Chapter 36 - The Wolf's Fury
Chapter 36 – The Wolf’s Fury
Axel positioned himself between Kevin and the rest of the monsters and simply took the time to remove the scabbard with his swords and throw it at Kevin's feet.
He already knew what was going to happen, full of rage and fury he instantly shapeshifted into his original wolf form.
Sometimes when he lost control of his emotions, shapeshifting was inevitable, but he could still maintain control over his animal instincts.
He wasted no time and decapitated the two elite knight golems with his paws, and again focused all his attention on the dungeon boss who was fighting alongside his best soldiers.
In his wolf form he was more powerful and faster than in his human form, he easily defeated the boss's elite soldiers and he sent them one after the other to Kevin, for him to give them the finishing blow and thus gain experience points.
When the moment finally came to face the Warrior Orc, his growl of fury echoed throughout the room and surely unconsciously the Warrior Orc took a few steps back.
But he recovered quickly and a fierce fight ensued. Kevin still couldn't keep up with their moves when they were at full speed, and he had to take cover as the range of their attacks was very impressive.
Axel's clothes were still laying on the ground torn on all sides, and Kevin had used his swords to deliver the final blows to the poor elite knight orcs he had sent to him and who were already half-dead.
Axel looked hurt, he could see a gash on his right front paw and a bigger gash along his side, a lot of blood was dripping from his injuries.
Kevin was starting to worry seriously when finally he saw Axel grab the throat of the Warrior Orc with his fangs and soon after the System sound echoed in his head and he knew it was to announce the death of the dungeon boss.
Kevin rushed over to Axel and said hastily : "Axel, quickly shapeshift back into your human form, we have to deal with your injuries and fast."
Axel obeyed immediately, as Kevin was safe now, his wolf's fury was appeased and he was able to shapeshift into his human form again.
When Kevin saw that the cut in his thigh was cut open to the bone he couldn't help but swore, and the wound on his side was pretty bad as well.
Kevin didn't think twice, this kind of injuries was beyond his skill, so he opened the holographic screen of his System and chose the menu Store, he thought then to buy healing potions.
[ STORE ]
Healing potion low grade : instantly recovers 10 HP, cost 50 gold coins.
Healing potion medium grade : instantly recovers 100 HP, cost 200 gold coins.
Healing potion high grade : instantly recovers 1 000 HP, cost 800 gold coins.
Healing potion legendary grade : instantly recovers all HP, cost 2 000 gold coins.
They had plenty of money so Kevin didn't check Axel's Stats and he directly purchased a healing potion legendary grade.
When it appeared in his hands he immediately gave it to Axel who drank it without saying anything.
When Axel saw that all of his wounds were gone and that he was feeling perfectly fine he looked at Kevin puzzled and asked him : "It wasn't the healing potion low grade, was it ?"
Kevin did not answer right away, he first checked Axel's body to be sure he was okay.
Then, when he was satisfied he said to him : "Of course not, it was a healing potion legendary grade, it allows you to regenerate all your HP, I found it in the System's Store."
Axel was really astonished and he exclaimed : "This System is so cool ! This means that even at the point of death this potion can heal us instantly."
Kevin nodded and in the meantime he had pulled out a water bottle and a towel to help Axel cleanse himself of all the blood he had on him.
When he was clean and dressed he asked Kevin : "So babe, what did you find ?"
Kevin knew exactly what he wanted to know so he didn't keep him waiting and said : "There's just a high grade box over there, I haven't seen anything else."
Axel chuckled and said : "Why do you look so disappointed, a high grade box is already a reward more than satisfying, let's see that."
This box wasn't hidden but it was in a dark corner and it was completely black, if you didn't approach closer you couldn't see it at all, and actually, they could find it only because they knew that a box was there.
Axel broke his lock and opened it, he waited quietly for Kevin to report back to him, and Kevin's smile widened as he was reading to Axel the information of this box.
[ HIGH GRADE BOX ]
– 12 500 gold coins
– High grade necklace : protect your mind against mental fatigue, + 100% efficiency while you meditate.
– High grade bracelet : + 500 Chakra points, + 20% resistance to magic.
Kevin exclaimed first : "Axel, these are really amazing rewards."
He took the bracelet which looked like a black leather bracelet and put it on Axel's wrist, this bracelet was simple and discreet, it was perfect for him.
Axel then took the necklace, it looked like the silver chain Kevin already had on him except that the chain was made of a metal he didn't recognize, and it was completely black.
He helped Kevin to wear it and asked him : "Does that mean you can meditate without the risk of having a headache now."
Kevin nodded and said : "Not only my mental fatigue issue is resolved, but the particles that I will absorb, will double thanks to that necklace."
Axel sat down against the rock wall and motioned to Kevin to join him, the latter came to join him and Axel made him sit between his legs with his back leaning to him, he then whispered in his ear : "Give me a summary of what you gained with the System by facing these monsters."
Kevin then pouted and said : "I didn't really face them, you just let me kill them."
Axel found him really too cute and he explained to him what had happened : "I'm sorry Kev, my wolf part took over my human part when I saw you fall to your knees, the rage that I felt at that moment was too intense and I couldn't stop anymore the shapeshifting process."
Kevin snuggled into his arms and said : "It's okay, this was the first time I saw you fight in your wolf form and it was really impressive."
Axel kissed his head and caressed his stomach with his hands that he had slipped under his clothes, he asked him again : "So, What did you gain babe ?"
