They spent the next two days in the village, every now and then Noel or Cathra would leave to check on the actions of the wolves, it seemed they had enough food so they kept to themselves for now.
During those two weeks, they also dag deep holes and put sharpened stakes in them along the path to the opening. It was not a hard thing to do for them with their stats but they did have to enchant the stakes to strengthen them, atleast she did.
Perhaps it was because they were not fully demonized yet but they were not as aggressive as monsters, that would not last for long though.
Evening of the day they were supposed to attack, the four of them were hidden in the bushes looking at the cave. What are we doing hiding here? We should go in there and kill all of these things and be done with it.
Patience Victor, we can't deal with that many of them. I just have to kill a few and the rest will cower like those hyenas, he said smugly. Both Cathra and Noel just sighed.
That won't work here, these things are in the process of demonification so even if one of them lives it would still come at you fearlessly.
That basic knowledge. He grumbled with an irritated face. So what the plan? We wait. They waited for a few hours, Victor grumbling the entire time.
Iron was just standing there like a huge metal wall. The clouds gathered and rain fell. How much longer, he asked. Just a little bit more, within 30 minutes the first rumble arrived.
They looked towards the sky, it was covered by pitch black clouds, lightning Flickering every now and then. It time, they stood up. Somebody will have to act as bait, she said.
They looked at each other, Noel had already figured what her plan was and he realised what those rods were for. The rest of us will wait over there, she pointed towards the opening with iron rods.
So who will act as bait? Asked Victor. They all looked at him. No no way, absolutely no way. I thought you wanted to fight them, well this is your chance, she said with a smile.
Besides, you are the fastest one among us, you don't expect me a woman... don't put gender into this, he cut her off. Yes you right, she said giggling but I am a mage.
Iron is a tank and Clark is a healer, you the only one whose class increases their speed as well, you also the strongest here so who else can achieve this but you, I will also cast haste on you to boost your incredible speed even further.
He nodded after being called the strongest. Very well, I Victor Barrow with undergo this great task, he said stumping his own chest. A few minutes later,HELLLLP, they heard him shout, tens of wolves following him, their savage gazes locked into his back.
Cathra started casting a spell, he couldn't hear exactly what she was saying but he did hear the word Undine, Undine was the spirit queen of water so this was a water spell.
Casting the spell took a bit long and they had to be in one place or she will just miss. Iron moved, they had to thin the wolves before leading them to the opening or her plan won't work.
He watched as Iron bash two wolves sending them flying backwards their jaws shattered. Victor turned around and swung his sword.
His arms were shaking slightly but Noel could not blame him, there were too many wolves in this pack, normally it would take multiple parties to deal with this number.
However they were the only ones here so they could not fight them head on, they had to use whatever they could. As Victor and Iron backed off they jumped.
The wolves ran towards them with abandon and rage. The ground beneath them gave out and they fell, wooden stakes punctured their bodies impaling their organs.
The lucky ones dies almost immediately but some were not so fortunate. He watched with indifference from afar as they roared and howled with pain and wrath.
So this is what demonification do to beasts, even with stakes impaling their bodies their priorities is still to devour their enemies, they have no sense of self preservation whatsoever.
Victor and Iron were now getting close to the opening, he could see the fear in Victors eyes but he could not see anything on Iron through that huge helmet of his.
His axe split the bodies of the wolves with a single hit however there were a few that could survive his attacks, they were larger and faster than the others.
The protrusions on the spines were more prominent, they looked like bones trying to break free through the skin, they were pointy and he could hear little rattling noise when the creature moved.
They had two rows of teeth, their snout were longer and their eyes were as red as blood. He could feel the savagery even from this distance. These were obviously the F rank ones.
He could already see 3 of them. This was not good, 3 rank F wolves with an entire army of rank G one. He really hoped her plan would work or they would have to abonden this mission.
They got to the opening and a barrier appeared seperating the two fighters from the wolves, they banged their heads on and scratched the barrier but it held for a while.
After a few minutes, which gave Victor and Iron time to catch a breath the barrier gave out, however it had already served it purpose. A huge blue magic circle appeared 500 metres above the wolves, they did not even look up. The circle was spinning in a clockwise direction.
The falling rain gathered into a huge ball of water above the magic circle. The ball of water was really huge, over 15 metres in diameter by estimate, he could not tell it exact size ofcourse.
Slowly, or atleast that how it looked, the ball entered the magic circle until it disappeared then the circle started spinning in the opposite direction.
What came out from below were drops of water still, however they were different from the rain, they were fast and sharp like needles.
They drilled through the wolves like their iron needle like furs were nothing but paper. He counted over 20 wolves had died in the first 10 seconds and the spell lasted for over a minute.
By then over a hundred wolves had died but that was just a fraction of them.There were still a few hundred more and they seemed even angrier than before.
Cathra put a huge brown bag down, it was filled with potions, mana potions, stamina and health potion also called healing potions. He sighed, this was not going to be easy.
