Chapter 2315 - The Graceful Wolf
Translated by XephiZ

Zonah was at a slight disadvantage compared to the Flying Creek Snow Wolf in terms of speed.
His arm was completely exposed in front of the Flying Creek Snow Wolf. The Flying Creek Snow Wolf was not greedy, but he would not miss out on the opportunity to tear off his enemy's arm.
"Rock Flesh!"
Zonah's arm shuddered. Black mud suddenly surfaced on his tanned skin and quickly solidified, forming a layer of ceramic around his arm.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf failed to bite through the protective cast, as he did not want to break his teeth. He instead flung Zonah into the air with a casual toss of his neck.
Zonah was a little dizzy from the spin. He heard the wolf howling as he was falling to the ground.
An icy stalagmite suddenly emerged from the ground. Its sharp point was stabbing right at Zonah as he was falling from the sky.
Zonah was given a fright. He did not expect the Commander-level Wolf to be good at both close combat and magic. His magic was even stronger than most of the Advanced Ice Mages!
Zonah desperately Summoned his Wind Wings.
His Wind Wings were different from normal Wind Mages'. Most Wind Mages would have wind in the shape of wings attached to their backs, which would beat like a bird's wings.
Zonah's Wind Wings instead were made up of a few dozen feathers stacked on top of one another, which turned into Wind Discs under his feet.
He stepped on the Wind Discs like he was hopping between the clouds.
The Wind Discs spun rapidly and delivered fierce gusts toward the ground while sending Zonah higher into the sky, preventing the icicles below from impaling him.
Zonah was well-coordinated once the Wind Discs were under his feet. He could change direction or turn in the air freely.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf was unable to fly. He could only Summon ice stalagmites and jump between them like bridges to fight the flying Zonah.
Zonah had a great advantage while in the air. He tried his best to avoid the icicles that were rising from the ground while attacking the Flying Creek Snow Wolf with his Wind Magic and Earth Magic from a safe distance.
"Awooo!"
It had been a while since the Flying Creek Snow Wolf had been Summoned by Mo Fan to fight on his behalf. He finally had a worthy opponent, and was ready to prove to Mo Fan that he had not been slacking. He kept attacking aggressively.
An icicle suddenly collapsed in the direction of Zonah and knocked him off-balance. It almost drove him to the ground.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf immediately jumped with all his strength, leaving five afterimages along his path.
Zonah was temporarily knocked off his Wind Discs, but they returned quickly to his feet, just like boomerangs.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf knew he would lose the perfect opportunity to get close enough to Zonah once the Wind Discs returned to his feet, and continued to pick up his pace.
The five afterimages behind him clearly indicated he had already reached his limit. The ice spear he was running on was almost perpendicular to the ground. Running vertically up the ice was obviously going to slow him down a little.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf howled a few times. The muscles on his limbs started to crack as he overstrained them.
His skin was cracking like his muscles. His limbs started to bleed. The blood formed a red string behind him from his remarkable speed.
The ice under his feet shattered completely when the sixth afterimage appeared behind the Flying Creek Snow Wolf. The Flying Creek Snow Wolf reached the top of the ice stalagmite instantly as the afterimages merged into one!
"Did he just have a breakthrough in speed?" Mo Fan exclaimed in surprise, as the wolf launched itself from the icy spear like a missile covered in ice.
The huge force from the sudden boost to the Flying Creek Snow Wolf's speed knocked Zonah off-balance again.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf swung his paws. His power had increased significantly with his overwhelming speed. The swipe unleashed a cross slash across the dim sky, landing right on Zonah!
Zonah stiffened as he was trying to gain more altitude.
Fresh blood poured out from his abdomen as his body slowly split in half.
The Wind Discs kept rising higher, but they were only carrying Zonah's lower body. His upper body fell heavily onto the field of ice below.
The Wind Discs eventually disappeared into the distance, randomly carrying Zonah's lower body away.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf landed between the ice spears. He looked at the pile of blood and howled in triumph.
It was the Flying Creek Snow Wolf's habit whenever he won a fight, declaring his victory!
"Well done!" Mo Fan raised his thumb at the Flying Creek Snow Wolf.
Mo Fan had treated the Flying Creek Snow Wolf like his pet dog for quite a long time. He was seriously considering whether or not he should help the Flying Creek Snow Wolf evolve after seeing this impressive performance.
Mo Fan did not ignore the Flying Creek Snow Wolf on purpose. It was simply too difficult for a Commander-level creature to evolve into a Ruler-level creature.
He would need the soul, the bloodline, and the bones of another Ruler-level creature!
Even if he collected all three of them, the chance of the Flying Creek Snow Wolf evolving successfully was still less than twenty percent!
Mo Fan did not have any resources at the moment, let alone something that suited the wolf species.
"Maybe I should check out the Summoned Beast Plane to see if there's any suitable Ruler-level creature for you, knowing how eager you are to grow stronger," Mo Fan murmured.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf was an Advancing Commander-level creature. It was difficult for him to grow any stronger at his current stage. It was very surprising that he was able to surpass his limit on speed!
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf nodded and returned to the Summoned Beast Plane.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf had done Mo Fan a huge favor by taking out Zonah. It was very likely Mo Fan would have to fight the upcoming enemies by himself…

Lt. Colonel Mason came over with a wide smile. "Why did that wolf go back to you? Didn't I Summon it by praying to Forneus?"
"Maybe it's because he's my Summoned Beast?" Mo Fan hinted strongly.
Lt. Colonel Mason immediately fell into deep thought. "Are you saying that it had nothing to do with Forneus?" he asked carefully.
"It never had anything to do with Forneus from the very beginning!" Mo Fan stated firmly.
"I should have known…" Lt. Colonel Mason was enlightened all of a sudden. He blurted out, "I have been worshiping Cernunnos, the God of Beasts, secretly since I was sixteen!"
"Can you piss off?!"
