Chapter 1000 Chapter 1000: Something useful
He hadn\'t even raided his head, as if it wasn\'t a new phenomenon. However, only a few minutes had passed when he finally raised his head and looked in the direction of the lake.
He heard a loud explosion that was accompanied by a disgusting stench. He also saw an arc of darkness rise from the ground and fly straight ahead, destroying the lake in its path.
The Wolf growled weakly, and tossed the tree aside. With one leap, he flew high in the sky, directly landing in the middle of the evaporated lake.
Karyk attacked the strange lake, which had attacked him first. He swung the shadow scythe, cutting through the lake.
The dark lake retaliated, sending more vines toward Karyk, but everything proved insignificant before the devouring of the abyss.
The strange water of the abyss, which had a life of its own, was devoured by Karyk, leaving nothing behind.
Even the vines that had come from the depths of the water were nowhere to be found anymore. There was only an empty lake, with a deep ravine carved in the middle thanks to Karyk\'s attack.
He was about to check to see if there was anything special there which gave life to that lake. However, as he was about to jump down, he felt a rush of wind.
The sky once again turned dark, followed by a massive figure appearing before him. The ground trembled as the Wolf landed in front of him, making him appear even smaller than an ant in comparison.
"I should have expected to catch your attention."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Karyk tightened his grip on the scythe.
The giant wolf, now standing in the center of the ravine, observed the tiny human with a mix of curiosity.
Its enormous paws left deep imprints in the soft, damp earth as it moved closer to the human, who had revealed that disgusting stench.
Karyk, still gripping the shadow scythe, turned his gaze towards the wolf. His eyes, dark and piercing, met the creature\'s bright, golden ones.
For a moment, neither moved. Unfortunately, the silence didn\'t last for long.
The wolf growled again, a low rumble that seemed to shake the very ground, its eyes turning from curiosity to hostility.
Even with its giant body, its speed was not affected. If anything, it was faster than an ordinary wolf.
"So be it... I will take you with me as well."
Karyk jumped back, avoiding the Wolf\'s sharp claw that made the ground beneath the crack with the impact alone.
With a swift motion, Karyk swung the scythe, its blade slicing through the air with a cold, whispering hum.
"Hmm?" Karyk\'s scythe flew straight for the Wolf\'s claw that had landed on the ground, appearing as if someone was trying to stab a wolf with the smallest of needles.
The Wolf didn\'t even try to avoid Karyk\'s scythe, instead roaring as if it was raged. However, he suddenly sensed an even bigger danger.
It was as if a predator had opened its giant jaws to devour him whole. The entire area was covered by Karyk\'s shadow, and this shadow was even larger than the Wolf.
He felt like the shadow had opened its beastly jaws to devour him.
The wolf, sensing danger, twisted its massive body mid-leap, narrowly avoiding the shadow on the ground. Its fur rustled as it landed, skidding across the ravaged earth before regaining its footing.
Unfortunately, that sense of danger was still not gone. He again leapt up in the sky, trying to get away from here.
This human was strange. Even if it was disgusted by the human\'s aura, he didn\'t want to stay in his proximity. The human was dangerous, despite his small size. "Where are you going?" Karyk raided his left hand, his shadow coming out of the ground in the form of a vine that wrapped around the Wolf\'s body mid-air. The Wolf was strong, and even Karyk\'s vines couldn\'t stop him when he jumped. Instead, the strong wolf dragged Karyk\'s shadow with him as well.
"Since you are already here, then there is no need to leave."
Karyk ran forward, his shadow appearing beneath him, forming a staircase that lifted him higher with each step.
He sprinted up the shadow stairs, his target still too far away. As he reached the necessary height, he summoned all his strength and leaped higher.
The vines restraining the Wolf tightened, applying more force to slow it down.
The scythe in Karyk\'s hand grew with each passing second, until he towered above the giant Wolf.
The blade of his shadow scythe expanded, appearing to the Wolf as vast and ominous as the moon.
The Wolf tried to change direction upon seeing Karyk in front of him, but the vines held him firmly in place.
The giant Wolf saw the dark moon-like scythe flash before his eyes, its crescent arc descending straight towards his head.
The Wolf roared, shaking the entire landscape with its might. The roar abruptly ceased as the scythe cleaved through the Wolf\'s skull, slicing his body into two
halves.
The attack continued forward, its momentum unstoppable, eventually slicing the entire volcano in two, sending lava flying uncontrollably in all directions.
The sliced up corpse of the giant wolf, who had stayed in this place for centuries, fell from the sky. Even in death, it couldn\'t believe that such a small existence had taken
his life.
The corpse of the Wolf was swallowed by Karyk\'s shadow as soon as it fell. Nothing belonging to the corpse of the shadow wolf was left behind.
Soon after, Karyk also landed on the ground, standing on the platform made by his shadow, watching the lava trickle down under the floating platform.
"What a mess this place has become... But at least I received something useful. Isn\'t
that right...?"
The scythe in his hand disappeared, merging in his shadows.
"Rise!" he commanded.
