Peter gritted his teeth when he saw the group of wolves rushing towards him. He saw the same information on them as the previous wolves but the number was more than double. He took a deep breath and activates his Spirit.
"Beast Armor- White Fox"
The white petals surrounded his body and covered him into armor. As soon as those boots appeared, he gazed at the number of wolves while turning his head at Alice. He thought he could use her strength but it seems she would be rather useless on this dungeon.
"Do everything to protect yourself!"
Saying those words, Peter dashed towards the wolf. With his improved agility, he moved like the white flash as held a sword in his hand. This was the same sword given by the system. As for another sword, he gave it to Alice.
While killing those wolves, he realized his EXP was rapidly rising. Each strike was enough to take the life of those wolves. But, he knew this won't be enough to reach the fifth level unless kills some of the wolves from the third wave.
"Blazing Strike!"
Two wolves suddenly pounced towards him from behind. But, Peter had already seen them. He had memorized their movement in his mind so he somersaulted. When his body was upside-down on air, he slashed his sword, condensed with a flame arc.
Bang! Thud! Thud!
[Earned 40 EXP] [Earned 40 EXP]
The flame sword arc strikes their middle body and slammed them on the ground with intense force. Not only the strike burn them, but it also broke some of their bones, killing them. As soon as he landed on the ground, a wolf shot a powerful wind slash.
But, Peter also saw this coming and ducked on his knees. He swung his sword once again and took the life of another wolf. Peter felt a little bit of burden on his stamina and the white petals also started decreasing. He knew he didn't have time.
He wasn't fighting against the wolf as much he was fighting against the time. He can't use his spirit continuously. It takes a long time to restore unless he improves his spirit. If it wasn't for the Light Spirit Grass, he was sure it wouldn't even last this long with a single spirit.
He hurriedly killed more and more wolves. With his immense speed, it was near to impossible for these wolves to catch him especially when he had already recorded their movements and positions in his mind.
In this battle, he avoided using much of his mana and internal energy. The only thing he relied on was his spirit. Finally, when he killed the last wolf, he found his armor had completely disappeared. But for a moment, he frowned.
He knew he hadn't missed the movement of those wolves but he only killed twenty-four wolves instead of twenty-five. But, when he turned his head, he saw Alice covered in blood and wound. There was a wolf lying near her foot, dead.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on his lips as he shook his head.
'It seems I still lack proper concentration. I can't believe I let one of them escape my field of vision. But, I was only focusing on those wolves who came after me. Next time, I can't make the same mistake. I must take care of every wolf.'
With these kills, his EXP shot up to the roof. But, it was still a little far from the limit. He took a deep breath as he saw the new notification appearing in front of him.
[Second Level- Completed

Dungeon Levels- Three
First Level Completion- 10 Wolves (Complete)
Second Level Completion- 25 Wolves (Complete)
Third Level Completion- 50 Wolves & Boss (Incomplete)]
But, the second later, the same message popped up.
[Third Level- Activated

Second Level Completion- 25 Wolves (Complete)
Third Level Completion- 50 Wolves & Boss (Incomplete)]
'Damn! This is hampering my stamina. I can't fight properly without rest. But, how can I rest in the middle of the battle?'
'This time, I must push myself to the limit and complete this dungeon. I will get a chance to rest after completing this dungeon and before I enter the Hidden Room..... At least, I think I will get.'
Peter felt even more frustrated when he realized he had no choice at all but go all out. He couldn't test his limits rather he must push past his limits.
Soon, the army of five wolves appeared in his field of vision. At the same time, another wolf appeared. It was bigger than other wolves. And, it was a little similar to the wolf that almost killed him on the earth.
'This brings backs bad memories.' Peter did feel the rise of his emotions but at this moment, his killing intent was over the rooftop. It felt like he was hungry for this wolf's blood. His fist trembled a little as the internal energy burst out of his cells and entered his blood veins.
[Creature- Wolf (Lv.5)
Rank- Common]
[Creature- Wolf (Lv.5)
Rank- Leader]
This time every wolf was level five and more importantly, the main wolf ranked leader. He knew something was off just when he saw the wolf. The leader normally possesses an enormous strength over his fellow group.
Internal Energy reached out his fist and all of it increased his physical strength. But, he carefully used only four points of internal energy. It increased his strength by four points. But, Peter wasn't satisfied.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Splash!
When he tried to access mana, the wolves suddenly moved. They were still in his field of vision so he saw two wind arcs moving from straight vertically and horizontally. But when he jumped sideways to dodge it, the corner of the arc still slashed his cheeks.
It wasn't that he didn't move on time. Rather, it was the attack. It was twice as fast as level four. He wasn't ready for such attacks. But, this gave him enough time to access the mana into his body. As he landed on the ground, he pressed his foot and dashed towards the five wolves in front of him.
Due to his increased strength, his agility was affected as well. He was able to reach the wolf faster than they could react. He held the sword horizontally and slashed it towards the wolves.
"Blazing Strike!"
The sword released a flaming arc that moved with incredible speed.
Roar!
But, suddenly those wolves roared and formed a hurricane. They pushed the hurricane against the flaming arc. But, it was unable to stop the flaming it. It slashed through it and moved towards the wolf.
Unfortunately, that hurricane still made the flaming arc lose most of its flame. The attack only hit the wolf in the middle.
Bang!
The flames struck its chest but still couldn't damage him. It only burned the part of its chest. But until then, Peter was already at the top of the wolf with his sword heated to five hundred degrees Celsius. He had spent another two points of mana for this.
"Barbecue Grilling Strike!"
Splash!
"Bone Crushing Fist!" "Vein Splitting Palm!" "No More Pride Kick!"
As soon as he landed on the ground, Peter thrusts one more point of internal energy into his fist and increases his strength. He clenched his fist and slammed it on the head of the wolf nearest to him. He broke its teeth and slammed them against another wolf.
Another wolf slammed its claw but Peter dodged it while laying his head low and moving towards it. He puts another point of internal energy into his palm and slammed it at the chest. His didn't break its bone rather the internal energy passed inside its chest and split the veins near its heart.
But, that didn't there. He turned around and slammed his leg on another wolf's lower bottom. The strike sent the wolf to the ceiling while crushing the balls hidden inside its body.
[Your EXP has reached the limit. Would you like to level up?]
"Yes!" Peter instantly replied as soon as the notification appeared. At the same time, he felt his body changing. The cells started overflowing with internal energy while the core started expanding. The mana gradually filled the core.
His physical strength improved as well. At the same time, the screen panel appeared in front of his eyes.

'95%! That means I need a simple push to raise Lesser Demon Transformation Skill to level two. Then I can use dominating force as well. But, this is still going to be hard.' Peter looked at his surroundings as forty-five wolves started him.
But he was relieved that Alice had hidden well behind the walls. As long as she doesn't become his burden, he can still finish this easily. Or, at least he thinks.
