"Get down!" Ryu yelled as he swung the sword at his next target.
“Ggrrrrr”
Hearing Ryu, Kenzo immediately crouched down. Just in time for Ryu's sword to pass over him. At that moment, Zack made sparks appear in the wolf's eyes, blinding him.
swish
The beast's head separated from his neck, and the body fell to the ground, limp.
¡¡¡Level Up!!!
Zack closed the notification as quickly as possible, they weren't out of the woods yet.
With how often they are fighting, the synergy between the three of them was increasing by leaps and bounds. Even so, the situation has not improved much.
Zack, Ryu, and Kenzo were surrounded by wolves. Obviously, they weren't normal wolves.
The wolves they were facing were much larger than ordinary wolves and had black fur that blended in with the interior of the cave.
After several hours of navigating the dungeon, Zack and his companions reached the stairs of the third level. Of course, this was thanks to the map they had with them, otherwise, they might still be looking for the stairs to the first floor.
With each level, the chaotic mana of the dungeon was increasing, the monsters that appeared were getting bigger and more dangerous, and their mutations more complete.
Zack and the others' mission was not to complete the dungeon. Their goal was to reach the tenth floor. Otherwise, looking at the rate at which the monsters progress with each level, it is most likely that he and his companions were dead before reaching the last level.
Unfortunately, they found themselves in trouble much sooner than they expected.
When they entered the third floor, the first monster they encountered was a wolf. Seeing that there was only one enemy, they adopted the same strategy as in their first fight: Kenzo would confront the wolf head-on, while Zack would try to create an opportunity for Ryu to attack him.
The only problem is that plans don't always work out.
Initially, there was only one wolf on the trail. What Zack and his companions didn't know is that these mutated wolves had the ability to camouflage themselves.
At the moment when Kenzo was facing the first wolf, a second wolf came out of the shadows and attacked him from behind. Seeing this, Zack set out to attack the second wolf.
Although the Spark spell does not have any offensive power, it is extremely useful for interfering with enemies.
It was at that moment that a third wolf appeared in front of Zack and pounced on him. They thought there was only one wolf when in reality there were three.
Fortunately, Ryu appeared at that moment on the monster's side, and inserted his sword into its abdomen, causing it to miss its target and deal fatal damage at the same time.
Seeing how close the wolf was to ripping his neck off, Zack began to sweat. Luckily Ryu noticed something strange. Otherwise, it's possible that it was Zack who would be bleeding on the floor.
Seeing their companion fall, the remaining wolves began to howl with all their might. Zack and the others tried to finish them off as quickly as possible but it was too late.
All the wolves that were nearby responded to the call, and before long there were more than ten wolves in front of them.
The group tried to back off, but the pack soon surrounded them. And now they find themselves fighting for their lives.
The guard accompanying them was several meters away, away from the conflict, as if he didn't care that they were in real danger.
Maybe it's true.
Strangely, none of the wolves indicated any intention to attack him, as if their instincts prompted them to ignore him, or perhaps it was the effect of a skill.
Seeing that they weren't going to receive any help, Zack dodged a charge from one of the wolves and quickly positioned himself between Kenzo and Ryu.
"I'm done, are you ready?" Zack asked when he saw that his preparations were finished.
"It was about damn time!! For a moment I thought you were distracted again ”Ryu said as he slowly approached his companions. Kenzo nodded his head to indicate that he was ready and did the same as Ryu.
"Then let's get started" Zack took his hand to a bag he had tied around his waist and took something out of it. When Zack opened his hand, the others saw that he only had a handful of dust.
Then, the dust began to float by itself, as if by magic, and headed towards his enemies.
When the dust got into the wolves' eyes, a terrible itch engulfed them, forcing them to close them, moving their heads from one side to another, trying to shake it off.
This was the spell Zack spent all night trying to learn for an emergency.
Breeze.
The spell will do exactly that, it summons a small breeze that can be controlled at will. This spell was created as a minor version of the Wind spell, used by apprentice wizards on very hot days to cool down. Under normal circumstances, this spell would be useless, but in the circumstances they were in it was the best they could have.
As the wolves tried to rub the dust out of their eyes, Kenzo stepped forward and began to yell:
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
His scream started to damage the delicate eardrum of the wolves.
Suddenly the wolves seemed to have lost interest in brushing the dust from their eyes. All the wolves without exception began to pounce on the group.
Provoke.
One of the skills for which Thugs are best known. No matter what enemy they face, the moment Kenzo uses this ability, his enemies will attack him regardless of the danger.
Just as the wolves were about to reach them, Ryu and Kenzo swung their swords as they moved around Zack to prevent him from taking any damage.
Although the wolves were repelled, most of them barely suffered scratches when they fell to the ground. However, when they tried to get up they slipped and hit the ground again.
Without any of them noticing, the ground they were stepping on was completely wet. The only dry area was where Zack and his companions were.
During the time that Ryu and Kendo were trying not to get hurt by the wolves, Zack was continuously using the Summon Water spell to change the terrain to his advantage.
The greatest power of a mage has never been the powerful spells that allowed them to wipe out entire armies at will, but the insight with which they used their spells to change the outcome of what was previously considered inevitable.
"Now the real action begins," Ryu said. Kenzo and Zack smiled at him.
Ryu and Kenzo's swords began to glow fluorescently, and the mutated wolves around them couldn't help but feel danger from it. Still, they couldn't do anything as they charged toward their enemies, and probably towards their deaths.
…
Far from the dungeon, in a beautiful mansion in the noble area of the capital, not far from the castle.
A beautiful young woman, doubtless of noble descent, watched the city streets from her office window. Behind her, several figures were waiting for her orders while remaining silent.
"Is everything alright?" asked the young woman, interrupting the silence of the room with her question.
One of the people stepped forward and responded submissively.
“Everything is going according to plan, my lady. Our members are ready and in their positions. As soon as we receive the signal from the other team, we can start."
The young woman seemed pleased to hear that.
“Don't forget that we can only start when twenty minutes after the instrument is activated. Otherwise, the reinforcements they sent to the dungeon might intercept us before we get what we want."
The young noblewoman was silent for a moment before turning to another of the figures.
“Now that I think about it, none of this could happen if it wasn't for you. Who would have thought that the old duke would have such a thing in his possession? When the operation ends successfully, you can choose whatever you want as a reward."
“That will not be necessary, my lady,” the figure said quickly. “If it weren't for your grace, I would very likely be dead. Nothing I do will be enough to pay you for your generosity."
"Nonsense. You have made an enormous contribution by giving us this information, and you will be rewarded for it. No excuses” said the young woman while her eyes shone in a slight pink tone.
The woman knelt on the ground the next moment, her eyes shining in the same tone.
"It is an honor, my lady" said the figure quickly.
The noblewoman approached and patted her head. "Don't worry, as long as you obey me, all your wishes will come true, dear Wendy."
Wendy's eyes shone brighter "Yes, my lady"
