Chapter 508: Boundary



Chapter 508: Boundary



The bald mercenary stumbled through the dark woods, his eyes glazed over and his movements stiff, as though controlled by an invisible force.

His feet dragged along the uneven ground, the sound of his shuffling footsteps softly echoing around him. His face was devoid of emotion, his expression vacant as if his mind itself had been hollowed out.

Only one directive echoed inside his mind - start walking toward the clearing!

Adam's spell had taken hold completely, bending the man's will to the task at hand: luring the wolves.

As he slowly walked closer to the perimeter of the clearing, a low growl reverberated from in front, growing louder and deeper with each step he took further into the woods.

The man's back was drenched in cold sweat. His instincts screamed at him to turn around and run away, but Adam's spell had completely overridden everything else.

Now, despite the man's unwillingness, he had no choice but to move forward!

The air grew colder and the stench of impending doom assaulted his nostrils. But he seemingly remained unaware, lost in the daze of the enchantment.

Suddenly, the bestial growls erupted into a screeching sound of snarls and roars, as the wolves emerged from the shadows.

Their eyes flashed with feral hunger, locked onto the man who had blatantly made his presence known to them and intruded upon their territory.

In a frenzied rush, they descended upon him, surrounding him from all sides. Adam's spell broke in his final moments, and the man's eyes widened in absolute terror.

"AHHHH-" He screamed in excruciating pain and agony.

But it was too late.

The first wolf lunged at him, its powerful jaws biting down on his arm, severing it cleanly from his body.

Blood sprayed across the damp forest floor as another wolf tore into his leg, dragging him down.

The bald mercenary thrashed about in vain, but his cries of agony were drowned out by the savage growls and the sickening sound of flesh being ripped apart.

The bloodthirsty wolves tore him from limb to limb, their jagged teeth gnashing through bones and flesh with relentless ferocity.

More than a dozen wolves had ganged up on him. His blood pooled around them as they devoured him piece by piece, leaving nothing but scraps of torn clothing and small bone fragments in their wake.

Within minutes, the frenzy subsided. The wolves were momentarily sated. The dark woods fell silent once more.

Just as this pack of wolves was about to turn around and go back to the clearing, a round, glass vial containing a bright orange liquid flew toward them.

The wolves curiously looked at this item. It wasn't until the vial shattered on the ground, its orange liquid seeping out, that the wolves finally sensed the great danger they were in.

But it was too late.

BOOM!

A large explosion completely enveloped the beasts, drowning them in a sea of fire. They didn't even have enough time to escape the blast radius as they were instantly killed by the explosion.

The explosion was so strong that nothing remained of the wolves after the fires had died down.

Aiden, who was standing on a branch of a nearby tree, glanced at the small black crater that had just formed as a result of him throwing the potion.

He couldn't help but involuntarily gulp, thinking to himself, That small potion took out more than a dozen wolves in one go?! Im-Impossible! Just what kind of potion did Professor concoct?

Not just him, but all of Adam's squad members, who had hidden themselves on the top branches of the nearby trees, were dumbfounded by the power of the potion.

However, they didn't have too long to dwell on their shocked emotions as the next pack of feral wolves immediately arrived after hearing the loud explosions.

This time, the numbers were twice as many.

BOOM!!

But they too met the same fate.

Kenley sent a mental transmission to all the squad members, 'Hurry, change positions! Stick to Lord Constantine's plan!'

Everyone solemnly nodded before jumping from one branch to another, slowly leaving the place and arriving at a different location near the clearing.

Meanwhile, the wolves who had followed the sounds of the explosions arrived at this place, but all they saw was a sea of fire. No other person was in sight.

...

At the same time, Adam had already moved into the large clearing, standing amidst countless wolves. Compared to last time, the number of wolves seemed to have increased by twice.

There should be at least a thousand wolves here, he thought to himself. Just how did they manage to get so many beasts? Did all the wolves of the Weeping Woods arrive here?

Although he was standing in the midst of so many wolves, none of them were able to sense him. He had already made sure to completely conceal himself.

He looked around the clearing and wondered, Are we the first one to attack? Heh, the others are probably shocked to see the sheer number of beasts.

Right at that moment, he sensed that his squad members had taken up new positions. He turned around and his gaze pierced the dark woods in front of him, his lips slowly curling up

into a smirk.

Alright, time for a grand explosion!

He weaved a series of complex hand gestures, causing a magic circle to light up underneath his feat on a large scale. Then, he raised both his arms, as if commanding something to arise.

Rank 2 Spell: Great Wall!

The ground rumbled intensely as if a massive earthquake had arrived out of nowehere. Gradually, a towering wall close to twenty meters emerged from the ground that separated a portion of the clearing from the rest.

Within this large boundary, approximately hundred wolves were now trapped!

Adam, who was standing at the base of the wall, suddenly lifted his right leg and stomped it down on the ground.

Rank 1 Spell: Shape Earth!

Rank 1 Spell: Grease!

The ground underneath rippled and formed large waves like that in the ocean. The hundreds of wolves trapped inside lost their balance and fell to the ground, bathed in a black, oil-like

substance.

Adam then jumped toward the top of the Great Wall. Upon landing, he saw that Art, Eleiney, Aiden, Kenley, Ragnar, and the two mercenaries had already taken up their positions on the

wall.

He raised his hand as his lips slowly curled up into a cold smile. Then, he gave out his

command as he swung his hand downward.

"Reduce them to ashes!"
