================

"Kindle?"

Bob looked at the chicken—who was walking on the floor pecking the werewolves since earlier—and then back at the prompt. All Bob understood was that Lavanuk now had a skill at her disposal.

"CLUCK!"

Lavanuk aggressively pecked at a werewolf, just like her usual attack. However, there was a red glint radiating from her beak this time. The werewolf was suddenly set on fire!

"Bukok!"

Lavanuk was surprised that the werewolf she pecked suddenly became ablaze. It was a scene that was out of the ordinary when thinking of the situation where there was no mage.

The burning werewolf smelled wonderful, and the visual effects were very flashy. Although the reality was that the fire was doing piss poor damage.

*Your contracted monster 'Lavanuk' has dealt 3 damage.

*Your contracted monster 'Lavanuk' has dealt 3 damage.

This damage proc showed itself every second. However, the rest of the party does not know that the flashy burning werewolf was not in danger of dying.

Whizz~

Another arrow left its knock. Blight fired another shot and it was the last arrow for the werewolf who was stabbed into a hundred holes by the tarsiers. The werewolf became a blue light and soon dropped loot.

*You have gained 140 experience. (+28)

When the last frontline werewolf died, everyone relaxed a bit. They could now focus on helping Bob survive without worrying about their backs. After all, being a summoner, warlock, and a marksman, it was imperative that they should never be hit from the back.

"Hey, Bob! Back off for a bit!"

E commanded, he was the party leader after all. He motioned for Enma to take the front line for now and let Bob recover his HP. However, Bob did not understand E's worries.

Bob did not back off and continued standing his ground. The burning werewolf—who was confused about the fire that barely did any damage—assessed the situation.

"Grrrr."

It was angry that it was set on fire and that his kin was slaughtered by the people behind the man standing before it. With a burning rage, it rushed towards Bob who was bracing himself.

The other werewolf backed off to make space for his kin to attack. It looked at Bob with a demeaning look. It was confident that the blood-covered Bob would die after a serious attack.

"Bob! Move your ass, quickly!" Minion shouted.

He wanted to use his curses to slow down the enemy's attacks but Minion was a useless guy when his mana is drained. The best he could do was warn Bob.

Bob didn't move from his place though. He was dazzled by the spectacle before him. His body was hurting but it did not matter much, so he just enjoyed looking at the blazing werewolf.

"Pretty."

Bob awakened his interest in flames.

And while he was standing in a daze, the incarnation of embers of a werewolf reached him with claws that looked like it was from a 1000° Celcius knife video.

Stab~

"Oooooof!" Minion could not control his mouth.

Everyone's jaw dropped upon seeing Bob getting impaled by an arm. The arm went into his stomach and came out of his back. And the flames added the effect that makes it seem like a barbeque.

Bob did not move, and neither the werewolf. Bob looked at the arm with a pained expression. It was not a pleasant experience and unlike earlier where he was consumed by rage, he was fully conscious this time.

'It hurts.'

Bob sheds a tear. The pain reminded him of his mother, who probably was experiencing the pain of being torn to pieces.

'It hurts!'

Bob lost his strength. He was now hurt emotionally instead of physically. Well, he was still hurt physically though.

'Ha. It hurts.'

Bob gripped the arm that went through him. At his action, everyone was surprised. They expected that Bob would now be forced to log out but they were reminded of a scene from SAO.

'You fucking bastard!"

Bob used all of his strength on his grips. The werewolf was alarmed and tried to back off. With Bob's STR stat, it was not able to shake the grip off.

"HAHAHAHAH!"

Bob laughed upon seeing the werewolf panicking. The amount of stress Bob experienced just today was enough to break his simple mind.

'The pain is only a testament!'

Bob used his body to push the werewolf down to the ground. The falling action was not pleasant, especially when an entire arm was lodged in his stomach.

'The pain reminds me that I'm still alive!'

Witnessing that, everyone just stood still. They could not say anything about Bob's madness because they don't really know him. However, someone had a different thought.

'Is he a berserker too?'

Enma looked at Bob who was no longer using his spear. As Bob pinned the werewolf down to the ground, he used his fists to strike. It was the same brutal technique Bob used to fight earlier.

The other werewolf was dumbfounded, it subconsciously knew that it should back off. But it was also enraptured by the bizarre result of his kin's attack.

Whizz~

Blight was different though. He kept on firing arrows despite the happenings. The arrow reached its target—which was the listless werewolf—and it landed on the face.

'Damn it.'

He was aiming for the eye again. But aiming in Immersion Online was hard, it would have been even worse if there was no correction system caused by the passive skill mastery.

"Yelp!"

The werewolf cried out like a bitch. Well, there was no way to find out its gender unless you had the gall to check. And with that cry, everyone looked at it and knew what to do.

'It looks like Bob has this under control.'

Enma thought. He left the pinned werewolf to Bob and ran towards the werewolf who just got shot. Minion cursed himself as he could not do anything without mana. E on the other hand summoned more animals.

"Summon Explosive Hamsters!"

It was the hamster that caused the myth of the naked man running around in Bagel Forest. The explosive hamsters showed themselves and followed after Enma.

"Hup!"

Enma slashed his sword with a downward force diagonally. The hit landed and the cut was clean, which satisfied Enma and his nerves. But before Enma could celebrate.

BANG!

An explosive hamster, well, exploded.

"Woi! E, what the hell man?" Enma was in the blast range. The damage of the explosion was no longer substantial for a Level 18 character, it was still loud as hell.

"Hahaha! It's crowd control!" E replied cheerfully.

BANG BANG BANG~

The consecutive explosions caused damage to both the werewolf and Enma. Which means-

*You suffered 50 damage.

*Your HP is now under 50%. Your class passive 'Berserker' activates.

*Current bonus: 30% increase in physical damage. 15% increase in Attack Speed.

Although the bonuses increased, due to the smoke and sound caused by the explosions, Enma could not use his weapon to attack. And with that time wasted, Minion finally regained enough mana to use least mana-using spell.

"BLINDING LIGHT!"

A bright flash filled the scene. It was an orb that radiated light and its intensity was insane. Within the night, it was just like a portable sun and it flashed everyone's eyes.

"##########"

Enma cursed but was censored. He was screaming angrily at Minion because the spell was right in front of his face. Although the main point of the spell was to blind the enemy werewolf, Enma was also within range.

Whizz~

Blight did not let this opportunity pass though. With the enemy unable to determine left from right and up from down, it was the best time to land some cheap shots.

"#######"

Enma was still blinded by the light. He only recovered his vision when he saw the prompt invade his retina.

*You have slain a Lv 18 Not-so-apprentice Werewolf.

*You have gained 150 exp.

"For fuck's sake!"

Enma just gave up and lied on his back. His vision was all messed up and he was feeling disoriented. He was not having a great time being crowd controlled by his own teammates.

*You have slain a Lv 19 Not-so-apprentice Werewolf.

*You have gained 163 exp.

"???"

Everyone was surprised about the sudden emergence of another EXP gain prompt. And the only other party member they had was Bob who was hitting a werewolf with his bare hands.

When they turned to look at Bob, he was kneeling down on the ground, breathing heavily with bloody hands and burnt clothes. With all the stares, Bob turned his head and showed a smile.

"Hey guys. How are things going?"

Everyone had the same thoughts in their heads as they saw Bob.

'Let's not make him angry.'
