《Rise of the shaman》The trial 2
Advertisement
I had just left this earthly paradise and started to look around to see if the wolves had not spotted me, because if they saw me and went to that place I would have failed my test, because they would contaminate the place behind me. After a little distance, I began to think of a plan to kill them without causing my death. Finally I found it but it was not really extraordinary indeed I had to kill them one by one or maximum by group of three because I will be able to trap them in a fire zone and thus attack them from a distance whereas if they are too numerous I will not be able to seal them all and this will cause my death. To do this, I first had to become aware of my powers and the limitations imposed on me, such as the distance from which I could attack or the number of times I could use fire.
After a little walk I found the perfect place there was a dead forest where I could test the accuracy of my attacks and how much I could throw and there were also rocks that would help me with the temperature my attacks were causing. So I started my training I started and tried for the first time to use the power I had just acquired. So I began to imagine that my body was on fire and smoke started coming out of my mouth as if I were a dragon and I concentrated this heat in the corner of my palm and after 20 seconds a small fireball appeared above my hand. So I stared at the trunk in front of me and cast my spell on it. A small explosion took place and smoke hid the trunk. After waiting I finally saw what it caused. A hole had appeared in the middle of the trunk, so I was sure about the power of my spell, but I had noticed several problems.
The first problem was the time I took to make my fireball appear because if I faced the wolves with the effect of surprise I could throw one but a second would be impossible because they would have already attacked me. The second problem is that a single attack required more energy than I thought according to my calculations I could launch a maximum of 7 attacks before being at the mercy of the wolves. So I had to change my plan.

"I'll have to lure them all to one place, but since my attacks won't be able to eliminate all of them I'll have to trap the area. But how do I attract them ?" The last time that I saw them after having lost me, they want to their lair.
While I was looking for what I could do I remembered that their goal was to contaminate places that were not possessed by evil and for this I had the incredible idea of going to look for an animal to attract them but before that I had to prepare my trap.
With the help of my balls of fire, I began to make holes that I filled with stakes. After filling them I covered them with leaf and put a meat voucher on them so that the wolves could propel themselves on it and impale themselves. Then I created a makeshift sword to defend myself in hand-to-hand combat and finally I made cracks in most of the trunks of the forest so that at the slightest shock they would fall. I was ready, I only had to go and find one of the animals of paradise to attract them here but as always nothing happened as planned. As I was about a hundred yards from the hideout I saw wolves lurking around.
"Why all the shit happens only to me, it doesn't matter, at least I have the effect of surprise." So I concentrated all my heat in my palm and a fireball appeared.
"Take this, you bastard!"; I threw my fireball at the wolves and luckily I managed to hit three of them with the explosion.
The wolves turned around and there I knew he had seen me so I started running with all my strength. At last I entered the forest and no sooner had I entered than I heard a scream. "Take it rotten"; Every once in a while I would sneak a glance behind me to see how many of them there were and it was okay they weren't so many indeed I could see 8 wolves. Finally I managed to lose them and I was going to enjoy the feeling to be the one to hunt.

"The hunter hunted, it's your turn to be afraid even if I think you don't know the feeling."
So I climbed up one of the few trees that had remained untouched and began to see them. About 200 yards to my left I could see four of them. On my right 3 and right in front of me was a lone wolf. They thought I was dumb enough to go off to wolf who was alone ? It was probably a trap, so I set off in the direction of the 3-wolf pack.
As soon as I could see them, I started to draw them towards the tree trunks because I could not afford to throw several fireballs as I could only leave 6 now. So I took a pebble and heated it with my body heat. I could only use this once because afterwards the wolves will dodge it because the pebbles are not fast enough by impregnating them with fire they don't become faster but they just hurt more. So I threw my pebble at the wolf leading this little group. After my amazing throw they went after me because I had managed to break their companion's jaw and as soon as they were close enough to the trees I threw a fireball at them. The fireball then caused several tree trunks to collapse on these animals. "That's already 3 there are only 5 now."
But I did not see that under the tree trunks, there were not the wolves'; corpses, indeed there was black smoke going towards the wolf who was alone in the middle, but I did not notice it because I did not pay much attention to it. I still had 5 fireballs left for 5 wolves the count is good but I had to kill with the help of my sword or my mind because I won't be able to rely only on shamanism because once I won't be able to use my powers all the world will be able to kill me. While I was heading towards the wolves I heard two howls, so that makes two wolves less. At last I saw them they were right in front of me I prepared my fireball and threw it in their direction one of them avoided it but the other took it with full whip. As I was trying to get some distance from the wolf jumped on me but I was waiting for it to happen and suddenly the inside of my mouth swelled up and I spattered smoke right in his eyes. Blinded he fell to the ground and I piercied him with my sword.
"There's only one wolf and I can still use four fireballs, so I win."
Suddenly I got a shiver and I turned around and saw that the wolf's corpse had turned into black smoke. "What the hell is this ? Well, that's not a good sign. It must have something to do with the last wolf."
As I walked towards the middle of the forest what I saw froze my blood. The last wolf was beginning to grow at an alarming rate all shouting cries of pain "WOOOO"; Soon the noise stopped and he had completed his transformation, he was standing on his two hind legs and was easily 4 meters tall.
"So this is the final boss, I thought it was all too easy. I'm sorry to tell you this, but you're going to join your peers";. The wolf, if you can still call him that, threw himself at me and that's how the final battle began.

A World Worth Protecting
By the year 3029 CE, Earth’s technology has developed rapidly, borders no longer exist, and Earth has been unified, marking the beginning of the era of the Federation. At that time, a huge sword flew from the heavens, piercing the sun and causing a huge sensation on Earth. Perhaps because the scabbard of the sword was already in tatters, countless shards have broken off from it following the collision with the sun and spread across the universe. Many of these shards have landed on various places across Earth. With the arrival of the bronze sword and its shards, a new unlimited energy source has suddenly appeared on Earth. This energy source has since been named Spirit Qi. Spirit Qi is like air, thick in some places and thin in others. As the Federation and other factions gather more shards, they discover more information on cultivation, pill refinement, Spirit Stone refinement, and other techniques. The words on the shards have an ancient feel to them, making it a trend for people to use ancient language. The appearance of Spirit Qi rapidly makes the original energy sources obsolete and has completely changed people’s lives.
