The adventurers tread cautiously through the dimly lit dungeon, their anticipation growing with each step. Unbeknownst to them, I can attack from any direction as my mana is everywhere throughout the dungeon, I channel my mana and strike them from every direction. Their reflexes and battle-honed skills allow some to dodge and block my attacks, but their equipment gradually wears down under my relentless barrage. Eventually, I land powerful blows that inflict excruciating pain and severe injuries upon them.
To their despair, the adventurers find their wounds resistant to healing. The remnants of my magic obstruct any attempts at recovery, leaving the healer helpless. In a desperate act, the healer tears clothing to fashion crude bandages in a futile attempt to alleviate the bleeding and pain of their wounded comrade.
I focus my onslaught on the vulnerable healer, exploiting their struggle to defend against my relentless attacks while attending to the wounded. The rest of the adventurers rally to protect their party member, pushing their equipment to its limits. In the midst of chaos, the archer seizes an opportunity to strike at my core, but I use the rest of my magic to narrowly divert the arrow's path, avoiding its potentially devastating impact. However, this drains the last of my magical reserves, rendering me powerless.
I tried everything within my power to launch an attack against them, but unfortunately, my attempts proved futile due to the lack of mana required to execute those actions. However, just as the situation seemed dire, I noticed that my Gobwolves had arrived in the adjacent room. The adventurers also became aware of their presence, turning their attention back to witness a formidable onslaught. A horde of Gobwolves surged through each room in search of the adventurers until their gazes met for a fleeting moment.
As I witness the impending clash between my Gobwolves and the adventurers, both sides prepare for battle. The Gobwolves abandon their search for the adventurers and charge forward with unwavering determination. The archer rains down a relentless storm of arrows, aiming for the adventurers' vital organs. Some unfortunate Gobwolves fall instantly, their lives extinguished by the merciless strikes, while others sustain injuries but press on undeterred.
Once the Gobwolves reach the adventurers, they unleash their own barrage of attacks. Spears slice through the air with eerie accuracy, grazing the adventurers and igniting fear. Undeterred, the remaining Gobwolves engage in close-quarters combat, swinging their weapons fiercely against the adventurers. My previous assaults have weakened the adventurers' defenses, leaving them vulnerable to the relentless assault.
A stalemate ensues as the adventurers and Gobwolves clash, exchanging strikes with unyielding determination. The adventurers manage to defeat a few Gobwolves, their skills honed through countless trials. However, their victories are short-lived, as more Gobwolves fill the gaps left by their fallen brethren. The battle reaches a critical point when an exhausted adventurer collapses, unable to withstand the demands of combat. This sparks desperation in the remaining adventurers, who charge frenziedly, disregarding their injuries in a last-ditch effort to overcome the Gobwolves. Fatigued and resolute, their faces contorted with weariness, they fight on.
Despite their determination, the odds are stacked against the adventurers. Weakened and untreated, they eventually succumb to the inevitable. One by one, they succumb to exhaustion or their grievous wounds sustained during their relentless charge.

It appears that I have gained a substantial amount of EXP from that encounter. However, I also suffered significant losses, beginning with the demise of my two most powerful minions. Additionally, my mana reserves have been depleted, preventing me from creating any more minions for the time being. I have allowed my builder and craftsman to cease hiding so that they can resume their work.
This experience has provided me with a deeper understanding of the perils present in this world. Despite the system indicating that these individuals were not particularly formidable, I encountered considerable difficulties when facing them. This realization highlights the inherent danger I face. To ensure my safety, I must expedite my quest for power.
Now, the total amount of EXP I possess stands at...
**************************************************************************
Monsters
Total EXP: 1290
Monster I Cost
Mouse I 100 EXP
Lesser Bird I 120 EXP
Lesser Wolf I 300 EXP
**************************************************************************
Alright, now that I have a total of 1290 EXP, my options for the time being are limited. However, I need to create a boss monster that possesses even greater power. I'll start by developing a Gobwolf shaman, an enhanced version of the regular Gobwolf with the ability to wield magic which I already did have.
Putting that aside, I finally have the opportunity to examine the staves used by the mage and healer. This will allow me to learn how to utilize mana for creating fire and healing, which would be highly advantageous at the moment since some of my minions are still injured. It seems like I have a new area of study now, along with the remaining bodies I provided for my Gobwolves and incinerated. I have plenty more subjects to investigate and experiment with.
