Ahh

Suddenly they heard the howl of a wolf.

"Are there wolves in the jungle too?"

Cono tilted his head

It looks like wolves also live in the hunting grounds of Balamute.

The wolves waded through the bushes, one or two at a time.

These wolves are around 60-80 levels, living in packs and hunting.

Cono quickly developed a plan.

In total, there were twenty wolves

"There!"

Edel pointed to the approaching wolf

In that group, Conou saw ...

"Balamut!"

It's the monster boss, Balamut.

Balamut watched them from the top of a boulder, his eyes shining blue.

Kuhon!

Balamut roared

The wolf barked wildly, as if in response to Balamut's call, and charged towards Conou and Eder.

Strong, strong!

"What's going on?, cats and dogs working together!?'

Now that he remembers, the idea that cats and dogs don't get along well is nothing more than an old idiom.

Eventually, Conou and Eder are forced to face 20 wolves and Balamute himself!

They were clearly outnumbered

"Are we going to fight?" asked Eder.

"We have to fight back-to-back! If we have our backs to them, it's even more dangerous. ”

Wolves are not the problem here

If they try to flee and turn their backs on the enemy, Baramut will attack, which will mark their end.

"I see!"

Conou and Eder stood back to back.

He gripped the hilt tightly as Edel raised a bone spear.

The five wolves acted as a vanguard and rushed towards Conou and Eder as if to surround them.

Messenger!

The first group of wolves pounced on Conou as they bared their teeth.

Con'ou flies his sword sideways

Brush, pawn!

One of the wolves fell

But in exchange, the two wolves aimed at each of Conou's legs.

Cono moved to the left, avoiding the wolf on his right.

As he did so, he stabbed the blade into the left wolf's mouth.

Everyone!

The left wolf fell to the ground

Bright!

The wolf continued to attack

Con'ou met the wolves and kept glancing at Balamut.

He has no problem with mere wolves, but Balamute can prove to be a problem!

He couldn't miss a single move.

Cullen

Balamut, as always, stood proudly on the rocks, looking down at the battle between Conou, Eder and the wolf. Its eyes continue to glow bright blue.

"When are you going to attack!?"

Con continued to swing his sword, not lowering his vigilance.

Crackling!

He sensed that Ed was fighting the wolf from behind him.

Edel uses all sorts of bone magic to stop wolves, killing wolves if they get too close to his bone spears.

Cono wields his sword and pushes the wolf away! and Edel harasses the wolf with all sorts of bone magic!

The wolves began to decrease. Conou and Eder are facing up to a group of twenty, but Wolves still have no opponent of theirs.

If Balamut does not join the fight, then the wolves will inevitably suffer their doom!

However, Balamut had no intention of letting them do whatever they wanted.

There are also some strange things about wolves.

Their eyes were bloodshot and drooling a lot.

It feels as if they are not the ones being hunted;

"I think it's strange for a cat and dog to work together, Balamut is controlling them!"

Conor knew what was going on.

A bright blue glow in Balamut's eyes! This is most likely a skill that allows it to control wolves.

But it needs to control 20 wolves.

It requires a high level of concentration, which explains why Baramute didn't move at all.

If this is the case, then Balamut will not join the fight unless the pack is all dead, or a certain number of wolves have died.

"Eder, stay vigilant. Baramout could attack at any moment. ”

"Okay. ”

He did not see the need to explain that Bahamut was controlling the wolves and then could not act.

This is just a hypothesis. It's possible that he's incorrect, which could have the opposite effect, lowering Eder's defenders.

Conou kept swinging his sword, cutting down more and more wolves. Luckily, Ed didn't let his guard down.

Strong, strong!

Gion!

The wolf's barking and moaning seem to be combined.

There are only five wolves left!

Then... ！

Hyun!

Balamut roared

The bushes rise and fall, and a few birds fly into the sky.

"It's coming!" Conceur shouted

As they were surrounded by five wolves, Baramut rushed at them while keeping the blue glow in his eyes.

"As I thought. ”

Conou was right

It couldn't move while controlling so many wolves. But as soon as their numbers were reduced, it decided to join the fight.

"Clever bastard!"

It has weakened their lives, members of the House of Commons and Endurance with wolves, and is now trying to finish them off.

Parker, Parker, Parker!

Every time Balamut strode forward, its foot kicked out a lump of dirt.

"Soon!"

Conou set up his guards and prepared for Baramut's attack.

"Go away!"

Edel fired a barrage of bone shards at it, but it zigzagged along its way, allowing it to dodge all the shells.

It was soon within range of Conou, slicing through it like lightning with its front foot.

Hush!

Its sharp claws sliced through the sky and lunged at Conou's head.

Conou defended himself with a blade

Boom!

Although he stopped its attack, the power behind it was still transferred to his body.

Edel quickly tied the bones together. Bones grew around Baramut's hind legs.

However, Balamut is not an ordinary monster, but a boss monster!

And the owner of the jungle!

Balamut swept its hind legs, clogged bones rustling.

Kuhon!

Balamut roared

With its roar, the remaining five wolves rushed towards Eder.

The wolf pounced on Edel from three different directions.

Edel quickly conjured a bone knife and shield and dodged their attacks. However, he could no longer harass Balamut.

As a result, Conou was forced to face Balamute one-on-one.

Of course, Con was convinced that he could win.

"You damn cat!"

Despite the fact that Balamute is three times the size of a regular tiger, it is basically a cat!

Bright!

When its face wrinkled, it seemed to understand his insult.

At the same time, it kicked off the floor and lunged at Conou. He seemed to have been struck by lightning.

Ha ha!

Balamut's mouth opened wide. Its sharp teeth sparkle. If those sharp teeth had pierced his skin, he would have been cut like a butcher's piece of flesh.

"Can't let that happen!"

Con Ou gritted his teeth and swung downward.

Slash!

White lines are carved into the air along the trajectory of his blade. The Dark Strike kicked in at the same time, and a black wave engulfed his demonic sword in the form of a beast.

A combination of blade and darkness!

Light!

So far, Con'ou has lagged behind in terms of strength.

This time, he not only overcame the power of Baramut, but also rolled it to the floor several times.

"Now!"

He immediately rushed forward and stuck his sword in the ground.

As soon as the sword came into contact with the ground, a large number of earth fragments attacked Balamut.

Crackling!

Balamut quickly stood up and kicked the ground hard. It narrowly dodged the dirt shards, only to be bruised by some of them.

"I thought you'd do that!"

Fragments of the earth are just a distraction.

He's the real threat!

Conou rushed over and swung his sword

"Huapu!"

His black blade sliced through the air!

Messenger!

Balamut lay down, narrowly dodging his blade.

"You can't run away!"

Conou, cut in from its side.

Slash!

A white line that seemed to divide the world appeared! Unfortunately, the Dark Strike did not kick in. Instead, his blade touched its side.

Rustle!

A clear wound appeared next to Baramut.

Kaeya!

Balamut roared ferociously, slamming with his front paws.

This is by far its fastest attack.

"Head!"

Cono felt a chill from the top of his head, and leaned his upper body back.

Bouak!

Balamut rented where he used to live. What a ferocious attack!

However..

"It doesn't matter if I don't get hit. ”

As soon as he dodged its front paws, he fought back.

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

His black blade cut through it. He was aiming for the wound on the side!

Kuhang

Balamat did not back down. With its incredible agility, it was disproportionate to its massive body, dodging Con's attacks, fighting back with its claws and teeth.

"Die!"

Cono yelled

Kuhang

Balamut roared

They hit several times. However, deciding on the winner is not easy. They're really equal! they're completely comparable!

But Balamut was the first to give an inch.

Shorter

It turned, the wound on its side out of sight, and glared at Conou.

"Hey, hey. ”

Conou gasped. He didn't have much stamina, so he didn't immediately rush to Balamut.

'Hmm. '

Con'ou glanced at Ed

Edel had already killed two wolves, so there were only three left.

"I've got to keep busy until Ed is available. If we fight together, we will definitely be able to take it down

Conou adjusted his grip.

Balamout is indeed a smart tiger. It is clear that time is not on its side.

I'm sorry

It let out a low growl, and the blue glow disappeared from its eyes.

At the same time, it completely turned around and disappeared into the leaves.

"Stop there!" Conou quickly shouted.

But why not move it just because he says so?

Eventually, Balamut returned to the depths of the jungle and disappeared completely.

Kai Heng, Kai Heng, Kai Heng!

At the same time, Balamut's grip on the wolves was broken, and the two wolves, who barely survived, began to flee.

"Where do you think you're going!?"

Edel impaled a runaway wolf with his bone spear.

Conou kills the last remaining wolf, eventually feeding his blade with a chicken instead of a pheasant.

"Well done, Conou. ”

Ed approached him

"You too. ”

"Here. ”

Edel handed him the garbage he had collected.

"Hmm. ”

Conou put all the junk items he had collected so far, as well as the ones that Eder had given him, on the ground.

He reaches the Demon Sword at the trash and activates its predator abilities. Then, darkness flowed out of the blades and devoured the garbage.

[Ubist has eaten the wasp's stinger.] Satiety increased by 0.06%. ]

[Ubist has eaten the rattlesnake of the rattlesnake.] Satiety increased by 0.1%. ]

[Ubist eats the wolf's teeth.] Satiety increased by 0.12%. ]

When he feeds the demon sword, Ed asks, "Balamut has been running away. What would you do?"

"We have to finish it in its nest so it doesn't have a place to run. ”

That's the whole reason why they roamed the jungle in the first place. In order to find the lair of Balamut.

"So... The next time we meet, I'll try to curse it. ”

"Cursed?"

"Yes. It's called the Stalker Curse and it allows us to pinpoint its location. ”

"You could have done this a long time ago. ”

"I didn't think about it until now. ”

Ed scratched his head

"Good. Then the next time we meet, curse Balamout with that stalker. ”

"Okay. ”

Conou and Eder begin their long trek through the jungle again. Balamutter has not appeared for a long time.

And also..

Night falls
