Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Dual Energy attack

The forest stretched as far as the eye could see, showing no signs of ending no matter how fast William ran. His boots barely grazed the ground’s surface; it was as if he were gliding on an ice rink, propelled by the new wings sprouting from his back. His new Angel form wasn’t just decorative; it could slightly elevate William, and by using continuous wind and ice spells, he had managed to generate a kind of turbine that made him incredibly fast. At this moment, they were no longer following the path to Draymore, but instead heading directly north, searching for Little Star, the girl who had left clues in her diary. Despite searching through the old William’s memories, he didn’t truly know what was in this area; the maps only showed a forest and a mountain before reaching the sea. Regardless, he had to keep moving to find a way out of this place.

After several more hours, a shadow lunged at them once again, but this time they were prepared. The spells Angel maintained to propel them also served as a radar that, upon sensing a presence nearby, sent an alert. Without needing to waste time warning William, Angel abruptly shifted their trajectory to the side to brusquely dodge the attack.

Seeing its attack fail, the beast emerged from the vegetation, staring at William. The wolf was over 3 meters tall, its fur light gray with fangs that gleamed as if made of steel. Elemental magic swirled around its body like a whirlwind, so without losing time, it lunged at its prey again.

William landed with a somersault and drew his sword, while the wolf was already upon him once more.

"Now, Angel!" he cried.

The sky chilled in an instant. A magic circle erupted behind William. Ice stalactites descended like blades from above, forcing the wolf to move faster. William, using his wings, propelled himself to the side and slashed his sword across the wolf’s neck in an arc that glowed red. The wolf dodged the main cut, but the sword struck one of its fangs; the metal screeched, and half of the wolf’s mouth had disappeared. Gray gas gushed from its snout. Seeing the advantage was on his side, William leaped with all his might to finish the job. One, two, three times, Angel launched precise cuts, but the wolf continued to evade all of William’s attacks.

Angel constantly conjured around them, launching ice fragments that slowed the wolf, freezing its fur to try and immobilize it. The strategy succeeded after a few minutes when the wolf lost all its mobility, allowing William to deliver the final blow with a brutal spin. His blade cut the giant wolf in two from the chest. The wolf’s body fell in two directions as a gray cloud began to emerge from its chest. Excited, William extended his hand, and the entire gray cloud was immediately absorbed into his ring. The sensation was addictive, causing him to let out an ecstatic shout to the sky.

With his energy replenished, William felt a bit hungry, so he sat down and pulled out some dried meat rations to eat and take a break.

The break didn’t last. A great roar shook the forest. The ground began to tremble as if it were a war drum. An absurdly large bear emerged from the trees, its fur made of stone plates, its eyes glowing with a menacing golden light.

William activated his wings again and leaped into the sky while Angel had already begun their assault. Ice spears descended, striking the bear head-on. Angel had aimed for the joints of the bear’s arms and legs. Due to its low speed, all the spells impacted effectively, creating large blocks of ice on its joints. Despite this, the bear continued to move without any problem, as all the ice easily exploded. The bear was completely on another level.

"Angel, how strong is this bear?"

"The bear has a strength of 99.9, a dexterity of 8, and a vitality of 99.9. It’s almost a grand knight, but quite slow. Aim for its abdomen; it has fewer defensive plates there."

Before William’s eyes, the bear’s weak points were displayed: abdomen, shoulders, and eyes. These spots were extremely difficult to reach due to their position, but he needed to finish it off before he could continue on his way, so he couldn’t simply flee this battle.

With a deep breath, William prepared to attack. Angel began casting electric claws, but the bear showed no signs of weakness. With a shout, William attacked without hesitation. One slash. Another. The third went straight for the throat. The seven plum strikes failed to cause any true damage, only superficial cuts, causing the bear to roar with fury. The bear’s attacks became relentless; each blow was brutal, making the air crack and explode like a cannon. If one of those blows landed squarely on William, none of his bones would remain intact.

"I have an idea, Angel. Use your spells to give me more speed. We’ll attack from the sky."

As if dancing, William continued to dodge the giant bear’s attacks. Its entire hide was armored; there wasn’t enough space to cause a lethal wound. With a loud cry, William used the plum strikes again. Seven consecutive hits widened the bear’s wounds even further. With full determination, he didn’t stop on the last strike. The sword began to emit a red glow once more, but not content with that, William closed his eyes to concentrate for that brief moment of tension. As if opening a floodgate, gray energy began to fill his sword; the red and gray colors seemed to fuse for a moment. William’s body tensed to the point that his skin began to crack; the force was completely beyond William’s endurance.

A beautiful red arc shot directly at the bear’s neck. The beast, visibly frightened, tried to dodge, but Angel moved quickly, casting several spells to force it to take the full impact.
