Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Chapter 97 Chapter 94 They’re All Some Unsettling Characters (Extra 4/65)

As a signature and most distinctive spell among third-level spells for mages of the energy-manipulation school, the expanding Fireball Technique engulfed the Shadow Wolf that had just bitten off the head of an Undead, much like the fury in the mage's own heart.

Searing heat waves sent the Shadow Wolves retreating in fear, but it wasn't long before the fierce light in their eyes grew even more intense.

"So cool!"

"Hiss, it looks as powerful as a small bomb!"

"Protect C, protect C! Surround the Mage, don't let the Shadow Wolves get close to him!"

The panicking Undead shouted loudly, and despite the chaos in their actions, they used their bodies as a human wall, shielding the Mage in front.

The Academy Mage found it hard to comprehend his feelings at that moment,first being saved by the Undead, his kin, then seeing this group, clearly weaker than himself, stand in front of him.

At that moment, he couldn't distinguish whether this was reckless ignorance or the shining glow of courage.

But he knew, now wasn't the time to hide behind others; he was a proud Mage. Allowing the weak to die in front of oneself was a disgrace to a Mage.

So, even though his heart was still filled with fear when he came back to his senses, he cautiously moved in front of the group.

There was something off about that group of Double-headed Demon Wolves; the Mage realized this immediately after casting the Fireball Technique.

Although he hadn't explored the Dungeon for the past year or two, in earlier years, he also ventured into the Dungeon with his companions – a time he reminisced fondly.

Until that night, when they encountered a surging beast tide that nearly wiped out the entire team…

The Mage, who henceforth lost any desire for adventure, staggered back to the Royal Capital with a few items left from his teammates, and since then lived as an aimless Academy Mage.

Past experience told him that the power emanating from these monsters did not originate from themselves.

This was common. Many Dungeon races, before launching an attack, usually had a few special beings known as monster leaders, who would strengthen their kin with unique methods, commanding them to launch a death charge.

That was the case with the beast tide he faced back then.

His face contorted in pain as if returning to that nightmarish night, but fortunately, he still retained his rationality.

He must report this to the Lord at once.

That was the first thought that came to the Mage's mind, and he decisively ignited the fuse he had on him. With a burst of flame, the fuse shot into the sky, creating an explosion.

The territory was alarmed!

…A few minutes later…

Two-headed Shadow Wolves, huh? So, it's almost that time now.

Kael understood and glanced at the Academy Mage, showing an appreciative expression on his face.

Death always favors fools.

If this Mage had chosen to avoid the Two-headed Shadow Wolves at the start, then given the wolf pack's nature, upon sensing these people as easy prey, they would have swarmed them and devoured all the players present in an instant.

But if someone chose to stand up, things would be different…

Wolves are smart creatures, and as monsters, even more so. Even when hunting prey, these Two-headed Shadow Wolves would consider the cost of battle.

"Alright, leave this to me," Kael told them.

However, Kael forgot one thing, that he wasn't dealing with indigenous folk who would obey commands, but players who didn't mind making a fuss.

The moment Kael stepped forward, the players, who had suppressed their fear, bore excited smiles on their faces, howling as they charged towards the Two-headed Shadow Wolves.

With an NPC to take the lead, it was now time to vie for the kill.

Kael sighed helplessly at the sight.

From the native's perspective, he finally understood why so many NPCs in games would have that indescribable look when mentioning players.

This bunch was truly chaotic when riled up.

Fortunately, they had numbers on their side and upon rushing in, they weren't instantly dragged down and bitten like the earlier player.

On the contrary, the Dark Night Wolves' ferocity was subdued by this group of fearless individuals.

The Two-headed Shadow Wolves, also battle-hardened within the pack of Shadow Wolves, had never seen prey that got more excited when its comrades were killed.

It was as if they were the prey, and the players were the actual hunters!

Far from being intimidated by the ferocious action of the wolf pack, the players instead revealed gratifying smiles, as if ready to go on a killing spree.

For a moment, the wolves became clumsy in their attempts to bite and tear at the players.

But after all, they were just a group of ordinary players who had just entered the game, lacking combat experience, and were not professionals.

The Shadow Wolves, having regained their senses after knocking a few players back and forth soon realized... huh, why do these guys look so damn weak?

They are the weak ones, the ones that can be bullied!

Their faces, though belonging to a pack of wolves, suddenly became much more ferocious.

The players saw everything clearly and felt provoked.

A few players who stepped forward first wanted to knock one of the Two-headed Shadow Wolves to the ground and then use a shovel to rip a huge gash in its belly.

However, they hadn't expected that a sweep of the wolf's tail would send one of them flying to the side.

Seeing how weak and powerless the players were, the Shadow Wolves pounced directly onto them.

And so, the players scattered in shock once again.

"Get him, get him."

"We can't beat them, can't beat them ah!"

"Save, save, save, save, save..."

"Don't come over here!!!"

"Idiot, run!"

Some players who bullied the weak but feared the strong realized their attacks didn't inflict significant damage on the Shadow Wolves; instead, they attracted a mob. Experience exclusive tales on empire

As they saw players being taken down, everyone started running for cover, sprinting away.

A look was all it took to confirm they were facing monsters they couldn't beat.

The mages who happened to be nearby were dumbfounded.

What's going on?

Weren't you all so brave?

When saving yourselves, you looked so gallant, but when your own kind were taken down, you couldn't care less.

Shangtiya Goddess, what species do your children come from?

Just as another player was about to be sacrificed, Kael could no longer stand by and charged forward.

He raised his hand, and a searing ray shot forth.

At this distance, which wasn't too far, he, with his years of combat experience, accurately poured the Flame Ray into the vicinity of the Two-headed Shadow Wolf's eyeballs.

A shrill scream erupted.

But before it could finish its cry, Kael's second spell attack quickly followed...

Energy Manipulation Spell: Siege Hammer!

With swift casting, the special force field created by the spell was almost immediately unleashed following the searing ray.

The Shadow Wolf's howl was cut short as its body was catapulted into the air.

"Can you all be a little more mindful of your safety, always making people worry..."

Kael's slightly exasperated voice echoed around.

A hero always arrives when you need them the most!
