Chapter 41

They both froze, and then there were answering growls. All the growls came from within the house. It was hard to tell the exact number, but there were at least six separate animals.

A pack was bad news.

Adrian stepped back. He was relieved to see Kozzie had the same idea. They took another careful step backwards, and then a dark silhouette appeared through the open door.

His identification kicked in.

Mud Wolf

A vicious carnivore that hunts in packs. It is exceedingly intelligent and vindictive, the alpha wolf often exhibits the ability to double its size. Abilities vary across the pack but can include anything from sticky mud to earth missiles and earth spikes. Mud Wolves have an extreme level of magic resistance.

The relative strength of the alpha wolf in front of him was not favourable. It was stronger than him by a lot. It was more agile, better at healing, and almost one hundred percent magic resistant.

“Climb a tall tree,” he screamed, simultaneously launching fireballs at the wooden steps in front of him. It was a delaying tactic. Adrian hoped the fire would scare it back, at least briefly.

Turning to run, he pumped the rest of his mana into two more fireballs, which he fired up at the roof of the verandah. The wolf hesitated for the moment as the flames danced in its dark eyes. Adrian was sure it was torn between leaping through the fire to kill him and retreating to come from a different angle. It seemed to weigh the options before spinning back and disappearing into the house. With the danger briefly passed, Adrian spun around and chased after Kozzie, who was sprinting ahead of him towards a big gum tree nearby. The tree was a giant with a smooth trunk for the first two to three meters.

A howling came from the house. Briefly after dinner, Adrian had practised throwing the spear like a javelin, now he aimed the spear and threw it hard at the big gum. The moment it left the hand, it was on target. The incredibly sharp edge drove into the tree. It cut deep and held.

Kozzie was a few steps ahead of him. He saw the spear flash past him and adjusted his leap. He used the spear as a foothold to propel himself onto the tree fork. The spear thrummed, but it held. The moment Kozzie was up, Adrian followed his example, increasing his speed and then using momentum to push himself upwards. Like Kozzie, he got a foot on the spear. He felt the spear give. The sharpened tip cut the tree upward, with the shaft going downwards.

In an instant, he understood he had thrown the spear wrong. The cutting edge of the spear tip needed to be horizontal. Instead, he had thrown it vertically. Time slowed down. The spear gave way completely. He still had some momentum, was still going up, but was it enough? The tree fork was getting closer. He yelled for help.

Kozzie was looking at him, hands reaching to help.
