Trickeries

'In case if you're thinking this is what a shadow is, no.'

Kuro suddenly thought inside as he dodged the wolves with his nimble footstep… his daily routine of training his footstep have never came to stop.

Step-ladder, jumprope, running, soccer… everything wasn't pointless.

Right now as soon as every wolves has entered inside his Ki Fighting Sense Radar, every sign of movement was recognized into Kuro's brain.

and finally, just as before the wolves moves, his nimble footstep covers an small distances between—dodging the wolves' strike in hair-width.

'Completed!' As mentioned before, dual tasking wasn't his problem. So dodging while making an magic circle weren't too impossible for him.

[Dark Fog]

It's only a beginner-level magic with the effect of causing an black fog to block the enemies' eyesights… including yours.

As he have Ki Sense, this isn't really a problem but the same goes for the Wolves who have an exceptionally good nose.

But that was good.

The ideas came from the game 17 played in one of his game: Dota 2… because it was easy to make.

It takes the same principles from the soccer ball he made. An insert of mana will cause the thousands of small blade to erect.

The wolves who lost it's eyesight were too busy to smell the slightly odourless iron smell as all wolves charged toward Kuro at once.

Kuro's body whose like a hedgehog, and the charging wolves. As expected, the thousands of blades pierced the wolves all around.

Just, the part in which the blades that stabbed the skull, bent out slightly and at the 2nd wave of wolves did almost all blades broke.

Out of 21, the wolves have reduced in more than half. But even so, there were still 10 wolves. Although it broke, the blademail did its job.

If he wasn't petty and had the intention to use all of his money without leaving Okayu, Korone and Rushia, his blademail may even start shooting laser.

'Rune Writing is quite overpowered. Should I start becoming Rune-man? The magical versions of Iron Man?' This thoughts suddenly popped out within Kuro's mind.

'That's called Mechanic though.' It does exists in Virturan. Those who fight uses machines and Mechanic were their official name.

As Kuro prepared so does the 10 wolves. Despite reducing their numbers in half, Kuro hadn't forgotten the fact that they were stronger than him.

By the time the dark fog finally surpassed it's duration, the world turned lighter as the sight came back within the wolves.

[Black Knife] however, the black knife weren't in Kuro's hand—rather, it was stuck in the ground with its blade facing the sky.

As another wolves tried to dash forward Kuro, a small pond suddenly appeared causing it to miss its steps and destroy it's own center of gravity.

Without much effort, the wolf which dashed fell to the front, in one of its eyes socket stabbing in Black Knife.

However it wasn't enough to kill it as Kuro instantly created a blade with his [Kuroma(Origin Mana)]. Just as he stabbed the downed wolves, another wolf came sneaking up from the sky.

[Strike Trap] the completed version of 'trap' in terms of soccers. With the help of Ki Sense, he can finally applies it to high-agility enemies.

Although it still hurts, it wasn't to the point of crushing his bone in an instant. It doesn't change the fact that his arm was bitten though.

However Kuro didn't give the wolves a time to apply pressure to crush his arm as he created an sharp object inside the wolf's throat… killing him in an instant.

7.

This is bad as the high-usage of Kuroma consumed some of his mana pool. Although his body was trained to not be bothered on empty mana, the lack of mana lessened his attack possibilities.

All he can rely on right now were his Force Controls, Ki Sense and Water Esper…

'Nay, that's enough.' It is his intuition but, Ayame's fight against the Dire Wolf Leader were about to come in end.

Usin everything he got, Kuro dodged the relentless strikes of Dire Wolves.

[Footstep].

[Strike Trap] + [Water Esper].

Dodge!

[Force Explo…] 'oops, I almost did it out of instinct.'

Just as he cancelled his actions, a break in tempo was created as the wolves finally managed to injures him.

This single injuries were like a domino effects as it's slowed down Kuro's movements. With his movement speed slowed, he had to recalculate the distances and the speed it takes to dodge the wolves.

And of course the wolves didn't give him a chance as those wolves waiting in the dark tfor the opportunity, came charging in Kuro, breaking his body.

a flesh of his limbs were ripped off as a sense of deja vu came welling in. While he was down, all wolves came charging in to him, ripping off his body.

'Should I use force explosions? No, a single force explosions caused from my palm isn't big and strong enough.'

'Although it have blown the Serparent (the name of body splitting snake), it wouldn't necessary break off the wolves which is stronger, and their count is much more.

'I guess I have no choice…'

[Blackening]

At this exact moment, the darkness coated Kuro entirely as it started engulfing in the near mana.

As Kuro tried to try his new technique, to obliterate the nearby wolves, a certain woman came running in.

Holding Kuro's tiny body, she teleported Kuro out from the wolves along with her.

"Are you okay, peko?" She spoke in Pekongue language in which Kuro have studied before, making him understand what she was saying.

Just as Kuro tried to thank her, the darkness within him went berserk as it 'ate' the girl who saved him—before disappearing along with the distorted words.

À̷̡̧̱̩͕͉̈́̃͆b̷͖͈͇̕ș̵̨̪͌̈͐̓ơ̸̟̳͈͍̓̏̐̄͑͆̍͜͠͠ḻ̵̖̰͎̖̭͍͖͐͑͌̉̈́̍̓̀͘͜͝u̵̯͎͈̳͙̒t̸̜̭̖͙̝̲͍̮̲̼̄̑̆̇͝ḙ̶̡͇̳̙̃̊͒͛̈́͛̄̀̕͘ ̶̢̛̬̝̓̿͌͐͘D̸̡̖̣̮̯͍̬͈͈̎̀̀̋ĕ̸͍͓͇͖̣̭̝̠̲̐̎͒͜͝l̵̞͚̭̫̗̠͖̯͘͜͝ͅl̶̻̪̥͇̟̗̹̺͓̊͂͜ī̶̤͔͕s̵̭̫̙̞͊ḩ̷̣̺̂̆̈́͗̉

At least, she was safe, but it seems like that darkness scared her. Kuro dogeza'ed instantly.

"I am sorry!" Although he don't know what happened, what he just did, not sure whether what he did may bring a bad effect to her—he apologized in the end.

"Uwaaah! Moona! This person is scary, peko!" She ran away demonstrating that marvellous footstep of her.

While crying she hugged the once princess of moon as she threw tantrum around.

However Kuro had no time to be watching that as he is too worried of Ayame.

At the moment Kuro ran toward, the Oni, an indestructible hammer flew toward the direction he ran off as thunder followed its way.

'…Mjolnir?' Kuro confusedly thought.
