《Survive The Chaos》Chapter 11: The Stone Prince
Advertisement
Lance walked around while watching his surroundings. The college town he was in was now nothing but the ruins of its passed glory. Lance's college wasn't famous like an Ivy college, however, it was still well known in the state of Connecticut.
Lance thought it would be easy to find enemies. He assumed that, since the buildings were destroyed, the range of his vision would increase. Though, unfortunately, that was just an assumption.
What was left of the buildings was still higher than what he could see. The enemies clearly weren't as numerous as he first thought. Lance has walked openly outside and he has had no luck with a confrontation.
'Why is there nothing around? Seriously, any beast or monster would do! I need to raise my level.' Lance though annoyed.
Suddenly, a howl was heard nearby. Lance was surprised, but the surprised soon turn into excitement. He then took off in the direction of the howl.
"Hey, don't be overconfident!!! I know you are happy to finally find an enemy, but don't just assume that it is the low level wolf you fought before." Chao yelled as he floated in front of Lance.
Lance came to a halt when he heard Chao. Lance never considered a more advanced wolf. He thought that wolves were always low level creatures in games that beginners would farm.
Lance turned serious as he realized his foolishness. This was like a game, but not like a game. Some beliefs of the game world and the past world do not apply here. For all Lance could know, there was a high level boss ahead of him.
He moved slowly towards the intersection. The howl came from his right, so the wolves should be on the next turn. If they weren't there, then Lance would have to go searching in the buildings.
Lance walked to the side of the building, making as little noise as possible. He peeked at the corner to see what he was dealing with.
There, he saw four wolves together moving in his direction. These wolves were slightly bigger than the hungry wolves. They were constantly sniffing the air as they moved closer and closer to Lance.
Lance tried to see their levels, but he was too far and couldn't see anything. Lance did not move from his spot. He was waiting til they got closer to see whether he should run or not.
"Um... you know I can go and see the information...." Chao said blatantly while floating in the open without a care. Lance blinked and sighed after he heard that comment.
He forgot that Chao is invisible to other things until he reveals himself. "Wait, why don't you just go and attack them while invisible then?" Lance asked.
"When I am invisible, I can't attack. Also the level of my storm spell is low, so I can use it every so often. The illusion spell at this level can only be used on one person or wolf....works better on people." Chao said with a shrug.
Chao flew straight towards the wolves. He stopped and turned upside down to see the wolves' panel without touching them.
'Alright, these wolves are called Silver Fangs....whats with that name? Oh, wait, their teeth are pretty shiny. Probably shouldn't get bit by those.' Chao thought.
Lance shook his head and laughed. Thanks to the change with his mind, Lance has started to get used to Chao's antics. Lance then messaged to Chao, 'Focus, what is their levels?'

'Oh, yea, let me check. Oooooh, they are all level 9. This will be fun.' Chao snickered with a devilish grin.
Hearing Chao's message, Lance grinned happily as he has finally got some prey. Lance walked out from his corner with his sword in his hand and eyed the wolves coming towards him. The pack probably noticed him already, so there was no point trying to do a sneak attack.
The wolves looked up with a cautious look. Noticing Lance, they started to snarl, bearing their silver fangs. Ferocity filled their eyes. At first, the pack believed that they found some prey when they caught his scent.
They noticed that the scent was nothing like they ever smelled before, but they didn't pay any attention to it. Anything that wasn't recognized in their territory was considered a prey.
However, now that these wolves have seen Lance, they knew things were not going to be as easy. The fact that Lance held a sword was alone enough to cause these wolves to be cautious. The way Lance confidently and arrogantly carried himself though, caused fury to fill theses wolves' hearts.
Lance calmly walked towards the wolves, causing the pack to become even angrier. The wolves soon couldn't stand back anymore. They charged straight at Lance, ready to sink their teeth straight at his throat.
Lance stopped in his tracks to let the wolves charge towards him. The four wolves sprinted and once they got close towards Lance, two of them jumped towards his head. The other two lunged for his body.
Lance quickly use Analyze as the wolves were coming towards him. There, he saw the same weak spots glow on their body. With the weak spots though, new information appeared from the wolves.
The wolves line of sight showed. It was like a red laser pointing towards Lance's head and body. Lance was secretly shocked about the new ability he gained. Now he was able to use less thought about where he has to dodge.
Lance saw that one wolf was looking at his neck, another was looking at his head, and the last two were looking at his body. 'Looks like they discussed what piece of me they wanted', Lance thought as he laughed.
Lance made a quick step to his left and with his sword in his right hand, swung for the bottom wolf's weak point on their necks. Lance's slice hit the wolf's shoulder and parts of it's neck causing some blood to spurt from the new wound.
The wolf yelped in pain and slid for a few feet. Lance frowned, his cut wasn't as accurate as he had hoped. He would need a lot more practice before he could get an accurate slice every time. The cartoons on TV made it look easy.
Lance didn't spend much time thinking as he dashed towards the wolves before they could re-position. The wolves landed on the ground and as they were turning around to face Lance, he appeared in front of them.
Before the wolves could even react, Lance swiped the wolf on the right with his blade, cutting into its neck. The cut was deeper this time and more on target, causing a critical hit to form over its head.
The wolf tried to jump back to avoid another blow, but Lance was not going to let it get away. He dashed to the right side of the wolf and sliced at the wolf's stomach.

The silver fang couldn't even yelp as it's eyes turned lifeless. Blue light flowed into Lance, but he didn't focus on it. Lance kicked the corpse at the others. The corpse hit the wolf and, in an instant, the three wolves, including the injured one, howled.
Lance didn't know what was happening, but whatever it was, he knew it wasn't good. Lance charged at the wolf closest to him. He went for a stab straight into the the wolf's chest.
The wolf collapsed in pain as it's health was slowly depleting. The two wolves sprinted towards Lance to stop him. Lance ripped out the blade from the wolf causing a large amount of blood to fly out.
The wolf yelped in pain as Lance was going to go in for the kill. However, the only wolf that wasn't hurt lunged at Lance and he had to jump away. The other wolf couldn't move as blood was flowing out continuously.
The wolf stayed by the injured, preparing to guard it with it's life. The other wolf with wound also reached the injured wolf. Lance looked and thought about what would his next action be when he suddenly heard more howls close by.
Lance and the wolves looked towards the direction of the howls. On a small rubble hill, there were three wolves. Two more silver fangs and a slightly larger grey wolf.
'Be careful!!! That wolf is apparently called a stone prince wolf at level 13!!!' Chao messaged Lance urgently. All this time, Chao was observing the situation from the air. When Chao saw these wolves coming he immediately went to investigate.
'A level 13!?!?!?', sweat dripped down his head as heard the message. A level 13 alpha wolf might not be something he could handle right now. Well, maybe if he fought alone.
'Chao, reveal yourself, so you can help out.' Lance quickly messaged to Chao. Lance knew he couldn't be cocky in this situation.
'Aye, sir!!' Chao said as flew quickly towards Lance. Chao then stopped right next to Lance and glowed purple for a bit. Lance knew Chao revealed himself at that moment because the faces of the wolves couldn't help but be startled.
They didn't notice Chao at all before he appeared. Chao snickered at the wolves and pointed his hands towards them. Chaos storm Black clouds stared to form high above the three wolves Lance was fighting before.
In the clouds, purple lightning was clearly visible flowing throughout the clouds. It appeared to be storing up energy. Lance face kept his serious expression as he was watching the stone prince cautiously, however, inside he was shocked.
'This is the last skill that Chao has.' Lance thought as he was happy that Chao was on his side. The clouds suddenly stopped expanding which was then followed by electrical sounds.
Lightning bolts struck down from the cloud. The wolves couldn't even react as they were struck by lightning. The injured wolves immediately died as the lightning struck them, while the other one was charred and in bad shape. Blue light appeared from the two and flowed into both Lance and Chao.
The wolf wasn't even able to fall, or have a breath, when lightning that was supposed to strike around the wolves went straight for them. Specifically, for their silver fangs. The silver fanged wolves' name wasn't there for show.
The fangs were actually made of silver and nothing conducts electricity better than silver. The lightning flowed like it was alive straight into the mouths of the wolves electrocuting their insides.
The wolf couldn't survive the experience and died instantly. Most of the blue light flowed into Chao while a some floated into Lance. Lance couldn't hide the shock on his face as saw the wolves easily taken care of by Chao.
"'Well, that worked better than expected." Chao said pleasantly surprised with himself. He had no idea why the lightning struck the wolves again, but he really didn't care.
Chao flew towards the charred bodies. He searched the bodies including the one Lance killed before. Chao messaged to Lance, "Wow, this haul sucked. They all gave me silver fangs. Other than that, I got two purple potions, more what seems to be money, and some wolf leather."
Lance could only laugh for a bit. He then looked at the alpha and it looked towards him and Chao. It was clearly furious that it's minions were dead. However, it was still cautious towards them, without a pint of arrogance.
"This wolf is going to be tough. Chao, see if you can trap it in your illusion, as you wait the time needed to activate the storm again." Lance said to Chao.
"Hmm, I still have about 80% of my energy left. So I guess I can do it. I need him to look into my eyes though." Chao explained.
"OK, I will try to distract the other two as you catch his attention." Lance said as he started to charge towards the three wolves. Chao quickly followed as he flew after Lance.
The alpha, noticing their advance, had a haughty expression. The stone prince suddenly howled extremely loudly. As it howled, spikes of stones constantly appeared from the ground, moving towards Lance and Chao.
Lance was shocked and quickly dived towards the right, moving out of the way of the spikes. His analyze couldn't help with this type of ability. The wolf just looked towards his direction, there were no specifics, and just went to attack his whole body.
Dodging will now take a lot more effort. The body movements of the wolf couldn't help him dodge magic. Magic will just be created and guided to wherever the caster decided.
Lance would have to focus on the skill, and not the caster, to avoid taking a hit. The damage probably won't be small, seeing that the wolf is almost 10 levels ahead of him.
'I can't afford to get impaled by these spikes.' Lance thought to himself. Just getting hit once could possibly kill him. If it didn't, then he could just have Chao heal him. Though he doesn't know if Chao can heal missing limbs.
Chao just floated up, but he also had a frown on his face. He was not expecting to already meet a magic user. This was going to be a whole lot harder. This spell was probably not the only thing in its arsenal...
