Chapter 55

However, those howls of pain only captured my attention for a split second since it was only then that I realized that the fur on the wolf was becoming sharper and more jagged than it was before.

'Crap!'

My eyes darted around to find any escape route, yet there was none.

Even if I were to try and run to the nearest tree, I was sure that the wolf would have used its final attack, one that I would not be capable of running away from no matter how far I were to go.

As long as I was within range, I would die a horrible and gruesome death that would have left me as a corpse with as many holes as swiss cheese, if not more.

There was only one way I could survive now, and it was either to try and push down on the eye socket even more than I had already done, or...

A realization hit me, making me quickly take out my stake before putting my weight on my heel and twirling to the front as fast as I could while also gaining momentum.

When I found myself in front of the wolf, I stabbed in an upward motion where I would be aiming for the area below its chin.

I knew trying to stab it from within the mouth would be near impossible as the wolf could have simply closed its mouth and I would be forced to say goodbye to my second hand and most likely die of blood loss since I would have no way to stop the bleeding.

Instead, aiming for below the chin would have been much more successful even though it might seem slightly harder.

The stake was just long enough to pierce the entire head, but for some reason, I could never hit the right angle whenever I tried to pierce the wolf's brain through its eyes so now I simply resorted to using all the power left in my to stab it from below.

With a final push, my hand moved at a blurring speed, planting the stake through the bottom jaw and even reaching the upper jaw, but no matter how much power I tried to put into it, it simply didn't go any further.

In a last-ditch effort to survive, I threw my hand back landed it on the floor, and kicked up both my legs hitting them into the butt of the stake, allowing it to finally shoot through the upper jaw and into its brain, causing it to finally die.
