Chapter 24: Butting In! (1/2)
Colt steadily decimated any isolated wolves that he could find. As he got used to how the wolves could react, he eventually reached the point where it became rare that they managed to injure him. He had used Minor Blessing on himself at one point and had only received two points of damage since then. Colt delivered the final blow to the battered Divine Wolf Pup (Runt) in front of him.

Colt grinned at the notification as he collected the Wolf Fang drop as the Wolf Fur disappeared yet again. So far, he had collected six Wolf Fangs, including this one. The drops were not guaranteed, and two wolves had not dropped anything at all.
Colt opened the interface to look at his stat allocations. Without any hesitation, he sunk his free point into Strength. Colt suddenly felt as if his body had become stronger, but he knew that it was just how the game was programmed to be.
'Do I keep grinding? Or should I head back to Valheim?' Colt was growing concerned because he had noticed that neither his HP nor DP regenerated over time, even here in the Divine Realm. That was bound to become a problem later on, so he hoped that the city had to be hiding a method to recover.
Finding that method as soon as possible would be important. However, Valheim was ridiculously large, and it would take him too long to find it on his own. 'Forget it.' Colt sighed as he glanced around. 'It would be a shame to waste my head start looking for something that might not exist.'
Just as he was eyeing up the wolf packs to find his next victim, he heard the sound of voices. Colt grinned because he knew what this meant due to the distinct lack of NPC's. 'Players!'
Colt decided to take a break from his solo hunt and check out how these other players were doing. From the sound of their voices, they were just over one of the nearby hills.
Colt jogged over while carefully avoiding the aggro range of any packs that were in his way. Once the new players came into view, Colt's jaw went slack in shock.
Five players were fighting it out against each other while defending against two different wolf packs. Colt took a moment to watch the fight and try to understand what was going on. These players should have arrived just recently, so how did they manage to get into a fight already?
”Beans! Behind you!” The player called DonnaThaGreat shouted as she blocked a punch aimed for her face!
BeansNtoasT spun on her heel to deliver a kick to the side of a wolf's jaw as it pounced at her. The situation on the hill slope was chaotic. Nine wolves were remaining while a group of three ganged up on a party of two.
