YM778.TV Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Scolded
"Hahahahahaha!" It was his master Apollo hysterically laughing.
"I see this armor is good" The boy only smiled while looking at the beast in front of him.
The alpha\'s instincts kicked him telling him to let go however he couldn\'t as soon as he tried to move he suddenly felt a massive pain, and this distracted him for a moment. That brief second was all the boy needed lightning spark from his hand as he stuck the front legs of the beast.
"Argh!" Instead of the alpha, it was Apollo who winced in pain. He felt as if he punched a sturdy wall he wasn\'t even sure if he heard something crack in his fist or maybe somewhere in his back.
"I already packed an attribute increase for that punch yet it still hurts," he thought while stepping back to the side.
The surge of electricity was enough to momentarily paralyse the beast and Bulan took it as his signal to attack. Mana reinforces the fur of the spirit wolf aiding strength with his defense with this he won\'t feel pain once he strikes the beast, unlike Apollo who almost broke his hand.
"Enchant!" Apollo added a buff on Bulan increasing both his speed and strength.
Raising his long and reinforced sharp claws the spirit wolf aimed at the beast\'s leg, it was the same leg Apollo had struck before.
"PANG!" The sound resembles metals being hit together.
As soon as the attack happened Apollo recalled Bulan he knew that after that one strike, the alpha would be about to move again.
"BOOM!"
The ground shook and Apollo was glad he recalled Bulan to his side if not he would be struck by that skill Wind Howl.
[Warning Creator the alpha is about to activate his bloodline ability]
"Wait he has one?"
[Apologies Creator I was only able to sense it now when he was about to use it.]
[Warning Creator you must retreat for now I am currently scanning a massive energy similar to a level 20 General rank]
"Calm down....."
He wasn\'t able to finish what he was about to say when an energy struck him.
"Hear it comes" he smiled feeling the massive energy from the Ivory wolf alpha.
A yellow aura began to envelop the beast while his eyes glowed with amber light.
"I am real unlucky"
The boy could only say not looking nervous or scared.
"Jeremiah give me his stats"

"Wow, he cancels the debuff and uses it to increase his stats... I am impressed"
"GRRRR!"
The boy\'s nonchalant reaction was agitating the alpha of the ivory wolf pack. For a tiny human he was bold he was just smiling without care. Even with him releasing the power of his bloodline it wasn\'t enough to make the boy scared.
"Aren\'t you going to attack?" The boy asked.
This question irritated the beast he was an alpha, beast even humans felt scared just thinking of entering his territory but this boy dared to mock him.
"You will regret this!" He howls releasing a powerful wind attack. Unlike his previous attacks, this one looks like a tornado ravaging everything in its way. Dust kicked off while the ground became misshaped.
"Activate!" The boy just said and a tri-colored magic circle emerged.
No more debuff and buffing spells what was inside those scrolls were defensive spells. A huge barricading barrier emerges from the ground shielding Apollo from the attack.
However "CRACK!"
The shield is breaking bit by bit the fissures on its surface are expanding looking like a web made by a spider. However, Apollo wasn\'t worried about his body the armor he was wearing started to glow.
"So they added a mechanism that automatically empowers the armor... impressive"
"Master!"
"I know.."
"CRACK!"
Soon enough cracks became bigger eventually leading to the barrier\'s destruction.
"BOOM!"
The powerful wind attack went straight to the boy, however, as soon as it hit him the surrounding mana turned into a barrier blocking the attack.
The skill the Light of Aegis takes effects making the surrounding mana solidify. However, this skill is still a level C against an AA skill, "CRACK!"
The mana solidified shield broke much faster than the one from the scroll. Apollo then directly received the attack.
Gold patterns suddenly emerge from the nano armor indicating its activation, with its force it was able to decrease the amount of power from the attack.
However just like the previous defense Apollo had put up it didn\'t stand a chance against an attack from a General rank beast.
The boy smirked as he felt his body break from the tornado-like attack.
For him, physical pain is better than an emotional one, because physical pain can be seen and heals after time however an emotional one stays and is sometimes impossible to forget.
"Jeremiah do it" he whispered his body battered with wounds.
[On it Creator]
Suddenly the seemingly endless barrage of wind ended.
"Ahh...that was painful"
Apollo merely said walking towards the beast who was currently lying on the ground.
"How does it feel receiving your attack ten times the strength"
Before the fight began Apollo ordered Jeremiah to synthesize his two skills, Reflecto mirror and Tenfold.
Since the two skills have similarities Apollo decided to combine them, and two rank C skills turn into rank B.
Mirror Tenfold (Rank B) {Active} - Return ten times the attacks of opponents it may be a spell or physical attack.
"I used other resources to turn a percent into times... conversion really is energy consuming" he added.
"Bulan finished him"
The spirit wolf who disappeared reappeared again. Surprisingly he has been gathering his strength since the time the alpha wolf began fixating towards the boy.
"GRRR"
The alpha growls trying to stand up but can\'t his legs are wounded. The bite he did on Apollo came back to him ten times more now he can\'t move.
"Bulan don\'t waste any more time....we need to leave"
They have caused quite a ruckus and he was certain a more powerful beast might arrive.
His wind spirit wolf Bulan obeyed, and he immediately reinforced his claws using them to dig into the flesh of the alpha.
Huge screams echo throughout the forest making all nearby beasts escape. The body of the Ivory wolf alpha, tried to resist as his body began twitching however soon enough he drew his last breath.
[Congratulations Creator you have killed a General rank beast]
"Enough just absorb already" he had no time to joke as his body was covered with wounds.
"Master we must leave immediately"
"Right let\'s bring the body first"
Apollo approached the body and thought of something.
"Bulan can you find where the beast core is?"
"The core? I am sorry master I can\'t sense whether or not this beast has one"
Apollo was about to be disappointed, [Creator at the head]
Happy the boy took a knife and eagerly tried to open the head of the wolf.
"Bulan could you do it I just couldn\'t muster any strength right now"
Realizing he could not even hold the knife properly Apollo just asked Bulan exasperatedly the spirit wolf complied.
"Master we really should leave I could sense danger is coming" After digging through the head of the beast Bulan finally suggested.
"Okay let\'s go!"
Hopping at Bulan\'s back the spirit wolf immediately took off.
"Jeremiah our traces"
[On it Creator]
"Master, may I ask why did you have to make that kind of a risky move? You could have taken a much safer tactic to eliminate the enemy"
"Bulan didn\'t I tell you, we came back so I could test the limits of this armor"
"However that was dangerous master you can\'t just risk your life to test one of your curiosities"
"Alright I won\'t do that again"
While lying at the back of the wolf Apollo stares blankly at the core.
"It\'s beautiful" he could only say.
[ Creator please fix yourself we are about to get inside the wizard tower\'s territory]
"Right I forgot"
With Jeremiah\'s warning, Apollo took a spare hunting armor he had then he took a potion to lightly elevate his pale-looking face.
"How do I look?"
"It\'s okay master"
[It\'s decent]
"Right maybe Mom won\'t really mind what I did"
He said however as soon as he arrived at the tower\'s gate he saw his mother Isabella.
"Mom?"
However, instead of being happy, the boy knew he should run because, in her mother\'s hand, a long stick was already aiming for him.
"Master it seems we have a more scarier enemy than a general rank beast"
"Yeah I agree"
