Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

"Kill these wolf cubs!"

Leo instantly changed the direction of his iron sword, aiming it at the few small, ferocious wolves that were growling and pacing nearby.

Gerdo and Damian immediately understood his intention.

Since we can't catch that cunning male wolf, we'll force it to come back and fight us to the death by killing its cubs!

"kill!"

With a roar, and aided by the Bear Breathing Technique, Gerdo charged into the pack of wolf cubs like a heavy tank.

With a whistling sound, he swung his greatsword fiercely at the nearest wolf cub.

However, something unexpected happened.

The wolf cub, though seemingly small in size, was extremely agile and barely managed to dodge Gerdo's heavy blow.

At the same time, two other wolf cubs flanked him from the side. One bit at Gerdo's ankle, while the other leaped high and pounced on his face.

"What?!" Gerdo exclaimed in shock.

These small, ferocious wolves are not individually strong, but they are extremely agile. When there are many of them and they cooperate with each other, the threat they pose increases dramatically.

Although Gerdo had the advantage in strength, he was caught off guard and overwhelmed by the combined attack of the three wolf cubs.

Watching this scene from afar, the male ferocious wolf's bloodshot eyes gleamed with even stronger mockery.

If its own offspring were so easily killed, why would it allow them to come and support it?

Of these humans, only those two are truly troublesome. These three are lucky to even be able to protect themselves from the attack of eight or nine wolf cubs.

The male ferocious wolf slowly chewed the flesh and blood in its mouth while watching the three people who were surrounded and bewildered by their wolf cubs.

Its injuries are healing, and it won't be long before it returns to its peak condition.

At that time, the other two humans who posed a threat to it will also perish here under the siege.

"Now!"

A cold glint flashed in Leo's eyes.

The speed of these little ferocious wolves was indeed beyond his expectations, and he realized that this was a "trap" set by the male ferocious wolf.

This beast's "cunning" is almost as good as a human's.

Previous observations confirmed the strength of Leo and his two companions, revealing that they lacked the ability to quickly break through the wolf cubs' encirclement.

But how could it know about Leo's unusual nature?

With each breath, the blessing from the Bear Breathing Technique faded, and in its place came the Cat Breathing Technique.

【灵猫呼吸法lv.3】：……开启后，精力消耗提升450%，同时，力量+0.6、体力+0.6、敏捷+1.2、精神+0.6、感知+0.6

Leo's speed suddenly increased dramatically. Combined with his perception of nearly 8 points, these agile little ferocious wolves appeared to him to be more than a beat slower.

[Slide Step]!

Leo moved his feet to avoid the wolf's claws that attacked from his side, and at the same time, he raised the iron sword he was holding with both hands.

The silvery-gray blade reflected the wide-open eyes of a wolf cub.

[Chop!]

The strikes, honed through countless hours of practice, are precise and powerful.

The wolf cub in front of Leo thought it could outmaneuver its prey with its speed advantage, but it didn't expect that the "prey's" speed would suddenly increase and even surpass its own.

The wolf cub, leaping into the air, had no way to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the iron sword, carrying a gust of wind, drew ever closer to its body.

"Pfft!"

The sound of flesh tearing apart rang out.

The ferocious wolf cub in mid-air was cut in half at the waist.

Amidst the splattering of blood, Leo's hands moved swiftly, his iron sword slashing at the wolf cub beside him, who was startled by the sudden turn of events.

"Snap!"

With the sound of bones breaking, another ferocious little wolf perished.

I glanced at the prompts on the panel in front of me out of the corner of my eye.

Killing the two small ferocious wolves increased the experience of the three skills Leo had just used to varying degrees.

[Cleave Lv.5]: 60/1600

[Slide Step lv.5]: 60/1600

[Civet Breathing Technique lv.3]: 146/400

The skill experience for [Slash] and [Slide Step] has increased by 60 each, and the skill experience for [Cat Breathing Technique] has increased by 30.

In total, a small ferocious wolf can provide up to 120 skill experience points (the experience gained from breathing techniques is converted to normal skill experience)!

This number far exceeds that of a normal goblin.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

With the aid of the Cat Breathing Technique, Leo's figure was like an assassin in the shadows. After quickly dealing with the last of the small ferocious wolves that were besieging him, he began to support Gerdo.

His arrival immediately turned the situation into a one-sided affair.

Every swing of Leo's iron sword was accompanied by the scream of a wolf cub and a splatter of blood.

With four wolf cubs falling in succession, the once arrogant wolf pack was instantly thrown into panic.

The remaining wolf cubs whimpered in terror and tried to escape in a panic.

"Awooo—!"

The ferocious wolf in the distance finally couldn't sit still any longer.

The mockery in its eyes had vanished, replaced by overwhelming rage and murderous intent. If it didn't act soon, its cubs would be slaughtered by this human before it!

"roar!"

The male ferocious wolf let out a deafening roar, abandoned the flesh and blood it had not yet finished eating, and with a sudden burst of strength from its four limbs, it charged straight at Leo like a black lightning bolt, carrying a stench and killing intent!

"They're here!"

A glint flashed in Leo's eyes. Without flinching, he charged forward head-on.

"Goldo! Damian! Cooperate with me!"

"Understood!" Gerdo didn't know how Leo had suddenly increased his speed, but in this life-or-death battle, he had no time to think about it. He roared and, barely managing to withstand the drain from the Bear Breathing Technique, raised his greatsword again to face the male wolf head-on.

"Whoosh!" Damian's arrow also shot out, aiming straight for the male wolf's eye.

Although the male wolf was enraged, it did not lose its reason.

It dodged the arrows to the side, and at the same time swatted away Gerdo's greatsword with a claw, the immense force causing Gerdo to stagger backward.

But in that instant, Leo had already reached its side.

The extreme speed brought by the [Cat Breathing Technique], combined with the unpredictable movement of the [Slide Step], allowed Leo to cling to the male wolf like a leech.

The male wolf reacted extremely quickly, its tail sweeping out like a whip.

Leo used his [Slide Step] again, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow. At the same time, using the momentum of his spin, he slashed his iron sword fiercely at the wolf's neck!

[Chop!]

The ferocious look in the wolf's eyes intensified.

It is well aware of the defensive capabilities of its neck area.

It would be extremely difficult for a mere reserve professional to break through with just an ordinary iron sword.

It might be more cautious about the waist area, but the neck...

The male wolf, disregarding everything, had already raised one paw, ready to launch a fatal blow when Leo and the others failed in their attack and were briefly stunned.

Leo saw the ferocious wolf's movements.

But the movements of his hands did not change at all.

He just had a fleeting thought.

——【Mirror Back to the Beginning】!

Both the [Slide Step] and [Cat Breathing Technique] disappeared, transforming into primordial power, which was then poured into the [Slash].

The loss of the [Slide Step] mastery effect and the loss of [Cat Breathing Technique] caused Leo's speed to plummet.

But the next moment, his slashing speed increased instead of decreasing.

Because, with the infusion of the primal power of the two skills, the level 5 [Cleave] skill has broken through to an unprecedented level 6!

If we say that the level 5 job skill is "Mastery".

Therefore, the job skill for level 6 is "Expert"!

It takes immersing oneself in a particular professional skill for ten or even more than a decade to have a chance to reach that level.

The sword pierced flesh, and blood gushed out.

The wolf's tough fur and bones were pierced through by this sword.

The enormous head flew up, its blood-red wolf eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

Its head, suspended in mid-air, let out a weak, unwilling howl before its massive body crashed to the ground, twitched a few times, and then fell silent.

—The ferocious wolf has been defeated!
