Wolfy instantly sensed danger all around him, the 15 or so pair of red eyes all locked into him. Wolfy became nervous and was now trying to think of ways to escape because if they are all like the angered monkey Infront of him, he is unsure he will be able to get out by fighting.
Wolfy activated [Shadow cloak] in order to give him more time to think on what to do.
The monkeys saw him disappear and began to frantically run about in order to find him while Wolfy dodged their movements. Although they could not see Wolfy, his presence was still there which allowed the Monkeys to know his general direction and follow him.
Wolfy thought back to when his mother created new skills with her elements and wondered if he was able to do the same with his shadows. He also knew that his mother had a thing called a system that helped her but did not understand what it was and wondered if he had his own.
Unfortunately any attempt to call upon the system thing failed so Wolfy gave up long ago.
The monkeys began to get agitated and Wolfy could see that their fur began to transform into a red colour. Wolfy was running out of time and needed to to think of something that could help escape or kill them easier.
Time went on and all the monkey's fur were almost all red and their speed was increasing alongside it, making it harder for Wolfy to evade. However Wolfy had finally got an idea which involved using his shadow to store things.
Despite the skill not being very useful for carrying things since they have an inventory it would be nice to store unimportant things in it to keep the inventory clear from clutter. But what Wolfy thought was to hide himself within that shadow inventory and be able to use the shadows around him to move across the surface.
Wolfy quickly went behind a tree and activated his shadows below him and began to sink into it like quicksand. Wolfy pushed himself deeper and was now in the ground with his shadow.
The monkeys that were chasing him pulled out the trees from the roots but found nothing there and were now even more confused and angry since Wolfy's presence seemingly disappeared.
Despite not having a system Wolfy had created a skill.
[Shadow Walk]
[Anywhere a shadow is casted or no light is present be able to hide within the darkness and move around and appear anywhere from the darkness, your presence is hidden while within the shadow walk and the use of a ability will force you out of shadow walk]
Wolfy did not get the system message but Shaman who was now passed out in Elysia's arms did but due to their bond Wolfy was able to vaguely understand how the skill worked and instantly got to work.
At this point all the monkeys were in an enraged state and were tearing up the terrain to find Wolfy.
To Wolfy he could not feel his body and felt like a pair of eyes on the floor but was able to move around freely like it was his own body. He started to move towards the injured monkey as he was the easiest to kill due to his injury.
Due to it being nighttime Wolfy was able to use his [Shadow walk] on the monkey's body and go behind its head. Wolfy also took this opportunity to make a new attack skill.
Wolfy took inspiration from his mother and made a katana out of shadows. Due to Wolfy using his shadow to make something he was ejected out of [Shadow walk] and was now behind the injured monkey's head.
[Shadow sword]
[Create a sword made of shadows that gets more powerful depending what cycle the moon is in]
Wolfy uses his mouth to hold the shadow sword and decapitates the monkey in one swing, killing him.
All the other monkeys turned around to look at Wolfy however he was nowhere to be seen other than the limp body of the monkey and his head rolling on the floor.
Instead of getting more angry they were terrified and wanted to get as far away as they could. The fur on the monkeys began to revert back to its brown colour.
However when one of the monkeys that had begun to run all of a sudden they got decapitated. The group of at least 10 monkeys that had yet to run grouped up next to each other looking around frantically trying to find where Wolfy will appear next.
Wolfy had also found a key weakness to the monkeys and how they had monstrous speed, he realized that they require to stand still and charge like they are storing power within themselves. So by staying out of sight the monkeys are unwilling to use their strength and are just normal monkeys.
Due to the monkeys grouping up who were under the belief that Wolfy could teleport, this allowed him to get in the middle and do a surprise attack from within the group.
Wolfy jumped out in the middle of the monkeys and extended the shadow on the sword to increase its length. Wolfy had also taken advantage of the pushing force of [Shadow walk] kicking Wolfy out of the shadows to add extra power to the blade.
This resulted in the decapitation of half the monkeys getting killed while the remaining 5 used their stored strength to dodge.
Wolfy used [Shadow walk] straight away and went after the remaining monkeys that had began to run away. Due to Wolfy being in a shadowy state he was able to move at incredible speeds and catch up to the monkeys.
Wolfy went to exit [Shadow walk] but when he was about to leave from a tree that was ahead of the monkeys he was chasing, they halted and attacked the spot Wolfy was exiting using their stored strength. This scared Wolfy but luckily due to him not using a skill and was jumping out normally he was able to pull back and not get pummeled.
The monkeys looked at each with confusion but kept running.
Wolfy realized that the monkeys now know how his skill works but this did not deter Wolfy as an idea sprouted inside his head.
Wolfy got to work and attached himself on one of the monkey's faces and began to exit his [Shadow walk]. But just as Wolfy expected, due to the monkey's frantic state they did not care where Wolfy was, they just punched wherever they sensed him.
So the other 4 monkeys punched the 1 monkey killing the one instantly. This shocked the monkeys as they just killed one of their own and were now in a more distressed state. Wolfy also did not stop as he appeared behind the 4 monkeys and once again used [Shadow sword] to finish them all off in 1 sweep.
Wolfy successfully was able to kill the remaining monkeys but due to the excessive use of his skills, he was on the verge of passing out.
Wolfy landed on the ground and looked at the bodies of the monkeys and felt proud that he had survived this endeavor. Wolfy had also wanted to take the cores has his mother always took them from monsters but due to him not being able to carry anything he had to leave them there. He also did not have the energy left to extract the cores and just wanted to go back to the camp.
Wolfy began to slowly walk back towards the camp trying his best to stay awake and not fall over from mana exhaustion.
After walking for about 10 minutes or so, Wolfy could see Betty and the tent and felt relieved that he had made it back in one piece. Wolfy walked up to Betty and settled himself in front of her and finally let the exhaustion take over him.
*
Wolfy could hear the sound of Betty walking and slowly regained consciousness from his exhausted state. However when he woke up all he could see was his mother's face looking at him.
"How the hell did you get so big overnight?" Shaman looked at Wolfy with curiosity but due to Wolfy not being fully awake he was unsure what his mother was talking about.
"You're almost the size of an actual Wolf, your fur is so much softer now and when the hell did you learn the skill Shadow walk?" Shaman kept asking questions despite Wolfy not being able to answer. Nonetheless Wolfy tried to respond to Shaman's questions but to his surprise it worked.
'I killed some monsters last night.' Wolfy looked up in shock as he was very confused why he could hear a male voice in his head but he somehow was able to telepathically speak to Shaman.
Shaman looked around in confusion.
"Who was that?" Shaman tried asking and Elysia who was still recovering was now confused on what was happening.
'I think it's my mother.' Wolfy tried to speak once again and this time Shaman's eyes locked on to Wolfy.
"WOLFY YOU CAN SPEAK NOW!!!!!"
