NOVEL NEXT 71 Nightmare Wolf (I)
"Hey Mu Fan! Over here!"
"Chen Ling and I where just discussing on whether we should move away from here and attack the nightmare wolf, or stay here with the army"
"After all just look, even as the battle has has Drea reached a white hot stage, it still remains motionless just staring at the sky with disdain"
"Had it not been for its ability to gain strength from the battle field, without a doubt I would have suggested we take our time and slowly surround it with our armies"
"Unfortunately everyone is not always was we wish, so all in all what do you think Mu Fan, do we head out or stay for a while and try to use the whole armies combined strength"
Looking at Mu Fan who had finally reached where they where, Lin Xiao waved his hand toward him as he began to explain their current situation and thoughts
Just now, after reaffirming his goals on getting revenge on Wang Teng and the crosss guild, Lin Xiao couldn't wait rush toward the nightmare wolf and slay it then and there
However , he was stopped by Chen Ling making him unable to go yet
Pointing toward the nightmare would, she brought is attention to some sort of black energy threads that had begun to extend from the nightmare wolf to all corners of the battle field
Obviously their time was running out, since the nightmare wolf in this state was already so strong, the both knew that their chances of defeating it if it managed to evolve agiain was infinitely close to zero
However while both of them wanted to end it as quickly as possibles, they got into a small argument making nighter side able to progress
Lin Xiao on one hand wanted the three of them to go right now, a launch and attack and fight with all their strength killing it
Chu Ling in the other hand felt that the probability of them succeeding in such an attack was low considering the knew nothing about the enemies abilities
She onn the other hand wanted to take some soldiers if not all with her forward and use them as cannon fodder while they learnt their enemies moves from this
Because of this, since neither of them could make a decision, it was up to him Mu Fan as the third and final person to make the decision
So with this in mind, after explaining everything both Lin Xiao and Chu Ling faced Mu Fan with serious expressions on their faces as they waited for his reply
"...…."
Silence....
Hearing this, Mu Fan couldn't help but be stunned, although he knew that being late would undoubted miss a lot, but hearing this he felt like he had missed more than a lot
If nothing, just taking a look at the nightmare wolf's feet, Mu Fan realize that Chen Lings worries were not unfounded
In fact, the nightmares wolf's evolution was one of the worst case scenarios they discussed on in the chat before they arrived here
So knowing that the situation was already going in that direction, Mu Fan who had been smiling all this while couldn't help but feel a little gloomy
*However even if that may be the case, as the mercenary king there's no way I can agree to the use of soldiers as cannon fodder*
*not only would it cause my reputation to plummet after the war, but it might case everything I've worked so hard to build to be destroyed"
*rather than being the hero who everyone smiled about and praised, without a doubt I'd end up being a street mouse which everyone should at and beat*
*and if that happens, my ability is basically useless since no one would want to listen to my lines"
Putting his right hand under his chin, Mu Fan began to calculate the pros and cons of each side thinking of which would have the most adverse impact on him now and in the future
And without a doubt, it was Chen Lings own that by far has the worst punishments for him to face
After all, as a king who symbolised freedom and strength, for him to do that was no different from writing his own name in the mud with his bare hands
Thinking of this, still with a gloomy expression Mu Fan turned toward the both of them and spoke
"Sorry Chen Ling, although what you say makes sense but there's no way I can agree with the sacrifice of my men!"
"As their pillar of faith and source of protection, it is my trouble to protect them even if the world all around me collapses"
Pitting on a righteous expression, Mu Fan didn't forget to put himself in the spotlight as he spoke out loud making sure a few soldiers who were not to far off heard his words
In fact, as soon as he knew there was going to be a mass release after this beta, Mu Fan had begun to make preparations for his return
And by making sure his reputation was so loud and popular, Mu Fan wanted to a kind of effect with was similar to the 'I am not in the rivers and lakes but my legend still spreads' kind of thing
This way, if needed in the next tests his former identity might be a big help to him
However all that would be for way later as after Mu Fan's answer, while Lin Xiao was happy, Chen Ling didn't say anything.
Rather after giving him a deep look as to see through why he chose such an illogical choice, Chen Ling just nodded accepting the result
23:02
Now having reached an agreement, it was up to three of them to go and slay the nightmare wolf saving their kingdoms and soldiers in the process
"Alright! Now that it's concluded, we don't have much time! Just look it's aura is getting stronger by the second!"
Brandishing his sword, Mu Fan pointed in the nightmare wolf's direction charging toward it on his force with no hesitation
Behind him, after taking a quick glance at each other, but he Chen Ling and Lin Xiao pulled out their weapons rushing right behind him as they too wanted to end this battle as soon as possible
However what they didn't know was that as soon as they started charging toward the nightmare wolf, it which had been emotionless all this while suddenly turned to look toward them
Seeing them rush toward it, it still didn't move rather a sly hint could be seen in his eyes
Obviously this nightmare wolf wasn't as simple as it seemed
.........
Soon time passed, and just like Chen Ling had guessed, their whole attack was nothing but a fiasco
Lin Xiao beside her was blind and had gone mad as he held his head with his to arms shouting in pain and asking for forgiveness from the world
Mu Fan had lost his right arm and left eye, making it difficult for him to stand
A large dent appeared making it difficult for him to breath, looking at it closer it looked like he would drop dead at any moment, however his resolute expression still remained unwilling to give up
And as for her, currently she could barely see anything as blood from her bleeding forehead dripped down her face making it difficult for her to see
Her surroundings had begun to speed for all the internal bleeding going on in her head and other parts of the body
Several of her bones were broken and several organs on the brink of failure, just remembering the battle just now Chen Ling couldn't help but laugh at her self
*Cough! Cough!*
"Although I don't want to admit it but there's no way to win this fight, just what is the game manager thinking he's doing by creating such a scenario! Does he want to destroy the world!"
Rembring how all of their attacks had little to no effects on the enemy, Chen Ling knew they had been played, and this quest was made to be undefeatable from the beginning
Now don't talk about getting rewards, it'll be a miracle if he doesn't get transited after all the pain and near death experiences she experienced in this fight just now
In fact, speaking of the enemy Chen Ling looked at the figure who had put all of them in such a state with anger and a bit of fear in her eyes
Different from its earlier large and sky reaching figure, the nightmare woulf at this time was standing in front of them in a humanoid form similar to them in size
His body covered is a dark smoke like armour and a face covered with a similar type helmet
On his head piercing through the helmet wear a pair of devil like horns which connected forming a crown over his head, and a wolf tail coming out of is back being the only sight that he was the giant figure from before
Now looking at the three of them sprawled out on the sides on the brink of death, the nightmare wolf suddenly spoke
"Haha is this all you can do warriors from another world? If so then after I and my people destroy you and the gods of this world we will also find your hometown and destroy it!"
"Dark curtain!"
Saying this, the nightmare would didn't give anymore a chance to react as the sky above them suddenly turned pitch black
