Chapter 41: A Lucky Break?
Chapter 41: A Lucky Break?
The 'little one' in front of Manclaw was none other than Rain! As Rain faced the rampaging werewolf charging towards him, he knew that Hamilton had already inflicted severe injuries upon it, severing one of its arms. The werewolf's strength was now diminished, perhaps only half or even less of its original power. Rain didn't need to defeat it; he only needed to delay it for a few seconds, and the Night Watch elite would quickly surround it, ensuring its capture.
Was it dangerous to intercept it? Of course, it was!
Rain, with his passive ability 'Danger Sense Level 1', felt his heart pounding with alarm.
But when Rain thought about the incident in the servant's dormitory the night before, he couldn't help but shudder.
If such a ferocious and terrifying monster lurked near Flashing Gold Town every day, Rain feared that misfortune might strike him or his family and friends at any moment.
Although Rain was still far from becoming a full-fledged knight and couldn't release his body's limitations like Hamilton, he had other tricks up his sleeve. He was confident that he could hold off the werewolf for a few seconds.
Seeing Rain's determination to confront the enemy head-on, Hamilton's face turned anxious, and he shouted, "Rain, get out of the way!"
Manclaw's heart raced as he sensed the gust of wind behind him. Instinctively, he spun around and retaliated with a claw strike.

With its injuries worsening, Manclaw felt its body struggling to keep up with its brain's commands.
Manclaw stumbled and fell to the ground, its massive body twitching uncontrollably. The grass around it quickly turned red with blood.
Rain roared, gripping his half-sword tightly, and leaped high into the air. Like lightning, he slashed down at the enormous rampaging werewolf in front of him. Due to his usual training with the heavy two-handed greatsword, he was forced to use the lighter half-sword, which reduced his power significantly but nearly doubled his speed.
In the next moment, Rain lifted his head and glared at the severely wounded rampaging werewolf.
He had blocked it without a scratch!
Before the fight, Rain had felt a surge of emotions—worry, fear, hesitation—when facing such a formidable opponent.
He was utterly surprised!
The werewolf's ferocious appearance, indifferent eyes, and towering stature alone were enough to instill fear in those who had not yet transcended, even without its intimidating aura.
But before this joy could even register on his face, Manclaw sensed another gust of wind behind him.
Although letting the rampaging werewolf escape would have severe consequences, Hamilton didn't want to see a promising young man die before his eyes. Hamilton and the Night Watch elite immediately gave chase, running at full speed towards the werewolf.
However, Manclaw's right claw, its only usable limb, had been slashed by Rain, leaving a deep gash that significantly reduced its claw strike's power.
Seizing the opportunity while Rain held the werewolf back, Hamilton gathered all his strength and charged towards the werewolf's back. He raised his knight's longsword and instantly executed a straight stab!
Rain's face turned solemn as he focused his mind, silently chanting the Blacksmith's Might. With the release of this core skill, his strength stat on the panel surged from 10 to 10 (+4)! The next second, a thick, warm current pumped from Rain's heart, as if he had injected a massive dose of adrenaline, accelerating his blood flow and tightening his muscle fibers like steel wires.
He had never felt so powerful before! "Leap Strike!"
Rain stood in place, breathing heavily, his chest heaving like a bellows.
They had just witnessed the sheer strength of this rampaging werewolf, which was on par with Hamilton, a full-fledged knight.
Hamilton's sword pierced Manclaw's left chest, and blood instantly seeped out. But in the next moment, Hamilton was sent flying by the werewolf's claw strike.
So, considering the density of the skull, which is the hardest bone in the body, Rayn decisively used a horizontal slice!
In the first collision with the Rampaging Werewolf, he discovered that his strength of 14 points was not enough to sever the beast's claws, indicating the toughness of its body.
In the life-or-death battle, although it lasted only a few seconds, he put his all into every move.
"Thud, thud, thud!"
In that instant, Manclaw only saw a graceful silver arc flash before its eyes.
At this moment, Hamilton could no longer hold back the pain from his previous injuries. As he staggered in mid-air, multiple wounds on his body burst open, spraying blood, and with a loud "boom," he fell heavily to the ground.
Rayn felt as if a ferocious tiger had suddenly awakened within him.
Retreating over ten steps, Rayn's face flushed from the intense exchange.
"Blacksmith's Strength!!"
Even with its tenacious vitality, the werewolf couldn't last long with its carotid arteries on both sides of its neck severed, causing blood to gush out like a fountain.
What did this mean? Two words: capable!

Manclaw immediately used its intact right claw to strike at its opponent with a swift claw attack, "Boom!!"
Fortunately, Rayn had experience fighting thugs and had been in real combat; otherwise, he would have been defeated before the battle even began!
Manclaw felt a flash of silver before its eyes and experienced a sharp pain in its right claw. At the same time, it sensed a force from the opponent's sword that was not much weaker than its own. Then, to Manclaw's surprise, it was knocked back several meters by the seemingly insignificant 'Little One's' strike. Rayn, after being struck by Manclaw's claw, flew backward even faster than when he had approached.
Could it be that this Rampaging Werewolf's strength was already ten times that of a normal one, allowing Rayn to take advantage of its weakness? Rayn's strike also caught Sir Hamilton's attention, making him smile. Although he was also heavily injured, he immediately clenched his muscles to staunch the bleeding and, with a powerful kick, sent dirt flying.
The next second, Manclaw felt a tingling sensation on its neck and touched it, only to find blood oozing out. It clutched its neck, trying to speak, but only bubbles emerged from its mouth, "Gurgle." Its fierce gaze gradually faded, becoming lifeless. "Plop!"
Rayn's strike had sent the opponent flying, almost blinding their eyes with its speed.
Seeing the 'Ironskin' he had struck lying there, Manclaw felt a surge of joy.
Just now, Rayn had recalled Claire's teachings during the Leap Strike, adjusting his sword angle from a vertical downward slash to a horizontal slice.
"Pfft!"
Although Rayn had a good plan, he realized it was more challenging when facing a Rampaging Werewolf.
The heavily injured Manclaw was astonished to see the 'Little One' daring to swing its sword at it, and in that moment, it felt like a mighty beast being provoked by an ant.
But after a genuine clash, all these chaotic emotions were swept away from Rayn's mind. At this moment, he was brimming with confidence. Rayn's strike left the Night Watch Elite, who had caught up, in awe.
After all, the neck is much softer.
The exchange between Rayn, Manclaw, and Sir Hamilton was swift. Before the Night Watchmen could take two steps, the battle was over!
At this moment, they stood there, their eyes wide and mouths agape, witnessing the scene before them. Especially Rayn's small frame, which displayed explosive power and a fearless, aggressive demeanor, gave them the impression of a tiny kitten suddenly transforming into a ferocious tiger. "Good! Hahaha! Cough, cough."
Sir Hamilton, seeing Rayn's victory over Manclaw, couldn't help but laugh heartily. However, with his injured lungs, he immediately started coughing uncontrollably.
