Footsteps echoed slowly but clearly from within the darkness.
Whatever was coming, it wasn't something that should belong to the tutorial...
Something whose very presence could scare away even the corrupted foxes...
Since I came here, this is the first time I've felt like this...
My heart starts beating differently...
From within the darkness, the wolf leapt forward.
Kaelion: What is that? It's almost twice the size of the other foxes, and along with its long, sharp fangs, those claws look razor-sharp...
[Wolf (Corrupted) LV 3]
Wolf: ROAR!!!
Kaelion: Looks like this world doesn't want me to survive...
(focuses and grips his sword with both hands)
Come on then!
Wolf: Roar!!! (battle cry)
System Message: The roar of the Corrupted Wolf has reduced all your stats by 10%...
Kaelion: Agh... (covers his ears) I can't lose focus!
(He grips his sword tighter.) Come!
The wolf lunged forward and slashed at the sword with its claws.
The blade took heavy damage from the impact.
Kaelion: If I want to defeat this creature, I'll have to use what's around me...
(He spots the corpses of the foxes nearby.)
Kaelion: Come on then! (runs toward a fox corpse)
As he turned his back, the wolf began to charge.
Kaelion: Just as I planned!
He stepped on the fox corpse, flipped backward, and landed on top of the wolf.
Gripping the sword with both hands, he drove it into the back of the wolf's neck!
Wolf: ROAR!!!
System Message: The Corrupted Wolf let out a Death Cry, all your stats have been reduced by 30%...
Kaelion: Damn it... its hide is tougher than I thought, and my sword's current condition...
The wolf threw Kaelion off its back and slashed him midair.
[-150 HP]
Kaelion: Agh! I never underestimated it...
Even though it looked down on me, we're almost evenly matched...
(He grabs his fallen sword from the ground.)
Kaelion: Looks like you won't be underestimating me anymore...
System Message: You have 50 HP remaining.
This will be the final clash, one of us dies here!
