Chapter 10 - Unexpected Turn

The duo readied themselves for combat since the alpha wolf jumped off the boulder and landed on the ground 10 meters away from them as if telling the challengers to brace themselves. The Feral Alpha Wolf is about twice the size of an average wolf, which means it's 4 times the size of Sirius. The wolf has brown fur with some silver fur peeking through, and scars can be seen on its body, signifying that it has participated in many battles. "Sirius, start with Shadow Sneak, then follow up with Bit," Adrian commanded. Sirius then immediately dove into his shadow and a few seconds later emerged from the alpha wolf's shadow. The alpha wolf then noticed the presence behind it and tried to dodge. Unfortunately, the alpha wolf reacted half a second late and was bitten on its tail. <Feral Alpha Wolf> -30hp A notification appeared in front of Adrian. Triggered the status Bleed. The Feral Alpha Wolf will lose 1% of its HP for the rest of the battle. The alpha wolf then suddenly turned hostile and swung its tail to shake off Sirius. The alpha wolf managed to shake off Sirius and flung him towards a nearby wall, damaging him. <Sirius> -30hp Enemy Notification: The Feral Alpha Wolf used the skill Alpha Howl. Its damage and speed will increase by 20%. It also resets its aggro. The alpha wolf suddenly got a burst of speed and then lunged at Adrian. Sirius, seeing its enemy suddenly attacking its master, jumped into the path of the attack and took the brunt of the damage. Sirius got flung towards Adri, a n this made Adrian also be flung due to the force. Player <Equinox> -45hp <Sirius>-50hp Adrian looked at Sirius' HP bar ait nd is now down to 5%. Adrian looked at the alpha wolf, and it seemed to be rooted in place, which he found odd, but he remembered that the alpha wolf had an attack skill called Retaliate. Name: Retaliate Effect: Uses the body's full force to damage the enemy for 150% of attack damage, but tires out the user's body in the process for 3 seconds. Cooldown: 5 minutes "Good thing that skill has a 3-second leeway," Adrian thought. "Let my other halves be blessed by the power of my soul! Invigorated," Adrian chanted. Sirius' HP and stamina went up by 5,0%, and its damage increased. Adrian checked the remaining time for the Howl buff. Howl Buff( 5:00 minutes remaining) "Sir, use Shadow Sneak then, Bitee," Adrian commanded. Sirius dissolved into its s,hadowsprangsprung up from the alpha wolf's shadow. He then went and used Bite on the alpha wolf's leg. <Feral Alpha Wolf> -80hp Adrian was shocked to see the damage value, which was a whopping 80 hpp. The reason for the high damage is the stacking damage buff of Howl and Invigora, plus the double damage proc on Shadow Sneak. Name: Feral Alpha Wolf HP: 30/150(Bleeding) "Just one more attack, ack Si," Adrian yelled. Before Sirius could finish off the boss, it suddenly entered its berserk mode. The boss suddenly has a red aura around, signifying it has entered its final stage of power up. When a boss usually enters berserk,k mod,,e it gains 50% more attack damage but also receives 50% more damage in return. Both the boss and Sirius lunged at each ther, er which resulted in both of them receiving damage. Dungeon Notification: You have defeated the boss, Feral Alpha Wolf. You can now achieve level 5. Received the Wolf's Heart quest item. Player Notification: Player Level up!!! Sirius Level up!!! Sirius has achieved the title "Alpha" Adrian checked on Sirius before sighing in relief. He got lucky that Sirius managed to hang on to 1 h, p.t. Then he wondered how Sirius got a title. He then suddenly stopped moving and wondered why the portal was not materializing yet. Suddenly..... The corpse of the alpha wolf suddenly started to reanimate itself while smoke seemingly pooled onto its now missing heart. When the corpse fully reanimated, an unknown force sent a shock wave, knocking back Adrian and ending up killing Sirius. <Equinox>-10hp <Sirius>-10hp Player Notification: The soulbound Sirius has returned to your soul corridor. Adrian looked at the now reanimated alpha wolf. Name: Undead Alpha Wolf Lvl: ??? HP:??? Description: A wolf corpse reanimated by ???. Suddenly, Adrian heard a voice coming from the chest cavity of the undead wolf. "Give me the amulet and your li. " The undead wolf opened its mouth and suddenly shot a beam of energy that looked eerie. Adrian's hp went directly to Z, Ero, then he heard an announcement. Player Announcement: The item Amulet of Chaos' second passive has noTheheuserr has triggered the Karma ability and will now be sent to the Hall of Armageddon. All of a sudden, a door with swiggling dark energy appeared behind Adrian's avatar and sucked him inside. He got transported to what looked like an archaic castle hall he heard an announcement.
