"3 minutes?? Ain't that kind of pretty short…?" Wei Xiaodan said, his eyes completely dumbfounded.

Of course, the dark knight retorted to his sly words with a mocking expression.

"If you can hold them down for even 1 minute, then I might as well swear to gods and buddha that if we manage to get out of this situation somehow, I'll definitely marry you without any questions."

Her smug was so arrogant that Wei Xiaodan was feeling like punching her face right now. Unfortunately, opportunities ain't with him today.

The dark knight continued on with a smug etched on her face, she knew she was holding to a false hope right now but she didn't have any choice but to take the risk, "So, can you do it…?"

Wei Xiaodan cackled under his breath. His eyes filled with animosity at the moment.

"Say your prayers because I'll be making you my wife after this, kekekek."

"Enough with big words and get on it."

"Aight…" Wei Xiaodan held his hand upon the hilt of the sword, before raising it up to his shoulders.

"H-heupp…. Dang, why does a woman like you carrying something this heavy around? Were you some kind of masochist or something…?"

Wei Xiaodan could barely hold the sword from how heavy it was. Seriously now, he could finally feel why ability users like this woman right beside him and average humans like him were said to be entirely different species. The dark knight was holding into the sword earlier as if it was a piece of cake, but unlike him who had an average physique, he could barely even lift it.

"If you can't do it, just give up and run then."

The dark knight beated him up with truth, her eyes lifeless without any sign of hope.

Wei Xiaodan ignored her words and fixed his gaze forward.

The horde of wolves were approaching….

Approaching even closer….

And yet his eyes were filled with sorrow, as he stared upon the horde in front of his eyes.

Because of them…. Because of them that my mother and father died along with my younger sister on that fateful day…. Wei Xiaodan bit his lips until it bled and crimson blood spewed out under his red lips.

Because of the appearance of the gods and these monsters, his whole family met their demise.

That's why no matter what, he will never forgive them.

And he swore, as long as he breathed, he would definitely seek a way to purge them all down.

Wrruoonngg!!

The wolves cried out again with their growls, as they soon approached Wei Xiaodan in a pack.

What should he do now…

Of course, even though he said he'll hold them down for 3 minutes, it's easier said than done because he hasn't even thought up of a plan since earlier.

"Uwaaaaaaahhhh!!"

Before Wei Xiaodan could think, his body moved instinctively as he suddenly sprinted to the side while carrying such a huge a*s sword.

It was unknown how he was able to sprint with such a speed despite carrying such a heavy thing. You see, it's like carrying a boulder a size of a person on top of your shoulder. Even the dark knight had a tough time wielding that sword when she first trained with it.

Amidst of it, a thought suddenly came afloat inside his head. Won't I'll be able to buy some time if I gather their attentions ok me and run away in distance? Wei Xiaodan dumbly thought of it now.

Even though it's a risky move, he had no other plans to survive from this horde of wolves. No, wouldn't it be better to say it's more like a mountain of them. Like an army marching into a war.

Most of all, their strength exceeds that of an adult human, so tearing him apart would be a piece of cake.

With that on his mind, Wei Xiaodan hastened his pace and sprinted even faster than before.

He could feel his stomach heating up, as his stamina slowly decreased by every step he took.

Unfortunately, his plan didn't go the way he wanted it.

Isn't there a saying, "don't plan out an outing or else it won't become a reality"?

The wolves ignored him, as their salivating mouth drools over the dark knight who'd fallen into the ground. Her expression wasn't that very shocked.

Although a glimpse, she already predicted this was going to happen. After all, would a hungry beast will chase after a healthy rabbit running away from him if there's a wounded one in front of him? Even humans wouldn't find it odd seeing a lion ignore a sole survivor rabbit running away without the lion chasing after it, if there's a feast of wounded ones in front of it.

The dark knight sighed in defeat before staring up to the sky.

As usual, the sky was dyed in blue. Like how would one see a clean and neat ocean that hasn't been tainted yet by the disgusting industry.

The dark knight couldn't endure watching such a scene of wolves rushing towards her while their drool almost fell off from their mouths, and soon decided to closed her eyes.

If she were at least to be eaten alive, she would loved it if that's when she's no longer breathing but a corpse instead. Anyone would hate the idea of having your flesh gnashed out in front of your very own eyes after all. Wouldn't adults find it rather frightening watching a lion single handedly devour a human even if it's just in a video clip, so how worst would it even be to be the one being devoured instead.

Ggrruoowwwwngg!!

The wolves growled even more aggressively. A feast was about to come in their way, so they couldn't hide how hungry they were. Well, they weren't hiding such a thing in the first place.

Of course, Wei Xiaodan didn't stand on ceremony to wait for the dark knight to be devoured.

"Heeeeyy!! Ugly canine carnivores!! Didn't your mothers taught you the way of the forest!? 'Hunt down the last sole survivor first before jumping in a feast' you lowly insects brained ugly canines carnivores!!"

Wei Xiaodan cursed on top of his lungs. He got no other solutions right now other than this one.

If this plays out quite what he expected, then they're doomed. After all, it's not like the wolves could understand what he was trying to say anyway since it's a human language. Actually, Wei Xiaodan can no longer see any hope behind his act. If his opponent was a human, then sure it might've worked out somehow and agitated the said person for a little bit, but since it's about wolves standing on their two feets he was talking about, the possibility of him winning a lottery for his 500th try might be even more plausible.

Wait, wouldn't it be kinda rude to call them out as wolves when they're standing on two feets? Werewolves would fit them even better.
