BXBX NOVEL Chapter 52
While staying in the formation, Alex fired the arrows at the wolves and many of the wolves fell back and growled in pain as arrows pierced their bodies.
With their formation, they were able to take out many in one go but their defences didn’t hold for long as a wolf fired ice spikes at them.
Alex noticed the wolf condensing mana and was about to use magic.
“Ben!” Alex shouted.
On hearing Alex call, a figure shot forward like a gust of wind that passed the soldiers and arrived at the front and slashed at the spikes.
The spikes were sliced by the attack and disappeared.
Ben took charge and took out a small group of soldiers to deal with the pack of wolves while Max defended the other region from wolf attack attacks.
Alex lamented seeing his hand-tied. If not for taking charge of the army, he would have rushed ahead.
Moreover, he wanted to see Ben and Max in action after all he can’t baby feed all the time.
But that didn’t mean he was helpless and he pulled out the bow and shot arrows one after another.
If an arrow hit a wolf that is killed by another one, Alex would receive a part of the experience points depending on the rank of the beast and his contribution.
But as Alex saw their numbers were growing and stronger ones started to appear, he feared that his squad would be trapped and may suffer casualties if this went on.
“Ben come back and take command from here.”
“Max and I will clear the way,” Alex ordered.
Alex was happy that Ben had good commanding ability unlike the muscle head Max.
Alex jumped down and pulled his sword and rushed ahead.
He took a shield as a safety precaution only to be used as a weapon later on.
As they hear Alex rushing footsteps, the pack of wolves thought that this human is a fool as he was coming here alone unlike the other warriors.
The pack of wolves ran towards Alex while he was delighted to see the huge experience food course.
“Ita taki mash.” Alex thanked them in Japanese style for the experience the food course served to him and threw the shield at full force ahead.
The huge shield spun in a rotational motion and shot towards the wolf with high velocity.
BOOM
The wolves were blown away as something flew and struck them with a huge force that blew them away.
The shield smashed and crushed the wolves killing some in the process and blowing them away the shield got stuck on the trunk of the tree.
Alex stomped the ground channelling his strength on his legs and lunged forward.
His body shot like a cannon and he sliced the wolf who was struggling to get up after being hit by the shield.
Swish…Swish…Swish.
Heads flew and rolled on the ground with every swing of Alex’s blade.
A wolf jumped on the trunk of the tree and pounced on Alex.
Alex pulled the shield and defended against the attack and hit the wolf’s guts and threw it by using its momentum against himself and jumping on it, he thrust his sword and pierced its skull and killed him.

….
While Alex looked at the status screen and nodded in satisfaction, he heard another loud growl of a wolf coming toward him.
Alex looked at them and spoke, “They are like a moth rushing towards the flame.”
Alex galloped toward it and before colliding with it, he just slid down on the ground raising his sword and allowing it to pierce the inside.
The wolf’s downside was struck by the sword and as Alex passed through it, his insides were torn off.
As Alex got up, his pupil contracted and the hair on his body stood up as he felt a sense of crisis.
The leader of the pack, the Alpha wolf, was coming toward them
He could feel the strong presence of the alpha wolf rushing at them.
Alex found that he had come quite far from his group and rushed towards them.
…..
Ben who was leading the charge heard a loud piercing cry which made the hairs on his body stand up in fear.
Ben scanned the surroundings and tried to sense the enemies but he didn’t need to look far ahead as he saw a flash of lightning making its way through the forest while its whole body was emitting cracking noise and lightning was oozing out from his body and sparkling the surroundings.
It was at that time when a flash of the bluish lightning bolt was shot from the wood which streaked towards them.
Max stood before the unit and used his giant axe to block the blow like a shield but the bolt of lightning still sent him hurtling a few metres back and he crashed against the defenders and pushed them along with him.
It was at that time Ben moved like a flash and his sword burnt with a sizzling fire emitting a cracking sound and slashing at the wolves before them.
All the wolves within the ten-metre range of the attack were burnt down and turned into ash.
“Hey! You moron did you forget, we are in the forest.” Ben woke up from the stupor as he heard Max’s loud shout from the back and looked around to see the forest was catching fire.
“Shit!” Ben cursed as he forgot about it in the heat of the moment while trying to save in command of arms.
Even after Alex repeated saying to always fight after taking the environment into account, making a mistake like this is a crime.
But Ben didn’t have to think about it, like a flash of light, a huge beast whose body sparkled in lightning and it growled emitting a huge shrill cry which was followed by a strong gale of wind that blew away and extinguished most of the burning flames.
Ben and all the soldiers looked at the beast with a terrified gaze.
It was much bigger than the other wolves and it had bluish fur which seemed to harden to form blades and scales along with huge bestial claws and its body was covered in lightning.
