It takes Darius a couple of hours to change his base camp into something that he can use as a base. He had set up doorways in both tunnels, as well as a small hut made of stone. As well as small walls as fortifications of stone. After building all of that he had gotten Shape Stone up to level 5. ‘Okay, I have a camp made, I think this is the best I’m going to be able to make for now.’ Darius then turn towards the tunnel leading deeper into the dungeon.

He sighs quietly before he starts to walk down it, casting his light spell again as he keeps an eye out for anything. He continues down the tunnel again before he hears more growling. He stops as he looks down the tunnel, seeing at first a pair of eyes, but soon seeing 5 pairs of eyes. “Shit.” He says before he quickly casts Earth Wall twice, leaving a gap wide enough for one wolf to come through at time.

He then casts Air Blade, placing it in the middle of the gap so that the wolves would hit it with their legs. He waits for the wolves to run through, but when they take longer than he thought they would he looks at them. He sees they are waiting for his spell to run out, so he casts fire bolt at them saying “Come on you stupid mutts, come and get it.” as he holds his arms out.

The wolves growl louder before they start to run at him, the lead one goes to jump over the air blade, getting an Ice Shard to the neck right after it jumps. It flies back from the force of the Ice Shard, letting the next one jump, which also gets blasted back from an Ice shard. Darius repeats this with the other 2 that jump, the last wolf having waited. He watches the last wolf, before he casts Ice shard at it, though it jumps out of the way.

He frowns as he looks at the last wolf, before he sends his air blade at it, which it tries to dodge, but it doesn’t move out of the way in time, getting stabbed in the neck. Darius sighs as the wolf collapses, he looks around as he starts to walk past the bodies, but he is stopped as a screen pops up.

Darius nods as he looks over everything, before he continues down the tunnel. It takes him a while, but he eventually enters a large cavern. He looks around surprised at what he finds down here. It looks to be what remains of a small city, everything seeming to have been damaged or destroyed by something. He looks over the city, seeing small packs of wolves wandering around.

He crouches down, activating Stealth, while he starts to walk through the city. ‘I need something that can deal with a pack at a time, I have an idea, hmm, maybe it’ll work.’ Darius looks around as he starts to form something with his mana, waiting for a pack to come near him once it’s finished. In his mana vision what he’s made looks like a small ball of lines of text, curling and wrapping around each other, occasionally merging and splitting.

After a little while of waiting, with his focus on keeping his spell together, he sees some wolves walking down the street towards him. ‘Perfect timing’ He slowly and carefully points at them before he whispers “Arcane Tendrils”
