13 The Wolves Land
Now that Silver was Level 9 he was prepared to take on the Wolf King. He placed two points into Dexterity, and one into Strength. After picking up all items he left the Graveyard fully finishing the quest. From the thousand normal monsters, ten elite mobs, and the boss Necromancer Silver had quite a few items to go through.
Silver reviewed all the items he had received:
- 9 Gold Coins, 40 Silver coins Bringing his total coins up to 16 Gold Coins
- 26 Normal Items
- 6 Uncommon Items
- 1 Rare Item
And finally a Necromancer Class Change! Silver did not plan to use the class change but would keep it for now.
Of the items, only the rare item could replace his item.

He returned to the Mayor reporting his success.

Such an item was truly powerful, 15 Attribute points were equal to 5 levels. This item would ensure that Silver would not be killed in any single attack in the future.
He then sent a message to the Banana King, Eric.
"Hey Eric, I've hit level 9 how are you guys doing?"
"What? You're level 9!" Eric was surprised after they finished the last quest he knew that Silver logged off for a few hours. Yet he still leveled up faster than any of them.
"I'm nearly level 9, but the others just hit level 8. The Wolfs territory is quite large so we could meet up and start making our ways towards the Wolf King."
"Sure let's meet at the East Gate." After fifteen minutes Eric, Tanky Banana Sophia, and Popular Banana Ashton arrived.
"Hey Silver how's it going!"
Silver who was truthfully having quite a lot of fun answered honestly. After completing greetings
Silver inspected Eric and the others

Popular Banana (Elf)

Eric then handed Silver 30 Gold, and 30 Lesser Health Potions. "We were able to sell the Health Potions for seventy silver each, but we can only produce about 15 potions every hour." Since receiving the Heath potion recipe it's been about 14 Hours. Around 200 Potions have been produced, Eric Sold only about half of those, keeping 70 for the guilds elites, and giving the remaining 30 to Silver.
Silver did not stand on ceremony and took the gold and potions. After doing so Silver asked if he would like to purchase the items that he could not use on him. He did not offer the Class Change to Eric in case his Uncle had some other plans. Eric offered 14 Gold for all the items he had on him, which Silver accepted. After accepting the gold Silver truly was rich, with a total of 67 Gold worth about $65,000.
They headed towards the Wolves Land. The Wolves Land were large, it started as a level 6 area, and went all the way to level 9 at the edge where the Wolf King was located.
The group carnaged through the wolves and quickly arrived at the level 9 area. During this time Eric reached level 9.
Due to killing hundreds of lower level wolves including some elite wolves, the party already had all info on the level 9 wolves.
<Grassland Wolf>
Level 9

Defense: 25
Movement Speed: 155

The Wolves had very well balanced attributes and were somewhat difficult to deal with, but with such a powerful party they were no challenge at all. After killing a large number of Wolves including a few elites they spotted a large wolf, which no others were willing to approach.
<Wolf King>
Level 9 Boss
HP: 1500
Atk:?
...
The party readied for combat, Sophia Activated <Taunt> on the Wolf King. The Wolf King Immediately roared; dazing everyone. Sophia unable to block took massive damage from the first blow of the Wolf King.
The Daze quickly ended, Sophia immediately drank a potion, while focusing on blocking the Wolf King's attacks. Silver and Eric attacked the Wolf King, Silver opened up with <Smokescreen> in order to gain the bonus damage from both the smokescreen and Stealth. Silver then used <Shadow Slash>, <Stealth>, <Shadow Slash>, <Shadow Slash>, <Dagger Throw>. Silver easily dealt over 200 damage to the Wolf King in an instant. With Eric, and Silver's damage, the Wolf King was quickly reduced to 50% Health.
"ROOOAR!" The Wolf once again roared, but this time the party was not dazed, instead of two elite wolves, and a dozen normal wolves appeared out of the forest. Silver made the quick decision to aggro as many wolves as possible, he grabbed the Elite Wolves attention first.
Silver activated Frenzy to battle with the nine wolves that he could garner the aggro. He was unable to grab the aggro of the other five normal wolves, so Eric also battled with the five remaining normal wolves. This was hardly a challenge for Eric who would be able to deal with the normal monsters given a bit of time. Silver who had practiced fighting dozens of enemies at a time also had no problem defeating the wolves. With frenzy activated he Killed both Elite Wolves in only a few seconds.
Once the Elite Wolves were dead Silver had no problem whatsoever killing the rest of the wolves, before assisting Eric in finishing off his remaining wolves. They then reengaged with the Wolf King, shortly after with the insane damage of both Eric, and Silver the Wolf King's Health decreased to 20%.
"ROOOOOOOAR!!!!" The Wolf's eyes turned red!
Sophia understanding the boss went enraged used the skill <Frenzied Defense> which doubled the effectiveness of her shield for 7 seconds. For the seven seconds combined with Ashton's healing, the situation was stable. After the time was over Ashton used <Holy Shield> on Sophia blocking a single attack from the boss. The boss was still at 12% Health, While Sophia was losing 40% of her HP per strike of the wolf.
Even with Ashton's healing, and a health potion Sophia had no way of escaping with her life. Silver not wanting any of his party members to die tried to use his Skill in a unique way. He instantly approached the Wolf, beside Sophia he used Smokescreen. "RUN!" he spoke to Sophia while assaulting the boss from within the Smoke. Unexpectedly the Wolf stopped focusing on Sophia, and instead tried to bite at Silver, in the Smokescreen Silver was able to avoid the inaccurate attack.
The Wolf King continued to focus Silver, in only two more blows Silver's hp reached less than 10%. Silver at the moment when the Wolf King was going to chomp him to death activated <Shadow Blink>.
Silver instantly activated <Stealth> losing aggro and confusing the Wolf. He then appeared behind the wolf activating <Shadow Slash> twice killing off the enraged boss.
Ashton and Sophia instantly leveled up.
"Haha, how easily done" Ashton was first to speak.
Everyone gave a sly smile, happy for finishing the difficult mission given by the Mayor. They then went to see what the Wolf King dropped.
Walking to the corpse they saw two drops,
<Staff of Betterment> (Priest Staff)

Healing Increase by 25%
Defense + 6
Intelligence + 4

Good staff! With the bonus, fully stacked Healing will be increased by a full 50%! Ashton gladly took the staff and equipped it instantly.
The second drop was a rare material, Wolf Kings Tooth. Again the party was unsure of the use of the material, so it was given to Silver to hold. They then started making there way back to town to collect their rewards!
