《Slade the Shade》Chapter 9: More wolves and new playstyle.
Advertisement
While on the way to the wolf area Slade decided to kill and loot everything he came across, the sheep, the deer, and even the slimes. He decided to aim to be the first person to reach level 10 hopefully there will be some kind of epic reward. By the time he reached the wolf area, he was 60% of the way to level 6. From what he saw there was a small clearing in the forest situated next to a river. From what he could gather from his observations were that there were about 200 mainstream players farming the wolves at any given time and a lot of big and small fights occasionally. Wanting to stay out of trouble he decided to be lowkey. He went deeper into the forest until he could not hear any players or fighting he happened to spot a few wolves patrolling around being led by a slightly bigger wolf.

Calming his mind Slade realized that while he has an overpowered weapon he himself is too weak. He would need a few strikes to kill one wolve and by then he would be surrounded. The wolves could probably him in a few strikes plus the fact that they are faster than him. He needed a game plan. He can use "Deadly strikes" but it has a cooldown. Looking around he found a tree before doing a meteor strike on a group of 4 wolves targeting the level 6 wolf. Pinning down the targeted wolf before hitting the other three wolves with "Deadly strikes" at the same time before finishing the downed target

With four wolves out of the way and two left Slade dodges out of the way of an enraged wolf before capitalizing by performing two quick attacks before it recovers.

And before Slade could react a huge chunk of his health disappeared leaving 3 large claw marks on his chest. Steading his grip on his scythe he looked into the intimidating eyes of the wolf and steeling his nerves he subconsciously let out a smile and went into a passive stance. deducing that he can't out strengthen or outpace he started allocating his points.

As the wolf attacked with its claws Slade could see everything it moving clearer allowing him to decide on the best time to dodge, he could feel that his response time was shorter as he sidestepped the attack and he could naturally move faster as he avoided the second set of claws by narrowly tilting his head. He slashed the canine as he dodged the saliva-filled teeth aimed for his throat, rolled away from the incoming claws, and while blocking the second set of claws he pulled back the scythe and watched it cleave through its paw. with a pained howl the wolf charged with everything it had before missing and got cut down.

[You have leveled up and are now level 6]
With the added agility Slade now found his playstyle and decided on an agility build as loved the feeling of narrowly dodging the enemy's attacks before silencing them. He was going to a 5-2-2-1 ratio for his attributes points on Agility, strength, intelligence, and vitality respectfully. As for endurance, well he is tired of enduring.

8 186Broken
An empowering tale of beginning anew. Centuries ago, the prophetic Golden Age ended in war, and history spiraled into darkness... Now, the saga continues as our heroes prepare for a dark invasion in the hollow aftermath of A'lara's unbinding. Deep within the mountain fortress of Sierlyn, the legendary elf Kingard frees the captive empress of Allana. Under the elf's watchful eye, the new Light Master Jorn strives to redeem the stains of his past betrayal. When the unwitting darkmage Haisrir embarks for distant Kholl, he unleashes the gravest threat of all. Divided in purpose and forsaken by prophesy, their fractured band splinters under the burdens of impending war. But looming beyond the eastern horizon, their enemies ready a ghastly armada. Without new portents to guide them, Kingard and his allies face a blind scramble to defend their imperiled empire. Praise for Broken: Exciting, suspenseful, and constantly left me wanting more. I felt a connection with every character that stretched over a very wide range of emotions. I eagerly wait for the next installment. - J.R. Cooper of Texas ★★★★★ This novel was published in 2021, and it includes 25 antique watercolor maps! Check them out: Maps of Broken: an atlas directory

Jes is a normal twenty-something American dealing with a 2020 that just keeps getting worse. She's driving home for the latest in that series of awful events when she runs headlong into something unexpected. Nearly 400 years ago, the continent of Charan was embroiled in a terrible war. To stop the war, its inhabitants literally tore a hole in the fabric that holds their world together. The Weave, the magical lines of reality that shape every part of Charan, were torn by great magics. Those magics left a hole in the weave that has since consumed nearly a third of the continent, creating a vast and magicless Outalnds. The Wild Weaves at the edges of the Outlands are a dangerous place. Archmagi, pushed to the edge by a pursuing army, enter the Wild Weaves and seek to repair the very fabric of reality. Howard and Clark Franklin, returning soldiers from the Civil War, come back to a home that isn't quite theirs anymore. Restless, they depart again for the West, a new frontier. They get more than they bargained for when one moment they're crossing the prairie and the next they're stepping into a whole new world. As the unraveling edges of reality fray, two worlds may never be the same. >
