Potion Maker Chapter 22: Muscle power

In the morning when Will woke up he decided to train his ability to build up muscle power that he gained from the strength enhancement potion that he made.

Training the ability to build up muscle power, he gave three trees a good thrashing until he stopped before he seriously injured his fists.

The booming sounds of his fists echoed through the woods as he rubbed his fists.

On the three trees there were several fist indents at about five inches deep with small amounts of wood chips surrounding the tree trunks.

Unfortunately even though he is a level two melee fighter he is considerably weak, because the people from this world use mana to strengthen their bodies and cause their strength to rise explosively, which Will is unable to do.

Fortunately, although Will cannot use mana, he still gained an ability to build up his muscle power to release it in explosive bursts from the potion he made, allowing his strength to rise explosively through brute force, allowing him to wield strength enough to defeat a level three melee fighter.

Done with training Will continued to explore the forest, while exploring he couldn't help but think of how easily he is defeated by children.

Feeling the strength flowing through his body when he builds up his muscle power, he couldn't help but feel excited at the though of beating some children.

Will stopped walking as his expression went to one of shock.

He would have never had those thoughts in his original world!

He quickly realized that his thoughts were starting to get increasingly cruel the more he encounters defeat, shaking his head Will continued to explore the forest as he kept thinking of the day that he wouldn't get defeated by things smaller than him anymore.

His ability to build up his muscle power was taken from the snake's bloodline as a side affect of using the snake as an ingredient.

He is able to use his muscles like a snake does when it prepares to strike, except he can use that ability with his legs, increasing jumping and short range movement speed, as well as his arm strength in short bursts.

This lets him put out a greater power than he can normally, although, the way he builds up muscle power is different than a snake in more than one way.

Walking through the forest, Will noticed that the sun was already close to setting.

Noticing this, he decided to look for a nice place to rest for the night as he stepping into a clearing.

Will looked at the sky as the sun started to set, and he counted the first stars that started to come out.

Looking at the sky, Will heard a rustling sound come from the outskirts of the clearing, being startled, Will couldn't help but stumble backwards putting up his guard.

In the surroundings Will could see glowing eyes pierce through the increasingly dark shadows.

Outlines could be seen in the shadows of a group of canine like animals.

Standing up straight, he already made a guess of what could be surrounding him.

Looking at the outskirts of the clearing, Will froze as a giant wolf that reached three meters in height stepped into the clearing followed by nine more surrounding him.

Looking at the wolves surrounding him, Will shivered as a bone chilling aura pressed down on him, the eyes of the wolves glowed brighter as low growls could be heard.

A louder growl could be heard in the outskirts, hearing the growl the wolves started to advance, blocking off all paths of escape.

"I f*cking knew it!"

Shaking, Will clenched his fists as he looked into the shadows, he could see a pair of brightly glowing eyes about five meters off of the ground.

'That must be the alpha!'

As the sun set in the background, in a vast and ancient forest, a young man was surrounded by a pack of wolves, the setting sun in the background, and the ever increasing shadows, created a blood boiling image.

Watching the wolves approach him, Will clenched his fists as the muscles on his legs started to ripple.

He was building up muscle power!

He watched the wolves get closer to him as he listened to the changing growls coming from the alpha.

Feeling as if his skin on his legs was about to burst, his arms had a spasm as they appeared to get slightly thicker.

The circle of wolves opened up slightly as one of the wolves stepped out of the circle and stood in front of him with the circle closing again.

Feeling as if his limbs were about to burst, Will decided to take out the wolf in front of him first!

As if having the same thought, as Will burst forward with unimaginable speed, the wolf lunged forward as well.

As if in slow motion, Will could see the wolf's body lift off of the ground, and the saliva spraying out of it's wide open mouth.

Not only can he "Charge" his muscles when standing still, he can use the impacts against his body to build up muscle power.

So when his feet hit the ground, he can increase his muscle strength at that moment!

If he were to trade blows with an enemy, his fist would hit harder as time passed!

Although his body wont feel so well from all of that stress..

Exhausting the power built up in one leg, he pressed the other on on the ground as he crouched, and aimed one of his fists at the belly of the wolf.

As his foot pressed into the ground, the ground he stepped on cracked slightly as he blurred forward, sending his fist out with all the muscle power he built up moving toward the wolf.

This took long to describe, but it all happened in an instant!

The wolf tried to turn it's body to escape Will's fist, but unfortunately for the wolf, it forgot that it was in midair.

The difficulty in moving could be imagined!

Will's fist collided with the belly of the wolf as all his muscle power built up in that arm was released into the body of the wolf after being concentrated on the fist.

With a yelp, and a spray of blood, a sound similar to a large rock falling in muck could be heard as Will's fist pierced the wolf's belly.

Watching the wolf slide off of his fist as it tried to lunge at him weakly, Will suppressed his urge to vomit, the wolf's insides were clinging to his fist.

A crisp and cold wind blew through the forest blowing the scent of blood through the clearing, causing the eyes on the remaining wolves to glow red.

With a deep growl, the alpha stepped into the clearing as the circle of wolves closed in even faster with their eyes glowing an even deeper red as time passed.

"Sh*t!"

Yelling at the wolves, Will stomped his foot onto the ground as the force caused power to build up in his muscles.

Faced with a life or death situation, Will charged into the oncoming wolves, not even considering the wolves behind him.

"Come!"

He is trapped anyway, right?
