Chapter 70 [Wolf Territory: 2]
Click!
I clicked on the + button of the summon.

[Summon Enhance: Enhance Summons dead by 1.5 times.]
[Summon Loyalty: Final skill of summon, makes the summon to hold the world's most loyalty and respect for you. Can die at your command.]
"Hmm..." I closed the window and smiled cheerfully. I stood and walked in the forest as my three bodyguard surrounded me and protected me.
After walking for a moment, I met a party of wolves surveying the area. I immediately command my wolves to fight them.
They charged at the wolves as I sat backward-looking at the battle.
"Grrr!!" The enemy wolves frowned and attacked my wolves. But my wolves dodged the attack and counterattack them.
Rawr! Howl!!
My wolves and four wolves fought to the death. And my three wolves killed all of them as they also got some injuries. But their injury quickly healed as my mana depleted. It only depleted by 3, so I was still safe.
I immediately rushed at the wolves and summoned them. I also took the dropped cores, which dropped instantly after killing the wolves.
With that, I have now 7 cores and 7 wolves. My excitement rose. A creepy smile formed on my face as I looked at my wolves.
"WAAAAH!"
I lost control over my emotions as I let out a triumphant shout before leaving the area.

[Summon] [Summon] [Summon]
With every chant, my forces grew. After leaving the area with 7 wolves, I wandered the floor for 2 hours ultimately killing more than 20 wolves and summoning them to my party.
"Hmm... Now I have 27 wolves. Probably, an entire floor of wolves." I smiled as I have almost all the wolves on the first floor.
More wolves were still spawning but I didn't have much time to walk over a single floor. With 27 cores in my back and five items, I gained after killing the wolves. I walked over to the stair room.
"Smallsword, Dragger, Weak Armor, Weight shoe and Auto Ropes." I looked over my items while walking. They were not necessary as I don't have to participate in the fight.
I just kept them to use when it is necessary for the dungeon and ultimately sold them after going out. I reached the stair room in 5 minutes.
Fortunately, no hunter saw me with these monsters or they would mistakenly take me as the ally of the monster or other evil guy. Well, I would have to deal with them if anyone sees me as long as they are not that strong.
Before climbing the stairs, I sat on the stair and let my wolves protect me. I took out cores from my messed-up bag.
"10 Vitality stones, 11 Energy stones, and 6 strength stones." I counted them before starting to absorb them. As I am in E rank, so I could only absorb a limited amount of stones.
I need to increase my rank with higher skills as only increasing my stats won't do.
"My limit now is 10 stones, which would be the peak of E rank. And I need to buy and learn a D-rank skill to increase myself to D-rank." I murmur to myself as I absorbed the cores.
Sissssss!!!
A small sound echoed as my body absorbed the cores. In 10 minutes, I completed absorbing 10 [Vitality], 10 [Energy] and 7[Strength] cores. Now I am left with only 1 [Energy] core on my hand.
I stood ad continued climbing the stairs as my wolves followed me. After 200 steps, I finally reached the second floor. The scenery wasn't that different than before with only fewer trees.
"Go and check the surrounding." With my order, my wolves scattered everywhere examing the surrounding. After a moment, I sensed my wolves battling with something.
I don't know how but I could feel my wolf's aura and differentiate it from other wolves. Not only that, I could feel them running, walking, and even fighting. So, I immediately called my wolves.
Calling them is easy, I just have to call all of the wolves on my mind and they will obey the command.
After a minute, all the wolves caught me. I looked and counted them all but one was missing. "Huh! Where is another one?" I asked the wolves but they couldn't answer me.
But suddenly, a sharp pain rushes to my mind. "ARG!" I held my voice but the pain was intense. After a moment, the pain subdued and I fell on the ground with my whole body soaking in sweat.
'What happened?!" I asked myself but I got the answer. "The missing wolf... died." I couldn't sense the last one. It was probably due to that, I got this headache.
I immediately stood and rushed to the last place, I got the signal from the wolf. The moment I reached there, my eyes widened. 5 wolves were chewing out the dead wolf.
Normally the body of a wolf disappeared when it died. But this wolf body didn't disappear, which would mean that it was my wolf.
Well, I stoped thinking and immediately ordered my wolves to attack. And in only 10 seconds, the fives wolves died, giving me their body and cores. I sighed and picked up the cores and continued walking.
[Summon] [Summon] [Summon]
With every chant, new forces appeared behind me, following me and obeying my order. In just 5 hours of exploring, I reached the boss room. It isn't exactly fast as a party of E-rankers could just defeat this dungeon in 2 to 3 hours and B-rankers in one hour.
Not to mention A ranker could beat it in 30 minutes and an S in just 10 minutes. So, this wasn't any huge accomplishment but a single hunter E rank hunter defeating a whole dungeon is probably rare.
As I thought this, I reached the last floor with 100 wolves behind me and 73 cores on my backpack also with fifty low-grade items.
Creek!
I opened the door as the sound echoed. Before entering myself, I led 20 wolves to go ahead of me for safety reasons. I am stronger than before with my strength increased by 2 times. Killing a single wolf would be easy but any more than that then I am screwed.
Also, a boss is many times powerful than a normal monster wolf. So, being cautious wouldn't do any harm.
After the wolves entered the room, I followed them. The moment I stepped inside, I saw a huge wolf probably 20 times bigger than me and 15 times bigger than these wolves. It looked at me with its fierce eyes.
Its appearance looked familiar to normal wolves with only marks on its face as different. Its huge sharp claws and sharp fangs with its deadly strength could kill thousands of people in one go.
A chill ran down my spine as I wondered how powerful a monster would be in the bigger ranking dungeon. A smile leaked out as I stare at the wolf.
All hundreds of my wolves walked ahead of me as I rode a single wolf to look at the battle and give strategy to the wolves.
The boss wolf stared at my wolves and leaked its deadly aura. I could also feel its strength. I immediately ordered my wolves to charge at the boss wolf and they all rushed at it.
They all attacked the wolf and the boss wolf took the attack and counterattack them with its claws. Ten wolves flew and hit the walls. They all got healed by my energy but my energy ran dry. A small pain rushed to my head but I endure it.
My energy also increased slowly but many of my wolves were getting injured and without any mana, they were all lying on the ground.
I immediately ordered some of my wolves to attack it from behind while some of the wolves will attack head-on. With that, they followed my plan and attacked from behind.
The boss wolf was also injured but it wasn't serious until now. Five wolves attacked it back from behind and seriously injured it.
The boss wolf jumped from the area and fell back with its back injured. Blood spurted out from its back and it looked changed into deadly seriously. It frowned and opened its mouth.
HOWLLL!!!
It let out a loud deafening sound. Soundwaves flowed out to my wolves with its full speed which resulted in some of my wolves flying and hitting the wall. The ceiling also cracked and rocks started felling.
I immediately order my wolves to finish the boss wolf as I also order the wolf I am riding to avoid getting hit by the rocks.
I also put all of the injured wolves in the summon storage. The remaining wolves charged at the boss wolf and attacked it. Because of losing too much blood and energy, the boss wolf couldn't counter.
And after a second, it let out its small death cry and died. I quickly fall from the wolf's back and rushed at the dead boss wolf. With my hand on its head, I chanted my skill and summoned the boss wolf.
The boss wolf's injury healed and it stood with its eye opened.
"Wow!" My eyes lit with excitement, I smiled and patted the boss wolf's head and collected the dropped item. My eyes widen and a big smile formed on my face when I saw a book on the floor.
"IT'S A SKILL BOOK!!!!" I let out a shout as I picked the book.
[Roar of the wolf: With this skill, the caster can speak in a loud voice which will produce sound waves and hit the enemy.
Required: 2 mana per use.
Rank:D]
"Hmm." I read the skill description. "What should I do? Do I sell it or learn it?" I fell into a conflict. If I learn this skill then I need extra energy. But my energy is limited and healing the wolf takes most of my energy.
So, I wouldn't have any energy left to use this skill and if I sell it, I can get money to buy an E rank skill suitable for me. But I need a D-rank skill to promote into a D-rank hunter.
"What should I do?" While agonizing over what to do, a small window suddenly popped.
[Do you want to use this skill on your summon. (Yes) / (No)]
"Hmm... Yes." I accepted. I was still a little nervous to let the skill book go but to my surprise, I learned this skill, and another skill also got added to my status.

[Skill(s): (Summon+), (D-Roar of the Wold)]

"So, my summon could also use skill then." With that, I looked at my summon before another window appeared startling me.

"Wow... These wolves also have stats."
With that, I left the boss room and entered the room, situated corner of the boss room. A small blue crystal was kept in the middle in a very big transparent glass. I touched the glass while being very happy finally to be able to defeat the boss and the dungeon alone.
With some hardship, I gained many monsters as my fighter. My mind and soul felt with happiness and excitement about going on the next journey to the next dungeon.
With those thoughts in mind, I put all of my summoned in my storage and teleported back to the dungeon entrance.
