Dyrant Wolf

Kai was bewildered, wondering if the location he was in was similar to the Battler's Online he used to play. Well, he didn't have enough information to prove that aside from the Nocturnal Tower, Deranium City, and Guilds.

Battler's Online was a typical VRMMORPG in which players battled monsters, completed quests, and sold the items they obtained. However, the main goal of this game was to clear all of the dungeons, destroy the monsters, and travel to different imperiums. Furthermore, he discovered the goddesses and demons existed in this game while spending so much time on it. And the Deranium City was only a microcosm of this vast world.

He eventually shook his head, clearing all the thoughts that had arisen inside his mind. "If that's the case, I should keep going to learn more about this world."

Kai appeared to be gaining an understanding of why he was in this situation in the first place. Technically speaking, if the screen didn't display multiple quests, he would probably never enter this location.

"The only thing I have to do right now is get stronger and gaining more levels so that I can use the attribute points I'll be collecting to get more information," Kai said solemnly, as he didn't have any other options.

...

After 10 minutes of resting in the corner, Kai decided to advance to the next floor which was the 7th floor. To begin, he placed his hands on the gate and pushed it with his strength.

The door groaned as it gave way to the young man, who was staring at the wide new floor, which had multiple paths that looked like tunnels and were surrounded by magical crystals.

His lungs filled with the earthy scent, and he felt his feet step on the sticky wet surface, which was unusual for him. Aside from that, the place was too quiet, leading him to believe there were no monsters on the 7th floor.

So, what could he possibly expect? When the Union Guild arrived on this floor, they had most likely already annihilated all of the monsters that stood in their way.

"No, it's a dungeon, so the monsters on a specific floor would reset after clearing; if my opinion is wrong, the only thing the monsters could do to increase their number is breed, and I can't rule out that possibility because I never saw monsters respawning in front of me."

After nearly five minutes of walking, he detected the scent of iron and discovered the corpses of several monsters on the floor. The Union Guild, as expected, went to the right side, which is why the monsters here were already dead.

At this point, the only option was to go in a different direction, which was the left tunnel, but he chose not to go any further.

Kai noticed a new type of monster eating a single goblin's corpse as soon as he exited the tunnel. To put it simply, the goblin's organs were scattered all over the place and emitted a rotten fish odor.

"What the fuck is this? How can they eat that?" He covered his mouth, unable to bear the disgusting work done by the monsters here.

[Peek!]

To have information about the three monsters around him, he immediately used one of his skills.

[Dyrant wolf (level 7)]- an aggressive type of monster with high agility that chases or attacks its opponents. Before launching their attacks, some of them try to hide in dark places.

[Dyrant wolf skill(s)]

[Fang crush]- They can easily bite your flesh and crush your bones into several pieces by using their metallic fangs.

[Slash]- their claws are as sharp as a sword, and they can swing them to inflict more damage.

Three monsters stood in front of him, each 120 centimeters tall and half a meter wide, with dark blue fur, red eyes, sharp fangs, and claws. Yes, this wolf was much larger than the average wolf.

"This... This skill is awesome, just like that I already had the information that I needed to know," Kai said, not forgetting to point his spear at the monsters.

Grr... Grr... Grr...

Wolves grunted aggressively, forming their bodies and legs as if about to attack him.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

When the monsters realized there was a human on this floor, one monster immediately charged toward Kai, while the other jumped through the wall to increase their speed.

"I complimented you on your agility, but your speed isn't fast enough for my eyes to now follow it." He was watching all three monsters wherever they went, realizing those monsters were using their speed to confuse him.

[Thorn dash!]

He dashed toward the monster and then put a mark to increase his damage and activate the passive effect of the [Thorn dash]. Then dashed into the second monster and up to the third monster. This would increase his damage by 65 percent, enough to kill a level monster.

Swoosh!

He took a step back, keeping a 3-meter distance between himself and the monster. He then applied his new skill, the [Deadly reach].

When one of the wolves jumped into mid-air, attempting to inflict damage with its fang. At the same time, Kai thrust his spear forward, aiming for the monster's open mouth.

Swish!

The spear's tip pierced the back of the monster's head, causing it to groan in pain as Kai slowly whirled inside. Furthermore, he swung the spear to the right side because the other monster there had gotten closer.

Thud!

The wolf clung to the spear and collided with another wolf, which was powerful enough to send the monster fleeing and whacked into the wall.

Thud!

Kai kicked the monsters positioned behind him in preparation for a surprise attack. "Do you believe that small tricks would work on me?"

He stepped on the wolf's body to draw his spear. After that, he continued to stab the monster's head to ensure that it was already dead.

[You have gained 102 experience points for killing the Dyrant wolf!]

Another screen appeared in front of him, but he didn't pay attention because the two remaining monsters jumped into mid-air at the same time.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

"All of you are fools!"

And again, Kai used the [Dealy reach] with the monster that attained 3 meters distance towards him

Swish!

While blood splashed over him, his spear stabbed the monster's bulky body. Nonetheless, Kai cast a glance at his behind out of the corner of his eyes, then shifted his grip on the spear and thrust the remaining monster with the handle.

Thud!

Kai was able to swing his spear and cut the monster's head away from its body as the monster's elevation increased.

[You have received 206 exp from killing the Dyrant wolf!]

"Now, let's head into the interesting part!"

[Core manifestation!]

Crack!
