Warden was exhausted beyond measure. It was worse than when he woke up near the stream. His insides were burning with an icy chill. Although he didn't bear any serious injuries, thanks to the benefit of the legendary cloak and armour, his body was battered after tussling with the wretched wolves. With no other options in hand, Warden brought out the raw hearts he harvested from the cursed creatures and stuffed one of them into his mouth. It felt like he was eating a lump of squashy flesh, disgusting to…

A humongous dire wolf drove away its smaller counterparts as it feasted on the corpses of its kin, unaware that whoever left its meal was lurking in the shadows. Its maw tore through the flesh savagely as a shadow flashed over it. Before the creature could even move a muscle, a blade plunged into its neck, ending the horrifying howl before it even began. Filthy blood splattered as Warden pried open the wound, the cloak's veil slipping. But the job was already done, and the dire wolves feasted…

A couple of hours passed inside the dungeon, just like that. Warden had spent half of the time in combat, and the other half in recuperating. He needed time to recover his stamina and lost energy, after all. With little to no light present in the dungeon, he found hiding was pretty effortless with the help of his cloak. The maddening beasts were incapable of finding him from what he had found so far. Not to mention, they were probably busy with the heaps of corpses he left behind for them to consume.…
-
The wolf reacted just as fast, as though its heavyweight had no effect on its agility. It leapt to meet his attack, pouncing with its claws. With his attributes growing, Warden didn't have much of a difference between their physical attributes. Even still, the cursed dire wolf was stronger than him in sheer physical presence. He had to abandon the notion of confronting it head-on, as there could be more prey lurking in the dark. Warden manoeuvred himself over the back of the beast and plunged his…

The chaotic energy pulsated with the same fervour as when Warden reached the dungeon. As the sun kissed the horizon, it bathed the surroundings in a warm glow. Warden had dedicated some time to confirm the absence of any wolves in the nearby areas, determined to prevent any tragedies from befalling the village during his absence. With everything in order, he ventured into the cavern, heading towards the source of the chaotic energy. Darkness engulfed the interior, pierced only by an eerie silence. Life…

The town's name was Triu, relatively larger than most towns, however, it wasn't as developed as any town near the central region. Buildings were scattered over the land in a disoriented manner, as if there was no town planning during Triu's development. The town guards were no stoic sorts either, merely a mismatched batch of ex-soldiers and young blood who had awakened classes with some combat attributes. Since they had already crossed the town once, it didn't take much to prove their identity. As a…
-
The exhaustion Warden always felt washed up somewhat as he put his mind to the rest of the beasts. A couple of the wolves were already escaping, finding their pack leader's demise. Thankfully, none of them were going where Xiv hid. Warden leapt from his spot and reached for one of the escaping wolves. Unaware of his advances, it couldn't muster any line of defence against his attack. The blade claimed its life, still emitting smoky dark tendrils, sucking in the blood and essence of the slayed creature.…

Warden hadn't seen the dungeon yet, but he could feel its pulsation in his nerves. His left palm twitched hard with the energy inside the aperture stirring up in the presence of chaotic energy in proximity. He forcefully calmed the wild energy, taking a step forward towards the cavern from where the pulse was emanating. "Dungeon?" Xiv stuttered, goosebumps crawling up his skin. "Is it here?" "Where else? Can't you feel the stir in the air?" Xiv shook his head and watched him move into the…

Warden ended the last of the dire wolves with Xiv on his shoulders. A couple of the wolves managed to flee, as he was unable to give them a chance, but the rest weren't so lucky after encountering the duo. Most of the wolves were equivalent to copper ranks, so they were a no-go for Xiv to deal with. If push came to shove, the boy might be able to handle one of them, but that was after taking severe damage. Even though Warden had killed over a dozen wolves since the morning, his attributes didn't grow…

Kiara gave a lecture about why young mages were advised never to try Coercion without appropriate training. She had barely started training in coercion this year and still had a long way to go herself. Warden left the blonde girl to instruct how to proceed with the training regime. Although he didn't remember the correct way, his guesses seemed to align well with Kiara's experience. Basically, it was willpower training through casting, starting with a small, powerless spell that couldn't hurt you too…
