Although they knew that using themselves as bait was a gamble they were likely to lose, they didn’t hesitate.
Liam and Little Garcia listened with serious and anxious expressions, but they couldn’t offer any better ideas.
Leonard nodded, “Okay.”
Once the plan was laid out, the four of them didn’t waste any more time on idle chatter.
The threat of death hung over them all.
The atmosphere was incredibly heavy.
At this point, Tracy seemed to think of something and said directly, “Mr. Leonard, if at that time the monster truly is unstoppable, you must not worry about us.”
“Okay.”
Leonard wasn’t one for theatrics and agreed to this straightforwardly.
Most of the demon hunters who had entered were already dead inside the mine.
There weren’t many who managed to escape.
However, the Werewolf possessed incredible senses and those demon hunters under a contract of employment, had no place to hide.
They thought that it wouldn’t be long before the A-rank Catastrophe killed everyone.
As predicted, they didn’t have to wait too long before they heard a long howl echo from the outside of the mine.
The sound sent a chill down their spines, as though their souls had been struck a heavy blow. It reminded them of the terror felt in childhood when hearing ghost stories late at night.
It’s here!
The four of them, Leonard included, recognized the abnormality in the howl and immediately braced for combat.
The Werewolf seemed particularly cautious and lingered around the Underground Palace entrance.
Perhaps it had smelled the trap or was wary of the Blood Curse barrier.
However, the previous werewolves in the mine had been almost completely wiped out. The few low-ranking ones who had come to scout had been easily dealt with by Leonard’s party.
After half an hour, the Werewolf still hadn’t entered.
Leonard’s group didn’t display any signs of impatience.
They weren’t worried that the Werewolf wouldn’t come in.
After all, if they held out for three days, they could leave. It was even better if the Werewolf decided not to show up.
However, it was evident that it was here!
Silently, a three-metre tall standing Werewolf entered the tunnel.
Leonard was close to the tunnel, and he was in possession of the Relic-Hider, so the Werewolf didn’t detect his presence immediately.
Although, upon seeing the monster, Leonard had an ominous feeling.
[First-Generation Werewolf Infectee Werewolf King George]
Description: The first-generation infectee of the blood of the ancestral Werewolf, Muto; the former master of combat, George, has become a servant of darkness, a bloodthirsty monster proficient in various combat techniques;
“So the blacksmith George was a hidden master?!1‘
Leonard had guessed previously that the blacksmith George, the Werewolf, having survived the mine mutation as the only survivor, must have had his own special reasons.
But when he had not transformed into a monster, the Enlightenment had not shown and the reason was unknown.
But now, it all made sense.
This guy was a hidden master in combat before he was infected!
The moment Leonard saw the Enlightenment, he knew that this time the Strong Kill plan was going to be more difficult than expected.
They had already experienced a B-rank Catastrophe before. A Werewolf proficient in martial arts is much more formidable than the others who simply pounce, scratch, and bite.
Martial Skills would multiply the strong physical attributes of the Werewolf, like igniting gunpowder, revealing its tremendous combat power,
Now, this A-rank Werewolf King George was extremely dangerous!
However, it was already too late.
The battle plan couldn’t be changed anymore.
Just as Werewolf King George entered the tunnel, a few of the Curse Cards previously attached to the wall started glowing. Suddenly, with a “rumble,” the entire entrance of the Underground Palace collapsed.
Such a collapse would not be a hinderance for the Werewolf, known for its digging abilities, reducing the broken stones to powder with a simple swipe of its claws.
However, Leonard and his team didn’t plan to give it a chance to dig out.
As soon as the mine closed, heavily armored Liam with his Large Shield, stood in front of the Werewolf.
He was the only one amongst the four who could withstand the Werewolf’s attacks head-on, hence he had equipped the heavy shield and wore bulky Heavy Armor for this purpose.
Seeing its target, the Werewolf turned into an Illusion and charged over.
With a “thud,” it slammed into Liam’s heavy shield in the blink of an eye.
Liam was sent flying back a few meters and was pushed against the wall.
Watching this, Leonard couldn’t help but remark internally, “Such incredible speed!”
This werewolf was at least 50% faster than the B-rank Catastrophe we encountered earlier.
Liam Martinez wasn’t idle, after being knocked into the corner, he quickly drew a dagger and aimed for the Wolf’s head.
But the wolf king reacted quicker, it sprung up and climbed onto its shield.
Simultaneously it sniffed, quickly picking up the scent of other humans.
It disregarded the human clad in iron armor and turned its head, charging straight towards the passage on the left.
The target, of course, was Alison!
Alison, holding the Witch’s Secret Letter and having signed the contract, with the double monster-attracting BUFF on her, it would be a surprise if the monster didn’t target her.
The moment Leonard Churchill saw the appearance of the monster, his body was already silently hidden at the corner.
Stealth could make him invisible, but the airflow in the passage might expose his position.
He had to hide in the blind spot of the corner.
The werewolf was too fast, it almost dashed past him in a flash.
Leonard Churchill watched it run past without making a move.
He had only one chance and had to succeed with one strike.
If he made a mistake, the four-person hunting plan would immediately collapse.
It hadn’t run far when the sounds of arrows cutting through the air resonated in the air.
The pre-set traps had been triggered.
Then the sound of various cards exploding echoed.
Tracy Garcia and the others had all kinds of high-quality Curse Cards in their hands. When they exploded, all kinds of elements surged in the vast mine.
Even if the ground turned into swamp quicksand, it couldn’t limit the werewolf’s running.
It could run easily in the overhead and side passages.
Just like walking on a flat surface.
So, the strategy of breaking its leg was absolutely right!
The werewolf had only just run past.
In the chaos, a shadow quickly rushed out.
There was a small mirror on the corner of the wall.
Leonard Churchill looked at the reflection and saw that it was Alison!
Behind her, the huge wolf that had been shot with dozens of crossbow arrows was relentlessly pursuing her.
The crossbow arrows didn’t penetrate deeply, obviously not causing a fatal wound.
Even the paralysis poison seemed to have no effect at all.
The only effect of the crossbow arrows was probably to let the monster bleed continuously.
But that was far from enough.
The werewolf was extremely fast, it was about to catch up with Alison in the blink of an eye. At this critical moment, countless fine wires suddenly appeared in the passage.
Alison’s mechanical gloves closed, and the werewolf crashed headlong into the wire net.
But it only stopped the werewolf for a moment.
Then a series of “snap” sounds indicated the wires shattering.
This tough alloy steel wire couldn’t even withstand a single hit from the A-rank Catastrophe’s claws and steel teeth.
It was as if it was covered in cobwebs, it couldn’t stop the werewolf at all.
Alison could almost feel the icy chill of the knife-like gust blowing on her neck.
Just at that time!
Just at the corner!
She pulled the wirse and stopped, gracefully rounding the corner while almost sticking to the wall.
And naturally, the relentless werewolf gave chase while running alongside the wall.
However, at the moment of rounding the corner, no one noticed a sharp surgical knife quietly extending into the air.
The height was just right, at the werewolf’s thigh.
As the shadowy figure and the monster moved past each other in a flash.
Leonard Churchill, gripping the surgical knife, and didn’t even have to exert force, the sharp blade easily cut through the werewolf’s rushing thigh muscles.
The muscle structure of the werewolf was almost the same as a human. This cut of his adroitly severed the tendon at the base of the femur and some bone.
“Success!”
Seeing his cut achieved the desired result, Leonard Churchill was delighted.
He didn’t dare to be careless, quietly retracted the scalpel, and his entire body disappeared into the air..
