《Survive The Chaos》Chapter 7: Counterattack
Advertisement
Ok, from what I see only about half are injured, but the wolf you punched in the face is the most injured. If it receives another attack, it will surely die." Chao says while looking over the pack.
"So you want me to attack that one first." Lance says, preparing to charge. Even if it lessens the burden on himself just by a little bit, Lance was willing to go all out to accomplish the objective.
"Don't talk, just listen. Actually, don't even think. I will guide each and every move, so that you can actually come out alive", Chao commanded. Lance nodded his head. He didn't like being told he was useless on his own, but, because of the previous fight, he couldn't say anything.
"Ok, wait for my signal. Once I say it, you will immediately charge full force at the wolf nearest the injured one." Chao said while pointing at them. The wolves that were slightly injured were all behind one that was completely fine or at least in a better condition.
Both Chao and Lance watched the wolves as they were starting to try to use the same strategy as before. The fact that Lance was at a wall made it easier for the wolves to group up and lessen the pressure on the injured.
Since they were wary of Chao before, they didn't get into position. But now, seeing Lance was about to fight, they didn't have a choice but to move cautiously into position.
Chao observed the situation carefully, ready to give the order at any point. The wolves were almost into position when Chao yelled, "Now!!!". Lance then dashed with his full strength to the left, like he was instructed to.
Lance dashing caught the wolves off guard, and with his superior speed, he was able to reach the designated wolf in no time. Lance then used his leg to kick the wolf full force. The wolf yelped as it's ribs were crushed from the kick. It then flew to the wall, crashing into the wall, causing it to be stunned.
"Now, quickly, before the wolves reach you, attack the wolf in front of you, then dash back to the wolf on the wall and finish him off as well." Chao commanded.
Lance did not even think as he used the momentum to dash at the hungry wolf. The hungry wolf lunged at Lance in defense. It knew it was probably not going to survive this confrontation, but it decided to at least injure Lance in it's last moments.
"Sidestep left and kick!!" Chao yelled. Lance, doing as he ordered, sidestepped, causing the wolf to miss in its attempt to claw at his chest. Now Lance was not only in a prime position to attack, but the wolves were on the other side of the wolf, making so he would not be attacked.
Lance smiled and swung his leg towards the wolf's face using it's own momentum against him, causing more damage. Lance even heard some cracks as the wolf was sent flying towards his left.
The wolf didn't even have a time to yelp in pain, as it died from the strike. Blue light flew into Lance from the dead wolf and a voice played into his head.
Lvl up.
Lance was about to check it, when all of a sudden he heard Chao in his head screaming, "Don't you dare lose focus and forget what I told you! Check your status when you are not about to die!!!"
Lance woke up from his foolishness and dashed straight for the wolf against the wall. The wolf was slowly picking itself up. It seemed that that was a feat in on itself, even breathing seemed to be painful for this wolf. It seems like a rib punctured a lung and it was in serious pain.

The rest of the pack was chasing Lance as he was running towards the injured wolf. However, the chase was almost pointless, because the only one that could catch Lance was the leader, but it has yet to actually enter the battle.
Lance seized this chance to create some distance between him and the pack. When he was about to reach the wolf, Chao's voice sounded in his head, "Use your momentum to jump and stomp on the wolf's chest, then proceed to roll away in the opposite direction of me."
Following Chao's order, he jumped and, using his body weight, stomped on the wolf's ribs, crushing them further. A big critical hit appeared above the wolf in yellow letters. The wolf didn't even have a chance to dodge as it's breathed it's last painful final breath.
Lance rolled away, as the blue light entered his body once again. The wolves were stunned, as another of their pack has been killed. But more than shocked, they were angry. Fury filled their eyes as they glared at Lance.
The leader howled, as if saying a final message to his fallen brethren as they pass into the next world. Lance didn't have to understand what the message was. The leader was, without a doubt, saying that they would be avenged.
The Glutton Leader finally took his first step forward towards Lance. This signified that the true battle has now begun. Chao floated to the ceiling to see this battle in a bird's eye view. He needed to be able to see everything to be able to guide Lance.
Chao then telepathically said, "Things have gotten a bit difficult. The leader's speed is just as fast as you, if not faster. However, it has an edge as the fact that you are not used to its speed."
Lance nodded. He already realized what had happened the last time he tried to attack the leader. It used its speed to enter Lance's blind spot and then it slammed into his side, causing him no small amount of damage.
If I get hit by something like that again, Lance shuddered as he thought about the damage he obtained last time. It, without a doubt, took out half of his health, if not more. Another one would finish him.
"I told you to stop thinking!!!" Chao shouted in Lance's head. Chao then pointed at Lance with a purple glowing finger. Lance's bruises and claw marks started disappearing slowly until they were cleared up.
"Now you don't have to worry about getting hit and dying, since getting hit is a big possibility. Even if I tell you to dodge, your body probably will not react in time. You are still not used to that speed yet." Chao explained.
Lance couldn't help but shudder when he heard what Chao said. If he couldn't rely on Chao right now, wouldn't he end up like he did before? No matter how much Chao healed him, it would be all for not if the battle went on for too long and his stamina depleted completely.
"Don't worry about it too much. Just get ready, because running is no longer an option. When I say attack, you must attack. We will be in a constant link, so my words will reach you instantly. Now, DROP TO THE GROUND!!!" Chao screamed.
Lance quickly ducked and, as soon as he did, a hungry wolf jumped over him. As soon as it landed, it looked at Lance and growled. Sweat dropped down on Lance's forehead. By how high it jumped, the wolf was probably going for his throat. It was going for the kill.

Lance looked and noticed that he had four hungry wolves and the leader on one side while he had the one on the other side. Before Lance knew what was happening, all the wolves started to charge at him, including the leader who was in front.
The leader quickly reached Lance and clawed Lance's side as it passed by him. Lance held his new cut and clenched in pain. He couldn't react in time because he was distracted for only a moment.
"Jump towards the wolf on the right, then make another small jump to the right and kick the wolf." Chao commanded from above.
Lance looked up and saw the rest of the pack nearing him. He sucked in the pain and jumped to the right, following Chao's directions. He wasn't going to die now. He will get stronger, and live. Live to see the end of this messed up world.
The wolf to the right stopped and growled. It then lunged at Lance, who then jumped to the right again. Just like anticipated, the wolf missed, though it managed to graze Lance a bit. The damage was basically negligible.
Lance used this opportunity to kick it like a football. The wolf flew into the sky and Chao floated towards the wolf and lifted up his arms saying "GOOOOOAL!!!!"
Lance couldn't even think about what Chao just did when, all of a sudden, he felt something dangerous was behind him. He then dove to the ground to the side when the leader appeared on his position.
Chao looked down in amazement. Looks like his thirst for survival is forming a sixth sense. I thought it would only form during a latter part of the training that I am going to put him through. His willpower is truly formidable.
Willpower, the stat that Lance earned and forgot about. His desire to survive against the pack activated the stat allowing him to increase his strength and agility, to be able to combat the Glutton wolf.
Lance himself doesn't know that his power has increased because he still doesn't completely understand his capabilities. However, even though he didn't notice, Chao still did.
"Ok, now listen carefully. There are still plenty of wolves, but most of them won't even be able to take one of your punches. What you need to do is kill the little ones before you can take on the papa. So go to the place where there are more wolves and start punting." Chao explained.
There was some things in there that sounded questionable, but Lance understood what Chao meant. The leader was hard to deal with and with it's pack, it is even harder. Lance must kill all the hungry wolves and then the leader can be defeated.
Lance then dashed towards a group of 4 out of five wolves. The leader watched Lance charge at his underlings. Furious, the Glutton dashed after Lance. However, even though it was going as fast as it could, it could not catch up with the powered up Lance.
Lance, not noticing he was being chased, charged into the pack. The pack, seeing Lance coming for them, started to run towards him. When they believed they were close enough, they lunged at different parts of his body.
"Dodge!!" Chao shouted in Lance's head. Lance rolled to the side, where most of the wolves missed by a long shot. Lance's leg swung out and hit the closest wolf's waist. It yelped in pain as it died. But even as one wold died, Lance didn't stop there.
From the corner of his eye, he saw one of the wolves landing and lunging at him once again. From the same spot, Lance spun and kicked the wolf's face, sending it back to where it just was. With that, two more wolves died and blue lights flowed into Lance.
"Impressive! He is adapting to the fight as well. He might have a talent in fighting. No wonder he was so bored in the previous world. There was too much peace for this chaotic man", Chao thought and then laughed. "I can't wait to mold him into his full potential of chaos."
Lance couldn't even rest for a second when he saw the leader dashing straight at him. Lance didn't even realize that he could actually see the Leader move. He had no time to realize it as he rolled to get out of the way of its charge.
The wolf missed and slid trying to stop its momentum. Lance then saw its face. It was pissed. It kept on missing this minuscule human and all of its family is dying from it.
The wolf's growl couldn't seem more ferocious. However, unlike this leader, the three other wolves didn't have their previous ferocity. It was now replaced by fear. The fear of being injured and on the brink of death. At this point, to them, Lance looked like the God of death coming to claim their little lives.
Chao noticed the wolves change in demeanor as they back up step in fear. Chao then yelled in Lance's mind, "Hurry and finish off the rest of the pack. Their forces are weakened. Take advantage of this situation."
"OK!" Lance said as he nodded. He looked around and saw the two wolves form before. As soon as his eyes saw them, his body moved in pursuit. The leader, seeing the state of his underlings, howled, commanding them to attack. It then chased after Lance, hoping to take advantage of a situation to finally finish off this human.
Lance didn't even look back when he heard the leader's howl. His focus was completely on the two wolves in front of him. He was like a starving predator that finally found a prey. There was no way he was going to let the prey escape.
Lance arrived right in front of one of the wolves, causing it to jump in fright. The wolf couldn't even try to run away as Lance swung his leg, kicking its side, causing it to launch and slide to the side. Once the sliding ceased, no movement could be seen from the body. The life it once contained was no longer there.
The other wolf watched as its brother was killed, causing it to be distracted. Lance took this opportunity to close in. But before Lance could attack, he heard the running of the leader behind him.
Lance didn't even think as he spun around, swinging his leg at the leader. The leader clearly didn't expect this, because the leg hit directly on the side of its head, causing it to slide a bit to the side.
Lance was not thinking. His body was moving like it was on autopilot, doing whatever it could to survive. Lance didn't even think about the fact that he had actually hit the leader.
He used this moment, when the leader was stunned, to go after the stunned wolves. They couldn't believe that their leader, whom was far more powerful than them, was hit. This was something they didn't even think was possible.
Unfortunately for them, this distraction led to the end of their lives. Lance, like a bullet, moved swiftly towards the shocked wolf. Using his momentum, Lance jumped and stomped on the wolf's chest, causing it to cave in and killing it.
Then, using the wolf's corpse, Lance sprung off of it towards the last hungry wolf. Both the hungry wolf and the leader couldn't react as Lance used his body's weight and strength and punched the wolf into the ground, causing the ground to crack a little bit.
The leader stared at Lance in shock. All of its family has been killed. Not only have they been killed, but it was by the seemingly weak man who they were playing with earlier.
Lance slowly stood up and then looked at the Glutton Leader. The wolf jumped back in shock, but also fear. This was because there was something clearly different from the man. Something that sent shivers down the wolf's spine.
Lance's eyes. His eyes were now glowing. Not only were they shining brightly of both red and purple, but, in the purple eye, the chaos star was shown clearly in a red color.
Chao smiled as he felt the change in Lance. It was both an excited smile and a wicked one. It was as if he knew that this was going to happen. Lance himself didn't realize what was going on. At this moment, his mind was blank. He was relying purely on instinct and that instinct took over.
Lance slowly walked towards the trembling wolf leader. The wolf was backing up unconsciously out of fear while snarling at Lance. However, Lance was just calmly walking toward it as if nothing could affect him.
Finally, Lance got into the wolf's range and, like a fleeing animal, backed it up into a corner, the wolf decided to fight lunging at Lance with all of it's speed and power. It was trying to finish off Lance with this one move.
However, Lance just stepped to the side and kicked the wolf in the chest, sending it flying in a different direction. The large wolf sent out a loud yelp as it was sent flying into a wall.
Without skipping a beat, Lance dashed straight after the wolf. As the wolf collided with the wall, Lance arrived at it. He then, all of a sudden, cast out a fury of punches, not letting the wolf even fall onto the floor. The wolf's red blood was spraying all over Lance, but he was unfazed.
If anyone saw Lance, they would run for their lives, as they would think he was a blood thirsty demon coming to slaughter everyone. Lance finally stopped his punches and the leader wolf fell lifeless onto the ground.
It did not even have a chance to react before its life was put to an end. Chao started to float towards Lance just as Lance looked at the wolf and then fainted. Lance's stamina has long been used up and he was running on adrenaline. Pure chaotic adrenaline.
"Good grief, you're always sleeping. Well, I will let you rest for a couple of hours before we begin our training. That was a nice performance though. The time when you can control your chaos is something to look forward to." Chao said, looking over the blood soaked Lance.
Now, lets see what goodies we got from these wolves, Chao thought as he looked over the wolves. Chao went around and collected 3 lesser health potions, two blue potions, one dark grey undershirt, one dagger, and few odd looking coins and fangs from the hungry wolves.
Chao then looked at the loot from the Glutton leader in which he saw a couple of coins, a book, and a black sword. Ooh, wow, he really is lucky, Chao thought as he put all the items into Lance's backpack.
Chao then dragged Lance into the nearest classrooms, where he then fell asleep next to Lance.
