Don't mind this fluff. It's so that free readers can't read half the chapter.

And the hiatus is now over. The Rise of the Winter Wolf will now be getting 2-3 chapters a week.

Wolf

The battle completely turns around the moment the enormous wasp appears. Which makes perfect sense considering that its level – when I looked at its beta dictionary result – turns out to be an extra fifty levels above the other wasps.

Which is fucking ridiculous.

I don’t let this slow me down though as I continue taking hit after hit after hit while gradually whittling away at the wasps’ numbers. Using the fact that I can still heal myself and use my own regeneration to my advantage to pretty much make myself unkillable.

Until one of the wasps finally manages to sting me after half an hour passes, and I feel my lunar ice elemental energy immediately draining at a rapid pace.

I immediately rush to freeze the venom within my body before quite literally stabbing myself with my claws and ripping a chunk of my own body out along with the frozen venom. Not letting the venom spread far enough to be a problem in the process.

Then the wound quickly begins to heal as I pant in exhaustion.

But this whole thing slowed me down enough that I end up being slammed into a cavern wall on top of numerous sharp crystals. All of which stab into my body while the other wasps rush at me with their stingers raised.

Without hesitation, I send out a powerful explosion of lunar ice element all around me. And even if it doesn’t do a single thing to the wasps, it shatters the crystals impaling me and sends me flying because of the pushback against the wall.

Letting me avoid the wasps entirely in the process as they end up stinging the wall instead of me.

I then continue my little game of stinger tag as I fly around killing off the wasps one by one. All the way until there’s just one wasp left.

Their queen.

I narrow my eyes a little bit before searching for an item that I might use in this situation. Something that’s not my sword, that is. Since that’s got a cooldown period, and I don’t want to waste it on a creature that isn’t even the mini boss.

But I need something to use against it since my claws just won’t pierce its carapace unlike the other wasps.

Besides. I’ve got plenty of items to waste since I barely ever remember that they exist in the first place.

And after flying away from the angry wasp while searching, I eventually find something. Even if it’s not something I particularly like.

So without hesitation, I summon forth the hand cannon before activating it and shooting out a large orb of what looks like molten lava straight at the queen wasp. Then I proceed to fly straight to a crevasse in the cavern while freezing myself into a large ball.

Now to watch the fireworks.

Mere seconds after freezing myself solid, the orb of molten lava hits the queen wasp and explodes. Sending lava and flames all throughout the entire cavern as I hear the wasp screeching in anger and pain.

A faint smirk stretches across my face at the sight of the ice around me not melting.

Good.

This is probably the first time I’ve really tried it, but my lunar ice of eternity really is completely immune to fire now. What with it taking on radiance element aspects as well.

And I couldn’t be happier about it.

The weapon I used is something called a Molten Photon Cannon. It shoots out a mixture of radiation, electromagnetic waves, light, and magma in a single burst that has aspects similar to two different types of things.

One of which is a volcanic eruption.

The other is a laser beam. Except in an orb shape instead of a beam.

And while it is quite a bit weaker than me in general…

A smile stretches across my face when the steam and lava in the air finally clears, letting me see the queen wasp as she angrily screeches at me from her place up in the air. Without a scrap of that annoying carapace left on her body.

…it’s good for getting rid of her armor.

The wasp flies straight down towards me with its stinger surprisingly still in one piece before stabbing said stinger straight into my ice. Clearly overpowering my eternal aspect in the process as I turn into lunar ice element and fly away. Then I reform on the other side of the cavern while popping my neck a little.

Alright. Time to deal with this pest for good.

I coat my gauntlets in ice element before rushing straight at the queen wasp while it’s trying to turn around. And the moment my claws make contact with its head, I finally feel some give as my claws slowly dig in a little.

The queen is fast though and turns around while trying to bite me, making me move backwards again without hesitation. Then it flies forwards in another attempt to sting me.

An attempt of which I dodge by turning into lunar ice element and moving around to its other side. And just like the first time, I claw at the thing without hesitation.

Then the two of us proceed to dance like this for nearly half an entire hour. With me dodging its attacks before counterattacking once and backing away. Over and over again without it getting even a single hit in on me.

Which makes sense. I’ve strengthened my physical body quite a bit thanks to the Ring of Frost Devouring, and it’s just a single enemy that I’m facing. Unlike before with the dozens upon dozens of wasps attacking me.

So the queen slowly grows weaker and weaker as it looses what passes for blood for a wasp at a rather rapid pace thanks to all of my attacks.

The only nuisance is how I still can’t dig too deep with my attacks.

But that doesn’t matter. Because it eventually just keels over and dies from lack of… whatever that blood equivalent was called.

Giving me the surprise of finding a loot box appearing at the bottom center of the cavern.

Nice. Gotta love loot.
