Demon King Ascension System

Chapter 62: Sleeping Wolves (1)

“Rrr?”

“Yes Robus, we’re here and they’re over there. I need to make some preparations first. If we’re too close to them, then they would be able to hear or smell us. This is a good chance that we shouldn’t miss.”

Blake didn’t really know whether the demonic wolves were similar to the wolves that he knew back on earth that had good hearing and an extraordinary sense of smell.

But just in case they do have them, Blake took the extra measure to stay quite a distance away while doing his preparations to defeat the wolves that were currently sleeping some distance away from his current location.

Ever since Vera told Blake more about the demons in general, the different types of demons, the strength of demons living in the lower realm, and the fact that the never-ending forest that he lived in all this time was only a small island compared to the mainland in the first demon realm, Blake become more curious about the demons and his desire to travel the demon realm had also become bigger.

And as per his agreement with Vera, he needed to reach level 15 and evolve first before she would accompany his journey to the mainland and go to the gate that was connected to the next realm.

So just as usual, Blake continued exploring the forest with Robus, but he did it with even more fervor than before.

.....

Now it has been several days since Blake learned how to use his wings. He and Robus had traveled even deeper into the forest while keeping on eating every demon soul they met along the way.

Just as Blake had predicted, even though he had literally eaten any souls that he could get, even the tasteless bland one that he’s starting to dislike as his palette for eating souls grew, he was currently still stuck at level 10.

Blake hadn’t met any strong creatures for the past few days, but today, he and Robus were quite fortunate as they stumbled upon a group of sleeping wolves.

And when Blake observed them closely, Blake realized that there was something unusual about the wolves that he usually met along the way.

When Blake scanned each of the wolves, Blake noticed that one of the wolves was much, much bigger than the other wolves sleeping around it.

Not only that, other than its significantly bigger body, the wolf also had a silver streak painted across its light brown fur, which the other wolves didn’t have.

That noticeable difference might not mean anything since Blake had never seen for himself what the huge wolf with the silver streak could do that the other wolves couldn’t.

But from his prior experience and knowledge, Blake would have to assume that the silver streak means something and that the big wolf was possibly special compared to the other wolves.

Be it the alpha demonic wolf, a mutated demonic wolf, or something else that he didn’t know, Blake decided to target that wolf first and get rid of the unknown variable that it brought.

And to do that, of course, Blake would use his new single target spell that he had perfected for the past few days.

It still involves the earth spike, which was why Blake didn’t go near the wolves as the summoning of the earth spike caused a very noticeable sound and vibration on the ground, which could possibly wake up the wolves and made him lose the perfect chance that he got now to do a surprise sneak attack.

So after making sure that he was far enough that he could barely see the wolves anymore, Blake cast two earth spikes before plugging one out of the ground and told Robus to also plug the other one.

“Let’s go near them now. Follow me and make sure you walk on your tippy toes and don’t make too much noise.” Blake said to the humongous gorilla which clearly didn’t have a good build for stealth.

But of course, Robus tried his best.

Being a gorilla, Robus usually walked with his 4 limbs on the ground.

But after Blake told him to walk on his tippy toes, Robus tried to stand up like Blake and raised the ball of his feet, essentially relying on his two toes to support his giant body.

“r, Rr..” (Blake, I think I will fall...)

“No! Don’t! You’ll wake them up! And don’t take my words too literally! Just use your hands to walk like usual!” Blake quickly said when he heard Robus’ voice and turned his head to see what the gorilla was doing behind him.

Hearing Blake’s voice, Robus quickly lowered his hand and put them softly on the ground, regaining the balance of his body without falling or creating any loud noise.

“Just walk like usual, but try to avoid breaking as many sticks on the ground as possible, okay?” Blake looked at the huge gorilla while scratching the back of his head.

‘Remember Blake, although he had somehow gotten much smarter than before, he was still quite simple.’ Blake reminded himself as he himself tiptoed and walked past the trees, getting closer and closer to the wolves.

Robus also followed behind him, bending his body left and right to make sure he didn’t brush the tree trunks with his huge body, and placing his limbs on the ground slowly to minimize the sound that he created with each of his steps.

Soon, the two of them finally arrived about 50 meters away from the wolves’ location, and Blake quickly stopped moving a single step further as he was afraid that it was already the maximum distance that he could go before the wolves would notice him and the almost impossible-to-miss huge gorilla.

“Let’s do this just like what we had practiced before, Robus.” Blake half-whispered to the gorilla.

Blake then carefully placed his earth spike on the ground near him before walking around the area to find something that he needed to do his sneak attack.

After finding two trees that were somewhat parallel with each other, Blake called Robus over before casting two single darkness tendrils spells with each hand.

“Pass it to me,” Blake spoke after he attached the two darkness tendrils to the two trees.

And as if they had done this several times before, Robus quickly gave the earth spike in his hand and positioned the base of the earth spike towards Blake.

Blake then attached the two darkness tendrils to the base of the earth spike just like what he had done before with his first prototype of the spell.

But apparently, Blake wasn’t done yet as he told Robus to hold onto the earth spike that was already attached with the two darkness tendrils before casting another two darkness tendrils and attaching them again to the earth spike, essentially attaching the earth spike with four darkness tendrils at the same time.

‘Different from me, Robus was much stronger than me. He should be able to get the maximum potential with 4 darkness tendrils attached.’ Blake thought as he made the last-second changes to his spell.

After that, Blake walked up to the front, the sharp edge of the earth spike, and drew a set of new runes that he had just created two days ago.

The new set of runes resulted in the tip of the earth spike having a dark ball of darkness attached to it.

“All done,” Blake said after he saw the small dark ball of darkness stay at the tip of the earth spike.

“Wait for me here,” Blake said after he walked back towards the direction of his earth spike.
