Chapter 104 The second wave
Back at the arena, everyone was now rounding up their fights with the runts that attacked them. There was loss on the humans side but at least, they managed to get rid of all the werewolves so they thought.
Now with their numbers a little lessened, the humans made their way to the centre of the arena including Berg and Helen who were heavily tired after fighting non stop against the runts.
Currently in the centre, General Paul, Wilfred, the third years that hadn't fought in the tournament, and Jake friends that were in the arena along with the student named Lan.
The people in the centre of the arena were: General Paul, Wilfred, Vynn who was now terribly injured, Jack, Peter, Sophia, Berg, Helen, Cindy, Emily, Alex, Ruby, Jasmine, Simyon, Gary, Charlotte and Geo.
These were the people at the centre of the arena with a couple of strong adventurers that were in the arena, there were at least four of these adventurers here. All of them were now resting in the centre of the arena tired.
"Well, I guess it's all over now." Vynn commented, still holding onto his injured stomach while wincing In pain.
Those that were strong and in tune with Qi and energy, they didn't reply for they also knew that it was far from being over but they welcomed the little breather they were given.
While sitting down, Peter kept turning his head around. "So many people died today."
"And I don't think we are off the hook yet." Peter commented as he saw so many dead bodies littered around. Some of them had their limbs torn while some were heavily mutilated.
Looking at the scene, Peter felt like throwing up but he held it in and then looked away.
"I don't know about you, but I'm really low on Qi right now. I don't think I can help in any next battle." Berg said while clenching his hand in and out to feel the energy left in it.
Even the Generals were also low on Qi but they put on a brave face so the students won't be discouraged or lose hope.
Sophia opened up her mouth to say something but she quickly closed it as her eyes widened in shock.
"Shit!" She cursed loudly. The rest were about to ask her why she was cursing and that was when they could also see it.
More werewolves were storming through the arena with ferociousness. And that was not the reason for Sophia's shock or the others either, it was because of what level the werewolves coming were.
They were all at the Omega level; a little bit above the runt level.
And they were all charging into the arena along with some more pack members. They were numbering around 150 werewolves charging. The number was a little lower than the earlier wave that attacked them but they were still too much for them to handle currently especially when some of them were almost out of Qi.
"Can you hold them down along with some of the students?" General Paul asked Wilfred as they could see the werewolves charging towards them.
"I can, but it won't be easy. We will be defeated quickly if we don't get more help. Why do you even ask?" Wilfred asked.
"Because I plan to recover some of my Qi then when I recover enough, we will switch while you also recover your Qi. Because that's the only way I see of us winning this right now."
"That is not actually a bad idea, it might just work." Wilfred said as he stood in front of the students while readying his sword.
"So what are you waiting for? Go and recover and we will buy enough time." Wilfred shouted as Jack, Sophia, Peter, Emily, two of the adventurers, Alex, Gary and Geo stood side by side with Wilfred.
While the rest of them were all staying far away from Wilfred and the rest. The ones staying far away, were those that were trying to recover their Qi along with General Paul.
They all sat down cross legged and hoped that Wilfred and the others would be able to hold on till they could recover a little bit to assist them.
Meanwhile, on the field, Wilfred couldn't help but feel nervous at the prospect of buying time especially with his low reserve of Qi.
'Relax Wilfred, you have defeated countless omega wolves during the first war against them.' Wilfred reassured himself.
And that was when the charging werewolves finally got to their position. The first Omega wolf received a slash of the sword from Wilfred. But the werewolf managed to twist around avoiding the strike then it swung its claws so fast that it connected with Wilfred's face therefore sending him skidding.
But he managed to stop himself from skidding further as he charged right in again while the others had also begun fighting with everything they got.
Jack had dashed into the midst of the charging werewolves fearlessly with Alex and Peter by his side. They got to the midst of the werewolves and started taking down the other pack members amongst them.
They couldn't take down an omega on their own, they would leave it to the adults or when they were together but with them fighting separately, they just wanted to take down the pack members that were weak and also made up the bulk of the group.
A claw strike was heading towards Peter's face but he quickly ducked easily avoiding it then he swung his axe towards the wolf's body. The axe lunged in deep after all, it was an advanced tier axe so it could deal enough damage.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Peter was about to move again when another wolf came at him, he quickly jumped back along with his axes therefore avoiding the strike that was heading for his head when he was dealing with the werewolf from before.
Then he quickly jumped back in again with a swing to the werewolf's hand therefore cutting it off cleanly then he pushed from the ground hard and fast towards the other werewolf then he sliced its head off cleanly.
'One down, many more to go.' Peter thought. 'These pack members are all weak compared to those runts. I hate to imagine how strong those Omega wolves are and then the higher tiers.'
Alex was also making his mark in the middle of all the werewolves. With a swing of his giant sword, Alex then leaned backwards avoiding a strike that was heading for his face. Then he jumped back in again with another swing of his giant sword that sliced the werewolf's head off.
Before the werewolf dropped down dead, Alex had already jumped towards the next one closest to him. He jumped up high and then landed with an axe kick towards the werewolf's head therefore causing its knees to buckle and then fall down.
Therefore making it easy for Alex to slice its head off with his giant sword then he moved to the next one, no time for rest or break as Jack, Alex and Peter kept going from werewolf after werewolf therefore lessening their numbers.
Jack, Peter and Alex were now the tank and damage dealers of the new formed group.
Meanwhile, Sophia along with Emily were also making their own mark by working together to try take down a single Omega. It wasn't easy as they were hit a couple times but each time, they kept on coming back with much more fervour.
Emily quickly moved to the side avoiding a kick that was heading towards her stomach and then Sophia came in with a roundhouse kick towards the omega head but it just lifted its hand therefore blocking the kick.
Then it wanted to grab Sophia's leg but she quickly pulled it back and then one of the adventurers quickly jumped in and helped her by kicking the omega wolf back with such strength that it managed to make it skid away from its position.
"Thank you." Sophia said as she quickly moved in again for the attack.
In less than a second, Sophia was already beside the werewolf while Emily was already on the other side of the werewolf.
As if knowing what they had to do, they both nodded and threw out their legs that was now enhanced with whatever Qi they had left in their body towards the werewolf's head while the that helped them earlier, came in with a sword strike from the front.
Now the werewolf had to choose between getting its head smashed in with a Qi filled kick or a sword strike from the adventurer.
And it chose neither. When Sophia and Emily's legs were about to connect with the werewolf's head, it just ducked avoiding their kick totally while Emily and Sophia's legs crashed together creating shockwaves that spread out.
They hit each other shin to shin but luckily for them, they had covered their legs with Qi and now, with their attack failing, they lost the little Qi they had left. Meanwhile, the adventurer had swung his sword but it just struck air.
Now, the adventurer along with Sophia and Emily were now standing away from the werewolf who had a grin on its face after seeing their feeble attempt fail.
The werewolf dashed towards them with a speed that surpassed what the runts of earlier couldn't do and then it was in front of Sophia who was in front of the group then it swung its claws but it was intercepted by a sword…
