Limits. Limits Chapter 43

We ran through the forest at night . I tried to follow the general direction of the path we were supposed to take . I could hear the howls behind me . Judging by the amount of howls the wolves produced, they would number to at least 20 . That was a large pack and it would be difficult to fight all these wolves . There was a large probability we would survive but 20 was the lowest estimate . The number could even reach 40 and the one very distinctive howl I heard from time to time was the most worrying .

We ran like this for an hour and I could still hear some howls in a far distance . I said to Sh.e.l.ly "We have to get away much further . Otherwise too many problems can arise" . Sh.e.l.ly looked tired but still nodded its head . We traveled for another 30 minutes and the howls now were very distant and low in number . I said to Sh.e.l.ly "Rest here . I think we are far enough for the wolves to not catch up" . Although wolves were adapted to running and survival in the forest but a full speed chase would no doubt tire out most if not all wolves in that pack .

I sat down next to Sh.e.l.ly and rested a bit . Sh.e.l.ly was quite weak because it over exerted itself . I needed to find some animals for it to feed on 'Where would I find some animals at night?' I thought .

My thoughts were disturbed by a loud howl that sounded not very far away from our location . I got up and immediately listened to my surroundings . After awhile, I could hear some noises coming from the direction that we came from .

Then I noticed a large wolf . It was about twice the size of normal wolf and it had silver grey fur . The wolf noticed me as well and after howling once more, it pounced at me . I wasn't scared of just one wolf but this one must've been the leader of the pack . Either way, I mobilised my daggers and threw one after the other at the wolf . The wolf managed to dodge one dagger, then another and finally the 3rd one finally hit the target .

*Cling*

I was dumbfounded . The dagger just bounced off producing sparks . Normally this throw would kill a normal wolf, yet this one had no injuries . The wolf was getting closer and it was quite fast but not as fast as I was . I pounced at the wolf as well, with a dagger in each hand .

In seconds, I was metres away from the wolf . I calculated it's next actions and evaded to the left then slashed my dagger at its throat while spinning and slas.h.i.+ng my other dagger at its belly . When my first dagger connected the only thing that it achieved was more sparks . 'It seems to have metallic fur!' I thought and when my 2nd dagger connected, it finally managed to wound the wolf .

"Awooo!"

The wolf howled . I now knew it's weak point, which was it's belly . I stabilised my footing and pounced at the wolf that was crying in pain again . I aimed both of my daggers at the wolf's belly and slashed . Two more wounds were inflicted on its belly but not without a price . The wolf in rage rammed me with its head .

The impact was so strong that I flew a few metres back . I was quite shocked 'What type of strength is this?' I thought to myself and picked myself up . I wasn't unscaved eaither, Although nothing broke, I felt a lot of pain nevertheless . The wolf in anger pounced at me again . I readied my daggers and awaited it's next move . When the wolf was close, I again evaded it's attack and slashed with my daggers at its belly .

The wolf howled again and wanted to ram me but I wouldn't be stupid enough to do the same mistake . I rolled to the side and attacked again . The wolf surprisingly was also quite cunning and so my attack failed . What welcomed me was the wolf's tail . I evaded it and the tail hit the tree behind me . When I saw what happened to that tree, I was shocked . 'This guy's tail is like a sword, it almost cut the tree in half!' I screamed in my mind .

When I saw what happened to that tree, I was shocked . 'This guy's tail is like a sword, it almost cut the tree in half!' I screamed in my mind .

Because the wolf had to turn away from me in order to swing its tail at me, I now had a chance to do whatever I wanted because the wolf's vision lost me for a moment . I hid in the wolf's blind spot and suddenly attacked it's belly again .

This time the wolf fell down and howled in pain . I didn't give it any chances to stand up and slashed multiple times at it's belly . After such a barrage of attacks, the wolf finally died . I was exhausted . I opened up the wolf's belly and took out all the intestines, then I took some meat and brought it to Sh.e.l.ly .

Sh.e.l.ly looked quite pitiful and when it smelled the meat it instantly gobbled it up . I went back to the wolf and extracted more meat . I repeated this process until half of the wolf's meat was eaten by Sh.e.l.ly . Then I started the fire and cooked the meat . I had to eat something as well . I was already exhausted . One and a half hour of running then fight with this monster, spent a lot of my energy .

I cooked large portions of meat over the fire and ate like it was my first time eating meat . Sh.e.l.ly came over and also wanted more . I gave it some more . This monster weighted at least 100 kilograms, when I was taking out the meat, I noticed that the fur was still very st.u.r.dy and hard to cut . I decided to extract some fur and use it for my clothing later .

It was hard to skin the wolf because the fur would just give out sparks when I tried to cut it with my dagger . I had to cut it from the inside and then the fur separated easily . I cleaned up the fur and rolled it into a bundle . I turned towards Sh.e.l.ly and said "Can you carry this around?" it was a turtle after all and had quite big sh.e.l.l so I wanted to know . The fur was quite heavy about 15 kilograms and that was after I cleaned it .

Sh.e.l.ly didn't seem to like the idea of transporting my stuff around but it nodded it's head in the end . I didn't want Sh.e.l.ly to think I'm using it for cheap labour so I said "When we do dinner tomorrow, I will cook more meat for you, how about that as a treat?" Sh.e.l.ly nodded it's head in agreement .

We went back onto our path a traveled for another couple of hours with breaks of course, until I found another suitable place to spend the night at . The next day, late in the morning . I woke up and stretched myself . The night was quite eventful but other than the encounter with the wolf, nothing else happened .

I woke up Sh.e.l.ly and said "Alright, it's time to move now . I think we will be at our destination at about evening" . Sh.e.l.ly got up and followed after me . We ran through the forest at night .
