The Genius Mage - Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Repelling a Pack of Wolves

The wolves were already riddled with injuries on Klein’s side and were about to end the battle.

“Kate, be careful!” Unfortunately, by the time Audrey spoke, it was already too late. The wolf pounced fiercely and bit Kate’s arm.

“Ah!” Kate cried out in pain.

Audrey walked quickly and struck the wolf’s back with her sword. Only then did the wolf let go, but it tore off a large piece of flesh from Kate’s arm. It was terrifying.

Audrey looked at it and could not help but find it hard to look straight at it. So instead, she hurriedly took out a bottle of medicine and fed it to Kate to help him stop the bleeding.

Then, she held the long sword and charged straight at the wolf.

“Great Goddess of ice and snow, please let me use everything around me!” Audrey chanted softly. The leaves under her feet suddenly fluttered and lifted Audrey.

Snowflakes slowly fell from the sky and surrounded Audrey, enveloping her.

“Flying snow sharp blades!” When the snowflakes around her were almost formed, Audrey turned them into sharp blades and flew toward the evil wolf.

The evil wolf had nowhere to hide and kept howling. This move had even taken care of the wolves on Klein’s side.

Audrey had thought that the battle would end here. Instead, just as she was about to check on Kate’s injuries, she heard wolf howls that sounded even louder.

Audrey’s expression turned cold. She exchanged a glance with Klein, and both of them became nervous.

It was too late to escape. It was another fierce battle.

It was already difficult for them to deal with the four wolves. If more wolves came, it would be difficult for the three of them to deal with them. Audrey was already thinking about how to win.

“No matter what, I’ll fight them to the death!” Klein said confidently.

In the night, pairs of eyes lit up. The danger was gradually approaching. The three of them tried their best to hide their auras so that the wolf pack would not discover them.

However, wolves were naturally sensitive to smell. They were not ordinary wolves, so they still ran towards the three of them.

Audrey quickly set up a protective barrier around Kate.

“Audrey, what are you doing? I can still fight,” Kate said while enduring the pain. He could not bear to see Klein and Audrey fighting alone to protect him.

Even if he had to fight to the end, he was not willing to be a coward.

“You should rest well first. Then, after that, it’s best if you can heal yourself,” Audrey said as she headed straight for the pack of wolves. A blue streak of light shuttled through the collection of wolves as she brandished her longsword, constantly emitting combat aura.

“Lightning strike!” The longsword drew down a bolt of lightning and struck the pack of wolves.

“Audrey, let me help you.” Klein also joined the battle. “Gale slash!”

A gust of strong wind was stirred up. Every leaf that was swept up slashed sharply on the pack of wolves, causing quite a bit of damage to them.

At this moment, the wolves that were originally fighting each other suddenly gathered together, surrounding Audrey and Klein in the middle. More than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at the two of them covetously.

With a long howl, the wolves pounced on them together.

“Protective barrier!” Klein immediately attacked. Audrey joined in and strengthened the protective barrier.

With more than ten wolves attacking simultaneously, the two of them would not be able to handle it. They could only use this method to temporarily protect themselves and then think of a way to break out of the encirclement. The attacks hit the protective barrier, and the two of them used their battle Qi to support it. It was slightly strenuous for them.

At this moment, Audrey was still thinking about why the vicious wolves would suddenly attack at the same time, as though they were organized.

The long howl just now did not seem to have come from these wolves. Instead, it seemed to have come from a short distance away.

Could it be that the wolf king was controlling them?

This thought gradually formed in Audrey’s mind. If she wanted to win, the wolf king was probably the key. Or, she could make it understand that she was not someone to be trifled with.

After thinking for a while, Audrey looked at Klein. “Hold on for a while.”

After saying that, Audrey withdrew her combat aura, and Klein immediately became even more exhausted.

A hint of reluctance flashed in Audrey’s eyes. She closed her eyes slightly and chanted in a low voice, “Great Goddess of ice and snow, please bestow me ice and fire.”

After the chant ended, ice and fire appeared beside Audrey. She held an ice ball in her left hand and a fireball in her right hand, constantly attacking the wolf pack.

The wolf pack was afraid of fire and immediately fell into chaos.

Audrey felt slightly relieved as the corners of her mouth curled up. She gathered the fireballs and ice balls in her hands and enlarged them. She raised them high above her head, and the two balls hung in the air as they rained down on the ice balls and fireballs.

The surroundings were like purgatory on earth.

Klein was shocked by this scene. He did not expect Audrey to have such a skill. What kind of battle technique was this? He would find Audrey to teach him a lesson in the future.

Not far away, another long howl sounded. The wolf pack looked at Audrey unwillingly and suddenly retreated.

This time, Audrey was even more specific. With the wolf king controlling the wolf pack, he probably could not bear to see the wolf pack suffer serious injuries, so he retreated. However, it was unknown if he would make a comeback in the future.

To be safe, she could not stay here for long.

Audrey slowly descended from the sky. She felt a little weak. She took a few deep breaths before slowly adjusting herself.

“Are you all hurt?” Kate immediately went forward and asked with concern.

“I’m fine,” Audrey and Klein replied in unison, “how are you?”

Kate hesitated for a moment. Naturally, he could not say that he was fine because his shoulder was numb from the pain. He could not feel anything. If this continued, he might be crippled.

“Give me a moment.” Audrey frowned slightly. She turned around and walked into the tent, then entered the otherworldly realm.

Now, only the hot spring water had a solution. She could not just watch Kate lose an arm.
