The Place Where Everything Begins

"!!"

Upon hearing those sounds coming from somewhere nearby, the little deer's droopy eyes widened in shock.

At the same time, it didn't even glance back to see what's coming at it at all, as the shocking deer hurriedly jumped forward, trying to flee as fast as possible.

However, it was already too late...

*Chomp*

*Thud*

The startling deer's hind leg was bitten firmly by the white wolf coming from its right side. Hence both wolf and deer dropped to the ground together with a thudding sound.

Afterward, there was no need for any explanation, for the deer's fate was already sealed in stone the moment it fell to the ground...

*Chomp* *Chomp*

*Whine*

The miserable deer's whining sound followed the wolves' chewing noises; it was eaten alive by the two white wolves...

'Well, this should be the time for a charming prince to appear, albeit a tad bit slow to help the damsel in distress...'

Upon seeing the gore, carnivorous sight at several ten meters away, Jeremy walked forward slowly.

*Snap*

Along the way, Jeremy stepped on a dried twig as it snapped...

To tell the truth, he didn't even care if he stepped on a twig or not, for he knew that the wolves wouldn't let their hard-earned meal go to waste.

Those two white wolves would try their best to protect the juicy, delicious meal...

That's why...

"!!"

"Woolf!?"

The two wolves' ears twitched at the sudden snapping sound that had interrupted their sumptuous meal midway.

Afterward, they turn their heads towards the source of the noise.

Unquestionably, they spotted a walking black-cloaked human marching towards them ever so slowly with a long, dangerous-looking object in hand, swinging left and right rhythmically.

"Graaa!!"

"Kraa!!"

Both wolves growled and threatened the incoming black being to go away and leave them alone with their fleshy meal.

How did someone dare to intrude while they were having their splendid meal?

Regardless, the human in front of them didn't pause even a single step.

So, the two winter wolves could only put a short stop to their delicious meal for now, albeit reluctantly.

Then, not waiting for the human to come any closer, the two wolves rushed furiously towards the meal-interrupter.

Once Jeremy saw the four-legged animals were behaving pretty simple-minded worthy of their organism of the lowest rank, he gripped the spear shaft tightly as a welcome gesture towards the two.

If anyone looked at his face now, they would see Jeremy was actually smiling.

He smiled at the incoming bloodshed...

When the wolves almost reached him, Jeremy plunged his spear toward the wolf on his right side swiftly.

*Whoosh* *Puchi*

The spear thrust was too fast for the wolf, causing its prey not to realize at all what actually happened to it while the prey's body dropped to the pale-snowy ground, dyeing the white background with the reddish blood of its own.

The first wolf was dead just like that...

Then Jeremy retracted the spear forcefully while spinning his body half round to the left side, making the spear come along with his body's momentum.

As another wolf was already in mid-air, leaping towards Jeremy's left flank quickly, it was then thrashed with the spear shaft in mid-air...

*Bam*

The wolf's body was thrashed with the solid spear shaft before its body bounced away some meters away from the point of contact.

'Easy...'

Jeremy thought to himself lightly while walking towards the wimpy wolf on the ground.

Right now, Jeremy only thought that his preys were easy to be hunted, as he didn't think at all that his strength was actually at a level beyond an ordinary human almost two or three times. As a result, Jeremy could defeat these savage animals almost effortlessly.

Regarding his strength and latent physical power were apparently the result of his daily meditation and body training.

Even though most of his physical power came from meditating, including the side effects of having mana particles within his body, the body and spear training that Jeremy did in the past months also helped improve his body for quite a bit.

Ironic, it was, for a mage to have a strong body. Albeit, not as strong as those warrior pathways, a mage was still stronger than ordinary people to a large extent.

Just like that, Jeremy reached the wolf's side, then he stopped and raised his spear slightly.

*Puchi*

Jeremy pierced the spear directly at the wolf's abdomen whereas avoiding its vital areas.

As the wound wasn't that deep, killing the pitiable wolf didn't seem to be his purpose then.

"Arff. Arff..."

After being stabbed so abruptly, the wolf whimpered.

Then...

*Puchi*

Jeremy pierced again at another place near the old wound, also avoiding any fatal region on the wolf's body like the previous time.

"Arff..."

"..."

"Awoooooooo!!"

Having unable to tolerate any more pain, the dying wolf steeled its guts before howling loudly into the air.

"Alright, that should be enough."

*Puchi*

As the stab was aimed directly at its neck area this time, the poor wolf was finally dead.

"Now then, other 'preys' should be coming this way soon. This should be entertaining."

Earlier Jeremy's actions of torturing the poor wolf were simple; he wanted to prove that his thoughts earlier about this place not having any alpha and beta wolf were correct or not.

If within this normal-difficulty trial didn't dwell any alpha or beta wolf, this place must be filled with hundreds of the submissive omega wolves without any leader then.

If so, when those omega wolves had heard their friend's cry for help, there would be only some of them come to rescue. In comparison, another significant portion of those wolves would remain idly and uncaring because the crying wolf was not related to them at all.

Furthermore, the omega wolves staying within this vicinity would also smell some iron, fishy smell of the two dead wolves' blood, which would draw in even more omega wolves from around this location.

However, if there happened to be an alpha wolf or two, Jeremy would have difficulty handling those savage animals as they could draw in even more underlings from their pack.

"Awoooo..."

"Wooolfff!!"

"Oowooooo..."

"Graaa..."

Not even one minute later, several wolves howling and growling sounds came from every direction...

If anyone else, instead of Jeremy, stood here, that person might have shrieked and trembled in fear already.

But Jeremy was different...

As he was smiling jovially from within his heart, he felt excited at the forthcoming carnage.

'It couldn't be more fun to kill countless weaklings trying to gang up on me...'

'As I will annihilate them into nothingness... as always...'

With those ruthless thoughts in mind, Jeremy gripped his spear firmly while turning his head towards his left side.

Three wolves were coming from that direction...

"Greetings, soon-to-be carcasses."

Having said that, Jeremy dashed forward speedily.
