Job Change For Everyone: My Job Can Infinitely Evolve

Chapter 42: Intense Battle 

Moss realized that the effects of Sharp Fangs and Claws would reduce his Guardian’s Shield lifespan. Now his shield wouldn’t suffice against the pack of Explosive Wolves. 1

Moss quickly checked his surroundings and saw a tall tree beside him. His eyes flashed, and an idea appeared in his mind. He swung his sword and leaped into the air. Both his hands grabbed onto the tree branch, and with a flip, he landed steadily on the four-meter-tall tree. 

Moss looked at the Explosive Wolf pack beneath with confidence and determination. He knew that he could weaken the wolves’ group advantage even though there wasn’t much space on the tree. 

Moss also had the option of building a fortress conducive to his defense and attack. He knew that he couldn’t face several wolves at once. 

With this, Moss could deal with the higher-leveled Magical Beast that could climb trees. Then he would come down and deal with the lower-leveled Explosive Wolves. 

Since Moss was now a level seven Guardian Knight, he wouldn’t lose against the lower-leveled wolves beneath him. With the blessing of the Guardian’s Will, Moss wasn’t afraid of even the level seven Explosive Wolf. 

The level seven wolf was furious when it saw Moss standing atop the tree. Its eyes were bloodshot as it stared at the teenager. Then it growled as if it was giving a signal to the other wolves. 

Soon after, the Explosive Wolves mobilized. The lower-leveled wolves that couldn’t climb surrounded the tree and tore at the tree bark with their Sharp Fangs and Claws skill. 

The level seven wolf growled as it stared at Moss. It tried climbing up the tree by stepping on the other wolves. 

The higher-leveled wolf climbed the three and lowered its body, ready to fight at a moment’s notice. Moss looked at the Magical Beasts moving around the tree, but he wasn’t afraid since he had already thought of countermeasures. 

The branch that Moss stood on was too high, and the level four Explosive Wolf tried jumping. But in the end, it failed to reach Moss. It could only vent its frustrations by growling continuously. 

Moss stood still when he noticed that the wolves beneath could do nothing. Soon after, the level seven wolf raised its head and let out a long roar, enraging the surrounding wolves. Their silver fur frilled and stood on end. 

Then the level seven wolf growled at the higher-leveled Explosive Wolves. They formed a circle around the tree with Moss at its center. This time, the level seven wolf participated in this formation and stood before Moss. 

“Guardian’s Shield!” Moss shouted. A tall transparent shield appeared and surrounded Moss. He stood on the branch against the tree bark, holding his sword, but the shield protected him. The tree was at his back as natural defense while there was space before him to confront the Explosive Wolf. 

However, the Explosive Wolves knew that Moss would set up his defenses. Other than attacking head-on, the wolves also activated their Wolf Spike and opened their mouths to bite at Moss. 

Bang! Bang! Bang! 

Some level five Explosive Wolves crashed into the Guardian’s Shield, making a violent sound. The wolves then let out a mournful cry as they slid from the Guardian’s Shield and fell. 

Some of the wolves bounced and shook their heads as they landed. Then they continue to jump up the tree. The fall damage wasn’t enough to kill the Explosive Wolves. 

The level six Explosive Wolves were buffed by their Sharp Fangs and Claws. Although they didn’t suffer from the fall as much as the level five wolves, they still felt numb all over their bodies. 

Even though the level six wolves received some damage, their attacks were still effective. The wolves managed to form cracks on the Guardian’s Shield with the help of Sharp Fangs and Claws. 

Seeing this, the level seven wolf became excited. It roared before approaching Moss to order the others to continue their assault. The level seven wolf noticed that its companions had damaged the shield, so it used its Sharp Fangs and Claws to its maximum potential. It wanted to smash Moss’s shield and rip him to shreds. 

The level seven wolf’s claws appeared like knives. Just as it pounced at its opponent’s protective shield, it realized that it had made an enormous mistake. 

The Guardian’s Shield was no longer there. Instead, a sword appeared and flashed with a cold light. When Moss saw the level seven wolf’s attack, he quickly crouched and raised his sword high. 

“Explosive Strike!” Moss’s sword carried a powerful force as it stabbed toward the Explosive Wolf’s abdomen. 

The level seven wolf saw through the attack and wanted to escape, but it was airborne and had no point of force beneath its feet. In addition, the level seven wolf had already used its full strength. Its Wolf’s Spike and Sharp Fangs and Claws were on cooldown. 

Moss’s sword pierced through the level seven wolf’s abdomen with great force. The level seven wolf’s momentum was enormous, causing a colossal wound to appear on its abdomen. Blood and organs gushed as the smell assaulted Moss’s nostrils. 

The level seven wolf tried to escape when it crashed into the tree, but it realized that the human had trapped it in a sealed space. 

Moss knew that she shouldn’t waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He swung his sword and attacked the level seven wolf. 1

The level seven wolf knew there was no way out and could only use its last bit of strength. The wolf used its claws to block Moss’s second strike but couldn’t bear the force of Moss’s earth-shattering swing. 

Sparks flew as the sword and claws clashed. The sword slashed through the level seven wolf’s head as it let out a desperate cry. It twitched twice and stopped moving. 

The level four wolf was shocked by the sudden turn of events. Meanwhile, the level five and six wolves heard the level seven wolf’s cries and became enraged. Their eyes were bloodshot as they desperately attacked Moss. 

Moss didn’t panic when the level five and six wolves surrounded him. He glared coldly at the nine Magical Beasts before him as if he was invincible. 

The wolves let out a flurry of attacks toward Moss, but he had no intentions of being polite. He faced the wolves head-on. In just a short while, Moss had cut down two level six and five wolves. 

Moss saw that the remaining wolves were injured and decided to remove his almost-broken Guardian’s shield. The remaining high-leveled Explosive Wolves lost their fighting spirit and wanted to escape. 

Moss didn’t intend to let them escape and took the initiative to attack. He jumped to the nearest level five wolf and killed it with a single slash. 

The other level five and six wolves witnessed their companions die tragically and fled in a hurry. But they bumped into each other as they turned. Moss didn’t hesitate and jumped toward the wolves, killing them instantly. 

The level four wolf saw that Moss had come down from the tree, so it got up and ran as fast as possible. 

Moss killed the Magical Beasts closest to him and let the others escape. Moss could have chased after them, but it would be a waste of time since he would no longer gain much from killing lower-leveled Magical Beasts. 

A notification appeared on Moss’s interface after killing six level four Explosive Wolves. He quickly opened the notification and was pleasantly surprised to see that he had reached level eight. 

Moss raised his fist in excitement and shouted, “All right!” 

… 

Meanwhile, Alan and Ell continued running toward the valley’s entrance. Alan was filled with anxiety even though he was almost there. When Ell saw this, she asked, “What’s wrong, Alan?” 

“W-Will Moss be okay?” Alan’s faith in Moss wavered.
