[Currently, 50 soldiers are alive with 16 seriously injured, 25 injured and 9 in good condition]

"Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!" Kin shouted then took a sword, six medicines and a fire bomb magic scroll. Kin immediately ran to take the torch at the mouth of the cave and entered the cave. The other soldiers were stunned to see a pot-bellied man with his face mostly covered by bangs suddenly screaming and running blindly into the cave.

After a moment, Ai called out to the soldiers around her, "For the injured, grab food, water, and medicine from this supply box. Guarda, help take care of them," she directed, her voice steady. Pointing to Clark and three soldiers still in good condition, she commanded, "You guys, follow me."

Ai, Clark, and three other soldiers took some torches that were near the mouth of the cave and ran after Kin.

Kin continued to run into the darkness of the cave. He ran non-stop while looking at the condition of the soldiers from the quest. After five minutes, he began to slow down, attempting to catch his breath. As he walked, he heard the clash of swords and heavy breathing. Picking up his pace, Kin spotted the light of a torch about 50 meters ahead. Three injured soldiers were seen holding back a large wolf. The wolf turned his back in the direction of Kin. So It couldn't notice Kin. However, 3 injured soldiers noticed Kin's presence, then they tried to distract the wolf.

Kin quickly dropped his torch and took out a sword from his bag. Kin holds the sword with both hands. He tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword and aimed the blade.

With precision, Kin's sword found its mark, piercing the wolf's neck.

[The enemy is unaware of your existence. You hit a vital area. Critical Strike. You have inflicted damage to the enemy by 56,000]

Kin's hand felt the resistance when his sword managed to pierce the wolf's neck. A splash of blood came out from it. Then with trembling hands, he pulled out his sword. The wolf fell and shattered into dust.

[The black wolf is dead.]

[You killed the black wolf. You get 112,000 exp, 1 black wolf skin]

Kin was silent for a few moments then came to his senses when he saw three injured soldiers trying to stand up. He immediately took out the medicine and handed it to the three soldiers. But one of the soldiers restrained Kin's hand.

"We can make it out to get more help. Please, give the medicine to our friend inside who is seriously injured."

The three of them started walking towards the exit of the cave. Kin continued to pay attention to the backs of the three soldiers. He took a deep breath, picked up the fallen torch, then continued further into the darkened depths.

Kin had been walking through the cave for another 15 minutes after meeting the three injured soldiers. He still had not found any signs of other soldiers. Five minutes later, he noticed the cave start to widen but he didn't know how big it was because it was so dark. He could only tell that the light from the torch he was holding couldn't illuminate the cave walls on any side of the cave.

Suddenly Kin heard the sound of claws scratching the ground in front of him. Moments later, he saw a big wolf running towards him. In a panic, he ran to his right while still focusing on the wolf that was trying to chase him. Unable to see his footing in the dim light, he fell and rolled several meters. At the same time, the wolf approached him and jumped to scratch him. Suddenly sword passed over Kin's head and someone's voice could be heard.

"Punishing swing." The sword moved horizontally and slashed at the wolf. One of the wolf's front legs was cut off and it fell. A few seconds later a male soldier appeared and jumped from one of the rocks in the cave.

"Fatal blow." A spear pierced the wolf's back and the wolf died. A moment before the wolf died, it let out a loud howl. Suddenly there were five pairs of bright red eyes looking at Kin.

"Are you alright?" The soldier holding the spear asked Kin while continuing to pay attention to the five pairs of eyes that were looking at them.

Suddenly Kin was helped to his feet by one of the soldiers and five other soldiers appeared beside Kin. Kin realized that these soldiers were those who entered the cave. He immediately took out medicine from his supply pouch.

"I was ordered by Captain Ai to deliver these medicines." Kin handed over six medicines to a soldier carrying a spear named Ryu.

"We only need 5 medicines, and can you give it to our friend behind that rock." He pointed at a big rock near him.

"And for the last one, I think it better to give it to another team. There is a team led by Captain Milovat and are currently heading towards the deepest part of this cave."

Kin went to the big rock where Ryu pointed and handed 5 medicines to a soldier who was waiting behind the rock. After giving the medicines, Kin went back to Ryu and the 6 other soldiers standing around him. A bowman, an axeman, two with swords and shields, and two with greatswords each looked exhausted, longing for a rest.

They needed some rest but it had to be delayed because of five pairs of red eyes that had been watching them that began to be seen more clearly. The five pairs of eyes began to show their sharp fangs and began to howl. Its howl made Kin tremble. He almost dropped his sword and torch he was holding.

Kin's fear was noticed by Ryu, then he took the torch that was in his pocket and lit it with the flame from Kin's torch. Other soldiers also did the same thing. And right now 8 torches were lighting up the cave so that the size of the area could be seen more clearly. It turns out the area where Kin is right now is quite large. Approximately the size of a football field. Behind Kin and the soldiers, there was a large rock that protected the other soldiers who were seriously injured.

One of the torches was handed over to the soldier who was hiding behind a rock. Four torches were thrown to cover the wolves' path so they would only focus on Kin, Ryu and the other five soldiers. Two other torches were thrown to the mouth of the cave where Kin had previously come. Meanwhile, another one was thrown to another cave mouth area.

Ryu tapped Kin's soldier and then pointed at the torch at the mouth of the cave opposite where Kin came. "That's where Captain Milovat's team went. Deliver the remaining supplies there."

The way to the place Ryu pointed to needed to pass through the five wolves in front of them. Like it or not, one of the wolves needs to be killed first. The pack of wolves, Kin and the soldiers began to freeze and wait for each other's actions. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of soldiers behind the rocks healing themselves and the sound of breathing from the wolves.

Kin took a deep breath and then threw the torch in his hand at the leading wolf. His torch almost hit it head but before it hit, it jumped. Tara drew her bow. She aimed where the wolf would be landing and she released his arrow.

"Charge arrow." The arrow moved quickly and managed to hit the wolf's right eye.

The wolf whose eye was hit by the arrow let out a loud howl and lay on the ground. Then four other wolves charge at them. Two soldiers carrying greatswords Iyan and Smok immediately stepped forward and blocked the attack from the four wolves. Due to the wounds on their thighs, their footing began to falter and they were pushed backward. Ryu with the right timing thrust his spear at one of the wolves but the spear missed and only left a scratch on the wolf's body. Nuar quickly continued the attack and tried to slash the wolf that was scratched by Ryu but the agile creator managed to avoid all of Nuar's attacks.

The other three wolves focused their attacks on Iyan. One of the wolves managed to tear his right arm, causing the grip on his sword to come loose and the sword fell to the ground. Yong tried to slash the wolves that were attacking Iyan with his sword but the wolf jumped back to avoid his attack. From behind the wolves, Gon and his ax were ready to attack.

"Punishing swing." Gon's ax aims at the body of one of the wolves. This wolf was hit by Gon's attack and the sound of bones breaking was heard and the wolf was thrown away. Two other wolves step back and notice the wolf that was hit when Gon has split and shattered into dust.

Inside this cave suddenly split into two fights. Ryu and Nuar fight a wolf, and the other fight is Gon and Smok against two wolves. During this fight, a soldier named Yong secretly tried to circle the wolves that Gon and Smok were facing. He then slashes them from behind. The two wolves did not notice Yong's arrival from behind and he used "Backstab".

Yong moved his sword at one of the wolves. Just before his sword slashed one wolf, the wolf whose eyes had been shot out by Tara got up and scratched Yong's back. Yong, who didn't realize it, didn't have time to dodge and suffered deep wounds. He fell unconscious. After that, the direction of the fight suddenly changed.

Ryu, who saw the current situation, shouted to Kin. "What are you doing?! Go quickly and help Captain Milovat. We can hold these wolves."

Kin paid close attention to the current situation. Breaking through these wolves seemed possible. But these soldiers will likely die. What should I do? What should I do?

Kin became even more panicked when he saw the current conditions. Amid Kin's panic, Tara fired several arrows at the wolves that Gon and Smok were facing, but none of the arrows hit the target. Even so, the arrows helped Gon and Smok so they could carry Yong to a safer place. After that, Gon and Smok also helped take Iyan to a safer place. During the rain of arrows shot by Tara, Kin realized that the wolf whose right eye had been stuck with an arrow reacted too late when the arrow was aiming from its right side. Suddenly His panic subsided, he took a deep breath, seeking an angle. When the wolf jumped to avoid Tara's arrow Kin used "Pierce"

[Pierce]

He jumped, driving the sword into the wolf's ribs.

[The enemy is unaware of your existence. You hit a vital area. Critical Strike. You have inflicted damage to the enemy by 28,000]

When he hit the wolf, the wolf attacked back. It claw hit Kin right in the chest. But luckily the claw hit Kin's chest protector. And the Impact of the attack made him fly.

[You suffered damage of 5,000]

Kin's chest was not torn, but his ribs and other parts of his body hurt. But as a result of Kin's attack the wolf had died and shattered into dust.

[The black wolf is dead.]

[You contributed to killing the black wolf. You get 56,000 exp, 1 black wolf skin]

Now there were only three wolves left in front of Kin and the five soldiers.

The three remaining wolves suddenly jumped away from Kin and the soldiers. Kin thought the wolves had given up and started to relax his body. But Ryu, Gon, Smok, Nuar, and Tara looked more tense every time the wolves got further away. Kin ignored the five soldiers who suddenly became tense and walked over to pick up the torch he had thrown in the fight earlier.

Tara suddenly screamed. "They are starting to attack! Get ready!"

The three wolves that had been running away suddenly ran very fast towards them. Ryu ran and pulled Kin to the back, and then Gon and Smok stood at the front and positioned their weapons like shields. Behind them stood Ryu, Nuar, and Kin. And at the very end, Tara started aiming at the three wolves with her arrow.

"Charge arrow." Tara released her arrow quickly, but the wolves's reaction was faster so they managed to avoid Tara's arrow. The three wolves got closer and lunged toward Kin and the five soldiers. Gon and Smok manage to hold two wolves. Ryu and Nuar quickly attacked the wolves that were being held by Gon and Smok. Their attacks hit both wolves but nothing fatal. One remaining wolf suddenly jumps over Gon and Smok straight at Tara. Kin, who was closest to Tara, was unable to react to the wolf's attack, and the wolf managed to attack Tara. She was blown away by the wolf's scratches. The formation became broken.

Kin felt guilty as Tara lay injured, a result of his failure to shield her from the wolf's attack. Watching her vulnerable figure, he couldn't shake the weight of responsibility pressing on his conscience.

After successfully attacking Tara the three wolves then moved away from Kin, Ryu, Nuar, Gon and Smok. Kin as quickly as he could, picked up Tara and moved her to a safer place. After the three moved away, they ran towards them again. Kin, Ryu, Gon and Smok had made the same formation, but Tara's arrows which previously could slow down the wolves' movements were no longer there. So the movements of the three wolves were faster than before. Suddenly from one of the cave mouths.

Someone's voice suddenly can be heard from a quiet far away. "Arrow shower." Arrows flew to them and hit the three wolves. The movements of the three wolves slowed down. At that moment Clark appeared and swung his sword. "Punishing swing." His sword hit the backs of the three wolves at the same time. The effect of Clark's attack made three wolves bounce toward Ryu, Nuar, Gon and Smok. They quickly attacked the wolves at the same time.

Ryu used "Fatal blow", Gon and Smok used "Punishingswing" and Nuar used "Slash". Their attacks managed to hit two of the threewolves. The last wolf successfully dodged their attack. But suddenly Aiappeared and she used "Pinpoint Strike". Her rapier pierced through the lastwolf. Then the three wolves shattered into dust.
