While Reign and the others were fighting the boss, Wolf was busy running around and fighting off the 30 spiders that had attacked him. The biggest problem he faced was the fact that amongst the spiders were also a couple of elites and variants, both were specially bred by the queen in order to fight powerful intruders, and now they were completely focused on one thing, killing Wolf.

His powerful flames were a strong deterrent to the spiders even now, but compared to earlier it wasn't as useful simply because these guys had much higher defense amongst other things. The shrieks of the spiders reverberated through the dungeon as they charged at Wolf who was constantly moving while attacking the monsters.

A couple of charred carcasses were on the ground as Wolf had managed to kill a couple of them so far. His forehead was drenched with sweat, not because of the high temperature but because of the dangerous battle during which he was fighting with everything he had.

One of the spiders suddenly jumps down at the seemingly oblivious Wolf, the monster was on the ceiling and it attempted to sneak attack Wolf who wasn't paying attention to it.

[ Melting Slash ]

Wolf's sword emits an incredibly high temperature as it turns into a bright orange color, since the materials that were used to forge it had incredible durability and fire resistance, his [ Melting Slash ] was even more powerful compared to before as the temperature the sword could reach had gone up.

Without even looking at the spider, Wolf slashes above him as his sword cuts through the spider without any difficulty. Two halves of the monster fall down on the ground, the two halves had clear signs of being burned as there was no blood flowing from them, and the meat was also completely charred as well.

Bang!

Wolf immediately jumps to the side as one of the elite spiders attacked him after the slash. The powerful legs of the spider immediately puncture the ground as it continues charging at Wolf. Contrary to the other spiders, the elites and variants were very different, from what Wolf had seen so far, they didn't have the ability to create webs, there was the possibility that they could, but they simply didn't do it because of Wolf's flames as well.

The variants were dirty white and their bodies were different compared to the other spiders, first of all, they had no hairs on their body as only glossy chitin was there, resembling the ants that they previously fought against. The variant's legs were also different as they were shaped like blades, and from what Wolf had seen they were incredibly sharp as well.

The elites on the other hand were big, they were double the size of the other spiders. They were less hairy compared to the other spiders, but they were not like the variants. Their two front legs were elongated and looked like blades while the other legs looked the same as a normal spider's. Besides that, their speed was also not inferior to the other spiders, even though their size should have made them slower.

There were still about 20 spiders that were attacking Wolf, he had managed to kill more than 10, but those were mostly the normal, weaker spiders, he had only managed to kill one variant after tricking the monster to attack him, similarly to what he did with the other spider now. Of course, the variants and elites both had higher intelligence compared to the normal spiders and they had already learned their lesson.

The situation was looking dangerous right now, of course, Wolf didn't need to defeat all of his enemies, simply waiting for Reign and the others to deal with the boss was enough as they would be able to defeat the monsters without major difficulty then. Still, there was a bloodthirsty smile plastered on Wolf's face as he looked at the spiders, some of them even looked hesitant as the human in front of them exuded danger and their brains were trying to warn them and tell them to run away. Of course, killing Wolf was an order from the boss and none of them could defy her.

If a human was facing Wolf right now, they would be able to feel an intense pressure coming down on them as the air around Wolf distorted a bit, a blood-red hue covering him and his flames. Of course, none of that truly happened, it was simply the intense bloodlust that Wolf had right now that would play a trick on the minds of others, the pressure as well had nothing to do with mana as it was pure bloodlust and murderous intent.

That was something that Wolf learned even before the game had started, an assassin had to be silent and inconspicuous, their killing intent had to be hidden until the moment their blade reaches their enemy. Wolf on the other hand never really liked his job nor the way assassins fought, he created his own way of assassinating targets.

Of course he rarely ever used it, releasing his killing intent and bloodlust would simply let his target know about him and it would make the job harder. Of course in certain situations it would make everything easier, Wolf even remembered when he first used it, back then his target was located in a safe house with about 10 bodyguards guarding him.

Wolf released his killing intent and bloodlust which made them all incredibly nervous, some of the weaker bodyguards became wary of everything around them and even the slightest breeze would make them panic. Like a reaper of death, he killed them all one by one as none could even see his shadow. In the end, his target fainted after seeing all of the men killed, Wolf simply stabbed him through the heart and finished the job.

The last time he had used this was against the elite hobgoblin that had an earth ability back at the warehouse. Of course back then he only used a bit of his killing intent as he had managed to finish the battle relatively fast, not to mention that his mark was also influenced by him, the power he gained from it was enough to overpower the hobgoblin and in the end he didn't even need to pressure the bastard with his intent.

Now, however, he was fully using it. The spiders charged at him again, albeit a bit more slowly this time, it was obvious that his plan was working, even though these creatures didn't have the same intelligence as humans, their basic instinct was there, right now Wolf was nothing less than a predator in their eyes and a slight fear had formed in them.

[ Sword of Flames ]

Wolf was determined to end this battle in the next five minutes, he glanced at Reign and the others and was relieved to see that they were doing just fine. The giant boss was bloodied all over as they were attacking it relentlessly, even though they got wounded, Laura was there to quickly heal them while attacking the boss together with them.

'It sure feels nice to have dependable teammates.' Thought Wolf as he attacked the spiders, he usually acted alone on his missions, sometimes however there was a need to work together with other assassins, hated those missions as they would usually clash while forming a plan on how to do the mission. Ever since he joined the team with Reign and the others however it was different, after the world changed he felt liberated, no longer did he need to stick in the shadows and kill his targets.

Ever since he saw his ability he knew that staying an assassin would be impossible, he only felt excited back then, however. Now he was able to do something he always wanted, stand straight against a multitude of enemies and fight to his content, even his family knew that his temperament was different from other assassins. However, his talent was truly too good to pass so he was made an assassin.

Even joining the university back then was part of a mission he had, well, it was a mission he forcibly took from somebody else. The reason why he did it was simple, he wanted to meet the son of one particular person.

Wolf's father was one of the top assassins in the world, during his many years he only failed 2 jobs, one because another assassin managed to kill his target before him, while the second time was because he decided not to eliminate his target. Not only did he do that, however, but he also protected the person and forced the people that wanted the man dead to give up.

Even when Wolf asked him about it, his father never once explained his reason, curious about it Wolf actually managed to steal the information about the mission his father took back then. After doing so he enrolled in the university under the pretense of taking on a mission. He wanted to meet the target's son first and form a friendship before meeting the man, however that turned out to be more difficult than he imagined.

A mere two months later the man died, his son became little more than a shell of his former self and Wolf decided that he would simply leave after finishing the mission. Of course, six months later the game started and everything went to hell. He still remembered reading the contents of the mission his father took back then, he had a simple goal, eliminate the current MMA heavyweight champion, John Ashburn.
