Book 3 – Into The Wild
Chapter 9 – His First Time
Zax banged his punches against the white and silver mantle of the canines’ formation. He threw tens of kicks and punches since the canines retreated to contain him until reinforcement will arrive.
BANG!
The mist energy of the canines depleted faster after his attacks and the wave of energy did not have the power anymore the shove Zax back.
“Hold!” The wolf boss commanded the members of his pack.
“Boss, this is too insane!” One of the canines responded.
“Boss, is that boy truly a human?” Another asked.
“It’s beyond what I heard about body refinement techniques!”
“Of course it is!” The wolf boss answered. “This human trains in the most powerful body refinement technique! Now, enough talks! Conserve for the formation!”
BANG!
Just as the boss wolf finished talking, Zax follow up kick broke through the mantle and hit one of the canines in his rib cage. Crackling sounds came out from the canine’s upper body and blood sprouted from his jaw.
“Spread out!” The wolf boss had no choice. The instant a link in the formation broke the time to repair it was long in comparison to the time it would take for Zax to escape and the cost of mist energy will be spent for nothing.
WUSH!
Zax dashed out of the formation. Turning around he saw the canine he kicked lying on the ground, somehow still conscious. The other canines created a blockage, this time around the cave’s entrance and Zax was in between.
Zax interest in his ability to contend against the canines subsided. “Previously you didn’t let me in, now you don’t let me out”. He was amused.
The wolf boss lowered his stance to what seemed to be preparation for attack or escape and his pack members done the same.
“That’s it for me”. Zax announced, turned his back to the canines and idly strolled into the long tunnel.
The murderous gaze of the wolf boss watched Zax back in fixation. His intention was to stay and wait for reinforcement, even if it meant prolonging this dangerous battle. However if the human boy chose to enter the cave, that will be good as well.
‘How long it will take, we wait for you human, and then let’s see if your body refinement technique can stand against a captain!’
Zax watched in disbelief. The man lay dead. And his own hand was covered by the bony pieces of his skull and blood.
