"ENEMY IN BOUND!!!!"

Not even a minute passed before a large cry suddenly shook the entire landscape.

"The scouts we sent." Jake\'s expression changed as he gripped his sword.

Of course they sent scouts forward to make sure they weren\'t running into a trap. But to think that they would face the enemy so early.

"This enemy shouldn\'t be the whole force though. This is probably the first wave." He thought to himself, trying to comfort his mind.

Jake looked in the horizon. That was the direction he was faced, and where the voice came from.

There was a cloud of dust that was slowly rising up. That could only mean big numbers, and that they were moving fast.

"Which beast will they send toward us for this one? Large numbers, fast moving, please don\'t tell me they are sending wolves." Jake muttered underneath his breath.

But as he said this, he looked back at Kierch and Myriad Arrows.

"You know what? We should make things interesting and spicy." He said, smiling.

"What do you want to do? A bet?" Myriad Arrows reciprocated the smile.

"Let\'s see who gets the most number of kills by the end of the day. The winner, well, they can ask the losers to do anything they want. Of course, moral limits exist." Jake said.

"So if I win, I can ask you to buy me a personal epic item?" Kierch suddenly interjected.

"Yep. But if I win though, I can ask you to spend more time in the guild, and become more involved." Jake said.

"Are you willing to take the risk?"

"What risk? This is my game. I am obviously going to win the bet." Kierch said, shaking his head and smiling.

His confidence was beyond bounds, and for good reason.

By now, the enemy was in sight.

"I just had to be right, didn\'t I?" Jake sighed as he looked at what was coming toward him.

It wasn\'t just a pack of wolves. No pack was this big. This was an army, an army of wolves.

And they couldn\'t even be considered wolves though.

They were a weird juxtaposition of wolves and their corrupted selves.

The zombiefication that hit them made them look all the more threatening.

They had green eyes, and a rotten smelling fur coat that looked like it was about to fall over.

But the one thing that stayed consistent with all of the other monsters that Jake saw here in his past life, was that these wolf beasts were all skinny to the point where their bones were protruding out.

"Get ready guys. Myriad. You might want to get higher ground." Jake said.

His sword shone with a blue glint as he turned it, ready to strike whenever he could.

"Don\'t be ridiculous. If I do that, then you fellows will claim my kills as your own." He scoffed.

Jake shook his head. But he remembered something and turned back.

"TARGET THEIR HEADS! ONLY AFTER THEY COMPLETLEY DISAPPEAR ARE THEY TRULY DEAD!"

But by the time he said this, his voice was drowned by the collective howl of the wolf pack that stopped just a few feet away from him, ready to pounce.

"Mages! Ready!" Jake shouted.

"Archers, in position!" A distance shout from his left told him that the other three sections were also ready to face the army that was in front of them.

Jake looked at the one wolf that came forward at the center.

It was between Phoenix and the leader of the Praetorian Guard.

This wolf, a wolf king, probably, looked bigger and badder than any other wolf here.

It\'s very fur was lustrous instead of rotten, and its eyes shone with a blue haze,

This didn\'t seem like a zombie. Instead, it looked majestic.

The purple haze that came from the sun only helped make it look even stronger than it already was.

"I can\'t reach it, but they should be able to match that beast. If they can\'t, then teaming up with them is going to be quite pointless." Jake thought to himself.

The wolf king looked down arrogantly at the two leaders toward the center, before snorting.

It then turned back for a quick moment and howled once more.

"Awooo!"

The howl this time silenced every single wolf and every single player.

A single howl that reverberated in the silent sky slowly dimmed down.

The moment there was total silence, that was when everyone moved.

"Now!"

Jake, and all the other guild leaders collectively shouted.

Bursts of wind suddenly flew by Jake\'s sides.

The sky suddenly dimmed down. The sun didn\'t go out, and yet there was a giant shadow that enveloped them.

Every single point of the sky was filled either with an arrow or with a spell.

With so mich time given to them to prepare, as well as the protection of the swordsmen and the tanks, the mages had all the time and concentration in the world to get their best spells ready.

And now, a barrage of them was raining down upon the wolves.

But the wolves were not still. They moved.

It took just a few seconds for the furry beasts that came to maybe a human\'s waist to arrive.

And once they did, Jake was ready.

Jake was the first to receive the attacks. His sword shone as he cut it straight through the charging wolf.

A clean strike through the head was easy, as the wolf was stupid enough to charge head first without thinking about it.

He saw the experience arrive immediately, and he didn\'t have the luxury of looking back.

"Check if it disappears! Make sure that they don\'t revive. Their corpses should disappear!" Jake shouted again.

The ones behind him heard him, and Jake could hear their grunts of understanding.

"Good. By the way, I\'m up one." Jake smiled.

"What do you mean? I already killed like ten in the distance while the wolves were charging. Stop lying."
