Chapter 293 Thoughts of the Frost Giant Wolf
The cause of the Frost Giant Wolf's distress was twofold: first, the pain came too suddenly, and second, its unprotected eyes were indeed its weakness.
However, its rolling was not the feeble tumble of a small puppy, but rather a vengeful, hellish roll filled with murderous intent.
The Frost Giant Wolf's icy claws and protruding bone spikes were all fiercely swinging, believing that this rolling counterattack would surely strike the human—this was what the Frost Giant Wolf, Zane, had thought.
Yet, during the rolling process, the Frost Giant Wolf did not feel any impact on its target, which meant that the human youth had unbelievably managed to disengage from its body in such a brief instant, a truly inconceivable feat.
"Despicable human! You have enraged me!" (Evilkind language)
The Frost Giant Wolf angrily stood up, only to discover that the human youth had already retreated to a distance of thirty to forty meters away.
The continuous setbacks made the Frost Giant Wolf abandon its arrogance, finally realizing that if it did not take this youth seriously, it might suffer further humiliation.
— (Frost Protection: Winter God's Blessing.)
The Frost Giant Wolf did not hastily counterattack but instead used the second-tier skill to heal its injured right eye with the power of the Winter God.
As a shimmering icy blue glow enveloped its right eye, the wound quickly healed, leaving no trace of the previous injury.
This miraculous scene left the human youth dumbfounded, and noticing the incredulous expression on the youth's face, the Frost Giant Wolf immediately felt smug.
"How about that? Did you think you could injure one of my eyes just like that? Hahaha! Don't dream! I am the immortal Frost Giant Wolf, Lord Zane!"
The Frost Giant Wolf seized the opportunity to exaggerate its prowess, intending to deflate the human's arrogance.
In reality, the "Frost Protection: Winter God's Blessing" could only heal a small portion of the wound, and its cooldown time was as long as 24 hours. In other words, the Frost Giant Wolf no longer had the ability to heal itself in this battle.
However, the Frost Giant Wolf did not think this would be a problem, as it was now serious and would not give the human any more opportunities to exploit.
But at that moment, a question from the human youth once again disrupted the Frost Giant Wolf's composure.
"Great Lord Zane, I have a question for you..." The human youth stared straight into the Frost Giant Wolf's eyes, and the wolf could see that there was no fear in the youth's gaze, which was extremely rare.
Then, the youth asked the question, "If the 'immortal' Lord Zane is so powerful, why do you serve under the Goblin Ruler and guard the treasure vault in this sunless place?"
…It could be said that this question struck right at the heart of the Frost Giant Wolf, Zane's sore spot.
For a moment, the Frost Giant Wolf was furious but found itself at a loss for words.
At that moment, the youth delivered the final blow to the Frost Giant Wolf.
"In my opinion, the so-called Frost Giant Wolf, Lord Zane, is no different from a mere watchdog."
Yes, the youth uttered the word that the Frost Giant Wolf could not bear to hear:
WATCHDOG.
This was the greatest insult to it!
"Roar— !"
In a fit of rage, the Frost Giant Wolf roared and unleashed a high-pressure stream of icy air towards the youth, akin to a torrential water column!
Although this was merely a first-tier skill of the Frost Giant Wolf, its power had been honed to the extreme through countless battles!
The icy air traversed a distance of thirty to forty meters in an instant, and the Frost Giant Wolf was prepared to adjust its neck to continue pursuing the youth, regardless of the direction he dodged!
However, to the Frost Giant Wolf's astonishment, the youth vanished right before its eyes, only to reappear moments later, having bypassed the icy breath's blockade and approached the Frost Giant Wolf's vicinity.
— (Damn, what trickery has this human employed?!)
The closer the enemy was, the greater the angle the Frost Giant Wolf needed to turn to make its icy breath connect. At this moment, the Frost Giant Wolf faced a choice: cease the icy breath and engage in close-quarters combat or gamble on another attempt to strike the youth.
— (If only I could graze him, I could freeze this elusive foe...!!)
The Frost Giant Wolf was unwilling to waste its magic power in vain, but as the youth sprinted towards it, the creature had no choice but to change tactics.
Simultaneously halting its icy breath, the Frost Giant Wolf swiftly swung its claws. However, the youth was not only agile but also possessed exceptional predictive abilities, evading the rapid claw strikes with ease.
Then, the Frost Giant Wolf sensed something amiss. Turning its body, it discovered a black shadow wielding a dagger, stabbing at the leg that had been previously slashed by a sword.
Compared to the Frost Giant Wolf's colossal frame, the dagger seemed like a mere toy, incapable of inflicting any significant damage. This was why the Frost Giant Wolf, preoccupied with the human youth, had failed to notice it earlier.
Annoyed, the Frost Giant Wolf kicked the black shadow, sending it flying. The shadow dissipated before it even hit the ground.
During this time, the human youth had once again distanced himself from the Frost Giant Wolf.
By this point in the battle, the Frost Giant Wolf had essentially discerned the youth's tactics. First, the black shadows were undoubtedly the youth's summoned creatures. However, these low-quality summons posed no threat to the Frost Giant Wolf, so it would not be distracted by them in the future.
The Frost Giant Wolf would focus solely on hunting the human youth.
Secondly, the youth's offensive capabilities remained unclear, but his evasive prowess was undeniably formidable.
The Frost Giant Wolf had to admit that the youth's agility was on par with feline creatures, possessing both flexibility and explosive power. However, the true issue lay in the youth's two unique abilities, which had
allowed him to remain unscathed thus far.
Of course, these two abilities were merely conjectures on the part of the Frost Giant Wolf.
Based on its extensive combat experience, the Frost Giant Wolf surmised that the youth possessed teleportation and precognition abilities.
The teleportation ability was practically confirmed by the Frost Giant Wolf's own observations, as it did not believe the youth's speed could surpass its dynamic vision.
As for the precognition ability, it was more of an educated guess by the Frost Giant Wolf. Throughout their previous skirmishes, the Frost Giant Wolf felt that the youth's evasive maneuvers were too "effortless," as if he had prior knowledge of the incoming attacks and their directions.
Unless the Frost Giant Wolf could overcome these two abilities, it would struggle to harm the youth unless it resorted to a war of attrition.
However, the Frost Giant Wolf had no intention of patiently whittling down a weak human's stamina and magical power, as such an act would be utterly humiliating.
Instead, it would rely on its vast combat experience to devise a comprehensive combination of attacks, leaving the human with no escape!
— (Conceited human, daring to call me a "watchdog"... I shall make you pay the price!)
