I Became A Zompirewolf

Chapter 149 – Claws And Horns (2)

There was a reason behind the wolves being referred to as Wraiths. Sadly Ashton got to discover it the hard way. But it was alright. After reading the descriptions of the wolves, he knew their weakness and was ready to exploit it. 

Even though the wolves healed up, they were now being a bit conscious of Ashton. Even though their injuries could heal time and time again, it wasn't like they didn't feel any pain. While they were busy circling around him, Ashton slit his palms and drenched the blades with his blood. 

Thanks to his [Pain Resistance] and [Haemorrhage Resistance], he wasn't going to suffer through any long term side-effects. The same, however, couldn't be said for those poor wraith wolves. 

"I hope this skill doesn't disappoint me…" Ashton mumbled to himself before rushing into the wolf nearest to him.

Since the creature's body was translucent, Ashton's job was made even easier. He could more or less see the organs within their body and hence knew exactly where he had to stab those fckers. Their hearts and brains were the idea targets and with his agility, it wasn't difficult for his strike to meet their mark.

Ashton paid no heed to the notification flashing in front of him and rushed in to attack the rest of the Horned Wraith Wolves. Just like before, it didn't take him much time to stab the rest of them. Once it was done, all he had to do was to sit back and relax as the wolves slowly succumbed to the poison coursing in their veins. 

Each of his attacks dealt around 600 HP worth of damage to the wolves per minute. It wasn't much, but thankfully, the skill could be stacked innumerable times. Which meant… the more he stabbed them, the more damage they received because of the poison. 

A battle that would have normally resulted in the deaths of even the high ranking adventurers, was taken care of in a matter of minutes. All thanks to Ashton's detection skill. 

Sadly, even though the wraith wolves were a tough mob to handle, at the end of the day they were only level 10 monsters. As a result, the amount of exp Ashton got for killing them wasn't enough for him to level up the werewolf genes.

"It's not like I wanted to level up the werewolf part of me either way." Ashton shrugged his shoulders and got to work. 

He needed to collect the horn and claws of 40 different wolves, which wasn't going to be an easy task. Not because the wolves would pose a threat to him or something, but in such a vast and dense forest, it would be tough to look for the wolves alone. 

For a moment, he wondered about calling Seven in for help but ultimately decided against it. Inviting him inside would only cause more troubles for Ashton as he would not be able to freely use his [Blood poison] skill. 

"I'll figure something out later, for now, I need to feed."

This time Ashton was a bit hesitant before consuming the flesh of the wolves. It was all gooey and their slimy blood didn't make it look any better either. 

"Things I have to do for the sake of revenge…" Ashton closed his nose and gulped down some of the flesh along with the blood.

A second later Ashton got wide-eyed. The flesh did not look appetizing at all, and yet it was better than any other monster or mutants he had ever tasted. Even their blood was amazing and had a sweet aftertaste.

"The same error again-" 

As Ashton was saying that, he felt as if his insides were getting churned into liquid. He immediately threw up… blood, his own blood. All he could hear was the sizzling sound and the next moment he realise the part where his blood had touched the ground had been scorched black.  The grass and moss there was burned away as if his blood was lava. 

But that was only the beginning. The pain in his abdomen hadn't even subsided when his head started pounding crazily. The pain was too much for him to handle even with his level 8 [Pain Resistance], it was too much. 

Barely a minute had passed since the weird pain took over his body, but he bit his tongue so that he could muffle his painful screams a bit. After what seemed like an eternity, the pain finally lessened enough for Ashton to breathe properly without scratching himself. 

"The hell… was that…" Ashton barely managed to mumble before once again collapsing to the ground. 

The pain might have subsided, but it had clearly taken a toll on his physique. He felt weak and tired but strong at the same time. Which didn't make any sense… until he noticed the system prompt in front of him.
