Without hesitation, Jiang Han charged at the Gray Wolf. The wolf bared its fangs, viciously biting Jiang Han's arm just as he extended it, causing his health to drop by a tenth.

-78!

The next moment, as the Gray Wolf was about to release its bite and retreat, Jiang Han quickly grabbed its neck, spun around, and aimed the Gray Wolf at the Demonized Wolf King.

Seeing this, the Demonized Wolf King had to divert its sharp claws to avoid accidentally injuring its kin.

MISS!

The word "dodge" appeared above Jiang Han's head. By using the Gray Wolf to block the Demonized Wolf King's position, he successfully avoided a critical crisis.

It works!

Jiang Han's eyes lit up slightly.

The Demonized Wolf King gave up its attack, proving that Jiang Han's positioning tactic was somewhat effective.

"Awooo!"

The Gray Wolf, with its neck being squeezed, struggled and howled, trying to bite Jiang Han's arm to force him to let go.

However, Jiang Han completely ignored it, holding a sword in one hand and lifting the Gray Wolf with the other, bravely facing the Demonized Wolf King.

Fortunately, this was a game; in reality, he would never be able to hold and lift a Gray Wolf with one arm.

-105!

This time, Jiang Han took the initiative to attack, thrusting his sword heavily into the Demonized Wolf King's abdomen, drawing out a stream of blood and wounding it for the first time.

Instantly, the Demonized Wolf King's cold, scarlet eyes grew even more ferocious. Its claws swung down swiftly but stopped midway, as its kin was still being held hostage by the enemy.

What a despicable adventurer!

Taking this opportunity, Jiang Han used the Basic Combo skill again as soon as it cooled down, slashing the Demonized Wolf King twice with the Wild Bull Sword. When the opponent was ready to strike, he decisively used the Gray Wolf to force it to abandon its attack.

This scenario repeated over and over.

During this time, Jiang Han remained tense, fighting and retreating until he lured the Demonized Wolf King to a nearby giant rock, where he could safely attack.

80%!

60%!

Since Jiang Han didn't need to dodge, his attack frequency was quite impressive, and the Demonized Wolf King's health bar visibly decreased until it dropped to half. Suddenly, it erupted with a sinister red glow, seemingly completely enraged.

Seeing this, Jiang Han's heart skipped a beat, feeling a strange pressure enveloping him, as if the air had solidified, hindering his movements.

It seems that killing the BOSS won't be as easy as imagined!

"Ding!~"

System prompt: The Demonized Wolf King has used the skill [Bloodthirst], increasing attack by 15% and attack speed by 20% for 30 seconds!

"Ding!~"

System prompt: The Demonized Wolf King has used the skill [Wolf King's Intimidation], reducing your attack speed by 10% and movement speed by 10% for 30 seconds!

The Demonized Wolf King unleashed two consecutive skills, one to enhance itself and the other to weaken its enemy, making it quite troublesome.

To be safe, Jiang Han quickly swallowed a health potion, tightly gripping the Gray Wolf in his hand, and slashed with the Wild Bull Sword, taking away more of the Demonized Wolf King's health.

"Awooo!"

The Demonized Wolf King roared, its eyes filled with rage. Its cold, white claws swept across, tearing the struggling Gray Wolf into pieces, leaving a gruesome scene.

-1487!

An incredibly terrifying damage number appeared above the Gray Wolf's head, triggering a critical hit and killing it instantly!

"Ding!~"

System prompt: The Demonized Wolf King used the skill [Rending Claw], dealing 250% damage to the Gray Wolf, but it cannot act for 5 seconds!

"!!"

Finally, it turned on its own kind!

Jiang Han gasped, but he didn't waste the precious time the Gray Wolf had sacrificed itself to buy for him. Instead of retreating, he advanced, using Basic Combo again and attacking with all his might.

-76!

-81!

-102!

...

Although the Demonized Wolf King's buff skills were very powerful, fortunately, they didn't increase its defense, so Jiang Han found it not too difficult to break through.

After dealing with the kin held hostage by the adventurer, the Demonized Wolf King, once recovered after five seconds, locked onto Jiang Han, attacking with unprecedented speed.

-310!

With just one hit, Jiang Han's health dropped by more than a third!

Damn, it's so fierce?

Jiang Han quickly retreated to create some distance, using the nearby giant rock as an obstacle. When the Demonized Wolf King's jaws were ready, he dodged to the side, using the rock to maneuver around it.

Clearly, his foresight in luring the Demonized Wolf King to the obstacle wasn't in vain.

In fact, from the beginning, he never thought that simply using positioning would easily kill the BOSS. After all, having experienced the treacherous Novice Village, he had adapted to the game's "rhythm."

"Awooo!"

The Demonized Wolf King, unable to succeed in its attack, grew even more furious, but its destructive power wasn't enough to destroy the hard obstacles like rocks. Under Jiang Han's agile maneuvers, the skill's duration came to an end.

Meanwhile, Jiang Han kept using health potions and dodging until his health recovered to over 80%, then struck again. The Wild Bull Sword followed by Basic Combo increased his attack speed.

40%!

20%!

...

Jiang Han remained calm, not letting his guard down even as the BOSS's health bar neared the bottom. He used health potions as soon as their cooldown ended, until the Demonized Wolf King fell with a piercing howl, allowing him to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ding!~"

System prompt: You have killed the Bronze-Level BOSS [Demonized Wolf King], receiving rewards: Experience +2000, Reputation +500!

"Shua!"

Golden light scattered, and Jiang Han reached level 10!

"Ding!~"

System prompt: Congratulations on reaching level 10. You can leave the Novice Village and proceed to the town for a class change!

"Great, next I'll have to deal with the old man and soldiers in the Novice Village," Jiang Han thought, glancing at the Demonized Wolf King's corpse and spotting several silver coins and three pieces of equipment, feeling elated.

He bent down to pick them up and eagerly used the Scout Skill to check the equipment's attributes—

...

Three pieces of equipment, two of which are usable!

Although he hasn't changed classes yet, players can equip either daggers or swords, but since he has mastered Basic Swordsmanship, using sword-type weapons grants him an extra 5 attack points, making the Wild Bull Sword just as effective as the Wolf Fang Dagger.

Storing the Wild Bull Sword in his inventory, Jiang Han equipped the three pieces of gear and opened his character panel, feeling a significant improvement in all aspects—

[Yi Jiang Han Shui]

Level: 10

Health: 1050

Attack: 36-38

...

"Being a master is lonely!" Jiang Han thought with a smug smile, looking at his skyrocketing stats and recalling the other players in the Novice Village with attack 2-2 and defense 1-1. "I just want to know, who else can compare?!"

"Who?!"

Suddenly, a hoarse, sharp voice interrupted Jiang Han's self-admiration: "Who killed my carefully arranged puppet?"
