Charlus heard a distinct howl. It wasn't like the howls before. This felt more powerful. The howl struck Charlus. Charlus turned in the direction of the howl and saw a huge wolf that was perhaps double the size of the other wolves appear.

Charlus got ready to fight. He was worried though if there were going to be any other wolves. If this was the alpha wolf, then it would obviously have a wolf pack. Charlus was worried that the pack would be a little harder to clear. But if they were still a couple of levels below him, he definitely wouldn't have a problem.

Charlus saw that the wolf did not try to attack him. It stayed back and simply howled. Charlus smelt something fishy immediately. He got ready for something out of the ordinary like a sneak attack.

Charlus heard a growling behind him. Charlus looked back and saw a few wolves coming from the back. He turned back to see what the bigger wolf was doing. The wolf still hadn't moved from its spot but Charlus was able to see two dozen wolves accompanying the wolf. Charlus sighed. He needed to know if this was the alpha wolf.

[Demonic Wolf(Boss) (Alpha) Tier 3 Lvl 199]

Charlus saw the Alpha title to the wolf and smiled. He would be able to clear these wolves pretty easily. Charlus' only problem from the beginning was that he would have to search specifically for the Alpha wolf. Now, this wolf had saved him the trouble.

Charlus rushed towards the alpha wolf quickly. He didn't want to let it escape. It would be a hassle to search for it. Charlus was unsure of how big the dungeon was and didn't want to be the one finding out.

Charlus swung his scythe in a hurry at the wolf. The wolf dodged the scythe. It was confused at how unafraid the human approaching it was but still saw the human as prey. It dodged the scythe that was coming back and clawed at Charlus.

Charlus felt his chest burning. He looked down and saw his equipment had been shredded. Charlus saw blood seeping out from the new wound. He saw a wound carved out by three claws.

Charlus felt the pain but didn't get too distracted by it. Rather he felt more real. He felt the air blow against the wound and he felt more excited than he had ever felt. Charlus swung his scythe again at the wolf and it dodged him again.

Charlus was unsure of how to proceed. He was now sure that the wolf was very fast and strong. Charlus' only move would be to use his AOE skill and wait for the countdown to slowly decrease.

[Death Field]

Charlus saw the wolf feel the Death Field. He saw it falter for a second. Charlus took this opportunity to attack the wolf. He didn't want to give it a chance to recover. Charlus was sure that if he did, he would have to wait another 3 hours for the countdown to go down.

Charlus pressed the wolf, chasing it and continuously attacking it before it was able to regain its composure. The wolf, while intelligent, was unable to get back from the effects of the Death Field.

The death field functioned quite like the Scythe Charlus used. It damaged the soul. All of Charlus' attacks damaged the soul. With the first hit, some of the soul of the opponent would be wiped from existence. This meant the core of their being itself was damaged. Their entire power would go down. Hence, Charlus was one of the deadliest persons to fight when it is a battle of attrition.

While the opponent would at most wound Charlus a little, Charlus would be able to recover from it. But the damage Charlus did would not only be irreparable but also a deciding factor for victory. The fighting ability of the opponent would fall drastically and this would, in turn, make it easier for Charlus to wound his opponents again. As long as Charlus was strong enough to land the first blow, it would mean that he would eventually be able to defeat his enemy.

Charlus finally killed the wolf after a long battle. Charlus had another smaller wound below the previous wound that the wolf was able to give in a moment of final desperation.

Charlus sat down after defeating the alpha wolf. He still had to kill more wolves to finish the dungeon but he wanted to rest a bit. This, while not the most frightening moment to him, was the most exhilarating fight he had.
