Chapter 787: Chapter 395: The Night Without Light, The Battle of the Wolf Ghost_3

Mu You took a quick glance behind him, soon spotting a female werewolf among the pack in the distance, her eyes intently fixed on him.

Mu You immediately understood what was happening.

"Do you have a female skin?" He asked.

"What?" The Lion was taken aback, swinging his sword again, only for Mu You to easily dodge it.

"Change into a female skin." Mu You didn’t have time for a detailed explanation.

The female werewolf who was controlling him from a distance was Angelia, the same beautiful werewolf he had encountered before. Her skin’s special ability is ’Werewolf’s Love’: allowing her to control a male target ranked below her in battle.

The counter to this ability is simple - either outrank her or become a female.

The Lion didn’t have time to think, immediately switching his skin at Mu You’s command. He transformed from a bearded man into a... cat lady.

Besides her different appearance, her attire and figure were quite similar to Virgo’s, who was not far away.

The moment he changed skin, the binding effect on the Lion was indeed lifted instantly.

"Indeed it works!" The Lion was overjoyed, looking back at Virgo, who was fighting in the distance, "See, sister, I told you it doesn’t hurt to get a skin in advance!"

Virgo glanced at him and then silently distanced herself a bit, pretending to not know him.

Though they were both cat ladies, one of them clearly behaved in a way that did not match her form, like a man pretending to be a woman - a stark contrast to the seller’s show.

"Roar!"

A loud roar came from the other side of the battlefield, instantly drawing many gazes.

Mu You turned to look. The roar came from the Tyrant, who was now completely transformed into a Wolf King standing three to four meters tall. He tore off his shattered shirt, revealing his bulging muscles. He was staring at Mu You, his whole body brimming with battle intention!

"Come on, Ghost Captain! Since I can’t hide, let me see for myself the strength of the top... huh?"

The Tyrant’s taunt was cut off halfway when he suddenly realized he couldn’t move.

Looking down, he found a tiny pair of eyes peeping out of the shadow under his feet. They belonged to a black furball, which was staring at him curiously.

"Remember not to hit this one!"

Mu You casually walked past him, reminding the Lion and the others behind him.

The reason why the Tyrant dared to challenge him was not because he was overconfident enough to think he could defeat the top fighter, but because of his Wolf King skin.

The Wolf King skin has two talents, one called ’Wolf Pack Bloodlust’, and the other called ’Wolf King Inspiration’.

’Wolf Pack Bloodlust’ is straightforward, allowing him to increase the combat power of all nearby werewolves by howling.

The key lies in ’Wolf King Inspiration’: When the Wolf King chooses to fight to the death in face of his enemies and eventually dies, all the surrounding werewolves will be inspired, their attributes doubled, which can be stacked up and apply to a single werewolf up to twice.

This kind of collective buff ability is extremely powerful. Especially considering the high amount of buff this ability offers. One inspiration doubles all attributes, two inspires triple them! What’s more, it applies to the whole group! Imagine if the attributes of thousands of werewolves at the scene were doubled, how would they continue this battle?

Luckily, to balance this outrageously powerful ability, the constraints are extremely strict: face to face, fight to the end, these three key phrases can’t be vague in any way or it won’t be triggered.

For instance, if the Wolf King willingly jumped into a black hole like Mu You just summoned, it would result in his death, but the ability would not be triggered. Because it can’t be considered ’fighting with all his might’, and it certainly does not comply with ’fight to the end’.

Simply put, this ability must make the other werewolves truly believe that the Wolf King died fighting against the enemy for the race, exhausting all his efforts. Only then can they feel inspired.

This ability has no room for cunning tricks.

The only way to activate it is like what the Tyrant just did, challenge Mu You to a duel and get killed during the duel.

This is also why the Wolf Kings in history are always brave enough to lead the charge. Only by dying in battle and inspiring the race, can they fulfill their destiny as a Wolf King!

In short, this Wolf King Skin is really problematic. If left alone, it would only allow the enemy to attack recklessly. However, killing it would be even more troublesome. So, Mu You decided to control it and used a Shadow Fur Ball to solve the problem.

Watching as the Ghost Captain walked leisurely by, completely ignoring him, the Tyrant let out a resentful howl, but it was futile.

To break the Shadow Fur Ball was not difficult, multiple sources of light could get rid of the shadow. However, the problem was that it was a lightless night. Any light source would automatically disappear upon appearing, making this an unsolvable problem.

Circling past the Wolf King, Mu You quickly scanned the surroundings and soon found the werewolf boy in the wolf pack. This kid was his prey!

After stealing the shards earlier, these werewolves must have learned their lesson and would not easily take out the shards. No matter who he killed now, he would not be able to get any shards, so he could only skin them.

Mu You kicked down another werewolf that pounced on him, ready to charge at the werewolf boy. Unexpectedly, the boy noticed him and attacked him head on.

Looking at the boy’s furious face, it was clear that his hatred for him was not small. That was just what he needed.

As the werewolf boy ran, he transformed into a giant crimson wolf, his body size larger than the other wolves in the surroundings.

The ’Boiling Blood Wolf’ skin directly linked the combat power to the number of injured people around. Now, both sides were in a melee, and there were plenty of injured people. Coupled with the full moon night’s buff, the boy’s combat power had reached a peak. No wonder he dared to challenge him!

Facing the swiftly charging Blood Wolf, Mu You was not afraid and rushed forward, activating his godspeed.

The Blood Wolf’s buff was high, but because he didn’t dare to hold the map shards, Mu You had a complete Rank Suppression over him. Coupled with the double buff from the vampire skin and the sevenfold damage from the titan killer, no matter how high his buff, he could not avoid being crushed.

Under the effects of godspeed, the werewolf boy didn’t have any defensive power at all. Mu You quickly brought him down, his claws piercing through his chest, his life plummeting drastically.

However, just as Mu You was about to finish him off, a sound of tearing air rang out from behind.

Mu You instinctively dodged to the side, avoiding the attack, but his right shoulder was still slashed.

At the same time, a notification appeared in his mind.

[You’ve been hit by the ’Treasure Thief Wolf’ attack, you’ve had the ’Night King’ ability stolen from you.]

After the notification, Mu You’s double attributes disappeared instantly, returning to single.

"Oh?"

Mu You turned back and glanced, the person who appeared not far behind him was that white youth with sunglasses. However, he too had transformed into a werewolf: a golden wolf holding a flying dagger.

"So, it’s a coordinated attack."

Understood by Mu You, obviously the boy was distracting him at the front, allowing the golden wolf to sneak attack from behind.

As soon as the golden wolf appeared, Mu You’s Omniscient Crystal had already fed back the information of the opponent’s skin.

[Treasure Thief Wolf: A Wolf King Skin advancement. When an attack hits the enemy, it steals a random attribute from the enemy. The stolen attribute will be automatically returned after a day. It can be stolen up to five times a day.]

"Stealing attributes, huh..."

Mu You’s had a strange look on his face. This ability is interesting, but it only mentioned stealing attributes, not that the stolen attribute is certainly a talent...

Thinking about this, Mu You directly pressed the pocket watch.

Do you like stealing treasures? Go ahead and steal, or rather, I can’t wait...

Time switches, behind, the golden-haired wolf hides in the pile of wolves, holding his breath and concentrating. After a few seconds, he once again found the right timing and threw the flying dagger at the Ghost Captain.

The flying dagger drew an arced trajectory, hitting the target precisely!

However, the notification which appeared in his mind next left him stunned.

[You have successfully stolen a skill: Mysterious Failure, there is a 20% chance that your talent or magic will mysteriously fail when you try to actively use it.]
