Earth's Alpha Prime

But when I used the leap to land directly on the ground in front of the wolf, the impact I felt on my body was high, and that caused me some internal damage. Blood started trickling from the side of my lips.

I swiped away the blood and added 2 Stats to my Strength Attribute and 3 Stats to my Vitality.

[Strength: 16 ➝ 18]

[Vitality: 11 ➝ 14]

[Health: 83/110 ➝ 113/140]

[Undistributed Stats: 5 ➝ 0]

I felt a surge of warmth in my body, along with an increase in my muscle power as my muscles squirmed.

The wolves howled at the death of their kin, and all of them pounced towards me at the same time.

I swung the Rusty Short Sword in an arc while adding <Sword Aura Extension> on top of the Lv.14<Sword Aura> and the Aura around the Sword extended by 2 meters and sliced two Lv.9 Grey Wolves and the 3rd Lv.9 Grey Wolf was sent flying as a deep cut formed on its back, but it didn't die immediately.

Even with my increased Strength Attribute, I wasn't able to slice off the third Grey Wolf in a row, and my attack didn't even reach the 4th Gray Wolf of the 5 Grey Wolves that chased me.

The fourth Lv.9 Grey wolf aimed for my neck. Even with my temporarily boosted Agility Attribute, I couldn't wholly dodge. I could only defend my neck by raising my left arm shoulder.

The bite was so strong that I heard some cracks in my shoulder bone and some of my blood entered its mouth, and the blood burned its skin as if it was an acid, and the wolf howled painfully after letting go of my shoulder.

If not for my bones that got denser and stronger with my high Endurance Attribute, my hand would have been bitten off by the Lv.9 Grey Wolf.

But the pain I felt was less compared to when I merged with <Hydraulic Leap> Skill, and with the addition of 24% Physical pain Resistance, the pain was even less than what it should have been.

My <Physical Pain Resistance> Skill didn't level up as the amount of pain should be higher than what I have experienced to reach Lv.24.

While the fourth Lv.9 Grey Wolf was still howling in pain, another thunderous howl sounded in the direction of the fight between Tier-2 monsters.

I ignored the Tier-2 Wolf's angry howl and attacked the Lv.9 Grey Wolf by activating the <Sword Aura Extension>; I killed it in a single strike.

[Congratulations! You have reached Lv.6]

[5 Undistributed Stats available]

Every time I activated the <Sword Aura Extension>, I only used it for a second to conserve my Spirit Energy. Once I levelled up, I immediately added 2 Stats to Strength Attribute and the remaining 3 Stats to Vitality Attribute.

[Strength: 18 ➝ 20]

[Congratulations! You obtained the Skill, <Strength Boost-I> (Uncommon) by reaching 20 Stats in Strength Attribute.]

[Vitality: 14 ➝ 17]

[Health: 43/140 ➝ 73/170]

While I was getting used to the changes that occurred from the increase of Strength and Vitality Attributes, the Lv.9 Grey Wolf that got wounded from my previous attack started to escape towards the Dire Wind Wolf.

I quickly adjusted and rushed towards the wounded Lv.9 Grey Wolf. While moving, I looked towards the fight that was ongoing between the two Tier-2 monsters. Even while I added Stats to my attributes, I kept an eye on the fight that happened 100 meters away.

With the addition of 10 Dire Wolves to the Dire Wind Wolf, they were able to hold out against the Bloodthirsty Earth Bear without any losses. Still, after they heard the howl from the last wolf I killed, the Tier-2 Wolf got aggressive and tried to rush towards me.

But with the continuous attacks of the Bloodthirsty Earth Bear, it wasn't able to approach me immediately. When it saw the wounded Lv.9 Dire Wolf running towards it, the Tier-2 Wolf rushed towards me as it ignored the attacks from the Tier-2 Bear.

A few injuries appeared on its chalk wite fur from the attacks, but they were not anything major, as it didn't slow down while dashing towards me.

I intended to kill the wounded Lv.9 Grey Wolf before it reached the Dire Wind Wolf and readied myself for the deadliest attack that I could bring out.

I exerted my full capacity of <Hydraulic Leap> and leapt towards it at a speed of 90 meters per second while activating <Sword Aura Extension>.

A few cracks appeared on the ground from where I leapt.

In that instant, the Dire Wind Wolf, the wounded Lv.9 Grey Wolf, and I were in a straight line. At the speed at which I moved, it almost looked like I was flying, and at such speed, the Grey Wolf wasn't even able to resist and died by getting sliced into two pieces.

But the momentum of my body didn't slow down and moved towards the Tier-2 Wolf. It was shocked by my sudden burst of speed and instinctively defended itself with a transparent shield made of wind.

My attack broke through the transparent barrier with the utmost difficulty. Still, I was only able to deal with a minor wound on its paw.

I fell on the ground while spurting out a lot of blood because of moving at such high speeds. The landing impact took a lot of toll on my body and caused internal injuries.

The Dire Wind Wolf got enraged even more for being wounded by a mere Tier-1 human and swung its claw at my chest with a lot of strength.

While getting myself up with difficulty, I defended with the <Rusted Short Sword> that had <Sword Aura Extension> over it and was able to stop the deadly claws from reaching me. Still, just from the raw power behind its attack, I was sent flying through a tree and crashed into the second tree. Many cracks appeared on the tree trunk, and my <Rusted Short Sword> was sent flying far away.

My body was completely covered in blood and was on the verge of death. A lot of injuries and internal organs were heavily damaged, along with many broken ribs and fractures.

I wasn't able to move in that body condition. The Grey Wolves were able to catch up to the Dire Wind Wolf, and all the wolves howled in anger after looking at the dead bodies of their kin.

All the Wolves and Dire Wind Wolf started to approach me while letting out angry growls as if they couldn't wait to tear me apart from limb to limb.

While coughing up my blood, I started to laugh coldly in a low voice and looked in the eyes of the Tier-2 Wolf and without even caring if it could understand my words, I said with difficulty, "You.....already....lost the chance.....to kill me."

"<LOOT>!!!"
