This time the man-wolf was distracted by Fire Signs. Before he could twist his body, the dagger penetrated the man-wolf's broken ribs into his beating heart.

The wolf's wail paused for a moment, and Dick felt that the power on its claws continued to become smaller. He exerted force on his hand and pushed the long sword forward again.

This time there was no obstacle, the silver sword completely penetrated the human wolf's heart.

'Bah', blood spattered several feet.

With the sword drawn out, the man-wolf lowered his head and remained motionless.

Feeling the kill prompt from the panel, Dick took a long breath.

Then, enduring the pain and exhaustion on his head, he picked up the black sword that the wolf had used before:

It just so happens that my steel sword has been damaged, so I should treat it as an apology.

My condition is not good now, so I have to run away quickly.

Then, he walked up to senior brother Kayn who was leaning in front of the boulder, and looked down at him condescendingly without saying a word.

"What, Dick? Do you want to kill me?" Kayn said angrily, "This is your good opportunity, do it."

Dick is speechless.

At this time, there was a slight tremor on the ground, and the tremor became stronger and stronger.

Dick looked into the distance and saw several vague figures appearing, some of them huge, as high as five or six meters high.

He knew that the fighting here had alerted other monsters in the mire.

The next moment, Kayn felt that his vision was changing rapidly.

Looking down at the flying grass, Kayn clenched the war blade with both hands. "Dick, won't you kill me? You know there won't be such a good opportunity in the future, this is your best chance to kill me."

"Cut the nonsense."

Then Dick moved his shoulders again, got into a comfortable position, carried Kayn, and quickly ran towards the portal.

When they got close, they jumped hard and the two people suddenly disappeared from the world.

And only half a minute later, several monsters came here.

The leading monsters were extremely huge in stature, with scrawled looks, and only one eye in the middle of their foreheads. They were holding huge white bone clubs made of unknown materials in their hands, and were looking at the corpse of the wolf in the center of the battlefield in confusion.

"Give."

A sharp and harsh sound sounded among the monsters, and a monster with a snake head came out of it.

Wearing a large green robe, a tail similar to a lizard is trailing behind him.

The monster spoke again, "I didn't expect that Warwick was actually killed by a demon hunter who broke into the swamp. Those two people should be the ones who escaped through the portal. Go and chase him."

The one-eyed giant nodded and moved a few steps before reaching the teleportation gate.

But with a 'boom' sound, the portal exploded.

The snake-headed monster looked at the debris on the ground and became even more angry. It shouted loudly, "These cunning humans actually blew up the portal. One day, one day..., this matter is not over yet."

Dick wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the shattered portal in front of him, secretly thinking that he was lucky.

Then he turned around and came to Kayn who was leaning against the wall, "Can you still have a bottle of [Swallow Potion]?"

Kayn pointed at the protruding purple blood vessels on his face. "I won't be able to drink another bottle in a short time."

Dick nodded, took out a bandage from the space bag, tied the wound on Kayn's waist several times, and took out some food and handed it over, who took it and ate it with big mouthfuls.

After a while, Dick supported Kayn and slowly walked out of the cave.

When he passed by the cave and saw the corpses of the wild wolves, Dick wanted to take them away, but then he thought, it was safe here anyway, and he would ask Cross House Inn's boss to find someone to take them away.

The two walked out of the cave, but saw that it was already dark.

I walked along the path to the courtyard of the hotel and knocked on the door.

"Who is it? It's so late." The voice of the young waiter came from inside.

"It's me, Dick." Dick replied in a deep voice.

In just a moment, the door was opened, and the waiter looked at the two demon hunters dripping with blood and dressed in tatters with shock on their faces.

"Master Dick, what... is going on with you two?"

"Stop asking, have you prepared a room for both of us?"

"Ready."

"That's fine, we'll talk about everything in the morning. By the way..."

Then Dick told the waiter the location of the cave, "There are dozens of wild wolves inside, which are also good food in winter. Don't forget to bring them back. Can you use them as our accommodation and food for the next few days?"

"Of course." The waiter agreed quickly.

Then Dick helped Kayn back to the room, closed the door and left.

Kayn looked at the closed door and smiled, "Dick, interesting, interesting."

At this time, in Dick's room, he had taken off his armor and was chewing dry food. The injuries he suffered in the swamp were almost healed under the influence of Self-Healing Ability.

It is estimated that we can rush back to Odinburg tomorrow morning, just in time to get rid of the seriously injured Kayn.

This Toolman is easy to use, but a seriously injured Toolman will be a drag on him, so he can just stay here to recuperate.

Just thinking about it, Dick carefully looked at the prompts on the panel:

Kill Wild Wolf X43 and get Energy Points X80.

Kill Werewolf X3 and get Energy Points X40.

Kill Wolf X1 and get Energy Points X60.

Complete the commission and get Energy Points X120. This time you get Energy Points X300. The current total is Energy Points X500.

Huh?

The number of these wild wolves and Werewolf should include those in the cave and Mist Swamp.

Wild wolves are easy to deal with, and the Energy Points I gave you is enough. Do you want to find a wolf pack to do a lot of work in the future?

But Dick thought about it and gave up. Not to mention that wolves are also a part of the ecology. Even large numbers of wolves are difficult to find.

The Energy Points obtained after killing the wolf was not as much as expected, but after thinking about it, it is quite good for a single individual to provide so much energy.

The strength of these monsters does not mean that they are directly accumulated according to the number of individual Energy Points, nor does it mean that a pack of wolves is more powerful than a human wolf.

Although the more Energy Points you get from killing, the more ferocious the monster will be, but Dick always feels that the higher the level of Monster Energy Points will be, the slower it will rise.

You can't just kill one monster and get hundreds of Energy Points!

As for the final completed commission, it should be Sheriff Darwin's [Werewolf Commission]. Unexpectedly, my unintentional and casual approach would yield additional rewards.

It seems that completing the commission is currently the better way to obtain Energy Points, and the reward obtained should be measured according to the harm caused by the monster.

Then, how to distribute these five hundred Energy Points?

Do you want to save some more and upgrade directly to [Swordsmanship]?

Forget it, I'm going back soon anyway, and I might face the crisis of Witcher Order, so I'll upgrade [Mind Shockwave] first.

In an instant, there were only 100 Energy Points left on the panel, and [Mind Shockwave] was upgraded to [Elite Level].

While the impact range is increased by two meters, the damage is also enhanced, making it easier to deal with Humanoids-shaped monsters. Even the slowing effect on large monsters is more obvious.

After swallowing the last bite of food in his mouth, Dick turned off the lights and fell down. After a while, a slight snore sounded.
