Chapter 3 - The Wolf of Thorns

"I-it's a Barbed Wolf!"

"Run!!"

The four of us finally fled after hearing the roar. I could have used the [Sprint] skill to run faster. But I don't want to leave my hard-earned friends at risk to go into this forest to look for me.

Keep running while passing obstacles in the form of twigs, bushes, and trees. We managed to keep our distance. Goblin running is faster than humans, but for dog-type monsters like the Thorn Wolf, their running is much faster than two-legged monsters like us.

"Aah!"

"Elen!"

A female goblin named Elen suddenly falls, and Ted, who realizes it, turns to help her. When me and Jefri wanted to get closer, suddenly the roar sounded louder than before.

Until then ....

"GRAAAA!"

The shadow shot up, and stood separating the four of us. He had a large body with taper feathers resembling thorns. His eyes were red and his teeth pointed, saliva dripping from his mouth. It indicates that he is hungry.

"M-Death to us, the Wolf of Thorns has come."

I saw Jefri's feet trembling in fear. Same with me, but after using the [Calm] skill I became calm again.

The skill named [Calm] is able to keep you calm no matter the conditions. Like the situation we are facing right now.

"Elen, don't move."

The goblin, named Ted, stood with a twig with both hands. He stood with his legs trembling, but like a soldier. Ted looks solid in front of us all.

"Tied?"

"Ethen! Jefri! I will distract the Thorn Wolf and at that time you run away to the Village. Elen too, sorry to invite you to play hide-and-seek in this forest, but I want you to run away with them both."

"W-what are you saying, Ted?" Elen surprised.

Ted replied to Elen with a bright smile, "just relax, among the four of us I am the bravest. When you arrive at the Village, please tell the Village Chief about my courage."

"No! If we want to escape then it must be the four of us!"

"That's right, Ted you should run away too!" added Jefri.

"JUST SHUT UP AND FOLLOW THE FOOL!"

Ted's snap surprised us all. We realized, too, that Ted didn't want this to happen. His face had answered everything, the cry looked genuine. He really wants to live with others.

"Teed...."

That sentence made my heart beat. What the fuck? I've never done an arrangement that the Goblins have feelings too? This was strange, they should only be violent monsters and not very clever.

But to me now, Ted is like any other human being. Are all monsters the same? They have hearts too?

The Wolf of Thorns immediately lunged at Ted. Jefri and Elen shouted with all their might, while Ted remained standing straight with his bright smile.

Just as they thought that it was the end, suddenly a magic circle appeared around the Thorn Wolf.

The magic circle took out chains that bound the Thorn Wolf to the point of being unable to move.

Everyone was shocked, and looked at me.

Right, I used the [Bind] skill to ensnare him. Goblins should not be able to use magic, surely they were wondering about it. But I'm a special case.

I am a Reinkarnator endowed with Cheat.

This outrageous cheat, I've decided to use it to people who are precious to me.

"E-Ethen?" Ted opened his eyes wide.

I walked closer towards the Thorn Wolf and stepped on its head with my feet. With just a small pressure I was sure that I could crush his head due to our level difference being too far away.

But I held him back, I wanted to show him. Who is in power in this forest.

"[Aura Intimidation!]"

BOOM UP!

A powerful aura burst out from my body. All creatures affected by this skill will instantly die on the spot, depending on how far the skill difference of the user and the enemy.

But with my current level, I'm sure that I can eliminate everyone if I want to. But I only showed this skill to the Thorn Wolf.

That way, the people around me will only feel strong intimidation.

"Death."

One word, no matter what. I pressed my feet, and made the head of the Wolf Thorn break into pieces. Then followed by his body that turned into ashes due to the [Intimidation Aura] skill that spread.

In this way I was sure that the other Thorn Wolf had felt the impact of my skill. I wish they'd stayed away from this forest and moved to another forest far away from here.

I saw three of my friends, who had passed out.

"I think I should be honest with them."
