Chapter 9: Feral Alpha Wolf

Adrian with Sirius in tow are now inside the instance dungeon. The dungeon has 3 levels, each with rising difficulty. The first level consists of 5 enemies of Level 1 wolves.

Name: Feral Wolf

LVL: 1

HP: 20/20

Description: Wolves commonly seen on the outskirts of the plains. Due to not being touched by hunters, they have grown more ferocious and cunning than normal wolves.

Before the wolves could surround Adrian, Sirius already propelled himself against the wolves. Sirius easily tore through the weak wolves due to the level difference. The experience points gathered in this dungeon will only be accumulated after completion. Sirius looked at Adrian with a proud face as if saying "Look how strong I have become". Amused at the dog's banter, Adrian patted its head while praising it.

Name: Sirius

Species: Dog(Demon Lupus Strain)(Male)

LVL: 5

HP: 95/100

Skills: Bite, Howl, Shadow Sneak, Sharp Fang(Passive)

When Sirius hit level 5, he got a new skill.

Name: Sharp Fang(Passive)

Effect: Attacks made using biting motions are increased in damage by 15% and have a chance to induce the bleeding status by 5%.

The duo headed deeper into the den and arrived at the second level of the instance dungeon. As soon as they are getting closer, their presence alerted the two wolves guarding this level. The two wolves did not immediately attack but sent growl and snarls as if warning the duo not to go any deeper. Adrian used Inspect on the two enemies.

Name: Feral Beta Wolf

LvL: 3

HP: 60

Description: A type of wolf stronger than the typical wolf due to being higher in the hierarchy. These types of wolves only follow instructions from the leader of the pack or the Alpha.

Although higher level, Adrian was still worried because 2 level 3 wolves with coordination was still quite tricky to deal with.

"No choice then we have to buff ourselves. Sirius use Howl" Adrian commanded.

Sirius suddenly let loose a howl that made the two beta wolves charge forward.

Name: Howl

Effect: Boosts all allies damage by 10% for 30 minutes.

Cooldown: 1 hour

"Sirius be careful not to get double teamed. Focus on dealing with one first before attacking the remaining wolf" Adrian commanded.

Sirius lunged at the beta wolf located to his right. He reached the beta wolf and used his skill Bite.

-45hp

Adrian was amazed by the damage done by Sirius because it almost one-shot a LVL 3 Beta wolf. After Sirius executed the skill, he was tackled by the other beta wolf which resulted in him being knocked back by a meter from his position.

-10hp

Fortunately, The beta wolf did not execute a skill and just knocked Sirius back. Sirius then counterattacked which resulted in immediately disintegrating the health of the beta wolf he attacked first.

"Great job Sirius! There is only one left" praised Adrian.

The remaining beta wolf turned insane due to the loss of its comrade. The beta wolf just lashed out and targeted Adrian even though he did not accumulate aggro. Sirius then saw the beta wolf charging towards his master so he utilized his skill Shadow Sneak.

Name:Shadow Sneak

Effect: The user dives into its shadow and emerges from the shadow of the target. The next attack made after the jump deals twice the damage. When no target is chosen the user emerges after 2 seconds.

Cooldown: 30 seconds

Sirius then vanished and reappeared behind the beta wolf and bit its neck. Due to the empowered attack, the beta wolf immediately disintegrated into particles.

"I thought I was done for. Thanks buddy" Adrian said while petting Sirius. "Too bad I can't assist you buddy, I can only learn my auxiliary magic at LvL 10. Fight for me until then. Ok?" he continued.

"Woorf" Sirius replied. Probably telling Adrian that he can count on it.

"Well, let us continue you only have 20 minutes left on you buff" Adrian said motioning to Sirius to follow him.

They reached the last level in just under a minute since it was not far from where they were. Sitting on a elevated boulder was the Alpha Wolf that will be their last obstacle.

Name: Feral Alpha Wolf

Lvl: 5

HP: 150/150

Description: Only the strongest wolf can be called the alpha. Known for its speed and strength, this creature can be called the peak predator.
