The other werewolves undergoing their transformation could not dodge the spreading poison chain. But the one already in its human form could move and avoided the chains.
However, the chain swiftly changed its direction towards the werewolf.
âIs it because it leveled up?â
The speed the chain could change its direction became pretty fast. The proficiency must have
had something to do with it.
â What?
The werewolf thought he managed to dodge the chain, but he eventually got caught and
dropped dead.
â Werewolfâs Foreleg x3
â Werewolfâs Canine tooth x2
â Werewolfâs Tendons x2
Soo Hyuk checked the dropped items and grinned.
Werewolves were rare monsters. Therefore their loots were highly-priced. The tendons were an especially hot item. The werewolfâs tendons were much tougher than an ogreâs. The NPC and the defense item crafters had many uses for it.
Soo Hyuk received the drops, and the items went into his inventory.
Passing the carcasses, Soo Hyuk walked forward.
âPoison Storm.â
âFire Storm.â
âPoison Storm.â
âFire Storm.â
Soo Hyuk used two spells alternately every time he met a group of werewolves.
He could have just used one. Unlike the group of goblins and orcs that appeared before the skillâs cooldown was done, the distance between each pack of werewolves was far apart.
âItâs getting further. Does it get further every time?â
Soo Hyuk thought that the distance between each pack gets further each time.
âIf thatâs the caseâŚ, should I finish that quest first?â
ăSpecial quest â The Sageâs Wisdomă
Meet the conditions below! And youâll receive the Sageâs Wisdom.
[Read Books: 100 / 100]
[Mana exhausting skill exhibition: 1621 / 2000]
Quest Reward: Increase Wisdom Stat.
The completion conditions were to read 100 books and use mana exhausting spells 2000 times, and the reward was an increase in Wisdom.
â379 more times.â
Soo Hyuk already finished the first condition, now all he has to do is to cast less than 400 spells.
âYeah, I can do it along the way.â
Soo Hyuk had nothing to do while walking to each pack. He closed the quest window and began to cast various skills.
âFire Spear.â
âPoison Spear.â
âPoison Ball.â
âPool of Poison.â
Soo Hyuk didnât use the storm skills, so he could use them when he encountered the werewolves.
The bombardment of spells made a loud explosion.
âI should be careful with the noise.â
The sound was loud. There was a possibility that the werewolves ahead heard the noise and came to Soo Hyuk.
Soo Hyuk refrained from using skills making loud explosions and cast spells that didnât make noise.
âHealâ
âPoison Fog.â
Currently, Soo Hyuk has access to three magical properties; Fire, Poison, and Healing.
So the only choices that are silent are Poison and Healing.
For Healing, Heal was the only skill, but for poison, all of the skills were silent.
So Soo Hyuk kept casting Heals and Poison skills.
â200 more to go.â
â I smell a human!
â A human?
â Over there! Itâs coming from that direction.
â Maybe itâs our kin, who caught a human.
â No, I donât smell one of our kin.
Soo Hyuk was now encountering the sixth group.
âEight?â
This was the pack with the most werewolves until now, but that didnât change anything.
âFire Storm.â
â Werewolfâs Foreleg x6
â Werewolfâs Canine tooth x5
â Werewolfâs Tendons x6
The drop window appeared, and Soo Hyuk accepted the items.
âNow, If trolls come outâŚâ
This was the sixth group of werewolves. According to his hypothesis, the next monsters should be trolls.
âthat should mean there are six groups for each monster.â
Finishing his thoughts, Soo Hyuk began his repetitive casting.
â40 left.â
Soo Hyuk paused.
âSo it is six groups.â
Three trolls were ahead, and that proved Soo Hyukâs hypothesis.
âPoison Storm.â
Soo Hyuk cast Poison Storm that he saved for the monsters.
â Trollâs Blood x2
The trolls were the same as the rest of the monsters.
Soo Hyuk thought as he was staring at the dead bodies.
âThis is too easy.â
He expected the trolls to be somewhat challenging since he came in this far, but they were still too weak.
âIf itâs this easy⌠I donât think the reward will be that great.â Soo Hyuk had an ominous feeling.
It wasnât always this case, but usually, the scale of the reward was directly correlated with the areaâs difficulty. So seeing the current difficulty, Soo Hyuk didnât expect the reward to be that great.
It was way too easy. He had this thought on his first encounter with the goblins, but just let it slide because it was the first monster.
He expected the difficulty to increase as he went in, but they were all the same.
âWill there even be a reward?â
It was a secret cave, not a cave of treasures.
âEven if there is one, I donât think there will be a lot.â
The difficulty made it unreasonable for the rewards worth to be high.
âWeâll see.â
Soo Hyuk hasnât reached the end yet. The difficulty might increase from now. This may just be the beginning section, and there may be many more monsters from this point on.
Deciding there was no point in tackling this question any longer, Soo Hyuk passed the trolls and headed deeper in.
âHeal.â
âPoison Fog.â
Of course, he didnât forget to cast spells.
A few moments later, Soo Hyuk stopped. Not because of a troll, but because he finished the quest,
âFinally,â
ăSpecial quest â The Sageâs Wisdomă
Meet the conditions below! And youâll receive the Sageâs Wisdom.
[Read Books: 100 / 100]
[Mana exhausting skill exhibition: 2000 / 2000]
Quest Reward: Increase Wisdom Stat.
Soo Hyuk fulfilled the second condition, and now it was possible to finish the quest.
âPlease donât just be an increase in mana.â
Soo Hyuk remembered when his Health stat was increased from 50 to 100.
But this was a different case. The higher the Health was, the better because if the Health hits zero, it means death. However, even if the mana hits 0, nothing happens. His current mana pool was sufficient too.
With nervousness and hope, Soo Hyuk pressed the complete button, and the completion notifications appeared.
âHoly shit!â
Seeing the notification, Soo Hyukâs eyes widened.
[Special Questâ The Sageâs Wisdomâ has been completed.]
[Stat âWisdomâ gained a special effect.]
[Increase in magical damage per every Wisdom stat.]
âMagical Damage! This has to be the best effect.â
There were many effects of Wisdom. Magical Defense, Mana Regen, Mana Capacity, Magical Damage, etc. And out of them all, the most favored one is magical damage.
Soo Hyuk was also hoping for magical damage.
âHow much stronger did I become?â
The effect was an increase in magical damage per wisdom point. Soo Hyuk had around 4000 wisdom, so he was wondering how much of an increase he would get.
âI wonât be able to know from this place.â
Before the power-up, every monster was a one-shot kill.
âWell, Iâll get to know sooner or later.â
Although he was interested, it wasnât a must. He would figure it out naturally, so he resumed to walk.
âHeal.â
âPoison Spear.â
âPool of Poison.â
Although the quest was finished, Soo Hyuk did not stop casting his spells.
âIâve got nothing to do anyway, might as well increase my proficiency.â
Soo Hyuk thought it was better to increase his proficiency. He wouldnât gain exp from monsters anyways. It was better to do something beneficial.
Casting spells, Soo Hyuk approached the next group of trolls.
***
Romian threw a rock the size of a fist, and the rock dropped on the ground.
As soon as the rock touched the floor, arrows flew from the side and were pierced in the wall.
âWheew..â
Seeing the strength of the arrows, Romian let out a sigh of relief.
If the arrows were to hit Romian, he would have become a beehive.
âIâve got to hurry.â
Shaking away his concerns, Romian walked past the trap.

While dismantling the traps, Romian continued his way down the path, and suddenly, Romian stopped even though he hadnât reached the end of the cave.
âIs it here?â
Romain took out a map and checked his surroundings.
âYes, this is it,â said Romian with a grin on his face.
