Crunch.. crunch
Sounds of bones cracking could be heard in the atmosphere.
The cursed wolf ate in delight as it savored every taste of the piece of arm it was eating.
Blood completely stained its mouth as it continued to munch on kent's bone not caring about the struggling kent.
"Aha, yes if I can kill myself before it kills me then I will be able to die in a less painful way." Kent said with a smiling expression as if happy he was going to die.
He was in complete and utter pain and also was rapidly losing alot of blood from his arm making him feel weaker.
He quickly took out the knife which was inside of his pocket. It was the same knife which he was stabbed with back on earth but due to him being healed the knife which had already been stabbed inside of him was removed and had fallen on the floor.
He knew a knife like this would never work on the wolf as it was currently blunt and also lacked any power.
Pointing the knife to his neck he muttered "death come's to all right,dieing here right now is my safest option" he said with a despairing voice
He was scared, in pain and also confused.
He didn't want to die but there was nothing he could do to change his fate of dieing here right now.
He changed his gaze and looked at the wolf and he was shocked to see the wolf swallowing four of his fingers. It was almost done eating.
Seeing such a scene he knew any minute now and the wolf will come to completely devour him.
"I need to hurry." Pointing the knife to his neck he moved his arms quickly aiming for any spot as long as it could kill him.
---------------------------------------------------------
"Klang"
A loud sound was heard as it seemed something metallic had fallen
"Hah..Hah, I couldn't do it, I couldn't kill myself.The knife which he had been holding in his hand before aiming for his neck had fallen to the ground.
He had stopped mid way through it.
"I can't even kill myself when in danger" if so then what can I do"
Kents eyes was already tearing up as he thought of the gruesome pain he will feel while being eaten by the wolf.
"I can't do anything, nothing. This is the same reason I was almost killed back on earth kent thought.'When u are weak you are vulnerable to all. You are unable to do anything yourself and u cling to others to help you because you can't help yourself. Even in nature this has always been what was happening. Animal devour animal, strong devour weak even man were part of those creatures as they slaughtered other weaker people and animals taking away their resources.
Kent was fed up, he was tired of staying silent. He was tired of being weak. He was tired of letting other people or creatures tell him what to do.
"I won't die here. This just the beginning of my journey why will I die here.'
"I will carve my own path by myself and for myself."
Immediately after saying that he picked up the knife on the floor and stood up. Blood was dripping out of his arm but he did not care. His eyes was filled with determination and a fire was set ablaze in his heart.
"For my dream and for my survival. To achieve that dream I will fight anyone and anything.
Immediately after saying that he launched towards the cursed wolf not caring about the pain he was feeling.
"Hmm this creature is running towards me even though it is really weak? The wolf thought after noticing kent running towards it
"it seems his fear for me has left his heart.
The cursed wolf could sense how kent was feeling as kent was approaching it quickly.
"It seems like I will have to shatter that determination and confidence he has." The wolf thought swallowing the last piece of finger into his mouth.
Kent approached the wolf at a fast pace holding the knife in his hand, he did not care about anything else but killing that creature right now and surviving.
"I will survive kent screamed jumping up into the air while holding the knife.
He aimed the knife at the wolfs head and immediately threw it aiming directly for the gap in between the wolf's eyes.
The knife moved quickly and hit the wolf directly on the glabella¹ but it didn't even pierce it.
"Tch it's body is really strong" Kent thought". His expression showing an angry and wrathful feeling.
He was now currently approaching the ground and the wolf was there waiting for him. He knew he would immediately get hit by the wolf if he did not move but he just couldn't.
"Howl" Immediately the wolf raised its paw and swung it directly at kent who was desending at a fast pace.
"Keuk" blood spurted out of kent mouth as he flew a short distance away from the wolf after getting hit by its paws.He was getting weaker and weaker as he spurted out more blood from his mouth but, he didn't care. He quickly stood back up and moved towards the wolf.
"He doesn't want to give up yet uh?where does he get this determination from?. Well I just need to take away his other arm then he will most likely fall into despair.
Kent ran towards the wolf and without hesitating he swung his fist towards the wolf but the wolf dodged and replied with its own strike grazing kent clothes.
" I barely managed to dodge that attack. Kent thought in his head feeling relieved. "Attacking it with my bare fist will not work so I need to find something capable of injuring it at least." Kent thought
The knife didn't work and he had no other weapon to use except his fists but that was completely useless.
"Ugh is it even possible to win this fight?' Kent shouted in anger 'no I can't think like that, I need to fight if I want to have any chance of killing it."
Kent was lost and didn't know what else to try when suddenly a loud piercing noise was heard.
Clang
"Ugh what is that".
["Due to you having survived 1000 seconds since being penalised, you shall therefore be awarded wirh a power boost"]
Immediately kent heard those word he was shocked. He was at a complete loss of word.
"A p-p-power boost" kent stuttered while speaking 'they want to award me with a power boost". He was still shocked when suddenly his entire body felt hot. It felt like he was burning. He quickly knelt down as he clenched onto his clothing squeezing it hardly.
He was in pain. A very intense pain. He felt all his muscles, ligaments, and organs firing up as he knelt down on the ground as the cursed wolf watched.
The cursed wolf at that moment couldn't move as it watched Kent struggle on the ground holding unto his chest.
"what is this force preventing me from moving' the wolf thought 'this would have been a perfect opportunity to strike and kill him but, now I can't even move.
