Wolfy was ready with his new idea as he understood that group confrontation isn't his forte but luckily since the Terikin lacked intelligence Wolfy would be able to manipulate them.
The first batch that were out of the group started to rush towards Wolfy but from the way they were acting they were ignoring him and were more focused on Shaman and Elysia.
'Oh no you don't.' He saw the intent and instantly got to work for his new skill.
Wolfy started to spread his shadow across the floor and a black and dark purple wave could be seen throughout the shadow which indicated the area that Wolfy controlled
The Terikin paid no attention to this and continued to go over the shadow without thinking. Once all the Trekin had entered the shadow Wolfy finally activated the shadows.
Just like he had done before Wolfy made scythes come up from the ground creating a spike field of scythe blades. Each and every Terikin was skewered by a shadow scythe and were instantly killed. Wolfy despite not having a system, Rea still put the loot from Wolfy's kill into Shaman's inventory.
Wolfy was taking heavy breaths as it took a lot of mana out of him and in the long term, it is going to bite him back sooner or later if he continues to use the skill.
'Despite me having a considerable amount of mana that took a lot out of me.' Wolfy felt the drain and he figured he could only use it about 2 more times before passing out.
'Looks like I am going to have to speed assassinate them but I need to draw their attention somehow so they don't just run to Mother or Elysia.' Wolfy was deep in thought but it was soon broken as another wave of Terikin began to rise from the ground.
'God dammit, let's just try to kill them as fast as I can.' Wolfy wanted to reduce the numbers as much as he could. Wolfy ran along the graves shooting up scythes to pierce the cores.
"HeEEllPpp." Screams were being heard but all Wolfy could do was scoff at it.
'Pft the only person I would help is my mother and sometimes Elysia, not some low life trash mob in a dungeon.' Wolfy growled a little and continued his sprint through the graveyard.
Soon the Terikin that Wolfy did not manage to kill before they exited the ground finally were free but just as expected they ignored Wolfy.
'Lets see if this works.' Wolfy had thought of a way while running and was hoping it would be enough.
Wolfy then began to howl into the sky while also creating a massive shadow of a Wolf that had purple glowing eyes which appeared behind Wolfy. The Terikin turned around and saw Wolfy's shadow and began to run towards him instead of Shaman and Elysia.
'YES!' Wolfy was happy with the results and he could see the group of 15 terikin go after him instead.
The Terikin charged in the direction of the shadow Wolf that was still visible. Wolfy had dived into the ground into [Shadow walk] and made his way towards the rear of the group. He appeared behind them with sword in mouth and swung at the core. After killing one he would go back into the ground and move on to the next one.
Soon only 7 were left but this is when the Terikin stopped moving as they turned to look at Wolfy who had just killed one. They screamed and reached out to grab him as now they see him as more of a threat. The scream had also started to bring more Terikin, making the next wave come early.
Wolfy started to panic a little bit as it would be too much for him to handle.
'I have to finish this group off quickly.' Wolfy jumped into the air throwing his shadow sword at one Terikin while he made a small puddle of Shadows. This was a lot smaller than the large scale one which saved him his mana. Scythes came from the ground once again killing the Terikin and piercing the core.
Wolfy wanted to get straight to killing the Terikin before they came out of the ground but to his surprise they had already come up from the ground and started to go after Wolfy.
Wolfy's heart sank as it was a group of 30 and he was unsure how he was going to be able to deal with it.
'I can use the AOE as Mother would say but I don't know if my mana can support that amount of area.' Wolfy found that the Terikin were more spread out as if to counter his attack.
'I just have to start attacking.' Wolfy had thought of a few ideas but was unsure how well they would turn out but he was going to at least try.
Wolfy gritted his teeth from the nerves he was feeling and he could also feel his fur stand up a little.
Wolfy slammed his paws on the ground and started to run at them, he activated [Shadow cloak] to make it harder for the Terikin to hit him. Wolfy jumped up in front of the first Terikin but due to Wolfy being in Shadow cloak it was unable to dodge and took a blade to the core.
The Terikin started to surround Wolfy and kept their distance away from him as the circle formed.
Wolfy ran to the edge and did a small AOE attack of scythes but when he got close to the edge the surrounding Terikin began to swarm him. Wolfy panicked as he was unsure of what to do so he tried to dodge out of the way.
Due to the sheer amount of hands clawing at him, and since he was a full size Wolf, he was unable to avoid it. Wolfy got a massive cut in his side as well as his back. Wolfy managed to kill another Terikin while dodging but now he was bleeding profusely out of his wound. Wolfy was able to cover the wound with his shadows, as when it came off the ground it gained physical properties.
Wolfy found it hard to move but his mind was racing.
'Fuck, fuck, fuuuuckkk, What do I do, surely Himeko will come and help.' Wolfy looked up in the air to look for Himeko and when he did he saw the look on her face.
She was smiling at him which usually looked good but to Wolfy in this moment, could not help feel this evil aura come off her like she wanted him dead.
'No.' Wolfy could not believe what he was seeing and he could not understand why.
Wolfy however had no more time to think as the remaining 24 Terikin had started to chase him. Wolfy tried to run but due to the pain he had to enter [Shadow walk] as he does not physically move but is moved by the Shadow.
Wolfy was able to relax a little from the pain but he still had a horde issue to worry about. Wolfy figured he could strike from below slowly killing them off but before he could finish the thought a large Ice spear and fire arrow crashed into the ground.
He looked ahead to see the infuriated face of Shaman and Elysia who had just wiped out the last of them. Wolfy came out of the shadow and laid on the floor as he could not move and used his shadow to stop the bleeding from the claw marks. Luckily due to his fur having some defensive properties the marks on the back were lighter but the ones that landed closer to his stomach did not fare too well.
Shaman quickly rushed to Wolfy's side and did not waste any time in using [Heal] on him. Wolfy started to feel the wounds close which allowed him to dispel the shadows that were on them.
"Oh thank god you are okay, I don't need another close call after what happened the other day." Shaman was relieved to see Wolfy was breathing and alive since when she saw Wolfy's injuries she started to panic a little.
'Heh well let's say fighting a big group is not my expertise but I need to say something to you once Himeko is not around.' Wolfy wanted to say what he saw but right now was not the time as he had no idea how Himeko would react.
"Haha~ maybe until you get your human body, you stick with single targets and support." Shaman felt, once Wolfy gained access to a human form his combat ability would increase and allow him to be much more independent.
'Also sure I can wait but why not when Himeko is away.' Shaman spoke to Wolfy through telepathy instead of out loud like usual.
'I saw something but right now is not the best time.' Wolfy felt a little pressured by his Mother but he still held on strong.
Shaman nodded and picked up Wolfy as now he was healed but was still weak from the battle.
Elysia had also come over as she was looking out making sure no more Terikin would come out.
"There is no more but seeing as Wolfy is exhausted I say we go back." Elysia wanted to continue but since Wolfy was out of commission it was best they would leave however Himeko had flown down.
"We continue on to the main cathedral!"
