Villain of my own novel

47 46. The Artificial Dungeon (3).

Isha was looking at the students with contempt as they bleed and struggled to fend off a pack of wolves.

'It's not even worth the time.' Isha thought.

"Hm?" Isha squinted her eyes, trying to determine if she had seen something incorrectly.

GROWWL

A low growl could be heard from a distance, and Isha saw a black wolf three metres tall, with a bright pair of yellow bloodshot eyes on its face and dripping saliva, but that was not what drew her attention; it had other eyes following the corner of the eyes on its head. It had ten eyes in total, five on each side. It appeared to be a chain connecting its shoulder to its face, as if it were a mutated wolf of some kind.

All of its eyes shone bright yellow as it shot towards Isha like a bullet, leaving a trail of yellow light in its midst.

'Fast.' That was all she could think of before it appeared in front of her, pounced, and kicked her on all fours.

THUMP

Isha flew back from the impact and hit her back to the wall.

BAM

"Kha." As the blow knocked out all the air in her lungs and cracked a few ribs, Isha coughed up blood.

"Grrr." The mutated wolf circled around place Isha stood and glared at her, while the others looked at the mutated wolf, perplexed.

"Sh*t." Katline cursed out and held out her hand.

"Rise." Katline roared.

CRUMBLE (4x)

Four skeleton wolves protruded from the ground, their eyes lit up with bright blue flames, while the others snapped out of their reverie and took their weapons from their inventory: Violet took out a staff, Katharine a sword, Vinny his giant sword made by Eshwar, and Katline took out her bow after summoning her skeletal wolves.

Vinny was the first to react, dashed in front of Katline, and attacked the mutated wolf.

BOOM

"How?" Isha clutched her stomach and mumbled in a daze as blood trickled down from her mouth.

***

Vinny pulled out Eshwar's giant sword and swung it down, aiming for the mutated wolf's neck.

BOOM

"Katharine!" Vinny called out while keeping an eye on the mutated wolf.

"..... On it." Katharine jumped and slashed down at the wolf while still in mid-air, which it easily avoided.

Vinny looked at Katline out of the corner of his eye, and Katline locked her gaze on Vinny and nodded.

"Need time..." Katline mumbled.

'Still the same, I see...'

Vinny smiled at her and charged full speed at the wolf.

BOOM

A crater formed below his foot as he dashed at the wolf at the same speed the mutated wolf had appeared in front of Isha before and slashed down at it vertically, tensing all his muscles.

"Hap."

BOOM

The force of Vinny's sword caused a foot-deep slash on the ground, but it completely missed the wolf as it pushed out to its left, where Katharine appeared and slashed at it.

***

Katherine was taken aback by Vinny's speed, but she didn't let it distract her as she tried to catch up from behind, following Vinny's trail while hiding behind Vinny.

SWISH

"Not bad." She mumbled, grinning and glowing neon from Violet's buff.

"Hap." Vinny roared, swinging his giant sword vertically with all his force.

BOOM

When she noticed the wolf leaping to her right, she grabbed Vinny's shoulder and pushed herself to the right, slashing diagonally at the wolf.

"Grrr." The mutated wolf growled as blood trickled down near its stomach, where a small diagonal cut appeared.

WHOOM

A fireball the size of a blowing ball flew towards the Wolf's face, jumping high to its right where it was greeted by a wind blade.

***

Violet was furious at Eshwar for sending her into the dungeon, and was excited as she faced the mutated wolf, she fired wind blades at the group of students, instantly killing the pack of wolves they were fighting.

Violet's eyes moved swiftly as she kept everyone in the field of her sight.

"Recovery." She cast a buff spell on Isha which helped her recover faster.

"Haste, Greater strength." She casted buff on Katharine how was having a hard time following Vinny.

'Monster...' she thought while looking at Vinny.

"Stealth." She mumbled, buffing Katline who was looking for a higher ground.

"Fireball, Wind blades." She casted attack spells though they were only basic spells which was now enough to make a difference.

A fireball was fired at the mutated wolf's head first, followed by a pair of wind blades fired at her head level on both the left and right. She calculated, reasoned, and predicted that the wolf would try to avoid the fireball by leaping into the air, because if it simply dodged to the sides, Vinny and Katharine would be able to take care of it.

***

Katline dispatched two skeletal wolves to Isha and others to the mutated wolf, and they were having a hard time keeping up.

When she looked Vinny in the eyes, she knew what she had to do. She took out her bow and began searching for higher ground, knowing she would be safe.

'What's this feeling?' Katline thought.

SWISH

"..." Katline smiled noticing Violet's buff, glowed grey and dashed at a stone ridge which had enough space to stand on.

She didn't like having to rely on others, but seeing Vinny's back made her feel less alone.

BOOM

"Hm?" When she turned around to face the battle, she noticed a foot-deep hole caused by Vinny's vertical slash.

'Strong..' she thought before focusing back on climbing. She jumped and crouched down on the stone ridge.

"Huu.." Katline breathed out and pulled back the bow string with a arrow.

'Luckily it stored both bow and arrows in a single slot...' she thought.

"...." She held the pull and focused her attention entirely on the mutated wolf, trying finding an opening.

The mutated wolf moved its head to the left to avoid Violet's wind blade, but in order to avoid being hit in the face, its other eyes near the right shoulder were sacrificed, and it lost three of them.

SWING

Katline took advantage of the situation and fired the arrow, which struck its shoulder eye and dug deep inside, rendering the mutated Wolf's right forefeet limp.

AAWWWOOOOO

The mutated wolf roared alerting it's pack, if there was any.

"Sh*t!" Katline cursed at her bad luck because she had aimed at its head, hoping it would at least pierce through its neck.
