The Crown Of The Nine Continents
Bloods 5 - Redmoon Wolf's

The dawn has arrived, Anryzel is soon awakened from her beautiful dream. Waking up in the morning has become a habit on earth, so that the habit is carried into this world.

The plan in the morning was to go to the forest in the eastern part of the village. Anryzel intends to exterminate a group of Redwolves who yesterday attacked the patrolling residents.

This is all Anryzel did in return for this village that had helped her when she was unconscious. After all, Anryzel did not want this first village to perish due to being attacked by monsters.

Of course Nivania will strictly forbid if she finds out Anryzel will go alone. So Anryzel decided to leave when the sun had not yet fully risen without Nivania knowing.

"He's not awake yet, is he?"

Anryzel came out of the room in secret. When he saw the state of Nivania's quiet home, he heaved a sigh of relief and directly walked out of the house without lingering.

According to what the villagers said the distance between the eastern forest and this village was not too far away. This is what causes Anryzel not to worry too much because the possibility of getting lost is very small.

As the day grew, Anryzel began to enter a region called the eastern part of the forest. Although this was only a forest but Anryzel felt a feeling he had never felt before.

The fantasy atmosphere released by this forest is so pronounced. The dim light of various colors (Mana) can be seen anywhere. Anryzel felt this while feeling happy, the game world and the real world were indeed completely different.

After a while of enjoying the atmosphere of a real fantasy, Anryzel began to refocus on the goal. He looked for some clues that could be used as a benchmark to lead him towards the Redwolf group.

"It's strange, shouldn't the people who met Redwolf not far from here?"

But the curiosity was soon answered after Anryzel walked into the deeper forest. In the vicinity of the place there are traces of fighting such as claws on trees, blood spots, scattered weapons, and human corpses.

"So this was yesterday's battle?"

This battle trail was extremely precious. Not only is it proof that a group of Redwolves are indeed in this forest, but it is also a valuable clue to the strangeness that is happening.

If thought logically, a group of hungry monsters could not have left the corpses of the Giru Village residents intact. Moreover, the one involved in this case was Redwolf, a wolf monster that had no intelligence at all.

In other words, Anryzel was able to deduce that there was interference from other monsters here. At the very least, the monster had to be smart enough to devise a simple plan.

"If so, what kind of monster was leading these Redwolves? Ah, maybe not, all I have to ask now is am I able to defeat them like in a game?"

Anryzel continued the search by making the remaining traces as a guide. The trail continued to lead him into the forest even further.

Arriving somewhere suspicious enough, Anryzel halted his footsteps and increased his alertness. He felt the air of an existence watching him from all directions.

"As monsters, they're quite careful."

Existences that are hiding and then slowly show themselves. They are large sized wolves that have blackish-red fur with very long fangs.

"It's really interesting." Anryzel observed every move of the Redwolves revolving around him. "Your looks are the same, but the atmosphere of the real world is really different huh?"

It was quite disadvantageous to have to do its maiden battle in a location that limited the movement. Therefore, the only option for Anryzel was to take them all to a more open place.

"You guys want to play? Then come after me!"

Anryzel instantly took a thousand steps to lure the Redwolves. As a result, he shot out like a light that instantly knocked down the entire tree and left a burning trail in his path.

"Wait, wait" Anryzel said, stopping and looking back.

Yeah, that's right. Behind him was no sign of the pursuing Redwolf group.

"Damn, wrong estimate!"

Anryzel turned back to its original place at the same speed. At that time he found a funny fact where the Redwolves were sculpting as if feeling confused.

"See where you monsters are? I'm here!" yelled Anryzel provokingly.

Finally, after being provoked, a group of Redwolves came to their senses and immediately lunged quickly. This time Anryzel adjusted his running speed to the point where Redwolf was still able to compensate.

...___________________________...

In a simple room, on a simple bed there was a blonde woman who was asleep. He was sound asleep, so comfortable he felt. But unfortunately, that comfort does not last long when sunlight enters through the cracks of the room window.

"Hoaammmmhaha... Morning already? I wish I had slept longer."

The woman rubbed her eyes, then staggered to walk outside the room. The woman is Nivania, she is known as the doctor in Giru Village, but the fact is that no one in the village knows the origin of Nivania.

After washing her face, Nivania started cooking for breakfast. The food prepared consists of vegetables and meat cooked in a warm soup, very suitable for breakfast in the cold.

Different from the days that had gone by, this time Nivania prepared a meal for a two-person portion. One for him, and one for a strange young man he found a few days ago.

"Is Anryzel still asleep?"

Nivania approached Anryzel's room, knocked several times at the door but received no answer. Several times he tried to knock back, thinking Anryzel might still be asleep, but still no answer came out.

Feeling strange as it was impossible for her beat to be unheard made Nivania force to enter. When he entered the room, no one was there. Nivania then shook her head slowly.

"Difficult to tell. Maybe, I'll catch up with him after breakfast."

When he wanted to move back to the kitchen, the front door of Nivania's house was suddenly knocked. From that intense knocking sound gave a sign that something important was going on.

Without thinking for long Nivania approached the source of the knock, opened the door and found a middle-aged woman with an anxious face there.

"Nivania, this is bad!"

"What's the aunt? Why are you so panicked?"

"Did the man you saved not exist? Aunt saw him go towards the forest earlier!"

The person the middle-aged woman was referring to was Anryzel. He was lucky enough to see Anryzel even though Anryzel himself had tried to hide as best he could.

"Yes, he's not here. Forget it, what serious thing does Aunt want to say?"

"This is related to yesterday's incident, the young man is in trouble! Uncle Bild said that he saw Redmoon Wolf together with a group of Redwolves yesterday!"

"What!?" Nivania raised her voice slightly in surprise. "Redmoon Wolf's?! why didn't the old man tell me earlier!"

Redmoon Wolf is a monster that is the result of the evolution of Redwolf. The Alpha species that led the Redwolf had little chance of evolving thus creating this monster, the Redmoon Wolf.

The strength and intelligence between Redmoon Wolf and Redwolf could not be compared. One Redmoon Wolf might be equivalent to two hundred to three hundred Redwolves. That was an indication of how dangerous Redmoon Wolf was.

Information about Redmoon Wolf has spread among urban people as a monster that can be a threat to large villages to small towns. Despite that their existence was so rare that Nivania felt astonished why such a monster could appear near a small village like this.

"Auntie, I'll go help her. If I don't come back until the afternoon tell everyone to run away, okay?"

Nivania rushed into her residence, she immediately put on the equipment she always wore while searching for medicinal herbs. A light armour covering the vital points, was silver in color with some accompanying gold color.

Nivania set out in haste, she did not heed the words of those who tried to stop her reckless actions.

As people say, Nvania doesn't have to take very dangerous risks to save someone he doesn't know. But his heart says that this is an action to take whatever the risk.

"Please hold on, Anryzel!"

Based on the experience that Nivania had, it should have been a group of Redwolves led by Redmoon wolf at least 200. A single army of trained soldiers would have a hard time handling them.

Nivania herself was not sure she would survive if she had to fight them all. However, he has confidence that he can take Ren away from the place even though it is unlikely to survive.

It didn't take long, but now Nivania is entering the eastern forest area. Nivania faintly smelled blood and heard some wolf roars. As soon as Nivania approached the origin of the voice, she ran with all her might.

Nivania ran after all the trails she could see. Somewhere, he saw a tree that collapsed regularly, and from there the sound of wolf howls was heard.

Again he ran as fast as he could. There is still hope as the sound of the battle is still there which means Anryzel is still alive and may be struggling between life and death.

Then the sound of the sword clanging until the howl of the wolf filled the hearing. Nivania arrived at the place in question, but she was speechless by the scene she was currently witnessing

How not, all his expectations regarding the battle of life and death had been dashed. Nivania, who assumed Anryzel was dying, now felt ashamed.

All of that was due to dozens of bodies from Redwolf scattered. Then among all, the cause of the pile of corpses was the young man whom Nivania thought was helpless, Anryzel.

"Hahaha, I feel stupid for worrying about you."

Nivania's body was limp from witnessing the massacre. Plus this feeling of limp was reinforced by fatigue after running nonstop.

Nivania's worried heart had now been replaced by admiration for someone who casually and calmly killed one monster after another using an incredible technique.

...___________________________...

After bringing the Redwolves into the open space, Anryzel immediately fought with them. The number of Redwolves that followed him was unexpectedly large, and was like a sea of monsters.

Anryzel then summoned a mithril sword from the Ring of Dimension. Ring of Dimension itself is a new name that he gave to the inventory caused by a feeling of boredom with the usual name.

While the mithril sword to be used was only a Low Class sword, where this nameless mithril sword had sufficient sharpness, high endurance, and low magic match.

Please note that the item class is divided into eight classes. Low Class, Middle Class, High Class, Rare Class, Super Class, Legend Class, Myth Class, and Divine Class. This class is not only used on items, but also on other things such as skills, magic, and monsters.

"Well, for a group of Redwolf swords mithril should be more than enough."

After the sword was ready to be swung, then Anryzel also lunged back at the monsters that arrived. The Redwolf monster was also not so valuable that it had to make him use magic, or special skills.

But because everything needs an experiment, Anryzel must use an effective skill but not so dangerous if it fails to be used.

"Divine Swordsman: Thrust!"

Anryzel prepared a counter-attack, then pushed his body to glide towards the Redwolf ocean with a sword piercing position while his body spun 360 degrees at high speed.

The first attack skill he used in this world. AoE attack type, skill classification is in Low Class with one use.

The effect allows the user to glide like a bullet with a sword that spearheads the attack. This attack will kill all enemies who are in a straight line.

Amazingly the skill was successfully used without experiencing obstacles, making Anryzel's fighting spirit increasing. Many Redwolves were instantly knocked down by the one strike he had just launched.

Fighting the Redwolves also made Anryzel feel confident. Wh why? Due to the strength, speed, as well as all the abilities he tried to successfully use. That meant, he did not need to worry too much about life in this other world.

Redwolf who had initially attacked one by one now felt a threat. Their instincts say that attacking in turns will never work, so they try to attack simultaneously.

Ten Redwolves lunged together with Anryzel as the center. They use fangs, claws, and heads to deliver attacks. But Anryzel easily dodged while providing a counterattack that left all Redwolves split in half.

A moment later, a thunderous roar appeared, making the atmosphere instantly become silent without exception. Anryzel was also speechless as she felt that something she was waiting for would finally reveal itself.

"It's not wrong, the boss will show up."

Anryzel's words proved to be true, a wolf monster twice the size of Redwolf appeared from behind the crowd. The monster had white fur with a red moon-like pattern on its body.

Anryzel said she could not believe it. "Well, can these weak monsters appear?"

Redmoon wolf is just an ordinary monster that evolved from Redwolf. The threat he gave out was no more than a group of Redwolves totaling 300. Other than greater physical strength, less intelligence, and low-grade intimidation skills, then there was nothing else special about this monster.

"Nothing, I should be thankful my first opponent wasn't too strong. Think of it as a tutorial, a true tutorial."

Anryzel shook off the sword that had been covered in Redwolf blood. He then installed simple horses that were able to strengthen the defensive position and attack power that would be launched.

"You guys, I don't mind doing any more tutorials."

Anryzel increases focus to practice calmness. Right now, he was unaware that both of his eyeballs were burning red, and his entire body was giving off a sinister red aura.

Redmoon Wolf was instantly daunted by the terrifying aura. But the Redwolves who were watching made him unable to escape. Like humans, Redmoon Wolf has intelligence even with a little self-esteem.

"Gerrr, grooaarrr!!!"

The Redmoon Wolf ran as fast as possible, gathering energy and preparing its enormous, sharp fangs. Redmoon Wolf opened his mouth to pounce at Anryzel who was still in the stance of the horses.

When the figures of the two of them met each other, a red flash appeared between the Redmoon Wolf's body. The crashing Redmoon Wolf monster fell silent behind Anryzel, he did not understand what was going through.

"Divine Swordsman: Lighing Cut" Anryzel said.

There was no pain, but the sight of the Redmoon Wolf instantly disappeared along with its split body. It only took a second for the Redmoon Wolf to suffer such a crushing defeat.

The second attack skill he used in this world. Type of single target attack, classification is in Low Class, lightning-elemented attack with the use of which amounted to two.

The effect allowed the user to slash once at lightning speed. This attack will kill enemies who are within the range of slashes with a greater attack power than Thrust.

The Redwolves who watched their leader sprawl with their bodies split grimaced in fear. Their four sturdy legs even shook, until they were unable to run.

Anryzel who managed to defeat the Redmoon Wolf very easily and then returned to acting as usual. He then stared at all the remaining Redwolves with an ironic face.

"Monster is still a monster, even though I forgive you one day you'll do more damage."

Anryzel thought deeply and decided to use magic so that all Redwolves could be executed without missing a single one.

"Where is the magic?" Anryzel held her chin as if acting like a sage. "Oh, maybe High Class combination magic would be good."

After finishing choosing, Anryzel started to activate the magic using the same concept as he activated healing magic. A five-numbered magic circle appeared around the body, and in an instant all of the magic circles shot out lightning that pierced through the entire target in its path.

"Lightning Magic: Lightning Strike."

The first attack magic he used in this world. AoE attack type, the classification is in High Class with usage where there are fifteen.

The effect allows the user to create lightning bullets that penetrate all targets within a hundred meter radius. This magic is a combination of the three basic elements, namely Wind, Water, and Fire so that the lightning element magic is created.

All the remaining Redwolves perished. After the lightning bullets pierced through their bodies, instantly their bodies became charred and burned. The battle field that was filled with monsters earlier had now turned into filled with monster corpses.

"Well." yeah." Anryzel tidied her hair after being ruffled while fighting, of course, her feelings were overwhelmed by happiness at that time but, "The battle this time successfully bes- ...?"

Anryzel's words came to a halt when he saw a familiar woman in a distant place. The woman was sitting limp with a blank look as if unconscious.

"Wait, why is he here?" asked Anryzel in surprise.

Anryzel immediately approached Nivania. Honestly the feeling of happiness was now replaced by a bit of worry as Nivania had just witnessed her battle.
