, Unrepairable
Durability: 390/4,000
Defense: 166
Restriction: Level 100 or higher
Special Abilities:
· Strength 5, Stamina 13
· Magic Defense increases by 14%.
· Lightning Resistance increases by 17%.
· Active Skill: Wolf’s Leap.
· Wearing two out of three set artifacts increases all effects by 3%.
· Wearing all three increases all effects by 10%.
· A more special event may occur.
Description: Fenrir’s broken boots are too damaged to retain their original form and can only be repaired by their original creator.
It was the same as the series he had obtained before.
Yet, Hyun-soo felt a strong need to wear them regardless.
[You have equipped Fenrir’s Helmet, Fenrir’s Cloak, and Fenrir’s Broken Boots.]
[Set effect activated, increasing all effects by 15%.]
‘I’ll have to repair this when I get back.’
Next, he examined the egg, which was large and hard like an ostrich’s egg, and appeared white.
(Wolf’s Egg)
Grade: ???
Type: ???
Description: An egg belonging to the Ash-colored Wolf, the third child of Fenrir. It is uncertain what kind of wolf will emerge, and when it will hatch.
‘The third child of Fenrir? But, a wolf’s egg?’
Hyun-soo realized the ash-colored wolf he had hunted was more significant than he thought.
However, not knowing when it would hatch or what kind of wolf would emerge, he carefully stored it in his inventory for now.
[You have completed a new story with astounding success.]
Hyun-soo had continuously heard about something called the Wolf King.
And still, he had no clear idea what exactly the Wolf King was.
[Hidden Piece. The one who conquers the king of the Wolf Sanctuary]
[You have become the Wolf King.]
[You have acquired the Call of the Wolf.]
Hyun-soo was surprised by the notification that followed.
He slowly walked and climbed upon a rock.
***
[You have fainted.]
Belia had fainted and fallen to the ground due to the ash-colored wolf.
The status effect of fainting sometimes serves to protect the player.
It protects them by causing unconsciousness when they suffer significant mental damage or feel fear.
Belia, slowly regaining consciousness, did not want to wake up.
‘No, I don’t want to…’
In fact, she had doubted the moment she fell into crisis due to the ash-colored wolf in the Wolf Sanctuary.
Hyun-soo was strong enough, beyond her expectations.
But she doubted whether Hyun-soo and she could really save the saintess.
‘How can we get to the saintess? No, what about all those followers?’
She couldn’t think of a way to get past hundreds of grotesquely shaped followers.
Awoooooo…
An unknown wolf’s howl made her spine tingle.
Realizing her current situation, she eventually opened her eyes.
Awoooooo-
It seemed the sun had set, and darkness had fallen as Belia looked puzzled by the continuous howling.
The howling became clearer, as if it was right next to her ear.
Awoooooo-!
Belia’s eyes widened.
From behind trees, bushes, rocks, giant wolves throughout the sanctuary began to walk towards the man standing on a rock.
Awoooooo-!
‘Hyun-soo?’
Above Hyun-soo’s head.
The helmet of Fenrir he wore was howling by itself.
Awoooooo-!
With another howl, hundreds of valiant wolves lined up in front of him.
The wolves howled in unison.
Awoooooo-!
‘The Wolf King…’
Belia felt a thrilling heat.
Yes, Hyun-soo’s current form was that of the Wolf King itself.
At that time.
Game nickname: Kot.
And Ji-hoon, Hyun-soo’s real-life friend, was hiding near the temple.
Kot, a level 198 Paladin, had received the hidden quest: Rescue the Saintess.
Ji-hoon, who had originally used the Leas Temple as a base, swallowed his dry saliva.
Hundreds of the evil god’s followers.
And the fifth calamity, famous in Ares.
‘Can we really save her?’
And Kot, along with the surviving paladins, were preparing to rescue the saintess.
It was a situation that seemed almost certainly impossible.
But the paladins here had no choice.
The too attractive reward of leveling up by 5 levels if they rescued the saintess.
“Let’s go.”
Kot and the few remaining paladins moved forward.
