Chapter 21

The giant wolf glared at them as the words [Low Demon Wolf lvl 22] appeared over its head as they looked at it.

"Alright guys. Get ready to fight." Michael said as he got ready to fight.

"Yeah, about that. Can I sit this one out?" Adhira asked him nervously.

"Why?" Michael asked confused when he heard her.

"She's afraid of dogs or canines." Sreya said to him with a deadpan look.

"But you were doing fine against the werewolves." Michael said to her confused.

"That's different. They are half dogs so I can fight them. But that is a wolf, a full dog!" Adhira said as she took a few steps back.

Michael was confused at hearing her words as he looked at Lakshmi who looked at him and just shook her head.

"Don't look at me. I'm as confused by her as you are." Lakshmi said to him with an exasperated look.

"It's not confusing at all! I can fight it and... It's attacking!" Adhira said before she shouted in fear as she pointed at the wolf.

The others looked at it as the wolf howled and ran towards them as they got into a stance. The wolf is quite fast as it managed to reach them in less than 5 seconds as they jumped out of its way as it tried to bite them.

Lakshmi used this chance to attack it using her whip as it burned it while Michael sent an energy punch at it. Sreya threw her spear at it with force as it pierced its body a bit while Adhira sent an energy slash at it as she screamed in fear.

The wolf howled in pain from the attacks as it skid to a stop before it glared at them. The Players meanwhile got ready, well except for Adhira who was making distance between her and the wolf.

The wolf however saw her scared expression as it's pupils focused on her. Lighting started to surround it as the group was surprised at it. Then it shot towards Adhira and managed to reach her in less than 2 seconds as her eyes widened.

The wolf opened its maw to bit or swallow her but she immediately used her naginata to stop the wolf from managing to devour her.

"Save me!" Adhira cried out in fear as tears fell from her eyes as she looked at the inside of the wolfs mouth.

"We're coming!" All three of them shouted at once as they ran towards her.

Lakshmi extended her whip and wrapped it around the right hind leg of the wolf and pulled hard causing it to lose its footing. Sreya used this moment to jump over its head with her spear pointing downwards.

"Who told you that you could eat my sister!" Sreya shouted as she stabbed the right eye of the wolf as blood gushed out.

The wolf howled in pain as it opened its mouth and tried to shake Sreya off of its head as she held on. Michael however immediately appeared on its back with his right fist pulled back as he activated all ten of his Rings which are on his right forearm.

"Sis, jump off of it!" Lakshmi shouted to Sreya as the girl looked at her younger sister.

"Goodnight." Michael said as he got ready to punch it.

Sreya did as her sister told her to and Michael punched the wolf. The back of the wolf bend due to the force of the punch as it hit the ground and caused a dust cloud to be kicked up.

The force from the punch generated powerful winds which caused the girls to skid back a bit as they covered their faces due to the wind. After it died down they removed their arms from in front of their faces as they looked at where the dust cloud was.

There they saw a huge crater in the place where the wolf was, in the middle is Michael who had just transferred five rings to his left forearm as he sighed a bit before straightening his posture.

"What in the world?" Sreya asked dumbfounded at it.

"What is up with that absurd amount of strength?" Adhira asked shocked at it.

"I don't know. But he is very strong." Lakshmi said with a shrug as she looked at him.

Michael just sighed in relief that he had managed to defeat the enemy and now his group is safe. Just then he got notification about him leveling up as he looked at this new stats.

'That's good. Though my skills hasn't leveled up.' Michael thought to himself as he looked at his status.

He then closed it as he walked out of the crater and went towards the girls who walked to him and looked at him in wonder.

"What?" Michael asked looking at their faces.

"We're just wondering how you managed to do that." Sreya said as she pointed at the crater.

"That's just my skill really." Michael said to her with a chuckle.

"That's a pretty overpowered skill then." Adhira said with a deadpan look.

"Come on now. We just managed to get Lakshmi's leg back. We should celebrate it." Michael said to them with a smile.

"Well, he's right about that. Why don't we go to a restaurant and enjoy some of the expensive food?" Sreya asked them with a smile.

"Uh, I was thinking that maybe we shouldn't do that. I mean, I want to save my money." Michael said to her with a weak chuckle.

"Don't worry. It's on us. She is our sister after all." Adhira said to him with a smile.

"If you're offering then I don't have anything else to say." Michael said with a smile.

"Alright guys. Let's go!" Lakshmi said excitedly as she walked towards the Gate.

Michael nodded to her as he followed her, or he would have at least because he was grabbed by Sreya and Adhira. Sreya grabbed his right arm while Adhira grabbed his left arm as he looked at them confused.

"We're going to have a serious talk about your relationship with our sister after this. Privately." Sreya said to him with a smile.

"So we don't want you to immediately go away after the celebration is done okay." Adhira said to him with a smile.

"Okay. I will do as you say." Michael said to them with a nod.

Seeing his compliance the two sisters let go of him. He corrected his shirt before he walked towards the Gate with the two sisters in tow. Lakshmi had already opened the Gate by the time they reached there so she looked at them confused when she saw the three walking together.

"Why are you guys walking together?" Lakshmi asked confused as she didn't think her sisters were that close to Michael.

"Is there something wrong with that?" Sreya asked her sister with a raised eyebrow.

Lakshmi looked at the three when she was asked that question before she answered.

"No. Just found it a bit... strange." Lakshmi said before he walked out of the Gate.

The two sisters shared a glance while Michael immediately walked away and out of the Gate. The sisters shared a glance before they also walked out of the Gate before the Gate closed on its own as the realm disappeared.
