Walking towards the Wolf King, Soo Hyuk checked his surroundings for any other stray wolves that could interfere with his fight. It would make the fight unnecessarily harder if ordinary wolves also got involved.
Soo Hyuk thought as he stopped at a suitable distance from the wolves. All his spells made a loud noise when they exploded. No matter how far away the Wolf King was, it was certain to hear at least one explosion.
Soo Hyuk wouldn’t be able to fight the Wolf King while his skills were on cooldown. He then rapidly cast all of his skills one after another, targeting the wolves.
He couldn’t see the Wolf King anymore. It seemed to have gone back to its original spot. However, he could still see the other two wolves resting beneath a tree.
He didn’t need Firebolt to take care of the remaining wolves, as there were only two wolves left. Jumping out from behind the tree he was hiding behind, Soo Hyuk fired the spells he had prepared at the clueless wolves.
Explosions sounded out once again in the forest as his spells landed on the 2 resting wolves. Soo Hyuk hastily collected the drop items and quickly retreated again.
The Wolf King ran to investigate the explosions, his footsteps booming equally as loud. Then after a few seconds of looking around , it returned to its original position again. Soo Hyuk waited calmly for his cooldowns to reset. Of course, he wasn’t just resting, he was also checking for more wolves.
Apart from the 5 wolves he killed, Soo Hyuk couldn’t see any more wolves in the vicinity. There could be more behind the Wolf King, but there were currently none around him.
After he looked around once more, he slowly approached the Wolf King. His cooldowns had ended, and seeing there were no other wolves, it was his only target.
Soo Hyuk frowned. Although he couldn’t see the Wolf King because of all the dust, no kill message nor a drop message had appeared. That meant that it wasn’t dead yet.
His decision to retreat earlier in the morning when he first encountered the Wolf King was the right decision. Soo Hyuk started to move away from the dust clouds, but he stopped not long after.
The stun time wasn’t fixed, much like the damage. The species of monster, its defence and the level of the caster were all factors that affected the duration of a stun. If you were too weak, then the monster could straight up ignore the stun, but Soo Hyuk possessed an outrageous amount of wisdom, which meant that the wolf wouldn’t be able to emerge unscathed.
Soo Hyuk hurriedly turned tail and ran from the Wolf King while preparing a health potion just in case. Then he checked the cooldown for Magic Missile.
Magic Missile still had 5 seconds left until he could use it again, but the Wolf King didn’t wait for it to recharge and arrived right behind him in just 2 seconds.
Soo Hyuk’s wisdom had only risen so high through levelling and reading countless books. All of his bonus stat points went to stamina, which was the stat that had the biggest effect on his healthpool. As a result, he had way more health than other magicians of the same level.
Plus, even if the Wolf King was a boss monster, it was the boss of a beginner area. Granted, it would be much stronger than a regular monster, but it would be too powerful if one casual swipe could deal 3000 damage.
The claws struck his back and sent him flying. While he was in the air, reeling from the impact, Soo Hyuk fought against his dizzying headache as he struggled to check his remaining health.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he checked the damage. It was only 10 times a regular wolf’s attack. It wasn’t a big problem for Soo Hyuk, who had over 3000 health and 20 health potions.
Soo Hyuk crashed into a tree after being sent flying by the attack. An extra 200 damage was dealt because of the impact of the crash. Soo Hyuk quickly opened the potion he was holding and drank it while he stood up shakily.
The Magic Missile crashed into the charging wolf, blasting it away. But unlike last time, it wasn’t stunned. More specifically, it couldn’t be stunned.
In Matab, boss raids didn’t happen often as there were only magicians. But on the other regions, a large boss raid would happen every time a boss respawned, and only a few people would be able to obtain rare items or equipment. Soo Hyuk was relieved that he had gotten 2 pieces of rare gear.
Soo Hyuk suddenly heard the crunch of leaves underfoot. Someone or something was clearly moving in his direction. It definitely wasn’t a wolf’s footsteps. And that wasn’t the end of the problem, there was more than one set of footsteps.
Soo Hyuk first hid behind a tree a few metres away from him. He waited for a little while, and he began to hear voices along with the distant footsteps.
If you considered the amount of time Soo Hyuk had spent on the hunt, then he was staggeringly fast at levelling. Soo Hyuk assigned all his bonus stat points into stamina then opened his title list to check his new title.
Although it wasn’t great, it wasn’t bad either. In Pangea, where the effects of your titles would stack, titles that gave special effects or extra stats were considered valuable. Soo Hyuk then closed his character and title tabs and opened his inventory.
He checked the gloves first. The level restriction was level 10. Even if it could be considered a low-leveled piece of gear, it gave 3 extra agility which would make it popular amongst players who focused on agility. Even up to mid-leveled players. Soo Hyuk equipped the gauntlets and checked the boots next.
The effect of the boots was similar to that of the gauntlets. The only difference was that it had a higher physical defence. Soo Hyuk equipped the boots as well and closed his inventory.
Before he had equipped the new gear, the wolves dealt around 50 damage each hit. Just because his physical defence had risen by 170 didn’t mean that they wouldn’t deal any damage at all, but it would be reduced by a large amount.
Then Yang Joo Hyuk felt something was wrong after hearing Jang Yool’s voice. Jang Yool’s voice was always hoarse for 5 minutes after waking up. That meant, his previous shout wasn’t due to a nightmare. Yang Joo Hyuk turned to stare at Jang Yool, who had a flustered expression on his face.
