"Well, it wasn't just for the buff, I just wanted soood soup, but there wasn't any" She said with a saddened expression

"Well, if you want good food, I'ested, soroup acquired a chef, they would be able to get high level food buffs without having to spend a ton of ardless, thisof spices "A pinch of this in the wolf's nose and it'll hurt"

"What about this then?" Typhoeus picked up the flask of black liquid that Merlin found at the Redmond mansion "Is it a potion or soet it inspected before I can tell you for certain, but based on where I got it and it's appearance I'd have to say that it's most likely infected blood" Merlin explained "So I wouldn't reco to ask why you just decided to pocket a vial of blood" Typhoeus gently placed the flask back on the ground while staring at Merlin

"Itthe vial up and throwing it back into his inventory "Chances are it's a er version of my rose poison, so I don't want to waste it on a level ten boss I et it appraised in the future"

"Our best bet would be to separate the nine basic wolves from the other three and kill them off first" Merlin explained, "So if we can abuse this narrow opening so we don't get swar at the rest of the ite around, Merlin picked up the two vials of oil and the shoddy net "If we soak the net with lantern oil, we can use it to trap the boss for a few e"

"The net is done, what are we doing now?" Typhoeus spoke up without any care for the atot a plan for the boss, what about the two extras"

"I'll take one, but I cant fight off both of those, not even if you poisoned the what she said after killing the first level seven dire wolf they saw

"I think it'd be best if we poisoned theive us enough of an edge to finish theested, "Then we'll all deal with the boss after everything else is dead"

"If we start getting destroyed, we've always got the option of escaping, so lets just give it a shot" Merlin said, "Now coet your weapons coated"

Merlin cut his hand on his gladius and began coating the edge, and after repeating the same process for the rapier and the scythe, he decided to spill soroup waited a fewthis ti the three torches out The group startedtheir way over to the narrow entrance once ht, just in case the battle dragged out and they were left in darkness again
