They got out of the tree and looked around vigilantly, after making sure that no monster is there, they continued like this until a big bear show up.Isis looked to William and he went to fight, he wants to know the average power of the nearby monsters.
Doing a sneak attack is futile, this bear looks though.With his shit sword is almost impossible to kill it in a hit.
The bear stood in his hind paws and roared, William thought he is gonna be slow, but the bear is like a bullet.William got prepared to the collision, but a light illuminated the claws of the bear.
William immediately activated Stab and reflected the claws, and one more time activated Stab and pierced it's chest.The bear struggled but William took back his sword, and was in a secure distance.
His face is pale, now he understands the sensation of not having energy in the body.His stamina must advance but all his others stats need too.
"Oh, that bear looks a little strong." Rebecca is a little surprise.
"He had used all his energy, because he didn't take the bear seriously." Isis said coldly.
"Sorry, I didn't expect that the bear will use abilities." William said scratching his head.
[Killed a Stronge-arm bear and gained +100 experience.]
The bear struggled for a while, and his body turned in particles.
William got surprised with the quantity of experience earned.
'My sword is too weak now, the next level up I will put all points in strength.' William thought while looking to the disappearing body.
"Of course monsters have abilities too, only that low and medium monsters just have basic abilities.Like enhancing strength or speed, but this is strong too, so don't underestimate them." Rebecca said.
"Now that I thought, why you are here?Without combat power, you are gonna die." William said with surprise.
"I'm weak now, but my eyes still there.My knowledge might help you guys." Rebecca replied.
"You can protect Lara." William said annoyed.
"If a monster attack the base, it doesn't matter if I there or not." Rebecca replied lightly.
When they are talking, a pack of wolves monsters surrounded they.Wolves monsters are common everywhere, so the adventurers invented a way to discern they.Normally just the fur color show what element they use, a green wolf can be both a normal wolf, a wind or a wood wolf.
This method isn't accurate, but it's better than nothing.There unknown types of wolves out there, decreasing the possibility to 3 types just by the fur color is a great help.This method is mostly used in unknown locals, monsters attributes sometimes are biased.Knowing the attributes of one monster can sometimes make you know what type of region is here.
The wolves that surrounded they, are red like flames.Don't need even being a adventurer to know that this type of wolf might be flame wolves.
There is more than 10 of them.
William don't have more stamina to use his skills, but he is already used to fight normally.
"Can you do that?" Isis suddenly asked.k
The wolves are still observing the prey, so they didn't attack immediately.
William looked heavily to the wolves and said "I can do it, you just protect Rebecca."
"I know how to do my job." Isis said and backed off carrying Rebecca.
When the wolves wanted to go after the two, William attacked one of the wolves and beheaded it.They immediately changed the attention to him.A notification come in his head, but he don't care now.
One wolf jumped straight to him, and he attacked with the sword, but it's bite by the wolf.When he wanted push his sword and cut it's head, others wolves came from behind and the sides.
If he backed now, they will do it several times until he is killed.So William is ruthless and still pushed the sword, the wolf head is cut off and the sword is free, he immediately blocked one wolf from the right and dodged to the side.
The wolf from behind was going to bite William's neck but he dodged and he bites only the shoulder, and one wolf from the left bites his thigh.
William just frowned and jumped in a wolf head, to don't be ganged up.When he is in the air, he cutted the two wolves that are still biting himself.When he falls in the ground, the remaining 6 wolves immediately surrounded him.
Apparently they know about finishing the prey when is weak.William wounds started to heat, as if there fire.But his armor plus his own resistance made the wound just look scary, it wasn't deep.
One wolf after another attacked him without time to think.They don't do the other strategy again, they probably know their numbers are significant smaller now, so that strategy will only make them worse.
When he deflected a lateral attack, one more came from the other side, he can just block with the left arm.The wolf bites his arm and backed off, it's smarter than the others who continued biting.
William frowned, not because the pain, but if he continue like this, he will die.Isis will save him in the end, but he don't wanna depend in other person, and being saved by a woman has a bad taste in the mouth.It's alright she being much stronger than himself, but all men wants appear cool to women, not the other way.
He imagined a cool movement while dodging a wolf, and his eyes brightened.William changed his grip in the hilt of the sword, like a spear he threw it to a wolf.The wolf can't dodge and it's nailed in the ground.
The position of that wolf was in the way of William, so he attacked a wolf in his side with only bare hands.After killing the wolf, he dodged the remaining 4, and caught his sword.The number decreased, so he go head on with those wolves, after a few minutes they are beheaded.
After killing all wolves, he looked triumphantly to Isis and Rebecca.They aren't even looking to him.William got disappointed, but he looked the log of the system.
Each wolf gave him 50 points of experience, plus the previous bear, half of the level is complete already.
What is strange is that he got a new skill.
[Skills]
Passive skills:
- Greed
Active skills:
- Stab lv.1
- Throwing lv.1
If someone only looks to his skills, it will think he is a lancer.
"Finished?" Rebecca asked while approaching with Isis.
William just rolled his eyes, there's no wolf here.If he didn't finish, then a ghost finished.
"You have so many injuries with just a pack of wolves.Even though your stats is a little low, the most lacking thing on you is skills." Isis said consistently.
"I know, but is difficult creating a skill, I tried in several ways when a had free time." William said helpless.
"I'm not talking about quantity, but quality.No matter your level, stamina is limited, so having several lv.1 skills is worthless." Isis replied.
"Upgrading the skill is even more difficult." William looked depressed.
"Are you even using the skill?" Rebecca suddenly asked.
"I'm only use when encounter some troublesome enemy." William thought and replied.
"This is the mistake of almost everyone, they think that the skills are like ultimates in games.There skills like that, but skills is for using like a strong attack, and not a ultimate." Rebecca explained.
"But I can only use my skill two times and my stamina is over, now that I have another skill is even more impossible." William said puzzled.
"This where the point is, if you don't use frequently, how will you learn to use efficiently." Isis said calmly.
William thinks he understood, it's like everything in life, to learn you have to do first.
"Well, let's go.With such pack of wolves, must have a Wolf dungeon near." Rebecca said.
"Finally I will see a dungeon boss, in the government dungeons, the dungeon boss is only permitted to high ranking officials.I heard that they have chance of dropping rare equipment, but the chance is small, only the dungeon core has guaranteed rare equipment, and the best in effects too." William said excited.
"How did you know this?" Rebecca looked weirdly to William, even though it isn't confident information, the majority of people think that the dungeon boss didn't respawn.
"Lara said to me before." William said a little sad.
"Yes, it's true, just that the dungeon boss respawn only 4 times in a year.While the normal mob respawn everyday and the special mobs respawn one time every week.And even if they aren't killed, one more will be born." Rebecca said.
"What, are you saying that if a dungeon from 10 years ago isn't found yet, they have more than 40 dungeon boss?!" William said unbelievable.
"Yes, but only a small part will stay in the dungeon, is this why there monsters everywhere.And this why the federation is preoccupied with stronger dungeons, if the dungeon boss is stronger than any human, there still ways to resolve.But if the dungeon stay a year without being discovered, 4 of such monsters will be threatening to the existence of humans.If the dungeon still there, no matter how monsters you kill." Rebecca replied dignified.
