Di Lan ran to the source of light with all his might. Reaching the light, the red-eyed wolf caught up as well. The wolf was about to pounce on Di Lan when an arrow flew right between the two, halting the wolf midway.
"Grrr..!" The wolf growled angry as its eyes glowed red at the source of the arrow. As it stepped nearer to the light surrounding, the wolf was a seven foot tall with an overgrown upper skull that have 2 pointy horns while shade of its glistening dark gray fur become lighter as it turned into pure white on its belly.

"Well, well, well.." A foreign brutish voice sounded. "It's the king of the forest himself. What brings you here to my humble lair?"
Di Lan assumed that help was here already however, the players that he thought were in the light's surrounding was actually were a band of goblins. There were 32 goblins in total. 10 archer goblins, 20 warrior goblins and 2 boss type goblins.

"Awoo!!" The huge wolf howled with full of ferociousness and authority. After howling, the rest of the wolves entered the fray, surround the goblins as their backs were against a cliff wall. There were 69 wolves in total together with the Stone wolf.
The demonic wolf snarled at the Orc Chief as if it was saying in a foreign language, "What humble lair? What are you trying to do here?!"
As if the Orc Chief understood what the demonic wolf just said, he looked at it in a mocking manner and replied in a foreign language, "If I say it as my territory, then it is my territory. What are you going to do about it?"
Di Lan was in between the two sides. The two bosses were having a conversation while the Orc Shaman was chanting in front of a stone door.
The Orc Chief wants to open the stone door to make it as its base however, the wolf got angry at this action because of the story that was inheritently being passed down to the Stone Wolf Clan. Hence, with no further ado, the demonic wolf howled in rage as it ordered its pack to attack the goblins.
As the wolves started running to attack, the goblins readied themselves as well.
After the Goblin archers fired a round of arrows which easily dodged by the wolves, the Goblin Warriors ran towards the incoming wolves to try and assault them.
The confrontation between the wolves and goblins became chaotic. Some necks of the goblin gets bitten while some wolves' guts were ruptured. It was chaos
Di Lan was trying to silently slip right under the noses of the battling monsters however as soon as he moved, the eyes of the two leaders of opposing side would look at him making him feel awkward and dejected.
The Orc Chief knew that a blood from a being which was known by the monsters as Player needed which was actually a delight as Di Lan was like a pie fell from the sky.
The Stone Wolf on the other hand only mocked the Orc Chief in contempt. "You'll never unlock the stone door."
After mocking the Orc Chief, the gaze of the demonic Stone Wolf which was landed back to Di Lan, and growled to him.
"Story Mode Quest Notification!"
A message screen popped on Di Lan's vision.
Help the Stone Wolf fight against the Orc Chief
Difficulty: Epic
Uncertain if Di Lan was really an idiot or what, after reading the details on the message screen, without any hesitation, he accepted the quest right away. He looked at the Stone Wolf and nodded with determination to the huge monster as he unsheathed Sword and dashed to the ongoing battle.
Di Lan's impression to the Stone Wolf was smart and cunning. It knew that despite its advantage in numbers, its pack still lacks in fire power hence it requested any assistance that it can get. Looking at the demonic wolf's attempt though, the Orc Chief only smirked and shouted as if it was providing an order as it kept eyeing the wolf in check.
Di Lan's plan as he dashed through the battle in order to maximize his profit was to kill steal. First, he checked for goblins that were about to die to land the final blow. This is so that the EXP that the monsters provide will be his.
Hearing the cries and wails of the dying goblins, the Orc Chief can't help but to enter the fray now as the numbers of his warriors were starting to dwindle fast. Of course, the Stone Wolf did not let the Orc Chief have its way. The Stone Wolf pounced, blocking the Orc Chief's way.
As soon as the battle between the Orc Chief and the Stone Wolf commenced, Di Lan started to slowly kill the wolves as well.
After killing ten goblins twenty wolves, Di Lan leveled up. In total of 18 Goblins and 48 Wolves stolen kills, Di Lan was now about to become Level 6.
During the kill steal moments, the fight between the Orc Chief and the Stone Wolf was just like the difficulty of the quest -- epic. The battle was brutal.
The Orc Chief was having a hard time hitting the Stone Wolf however, as the Stone Wolf was able to bite the Orc Chief's left arm and rupture it out of its socket, howling in agony, the Orc Chief was able to smash its stone club, breaking the bone of the Stone Wolf's right front leg.
With this exchange, the Stone wolf was now slightly limping while the Orc Chief's left arm was now totally unusable as it was ruptured hanging on its left shoulder.
The wolf's speed slowed down. Though this was advantage to the Orc Chief, its strength was slowly sapping down due to the blood loss that it's experiencing with its left shoulder. The wolf was really cunning as it would just distance itself from the Orc Chief waiting for it to die from blood loss.
Realizing the tactic of the Stone Wolf, the Orc Chief shouted in a foreign language, "You coward piece of shit!"
The Orc Chief's muscles suddenly bulked in red as if it just breathed. After bulking in red, the green body frame of the Orc Chief which was wide has not turned into red and lean. After the transformation, the Orc Chief completely removed the left arm that was hanging on its shoulder. Seeing this transformation, the Stone Wolf got more alarmed as this was a higher form of the Berserk skill called Blood Berserk.
Blood Berserk Skill is the more HP that you sacrifice, the more stats you will gain for a certain period of time. 100 HP is to 1 Stats to all Attributes except for Vitality.
The Orc Chief sacrificed 600 HP leaving it with around 400 HP, gaining it additional 6 Stats to Strength, Intelligence and Dexterity. Its redenned eyes lock towards the Stone Wolf which was standing its guard warily.
The Orc Chief dashed and pounced towards the Stone Wolf. The speed of the Orc Chief caught the Stone Wolf off as it tried to leap back however, it was a second slower as the stone club of the Orc Chief was about to reach already. With that, it faced the incoming stone club with its thick overgrown skull.
A dog's whine can be heard in the battlefield. This was the time when the goblin and wolf minions were already wiped out which was mostly done by Di Lan.
The stone club shattered as it directly hit the Stone Wolf's thick overgrown skull which has now a crack that ran across its right eye socket making it very dizzy.
Though the Orc Chief's weapon shattered, this did not stop it from attacking the demonic wolf once more. Its fist punch straight to the broken front leg of the wolf, shattering the broken bone.
This made the wolf whined once more and tried to bite the Orc Chief's left shoulder. The punching and biting between the Orc Chief and the Stone Wolf lasted for almost two minutes. Di Lan who was in the sidelines was very alert, checking the Orc Chief's HP dwindled down.
As the Orc Chief's HP dwindled down to around 100 HP, Di Lan dashed as he held Sword with this two and swung it like a golf club to hit the golf ball which in this case the Orc Chief's head. The timing was perfect as right after the Stone Wolf bit the Orc Chief's shoulder once more, Di Lan's sword swing came right away.
