A day has already passed and the great wolf has greatly recovered, but the strange thing was. When Eric asked if he was ready for the fight, to make him convinced that he is stronger. The great wolf got scared when he got asked to fight and straight up refused. as if remembering the scary Aura yesterday.
"Are you certainly not gonna challenge me anymore?"
'Certainly!'
Eric ignore the Great Wolf and continue to lead the pack.
Eric are currently leading the wolves to hunt and level up.
The wolf pack has a total of 20 members including Eric, It has 2 E-Rank, 18 F-Rank.
——(Wolf Pack)——

——(End)——
Affer searching and hunting for about 20 minutes, Eric spotted a goblin village. He couldn't count how many goblin there was, but he guess that, it has more than 200.
The goblin village has a wooden fence around the village and some huts for housing.
Eric attack the goblin village first, by firing 3 fire ball, which killed some goblins and set the goblin village on fire.
After firing the fire ball, Eric howls and lead the wolves to charge at the goblins.
The goblins still panicking and didn't know what to do, because the fire are spreading so fast. when suddenly a bunch of wolves appeared and attack them.
They tried to counter attack the wolves, but when they got close to the wolves, they only felt weak. So weak that their attack couldn't even damage the wolves.
This is because of Eric passive skill - Ruler's Aura, which makes him stronger and enemy weaker when they tried to get close to him.
Eric killed goblins left and right, but the exp he gained when he killed a goblin are so little.
This is because of Eric job skill - Exp Sharing. Which let's him share his and party members gained exp to one another.
Eric made it so he gets 10% exp and the rest 90% are distributed to others. He also made sure the low level members gets higher exp distribution, than the higher lvl members. This is to let the low level members to level up faster.
Eric looked at the Dire Wolf's to see their situation. He found out they were doing great and haven't received any damage.
Eric spotted the Great Wolf fighting a Hobgoblin. The Hobgoblin tried attacking the Great Wolf, but the Great Wolf dodge it and made a counter attack.
This Hobgoblin is (lvl 7) E-Rank and seems to be the leader of the goblins.
Eric charge at the Hobgoblin and attack him with his sharp claws, which killed it.
Eric didn't help the Great Wolf because he was losing the fight against the Hobgoblin, but because he wants to finish the fight as fast as possible.
Although the Great Wolf has lower level than the Hobgoblin, the Great Wolf was stronger. so given enough time the Great Wolf would eventually kill the Hobgoblin.
After 10 minutes of fighting. The wolves (including Eric) killed all the goblins and started eating them. Eric got used to eating raw meat to survive
After the fight. The wolves level up, including Eric. He even gained an Extra skill - Thought Communication, which let's him communicate with others using thoughts.

Leo has the highest level, while the others range from lvl 17 to lvl 24.
Eric looked at Leo, while the wolves surround the humans. Eric currently doesn't know what to do, his confident that he can kill all the humans with the wolves, but he also knows that a few of the wolves might die.
When the wolves tried to surround the humans, they started panicking and anxious.
'What do we do Leo! our mission was only supposed to eradicate the goblin village!' a woman said to Leo.
'I warn you guys to not accept an E-Rank mission yet, when we only just gotten E-Rank Adventurer!' a man exclaimed, he was the lowest lvl in the group.
Loe looked at Eric.
'I know you can understand me!.. and I hope you also understand the situation! ~ if you try and fight us... Both sides will only suffer!' Leo said that as he keep his eyes looking straight at Eric.
After monster evolve to E-Rank, they started to get more intelligent, although they don't gain the ability to speak human word, they gained enough intelligent to understand humans.
"Then tell me you're solution!" Eric spoke to Loe using the skill - Thought Communication.
Leo was shock at first and then felt relieved.
'How about we go our separate ways and think that, nothing ever happened.' Leo suggested.
Eric looked at Leo and activated his skill - Intimidate.
"Don't think that I am a fool!.. that suggestion only benefit you and not me!.. one of your companions just said it himself. You guys came here to destroy the goblin village, which we completed. So if you go back, you can just claim the rewards! ~ And I must let you know that there was about 300 goblin and 1 hob goblin in there. you guys might have completed the mission, but you guys could have also lost some lives. Which means I not only help you complete your mission, but also save your lives." Eric said while using the skill - Intimidate.
Leo and the other humans quickly got scared by the scary aura. Leo was not trying to decieve Eric, but because he completely forgotten about the mission and was just trying to get out of here as fast as possible.
'So what's your suggestion?' Leo activated his skill - Willpower Boost, which relieved some pressure and asked Eric.
"Give me your items."
'Were not giving you our equipment!.. what if you attack us!' Leo immediately refuse.
"I'm not taking your weapons, do you think those things will be useful to us, I meant your potions."
Leo asked a man that was carrying some bags, the man took a bag and he gently put it on the ground.
'This bag has 10 health potion, 5 mana potion and 5 antidote, the health potion cost 2 silver coins each, the mana potion cost 2 silver coins and 50 copper coins, and the antidote cost 50 copper coins, totalling 35 silver coins and 50 copper coins. Our mission rewards are only 30 silver coins." Leo explain to Eric.
"I agree with your offer and if you want, you can trade with some potion with us, we can trade herb, monster material or you can ask for help. We can meet here every 3 days." as Eric said that, he turn off his Skill - Intimidate.
'Sure!' Leo agreed, but whether he will comeback is unknown.
After getting the potion, Eric and the wolves left the humans.
Eric is quite happy with the results, having some potion is useful, although not for him, but for the other wolves it is.
