Seeing their abilities, he had to be wary to from the ones in front, so he had one choice, separate them then take them out one of the time.

About the five large bat creatures started flying towards him, he grabbed Hilda and made his stance ordering Dusk to silently constrain them, so he can handle his first fight.

Dusk charged at the group and transformed into a cloud, capturing the three in front missing one since he was able to capture three then its fine. The two then collided with Stigma causing him to lose his footing, he cushioned the fall for the baby wolf so it won' get injured.

After landing he finally saw how they looked, each had a disgusting deformed face with red eyes, they were large enough to be the size of doberman, they growled at him with hunger. Three were struggling from the distance, he had to take focus with the two before him.

Before he could do anything, the baby wolf charged towards the one in the left, so he had to take out the one in the right.

He had no time to look after the baby wolf, so he had to finish his fight then help him.

He charged towards the bat, using the skill 'Intimidation' and 'Howling' he was able to lower its stats and increase his stats. Having used a wolf skill the bat was surprised, but only for a second.

The bat swiped at him using its sharp claws at him, screeching at him at the same time, about three more attacks came, but Stigma using Hilda to was blocking.

Each of the attacks were weak, but the range was what concerned him, it had long arms so using Hilda who was wide was not the perfect weapons, so sheathed her back and switched using his knives.

Swinging the knives for a while to have a proper feel, tightening his grip he charged towards it as it swiped, as he did so he dodged to the left and using his buff of 'Intimidation' and 'Howling' to and slashed at him.

With the wound, it screeched in pain as it grabbed on to its back glaring at him, but he didn't stop, if he stopped due to fear, then a moments of hesitation will end him.

After his fight with the wolf leader he had reviewed his fight while asking Hilda's opinion, her observation concluded that he was able to survive due to the delay of each attack.

She explained that not all fights will have the same situations, veterans will take the chance to attack him if he waited for their reactions, they would mix their attacks with feints so he had to practice in telling actual attacks and lie about their advantages.

Going back to his fight he continued to stab and slash at the unguarded back of the bat ignoring it's cry of pain, out of its last attempted to use it's body as a battering ram only to miss and gain another combination of 'Intimidation' and 'Howling' to be finished of by having its neck severed, and losing its life afterwards.

Now that his fight was over, he started looking for the baby wolf only to find it covered in blood and waging its tail towards him, waiting for it to be praised.

Looking at the corpse closely the were multiple tear marks on his body and it's throat, the finding in his investigation.

The little guy was strong after all.

”To think this happened to them, what the hell did they offend.”

Wade was standing in front of the cave where Stigma was residing, it took him a while to find the place since it was the last place, Red Rock Valley.

He was told that this place was dangerous due to it's unstable footing, but seeing the marks on the ground and wall and confirmed that there were traces of blood in the forest. Before he found a hole with a crude spikes made by a nearby tree, looking around he found a piece of flesh and a puddle of blood.

He followed the trail and found a buried cave, after excavating he found out that there was something buried inside and smelled some alcohol in the air, and looking around he found scorch marks on the floor, but he also found claw marks to the tree towards the direction.

Going through the clues, he guessed that Gus and Frank were resting here but somehow they had offended someone with a powerful beast.

The reason he assumed it was a person was due to finding holes in the cave normally a beast would kill the people eat the corpses and leave, but the corpses were mauled by a beast by he found their meat buried instead of eaten, their belongings were also taken.

The food the had was gone along with the sac, their gold were also taken which also included the medallion he was told to look for.

”Fuck, I cant find anything here. Guess I no choice.”

Flipping his hand, he grabbed a orb made of a green gem, it was the large enough to for him to grasp completely, but instead of being fascinated he had a look of indifference.

Using the orb would mean he had accepted his defeat, with him adding a deadline he was out of options so he had to make up for lost time.

Pouring his Zen energy he activated the orb and what showed was a light flicking from a direction, facing towards the light it changed position to were he stood.

”That way huh, guess I wasted my time in the investigation. Shit.”

He cursed then ran at full speed, towards Stigma's location.
