Chapter 106: Hard Wolf Den Is Hard!

In the Wolf Den Dungeon, two fearless warriors were about to face a new challenge.

This would be their first time fighting the twin wolf brothers at HARD. They had practiced as much as possible in the Normal version, and they couldn't be readier.

"Make sure to keep dodging. If you need a potion refill, just howl twice, and I'll throw you some. Good?"

"Woo!"

Moon Moon raised a paw, its eyes flashing with resolve. On that note, they began the Boss fight, with the two bosses spawning in a silvery flash.

< Romulus the Mighty Lv 10 ?>

< Remus the Forgotten Lv 10 ?>

— Howl! —

Their howling was supposed to be intimidating, but they were welcomed with scorn and ridicule instead.

"Pfft— what's the point of howling? Are you supposed to be scary? Oh, my bad, oh no, I'm scared." Jack said in the most deadpan voice.

"Woo! Woo!"

"You're right. Your left paw is scarier than both of them combined. After all, you're not all howl compared to them." Jack nodded in agreement.

— GRRR!!—

The wolves growled as they lost their temper and charged at them. Thus started yet another game of wolf and block for Jack.

Then he slowly but surely whittled the life of Remus one slash at a time. Blood puddles slowly formed on the ground, with the devil's smile becoming larger and larger.

Then it was time for the finishing blow: "Take this foul beast!" Jack mercilessly went to cut its head whole. But his Cluckinator suddenly stopped dead in its track. It was as if the creature's neck had become harder than steel!

— CLANG!—

"Now fucking what?! Guess that's the new change in hard, eh?!" He cautiously observed.

A silvery light suddenly overflowed from the other boss as it flew toward its brother.

Under the human's horrified eyes, Remus began to regenerate all its HP. No matter how much he tried to finish the job, the boss was invincible!

Oh god. What about all the hard work up to this point?! What about all the potions wasted? It was such a goddamn shame!

The light finally receded, and they were back to square one, minus the mental exhaustion, of course. Seeing this would have rendered anyone despondent, well, almost anyone.

"I see. So you can heal? Let's see how many times you can do it!" Jack bellowed as he began fighting once more.

A few minutes later, he had to come to terms with reality.

It turned out that the boss would always heal as long as its brother was alive— and vice versa. How could it be possible to clear this then? They would have to kill both of them at once.

Jack quickly lowered Remus's HP before turning to Moon Moon.

"Switch, you take the aggro on this one now, and I'll fight your opponent!" He instructed.

"Woo!" (Yes, master!)

Then they quickly rotated. With Moon Moon getting to work with the insults as usual:

"Woo!"

"Woo! Woo!"

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

But no matter what it did, the boss kept attacking Jack'O. This was normal because he had done so much damage to it before.

This meant that Jack had to endure attacks from both sides.

-2

-2

-2

-2

Every hit made his arm shake, and he could feel his bones vibrating. Goddamnit, this was endless! He didn't have a single opportunity to counter nor drink a potion!

"Hurry up and damage it a bit! Otherwise, I won't last!" He shouted.

"Woo!"

Moon Moon began biting and clawing with all its power. But that's when tragedy struck. Or, more precisely, Remus the bloodthirsty wolf devoured.

The little wolf could survive when it was using 100% of its energy to run away. Now that it was attacking, it was in an incredibly precarious situation. It was so close to the enemy that it couldn't dodge.

The boss did a quick attack combo:

-10

-9

-11

That was enough to reduce Moon Moon's HP to zero. It disappeared with a sorrowful wail. It had failed its master!

Jack was left alone, 1 v 2, and thoroughly screwed! This clear was now 100% impossible, even for him.

"Guess I'll die." He could only shrug, resolving himself to the inevitable.

But even if he was about to perish, it didn't mean that his will would falter one bit. He turned toward the creatures to insult them one last time.

"Come and kill me, you smelly dogs! I'll be back to pluck all your fur and whoop your goddamn—"

His tirade was stopped by an enormous maw gulping his body whole.

— Chomp! —

It was a bloody end fit for a man that had been taunting the creatures for the last couple of minutes.

Thus was the end of Jack'O, for now…

━━━━━━ POV ━━━━━━━

Somewhere else in the New Leaf forest, a party was currently at a loss before an orange dungeon.

"How the fuck are we supposed to clear the Fox Grove?!" A member of the mighty wolves exclaimed.

"We should probably copy the boss. He managed to freaking solo it!"

"What is there to copy?! He doesn't do anything peculiar. He just steamrolls it all!"

That is when the CPR dude solemnly looked at them all:

"Actually, I do have a plan."

They all rejoiced:

"What really?!"

"What does it involve?!"

"Anything I can do to help!"

They were so eager as they opened their ears wide, making sure not to miss anything.

"Here's what we'll do." He turned to the pink-haired girl nearby. "Please message your teacher and beg him to help! Our sanity depends on it!" He cried out as he bowed deeply.

Seraphine could only sigh. She had been expecting it already but wasn't sure if he would agree.

"I can try, but he seems super busy lately…." But she stopped giving excuses as she saw their gazes full of hope.

She expertly began tapping the air in front of her:

– Seraphine: We've been farming the Fox Grove. Do you have any tips?

– Jack'O: That sure is a broad question…

– Seraphine: Do you have any tips for surviving the foxes?! They show up every time we take out a potion.

– Jack'O: ˉ_(ツ)_/ˉ Don't use any potion…..

– Seraphine: Let me guess, the trick is to not get hit?

– Jack'O: Smart girl.

– Seraphine: What about the assassin boss? It comes out of nowhere.

– Jack'O: Then be especially wary against nowhere.

– Seraphine: -_- Last thing. How the heck did you beat the level 20 boss?! Asdewqfwe?!

– Jack'O: I didn't ;). Are you having a stroke or something?

– Seraphine: Yes, I'm getting one reading your answers!

– Jack'O: Hehe, alright. I'll be coming over for a second. You guys will be perfect.

As she read his last message, she couldn't help but show shock.

"What did he say?!" Her party members eagerly asked.

"Apparently, he's coming over…." She murmured.

Instantly it was as if they had been injected with chicken blood as they began cheering. Their enthusiasm sure was contagious! They couldn't believe it.

"Hell yes!"

"He's going to show us how to clear the dungeon!"

"Fucking jackpot! With him leading the way, we'll be unstoppable!"

But as Seraphine saw them bounce around in happiness, she couldn't help but worry a little. What was that ominous last line?

They would be perfect? Did he need more cannon fodders or something?!….
