Chapter 80  Fight or Flight

Alex was in a standoff with the beast, but he knew he was at a clear disadvantage.

He couldn\'t sense the exact level of the beast, which concerned him a little. But he would have to face the wolf either way. There was no escaping out of the cave, so this was his only choice.

Not to mention the wolf was his only saving grace in terms of food in the dark and damp cave.

The wolf facing him finally launched an attack, and a gleaming claw specked with dust and dirt slashed towards Alex, bringing along a rush of wind.

"Huff!" Alex shouted as he controlled his breathing, concentrating his strength into his arms as he swept them to the right, striking the incoming claws away.

Bang!

Alex felt an intense shock and pain travel up his arms from the impact with the wolf, making him feel as though he had been struck by a truck in a head on collision.

\'This wolf\'s strength is much higher than mine, If I keep blocking like this, I\'ll be out of juice before I can even put up a fight. I need to finish this quickly!\'

Block!

Dodge!

Attack!

Alex used all the techniques and movements he had in his arsenal, but the wolf was just too strong.

Without a proper weapon, he couldn\'t deal enough damage to actually pierce through its tough skin, only being able to knock it away a few times with the kinetic impacts he gave with his punches.

The wolf came in for another attack, it was at least twice as fast than all the previous attacks it had launched on him.

\'It\'s just been toying with me since the beginning! It hasn\'t even been using its full strength this whole time…\'

Alex was shocked at the sudden speed increase of the wolf. It was like he could see a smirk on the beast\'s face, like it was mocking him.

At that moment, Alex used his waist to exert power. Strength gathered in his hands as they whistled through the air and slammed towards the wolf.

Thump! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Alex felt his fist meet with the wolf\'s paw, but it seemed as if it had little effect in stopping its tyrannical approach as it swatted away his counterattack.

"Arggh!" Alex yelped out in pain, his hand and fingers completely broken by the impact. The sheer impact of the blow made him tremble, and he tried to retreat backwards.

Seeing Alex attempting to escape, the wolf\'s eyes flashed once and kicked off the ground.

Within less than a second it reached Alex\'s position as it slashed down on Alex with its menacing claws, drawing an arc across his back all the way from his shoulders to his tailbone.

Alex screamed miserably. It turned out the wolf\'s claws had dug deep into his back, just barely missing his spinal cord but ripping his back muscles to shreds in the process. He crawled back in retreat, the wolf not bothering to charge up this time as it stood in place and watched as Alex pathetically hobbled his way back onto his feet.

\'Shit! Shit! Shit!, I might actually die here!\'

The situation quickly took a turn for the worse as Alex realised that he was outmatched by his opponent.

With absolutely no idea what to do, Alex summoned up his last bit of courage and charged in towards the wolf.

It was do or die in this scenario for him.

Only this time, instead of relying on his instincts to fight, he followed the movements he had learned from his sessions of Phoenix fury and applied them to his fight with the wolf.

So far, he had only taken the slow and passive approach to learning this technique, as he had never actually put it to use in battle before.

But as he assumed the stances according to the technique, he felt something inside of him resonate with it, as if it was the missing link between himself and his technique.

\'Fire element!\'

Alex watched as fire elemental energy not only gathered around him from the atmosphere surrounding him, but also flowing throughout his body and fusing within it.

Within moments, his body temperature rose by dozens of degrees, hot steam rising off of him as his skin started to glow orange.

It didn\'t take long for Alex to realise what was happening to him.

The latent fire energy inside him had resonated with Phoenix fury, and had even infused itself within him.

He felt a massive boost to his strength, with fiery blood running through his veins and coursing throughout his body.

On the side lines, the wolf watched on with wonder, completely unaware of what was happening to Alex.

All it understood was that he had started glowing out of nowhere. It only felt a little alarmed at what it was seeing when it saw steam rising off of him, and it could even feel the temperature rising around itself.

Alex\'s eyes shifted, moving towards the legs of the wolf.

\'That\'s it\'s weakness!\'

He hadn\'t noticed it beforehand because he had to defend his life the whole time, but even now the wolf was protecting its legs the most.

Not wanting to waste this precious chance, he let loose and charged towards the wolf.

The very ground melted beneath his feet with every step he took. At least he was the only human down in the weird cave, otherwise this would have caused quite some awkward scenes.

"Kill!" Alex\'s eyes flashed in a maniacal red as he fought the wolf, seemingly having comprehended something.

His flaming hands slashed downwards, bringing an orange light wherever it went.

As it slashed down towards the ground, Alex\'s body twisted, and strength was exerted into his powerful waist muscles. With great centrifugal force, he hacked down!

The wolf had fully expected this by now, and had moved its head just in time to dodge the attack.

But it was sent flying backwards into the wall anyway, with a charred stump in place of one of its front legs!

Slashing with his hands had been a feint that whole time!

It had all been in preparation for Alex to deliver a powerful kick!
