Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Twilight Wolves.

They are classified as grade 8 threats. A single individual capable of inflicting fatal damage on multiple humans. H

However, when they are in a pack, their danger level surpasses grade 7 threats or higher.

They are about 1.3 times the size of regular wolves and might appear to resemble gray tigers from a distance. Their tough skin makes them hard to cut through with blades, and their ashen fur provides resistance to magic.

We should use blunt weapons to attack as much as possible! Can you do it, Yurran?

As Everidge from the Reconnaissance Department suggested, it is recommended to use blunt weapons when facing the Twilight Wolves. Blades and magic are not very effective against them, making them challenging opponents.

Theres a reason I emphasized tanking and melee DPS in all the classes.

Given the context, it was highly likely that the Twilight Wolves were the target of this combat exercise.

Its a bit tough for me. Im not a practitioner of blunt weapons.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Yurran shook his head.

What should we do then? Even though Ian is watching out as a tank, but hes still a mage.

Everidges expression worsened.

Just as Ian was about to speak, Danya stepped in.

Dont worry. Ian caught a crazy rabbit the other day! Ian is more capable than you think!

It was nice to hear her say that, but why are you so confident? Ian smiled and cleared his throat.

Danya is right. I can handle them to a certain extent. However, it will be tough if they swarm me. We need to engage in long-range attacks and hold them off as much as possible. Danya, this is your responsibility.

Yes! Got it!

Danya quickly took her position and got her magic bow ready.

Ian nodded and continued.

However, I cant take care of all the creatures. Everidge, use your most powerful crossbow to take out a few of them.

Scouts also played the role of ranged physical damage dealers during battles. Everidge typically used a crossbow, but it was clear that he also had a more powerful crossbow for higher physical damage.

But it takes time to reload, and its difficult to aim

Ill immobilize the enemies whenever I get the chance.

All right.

Finally, the priest with a mischievous smile.

Yurran.

Yes, Ian.

The nature of the Twilight Wolves is evil. They are known to be averse to divine power. Try to disrupt their attack patterns as much as possible.

Unlike the other team members who were immediately convinced, he just smirked.

Hahaha. Im curious why you know so much about these wolves, Ian.

Didnt you read the Monsterology textbook? Its a mandatory course for the Reconnaissance Department.

Ian knew that Yurran was watching him. Pongpong was undoubtedly one of the goals of the Bloodstone cult, so he had prepared this kind of explanation in advance.

The corners of Yurrans mouth quirked upward in humility.

Ah, I see.

Moreover, there was no need for an explanation because it was true.

He knew the general strategy for dealing with the Twilight Wolves, but he had learned the specific information through books. It was a bit strange that Ian, who visited the library and delved into the major books of other departments whenever he had free time, knew so much.

Yurran lowered his head, as if giving up on trying to understand Ians true madness.

Ill do my best.

Good. Lets start with Danyas opening move before they can form a formation.

Danya lifted one leg and extended it forward, pulling the bowstring taut. With a soft exhale, a bright arrow was released.

Krrrng!

The red eyes of the Twilight Wolves quickly focused on the target.

Ian took a deep breath.

Breathing was a process of communication with everything outside the body.

Mana from the earth, soil, rocks, and even the Lunar on his back, was no exception.

Sensing minerals and extracting them, covering the body, it all felt incredibly natural.

The result of continuous training.

Once you experience this flow like water, you cant stop the training.

But it didnt end there.

Lets draw it out.

In the case of [Transformation], the closer it is to the body, the easier it is to manipulate metal. Conversely, the farther it is from the body, the more difficult it becomes.

Its like the feeling of my fist expanding.

The Lunar, which had surrounded his fist, transformed.

It used to simply envelop the body, but now it was different.

From the fist, several protrusions emerged in an orderly fashion, like a gauntlet.

His recent transformation was remarkable, but even when a person changes, there are limits.

Just

Why is the Blood Witch so interested in him?

Puheung!

One Twilight Wolf had its jawbone dislocated.

Kkaeaeeeeng!

A Twilight Wolf pierced by a crossbow bolt, immobilized in the mud rising from the ground.

Paaaak!

The other wolf immobilized in the mud by Ians bizarre metallic-headed headbutt, and another wolf with its eyes pierced by Danyas arrow, left Yurran wondering.

What kind of blood flows in him?

Gulp.

Yurran swallowed his saliva without realizing it.

You cant steal the Blood Witchs food.

She told them to bring it whole.

However, the missions importance was not particularly emphasized.

After all, Ian was a secondary objective.

But I had high hopes for today.

Originally, at this point, the two members of the party were supposed to die, and Ian, burdened with guilt, was going to be brainwashed.

But that method wont work on him.

Tsk.

Yurran surreptitiously licked his lips.

The secondary goal could be given up for now.

The main goal had been achieved to some extent.

He had exposed the holes in the academys security system, and there was still the highlight to look forward to.

The battle came to an end.

Yurran put on his mask again.

Great job, everyone. Youre all amazing, arent you? Ahahahaha!

As he imagined the future events, he couldnt help but feel good.

So, the question was, whom should they spare?

Ieuuuuh

Ian, catching his breath, would be spared. They would need to uncover his secrets eventually.

Yurran! It was dangerous earlier!

Ahahaha, I apologize My divine power got tangled for a moment.

It cant be helped now, but lets be more careful next time. Ian was in danger.

The purring cat seemed to trust Ian quite a bit. She might come in handy someday.

I really cant believe it. We defeated those Twilight Wolves.

As for Everidge well, if this guy died, there would be a chance the team would disband, so lets just keep him alive for now to maintain the status quo.

Ahahah!

Yurran laughed artificially, and his lips turned up cheerfully.

Would you all come over here for a moment?

What is it?

Come quickly.

Listen to me, you guys.

Im bestowing mercy on you right now.

Ian approached Yurran, somewhat expectantly.

Kwaaaaaaaang!

With a tremendous shock, the dungeon passage vanished.

The place where they had just been resting disappeared without a trace.

The ceiling was torn open to reveal the sky, an unusual sight within the dungeon.

Oh my.

Yurran raised his head.

Well, youre all really lucky. Hahahaha!

His teeth, bathed in the light, gleamed a vivid crimson.
