章 20: Demon Lord? Check. Demon Lady? Check. Demonic Alpha? Cool.

Bob walked with a cold gleam in his eyes, the three wolves following behind him. So far, so good, he'd only managed to make one of them into his pet. The requirement was simply for the target he'd picked to accept, and the system indication arrived, "I only managed to get the Demonic Alpha."

The other two refused to be petted, and made him run in circles when he tried. So, he decided to ignore them and focus on the mission. Killing goblins? Easy as pie — well, pie was what the dozen or so goblins became for the wolves upon spawning.

Aside from the wyrms, the goblins were regulars — nothing had changed for them and Bob was thoughtful, 'What exactly where the requirements for facing a special type monster? Not only did the special type monster have unique skills, but they were very difficult to handle.'

Like that wisp. If not for the flame serpent fangs, he would've had no way of dealing with it.

"Okay, everyone halt. Darius and Demetrius stop chewing on that bone. Jacquelyn, stand with me and in front of them. You'll lead the charge and they'll provide backup. The monster in there may not be as weak as the others, so be prepared." Bob briefed them, slowly opening the door.

As soon as the door was fully open, the three wolves charged in at lightning fast speeds, dusting Bob in an instant. He blinked, then stepped inside after them. As soon as he walked into the room, an intense cold graced his skin, and the atmosphere changed, "It was high time the boss respawned."

Jacquelyn slowed and and Demetrius followed, leaving Darius charging on until it slammed into a wall with its head, crying out. Bob glanced around, wondering where the golem had spawned this time, but there was nothing in sight, 'Maybe the change in atmosphere was just my careless— oof!'

Bob felt a fist slam into his stomach, and he caved in, his eyes widening as he vomited blood, the gleam in his eyes as sharp as the edge of his dagger. The punch lifted Bob off his feet, and after a few seconds, Bob fell to his knees. He vomited more blood, clenching his hand into a fist.

"Extreme Dagger Manipulation!" Bob shouted, and blades flew out of his inventory, circling Bob as he stood to his feet. Suddenly, the blades struck something hard as and sparks flew, Bob's wolves attacked. Paws rained from the sky on the location, but they met nothing but air.

"Dealing 150 points of damage in an instant? Impossible." Bob searched the area with his gaze, a cold frown worn on his face, "The monster here should not be able to deal that amount of damage to me unless they are over Level 25. But, this is the first—"

Bob's blade slashed against a hard surface, and hearing the sound, Bob tilted his body over and he felt it — a punch moving straight forward at a fast speed, causing his heartbeat to spike. Bob was calm, rising to his feet then snapping his fingers, controlling his daggers to spread out.

"Controlling these daggers across a greater area is not easy. Demetrius, cover my blind spot and Darius keep your eyes peeled for light sparks. Uh, Jacquelyn!" Bob narrowed his gaze as it turned to him, then nodded, "You stay exactly where you are! Demetrius prepare a magic attack."

'Should I use [Light Bomb] or [Fierce Cry]?' Bob frowned as the wolves took positions, 'I don't know thee type of monster, or what type of attacks affect them. I could calculate the— whatever, I'm just going to use the two of them!'

A ball of light fell into Bob's hand, and he narrowed his gaze. Bob looked from left to right, and it had not showed it's face. Since it refused to make an appearance, Bob decided to drag it out of where its hiding and make it suffer a painful death, "Everyone, cover your eyes!"

⦗20 Mana Consumed!⦘

Bob's voice travelled like a raging storm, and the sound burst the ears of the three wolves. Even Bob was not spared from his attack, vomiting blood and staggering forward with a ringing inside his head, but he steeled his resolve and threw the bomb in his hand to the ground.

He turned around and closed his eyes, and the bomb exploded! As the light settled, Bob entered the offensive, spreading his daggers in a spinning frenzy in the room until he clashed with the tough surface, forming a frown on his face, "Found you!"

Bob circled the area with his daggers, closing in to attack! The three wolves recovered in a haste, and they rushed after Bob, passing him to reach the invisible monster. Demetrius reached it first, an intense light in its eyes as it slapped the invisible creature into the wall, breaking the illusion.

"The f— no, wait. We can hurt this one." Bob turned to Darius and seeing it already closing in for an attack, he shouted in a loud voice, "Use physicals! Use normal attack! Use whatever you have that is not magical attack! That thing negates magic damage!"

Before Darius could reach it, the golem rose from its position, its slender humanoid build stood brimming with a latent murderous intent, and it pulled out a sword from the sheath strapped to its waist, charging at Darius, and this stunned Bob, "Does this one not fear death?"

At the last moment, the golem turned invisible and left a thick gash across the side of Darius' fur, spilling blood all over the area. Bob stood with a cold gleam in his eyes watching this, "I had already used 50 Mana out of the 90 available… I can't spam both skills again…"

Jacquelyn leaped forth a second after the golem's vanishing, and swiped its claws at midair. Bob glanced at this and scoffed, 'She wouldn't be able to deal any damage to it without seeing where the monster had ran off— oh.'

"Oh wow. Wow. Wow, again." Bob blinked as Jacquelyn slid across the ground, the pieces of their assaulter — the golem — scattered to the ground around her. Darius retreated to a corner, and tried calming down whilst its wounds healed, whilst Demetrius stood with it, "I expected that."
