Chapter 73: Cheat

Even though Wolfen Demon’s form was heavily slowed down, his powerful body still caused problems for the young swordsman.

Alex couldn’t take things easy yet.

“Every battle is a learning experience,” he smiled brightly.

After losing some health points against Wolfen Demon’s sturdy body, Alex swung the sword with his left hand for enough to get comfortable with it. Although he wouldn’t inflict the same damage as his right hand, his parrying became quite good.

Alex’s mood slowly turned better.

“Unless he uses that howling skill, I should be fine,” Alex whispered.

Of course, Wolfen Demon still forced him to fight. If Alex only escaped, Wolfen Demon would turn and go after the Deathwill Sisters. Therefore, Alex could only stay in his way and play around with that giant body.

As the fight carried on, Alex grew more confident. He also had a skill on his head that he had taken from Stella; Wind Blow.

It was only possible because of the Heart Duo.

That skill would push Alex far away from Wolfen Demon. Of course, in Stella’s hands, that Wind Blow would be a powerful weapon.

But as Alex lacked INT Stat, he would use it to rearrange his position in the battle.

He couldn’t use it before because Wolfen Demon had surprised him. But now, Alex knew about the hungry demon’s unique skill. The moment Wolfen Demon uses that howling skill, Alex would immediately throw [Wind Blow] below and throw himself away.

However, Alex also had another reason to use that skill. He would use it once his wives appeared to give him aid.

“I would call it a draw, Wolfen Demon. What do you think?” Alex’s situation became so much better that he talked about his one versus one clash with Wolfen Demon.

In a response, Wolfen Demon howled. It was his usual howl, not that powerful and mind-blowing one.

Alex chuckled, throwing a weak slash.

The talk carried on.

At last, Alex received the reply.

“You seem to enjoy yourself,” Schnee called him out.

She was in her little cat form. She took a comfortable spot on one of the trees, looking down at Alex from above. She didn’t seem lofty, be it her voice or appearance.

Alex smiled widely, “Good job. What about others?”

Schnee sighed, “Big sis used too much of her stamina. Stella needs to be close to her to refill it and heal her wounds… Sigh, is that the price of becoming headless in a battle?”

“Headless? Ah, I see,” Alex nodded.

He understood that Sara indeed went all out. She had told him before about the headless boost, but she never mentioned the price of using it. But now that Schnee had told him about it, Alex inferred that there had to be a price or a weakness behind it.

Otherwise, Sara would’ve faced Wolfen Demon in such a state already.

“It must be so nice, no? Having such an inborn boost! I am so jealous!” Schnee whistled from atop the tree in quite a peculiar mood.

She was in a good mood and enjoyed her current spot openly.

But even though Schnee seemed relatively relaxed, she had scrutinized Wolfen Demon’s appearance. His paw and his body were in a worse state than when he had fought her big sister.

Alex forced the demon to burden himself! And from slashes on the hungry demon’s paw, Schnee inferred that Alex was behind Wolfen Demon’s limping.

Her heart thumped louder as she stared at Alex.

He was covered in his and Wolfen Demon’s blood. He was also pretty exhausted, both mentally and physically. But he still carried on, knowing that they would come to help him get rid of the brutal monster!

And now that she was here, Alex genuinely smiled.

He didn’t look bad in Schnee’s eyes, and she let out a faint smile alongside her kitty noises, “Idiot. You should scold me already. I am just watching you struggling here.”

Alex laughed out loud, “I can see that you have worked hard, so I will let you rest while I can still move. I also have a cheat prepared.”

Surprised by his words, Schnee’s cat body became warmer.

She then blinked her cat eyes, “A cheat?”

“A player’s cheat,” Alex chuckled.

Finally, two other Deathwill Sisters returned to Alex’s side.

Sara glared at Schnee, who had been enjoying her stay on the tree. She didn’t say words, though, as Alex probably would’ve said something already should his situation be bad.

Stella didn’t even spare a glance at the cat. She searched for Alex, then flapped her wings toward him.

But he shook his head, “Wait for a second! Now that we are all here, it’s time for me to get my dominant hand.”

[You have used Wind Blow.]

Alex threw the wind bomb onto the ground, hurling himself away from the Wolfen Demon. He flew like a young bird who had just learned how to fly. His flight was lame, and the sisters stared at him with odd expressions.

A few seconds later, Alex hit the tree, “Uh!”

Everyone heard him.

After he dropped, he ran away further from the hungry demon. At last, Alex drew a vast arc, killing a few black wolves.

He grinned like a kid, “Here we go. My cheat.”

[You have leveled up.]

A mild and pleasant feeling swept through Alex’s body. That feeling of leveling up always felt great, as if the world rewarded people for their hard work. In Alex’s case, he felt even more ecstatic as he received his arm back.

He moved his hand a few times, then nodded, “Nice.”

Alex ran toward his wives, who stared at him as if he wasn’t a human. He grinned at them brightly, then waved his right hand, “I am back! Let’s pour our all into Wolfen Demon!”

At first, Sara had an odd expression. But that soon melted, and she let out a mesmerizing smile at Alex, “I’m glad…”

Stella didn’t say anything, but her eyes shone brightly. One could tell that she was feeling happy too.

Schnee clicked her tongue, “Weirdo. You don’t feel like some monster after growing your arm like that?”

Stella lifted her eyes and replied in Alex’s place, “Masochist.”
