One-Eyed Demonic Wolf, Let's Gamble!

One-Eyed Demonic Wolf—a Bo City Magic Theory Must-Test Question, a key point hammered home in demonology class. It wasn't tested the first two years, so it's definitely coming this year.

Brutal, greedy, bloodthirsty—all traits of this terrifying demon. The most chilling part? In the One-Eyed Demonic Wolf's diet, humans rank first.

"Damn it!"

When Xu Fang realized a One-Eyed Demonic Wolf was nearby, he knew they were in deep trouble.

Though also a Servant-level Demon, the One-Eyed Demonic Wolf was no match for the Giant-Eyed Stinky Rat. It usually took a Level 3 Beginner Mage leading the charge, with three or four Level 2 Beginner Mages backing them up, to take one down.

"Light Burst!"

A star pattern emerged, light magic compressed into a sphere. Xu Fang hurled it high into the air, its glow visible from miles away.

"You threw that way off!" an Energetic Young Man said.

"Shut up!"

Xu Fang's face darkened. "If you don't want to die, listen to my orders. Everyone ditch your phones, scatter, and don't look back!"

His expression sent a chill through the Social People who had just been relaxing.

This mage... didn't seem like a match for that wolf?

"Drive!"

Xu Fang jumped onto the back of a Ghost Fire scooter. The Energetic Young Woman in front frantically twisted the throttle, revving the engine.

"Stop trying to lean into the turn and just drive straight!"

He smacked her helmet, then looked back. Under the pale moonlight, he saw a writhing black shadow charging toward them.

It was a creature with powerful hind legs. Though it ran on all fours, it stood a terrifying three meters tall!

But what made the hair on everyone's neck stand up was its eye.

On its massive wolf head, a single eye gleamed under the cold night light like a demon hunting for souls!

One-Eyed Demonic Wolf!

The Energetic Young Men screamed in terror. They hadn't expected their friend to be such an easy meal.

The One-Eyed Demonic Wolf locked onto its target, lunging straight at a Ghost Fire scooter. It bit down on the Energetic Young Woman in the back seat, who had been editing a social media post, and swallowed her in a few quick crunches.

The rest went insane with fear!

One Energetic Young Man wet himself on the spot. His body went limp, the Ghost Fire lost balance, and he spun off like a giant top.

Bleeding from his face, he crawled desperately: "Help, help..."

The One-Eyed Demonic Wolf's single eye flashed with bloodlust. It opened its gaping maw.

"Fire Spark!"

A wall of flame erupted between the man and the wolf. The One-Eyed Demonic Wolf's snout seared by the fire, it howled in pain.

Its furious gaze turned toward the source of the flames.

Across the moonlight, Xu Fang faced off against the One-Eyed Demonic Wolf!

"Was that a Light Burst?"

Under the pitch-black sky, a streak of light stood out sharply, trailing a long tail—gorgeous and romantic.

But to Hunter Mages and Military Mages, that Light Burst meant only one thing—

"Quick! Someone's calling for help—they're under demon attack!"

"It's definitely a One-Eyed Demonic Wolf! One showing up this close to the city—what the hell are the Military Mages doing?"

"Doesn't matter what it is, save them first!"

"Yang Zuohe from the Magic Association is already on his way!"

No one doubted the Light Burst's authenticity. In this world, firing off a random Light Burst into the sky was the same as making a prank call to the police—except the former was treated even more seriously, since mages were a critical social resource.

On the other side.

Under the moonlight, a scooter and a wolf chased each other back and forth. Clearly, the One-Eyed Demonic Wolf was faster—twenty meters, and one burst of speed would close the gap.

But seeing the star patterns forming around Xu Fang, the wolf hesitated, slowing its pace warily.

"Bro! Dad! I'm sorry, I'll never be a Social Person again! Can you ride with someone else?"

The Energetic Young Woman in front was crying, her heavy makeup smearing into a mess. Just encountering a One-Eyed Demonic Wolf was enough to scar her for life, but now the mage on the back seat had drawn aggro with a fire spell, making the beast chase only her.

Her guy friends and girl friends had all vanished, leaving her alone, jumping back and forth on the line between life and death.

Xu Fang ignored her.

He was almost out of mana.

Earlier, he'd used a Crimson Fire Light Array on the Giant-Eyed Stinky Rat. Though it successfully strengthened the Star Seeds, the mana spent hadn't been replenished.

And just now, to save that Energetic Young Man, he'd released another Fire Spark, leaving his mana stretched thin.

The One-Eyed Demonic Wolf seemed to sense this. It accelerated on all fours, closing the distance to ten meters.

"The, the car's about to run out of gas!"

The Energetic Young Woman cried as she drove the Ghost Fire, swearing that if she made it out alive this time, she'd listen to her parents and find a proper job instead of running around with the wrong crowd.

"Hold the handlebars tight!" Xu Fang said.

"What are you planning?" The Energetic Young Woman had a bad feeling.

Xu Fang grinned, a wild look in his eyes: "Going all in!"

"Radiance!"

Golden light enveloped the One-Eyed Demonic Wolf, draining the demonic energy from its body.

But the One-Eyed Demonic Wolf didn't halt like the Giant-Eyed Stinky Rat had. Its single eye gleamed with cruel delight as it charged full speed at Xu Fang.

Once a mage unleashed a skill, there was at least a three-second gap!

Ten meters—three seconds? It wouldn't even take one!

That was the One-Eyed Demonic Wolf's hard-earned lesson. Its intelligence wasn't high, but it had killed enough people to remember.

"Howl!"

The One-Eyed Demonic Wolf sprinted forward like a speeding car. An ordinary person would have frozen in place.

Xu Fang didn't.

His mind locked onto a mark within his Spiritual World, and in an instant, a faint light materialized before him, tracing out a circular shield at a speed too fast for the eye to follow.

"Sand Shield!"

The One-Eyed Demonic Wolf, used to killing broke mages, never expected a Shield Magic Tool to appear. It tried to stop, but its momentum was too fierce—it couldn't brake in time.

Boom!!!

The wolf's head slammed into the shield. The Sand Shield shuddered violently, then shattered into fragments of light that vanished into the air.

The One-Eyed Demonic Wolf was flung backward over ten meters, crashing hard onto the ground.

The Ghost Fire was nearly skimming the ground. The Energetic Young Woman screamed, feeling like her arms weren't even hers anymore.

Xu Fang's chest throbbed with a dull ache. The Sand Shield, worth six hundred thousand, had absorbed most of the impact, but the remaining force was still immense.

If it had been Mu Bai, that Green Tea Man, here instead of Xu Fang, he'd have been knocked out cold.

"Crimson Fire Light Array!"

No holding back now. He poured out the last of his demonic energy, Star Seeds and Star Ring shining in unison.

From the Radiance feint to the Sand Shield's rebound impact that stunned the wolf—it had all been for this moment!

"Die for me!"

Crimson-gold light engulfed the One-Eyed Demonic Wolf. Flames seared its soul, and the wolf let out scream after scream.

The Ghost Fire had long since fallen over. The Energetic Young Woman, tormented both mentally and physically, had passed out. Xu Fang, completely drained of mana, gasped for air, his eyes fixed on the light array.

The light slowly faded.

A broken figure lay there.

Then, it struggled to its feet.

The One-Eyed Demonic Wolf wasn't dead!

The incomplete Crimson Fire Light Array hadn't managed to take the beast's life.

"Howl!!!" Its blood-red eye burned with intense venom and hatred. The One-Eyed Demonic Wolf limped forward step by step.

It would tear this cunning human to shreds and devour him bite by bite!
