Chapter 2
Grrrrrr
Karrkkkkkkk
Sniff Sniff Sniff Sniff
Foooo~
Silently taking a deep breath, I quietly waited, as I stalk 3 of {Gray Wolves} in 1st floor, behind them in silence. Holding my Mythril Sword in my left, I quietly bend down to make my stance. Moving my right foot forward, as I bended my other foot behind.

Krraarkkkkkkk
Grrrrrrrr
Arrffkkkkk
As the 3 growled in frustration, I patiently waited, in silence I stalk.
Fooo~
Taking another breath, I then kicked the small rock, in front of my right foot, while roughly brushing my foot atop of the grasses blades
Tunck
Rustle Rustle
As soon as I did so, the 3 {Gray Wolves} then rose their ears up, as they turned their heads towards me. As their gaze saw me, they they growled, aggressively, and bended their body down.
Arrkkkkrrfkkk
Ggrrrrrrrr
Slowly, the 3 then bare their fangs and claws as they growled, while the other snapped their jaws, indicating their threat. With their eyes perks as they stared, the three then slowly circled me, but it didn't took time as the wind blows
Swoosh
(Author's POV)
Without wasting any time, the 3 {Gray Wolves} then took their chances and lunched themselves towards Vince. One took the right, the other took his left, and another one was behind him. Calmly taking his breath, he then flawlessly unsheathed his blade
"[Quick Reflexes]"
"[Spiral Blade]"
And swung it like a swirling pool of wind, and cut his enemy down, rotating himself in his stance
Slash
[Perfect Strike! Mastery +3 for [Spiral Blade], and [Quick Reflexes]
Thud Bang
In a swift motion, the 3 beast then stumbled as he brought his blade down, sheathing it back to his scabbard.
Tap
[You have gained 150 Exp for hunting {Gray Wolves}]
Foooo~
After taking a breath, he then stood up
"This should be my 10th hunt today"
Ggrrrrrrr
Arfkkkrrrrkkkk
Snap Ggrrrrrrrr
Arrrff Arrrfffff
Suddenly heard some cries, he then looked upfront, to only see 5 hungry, and aggressive {Gray Wolves}, abruptly greeting him just a few distance away from him. Crouching as they slowly moved, their teeth bare their sharp fangs, as their claws prowl the ground, with eyes glaring in blood-shotted gaze.
(Vince POV)
Seeing those beast, gradually shortening the distance between me and them, I then took my stance. Holding my sword on my left, I then bend down
"[Sharp Edge]"
"[Holy Brilliance]"
"[Swift Nimble]"
"[Quick Reflexes]"
"[Shadow Dash]"
Swoosh
And propelled myself upfront.
Grrrrrr! Arf Arf Arf!
Bark Bark Bark!
Awooooo~!
The 5 {Gray Wolves} then, upon the single of the ones behind them, dashed towards me, with fangs and claws, sharpened and hardened.
One of the {Gray Wolves}, who is upfront, then jump up first at me. Two of the {Wolves} were at its right, while the other was at its left, following it from behind. Seeing that, I then unsheathed my sword from its scabbard, and swung it towards it, with a diagonal slash
"[Saltare Mortuorum]"
I slashed the one who lunched at me first, cutting it into two.
Slash
Then rotated to my right, as I slide my right foot forward, in a circular motion, whole using my left foot as an anchor, and slash the 2nd {Gray Wolf}, horizontally, as it opened its wide maw.
Slash
I then swung my sword in a diagonal strike, towards the 3rd {Gray Wolf}, as I turned myself upfront, by turning myself to the left, as I slid my left foot behind
Slash
I then continuedly swung my sword to the right, as my blade meet the 4th {Gray Wolf}, as it sprinted itself forward with an open maw, cutting its head into two - from the bottom jaw to his upper neck - and meeting his end from my blade.
[Perfect Strike! Mastery +3 for [Sharp Edge], [Holy Brilliance], [Swift Nimble], [Quick Reflexes], [Shadow Dash], and [Saltare Mortuorum]"
I then gaze upfront, glancing at the last, remaining {Wolf}
"[Cleave Haste]"
And dashed myself forward, and cut the remaining one into halves, as I swung my sword from below, with a diagonal slash.
Slash
Thud
[Perfect Strike! Mastery +3 for [Sharp Edge], [Holy Brilliance], [Swift Nimble], [Quick Reflexes], [Shadow Dash], and [Cleave Haste]"
[You have gained 250 exp from hunting down {Gray Wolves}]
Foooo
Tap
Aaaawwooooo~!
After I have placed my [Mythril Knight Sword] back to its scabbard, I then suddenly heard a distant howl, hearing that, I then quickly leave the place without taking those loots out, and simply dash forward.
The distance between me and those dead {Gray Wolves} were roughly 8 meters only, with such distance, I could have escaped away from them easily, even distancing myself away, not until that guy howled in this damn, thick forest. Getting chased by these guys won't be a good call for me, so I rather confront them first, and deal the others later.
Remember, {Wolves} howls are like GPS systems for us Humans, as it could locate the howlers location, and also a rally cry for the other {Wolves}, to call for reinforcement. This is base on the lecture Lucrane told me about, as I never learned this kind of thing, back at my world.
So if I leave these guys alone as I run away, they will chase me down to the end, and that howler will keep telling the other {Wolves} of its pack where am I, and could possibly barracade my way out, completely trapping me in the center.
Though I could use my [Feather Touch], to activate [Weightless], then combine it with [Untouched], which also activates [Invasion], I could only last more than a minute or so away from them. But if the situation doesn't seem to work on my way, other {Wolves} from different pack could target me also, as the 1st floor is packed with a number of {Gray Wolves}, increasing my death toll, which is a bad news, as I could only use this skill 5 times only, and seeing that I am far away from the [Transmission Point], killing them will be a better choice.
...
(Author's POV)
Rustle Rustle Rustle
Loud rustling sound, echoed the thick forest, as silhouettes ran across the field, swaying down the bushes and grasses as they pass
Tap Tap Tap Tap
Speeding himself up upfront, as he tried distancing himself away from the horde that chasing him from behind, Vince keeps pushing forward without looking back.
The chase of a cat and dog continues on, as 8 {Gray Wolves}, irritated and furious, were chasing Vince down, as they ran across the forest.
(Vince POV)
"Tsk! Maybe I should have went east"
I complained. Right after I decided to dash away from that spot, I directly sprinted towards the west side, for a reason that I needed to continue hunting some more before I head back, but unfortunately, it seems I picked the wrong side.
Not that long when I ditched that spot, it seems some of those {Gray Wolves} nearby, already sniffed me out and started chasing me, and there numbers is gradually increasing, which is quite not good.
'Should I head east this time?'
I thought, but considering that this number alone already tracked me down, heading towards any direction will most likely uncertain, as this guys moves in pack, which isn't just a mere number.
"!!"
(Author's POV)
Clang!
Instinctively blocking a sharp fang, that was about to ravish his defenseless neck, Vince Mythril Sword received a heavy blow from a powerful {Gray Wolf} maw, as it suddenly leap from the bushes it hids.
..
[Gray Wolf]
[Name: none]

[Vitality: 41, 100]
"Shit"
Gggrrrrrrrrakkkkk!
He groaned, as he tried holding his ground, as the {Gray Wolf} pushed him back.
"[Quick Reflexes]"
Arfffrafkkkk!
Snap
[Clean Dodge! Mastery +2 for [Quick Reflexes]
Swiftly he moved, as he evades a quick assault on his back, by pushing himself to the side, as he unsummoned his sword, and let the force of the {Gray Wolf} push him.
Bang
The 2 furious {Wolves} then collided upon impact, making the other fell down as the other push it below. Vince then summoned his sword back, as he used his left foot as an anchor, and bended down as he dashed forward with haste, and as he unsheathed his blade
"[Quick Reflexes]"
"[Holy Brilliance]"
"[Swift Nimble]"
"[Cleave Haste]"
And swung his sword from below, cutting the 2 {Gray Wolves} in half with a swift cut.
[Perfect Strike! Mastery +3 for [Quick Reflexes], [Holy Brilliance], [Swift Nimble], and [Cleave Haste]
Not wasting any more time, he then rotated himself to his right
"[Sharp Edge]"
"[Saltare Mortuorum]"
And unleashed 4 consecutive blows, directly at the 5 rushing beasts. A diagonal cut from below, a swift vertical slash to his left, a horizontal strike from above, and a clean cut to his right. Decimating his enemy in a swift strike.
[Perfect Strike! Mastery +3 for [Quick Reflexes], [Holy Brilliance], [Swift Nimble], [Sharp Edge], and [Saltare Mortuorum]
Houoooo~
Taking his breath, he then dashed forward with haste, living alone all the corpse of the dead monsters and there loots.
.....
Slash
[Perfect Strike! Mastery +3 for [Quick Reflexes], [Holy Brilliance], [Swift Nimble], and [Sharp Edge]
After beheading another {Gray Wolf}, he then swiftly rotated himself to the left
"[Saltare Mortuorum]"
And cut 4 more {Gray Wolves} upfront, taking them all down with a clean strike.
[Perfect Strike! Mastery +3 for [Quick Reflexes], [Holy Brilliance], [Swift Nimble], [Sharp Edge], and [Saltare Mortuorum]
Rustle Rustle Rustle
"[Quick Feet]"
[Mastery +1
Rushingly, he then sprinted upfront, trying to distance himself from the horde that is chasing him
Tap Tap Tap Tap Tap
Rustle Rustle Swoosh
Another one then suddenly jumped out from the bush, at his left, bearing his fangs and claws towards him. Noticing it, he then turned to his left, lifting his sword up with both of his hands, cutting the {Wolf} from his head in the process.
[Perfect Strike! Mastery +3 for [Quick Reflexes], [Holy Brilliance], [Swift Nimble], and [Sharp Edge]
He then stomp his right foot to his right, and swung his sword from his left, slicing the 2nd beast that was lunching from his side.
[Perfect Strike! Mastery +3 for [Quick Reflexes], [Holy Brilliance], [Swift Nimble], and [Sharp Edge]
He then looked to his back as he dashed forward, meeting with his eyes were a horde of hungry pack, trailing him from behind.
Aaawwwooooooo~!
Arff!! Arf! Arf!
Bark! Bark! Bark!
"Fuck!"
He cursed, as another bunch of hungry beast tailed him back, following him from behind with a quick footsteps.
Bark! Bark!
2 {Gray Wolves} then stood to his front, blocking his way out. Seeing that, Vince then grip his word's hilt, and dashed forward with haste. The 2 {Gray Wolves} then follow suit, as they rushed towards him.
"[Cleave Haste]"
Using his skill, he then dashed upfront, covering a distance that shorten the gap between him and those {Wolves}. He then swung his sword from below, the cutting the 1st one in half, he then stomp his letter foot forward, as he brought his sword down, slicing the other {Gray Wolf}, beheading with a swift impact.
[Perfect Strike! Mastery +3 for [Quick Reflexes], [Holy Brilliance], [Swift Nimble], and [Sharp Edge]
Aawooooo~!
"Dammit! How the fuck!? What the hell is going on!?"
He screamed in frustration as he dashed forward, as it wasn't that long since he killed those {Gray Wolves}, another bunch already made their way towards him. 5 {Gray Wolves} is tailing him from his left, another 7 at his right, and with another 8 behind him.
"Dammit!"
He cursed in irritation
(Vince POV)
'Twice isn't a coincidence anymore, something is definitely wrong here'
I thought, as how this {Wolves} tracking me down is insane. Beast like them have keen senses with thier smell, noses that could trace even a feint trail, but tracking me this easy is completely nut job. They not only able to catch up to me, some of them were anticipating my visit, as if they knew where am I going. 5 ambushed already, almost succeeded lunching at me
And for some other stupid reason! I can't access to the tower's inventory. The rings I have in hand, especially my [Storage Ring] is empty. All my equipments and weapon was now gone, living me alone with this Mythril Sword, and 5 medium sized healing potion. The [Shōnin no Omamori] bracelet that I owned, one of the few items in hand that could give me a chance in this mess, was also missing.
"Fuck!"
He cursed
(Lucrane's POV)
"..."
As I watched in awe, my head then suddenly started to itch.
Sigh
Sighing as I crossed my arms, I then asked, as I keep my eyes attached to the screen unfront
"What did you do?"
I curiously, and quite irritatedly asked, as I saw in the control room's screen, a massive horde of {Gray Wolves} were chasing Vince. Their numbers were also increasing. And right now, 15 {Gray Wolves} is chasing him down, with 20ths following
"Nothing much, I just ordered some of my men to spread his unused clothes in the 1st floor, letting those {Wolves} take a better look to what prey they should be hunting. Well, in a sense, thank you for that"
Iratus spoke
"Now I am regretting it"
I stated, as I rubbed my forehead between my *brows. It wasn't a lie when I told him that we only have 2 weeks prior of preparing for the upcoming stampede, but it was indeed at lie when I said 'I just noticed it'. 2 days ago, I realized something was amiss right after a 2 weeks of empty exp gain we got from the tower, and a sudden eerie feeling that I just felt.
Prior to my knowledge, such phenomenons doesn't usually, or never been heard before, and seeing such things happening inside my tower, I decided to visit a certain friend of mine, but before I did, I was about to tackle such matter on Vince for such coming crisis, but Iratus stopped me and proposed something else, which is now I am regretting.
Iratus proposed to let him grind some level, and some prior experience of being 'ganked', which in a sense was indeed logical, and practical, but little did I know, that after I gave him the 2 unused clothes of Vince, right after I stole his rings while he slept and replaced them, this would happen.
I also blocked his access to the tower's inventory, for a reason that he needed this for the upcoming battle.
Sigh
"I hope that is merely for his training, and nothing more"
"..... Might be, but at least he will improve from this"
Iratus replied, and I could imagine him grinning from it.
"I hope"
I spoke, sighing in an awestruck development I am witnessing.
(Author's POV)
Sniff Sniff Sniff
Gggrrrrrrr
Sniffing on the ground, 14 of {Gray Wolves} of the same pack, tried to trail their prey's track.
Arf! Arf! Arf! Arf!
One of the {Gray Wolves} then barked, telling his companions that he sniffed something in his direction, indicating a trail of thier lost prey.
Aawoooo~!
One of the {Wolves} then holwed in a high tone, signaling the others of their finding, telling them about the mark they found.
Rustle Rustle Rustle Rustle
All of them then runs in haste, tracking thier lost prey.
"....."
Blob Blob Blob Blob Splash
Puuuwaahhhh!
"Cough Cough Cough! Haah... Hah.. Haah... Hahhh"
Noticing that they already left, and took some distance from him, Vince then rose above the medium sized pond he hids, and cough the water he have intake, and roughly breath in both relief, and fatigue.
He then slowly got himself up, after he have observed the surrounding area, to make sure if the coast is clear. He then slowly got himself up, as he gritted his teeth.
Kuhh!
Cough Cough Cough
"Haah.... Hah... Haahh.... Haah"
He then slowly, with a rough breath, covered his injuiried left side, as 2 of those aggressive {Gray Wolves} were able to wound him, inflicting a fist size bruise, with deep cuts, and mark bites.
Cough Cough
"Fuck"
In a low, cursing words, with his beaten body, Vince spoke. Turning his head to both side, listening to the silence of the forest as he observed the surrounding area, he then forcibly got himself up, and moved away from the chasing beasts.
...
Dragging his injured, and tired body, wasn't a easy feat to do, especially in this thick forest, where those mad beast roams with their strong sense of smell, but thankfully for that pond, the scent of his blood was covered, for now, making his escape to be silent.
"Haah.... Hah..... Haahh...."
Fatigue is catching up to him, much faster than him finding his way out. Staggering his way through the forest wasn't fruitful as it seems, as there wasn't any place for him to hid and rest
Feeling his feet giving up, he then lean himself to a tree nearby, slowly sitting down as he faced upfront, closely observing his surrounding area.
He then summoned a potion from his [Storage Ring], and gulp it down, slowing healing his injuries in the process.
Gulp Puahh~!
Hooo~
"Haaah..... Hah.... Hahh..... Haah"
Feeling relief, he then slowly took his breathing back, as he calmed his nerves and joints. Closing his eyes for a moment, he then slowly swayed his neck in rotation, and completely laying still right after, letting his tired body to rest, as healing potion only heal injuries from the body, not their fatigue.
After resting for a couple of minutes, he then got himself up, and started walking back again, trying to find his way out from this tower, and call it off for today, until
Aawoooo~!
"!!"
A loud howl echoed the forest
"Shit! Already!?"
He complained, before he dashed himself after, distancing himself from those beast.
(Lucrane's POV)
"{Wolves} aren't much proficient in scent tracking, unlike some trained {Dogs}. They could only Sniff you out in a relatively small area, but when you are injured, that would be a different story. Though soaking yourself deep in a water basin could hide your scent, with an exception for those canines that are trained for sniffing underwater, but it does not mean that your scent was already covered, as by the time you left that pond, they could track you back again. Wet prey or dry one, it doesn't matter, as those beast will find their way on you"
Iratus spoke, as he smugly watch how those {Gray Wolves} tracked Vince back.
"You knew them, better than I"
"Of course I do, being Biologists means me closely observing every move, from a simple gesture to even a yawn, to any animals we encounter. Reading their hobbits, their culture, their habitats, their life cycle, their eating habits, and sometimes even how they mate"
".... That's... amazing, in a different way"
"That is a compliment"
He responded.
"....."
"...."
Feeling awkward in this situation, I then asked just to lift this veil of silence
"Does being in the field of, Beu-lo-gia, only observe a beast life rotation?"
"It's pronounced 'bio' not 'be-u', and 'gy' not 'gia'. And the answer is no, as Biology is divided to 25 fields, or branches, and Zoology is one of those fields. There is a field of Biology where we study plants, another one is on microorganisms, and another is on human"
"I see"
(Vince's POV)
Slash
[Perfect Strike! Mastery +3 for [Quick Reflexes], [Holy Brilliance], [Swift Nimble], [Sharp Edge], and [Saltare Mortuorum]
After I beheaded another {Gray Wolf}, which is the 15th one, counting right after I got myself rested for a bit, I then sprinted forward with haste, as some this relentless fuckers doesn't give up.
"I indeed wish to be popular once, but not this fcking popular!"
I irritatedly complained.
Swish Swangch
Gaahh!
I yelled, as a sudden loose arrow pierced my left shoulder, while I was preoccupied by those chasing {Gray Wolves}. Looking upfront without stopping my track, I then saw 2 silhouettes rushing towards me, just a distance from mine, and another at the tree, concealing itself with those lavished bundles of leaves.

'Goblins?'
I dumbfoundedly asked, as a trio of {Goblins} are here, joining this merry mess, not that it's surprising, but within a horde of {Gray Wolves} around the corner? Definitely
"Something is really up, and I could only guess a certain bastard!"
He then bended as he yelled
Swoosh
(Author's POV)
"[Shadow Dash]"
"[Swift Nimble]"
"[Holy Brilliance]"
Shyop (the sound of his foot as he propelled himself)
Dashing upfront with great speed, he then unsheathed his blade that he summoned, and holding it griply at his right.
Kraaa!
Nraaaa!
The 2 {Goblins} then roared as they confront him, holding by their side was a Wooden Shield, and a Wooden Sword. The {Goblin Archer} then calmly positioned itself, as it pointed its bow towards Vince.
Swoosh
And released its arrow. Vince then bend his head down, avoiding the loosen arrow tips
[Mastery +1]
He then propelled himself forward right after, making the distance between him and those monsters shorten
"[Quick Feet]"
Kraaa!
Nraaaa!
And appearing before them in an instant. The 2 then roared as they carried their blade above thier head, and lifted their shield up, protecting their upper body. Vince then
"[Spiral Blade]"
Rotated himself as he swung his sword in a circular motion
Swoosh
Slash! Snap
Cutting the 2 {Goblins} by their heads, and snapping the loosen arrow that was fired at him.
[Perfect Strike! Mastery +3 for [Quick Reflexes], [Quick Feet], [Holy Brilliance], [Swift Nimble], and [Spiral Blade]
He then pushed himself to the side
"[Quick Feet]"
And sprinted towards the {Goblin Archer}. He then leap to ***where the {Goblin Archer} is, and landed just in front of him. Shocked by the his sudden appearance, the {Goblin} could only stumped to his spot
"[Cleave Haste]"
[Perfect Strike! Mastery +3 for [Quick Reflexes], [Quick Feet], [Holy Brilliance], [Swift Nimble], and [Cleave Haste]
And was cut by half by Vince blade, in a swift motion, and in the process, distance himself from those hungry {Gray Wolves}. He then jump down and continue running away from the tailing beast
(Lucrane's POV)
"Now what trick did you use this time?"
I asked
"For those {Goblins}?"
"Who else? {Goblins} are certainly weak monsters, yes, but they are cowards, they know when to run and when to fight. They are cunning by any means, as long it ensure their survival and prosperity, so them attacking him while being surrounded, in every corner, with {Gray Wolves}, isn't a hobbit a {Goblins} have"
I stated
"{Goblins} has a highly developed sense of smell, more or less potent as a {Wolf}, it isn't just used that overall, as they more dependent to their pointed ears, and round shitty eyes than those disgusting nose of theirs. But if you make them eat some ***[Henbane], which make them go wild, then they could easily throw away those sense of reason they have and act like a monster they were, they even attacked some of my men in the process, which was difficult to control as we wanted them alive. After we took it under control, we then let them savor the scent of those clothes you gave me, making them go haywire to him in the process. I also tasked those {Gray Wolves} to not harm those {Goblins}, and don't stay close to them, when he isn't there, as their attention might shift"

This plant can be found anywhere, outside of the our tower, and one of the essense ingredients when making potions and the likes. It is mostly used for those fighters who are in a tight spot during battles, or some maniacs who likes to savor the feeling of rage.
'Though they will be in both in their weakest, and strongest state, this trick does do its job'
"Where did you find this anyway?"
I asked, as I don't clearly remember seeing one of this
"They are scattered around in the 2nd floor, deeper in those forest. We didn't found them during our visit as we merely explored places we can venture, and didn't further survey the other area. Without my men finding this around those area, I wouldn't even know they grow here too"
"I see"
I replied, as we didn't really further survey the 2nd floor, and 3rd floor during our visit, so finding sonething like this in those areas seems shocking yet expected.
"Is there anything else?"
"We have found more in the 2nd floor, including the 3rd and 1st floor also"
"1st floor?"
Quite shocked as I asked
"By the time it further expanded as we reached Level 4 of the tower, some plants seems to grow in accordance with such expansion, so we found some new growing plant around the area. I will bring those here afterwards"
"Much appreciated"
(Author's POV)
Bending down as he dodge, barely, another loosen arrow from his back, he then swing his sword from below, and slash another {Gray Wolf} from its left leg to its neck.
[Perfect Strike! Mastery +3 for [Quick Reflexes], [Holy Brilliance], [Swift Nimble], and [Sharp Edge]
"[Quick Feet]"
He then sprinted forward, closing the distance between him and 2 {Goblins} upfront.
"[Spiral Blade]"
He then twisted himself to the left, and beheaded the 3 monsters in front.
[Perfect Strike! Mastery +3 for [Quick Reflexes], [Holy Brilliance], [Swift Nimble], [Sharp Edge], and [Spiral Blade]
He tbe dashed forward, leaving no time for those hungry beast to catch up to him.
Bark! Bark! Bark!
Arf! Arf! Arf! Arf!
"Fuck! This doesn't end!"
He cursed as he ran upfront.
Rustle Rustle Rustle
Tap Tap Tap Tao Tap
Ggrrrrrrr~!
Krrckkkkk!
4 {Gray Wolves} then tailed him in each side, with their bared fangs out, they then shorten the distance between them and Vince, while trapping him inside.
Vince then, without anymore option to take, suddenly halting himself before he dashed to his right, making the 4 {Gray Wolves} lose their chances. The 4 {Wolves} then hurriedly stopped their track using their sharpened claws, and chase back their slipped prey.
(Lucrane's POV)
"For them to catch up to him without using [Shadow Dash] was an impressive feat"
I applaudingly spoke
"In terms of speed, a {Wolf} could easily outrun any athletic man in any given manner, especially if it's a hungry, and furious {Wolf}. But truth to be told, I didn't even allowed them to use it, as they could easily kill him in a second"
"And he still outrun you that time"
"He was quite lucky that he has that bracelet on him, during the first time of our meeting, if not... you could already guess what should have happened to him"
"And you could have guess what will happen to your pack, right after that"
"..."
(Iratus's POV)
'What a crazy bitch'
In my thought I spoke, as I shiver on the instance, as I tried imagining the fate we might experience in her hands, if she gone mad
(Author's POV)
"Hahhh.... Hah..... Haaah..... Shit!"
In a rough breath he swore, as he further hasten his movements, trying to widen the gap between him and his chaser.
Aawoooo~!
Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark!
Arck arf! Arf! Arf!
"Fuck!"
His been running around for almost a hour, no break for any rest in any turns. Dodging one arrow to another, avoiding one fang from the rest, and killing one beast to another. He even tried lessening the time when he needed to kill any of them, to not slow himself up, and even avoiding some of them, as it will hinder him vulnerable in such time.
"Haaah.... Hah..... Haaah... Hahh"
He already drunk most of his potion, leaving him with 1 more bottle, and any more injuries in this given situation, will be a . His body almost reaching his limit, his movements is slowly decreasing, and any moment, and any time, his body will reached its extent. A time, when he shall face his demise
"Dammit!"
He yelled in frustration as he directly halted himself, before he turned, and face upfront. And as he gritted his teeth, he then rushed forward. Holding his word's hilt with a tight grip, he faced his enemy head on.
Aawoooooo~!
(Lucrane's POV)
"His being reckless"
I irritatedly stated, as I saw him, running towards those {Gray Wolves}.
Sigh
Sighing to his impulsive action, I then turn my back from the screen and walked out
"Heading somewhere?"
"That idiot will be dead, so I need to fetch that lunatic up, before he get himself ravish by those {Wolves}"
I spoke in frustration as I went outside of the control room
"Are you going there?"
"No, who does he think he is that I needed to visit his shit up there? I just need to teleport him here and be done with it"
"..... Suit yourself"
"Then shut up"
(Iratus's POV)
She irritatedly replied, which caused me to be shocked and silent, and didn't further spoke
'..... Rest in peace dude'
And could only give my good luck to him
(Lucrane's POV)
As I step outside of the tower's control room, I then stood outside and swayed my hand from my left to my center, a white rectangular screen then appeared before me

After I clicked yes, a [Teleportation Array] then shone in front me
(On the other side)
"[Quick Feet]"
As he dashed forward, disregarding his chances of escape, Vince took of his sword with a tight grip, and swung his blade in a diagonal motion
"!?!"
Until a white array suddenly appeared below him, engulfing him around with a shimmering glow. Shocked to the unexpected event, stunned for a moment, he then gaze forward and smirk to the monsters in front of him
Grrrrrr!
"I got plot armor, bitch!"
Aarrckkarf! Arf! Arf!
Swoosh
And teleported him out from his almost demise. And as he appeared before Lucrane, she then moved a bit to her right, and bend his upper body slightly to the right
Slash
And dodge the swing of Vince's blade, with a frustrated look. Seeing her reaction, and her standing in front him, while dodging his strike, was mixed with astound and fear.
Lucrane then, after dodging his strike, stretch her left hand and grab hold of his head, twisted her body to left, and forcefully brought his head down to the ground
Bang!
Slamming his face first, on the hardened soil
"..."
Seeing her slamming Vince down to the ground with a brute force, showing no mercy with her action, gives chills down to Iratus's spine.
Gulp
Gulping his saliva down, he then looked above, and close his eyes, trying reminisce to a certain memory
'Oppa~!'
"Please don't be like her"
And deeply wishes in silence

*The glabella, in humans, is the area of skin between the eyebrows and above the nose.
**The distance between them was short. The 2 Goblin was 5 meters, which is shortened, as they rushed towards him, and 7 meters for Archer, hiding at the tree. Using quick feet to dash 5 meters, he then leap using his speed momentum.
***Henbane (Hyoscyamus niger, also black henbane and stinking nightshade) is a poisonous plant in the nightshade family Solanaceae. Henbane is native to temperate Europe and Siberia, and naturalised in Great Britain and Ireland.
The name henbane dates from AD 1265; "hen" meant death. Other etymologies of henbane derive from the Indo-European stem bhelena meaning "crazy plant" and with the Proto-Germanic element bil meaning "vision", "hallucination", "magical power", and "miraculous ability".
Historically, henbane was used in combination with other plants, such as the mandrake, the deadly nightshade, and the datura, as an anaesthetic potion, and for its psychoactive properties in "magic brews". These psychoactive properties include visual hallucinations and a sensation of flight. It was originally used in continental Europe, Asia, and the Arab world, though it did spread to England in the Middle Ages. The use of henbane by the ancient Greeks was documented by Pliny, who said it was "of the nature of wine and therefore offensive to the understanding", and by Dioscorides, who recommended it as a sedative and analgesic.
Henbane seeds have been found in a Viking grave near Fyrkat, Denmark, that was first described in 1977. This and other archaeological finds show that H. niger was known to the Vikings. Analysis of the symptoms caused by intoxication of this plant suggest that it may have been used by berserkers to induce the rage state that they used in war.
