Chapter 48: Wolf Massacre

Having finished preparations for the hunt, we immediately headed to the wolf habitat we had scouted.

Surprisingly, the distance wasn’t far.

There was a reason we’d encountered wolves so often.

“As expected, they seem to rest mostly during the hot daytime and are active from evening till morning.”

“Just as Hilde-ssi mentioned.”

Hilde-ssi and Shin Seom-hwa, standing behind me, nodded at my words.

We had already researched the wolves’ physique, habits, and hunting methods.

Honestly, I felt we might lose, but there was no harm in being cautious.

“Even from this distance, the wolves can’t seem to smell us?”

“The deodorizer must be working.”

▶Odorless Deodorizer

Grade: E

Description: A deodorizer that can be conveniently used outdoors. When used, it eliminates scent for 3 hours.

Thanks to the deodorizer obtained from the gacha, we could avoid detection by scent.

A regular deodorizer wouldn’t have been enough to fool a wolf’s nose.

As expected, gacha items really are good.

“…….They even have convenient items like that in the gacha?”

“Well, yes.”

“Hmph~ Is that so…….”

Shin Seom-hwa’s gaze felt slightly sharp.

I had told her about my gacha ability as well.

It seemed difficult to keep it a secret considering our future life together.

Fortunately, Shin Seom-hwa understood once I explained it properly.

‘You kept such an important ability hidden all this time? Well, of course, given the circumstances, I understand.’

‘Hey, HEY, let go! This won’t… gulp oof, you really… mmph….’

‘Haaang! Aahng! Nnngh… it’s too deep…..’

It seemed to have ended there, but her last remark, which I thought was nothing, ended up biting me back.

‘So, did you reveal it to Hilde-ssi from the beginning?’

“Well, yes.”

After that, Shin Seom-hwa was in a worse mood than the day after she’d passed out from being penetrated too deeply.

I cleared my throat and changed the subject.

“Anyway, thanks to that, the ambush was successful.”

“Whether we’re the hunters or the hunted is decided by whoever strikes first.”

Hilde-ssi narrowed her eyes, staring intently at the wolves.

“With their jump distance, they shouldn’t be able to reach here in one go.”

“You can tell that too?”

“I’ve seen plenty of wolves, you see.”

Hmm, is that so.

Then there’s no problem attacking them right here.

‘They aren’t even on guard like the goblins.’

Well, they probably wouldn’t expect to be attacked in the first place.

There’s nothing around here that would make the wolves feel the need to stand guard.

‘But not anymore.’

I took out Adol from my inventory.

Holding the enhanced Adol made me feel even stronger.

No, it actually allowed me to exert a higher level of power thanks to the increase in my abilities.

“Alright, as we discussed, let’s use my skill as the starting signal.”

Shin Seom-hwa nodded.

Despite everything, her role was crucial in this hunt.

“Domain Declaration.”

My newly acquired skill, ‘Behold, the Emperor’s Divine Authority’.

Using this skill increases allies’ combat power by 10% and weakens enemies by 10%.

Simply put, it provides a buff effect of 20%.

A blue, dome-shaped domain, visible only to me, spread out widely.

Simultaneously, golden threads unfurled from Shin Seom-hwa’s hands.

-Chaaaaak!

The threads, made of mana extending rapidly, were like blades.

The thin lines touched, and in an instant, the wolves’ bodies were severed.

“Kyaaaaaaah!”

The wolves’ heads and legs were cut off, and screams echoed.

It didn’t take long for sprays of blood to fill the clearing.

“Wow.”

Hilde-ssi let out a soft gasp upon seeing the scene.

‘Come to think of it, this is the first time Hilde-ssi is seeing Shin Seom-hwa fight directly.’

It wasn’t for nothing that she was mentioned as the youngest Team Leader and the next executive director in our company.

Of course, there were factors like her beauty, charisma, and popularity.

But the deciding factor was her ability.

Queen of Webs, the Queen of Threads.

The sight of golden threads slaughtering monsters was truly beyond description.

Although she had a weakness against strong opponents, relying on matchups.

Against numerous weak monsters, there was no more overwhelming ability than this.

‘I wanted to become like this after seeing this.’

I won’t deny that Shin Seom-hwa’s figure made me horny and wanting her as my woman.

But the reason I managed to obtain her was this A-class ability.

“Hoo, it feels good to use it after a while.”

Shin Seom-hwa’s expression as she slaughtered the wolves looked cold, even chilling.

It was hard to believe she was the same woman who whimpered beneath me.

“Hilde-ssi, please provide escort.”

“Understood.”

This time, I entrusted Hilde-ssi with Shin Seom-hwa’s escort.

For a mage, especially one whose abilities consume significant stamina like Shin Seom-hwa, an escort watching their back is essential.

In society, I used to fulfill that role.

Of course, it was just a meat shield disguised as escort duty.

‘But today, I have things to do too.’

I kicked off the ground and dashed through the bushes.

The wolves weren’t idiots; they’d surely notice the direction the magic was coming from.

Even so, if we were focused on by concentrated attacks, we, being fewer in number, would be at a disadvantage.

This was meant to be a diversionary tactic.

‘Adol, Telekinesis.’

I threw Adol, imbued with the full power of Telekinesis.

Thwack!

Adol, which flew rapidly, blew off a wolf’s head.

While waiting for Adol to return, I drew a spear from my inventory and threw it.

The spear pierced another wolf cleanly.

Almost simultaneously, I threw Adol again as it returned.

“Kyaaaang!”

“Grrrrrr!”

Under the attacks coming from all directions, the wolves were thrown into confusion.

Despite being cunning and adept at pack hunting, they were still beasts.

They lacked the ability to cope with such a surprise attack, which even humans would find difficult to handle.

In an instant, the wolves began to be slaughtered.

【You have defeated an Ancient Wolf.】

【Your Stamina is slightly recovered.】

Even while running around frantically, I didn’t feel tired thanks to the new skill.

It was when we had significantly reduced the number of wolves.

“Kuaaaaaaah!”

Suddenly, a particularly large wolf let out a roar.

Looking at its hide and teeth, that must be the leader.

【The Ancient Wolf leader has roared.】

【The monsters’ morale is boosted.】

Its gaze fixed on Hilde-ssi, who had just stabbed and killed a charging wolf.

It seemed to have accurately pinpointed the direction the magic was coming from.

‘Moreover, the other wolves have already taken formation with just that one roar.’

Even if we had the advantage, it would become troublesome if they attacked strategically.

And what if they targeted Shin Seom-hwa, the mage…?

‘I have to kill it.’

Thump!

I kicked off the ground and shot forward like a bullet.

If that was indeed the wolf pack leader, the outcome of the hunt would depend on its death.

“Grrrrr?!”

The beast suddenly twisted its body upon seeing me emerge from the bushes beside it.

Changing its target immediately, it lunged towards me with its jaws agape.

‘It’s 1.5 times… no, maybe 2 times the size of the others.’

If it were me when I first arrived on the uninhabited island, I wouldn’t have stood a chance.

I would have had to run away with my tail between my legs.

But now, it was different.

Increased Strength stats, the Body Enhancement trait, the enhanced weapon, and the newly acquired skill.

I had grown at an unbelievable speed.

Enough to easily defeat even a boss monster like this!

‘Imbue my fist with Telekinesis…’

-KWAANG!!!

Using my right hand holding Adol as bait, I struck the beast’s jaw with my left.

The sound of bone shattering and the wolf’s head snapped back.

As if its massive size was a lie.

The wolf leader fell in a single blow.

Cooong!

‘Weak.’

After that, it was too easy.

Having lost their leader so anticlimactically, the wolves became disorganized and were hunted down without a single survivor.

【Level Up!】

【Level Up!】

【Level Up!】

【You have successfully subjugated the wolf pack!】

【Survival Quest achieved!】

【You acquire 1000P!】

【Overwhelming Massacre!】

【Excellent Hunt, you acquire an additional 500P!】

【You acquired the special item ‘Robo’s Tooth’!】

【Quest Complete!】

【You have randomly acquired an Attack Skill!】

The barrage of messages was so overwhelming it made my eyes spin.

‘Whoa, this is a bit much.’

It’s nice that they’re congratulating me and giving rewards, but this is too chaotic.

As I barely managed to sort through the messages, Hilde-ssi and Shin Seom-hwa approached.

Both had blood splattered on their clothes from the fight.

“You… how did you do that just now?”

“Just now?”

“You took down that huge wolf in one hit.”

They both asked almost simultaneously.

I just shrugged casually.

“I guess I’ve gotten that strong.”

It was the literal truth, so I didn’t have much else to say.

It was true that I had grown purely stronger while living on this uninhabited island.

‘And I’ll get even stronger.’

I still don’t know what secrets this island holds, but…

The system is definitely trying to make me grow.

If it’s for my survival, I’ll just use it.

“Anyway, let’s go grab the dead wolves. These are valuable resources too.”

At my words, Shin Seom-hwa turned her head.

Seeing the wolf carcasses strewn everywhere, she clicked her tongue briefly.

“But how are we going to carry all this?”

“Why worry about that now?”

I opened my inventory and used Telekinesis.

Soon, the wolf carcasses began to gather around me.

---

‘Hmm, as expected, quantity is quantity. It’s taking a long time.’

After the wolf hunt, or rather, massacre, we began dismembering the carcasses we brought.

But the sheer volume meant we didn’t have enough time just to skin them.

Ultimately, we decided to finish the rest tomorrow.

‘Still, this means we have plenty of food now, and the danger has passed, so we’ve gained quite a bit of breathing room.’

Should I say we’ve overcome another hurdle, like after the goblin subjugation?

Now, all that’s left is to create the map.

As I stretched leisurely with a relieved heart.

“……Do you really have to do this?”

I turned my head at the voice I’d been waiting for.

However, the moment I saw her, I frowned slightly.

Shin Seom-hwa stood there, her face flushed red.

“I said I’d wait for you to shower, but I didn’t say you’d come wrapped in a towel.”

She was covered entirely in a towel.

Shin Seom-hwa let out a deep sigh at my words.

“Haa, she wasn’t like this at the company.”

“You were the one who said you’d grant any wish in return for the massage, Team Leader-nim.”

“……..I did say that, but I didn’t expect you to wish for something like this.”

“If not this, then what did you intend to do, Team Leader-nim?”

Shin Seom-hwa flinched, her face reddening further.

Judging by her expression, she didn’t seem inclined to say.

‘Well, she probably intended to offer the same ‘service’ Hilde-ssi did.’

Unfortunately, I wasn’t satisfied with just that.

Forcing Shin Seom-hwa to do things unimaginable in society was, frankly, more thrilling than I had anticipated.

“Haa…”

Finally, with a second sigh, she let the towel drop.

There stood Shin Seom-hwa, clad in a bunny girl outfit.

‘Wow.’

Her firm, perky buttocks and flawless thighs.

Her overflowing breasts were the very fantasy of a man.

But this bunny outfit was still incomplete.

“Why the hell does that damned gacha have items like this…”

“You shouldn’t be surprised by this much, you know?”

I said with a smile, applying gel to the rabbit-tail-shaped anal plug.
