A cold breeze blows by.
I try my best to listen for any sound cue. Snow wolves are silent but occasionally they slip up.

*Tch*

!

A twig...huh.

I'm probably surrounded.

...

...

"Grrrr," a growl came.

I swiftly shift my musket to my left and shoot.

*BAM!*

"RARGHH!!"

Three wolves leap in from behind and two from the side.

I dive forward into a somersault to dodge the pounce and used Bullet Hell on the three wolves.

4 bullets managed to hit and killed one of them. The other two were hit in their legs and torso.

However, the wolves that came from the sides both managed to land a scratch on my arms as I jump back.

*BOOM!*

?!

Suddenly, something big bursts out of nowhere and bites firmly onto my body. The creature charges into a rocky wall and rams its prey to it.

"ARCGHK?!!" I grit my teeth and groan.

FUCK...

I put my musket to its skin.

*BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!!!!!!!*

"RARGH!?" the creature cries out.

The grip loosens and I shoot once more before kicking the creature away.

"Ugh...Luckily, I prepared." I mumble. Chainmail armour is under the coat I wear.

The creature is a wolf that is twice the size of the regular ones. In addition, its skin is black contrasting the white fur of regular snow wolves. Several purple crystal spikes are erected around its body, discharging electricity at its tip.

It's a tier 3 wolf...that must be the leader of the pack.

Two more snow wolves appear with the leader.

Damn it...Dexterity is a problem. I'm too slow to outrun any of them.

The wolves circle me as I slowly back off with my musket up. I glance around and see a cave.

!

An idea came to mind.

I walk towards the cave as much as I can until the wolves leap in. I then used Bullet Hell on the snowy ground, blasting clouds of water vapour and ice into the air as cover for me to run to the cave.

A wolf picks up my scent and leaps at me.

------------------------
Luck is in effect.
------------------------

My feet hit a rock and I stumble, unintentionally lowering my body to dodge that attack.

I reach the cave and stand my ground within.

The wolves approach the cave cautiously.

*BAM!!*

The bullet hits a wolf's head, killing it.
