"W-What the hell?!" Rena growled, the huge wolf staring as one of their subordinates turned into a blue glow, "G-Get him!"
I raised my hardened fist, swinging it around as the wolf that had lunged past me tried to jump on my back. I slammed my fist into its face again, sending it skidding away.
It stumbled for a moment, dazed by the blow, and I lunged at him. I landed on his back, pulling to wolf into a bear hug as my teeth tore into it.

I shot up onto my feet again as the first level four wolf came running at me. I swung my leg outward, slamming a hardened foot into his face and sending him stumbling away.
A second later, my feet were thrown out from under me as a level two barreled into my legs.
-3 HP! (177/180)
I barely even felt the impact, putting my hands on the ground under me to break my fall. I pushed myself up again, spinning around and lunging at the second level four wolf as it charged me.
We met in the middle, it's body slamming into mine as I grappled it. It's teeth bit down into my shoulder, causing me to grunt in pain.
-10 HP! (167/180)
Blood flowed down my side, but I ignored it as I leaned forward, my own teeth tearing through its fur and flesh. It didn't go down instantly like the level one, and that gave opportunity for one of the other wolves to help.
-5 HP! (162/180)
I grimaced as a claw cut into my back, the first level four barreling at me to try and help his comrade. I ignored it, intent on finishing the one trapped in my arms.

This was why the [Devour] skill wasn't just overpowered, but a complete cheat-skill. In a situation like this, where multiple enemies were trying to take me down, I could heal off of each one I defeated.
The skin around my shoulder glowed, repairing itself as I spun around at the other level four. The wolf lunged forward, it's teeth bared, and my hand shot up.
I shot my hand at his mouth, wrapped my large palm around both sides, and forced his mouth shut. It struggled as I forcefully held his mouth shut, my other arm punching into its chest.
The wolf stumbled, and I shot forward. My teeth tore into his fur, ripping through the metallic-like layer and into his flesh.
The already-injured wolf didn't last long.

"Y-You useless mutts!" Rena growled out, her voice echoing in the small open area, "I can't believe I, Pack Leader Rena, chosen by the Great Wolf King himself, need to get involved for a mere human!"
Arrogant much?
Rena lunged forward, and my eyes widened in surprise. I threw myself to the side, barely dodging the wolf.
She was fast. Way faster than the other wolves, and I hadn't gained any AGI so far.
Dire Wolf's only gave STR and END.
Rena lunged at me again, and I hastily threw my hardened fist at her. Her claw ripped past my side as my fist grazed her face.
-20 HP! (168/188)
Damn, that actually hurt!
I shook off the pain, seeing that my punch had barely fazed Rena. She ran at me again, lashing out with another claw.
I tried to lean out of the way, but it still grazed me.
-10 HP! (158/188)
I grunted as a cut appeared on my arm. I couldn't keep going like this - she was too fast.
I glanced around, looking for something to help me.
Luckily, I found it instantly.
I sprinted forward, running not at Rena but at the level one Dire Wolf, who had been watching as he let his pack leader fight.
The wolf was taken by surprise, not being able to dodge as I grappled it and my teeth tore through its fur and flesh.

"You cowardly human!" Rena roared behind me, and I silently grinned.
The Pack Leader lunged directly at me, intent on trying to save her subordinate. I spun around, knowing that Rena wouldn't be able to avoid me as she barreled directly at me.
I lunged forward, wrapping the wolf in a grapple as she slammed her teeth into my arm.
-15 HP! (148/188)
Even with [Harden], Rena's teeth still tore through my flesh. As her back slammed into the floor and I was pinning her down, my mouth shot forward and started tearing into her flesh.
She didn't just let me eat, as her claws tore into my chest and her huge fangs cut across my arm.
-15 HP! (133/188)
-25 HP! (108/188)
Fuck, that hurts. Hurry up and die, damn wolf!
I continued tearing my teeth into her flesh, but she finally slammed both paws into my chest and flung me off. I grunted, blood dripping down from my mouth as Rena shot backward, creating space between us.
"You… You annoying human!" Rena growled. She wasn't unscathed from the exchange, as red blood coated her fur and her legs shook slightly.
I jumped to my feet, ignoring the pain from all my cuts, and started sprinting forward. However, instead of at Rena, I went towards the final Dire Wolf.
