The moonlight bathed the forest in its silvery glow as Lumen stood there, his breath coming slow and steady. His renowned Hunter's Stealth skill had proven its worth, allowing him to evade the relentless ambushes of the D tier Shadow Wolf. In that moment, he felt a surge of triumph and relief.
Knowing that the wolf wouldn't return anytime soon, Lumen decided it was time to take the initiative. He couldn't afford to be on the defensive any longer. With the first light of dawn on the horizon, he needed to find the creature's lair and confront it on his terms.
Taking a cautious step forward, Lumen began his search. He moved silently through the forest, his senses finely tuned to his surroundings. His range of perception extended like a web, picking up the faintest sounds, vibrations, and shifts in the shadows.
