Forest Of Acrata...
The wolves didn't stop approaching Linda steadily, while growling and snarling mostly hungrily at her.
But suddenly,at the last moment the wolves immediately stopped and sat simultaneously on the ground. They surrounded her, leaving her no chance of escape except through air.
They all say around her, some still snarling, while some staring at her with some kind of a wolfish grin.
Linda is by far surprised by this action. She didn't expect the wolves to just stop and sit on the ground while still surrounding her. She had actually expected them all to attack her without mercy and maybe tear into shreds. But seeing them all gathered around her, sitting on the ground and with all their eyes on her could be acceptable.
At least,it would give her time to fight them off or maybe find a way to escape.
But before she could do anything,a wolf, skinny and short with black and white fur, leapt right at her, projecting it's body through the air.
At first, Linda is scared at the outcome of the sudden attack. She was quick to mutter a spell that sends the black and white, skinny wolf back.
"Chandra...ìdú.....maæ!!"
Linda chanted and a strange wind burst out of nowhere and slams against the wolf, sending it flying and hitting a tree trunk behind the pack of wolves that sat on the ground, surrounding her.
A short whimper of pain is heard from the wolf and it seems like it had broken some bones as a result of the force at which it was sent flying.
Linda steeled her resolve once more as she held the baby in her arms a little bit tighter. The baby on the other hand, is carefully studying the wolves that surrounded the lady carrying him. Somehow, he contemplated on whether to intervene or let the lady carrying him deal with the wolves. He can't believe that just after being adopted, he's already being attacked by wolves.
But he knew that the lady wouldn't be able to deal with the wolves alone.
'I'll intervene when she can no longer defend herself'. The baby thought.
Meanwhile, the wolves surrounding Linda, seeing one of theirs knocked out easily, looked among themselves for a moment and once again stared at the woman in front of them. They knew very well not to underestimate the woman in front of them especially the fact that she had easily knocked out one of theirs.
Two huge bulky wolves stood up on their feet and stepped out of the pack of wolves. They snarled simultaneously at Linda, ready to attack or should I say, challenge her.
Linda, seeing the approaching two wolves knew very well that they would attack her any minute. She waited patiently for them to make a move, while still figuring out a way to escape the pack of wolves that surrounded her.
The two wolves that had stepped out didn't waste time in charging at Linda. Each were charging from left and right. They bared their canines ready to have them sink into Linda's body.
Linda, sensing the approaching danger from both left and right was confused on which to fight off first. Both wolves were attacking at surprisingly the same speed and agility and it seemed they planned to confuse her.
From what she notices,it seems like one of the wolves would attack first from the right while the other from the left. That means, when she fights off the wolf at the right, the one at the left would attack.
Suddenly realizing this simple trick, Linda decided to use her fire magic. In a split of seconds,, she summons her fire magic with her right hand.
Fire flames burst out of her right hand. She immediately sends a ball of fire flying, targeting the wolf attacking from the right. She uses her spiritual energy in increasing the impact of the fireball.
The fireball shoots right at the wolf in a bullet speed. The fireball hits the wolf, square on the head.
As for the other wolf, Linda sends another fireball flying at it and just like the other one,it was hit on the head. They didn't even have time to dodge and both wolves fell to the ground, whimpering from immense pain caused by the fireball shots.
Linda smiles, seeing that she easily conquered two more wolves. In order to increase their pain, Linda chants a spell and fire burst out of their (the two wolves) trembling bodies and consumes them.
As fire burst out of the two wolves already hit by Linda's fireballs, the two wolves howl loudly in immense pain as their bodies were completely engulfed by fire.
Linda could see life flickering out of the two wolves on the ground that are already being consumed by fire. Fire continued to blaze out with intense ferocity that in a couple of minutes, the two wolves were already lost in death and the howling in pain wasn't heard again.
Linda notices the other wolves that had her surrounded, were slowly retreating. They all seemed scared of the blazing fire flames, knowing very well that two of their comrades were lost as a result of the fire.
For once, Linda actually thought that the pack of wolves would leave her alone. Seeing that she had easily taken down three of their comrades and the blazing fire flames spreading at an increasing rate. She couldn't help but think that the wolves would retreat and not attack her anymore.
But she was definitely wrong.
The pack of wolves weren't retreating. They were only moving backwards as a result of the spreading flames. They were determined to avenge their fallen comrades and that could only happen once they successfully kill the human that had killed their comrades.
They couldn't really attack her because of the rising fire flames. To them, the fire flames acted as some sort of a shield and they knew crossing the fire would be costly.
Nevertheless,a brave brown wolf that had a bulky statue and had some kind of aura that could cause fear,dared to attack despite the rising fire flames acting as a shield to the human.
It growled angrily after seeing two of it's comrades engulfed by fire. It didn't retreat, but instead, did something impossible.
It charged forth, running at swift speed towards the fire. It leapt into the air and successfully jumped across the fire that had engulfed it's fallen comrades.
The bulky brown wolf landed successfully, just a few meters from Linda and it growled at her,baring it's teeth and canines.
Before she even knew what was happening, more wolves started jumping across the fire. They each landed just in front of her, ready to attack her. But this time,they would not leave any room for mercy.
Neither would they sit down on the ground and watch their comrades attacked one by one. Now that they know that the human they are dealing with is no ordinary human, they would attack all at once.
Five wolves including the brown wolf making them six were able to make it passed the fire. The rest stayed behind and watched,, knowing that the human would be torn into shreds.
Linda, seeing six wolves growling and snarling at her, she knew she wouldn't be able to beat them all at once. But looking at the baby in her arms, she was ready to face them all.
She didn't waste time in summoning all her spiritual energy, because these wolves that had made passed through the fire, would not go easy on her.
But what happens next is a mystery.
