Dun dun DUUUUNNNNN

Boops shouted to Jason immediately

"a large group of hostile creatures heading toward you"

Jason reacted immediately by shouting stop. All of the wolves stopped and looked at him curiously. Jason shouted to the alpha wolf in the front

"theirs a group of hostiles coming our way!"

The alpha wolf stopped and looked at Jason. While the rest of the pack shifted around nervously some preparing to fight. One of the older wolves asked Jason curiously

"how do you know hostiles are coming? we can't smell anything near us."

Jason looked around nervously the wolves were looking at him again this time some of them showed a bit of wariness again like before. Jason desperately thought of reason, but not being able to find any good ones he looked at the alpha wolf and tried what somehow worked before.

"a certain someone told me so"

The alpha wolf acted like he was struck by a bolt of understanding and nodded his head and tried to wink again. Jason swore to himself that he was going to create an album of the wolves trying to blink he was pretty sure he could make a killing off of selling it. He jumped up and yelled/barked to the wolves

"get your butts into formation there are enemies coming. I want you, you, and you to lead a group of 5 to ambush the rest of yall get into your darn formation to intercept them!!"

Another older wolf questioned the alpha wolf while sniffing the air

"chief, are you sure enemies are coming? cause we all agreed there is nothi.... ah crap I can smell them"

The wolf didn't question the alpha any more and sprang into formation emitting a deep growl and clawing the ground in a menacing fashion.

Jason shouted into his head

"Boops, I need a number!"

To which Boops replied panicking

'dude I'm still counting them, math was never my best subject '

Jason heard the alpha wolfs yell at the pack to stay focused. That was when both Jason and Boops remembered they were about to fight in a battle.

Jason drew his sword and ran to the front of the pack. Boops started to count intensely in Jason's head

'umm, 30 wait no, their increasing 40? AHH, THEY'RE GETTING EVEN BIGGER ITS A PAIN TO COUNT YOU KNOW ' 50, 54 60. Okay, they stopped at 60. I'm not sure what monster it is but I have a small feeling I know it already.'

And sure enough, the wolves started to growl at the all too familiar smell.

Jason's helmet started to emit a red glow and all of the wolves started to gnash their teeth in anger, even Jeffery was giving the direction the monsters were approaching from a death glare and it was Jeffrey so that was saying a lot. The pack waited patiently, it seems the other group knew about them already as a vanguard of goblins ran in waving clubs and screeching into the air.

Jason was the first to jump in, Boops had confirmed their level

[goblin (armored) level 30]

It was a first to see the (armored) next to a goblins title but Jason easily pierced past the goblins meager leather armor that still had bloodstains on it. Jason quickly took care of the first group of goblins by himself. After raiding the many camps he had started to understand the goblins attack patterns and could easily find their weak spots and understand when they were at their weakest. If Jason didn't get the goblin slayer title soon he was going to get pissed.

Jason continued chopping the ever-increasing crowd of goblins that came charging at them. The wolves had joined the battle at this point doing this signature move of making goblin shish kebab.

So far the pack and Jason were acting like a grinder. Nothing passed them and it was relatively easy. Jason stabbed two goblins with one precise strike and smiled to himself in satisfaction. He thought to himself

"heh that really isn't too bad, we can probably finish this soon huh"

Just when he said that a fricking fireball flew straight into his chest and blew him back a few meters. Jason had just been swinging down his sword and luckily the fireball had collided with it so Jason wasn't facing the full brunt of a fireball that was the size of a basketball.

Jason got up and watched the patch of grass next to him burn into ashes by the magical fire. Jason got up made sure his sword was safe then clasped his hands and thanked the person who had just saved his butt and then ran off the continue fighting. Boops was working overtime and was able to calculate where the mage was by the direction of the fireball and the map. He outlined a dot in the back with a black skull to signify the boss's location and then went back to making sure that all of the wolves were okay. If one wasn't Boops would direct Jason to heal him up. That was how Jason and Boops maintained the 0 fatality rate of the wolves in the last few raids. After the wolves got really friendly with him Boops was able to view their health bar so it became much more convenient for Boops.

Jason really wanted to hunt down the mage, but after seeing the impact of the fireball Jason was a bit tentative to rush straight toward the mage. Who knows if another fireball could rush straight in his face. But then again gaming logic told him that he needed to kill the mage first otherwise it would be a pain.

Jason needed a person to help him in the rush. He looked around carefully. All of the wolves were fighting intensity. He rushed to one of the small fights and helped the wolf that was outnumbered by the goblins. When he was fighting he always kept an eye on the mage and where it would be facing. He was ready for a fireball that would come soaring through the woods.

The goblins got exterminated around the one wolf and the wolf was able to face Jason.

"HOOMAN THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME"

Jason smiled he had come up with an idea and said to Jeffrey

"10 snakoes if you help me for something"

"DEAL WHAT WE KILLING"

"follow me, just be careful its a mage"

"MAGE?"

"a person who shoots fireballs from their hands while acting cool"

"OHH THOSE PEOPLE, ALRIGHT LETS HECK THEM"

The duo of man and wolf ran through the forest under the guide of Boops to the mage.

*fwoosh* Jason saw that the fireball was sailing toward them and he intended to jump and save Jeffrey from the attack. Turns out it was actually headed for him and Jeffery was the one who saved him by tackling him before the fireball connected with his face.

Jeffery looked over Jason and bark loudly

"SNAKOES"

He then ran off and Jason had to run after him. This time they were both ready for any fireballs that came for them. Which they did but with Jason's high agility stat and the wolves' natural agility they jumped around dodging everything.

They emerged from the forest area to see a grassy clearing surrounded by trees. The ground was just grass and the sun was shining over them and the goblin mage. Who stood proudly with a staff pointed at them and trinkets all over its body. Jason couldn't count how many shining things the goblin mage had but he already started to calculate how much money he could get from it.

The goblin mage chanted something and a magic circle appeared and a fireball was thrown at them. The two leaped to the right and left to dodge and got up to attack him. They were flanking the goblin and Jason could already see the panic in its eyes. Jason activated piercing strike and jumped up at the same time as Jefferey who opened his mouth to give a large bite. They clashed against a barrier Jason's sword bounced off and Jeffery faceplanted into the invisible shield.

The goblin cackled in glee and pointed its staff again at Jason. Jason activated his roll skill and managed to dodge. The fireball at point-blank range. In an act of inspiration, Jason shouted to Jeffery who was trying to shake off the face smush that he had just given himself.

"20 snakoes to distract the goblin"

Jeffrey stood up with the clearest light Jason had ever seen in his eyes. His paw left claw marks on the ground. Boops termed this as the appearance of snako wolf
