Chapter 88: Teamwork (2)
After heading in a bit deeper, I suddenly raised my hand for them to stop after receiving a nod from Su Chen.
He pointed in a direction and I turned to focus in that direction.
I whispered to myself, "Clearer."
I listened carefully with my enhanced hearing and I suddenly winced when I picked up the sound. After that tinge of pain, I said, "Release."
When my hearing returned to normal, I let out a sigh of relief but I also reached my hands up to rub my ears.
Heightening my senses really was different from heightening my abilities.
After all, heightening my abilities would only affect me physically, but heightening my senses affected me mentally.
So it was harder to recover from it than from heightening my physical capabilities.
After recovering, I could see that the kids were looking at me with confused looks, so I said, "The enemy is coming."
They all had surprised and doubtful looks, but then they heard the sound coming from in front of them and they immediately went into formation.
Seeing this, I gave a satisfied nod since they were moving much better than before.
It seemed like they really had taken the advice that I had given them to heart.
As the sounds came closer, we were able to see that it was a pack of ten wolves that appeared.
When the kids saw this, they couldn't help trembling.
After all, there were many times more wolves than before here.
At most, they had only faced three of them at once.
Even if they had gained some confidence, they weren't that confident to take this pack on.
So they all looked at me with looks asking if we should escape.
But I knew that there was no need.
As long as they all played their roles, it would be fine.
So I said, "Just stay in position and follow my orders, you'll be fine."
They all had doubtful looks on their faces, but they still gave nods in the end.
After all, they had their own pride and they didn't want to back down that easily. They still remembered the humiliation that they had suffered at the hands of the first wolf.
As the wolves came closer, they also spread out and took a formation.
With the way that they were spread, it was clear what the power division of this group was.
The one in the center was clearly the alpha of this pack and the ones on the side were the betas.
As for the one at the tail of the pack, that was the omega of the pack. This was the weakest, the scavenger who ate whatever they could to survive.
This was the one that I was most wary of.
I knew that while they were weaker than the rest of the wolves, they were the ones that were the most tenacious. It was unknown what they would do if they were pushed into a corner.
So I wanted to deal with this omega last or not even deal with it at all.
I was hoping that the omega would run away when it saw the difference in power between us.
After a moment of silence, the wolves suddenly started charging at us.
There were two of them that charged much faster than the rest of the pack.
It was clear that these two were the vanguard that had been chosen to test our group.
So that meant that these two were most likely the strongest after the alpha.
They had to be trusted to be put in this position.
Seeing this, I said, "Wall."
As soon as he heard this order, Blaze who was standing at the front of our formation suddenly raised his hands.
When he raised his hands, the flames spread out from him and they formed a wall to his sides.
This wall completely cut the pack of wolves off from the rest of us.
The moment that the wall came up, the wolves immediately stopped moving and warily looked at Blaze.
They had no idea what this human was doing raising this wall of flames, but they didn't dare let their guards down. So they stopped to see what was going to happen before charging at this human.
Of course, Blaze couldn't do a thing while he was creating this wall.
This wall used up more flames than he normally used, so it was hard for him to control it.
He was only able to raise this wall and stand there without being able to move.
But there was no need for him to move since he wasn't the main attacker.
This wall was nothing more than a distraction for the wolves.
There were blades of wind that suddenly broke through the wall.
The moment that they went through the wall of flames, they suddenly caught on fire, creating large blades of flames.
The wolves quickly backed off from this wall of flames, but the two who had been the vanguard weren't as lucky. They were too close to the wall of flames and they couldn't dodge in time, so they were cut up by the blades of flames.
Both of them fell to the ground after being hit by the blades of flames and couldn't move anymore.
Claire, who was on Su Chen's back, said, "Confirmed hits on targets."
Hayato gave a proud nod when he heard this.
This was the combination move that Lin Fan had thought out for them.
Blaze would provide cover with the wall of flames, Claire would get on Su Chen so she could see the targets over the wall, and then Hayato would shoot his blades of wind through the wall.
As soon as the blades of wind went through the wall of flames, they would gain a new level of power that they didn't have before.
Since the wall of wind covered these attacks, with the speed of the blades of flames, the wolves wouldn't be able to react in time.
This used all of their advantages in a single attack.
