Chapter 360: Magnet Wolves

Chapter 360: Magnet Wolves

Miles, are those? Coin said in Miles's mind as soon as the duo descended the stairs. Unfortunately for Miles, the Vampire Canines didnt drop an orb. He packed the cores near the gates he entered and waited for his energy to regenerate. Only after that, did he descend the stairs, but the monsters that appeared on the second floor made him want to run away in fear.

The hell is with this tower, Miles exclaimed in his head as he looked at the creatures staring at him. Across the room, there stood two monsters. One was red and the other was blue in color and their eyes were opposite. Miles dashed back to the first floor without even thinking and placed all the weapons and orbs on him on the ground. Only after he made sure he had no weapon, did he walk back down. The blue-eyed red monster howled as it walked slowly, the red-eyed blue monster started to circle around Miles.

Magnet Wolves! For real? Miles cried helplessly as he gazed at the beasts. Magnet Wolves were one of the most annoying creatures one could encounter in F-Circle. They were super rare but still had infamy because of their specialty. Each time a mother magnet wolf gave birth, two wolves would be born, one red and the other blue. And these two wolves would be inseparable. They would mate eventually to procreate their own pups.

But what made them one of the most annoying monsters in Form-Rank was their special ability. They could control the magnetic field in an area between them. It sounded simple. Magnets would control the metals and so long as the hunter wasnt carrying any metal, it wouldnt matter. So many dead hunters thought so as well. These beasts could control the minute amount of iron in the blood to make their opponents bleed from every orifice and beg for death.

Blood is the theme of this tower, huh? Coin asked as Miles was covering his veins with energy. Like in Advance Energy class he learned; covering the inside of the body could be dangerous because of the elemental energy. For example, fiery energy would hurt the cells, and lightning might destroy the body from the inside, but lucky for Miles, his energy was pure. He could cover his veins to prevent the elemental abilities of the Magnet Wolves from reaching his blood. At least he hoped.

Crater Punch! Miles approached with his full speed towards the red-eyed blue wolf and pulled his fist to the limit. His fist shone with white light as it descended upon the wolf looking in disbelief. It was trying its best to pull all the iron from the puny humans body, but nothing seemed to work. It howled and its brother/mate attacked from behind. The power of the magnet was working at full force, but Miless energy was keeping it at bay.

Take this, you piece of shit! Miles exclaimed in happiness, as he kept on punching. He knew the theory behind defending against Magnet Wolves, but he wasnt sure if it would work or not. Luckily, after encountering Starve Cleric Girl two times, he made sure to learn how to defend against a superpower that could control blood. Although at the time she could only control the blood when her opponents were injured, no one could say for certain what would happen in Form-Rank. By now, she could have learned how to freeze the blood inside a person to kill them instantly. To prevent that, Miles was looking for solutions all this while.

The most absurd thing was that the solution was inside the notebook his grandfather had gifted to him. While explaining energy and ultimate creation, he also mentioned some of the troublesome powers and how one could defend against them. One of them was blood control. Miles wasnt sure if it would also apply to Magnet Wolves, but he prevailed. Of course for Mercer and Malcolm, it was super easy. They had the null element and no power could approach them to create ruckus in their bodies. It could be said that Malcolm and Cruel Heart were the nemesis of the magnet wolves and people with blood elemental superpowers.

Lunar Escape. Miles used the movement technique of Moon Essence as he faded out from the blue-eyed red wolfs attack path. While he was punching the sister, the brother wanted to munch on him, but he was keeping an eye on him too.

Lunar Escape was a mixed technique. It was using the physical power to move and also used the Mind Branch to create illusions to trick the opponent. So despite not being as fast as Frontal Rush, it was better when it came to diversion. The wolf kept on attacking even after Miles faded out because, for a short while, the wolf still saw Miles standing where he was standing.

Miles didnt let this opportunity go to waste and used Gallop. Which was the movement technique of Royal Blood. It was also a mixed movement technique. Elemental abilities could support the movement to create different effects. This one was created for Merlin and Marcela especially. Miles used the wind to accelerate and arrived at the unexpecting wolf from behind. He straightened his arm and turned it into a makeshift spear and used the Viscount Percivals Sun Piercer. The arm wasnt as durable as a real spear but it was still pretty strong. The sharp point contacted the nape and pierced with a golden light. The wolf cried in pain but had no time to escape, as Miles let the lightning element seep deep inside of the beast.

The beast cried in pain while the lightning attack created a ruckus from inside. In no time at all, the wolf fell to the ground, bleeding from 7 holes on its head.

Miles looked at the ironic scene with a smirk and charged at the other beast. Now that one of them was dead, their attack was broken. He could freely use energy to clear the floor. He could also claim his weapons back, but he didn't think it was necessary for a single wolf.
