She’s been fighting countless number of Hellwolves ever since she left the town of the dungeon’s second floor.

This was right after her short encounter with a very interesting creature she would only knew as Seitan.

With every single fight against the Hellwolves, Kiwi gained valuable information.

The information she gained included combat patterns, mannerism’s of the wolves and more.

The one most notable thing amongst all the discoveries that she had with the monster, was the information about when it will use its ‘Howl’ skill.

Kiwi finally understood, that the moment the Hellwolf’s hit points would fall below 15 percent and farther, that’s the time the wolf will unleash the skill.

A skill ignited under very difficult circumstance.

A last ditch effort to survive. A desperate move.

“Cornered dogs bites the hardest”

That statement holds true even for the likes of the Hellwolves.

Before this knowledge, Kiwi used to run away from the mutts.

It was not like she could not put up a good fight and defeat one by herself. That's entirely untrue.

She just figured that it will be a waste of time to fight an unfair 1 versus 8 fight. Since later on, once the lone wolf gets cornered, it would start calling its kin and the unfair fight would be unveiled.

Still the question remained--- How did she overcame ‘Howl’?

The answer was rather simple.

The solution was to expunge the life of the Hellwolf in one go.

All 15 percent remaining hit points should be slashed to nothingness in one single swing. Thats more or less the jist.

Well, the solution was actually more of a problem in itself than the actual answer.

With Kiwi, her slash's damage output was about 8-10 percent per slash using her current sword.

It would be easier to achieve this if she was level 20 or higher but. Her damage output should be higher.

However of course, she was only level 11 at that time. She can barely hit 10 percent in one slash.

Thats not all, the 10 percent maximum damage output can only be achieved if the RNG sided with you.

That would mean that luck should always be at your side to trigger it.

And that’s a big ‘if’.

Praying to the RNGeesus was not hard though. The hard part was whether RNGeesus would listen to your prayer. Because most of the time, gods don’t. They’re busy.

Deal with it!

Kiwi didn’t rely on the god’s to cover the deficit however.

She relied on a skill.

About a few days ago, Kiwi stumbled upon a quest dubbed as “Remnant of a Wraith Warrior”.

The quest was to free a noble warrior from the grasp of an evil spirit and free its 500 year old soul from the torment.

The Samurai named Jubei from the Tsuki Demon Clan, succumbed to the power of the vile spirit long ago, and ever since then, the warrior who turned to a wraith, terrorized the southern planes of the second floor dungeon.

Jubei killed countless of fledgling demons.

He was the bane of adventurers who unknowingly travelled the southern parts of the floor.

It was only by a stroke of luck that Kiwi managed to defeat Jubei at level 10.

The last slash that decapitated the head of the Samurai was nothing short of a miracle. Even Kiwi was still in disbelief as to how she managed to evade the quick slashes of Jubei back then. Her reaction was fluid and flawless, she even surprised herself.

It was after Jubeis defeat that another surprise was presented to Kiwi.

She was offered the hidden job as a “Magic Samurai”.

She was beyond ecstatic when the chance presented itself to her.

The chance to become much greater.

No hesitation was needed and Kiwi pressed yes at the option to accept the occupation.

The moment she accepted being a Magic Samurai, was the moment she found the solution against the Hellwolves.

Moon Cleave.

It was the first skill that was granted by the Magic Samurai class.

In essence, the skill produces a double slash effect with just one slash of the sword.

It was the skill that almost took her life when she was fighting Jubei.

She can still recall how the Wraith Jubei beautifully executed the dreaded skill.

The moon cleave covers the sword with moonlight upon execution. When the sword is swung, a moonlight shadow after image, will be conjured by the sword, hitting the target twice on the same spot.

This was the answer to question.

The Hellwolves stood no chance against her.

'This power!'

Kiwi doesn’t run away from the sight of any Hellwolf now. In fact, she welcomes it.

‘Thank you for your sacrifice’

Another wolf had bitten the dust.

□ □ □ □ □

Her steps was pretty frantic.

Traversing pass a mini mountain and a cave, Kiwi found herself once again in a very familiar place.

Standing in front of the Mulawin tree, she was now Level 18.

She saw the familiar boulders of red crystals, the red glowing tree in the middle and the shallow streams.

She also saw something new.

It seems to be an igloo made of leaves.

‘So he made a camp?’

Kiwi found most of the things the little man have conjured. From the medium sized picnic table, to the campfire in the middle and the plethora of cooking utensils.

She found the remnants of the little man that was once the inhabitant of this space.

Everything was here...

Except for the little man himself.

She unknowingly touched the Red Aurora necklace.

It was dangling between the crevice of her ample chest.

A moderate draft of wind coming from the fissure of the cave slightly ruffled her hair.

“He’s gone...."

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

Achoooo!

'Did someone remembered me just now?'

That... or he could be allergic to fur?

Seitan was wiping his snot with the back of his paw.

Yes. Its 'the back of his paw' since the little man was now wearing the Hellwolf Cover-All armor he'd so carefully crafted.

'Goodbye peasant loin cloth.'

'Hello sexy beast!'

Sexy beast, however, did not sew its ass on its own.

It was a painful and ardous journey getting to where 'sexy' is.

Seitan killed almost sixty or more of the Hellwolves population just so he can get the 10 wolf fur needed for the recipe.

Killing one hellwolf was never easy much less sixty more.

He would curse deeply every time he would kill a wolf but no fur would drop.

RNGeesus can be so unfair sometimes. In his case that day, it was almost every time.

Sweat.

Blood.

Determination.

Seitan offered them all to the RNGeesus as tribute just so he can bestow him the fur.

'Hey Mister Freeman? Are you brothers with RNGeesus? Can you like tell him to stop farting bullshit around and give me my drop instead...'kay?"

A few days had passed as what seemed to be a millenia, Seitan finally collected the required numbers.

He cried like a baby afterwards.

'Fuck, I finally got 10!'

Together with the recipe from the guide book and his (D)Grade Alchemy, 'sexy' was finally born.

Hellwolf Cover-All (U)

'Why so sexy...beast?"

Adds +3 to all stats

Skill(A): Dog eat Dog World.

The enemy will fight you one versus one. Skill only applies to Hellwolves

Skill(P): Im a wolf too.

Hellwolves will mistaken you for a kin and will ignore you until you attack.

He was such a sexy beast in costume, he cant help but hug himself.

'Im so warm and fuzzy!'

But what good would sexy do when his ass is still broke?

He looked at his gold vault.

All zeroes.

"Dobu jurim and rice again tonight I guess?"

Shaking the sad thought away, he remembered he was out in the open planes to finish a mission.

The golden dragonfly reminded him of that.

He felt another sniffle coming.

Achooooo!!!

'Geezus, am I popular now?'
