A massive explosion occurs from the viscosity of the Badger bear blood and the Wolven. He took the blood of the Badger bear and coated with his black dagger while also creating a another dagger out of the Badger bear's blood. Each cut was a weak but intricate.
The alpha noticed too late and so the communication was delayed to his pack. They were wiped out and it got half of its mouth ripped off and damage to it's body. The alpha howls in anger and pain with the pack on the other side of embankment starting to attack.
A red glow shines in the eyes of the Alpha and one of the Wolven behind him increases their speed jumping on the Badger bear's body and pouncing at him. He can't dodge it and tries to minimize the damage but still gets a bad scratch to the back which pushes him forward.
Arthur tries to heal turning his back to the alpha and 3 Wolven but it's too late. He turns around to try to block the attack but doesn't completely block it getting a nasty empowered scratch on his chest and it pushes him away and into a tree with him coughing blood.
The Wolven continue to attack, chasing after him, but when they get close to where he should be. He is gone.
"I have to slow down the healing to use this skill." His heart is pounding and shaking from the intensity. He stays there for a few moments and thinks to himself. Arthur looks at the Alpha and sees the anger of the other Wolven and thinks "MICE YOU GENIUS".
Arthur in darkness sneak attacks the alpha but it dodges and jumps back. "Don't want to go down easy." he says as he stands in the blood from the explosion. "Here I go" he says as he breathes in through his nose and out of his mouth slowly while all the Wolven charge at him. "Don't just see it. Feel it." as he can see all the weak points of the Wolven.
System notification:
[Blood flow increase by 20%]
[Heart rate increase by 20%]
[Blood Pressure increase by 20%]
The pressure starts to get to him and he starts bleeding out of his nose and mouth. The Wolven get closer and closer...
SWOOSH.
Arthur gets inbetween the narrowest of gaps, slicing and dicing his way through until he just stops infront of the alpha. "You told them what to do" "But it didn't matter in the end". Arthur clicks his finger.
Each Wolven implodes from where the cuts originate from, but it's not over yet. Arthur starts to feel the after effect of using adrenaline rush and starts bleeding out of every orifice of his face and falls to one knee.
The alpha howls directly at Arthur and attacks him with an empowered claw with red aura around it. Arthur crosses his arms to block it but it isn't enough and gets hit with a force so great that he gets sent flying.
A large chunk of the wooded area get destroyed and as he lays there hurt. "I would of died if I didn't absorb all that blood". "What does it matter." "I don't have the power to move anymore".

The status window pops up and his stats have gone up again.
He barely looks at the notification as the light in his start to lose light.
That's really nice, but does it really matter right now.
Arthur starts to slowly get up and sees the alpha come towards him.
"I need to run away. RUN. GET OUT OF HERE. LIVE". All these thoughts start running through his head and he questions it. "Have i really changed?"
Arthur sees it again, another hallucination. He sees a younger version of himself walking up towards alpha. He gets into his stance. "Just like Lucifer" says young Arthur.
Arthur hears it and remembers his hatred. PAIN. He gets flashes of all who have wronged him.
Doubt and Fear. Constantly engulf my mind but when will i let go of it. I HAVE CHANGED. He shouts from the roof tops. His mind is stuck in a cycle of insecurity and a diminished sense of self. His mind constantly rattles on and yet it's coming.
"Believe in yourself" whispers a soft voice as he feels like he got a warm embrace that melted away everything. It released him the his shackles. A soft light disperses around him and the weight is gone.
He looks at the alpha with a soft gaze and raises his sword.
[Ruthless Slaughter Active]
Arthur's eye transforms into the eye of Odin and he gets into the same stance.
The Alpha pounces with it's crimson paw and attempts to smack him down but he lowers his stance to a back left sword strike. As the Alpha rips a part of his arm off, Arthur gets it's head off clean and it reverberates across the forest.
Arthur falls to his knees trying to heal his arm but it's too slow. A system notification appears but it's red.
