The alpha who had been at the rear this whole time immediately noticed the drastic reduction in the number of Mutant Wolves.
It knew it had to call off this fight before things go beyond his control.
"Awoo!"
Seeing that this fight is not worth it, it immediately called them to order, ordering them to retreat in the 'Wolf language' of howling.
Hearing the howl all the mutant wolves retreated.
What was even confusing was that they scattered in a different direction, some going north, some south, west, and east each man to his own choice.
"Fuck!" Leo clenched his fist, there is no way he gonna let his EXP escape. He finished the closest wolf quickly. But before he could register the sudden events a familiar annoying prompt came out.
┏━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━┓
[Host has accumulated enough EXP]
[Leveled up!]
Host's Current Level: LVL 7
Five Stats Points have been added to each of the Host's Stats!
┗━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━┛
The familiar feeling of being refreshed washed down his body, but this time, instead of being excited, he was angry and irritated so badly that if he could, he would crush that crystal for disrupting his thoughts and sending the notification at such bad timing.
"Fuck you, System! Don't you know now's not the right time!!! I will fuckin check this later!" Leo swiped away the panel angrily and tried to keep his emotions in check while trying to think properly, all at the same time.
'Annoying and Senseless System!!!'
He immediately focused on his situation as it needed immediate thought.
Thinking about the wolves, 'if they ran in different directions to confuse Me, then they would change directions after some time and would all go meet up in a secret hideout or cave. Or Something like that.
'That was unexpected, as expected from highly intelligent animals that have lived in this dungeon for many years, so most of them are familiar with most of the terrains and I am at a disadvantage at that point'
'But did they really think that I am foolish enough to chase a random beta wolf, or did they think I will go around killing wolves so that I will gain exp? To ascend from this dungeon even the smallest level beast needs to be cleared, because, without that, the ascending portal won't appear!'
'Whatever! There is nothing to think about here, will just try my luck on their Alpha, I hope things are the way I see them, because if not, then am in deep trouble, they have all the advantages right now!' Leo sprinted in the direction of the alpha at the full limit of his light Steps skill.
It did not take long for him to see the silhouette of the alpha Wolf.
But suddenly, it looked back, its eyes looking straight at Leo's eyes. Leo could feel a malicious intent from those eyes as he watched the alpha Wolf sprint, its tongue flapping like a flag and dripping saliva as the wolf as it ran without stopping.
Leo at this point started to doubt his judgment, the wolf clearly was not surprised to see him. It was as if it had expected this a long time ago.
'Is there anything I am missing' Still thinking about this Leo didn't dare to stop. He continued to chase the wolf, all thanks to light Steps, he was able to keep up with the wolf's speed and is now catching up to the wolf.
But he knew he had to do something about this and end all of this soon. Because the barrier and light Steps were sucking his Mana reserve dry.
"Woof! Woof!"
The Wolf suddenly barked at him, as if warning him that his efforts are being wasted.

'As expected of the most generous system' Leo thought sarcastically. 'And also the most dangerous system ever!'
Though he was joking around. He was really taking this matter seriously.
He did not want or plan to lose Mana Jet anytime soon. Neither does he want to get
The skill is of great help to him, and the burst and force of that skill helped him defeat a dungeon boss raven who has the strength of an LVL 9 beast. A beast three lvl stronger than he was at that time.
If not for that skill and his quick thinking and quick action, he would have died.
He needed that skill and he knew it, that's why he had to take this Mission seriously.
And also, the idea of getting another Super Thief Skill excited him, he knew how awesome light step was, it's a non-combat skill and also a combat skill. Two in one! The same goes for Mana Jet! and he is proud
of creating such an awesome skill.
The added boost to agility makes his attack, faster, and swifter! Increasing his attack power and giving him an advantage of the element of surprise to the target.
That's why he was able to cause a massacre that immediately caused the mutant brown wolf's pack to retreat, because, he knew that, without light Steps. He will have a hard time dealing with and hunting down these mutant wolves.
He immediately started thinking about their plan seriously, 'How did they plan to trap me, did they want to trap me in an ice cave? But there is no way they would lead me to an ice cave, at least, not with their high intelligence and there is no way I would carelessly chase them to any cave if that's what they are leading me to'
'And that method would require something to lure me in, but the only thing that can lure me in is their alpha...ugh! this makes no sense'
'if it's a cave, I need to kill all beasts in this dungeon to ascend so if they lure me with anything and I did not I did go follow the lure then their plan has failed..no it's not a cave!!'
'if it's not a cave then what is it!?...ugh! Such a pain in the *ss'
This was the first time Leo had come across a situation that was so confusing and hard to think of a Solution.
