Alexander, who was cornered, racked his brains when suddenly the leader of the pack of wolves pounced on him. It rushes forward, its speed was fast as it opened its jaws again with excitement on its face.
Seeing this, Alexander could not help but find this chance to counterattack. As the face of the wolf was closing on him, Alexander decided to confront it. When it was within range, Alexander held its opened jaw with all his strength.
His back was now connected to the tree, as he held its mouth from the lower and upper part.
"System add all the free points in strength," Alexander commanded inwardly.
[Affirmative Host]
Then he suddenly felt an increase in power. The wolf, who was grinning from ear to ear, as he increased his power into its bite force. But suddenly, he felt that his opponent seems to become stronger.
He saw that the human in front of him was looking at him with a malicious grin on its face, a forbidding doom came washing within him. Its fur stood up on its end as he felt his mouth was being forced to widen.
The wolf struggled and wanted to escape, but Alexander did not let him escape. His companions behind him wanted to help, but when they pounced on Alexander, he just snorted and kicked the two wolves in the face, making them roll back on the ground.
Alexander looked at the wolf in front of him, meeting its eyes. It was filled with fear as he looked at Alexander.
"You could have won if you weren't so arrogant. As the leader of this group, you made the wrong decision to attack me alone," Alexander said, his voice dripping with wrath, his blue eyes ablaze with murderous intent.
His companions behind him wanted to help, but they can't stop Alexander, whose eyes are full of madness, and they are too weak to fight the human in front of him and saved their leader.
Because during their attack earlier, their leader is the one who came to save them whenever Alexander wanted to counterattack. Making Alexander to retreat, but now that their leader is captured, it's hard for them to have a confrontation towards Alexander.
He then gripped the wolf's massive jaw, digging his fingers into its flesh until blood began to drip down to his elbows. He carried it upwards, making the wolf struggle when he felt his feet are not on the ground anymore. With a fierce expression, Alexander applied more force, stretching the jaw open in the opposite direction.
With the sound of flesh being teared and the wolf's howl in pain, the wolf can't do anything but let Alexander do his thing, it was fully stretched as blood began to spew. When it was fully stretched the wolf stop his struggle, feeling no movement Alexander throw its body making it fall on the ground as it shook.

Hearing this and knowing what kind of animal it is, Alexander then moved his gaze towards the remaining saberwolves. Who are looking at him full of fear, they step back when they sensed his gaze and its lustfulness to kill.
Seeing this, Alexander tightened his brows and rushed towards them. Since they planned to kill him in the first place, killing them is also the right choice, he thought inwardly.
The wolves, seeing him rushing forward, turned their backs, which is a grave mistake. Before they could even run, Alexander stomped the first saberwolf with his foot. The power within his leg was strong because when it hit the wolves' back, it pinned him down on the ground. It even caved in as cracks formed on the ground.
Seeing another companion in front of them die in just a few seconds, they were scared shitless. The human in front of them is so ruthless and strong, just like a devil itself.

[You just leveled up.]
Alexander did not put his attention on the system announcement and rushed to rest. When he appeared to the second one, he kicked it with full force as it whistled through the air. He hit its head, which broke its skull and damaged its brain, unaliving it.
He then appeared to the rest in the speed of light, they even tried to struggle but how can their strength be able to match Alexander that is like a grim reaper killing them one by one.

When only one remaining, this is the first time for the predator, the hunter of the night, felt true fear, seeing Alexander's menacing eyes. It was trembling in fear as its senses screamed to escape and flee, but it seems to be frozen in its place.
Alexander then teleported in front of the wolf, holding it by its neck. The saberwolf struggled as it howled in pain. But Alexander, who was filled with coldness, looked at him with the smile of a devil, seeming like he was enjoying it. He then strengthened his grip as a snapping sound was heard.
Alexander just broke its neck. The saberwolf could only look at the human who killed him without any challenge at all. Then finally, he eliminated all of the saberwolves.

[Yeah right]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The system responded sarcastically, hearing his inside thoughts. Then it scanned the saberwolf in front of him, so Alexander can take a look of its information.
[Scanning complete]
[Saberwolf
Description: A beast in the forest known for its great hunting skills and teamwork when hunting prey. This beast was not a problem if they were alone, but if they are in a group, it will be a disaster. This beast split up from their pack to hunt more food.
Whenever one of the group died, they received a signal using their bloodline, 'Bloodflare Kin', which stimulates their blood and can use this to locate the location of the dead body and avenge their kind.
If a person would have killed a whole group, he must escape or it will be too late, since they are everywhere in the forest.]
Alexander, reading the information was stupefied, "There's actually such a thing," he twitched his lips with his jaw clenched, while observing his surroundings.
That's when he heard a rustle and a lot of footsteps from all directions, making his eyes flutter. He knew that he can't escape now, since they have already surrounded him from all directions. He has been standing here for about 15 minutes now, giving its pack a good amount of time to already surround him.
Then Alexander, who's in the center, was encircled by a lot of saberwolves. He was like a vegetable on a chopping board, ready to be devoured at any moment. He felt his scalp went numb, and the hair on his body stood.
Alexander had no confidence if he can survive this, since back in his world, there were only humans that can't let him feel what true danger is. But this world made him realize how weak he is in front of the so-called danger, since danger is everywhere in this world.
But even though he was really scared, a smile could not help but spread across his face. Alexander didn't know why is this happening, but he felt that the more he was in danger, the happier he was, not knowing the reason why.
When he killed the Loomhopper, he felt really bad and guilty, but his personality seems to shift, a massive turn he could not help but want to experience the feeling of killing again.
"System, add all of my free points to Agility," Alexander mumbled in a low voice as he took a stance.
He felt that agility is a great choice, since it can improve his ability to move fluidly and enhance his flexibility to dodge their attacks. Since in front of him were a lot of saberwolves that filled the place.
There are even red glowing eyes in the dark that their gaze is only at him. It was uncountable and must be around 100 or even above than that.
"Come," Alexander shouted with a taunt as he leaped forward.
This time he will test his endurance and skills, since dying will not really kill him, so this made him be able to act unrestrained. The saberwolves, seeing his movement, rushed at him in all directions. It's like a swarm of big mosquitoes going after him.
