The First Dragon God

"More monsters?" Leo's brow furrowed as he picked up Nightshade from the table and gripped it tightly.

He knew that the situation was very dangerous as he could see the fear in Ms Ves's eyes. And the fact that she used a plural form meant that they are more than one.

"How many?" he asked, his voice calm despite the swirling emotions that he was feeling at the moment.

"Six. It's a pack of six wolves and its leader's level seems to be just be slightly lower than the Mutant Boar," Ves replied, as her face hardened.

She had been hoping that whatever it was that was stoping the wolves from attacking would continue to do so but it seems that she was asking for too much.

She knew that the only thing they can do right now is to fight the wolves head on—something she doesn't want to happen.

'I'm still yet to recover from my injury.'

Leo was surprised when he heard that the monsters in question is a pack of six wolves. He knew that the sounds from his and Ms Ves fight with the Mutant Boar would have already attracted the attention of any lifeforms in the vicinity.

Not only that, he knew that the blood that constantly bleeding out from the Mutant Boar's injury will also attract them. But what Leo didn't expect was for one to appear so fast.

Also, he was curious to know why so many animals that are supposed to be in the wild are in what that can be called a city. He wonders if there's a zoo nearby as it's the only that can explain everything.

But that wasn't important at the moment. What is more important right now is dealing with the wolf pack.

Thinking of this, Leo subconsciously looked at Ms Ves' bandaged hand, indicating that her injuries are yet to heal.

'It seems I would have to do it alone,' Leo said to himself

He was about to walk to the door when he was stopped by Ms Ves. He turned to look at her and he saw the look in her eyes that seems to be begging him not to go.

He wasn't sure if he was seeing it right but even if it's true, he knew that the only reason she would be showing such a reaction was because she was worried about his safety.

From what she said, the pack leader is two levels lower than the Mutant Boar they just fought, which means that the other five wolves in its pack would be at max, three level below it.

Though he knew that this might not be accurate but it was just him playing it safe.

With this, he could see why Ms Ves was worried. And with the fact that she won't be able to fight due to her injuries might have increased her worries.

"It's okay. I will be careful," Leo said, as he smiled at reassuringly.

Ms Ves sighed when she heard what he said. Of course, she knew that she won't be able to make him change his mind. It was the reason why she didn't want to tell him about them in the first place.

Remembering how badly he was injured during his fight, Ves hesitated a little to let him go but she knew she has to.

Ves smiled back at Leo and nodded at him, telling him to go.

Leo nodded back at Ms Ves and was about to leave, when he heard her telling him to wait.

"Wait here," she said and immediately rushed to her room.

She appeared seconds later with what to be two coloured glass balls in ger hands.

"Here, they seem to have come from the Mutant Boar. I don't know what they are and I know it's not the best time to give them to you but I think you should have them, as you might need them," she said, as she handed the glass balls over to him.

The two glass balls were something she saw lying beside the body of the Mutant Boar when she wanted to carry Leo. She had no idea what it was but she decided to pick it up as she felt it was important.

Leo took the blue colored glass balls and turned them over, looking at them curiously to know what they are.

As if to answer his question, the familiar windows appeared in his eyes.

On one of the glass balls was displayed [Skill Orb] and on the second was displayed [Equipment Orb].

Instinctively, without needing anyone to tell him what had to be done, he squeezed the two orbs and they shattered into motes of light, leaving two objects behind in their places.

In one is a set of sliver daggers and above them is a window displaying its information.

[Twin Fang Daggers (Rare): +10 Agility when equipped.]

In his second hand is a brown scroll, that had a blue aura around it, with its information being displayed above it.

[Seismic Stomp (Rare): The user slams the ground, releasing a shockwave that stuns enemies within 10 meters for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 15 seconds.]

Leo's eyes widened in surprise, then in realization when he read the information being displayed above the brown scroll.

From the description, he felt that this was the skill that the Mutant Boar used that made him unable to move.

'How do I learn it?' Leo thought to himself, as he squeezed the scroll but nothing happened.

"You just have to wish to learn it. It's that simple." He heard Tatiana's voice in his head.

He froze and slowly raised his head. Lo and behold, he saw the devil herself seated on the chair he was previously seated on, with Elda standing behind her as usual.

He saw her smiling at him and he heard her voice in his head.

"Missed me?"

He smiled and rolled his eyes at her question, before quickly turning his attention back to the scroll and he did as Tatiana said.

The next moment, the brown scroll followed the two blue orbs, turning into motes of lights.

[You learned an external active skill: Seismic Stomp. You can learn 4 more external active skills.]

Leo smiled brightened in happiness and in curiosity when he saw the message floating in front in his eyes.

Now, he has acquired a additional skill, he was naturally very happy. With this skill, even though he's outnumbered, he should be able to hold his ground against the wolf pack.

He turned his attention to the dual daggers in his hand and looked at Ms Ves who was still standing in front of him.

"Thanks Ms Ves. Though, you will have to keep this for yourself, I can't make use of it," he said, as he handed the daggers to her.

"Ok. But I can't use them. I will keep them for you later to decide later what to do with them," Ves said, as she collected the daggers from Leo.

Leo wanted to ask why Ms Ves can't use the daggers and he also wants to stop her from following him due to her injury, but he decided not to as there was something more important at the moment.

Immediately, he left the apartment, with Ms Ves following behind, and the two them made their way to the ground floor.

When they arrived at the ground floor, they saw a pack of wolves slowly circling a group of humans and the body of the Mutant Boar.

Immediately, sensing Leo's presence, they turned to look at him.
