Night, Enchanted Forest
As we ventured deeper into the mystical jungle, the atmosphere thickened with an air of mystery.
The skeletal soldiers moved with a silent grace, their bones clattering softly against the jungle sounds.
It wasn't long before the System alerted me to the presence of monsters ahead.
"Host, approaching magical creatures detected. Five wolves feeding on a carcass," the System conveyed.
A thrill of anticipation surged within me.
This would be our first real test, a chance to put our coordination and strategy to the test.
Peering through the dense greenery, I spotted the wolves tearing into their gruesome feast.
With a mental command, I signalled my skeletal soldiers to halt.
They froze in place, becoming almost indistinguishable from the shadows of the jungle.
Gabru, their leader, cast a knowing glance, awaiting my next directive.
"Soldiers, advance quietly and hide in the nearby bushes. Wait for my second command," I communicated through the verbal connection.
The army moved seamlessly, their movements a dance of calculated precision.
The rustling of bones was nearly imperceptible as they manoeuvred into position, blending effortlessly with the surroundings.
Gabru led them with a disciplined authority, a silent commander in the shadowy theatre of the jungle..
As they took their positions near the bushes, I observed their stealthy approach with a sense of satisfaction.
The wolves, engrossed in their tasty meal, remained oblivious to the approaching threat.
I took a moment to assess the situation, the holographic interface displaying the details of the wolves and their surroundings.
[Night Wolves]
(Level- 1)
It was time for the second command.
"Soldiers, on my signal, strike with coordinated precision. Gabru, lead the charge," I commanded, my thoughts resonating with authority.
The skeletal soldiers and Gabru nodded in unison, their anticipation echoing through the subtle clattering of bones.
The wolves, unaware of the approaching danger, continued their feast.
With a mental countdown, I prepared to issue the signal. Three... two... one.
"Now!" I commanded.
The jungle erupted with orchestrated chaos.
The skeletal soldiers burst from their hiding spots, swift and silent, converging on the unsuspecting wolves.
Gabru led the charge with a calculated ferocity, his skeletal sword flashing in the dotted moonlight.
The wolves, caught off guard, attempted to defend themselves, but the coordinated onslaught proved overwhelming.
"How-Howl. "
The clash of bones and feral growls echoed through the jungle as the skirmish unfolded.
My eyes were fixed on the holographic interface, monitoring the progress of the battle.
[You've gained 1 EXP! ]
[ +2 EXP Gained! ]
Experience points surged with each defeated wolf, and I could sense the army's unity growing stronger with every successful strike.
[ +1 EXP Gained! ]
Amid the chaos, Gabru stood as a leader, his movements a testament to the discipline instilled in the undead ranks.
The wolves, outnumbered and outmatched, succumbed to the might of the skeletal army.
As the last wolf fell, the jungle returned to an eerie calm.
[ +1 EXP Gained! ]
The victorious skeletal soldiers regrouped, awaiting my next command. Gabru, though devoid of expression, emanated a silent pride through his posture.
"Excellent job, my skeletons, " I commended them mentally. "Prepare for the next massacre. "
The clattering that followed carried a mix of acknowledgement and readiness.

"Okay, so 20 more to go!"
As the echoes of the victorious battle faded away, a low growl rumbled through the night. I tensed, realizing that the encounter with the Night Wolves was not over.
"System, report," I demanded, my gaze fixated on the holographic interface.
"Host, approaching magical creatures detected. Twenty wolves surrounding the area," the System informed, urgency lacing its mechanical voice.
"Soldiers, prepare for another round. Be ready for anything," I mentally commanded my skeletal army.
The air thickened with excitement as the undead soldiers lined up, holding their weapons and getting ready for action.
Just as I braced for the upcoming onslaught, an unexpected sight unfolded.
The growls ceased abruptly, replaced by a strange silence.
All twenty wolves bowed their heads together, making a spooky picture of them all being very polite and respectful.
"What is happening?" I muttered, puzzled by this sudden change in behaviour.
A colossal figure emerged from the shadows—a majestic blue wolf, its fur shimmering in the moonlight.
"What the fuck is that? "
Its presence commanded respect, and when it howled, a shiver ran down my spine.
The wolves, previously menacing, now bowed before their leader.
"System, identify the new entity," I requested, my eyes fixed on the enigmatic blue wolf.
[Alpha Nightshade]
(Level- 2)
"Howww!"
Before I could comprehend the situation, Alpha Nightshade's howl resonated through the enchanted forest, signalling the commencement of a battle unlike any before.
The twenty wolves, now under the command of their alpha, launched an organized attack.
"Soldiers, Kill every wolf present here, not a single one of them should be kept alive," I warned my skeletal army.
The battle erupted with a loud mix of bone sounds and growls in the enchanted forest. At first, it looked like my undead army would easily beat the ordinary wolves.
But then came Alpha Nightshade, the big blue wolf, moving gracefully and fiercely.
It suddenly attacked my skeletal soldiers, tearing through five of them with precise moves.
Thinking quickly, I knew I had to join the fight. With focus, I pulled out my sword.
The battlefield buzzed as I faced Alpha Nightshade.
It was a showdown between leaders, a clash of undead and enchanted beings.
"Soldiers, hold your ground! Gabru, guard the side!" I shouted, my voice echoing through the chaos.
As my skeletal soldiers regrouped, I charged at Alpha Nightshade.
Our blades clashed with magical intensity, the blue wolf countering with strength that matched its royal presence.
While fighting, I made a plan. It was clear that beating Alpha Nightshade would change the battle.
I signalled my remaining skeletal soldiers to focus on the regular wolves, taking their attention away from the leader.
The battle was a whirlwind. My skeletal soldiers fought the wolves, facing a tough challenge.
Amidst this chaos, Alpha Nightshade and I duelled, each move aiming to find weaknesses.
In a bold move, I blocked Alpha Nightshade's attack and counterattacked.
The big blue wolf dodged with surprising agility.
The enchanted forest became the backdrop to our intense blade dance.
Meanwhile, my skeletal soldiers managed to reduce the number of regular wolves, but the leader's power remained strong. The battle could still go either way.
I focused. "Gabru, help the soldiers! We must break Alpha Nightshade's hold on the pack," I told him in our mental connection.
Gabru led a group of skeletal soldiers to face the remaining wolves.
Their disciplined formation aimed to disrupt the unity among the enchanted creatures. The battle raged on, both sides fighting for control.
In the heart of the conflict, my duel with Alpha Nightshade heated up.
"How-howl! "
The blue wolf's howls echoed, bringing an otherworldly power.
Throughout the battle, virtual scenes often appeared in front of me, yet I chose to ignore them for the time being.
As moonlight filtered through the dense foliage, my blades clashed with his claw in a magical symphony.
"I have to end it fast. "
