With my new unofficial quest, I have to get some prizes from a rare level two elite werewolf, I did some research after I got back to the institute.
It seems that this werewolf is more dangerous than I believed before, he not only has the advantages that werewolves usually have like speed, an above average vitality, sharp claws and fangs and last and most important they are great hunters.
They have a combination of four-legged predator's abilities combined with the characteristics of a humanoid hunter, but this black fanged werewolf variation has a difference in their body structure, they have the shadow element built into them and that makes them have new advantages but not a disadvantage, as they are in a dungeon at night.
The shadow element strengthens their bodies when they are in a dark environment, they have a dark layer of shadow when they are hunting in the forest, and their claws and fangs have the corrosive capacity of the shadow element. In particular their fangs that Lofar is interested in, they have a very aggressive corrosive element if someone is bitten by them not only will the wound necrose but the shadow element will poison the victim's body, even warriors or mages with the shadow element of their own are not able to resist this poison.
The only way to purify the poison is with the light element, and that makes these werewolves classified as dangerous monsters in floors number thirty and below. On the upper floors there are more troublesome monsters, but they are present until floor forty, but on these floors only the elite level three werewolves appear.
For most adventurers it's hard to find werewolves with black fangs, they rarely show up in the dungeon, so most adventurers think it's pure bad luck to find these werewolves, but now that's a problem since I want to find them.
I can't do anything to increase my chances of finding my target so I can only depend on my luck, I'm not too worried about hunting them because they only come in the normal or elite rank not the black fanged werewolves of the boss category.
But my current problem is getting a party to go into the moonlight forest, I think my current best option is the party Raziel is trying to get into, so I'll accompany him tomorrow to find the party of night owl adventurers.
I spent the rest of my day with Wulfgar and Hilda, poor Wulfgar is still used as a stuffed toy by Hilda, even though he has grown quite a bit. According to Hilda she simply has a bigger stuffed animal to hug now.
Wulfgar is tall enough to be parallel to my knee, he's not a cub anymore and I've decided that over the weekend I'm going to take him to the woods near town so he can fight the level one wolf, I want to see if he is able to fight.
I don't worry too much about the possibility of Wulfgar, he is not only very intelligent, as his body is much tougher than I expected, he has not yet formed his core even more the strength and endurance of his body already is equivalent to a Level one magical animal, I believe the cause of this is the life element energy it absorbed when hibernating.
Now he just lacks combat experience, to awaken his natural instincts, as he was protected within the institute, he does not have a survival instinct, only putting him to fight with other magical animals or magical beasts will he be able to learn to fight and explore your natural instincts.
I wonder what other qualities he will have, in addition to the superior intelligence he already displays.
As the sun rises, I meet Raziel in front of the institute and we both start towards an inn where the members of the night owls stay. It didn't take us long to get there, the inn is almost halfway between the moonlight forest and the dark lair, a simple but clean inn they really know how to pick a place to meet.
We sat at the table where there was already a woman and a man, both were shadow element warriors and their cores were advanced stage green.
"Hi Vera and Martin this and Ulric my friend and he was the leader of the group I was a part of at the institute, he's interested in exploring the dark lair and moonlight forest just like me. I brought him today so you can meet him and ask him to fill the last spot on the team."
I see surprise on both their faces, but on the face of the woman who must be Vera I also see irritation and hostility.
"Why should we accept another newbie? He doesn't even have the shadow element, we're a group that doesn't use flashlights to explore the night dungeons, he's useless."
Well, I can understand why she's pissed off he must feel I don't have the shadow element, and she'd be right to speculate that I need a flashlight to see something inside the dungeon, but unfortunately, she's wrong today.
"I understand your reaction, but you're wrong about my capabilities. I don't have a problem fighting in the dark, even if I don't have the shadow element."
I got a skeptical look from the two shadow element users in front of me.
"Young brat you have a lot of courage to lie in front of me, I'll give you a chance to be apologetic now, but if you insist on your lie, I'll spank you."
"I'm not lying, if I couldn't fight in the dark why would I want to enter the night dungeons."
"I can attest to Ulric's abilities; he has a very keen sense for mana and can fight with the same skill as a shadow element user like us. I've seen him struggling in the dark with my own eyes more than once."
"Vera, you must calm down, young Raziel is an honest young man if he says his friend is capable of fighting in the dark, I believe, but I still believe that his friend should take a test to prove his skills and combat ability. In what position do you fight, Ulric?"
"I'm an agile archer and warrior, I even participated in the Menfis family expedition earlier this week to the bloody arena dungeon, despite the offensive power of my arrows can only hurt up to a level three elite monster. Of course, if we find a monster resistant to piercing attacks, I won't be very useful."
"Memphis family? Why did you leave or were expelled from the Menfis family?"
I think he misunderstood my situation.
"I was never part of the Menfis family, I was the one who got involved in my expedition, but the two archers of the Menfis family, Mia and Irina can attest to my abilities I may not have made a big difference in the expedition's power, but I I had a good and solid performance."
"If you're not part of the Menfis family, why were you on their expedition, annoying brat?"
"It's complicated, but the reason I don't participate in the expedition again and why the expedition leader didn't like me is not because I'm weak or undisciplined."
"This brat could be lying Martin, I think we should deny his test and send him away already, he's clearly undisciplined that's why bitch Katarina sent him away."
"He is Hilda Menfis' boyfriend, wing and mother of the matriarch of the Menfis family and the reason why he is not called on the expedition and because Hilda and Katarina hate each other is Katarina's bitch prohibited Ulric's participation in the expedition, just to mess with Hilda."
"Hey! Because you're telling other people about my love life!"
"I loved it! I take back everything I said before, I will love the brat to be part of our team. He doesn't even have to take a test, I'm friends with anyone who pisses that bitch off."
"That bitch must be so angry and hurt after being dumped that she's even jealous of two teenagers who are half her age dating. This is hilarious, this is the best day of my life."
"Try to control yourself, Vera."
"He still has to do a training fight, so we can get to know his skills so we can get to know him better, Vera. If we just accept him without knowing his abilities, Raven will be annoyed."
"Well, how about we go to one of the guild's trainings hoods to test it out?"
"Could be, but we're going to have to call someone else to help or we'd have to rent a shady field to test his perception."
"A shadow field would be too expensive to use for a simple test, Turel is still sleeping in his room, but we can wake him up to help with the test."
"No need to bother him."
Suddenly a voice came from behind and it scared me a lot, I didn't notice the owner of the voice until she spoke. I've kept my guard up, but I still don't notice anyone approaching from behind, and to add to my nervousness both Vera and Martin are startled and pale at the voice of the person behind me.
"Leader Raven, I thought you would only come back later, did something bad happen?"
"Nothing happened Vera, I just finished everything in the guild quickly today. Are these the new recruits?"
"Yes, we were taking it to test its capabilities."
"Well, but why two and only one of them has the shadow element?"
"The young man with the shadow element and Raziel from the Kelence family and the other and Ulric who seems to be able to fight in the dark even though he doesn't have a shadow element, we were going to test his abilities."
"Interesting, a warrior of the tracker type and rare to find, it seems that luck is smiling again on us. Let's go to a common guild field, I'll test the ability of this tracker myself."
At the command of the team captain, we all left the inn and headed towards the guild's training grounds.
This one is different from what I expected, I didn't expect Captain Raven to show up and I didn't think being on Katarina's bad side would help me join the group.
