The pine trees scattered all around them seemingly dyed in white, while the ground they stepped on was covered in finger-thick snow.
The destination of their journey was 5 miles away from their warm and cozy campsite.
According to the Djin, there should be hundreds mutated creatures around this area.
After thirty minutes of walking through the Siberian wilderness, they arrived at a river flanked by two plateaus. A thick forest and a pack of three-meters-tall black bears with blue eyes could be seen from across the river. Behind their back and arms, there was an abundance of red feathers.
[Mutated Siberian Bear - Level 60 ]
[Battle power - 75 ]
Viktor's eyes seemed to open wide when he saw those forms. The mutated bear looked different from the one he had fought before. Then, he counted how many there were on the riverbank.
Realizing something was amiss, Viktor whispered, "Djinn, you said there would be hundreds of creatures, I only see 12 bears here,"
<Kekeke, there are still a lot of monsters across the forest.>
Victor nodded upon hearing that. He checked his status while in the [Metal Fusion] state.
[Strength - 73 (88)]
[Agility - 112 (127)]
[Endurance - 73 (88)]
[Battle Power - 86 (101)]
He turned to Jessie and Liza who had been waiting for his instructions.
"Remember, our goal here is farming. So, don't use all your strength if the situation isn't urgent, got it?"
Jessie and Liza nodded in response. Seeing this, Viktor smiled. After that, the three of them ran down through the thick snow and started attacking the mutated bears pack.
An orb floated above Jessie's hand, which quickly shoots out a lightning bolt, striking two bear monsters that seemed to be hunting fishes on the riverbank.
Blast!
The two bears hit by Jessie's attack quickly fell. Of course, the attack just now didn't kill them. Instantly, they got up and the other bears who saw their comrades being attacked turned to trio.
"Roargh!"
The bear let out a roar and charged. But Liza had shot off first, with Ice Claw forming from her fingertips.
Liza faced three mutated bears alone. Even though she was outnumbered, she seemed to be the one holding the advantage.
Jessia didn't want to lose. Another bolt of lightning once again struck the bears. This time, the strike was not from the orb in her hand, but from the thick clouds in the sky.
Blast!
Four bears roared in pain. Those who were struck by lightning were unable to move due to the effect of the high voltage. Without wasting this opportunity, Liza switched targets and tore apart the electrocuted bears.
Splat–!
As blood was showering down on her, Liza's body was covered in blood. Jessie did the same to the remaining bears, and then Liza executed them.
Meanwhile, Viktor just watched from the side. It's not that he didn't want to help, but he wanted to see the progress of his two companion, especially Jessie who has reached the Sky Realm stage.
As for Liza, Viktor believes she is strong enough. He didn't need to doubt a Primordial Half-Blood. But from his experience, Liza will only turn strong and deadly when Eva is in danger. However, after seeing this, Viktor didn't have to worry anymore.
As Viktor smiled at Jessie's and Liza's performance, Djinn suddenly gave information.
<There are 30 Level 70 monsters lurking from behind the forest.>
Voktor's attention then focused on the forest across the river. A herd of wolves, measuring 5-meters-high, stood watching them from far.
[Direwolf]
[Abyss creature - Tier 3]
[Battle power 75]
Upon seeing their presence, Viktor's lips broke into a smile. If it was this pack of wolves that he met 2 months ago, he and the rest of his group would have died, but not now.
For Viktor, this is a good time to try his newest moves.
"There is a prey waiting for us, let's attack!" Viktor exclaimed.
Then, the three of them dashed through the wide frozen river. The direwolves who witnessed them coming didn't stay still, one of them howled at the sky.
A pack of direwolves rapidly ran down the plateau. Seeing this, Viktor quickly stopped when the wolves started to attack. He took out some Tier 1 Metal from his Storage Ring.
"Time to try my new spell [Metal Minion]."
Not long after, the Tier 1 metal turned into five child-sized Iron Dolls. Looking at the shapes of his minions, Viktor felt strange, but at the same time, he wondered what they could do.
Meanwhile, Jessie, who saw the creature created by Viktor's summon, teased him.
"Uuu~ how cute. It turns out that young master has this kind of taste."
Then Djinn's voice entered Viktor's head.
<Kekeke, materials and proficiency with spells affect the number and form of minions>
But Viktor had no more time to complain. By now, the direwolf herd was getting closer.
"Let's attack!" said Viktor firmly.
This time, Viktor was with five minions, telling them to advance first, and in his hands, now held two Tier 2 axes.
Dozens of direwolves pounced on Viktor, but instead they quickly turned into minced meat.
Splat! Splat!
[You have received the spirit energy of direwolf]
[You have received 1 point on Strength]
[You have received 1 point on Spirit Force]
Notifications popped up in Viktor's head. The bonus stats he got after killing the direwolves for the first time.
Meanwhile, his minions seemed to surround a direwolf. Rather than a proper fighting force, they were more of a distraction. The direwolf was like being bullied by five small children.
Seeing the sight, Viktor couldn't help but sigh as he swung his two large axes, slashing at the direwolf herd.
"Uwaarh!"
Suddenly, a scream was heard coming from Jessi. Viktor quickly turned around to see five direwolves surrounding her. Because his five minions are not very effective in attacking, Viktor then ordered his minions to help Jessie.
They quickly ran to Jessie who was in the rear. The direwolves who surrounded Jessi were immediately struck by the metal minions.
Seeing this opportunity, Jessie let out a bolt of lightning and slashed at the direwolves whom surrounded her, accompanied by Viktor's minion. Since the minions are made of metal, they are not affected by Jessie's attacks like the direwolves do.
After Viktor sensed Jessie was safe, his gaze shifted to Liza.
Liza looked bloodied all over, slaughtering the direwolves with her ice claw. Ten direwolves alone were slaughtered single-handedly. It was like witnessing the sight of a lion hunting a flock of sheep.
"Jessie already has a protector. There's no need to worry about Liza. I can finally fight freely!"
Viktor smiled as he was surrounded by a few direwolves. Swinging his hands, he quickly slaughtered all of them without breaking a sweat.
Slash! Slash! Splat—!
Ten dead direwolf killed instantly.
[You have received 1 point on Strength]
[You have received 1 point on Agility]
Each swing of the ax slashed through a direwolf like a hot knife through butter. The direwolf's body was split in two as the surrounding snow turned red with blood.
Thud!
The last direwolf was knocked down by Jesie's lightning strike.
"Huh… they're all dead in the end." said Jessi as she sat on the snow. Meanwhile, the minions were still standing around Jessie, guarding her.
But Viktor was still standing.
"Jessie, if you don't want to suffer the same fate as this direwolf, you better get up quickly."
From behind the metal mask that covered his face, Viktor looked straight at the forest. There stood a line of direwolves who stared at the three of them with hateful eyes.
[Direwolf - Abyss Creatures - 95]
"Ouuh!"
Hundreds of wolves descended the plateau like a flood. The snow began to shake from their movements.
Jessie stood up quickly, looking worried about their number. However, Victor is the opposite.
Out of the air, two five meter long chains instantly appeared after Viktor cast [Chain Strike]. He then fused it with his two axes on his hands.
ραпdα Йᴏνê|(сòm) "You two don't come near me. It's dangerous for you to fight beside me."
After that, Viktor dashed into the crowd of direwolf alone.
As they began to clash, Viktor shouted confidently, "Eat this!"
Viktor spun the chains wrapped around his axes over his head. The two axes whirled like helicopter blades and chopped up a few direwolves.
Within a 10-meters radius, pieces of direwolves flew through the air and dyed the snow red. The direwolves who saw their comrades being slaughtered immediately took a few steps back. But Viktor isn't going to let the pile of Spirit Stones wrapped in flesh run away.
Viewing these sights, Jessie became flabbergasted. She then felt motivated and joined the attack.
"Come on, Liza!" invites Jessie to Liza.
Hearing this, Liza nodded in agreement. The two of them helped Viktor finish off the Direwolf pack. Of course, they still kept their distance from Viktor so as not to be hit by his deadly attack.
[You have received 1 point on Strength]
[You have received 1 point on Agility]
[You have received 1 point on Spirit Force]
In less than 60 minutes, the 95 direwolves were crushed.
While Jessi and Liza were exhausted after battling the direwolf herd, Viktor did not seem too satisfied with the result.
"We've only been hunting monsters for an hour. Let's take a quick break and continue hunting more monsters." Viktor told them briefly.
