hear a waterfall reverberating
somewhere on the other end of the cavern, and from above multiple holes in
the ceiling provided a warm light that glowed down through the foliage,
lighting up the area like a spring morning. It was like entering an entirely
new world.
    Suddenly a wolf howl
reverberated through the cavern strong enough that I felt the ground
vibrate. What followed was a wolf coming out of the trees, apart from the pure
white fur it had razor sharp claws, electric blue eyes and a snarl on its face
revealing its teeth and saliva. Let’s not forget that the most terrifying thing
about this wolf was its stature, standing one and a half times taller
than me.
    I had eighty percent
health and around sixty percent stamina left as the great white wolf initiated
combat, as to whether my aggravation works on a boss monster is impossible
to tell at the moment but I was curious.
    All distracting thoughts
left my mind with the speed the boss class wolf closed the distance and with
one swipe of its claws sent me flying across the cavern and into a tree. What
an incredible attack, not only was my health knocked below fifty percent but an
icon on my vision flashed showing that I was dazed and couldn’t move.
    The wolf knew I was
incapable of movement and took its time in turning and approaching me. It was
only a few steps away from me when the effect disappeared, and before I
suffered another potentially fatal blow I jumped as hard as I could into the
branches of the tree above me. Moving across a few trees my agility really
showed its value, especially considering I nearly fell down a few times as
my hands were occupied holding onto the short swords and couldn’t hold onto any
branches, all I could do was balance.
    Meanwhile underneath the
great white wolf was tracking my movements and following underneath me, I was
personally a little afraid I wasn’t high enough and it would simply jump up and swat me down. Managing to recover ten percent of my
health and the entirety of my stamina, I launched myself down at the wolf,
catching it unaware and sinking my two blades into the top of its head. Landing
on the ground and following by pulling one hand backwards into the position to
activating triple strike, aiming at the exposed stomach it revealed when it
reared up on its hind legs from my initial attack.
    My mind had completely
entered the zone, I rolled out of the way after my skill finished just in case
and put some distance between us. It was considerably more wary of me now that
I’m a genuine threat to it, I did just instantly take off forty percent of its
health with two perfect critical strikes in vulnerable areas. I also had to be
wary, the wolf would strike unexpectedly in a combination of multiple ways, and
while managing to prevent most of the damage by evading sideways or backwards,
a clean hit would take off more than half my remaining health.
    Both the wolf and I
were down to thirty percent health, we were both feeling exhausted and
sluggish, but the wolf still held the upper hand. I didn’t have enough strength
to jump back up and hide in the foliage, and the wolf didn’t have enough to
launch the attacks dealing with extreme speed like it’s very first one.
    Weaving through the
trees, we exchanged blows in gaps between the trunks, I fended off most of
the slashes it sent out with its claws and evaded its jaws when it got too
close, swinging my swords back twice for each of its attacks. It was
nothing short of luck that the fight shortly swung in my favour, the wolf
adopted a limp and I gained complete dominance over it in speed. A short dash
and I was under its head unleashing the triple thrust on its exposed neck,
ended out fight.
    I felt a little guilty, it was such a beautiful creature. Yet it was doomed
to death, this is the shame of boss monsters. It appears I levelled up a few
times from the fight, and the loot menu rewarded me a giant canine tooth and
great white wolf pelt, the quest item
