Chapter 164 Fighting the red eyed wolf
[1 kill, +10 mp]
Two of the scorpions were already dead, their bodies lying still and lifeless in the sand.
The other two had been wounded in the battle, their bodies immobilized and twitching in the aftermath of the fight.
They were still alive, though barely, their remaining life force dwindling away as their bodies struggled to recover from the wounds that I had inflicted.
With a purposeful stride, I approached the nearest immobilized scorpion. Its body was still, its limbs splayed out in a lifeless sprawl.
It was a pathetic sight, a creature that had once been a force to be reckoned with now reduced to little more than a dying husk.
I raised my sword into the air, the blade gleaming in the desert sun.

With a single, swift stroke, I brought the sword down onto the scorpion's head, the steel biting deep into the creature's skull with a sickening crunch.
[1 kill, +10 mp]
I moved swiftly across the sand, my footfalls light and sure as I navigated the desert terrain.
My target was the scorpion that I had flung against the wall earlier, its body still slumped against the rocks where it had been hurled.
As I approached the scorpion, I lifted my sword once more, the weapon feeling natural and comfortable in my grasp.
With a single, precise stroke, I plunged the blade into the scorpion's head, piercing through its chitinous armor with ease.
[1 kill, +10 mp]
The sand beneath my feet was littered with scorpion bodies, a testament to my prowess and skill in combat.
Four kills, each one executed with precision and efficiency.
It had taken some time, but I had been patient, using my understanding of the desert and the creatures that inhabited it to gain an advantage in the battle.
As I stood over the bodies of my fallen foes, I felt a sense of satisfaction wash over me.
The adrenaline rush of the fight had faded, replaced by a calm and steady confidence in my abilities.
My sword arm was strong, my muscles loose and relaxed, ready for whatever lay ahead.
With the scorpions defeated, my attention now shifted to the other beasts that lurked in the desert.
My eyes scanned the horizon, searching for any signs of movement or danger.
As my gaze swept across the dunes, I caught sight of a lone red eye wolf in the distance.
With a flick of my wrist, I sent a windslash hurtling towards the wolf.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The wolf moved with impressive speed and agility, its powerful muscles propelling it away from the windslash's trajectory with a swift leap.
The creature tumbled through the sand, skidding to a stop a few feet away from the spot where the windslash had landed.
Snarllll~
The wolf snarled and bared its teeth, the fangs glistening in the scorching desert sun.
The creature's eyes were focused and intense, its red gaze sweeping the barren landscape in search of the one who had dared to attack it.
With a flourish of my sword, I caught the wolf's attention, the blade shimmering in the desert sun as I waved it before the creature's eyes.
The wolf's gaze snapped to me, its red eyes locking onto mine with a feral intensity.
The snarling and growling ceased, replaced by a low, dangerous rumble deep in the creature's chest.
Its lips curled back, revealing its gleaming fangs as it let out a deafening snarl of anger.
Its hackles were raised, its powerful body poised and ready to launch itself into the attack.
The wolf crouched lower, its ears flattened against its skull as it prepared to strike.
The muscles in its hind legs tensed, coiled like springs as it readied itself for the attack.
Howllll~
With a fierce howl, the wolf launched itself towards me, its powerful legs pumping as it charged across the sand in a blur of crimson fur.
In the split second before the wolf reached me, I deftly sidestepped its charge, pivoting with expert agility.
The wolf's teeth and claws snapped and swiped at the air where I had stood only moments before
It landed with a snarl of frustration, its fur bristling with anger as it recovered from its failed attack.
Its eyes were alight with fury, its gaze fixed on me with an unbridled hatred.
"You'll have to move faster than that, wolf," I taunted, swirling my sword in a mocking gesture.
The wolf's eyes blazed with fury at my insolence, its ears pinned back against its skull.
"Come on, wolf," I goaded, my voice laced with confidence and amusement. "Let's see what you've got."
The wolf let out a furious growl, its body trembling with rage as it prepared to launch itself at me once again.
It charged forward, its powerful muscles propelling it across the desert sands with incredible speed.
Its eyes were fixed on me, its jaws wide and dripping with saliva as it prepared to sink its teeth into my flesh
I allowed the wolf to come within inches of me before deftly evading its charge.
With a smooth and precise movement, I ducked to the side, narrowly avoiding the creature's snapping jaws and razor-sharp claws.
The wolf's momentum carried it past me, its momentum sending it tumbling across the sand as it struggled to regain its footing
As the wolf tumbled past me, its body suspended in mid-air, I seized my opportunity.
I drove my sword into the creature's exposed side, the blade piercing through the wolf's flesh with a sickening squelch.
The wolf's momentum was halted by the sudden impact, its body twisting and convulsing as it struggled to come to terms with the shock of the blow.
But I was relentless, pushing the blade deeper into the wolf's body with a powerful thrust of my arm.
The wolf's howl was a soul-shattering cry of agony, its body trembling and shuddering as I twisted the blade in its flesh.
Its eyes were wide with pain and terror, its body writhing in a helpless dance of death as I slowly withdrew the blade from its side.
