Chapter 6: Something doesn't feel right



"Let\'s rest here for now and eat some food before resuming our mission!" David spoke audibly as he opened one of the bags and brought out several plates of food and water bottles. He handed the plates over to his team and also gave Silas one.

Silas\'s eyes lit up in joy after retrieving the plate of food from David. He never expected to eat anything else after his food had been destroyed by the bullies back in the cafeteria.

Without wasting any time, he opened the plate and began to eat. A few minutes passed, and the group was now done eating and resting. Silas gathered the supplies, and they resumed their journey through the mountain top.

While walking forward with the glowing orb brightening their path, David suddenly halted his steps and signaled the group to do the same.

He glanced around the area with a serious look etched on his face before saying, "There is something on this mountain." He informed them as he placed his right hand on the hilt of his blade while glancing around.

The rest of the group drew out their weapons and prepared themselves for battle.

David kept glancing around the dimly lit area until he caught a glimpse of six glowing eyes in the shadows several meters away.

"Mutants!" David exclaimed as he unsheathed his blade and gripped it firmly with both hands while glancing in the direction of the glowing eyes.

The eyes began to move as they drew nearer until the group could finally see what it was. The mutant had the features of a wolf.

Razor-sharp fangs, claws that resembled daggers, black fur covering their whole bodies, pointy ears, and glowing red eyes.

"Grade Five mountain wolves, eh?" David pondered internally after examining the wolves standing several meters away. "Silas, go hide behind that rock!" David shifted his gaze towards Silas and uttered.

Silas hesitated for a few moments before dashing towards the rock and hiding behind it. While hiding behind the rock, he glanced at the wolves.

Just by looking at them, Silas could tell they were all Grade Five mutants. The group of staff members were all Grade Four mutant ability users, but with the help of their mutant armor and weapons, and their numbers, they had the upper hand in this fight.

The wolves were three in number, while the staff members were five. Even though a Grade Five mutant is much more powerful than a Grade Four mutant ability user, as long as the mutant is outnumbered, it would most likely be on the receiving end.

But that doesn\'t always work.

For example, if a group of Grade Four healers faced a single Grade Five wolf, the healers would get devoured because they don\'t possess any offensive power that they could use against the mutant. All they have is a defensive ability, which is healing.

Only those with offensive abilities can outshine a high-graded mutant in numbers.

"I wonder what abilities David and the group have. So far, they haven\'t used any of their mutant abilities." Silas pondered internally while hiding behind the rock.

The wolves still stood several meters away, saliva trickling down from their mouths as they glanced at the group of trespassers standing before them. After examining their prey for a few moments, they let out a loud howl before dashing forward on all fours.

"HERE THEY COME!" David alerted as he got into a battle stance, his gaze fixed on the mutant wolves dashing towards them.

The wolves arrived within striking distance and leaped into the air collectively, heading towards the group with their mouths wide open, hoping to bite off their heads with their vicious fangs.

Catching sight of the wolves heading towards them from above, the group leaped a few meters backward, causing the mutant wolves to miss their targets and land back on the ground.

One of the mutants swiftly regained composure and began to charge towards the group. Aisha placed an arrow in her bow, pulled it back, and released it.

The arrow traveled through the air at lightning speed and made its way toward the incoming mutant. Upon making contact with the mutant wolf, the arrow shattered instantly and bounced off without leaving a single scratch on it.

Aisha\'s eyes widened in shock as she swiftly shot three more arrows towards the wolf, only to be met with the same result.

The wolf finally closed the gap and leaped towards Aisha with its mouth wide open. David stepped in and swung his blade gracefully towards the wolf\'s head.

The blade sliced through it, separating the head from the neck. Green blood splattered around the area as the wolf\'s headless body hit the floor, and the head fell down beside it.

Silas, who watched from a distance, had a shocked expression on his face. He shifted his gaze towards David\'s skill slot and noticed the four bars at the center of it glowing brightly, with what looked like a red aura surrounding his whole body.

"He activated his mutant ability before swinging his blade. My guess is his mutant ability is super strength. But what\'s with that aura around him?" Silas pondered internally before shifting his gaze towards the rest of the group members behind David.

The three members had their hands stretched towards David, with a glowing bright light hovering over their palms.

"Ah, I see. Those guys have support mutant abilities. They probably enhanced David\'s super strength mutant ability, making it easier for him to defeat the wolf with a single strike." Silas\'s eyes widened slightly upon realization.

A loud howl snapped him back to reality as David charged towards the last two wolves and flashed his blade through the air. A single slash from his blade took off the heads of the wolves, and their lifeless bodies fell to the ground.

"Now that\'s how it\'s done. Great teamwork, guys." David turned and walked back to his group after sheathing his blade. "Let\'s hurry up. We\'ve spent enough time in this realm, and soon it will begin to collapse with us still inside," David added.

Silas came out of hiding and headed towards the dead wolves lying on the ground. He pulled out his short dagger, then dropped down on one knee and began carving out the claws and fangs of the wolves. He also carved out the glowing eyes and a few patches of fur before placing them in the bag.

While Silas was busy carving out the rest of the valuable body parts, he noticed the group having a secret discussion several meters away. They were whispering, making it impossible for Silas to hear a word they were saying.

"Something doesn\'t feel right here. They seemed to have had a discussion before we left the academy, and now they are having the same secret discussion that only I don\'t know about. Why do I feel like they are planning something?" Silas pondered internally, his gaze fixed on David and the group.
