Tom had finally found the boss room and before entering the room he checked that his stats were fully restocked.
His stats were fully restored, he pushed the door and went in.
Inside he saw a wolf, a wolf that looked very different from the other wolves, if he were among humans he would have been a noble or a king.
His fur was black, slightly wavy and rippled like a shadow.
Its eyes looked like deep darkness, which gave the beholder a feeling of emptiness.
Tom looked at his wolf's stats and name.
Shadow Maned Wolf
Skills
Shadow Wave: The Wolf gathers the shadows around him and sends out a wave of energy. This wave affects a specific area, casting a shadow curse on all enemies, damaging them and restricting their vision for a few seconds.
Shadow Infiltration: The wolf turns completely into shadow and appears behind an enemy, unleashing a blitz attack.
Passive Abilities: During combat, his body can become translucent, blending into his surroundings.
Tom thought this Wolf was an assassin among assassins. He raised his guard all the way up, the wolf opened its mouth and released a wave of energy and Tom hurried to the side.
But he didn't quite dodge it, a small part of the spell hit him and he was blinded for 10 seconds.
As if sensing what the wolf was going to do, Tom immediately used his quick slash technique behind him and made 4 attacks that collided with a claw.
Tom managed to dodge and inflicted heavy damage to one of the wolf's claws.
Normally Tom would have had to sacrifice an arm to inflict this damage on the wolf, but the amesist earring saved him the trouble.
The wolf retreated and sent another shadow attack at Tom. Tom was prepared this time and quickly dodged the attack and attacked the wolf.
They fought back and forth with the wolf for 2 hours and Tom could feel his intermediate katana technique leveling up at a great rate.
Intermediate katana art (normal) 40
Tom sent 7 slashes at the monster with his quick slash technique, the monster blocked some of the attacks but 4 slashes damaged it and it roared in pain.
It sent a wave of shadow towards Tom, he couldn't dodge it, he was blinded, the monster took advantage of this and used its Shadow infiltration ability on Tom.
Tom knew the beast was going to use it, so he looked behind him, calculated where to look based on the wolf's height and activated the beast's eyes.
The wolf had blinded the human, teleported behind him and prepared to slice him in half with a bite, but then the wolf looked at the human and saw red eyes.
The wolf did not expect this, his will was not prepared for it, his only fate was to die when the wolf blinded the human at that range, the wolf was paralyzed.
Tom focused all his mana and used his ability to slow down time. He might be blind now, but he could still feel something, even if his other senses were too restricted.
As soon as the wolf looked into his eyes he felt the wavelength of his opponent, he focused all his mana on the time slowing technique and
He activated his new speed to full potential and half a second later the wolf's head exploded.
"Congratulations on killing a mid-level dungeon boss"
Tom collapsed exhausted, some blood in his mouth. Every time he used the time slowing technique like this he took damage, but this time he noticed that the damage was less and he wondered why, there was only one variable and that was his stats.
Tom realized that maybe his body couldn't handle the ability and that's why he was getting the backlash. As he got stronger he would probably be able to slow down time 200% 300% without any problems.
Tom went to look at the dropped items.
"Congratulations on single-handedly slaying a dungeon boss far above your level, the system has decided to reward you"
Tom saw a crate fall into his hand
earthly chest
He realized that it was a chest of the level above the expert, he was very happy and immediately opened the chest and after an intense glow, a katana appeared in his hand.
The katana had a black and shiny blade with silver patterns on the edges that shone like a faint moonlight.
The hilt was decorated with black leather and moon motifs. On it were thin red veins symbolizing dark energy.
When unsheathed, it emitted a light mist that enveloped the surrounding area for a short time.
Dark Moon: a katana forged from the bones, tendons and heart of a powerful dark beast, legend has it that the blacksmith who forged it lost his 5 senses forever due to the dark curse.
Abilities prince of darkness Gives an extra shadow power to your next attack, dealing 100% extra damage and a 50% chance to blind enemies taking damage (10 second cooldown)
passive abilities *Katana restores 5% of the user's health for each use of the prince of darkness ability
Tom's red eyes were shining and he felt like a baby with a new toy, he was very happy.
Shadow mane wolf essence: increases perception and strength by chance Tom used it immediately and
He felt his perception increase by 8 points, his strength by 8 points, his bones and muscles stiffened and he felt the detail of the world around him increase considerably, it was definitely worth it Tom opened his stats.
