Re; Hell Gate

Chapter 6 : Invincible

With no time to waste, Leiu dashed between the trees and bushes while breathing heavily, he knew that his stamina was depleted quickly in that hard fight, unlike with the big rabbit, which he kited and attacked without being hit, against the wolf, he barely won, he received a bloody wound too, it's fortunate he got a Health Potion, or else the blood would attract more beasts.

While running and keeping an eye on his behind, Leiu never stopped, but even after 5 minutes, he could still hear the howls of 3 wolves, chasing after him, what was worse is that the distance is shortening by the second, they were very persistent and didn't give up even after chasing him for a couple of minutes.

Moreover, Leiu's clothes were filled with blood from the injury, and that precisely attracted the wolves and made them chase him even more, the smell made them even hungrier, he also killed their comrade, so there is no way they would stop chasing him.

Two more minutes passed, Leiu finally stopped running, the distance between them shortened by a huge margin, they were 100 or so meters away, their running could be heard from his location, and so the only way to save himself is to fight them, but he wasn't going to fight them head-on, that was impossible and dumb, he had to use his environment and act cleverly.

...

The 3 dark wolves chased after the enemy for some time now, the blood smell coming out of him allowed them to be able to chase him easily, but suddenly, he seemed to stop running, the wolves may be clever creatures, but by no means did they have an intelligence equal to humans, him stopping didn't make them feel suspicious or anything of the sort.

One wolf who was the closest finally arrived near the smell, it first stopped a couple of meters away from it, then sneakily advanced and jumped from a nearby bush toward the smell, since it was a thick forest and with many bushes and high trees, it couldn't see the enemy with its eyes, but it had confidence in its sense of smell.

However, what faced it was only ragged and bloodied cloth, it was on the ground and reeked of blood, the wolf dumbly stared at it, but suddenly, it felt an intense pain in its back, it stumbled for a bit, but the pain became more and more intense, it felt a presence on its back so it tried to shake it off, but to no avail, the more it moved, the more the pain intensified.

..

Leiu used his cloth as a mean to lure the wolf, then he climbed a high tree and waited for the wolf, even without the cloth, they could track him, but his cloth was full of blood so their attention would probably be focused on the cloth because of the strong smell.

The good thing is that his guess was correct, a wolf tried to sneak on him and jumped on the cloth, so Leiu took the moment of confusion to jump from the tree at the Wolf, with the force of gravity and all his strength, the sword went deep into the wolf's back, which is a good thing, more than half its health bar disappeared.

Leiu grinned and took out the Steel Sword from the deep wound, but that wasn't the end, he stabbed again on the same place, making blood gush out endlessly, it poured on his hands, feet, and face making him look horrible, with his grin, he looked like a demon, however, he didn't care, his whole focus was on the wolf.

It tried shaking him off from its back but it was useless as it soon laid on the ground, motionless and soundless, all it took him is 3 more stabs, his health decreased by 3 probably because of the wolf's slamming and moving around when he was on its back, but it was worth it as he got rid of another one yet again.

Level up! All stats (+1)

As he saw this, he was a bit delighted, he didn't focus on the early messages, but now he knew that he was at least Level 10, so he felt proud and delighted, but the fight was not over yet, there was still 2 remaining wolves, but courage and confidence filled him when he killed this wolf, if he could kill this one, then what's stopping him from killing the other 2? None!

With that thought in mind, he looted the wolf and disappeared from that place yet again, fortunately, the wolves were not close to each other, or else he would have died when he attacked the first one.

...
You obtained Wolf Fangs

+47 coppers

Beginner Gloves : +1 Vitality

After a lot of struggle and schemes, Leiu managed to get rid of the two remaining wolves the same way he did with the first one, it was hard but worth it.

His appearance was pathetic and scary right now, blood-covered him from head to toe, his Steel Sword was also bloodied and only had 2 durabilities left, it clashed with the wolf's hard skin many times so that's to be expected, it's just fortunate that it didn't break in mid-fight or else, he would surely have perished.

Leiu was extremely tired, a lot of his stamina was used climbing, attacking sneakily, jumping, dashing, but for some reason, he felt happy, proud and more delighted than ever, for him, this accomplishment was something none could do, yet he did it alone.

He rested 30 minutes, and in those 30 minutes, he checked the message log to see his previous messages that he ignored and see his items, money and of course stats.

....
Apart from the title, nothing else was interesting, Leiu was joyous when he saw that title's effect, he usually fought monsters higher Level than him, so that was a permanent increase for him, without hesitation, he equipped it.

Invincible title equipped!

Then he equipped that glove, although it only added vitality, it was better than nothing, after doing that, he opened his status window to check the changes.

Stamina: 23/23

As he gazed at his stats, he couldn't help but feel elated, in just 5 hours or so, he managed to become Level 10, maybe others reached that too, and maybe a lot of them too.

At first, Leiu wanted to be amongst the top Level players, but now, he didn't want that, he wanted to learn how to fight well, that's why he spent so many hours fighting Bees and Rabbits, and it would be a big fat lie to say all that didn't help him.

Quite the opposite, in fact, it helped him greatly, so much that his senses and reflexes became extraordinary, but the thing he didn't know is that he was an absolute genius in fighting, much like an 'inborn fighter', it's like this game was made for him. Leiu thought that everyone would be able to adapt like him but that's not true.

Well, to be completely honest, the game's system did facilitate the fighting but it also gave a lot of freedom for the player to attack and dodge however he or she wants.
