<Will the host accept this mission?>
<Yes/No>
As the translucent pop-up screen appeared before Yuan’s eyes, accompanied by the familiar ‘ding’ sound, his eyes lit up with excitement.
’81 SP to slay 27 Greater Flame wolves, huh? And the mission difficulty is set to high? I wonder what a Greater Flame wolf looks like. Since it has “flame” in its name, it must be able to use special flame-powered attacks.’ Yuan pondered, envisioning the capabilities of the creatures.
He promptly rose from his seated position and approached his older sister, Lily, who was steering the carriage. “Big sis, stop the carriage soon. There are monsters ahead.”
“Huh? Monsters?! But I haven’t sensed anything so far. How did you detect them?” Lily exclaimed, surprised by Yuan’s assertion, as she hadn’t noticed any unusual movements or indications of monsters.
“Big Sis, why would I lie to you? I’m telling the truth. There’s really a group of monsters within a 200-meter radius,” Yuan affirmed.
“Really?” Lily’s expression shifted to one of seriousness. She hadn’t anticipated encountering another group of monsters so soon, especially after Yuan had dispatched a band of goblins just hours ago.
‘This is truly unbelievable! I never thought we would encounter another group of monsters so soon. This forest is indeed very dangerous, and the number of monsters within it is also remarkably high. No wonder Lord Monroe warned us before we left the village. It all makes sense now,’ Lily reflected, recalling Lord Monroe’s cautionary words about the dangers of the forest.
‘Since my brother is taking this so seriously, there must really be a group of monsters ahead,’ Lily thought, her trust in Yuan’s judgment unwavering. She promptly halted the carriage beside a massive tree.
Yuan swiftly retrieved his sword from his system storage and tossed it into the air. He leapt onto the blade, soaring into the sky with a determined smile on his face as he addressed his wives.
“You guys stay here. I’ll be back within half an hour,” Yuan declared, hovering in the air on his flying sword, ready to face the challenge ahead.
Once Yuan had ascended to a certain height, he hovered in the air, balanced on his flying sword, and surveyed the forest below in search of the group of Greater Flame wolves.
“The forest looks so beautiful from up here, yet it’s as treacherous as a rose surrounded by thorns… Let’s find those damn monsters.” Yuan activated his ‘divine sense’ to locate the pack.
As his divine sense extended, nothing within the forest could evade Yuan’s perception. He could even discern the movements of distant, tiny creatures.
“Found you. There you are. They’re much larger than most of the wolves I’ve encountered, except for ‘that’ one. And their fur seems to be ablaze. No wonder they’re called Greater Flame wolves.” Yuan grinned widely, spotting the group feasting on a fallen creature.
Swiftly, he made his way towards them, arriving at their gathering point. Without much contemplation, he leaped from his sword, which obediently found its way into his hand.
With a resounding crash, Yuan landed amidst the Greater Flame wolves, who immediately tensed, sensing the impending threat.
“Woooo! Grrrrrrr!”
Surrounded by the vigilant wolves, Yuan took in the sight. “So, this is a Greater Flame wolf. Much larger than I anticipated. And that flaming red fur, it looks as if it’s actual fire.” Yuan murmured with a grin, noticing the intense glint in the wolves’ eyes.
“Roaaaarrrrrrrr!” One of the wolves let out a thunderous roar, slightly larger than the rest, with fangs and claws gleaming as if they could rend through heavy armor with ease.
“Roarrrr! Roarrrr!” The wolves unleashed furious roars, saliva dripping to the ground, their claws scraping the earth.
Yuan’s smile widened as he tightened his grip on his sword. Without hesitation, he closed the distance between him and the oncoming wolves. They charged at him, fangs bared, teeth gleaming, intent on rending his flesh and limbs.
Slash!
A wolf closed the gap swiftly, but Yuan’s massive sword swung with deadly precision. It cut through flesh and bone, leaving the wolf lifeless on the ground.
Thud!
Yuan didn’t pause for a moment. As the other wolves attacked, he continued his deadly dance, dispatching them one by one, the effort appearing almost effortless.
The larger wolf seethed with anger, witnessing its comrades fall lifeless at Yuan’s hand. Spotting an opening, it launched a clever sneak attack, jaws gaping to crush Yuan’s head.
“Oh, a sneak attack. How clever… too bad it’s useless against someone like me, with divine sense…” Yuan grinned widely, dodging the attempted strike with deft swiftness.
“Grrrr!” The wolf glared, its attack thwarted.
Meanwhile, back in the carriage, Anna, Grace, Emma, Rose, Julie, and Ava exchanged puzzled glances as Yuan abruptly left, soaring away on his sword.
Anna turned to Lily, concern in her eyes. “Lily, why did you stop the carriage? And do you know where Yuan went on his sword?”
Lily faced her two mothers and sisters. “Well, up ahead, there’s another group of monsters. Yuan went to subjugate them. He’ll return in half an hour, so don’t worry. He’ll be fine.”
“Is that so? I didn’t expect us to encounter another group of monsters so soon,” Anna exclaimed with a serious look, her concern evident.
Rose’s expression grew complicated as she worried about Yuan’s safety. “This is unbelievable! Will Yuan be okay fighting a group of monsters alone?”
“You don’t need to worry about darling’s safety. He has the ability to go against thousands of monsters alone. Just believe in him, okay?” Grace reassured, her usually cold expression softening with a small smile.
“En,” Rose nodded, though despite Grace’s comforting words, she couldn’t shake her worry.
Meanwhile, Yuan had managed to dispatch most of the wolves, leaving only two remaining. One was the pack leader, and the other was heavily wounded.
“Now, only the two of you remain. I’ll finish you both quickly; my wives are waiting for my return at the carriage.”
“Roaaarrrrr!” The leader roared, seemingly in response to Yuan’s words, as if understanding the challenge.
“Oh, it seems you’re more intelligent than I thought. You understood everything, didn’t you? Well, in any case, you have to die today.” Yuan remarked before launching himself at the leader with his massive sword in hand.
The wounded wolf tried to protect its leader, but Yuan’s kick sent it flying with astonishing force.
“Now, it’s your turn to die!” Yuan swung his sword down at the leader, too fast for the wolf to react.
Slash!
The sword cleaved through the wolf’s body, spilling blood across the ground, staining the soil in red.
<Ding! Mission completed! You’ve successfully vanquished the monsters.>
<81 SP has been added>
<Mission status: completed>
«Mission: Kill the monsters ahead within a 200-meter radius»
«Number of monsters: 27 Greater Flame wolves.»
«Difficulty: High»
«Reward: 81 SP»
«Time Limit: 1 hour»
«Mission failure: – 100 SP.»
“Sweet!” Yuan celebrated inwardly, a smile spreading across his lips.
“Now let’s collect their teeth and skin as proof of our subjugation of Greater Flame wolves. Since it has the strength of a B-rank monster, there’s a higher chance that its skin would be sold at a higher price,” Yuan muttered, his gaze fixed on the wolves he’d just slain. He began the task of skinning them, deftly storing the pelts in his system storage.
A few minutes later, he’d finished the process and stored the skins away.
“My job is done here. Now, let’s return to the carriage. They must be worried about me now,” Yuan said to himself. He tossed his sword into the air, and it hovered, waiting. With a swift jump, he mounted it and flew back towards the carriage, the journey taking less than a minute.
“Did I make you guys wait long?” Yuan greeted, a smile on his face as he entered the carriage.
Anna rushed forward and enveloped him in a tight hug, her face buried in his chest. She spoke, muffled, “You know how worried I was when you went to hunt monsters without telling me? You should’ve informed me. Rose was also very worried about you.”
Rose’s cheeks reddened at Anna’s words, and the others nodded in agreement. Yuan chuckled at the scene, finding it quite endearing.
After a moment, Grace regarded Yuan with a curious gaze. “Darling, what kind of monster did you kill just now? I’m very curious.”
“I killed a type of monster known as Greater Flame wolves. There were 27 of them, and now none remain alive,” Yuan answered with a smile.
“Greater Flame wolves?! And 27 of them?! Oh, my God!” Rose exclaimed, looking at Yuan with wide eyes, clearly in disbelief.
“Hmm? What’s wrong, Rose? Why are you so shocked? Is Greater Flame wolves a rare monster?” Yuan inquired, curious about Rose’s astonished reaction.
Anna wore a smile as she observed her son’s puzzled expression. “Well, you see, dear. The Greater Flame wolves usually travel in packs, and their strength is not to be underestimated, especially due to their high agility. This is why most hunters opt to avoid them. If they do encounter them, they typically choose to flee immediately.”
“Furthermore, it takes a significant number of hunters to take down a single Greater Flame wolf. They’re too swift for most to land a substantial blow that could incapacitate the wolf. Because of this, items crafted from Greater Flame wolf materials are in high demand, especially among wealthy nobles and royal families,” Anna explained, her tone gentle and informative.
“I see. So basically, I’ve made a small fortune by hunting them, huh? No wonder Rose reacted that way. Thank goodness I skinned them and stored their pelts in my personal space,” Yuan mumbled, his voice low but still audible to everyone present.
