Chapter 163

I watched as several black spiked hairs short into the wolf's body, making it struggle one more time within my grip before finally giving up and falling prey to its wounds.
I could see that almost 18 meters away stood a wolf with perked up black fur that it shot as spikes, capable of shooting me and turning me into swiss cheese without even batting an eye.
"Another shadow spiked wolf?" I muttered under my breath still didn't lower my guard. Yes, I might have killed this creature before, but it still poses just as much of a threat as it did the first time I met it.
"Sorry..." I let out a wry smile and let go of the corpse I was holding. Before any of the beasts around me could realize what had happened, they watched as a foot landed on the chest of the corpse while launching it towards the shadow spiked wolf.
I could see that the body was slowing down dramatically since the shadow spiked wolf had not stopped shooting from the start, yet that did not matter to me at that very moment.
From behind the incoming corpse, the shadow spiked wolf saw a sudden burst of crimson light before a light darted up into the trees.
With its guard now up, it stopped shooting the corpse and instead looked in my direction. Little did it know that its decision to stop shooting the corpse would have been its last fatal mistake.
The corpse carried enough momentum to finally barge the shadow spiked wolf, making it lose its balance for a split second which was all I needed. In another flash of burning crimson light, I short from branch to branch and tree to tree until finally, I stood on a branch above the shadow spiked wolf.
Seeing that it was still in a state of confusion, I quickly put away my feather blade and grabbed onto my poison spear tightly.
I could feel my heart beating with a new rhythm.
Blood was shooting through my vessels alongside the adrenaline that made me forget about my fears of death.
It was almost like I had tunnel vision.
Everything before me had turned into a target rather than a living being, and the crimson highlights I got from my black and white vision did not help with that matter.
