Stagnant Water of Apocalypse

Chapter 57: A Way to Break Territoriality (2)

The werewolf broke the emeras spear and continued to wander around the portal. I showed my palm to the growling Dingo and checked the supplies I currently have.

"Slingshot, pepper bomb, Togarev..." And the emeras spear. It's broken because of the struggle earlier, but the penetrating power of the blade is still there. The problem was the timing. With my current stats, it was impossible to keep up with the werewolf's movements. That's why I need to distract him before attacking him. It was not a fail-proof plan either. If I miss my timing, even for just a millisecond, his claws will surely tear me to pieces.

However, with the new weapon I just created, I was confident that I would be the one who came out victorious from this fight. When I took out the pepper bomb from the backpack, Dingo whined and quickly ran towards the corner.

"Dingo, stay there." I loaded a pepper bomb into my slingshot and glared at the werewolf.

Are you running out of patience?

Do you want to find me and tear me apart that bad?

Growl-!!

The eyes of the werewolf were fierce. It looked like it was screaming for blood. It was proof that the guy had the Fighting instinct skill.

After waiting patiently for quite a while, the guy began to slow down. It seems like the Fighting Instinct skill had been deactivated. I quickly pulled the string of the slingshot and waited. The guy moved closer and closer towards the portal. When his snout finally twitched in front of the portal, I released the slingshot's string.The pepper bomb flew and shattered as soon as it hit the werewolf right on its snout. Taken aback, the guy frantically moved his limbs around and sniffed.

That was a big mistake, my friend...

The moment the werewolf took a deep breath of the bull pepper powder, he jolted crazily. The guy rubbed the back of its nostrils with its claws as he moved. Its blood and saliva splattered everywhere, and the dirt around it flew away.

After inhaling that dreadful powder deeply, it must feel like its soul was being expelled out of its body. Well, I don't really know whether werewolves have souls or not, though.

"Let's start." I quietly exited the portal and opened the slot which the Togarev was in.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A total of three shots struck the werewolf's chest and head. But as expected, it didn't die. After all, this guy was an extremely tough guy who was also quick on his feet.

I took the emeras spear and started running after closing the portal. Hide-and-seek wasn't a bad strategy either, but there was a risk that the guy would be fed up and escape instead. I can't let that happen, since I had to kill him in order to get a skill.

As I ran with all my might, I heard quick footsteps echoing behind me. The distance was not that close, but if I let my focus slip off, the guy would definitely catch up in the blink of an eye. I know this because I've done this a lot.

"Cough! Cough!" I turned around and pulled out my pistol and fired.

Bang! Bang!

The running werewolf could not overcome the momentum of the bullet and collapsed. Originally, the guy would have been fine if the damage was only this much. However, that wasn't the case right now, as he already took a lot of damage.

I continued to run for a while. Then, the moment I found a suitable tree, I took out the hook and threw it upwards. The hook wrapped around the sturdy branches and the ropes went taut. With all my power, I climbed using the rope as my support. It was extremely hard. However, the one that kept me going was the werewolf instructor, which is still chasing me while roaring.
