Accumulated injuries were slowing the man’s movents.
"This Shadow skill sucking dry, and my senses have already started dying because of my injuries.
Do sothing if you don’t want both of us dead," the man said between exchanging blows.
Harry checked his screen in a hurry.

Harry started looking for options. He considered upgrading Space Barrier, but the increased essence consumption would be a problem.
Instead, he leaned toward unlocking a new skill in the Blood elent.
He was frustrated "Why can’t the system just show what I’ll get after spending those 10 stat points?"
He cursed out loud.
"You better give sothing good!"
[New Skill: Hemostasis Unlocked]
[Hemostasis - Level 1]
Accelerated healing and Accelerated recovery from fatigue.
Harry pald his head in frustration.
"You retarded system," he muttered.
With that, he decided and summoned a black longsword into his hands.
A sudden rush of energy surged through Harry, all his fatigue vanishing. He encased the sword with soul energy and attacked the beast.
The beast had already noticed him and defended against the soul energy, while the physical attack wasn’t even enough to leave more than a scratch on its skin.
Harry could feel his power increasing through the Soul Judgnt Sword, but there was a limit—his cultivation wasn’t high enough to unleash the sword’s full power.
anwhile, the man was drenched in blood, his movents sluggish. Harry knew that if he didn’t act fast, they would both die.
The man could have fled at any ti—so why was he risking his life?
A stern will flashed in Harry’s eyes, a chilling aura encasing his entire presence.
He rushed toward the beast, forming a barrier ahead of him. He jumped to a height and, with a downward swing, struck the beast with his blade.
The impact sent Harry flying backward. He tasted iron in his mouth.
In the anti, he heard a voice.
"We will et again... if you survive."
When he turned toward the voice, a shadow was already vanishing into the distance.
"Finally, you decided," Harry chuckled.
Harry wasn’t in panic anymore because his plan had worked.
The beast had been deceived by his Shadow technique.
But it wasn’t because he had mastered the Shadow technique—his mastery was still stuck at 9%.
Instead, he had used soul energy to enhance his sword, then created a space barrier to hide it, and then encased it with Qi to deceive the beast.
At the last mont, just before his sword struck, he dismissed the barrier—allowing the blade to bypass the beast’s defenses and directly wound its soul.
Now, there was no one left to help him. His friends were already in intense battles against the wolves. The only silver lining was that Tyler was sohow managing to keep them together.
Harry struggled to stand. He had no choice—this was his only chance.
The beast was regaining its senses.
It had already strengthened its soul defenses in anticipation.
Harry took long strides, struggling through the pain, and switched his sword for better control.
Using Phantom Stride, he tricked the beast’s already slow-working mind.
He used the Shadow technique again—but this ti, he didn’t use a barrier, sothing the beast had expected.
The beast focused entirely on strengthening its soul defenses, making its physical defenses weaker. But even then, its body was strong enough to take a direct hit.
Harry had different plans.
Ducking beneath the beast’s snapping jaws, he skidded underneath it and reached behind.
Then—he thrust his sword forward.
"HOWL...!!!"
The beast roared in pain.
The sword had been stabbed into its butt.
Seeing the scene, even Harry was frightened. Unintentionally, he checked his own butt.
But Harry had no choice—this was the only way to survive.
The sword was still embedded in the beast’s body while Harry pulled out the Soul Judgnt Sword.
Using the last of his energy reserves, he struck again. The beast’s massive form shrank as it burned through its healing reserves.
There was no fat left. The essence that he turned to use blood elent and injure the wolf was now helping.
The wolf had lost it’s ability to heal.
Even if there would have been slow regeneration than it wouldn’t work since the sword was still embedded in it butt.
The beast tried to run, but its speed was already plumted. Harry caught up to it.
The beast’s eyes were still full of pride.
It growled at Harry as if trying to say sothing.
"I can let you live, but accept my offer."
With that, Harry attempted a Forced Soul Contract—but it failed.
Frustrated, Harry attacked again.
While the beast focused on defending against his sword, Harry sent out a Soul Pulse—disrupting the beast’s senses.
At that mont, he rushed behind it and retrieved his sword.
The injury started healing—but not as quickly as before, since the beast had no fat left.
Now free, the beast roared and launched an all-out attack.
Harry was in a tough spot—he had no energy left to use Space Barrier or manipulate blood. Even his own blood was leaking from small injuries.
As the beast’s attack ca barreling toward him, Harry knew—if this hit landed, he wouldn’t be able to fight back.
And if he survived the attack he will get enough chance to win the fight, but that was the main question.
"How?"
