Evan looked at the shining horn at the top of the wolf's forehead and the remaining wolves whose power suddenly skyrocketed.
Seeing how the wolf with the horn improved the power of its underlings, Evan realized this wolf is different from the shadow wolf he faced in the wilderness.
That wolf didn't care about its underlings and used them as canon fodders to gauze his strength.
But this wolf is not using its underlings as cannon fodder and even buffing them.
Howl! Howl!
All the seven wolves howled and the air around them became colder. Tens of ice spikes that were releasing a cold aura materialized around them and they shot all of them toward Valery who just killed three wolves.
Seeing tens of ice spikes coming towards her Valery tapped her foot on the ground, and a two meters high and one-meter-thick ice wall emerged in front of her.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Booming sounds echoed out as the ice spikes clashed against the thick ice wall. Valery was rather confident in her ice wall, but her face changed greatly when the wall starter to crack by the onslaught of the ice spikes.
Evan looked at the ice spikes that suddenly started to shine with a blue aura and noticed how the wolf with a horn even increased the power of those attacks.
'It can even increase the power of its pack attack' Evan was shocked because he realized the power of those spikes was very very close to C+ rank.
With tens of spikes whose power Is near C+ rank how can Valery's ice wall can stop them.
Boooomm!
A defeating booming sound rang out and the wall was completely shattered.
"Ice walk" Valery had no choice but to dodge the ice spikes using another of her skill.
After seeing the strange power of the horn wolf, Evan also didn't wait anymore.
Seeing how the fight was escalating, he was worried about other monsters coming here after hearing the commotion.
The forest was quite small and was filled with different types of monsters, he didn't think even for a moment that other monsters will not notice them.
Evan used mana reinforcement and a light blue layer of the mana along with a faint black layer appeared around him.
He just used 80% power of the mana reinforcement so that his body won't feel any pressure because of the shadow energy.
After using mana reinforcement Evan shot toward one of the wolves.
But just as Evan charged forward his face changed. He tried to stop after coming near one wolf but realized because of the icy ground the friction was very low and he can't control his speed.
Boom!
Evan's body crashed against one of the ice wolves who was blasted two meters away and Evan fall to the ground.
Just as Evan fall to the ground he felt a cold gaze on him. He looked beside him and saw one ice wolf looking at him with its blue eyes.
Hearing the booming sound other wolves who were attacking Valery also stopped and looked at Evan.
"Um, don't mind me I am just passing by," Evan said to the wolf who was close to him.
"Grrrr," the wolf didn't give sh*t what Evan was saying and lunged towards him while baring its fang.
The wolf that was blasted away after crashing against Evan also stood up and shot two ice spears toward him.
'Sh*t' Evan cursed when he saw the wolf and the ice spear coming towards him.
He was still on the ground after crashing against the wolf so he has no chance of dodging.
Evan gritted his teeth and stopped using mana reinforcement since he can't use skills while the mana reinforcement is activated.
He lifted his nether steel sword with his right hand to block the sharp claw of the wolf, and shot two bullets toward the incoming ice spears using his left hand.
Because he didn't shoot the bullet using shadows the mana consumption was low compared to before.
Clang!!
Booom! Booooom!
The sharp icy claw of the wolf clashed against the nether steel sword and it was sent flying. At the same time, his shadow bullets clashed against two ice spears.
With a booming sound, both ice spears and shadow bullets were destroyed sending Shockwaves around them.
Ice shard flew everywhere along with cold air making it looks like an icy storm.
Because of the buff provided by the horn wolf the power of all wolves was very close to C+ rank. Evan's physical strength is not on C+ rank without using mana reinforcement, so although he somehow blocked the claw attack of the wolf his sword was sent flying.
His right hand from which he was holding the sword was trembling and the wolf already lifted its claw to attack him again.
Just as the wolf slashed with its claw a light blue layer of the mana also appeared around Evan. Since he successfully stopped the ice spear he once again used mana reinforcement.
His right hand stopped trembling, and he threw a punch to meet with the wolf claw.
Kacha!
Howl!!!
After using mana reinforcement Evan's physical strength was comparable to a C+ rank hunter. And even after the buff of the horn wolf, these wolves were not C+ rank monsters.
The claw of the wolf was shattered when it clashed with Evan's fist and red blood spurted out. Taking the advantage of the situation Evan kicked the wolf right at the center of the stomach and sent it flying backward.
After sending the wolf fly backward he was finally able to stand up and looked at his hand that was bleeding.
There was a deep claw mark on his hand from which he clashed with the wolf earlier.
Evan looked around him and saw his nether steel sword ten meters away from him.
Ten meters was not a long distance for him so he instantly appeared near the sword, this time because of his last experience he did not crash against anyone and stopped near the sword.
Five wolves who were fighting against Valery saw Evan sending flying one of the wolves and two of them tried to come toward Evan.
Howl!!
But the horned wolf howled and those wolves once again started to focus on Valery.
After seeing its five underlings taking care of the two legged female animal, the horned wolf stepped forward and looked at Evan with the other two wolves.
