Chapter 9: The battle and The contract

After noticing Ed moving, the black wolf howled as if giving an order, and the other wolves started their assault.

Two of the wolves leaped at Ed trying to bite him, however, Ed was already prepared. He used his shadow steps to maneuver and dodge the two wolves and suddenly he was behind them.

Ed could feel the power-up he got after the spar. His movements were smoother and more concise, he wasn't at the level where he wouldn't leave any openings but it was a lot better than before.

After the wolves realized what had happened they turned around, Ed didn't attack them since he wanted to test himself before killing them. The other wolves didn't attack as well; it was as if they were studying Ed's movement.

"Nitoryu Nigiri!" Ed took a stance where his swords were parallel to each other and waited. Ed could now use more techniques thanks to his strength getting better.

The two wolves each attacked from one side trying to pincer Ed. However, he was prepared and focused only one them.

Just as the wolf on the right jumped; Ed used his technique "Toro!" and slashed his swords upwards. Although Ed still can't use air-projectiles, his slashes were deadly. The wolf dropped to the ground with blood gushing out as his head had two deep slashes on it.

Seeing the wolf die, his partner stopped in his tracks, It was afraid. Ed used this chance and pounced on the wolf, the latter was surprised as a sword came down on it faster than it could blink.

'Huh, what's this about?' Ed wondered what this was about.

[You can now view the experience needed for leveling up] The system explained.

'I'll have to check it out later now I need to focus on these wolves' Ed didn't have time to love concentration.

Seeing the two wolves dying; the black wolf howled again and all of the wolves moved. Five of them headed towards Ed while the other four went to Becky.

Ed got serious and activated his Sharingan, he couldn't afford to take it easy now. After the Sharingan was activated he could see things even more clearly and time slowed down.

He rushed towards the wolf closest to him and slashed. His actions were so fast that the wolf's head fell down before he could even make out what had happened.

Gained 300 exp.

The other wolves were surprised but still attacked him. Seeing that he was surrounded, Ed swung his swords around in a circular motion. Two wolves were already mid-air and got their foot chopped off, while the other two retreated back.

Ed finished the two wolves off since they couldn't do anything, and exp notices sounded in his head. Ed then made his way to the wolves that were left and it ended with a couple of swings of his sword.

After activating the Sharingan; Ed's movements were refined, even more, so 2 wolves couldn't be a challenge to him.

"Becky are you do-!" Turning around to see how Becky was doing, he found out that she had two wolves in her hands while the other two were dead on the ground.

'She didn't even use her sword, what the hell!!' Ed kept getting more surprised by this maid of his.

"GROWL!!" The wolf leader who was sitting down got up and growled. He was making his way to Ed.

"Don't butt in Becky!" Ed was afraid Becky would finish this all too quickly.

Ed started sprinting towards the black wolf as well, as soon as the wolf entered his range of attack he swung Murasame in an overhead strike, aiming for the wolf's head. The wolf, however, was quick on its feet and dodged the strike to the left.

These movements were seen clearly by Ed so he gripped his Murata-tou hard and swung in from his right forcing his body to follow it. His body twisted and turned while his sword was getting closer and closer to the wolf.

The wolf wasn't surprised at all and jumped backward dodging the sword strike.

Ed knew this wasn't going to end so easily so he still kept his cool and was looking at the wolf's eyes directly.

They both started moving and sword slashes, as well as howls, could be heard, they both had wounds on their bodies but it wasn't serious. They were dead even.

'I need to finish this soon' although they were both even; Ed knew this was thanks to his level 2 Sharingan. If he were to run out of time it would be a disaster.

Ed brought out his two Kunais and tried to use the same strategy he used against his father, only this time he used a tree as a target for Murasame to get stuck at.

After the plan was executed Ed found himself about to stab the wolf, however, he heard cracking sounds. It was a thunder attack. Ed got electrocuted and the wolf escaped his predicament.

The thunder attack didn't hurt Ed a lot but still caused to get paralyzed for a few seconds. 'Damn it! I forgot he was called a thunder wolf'

Ed looked at the wolf and noticed it was breathing hard, it was tired. 'It seems it can't use its thunder that regularly'

Ed and wolf started battling again; they were both tired and at their limit. Ed's eyes started hurting so he knew his time was almost up and got desperate.

He swung his left sword in a clumsy way, the wolf didn't let go of this chance and moved in to bite his hand. Ed could only bear with the pain and used his hand to latch on to the wolf.

'I got you now!!' Ed then stabbed the wolf with Murata-tou and felt the wolf's bite losing its force.

Both Ed and the wolf dropped to the ground.

'What a tough opponent this was, too bad it's going to die, it would make an excellent companion' As Ed was thinking about his battle with the wolf, his system notified him.

[Host, the wolf can be saved if you both agree on a soul contract]

Hearing the system, Ed's eyes lit up with hope and expectation.
