[ Daily Quest: Kill all the wolves that threaten the safety of this area. ]


    [ Progress: Wolf killed: 0/13. ]


    [Rewards: 400 Exp. ]


    What greeted Erend on the other side of the Portal was a  pack of big wolves. The pack had thirteen members, ording to what was written in Erend''s Daily Quest window.


    They have thick fur with various colors. There are wolves with brown, silver, and even blue and red fur color. It was an unnatural color for a wolf.


    In addition, they have the size so big, they nearly reach five meters tall. That again, is unnatural for wolves.


    In front of the pack of giant wolves was a wolf that had jet-ck fur. Even so ck, the fur seemed to swallow the light from the sun above.


    "GRRRRHHH..."


    The ck wolf at the very front, a wolf that seemed to have a great leadership aura, was growling.


    From five meters away - and keep closing in - Erend could hear the growl.


    However, Erend was undaunted. He stepped forward and immediately activated the [Dragon Scale] as usual.


    Activating [Dragon Scale] was something Erend had made a habit of.


    He almost didn''t need to think anymore to choose which skill he would activate at the start of each battle.


    [ Skill activated: Dragon Scale (Lv.5) ]


    Coupled with the [Dragon Scale] which had reached Level 5, Erend was even more confident about his defensive power.


    Erend ran towards the pack of giant wolves.


    "GRRRRAAAHHH!"


    The ck wolf who was at the forefront jumped while pointing its two ws forward. It also opens its jaws wide, showing its rows of sharp teeth.


    Erend jumped to approach it. They shed in the air apanied by a crashing sound.


    The ck wolf immediately attacked Erend blindly. Fangs and ws united trying to tear Erend''s body.


    Unfortunately for the wolf, its ws and teeth couldn''t prate the [Dragon Scale]''s defense. All of those attacks can be stopped by the red and ck scales.


    Erend held the ck wolf''s upper jaw. Then kicked its stomach until the wolf flew backward.


    From behind him, two more wolves immediately came and use their w and fangs to attack Erend''s shoulders and back.


    Theirrge bodies made Erend pushed forward and fell down.


    When he was at the bottom, the two wolves immediately mauled him mercilessly.


    Even though Erend didn''t feel any injuries, being mauled like this was very annoying.


    [ Skill activated: All Fire-based Power (Lv.1) ]


    *SWOOOSSSHHH!*


    Fire came out from all over Erend''s body around and covered the wolves that were mauling him.


    They both jumped with screams of pain. Their fur caught fire and the two wolves rolled over trying to put out the fire.


    The ck wolf let out another growl. After that, a shrill howl sounded from its mouth. As if giving a call for the other pack members to start attacking.


    So that''s what happened next. Thirteen giant wolves charged toward Erend with ferocity in their eyes.


    [ Skill activated: All Fire-based Power (Lv.1) ]


    Erend shot out fire at the wolves. He immediately used a lot of MP to make his mes bigger.


    The mes soared through the air and burned some of the nearby trees.


    Erend put out the fire a momentter when he felt that the wolves had scattered.


    At first, Erend was sure that the giant wolves had been burned to the ground. Despite their size, they shouldn''t be able to withstand such arge amount of fire.


    That''s what Eren thought. But the reality turned out to be different from his expectations.


    The thirteen members of the pack of the giant wolf were still standing straight while baring their teeth. Their eyes radiated far greater rage than before.


    Erend saw that on their fur, there were now bits of ice that were starting to melt. The melting ice kes finally made their bodies wet.


    Maybe that''s how they survive Erend''s fire.


    Erend''s forehead creased. ''What happened? Now those wolves can use Magic?''


    What Erend saw was something close to Magic.


    These wolves were definitely not ordinary wolves because of their size. But Erend didn''t expect that they could use Magic too.


    "What are you?"


    Erend''s eyes widened slightly in surprise. The wolf with ck fur just spoke to him.


    Its mouth moves like how humans talk and it makes sounds like humans too. That''s so weird.


    "D-Did you just... talk?" Erend asked.


    "Yes," the ck wolf replied to Erend''s question.


    "Wow, I didn''t think you guys could talk," Erend said. "How?"


    "That''s not important for you to know. We''ll be killing you in a moment, so any knowledge you gain will be useless," the ck wolf spoke as if it were the truth.


    Erendughed inwardly. They were indeedrge in size and could probably use Magic. But, can they really beat his Dragon''s power?


    ''But at the very least, before I kill them I have to get information first. Whatever it is,'' Erend thought.


    A pack of wolves that were gigantic in size and could use Magic might be storing certain information.


    Especially now that a lot of strange things are happening. It was as if everyone was weing theing great cmity.


    "Then you can say it without fear of anything, right? Because I will die. At least just say everything," Erend said.


    Even ording to himself it is a stupid sentence, they can''t possibly fall for it, right?


    "Very well, I will say it as yourst request."


    However, the ck wolf agreed. Erend is taken aback. But he is happy to listen.


    "We are the Lycans, our tribe is the Snj??r from the northern mountains," the ck wolf said.


    ''Lycans?'' Erend frowned. He had a feeling he had heard that name before.


    "Come to think of it, you only need to know about that before you die," the ck wolf suddenly added.


    ''Wow, you can think too.''


    Suddenly, the ck wolf barked and at the same time begin their attack.


    [ Skill activated: All Fire-based Power (Lv.1) ]


    Erend shot his mes down. Arge wave of mes shot out and aimed at the wolves at once.
