18 Blindspot.

[You Have Entered The Sleeping Place of Adult Wolf!]

A notification popped up in front of Isaac.

He grabbed his Flintlock into a tighter hold. He leaned to the side, trying to take a peek toward a small open space.

He saw a 5-meter wolf with black fur sleeping on the ground. The wolf's sharp furred tail swayed side to side.

Isaac noticed the floating texts right on top of the wolf's head.

[Adult Wolf]

[Level 9]

[HP: 90/90]

''90... My Flintlock can probably do 60 damage... Not sure is it fixed damage or more random and depends where you hit.''

''I could try to level up and try to beat the Adult Wolf later...'' Isaac murmured.

''I still have six days left to finish the Quest.''

Isaac wasn't feeling very confident about killing the Adult Wolf, but he had a hunch that Kulos might offer the Quest for someone else.

Why else was there such a long time limit?

Higher-level Played could do the quest in an hour, but the time limit was one week for some reason.

Isaac felt like it was suspicious. He wasn't sure what Kulos might be planning and didn't really care.

*Sigh*

Isaac sighed, ''Let's do this...''

He left his hiding spot and sneakily walked toward the Adult Wolf.

Adult Wolf was innocently lying on the ground. His eyes tightly shut.

Soon, Isaac was standing right in front of the sleeping Adult Wolf.

He pointed his Flintlock toward the Adult Wolf's head. The barrel barely touched the fur.

He was about to pull the trigger. However, another idea suddenly popped into his mind.

Isaac shifted the Flintlock Pistol's aim and soon aimed straight toward the sleeping Adult Wolf's closed eyelid!

'I hope this works...'

*BANG*

Isaac squeezed the trigger, and the bullet perfectly penetrated the Adult Wolf's eye.

''RAAAAAWR!'' The Adult Wolf woke up with a cry of agony.

[-63 HP]

[HP: 27/90]

[Adult Wolf Received 50% Blinding Damage!]

''I-It worked!'' Isaac cheered. However, his cheerful face disappeared as soon as it appeared. The Adult Wolf turned his only remaining eye toward Isaac and glared murderously.

''Ah... Right... He had one more eye.'' Isaac turned around and started running away.

''RAAAAAAAAAAWR!'' The Adult Wolf instantly spurted into motion and used his claw to slash toward Isaac.

''UGH!'' Isaac felt something sharp slashing through his flesh but didn't feel any pain that should have come.

[You Lost 25 HP!]

[HP: 40/65]

Isaac sidestepped to the left and dodged Wolf's lengthy body.

He quickly glanced at the reloading time.

[24...]

[23...]

''RAAAAWRR!'' The Adult Wolf angrily turned his head and again attacked with his claws.

Isaac tried to dodge, but Adult Wolf's agility was much higher and did a slashing wound on his waist.

Isaac was sent flying while a message popped up in front of him.

[You Lost 38 HP!]

[HP: 2/65]

Isaac crashed to the ground and lost another 1 HP because of that.

[HP: 1/65]

Isaac gritted his teeth, took his slingshot, put a couple of rocks on the elastic band, and started firing.

[-1 HP]

[-2 HP]

The Adult Wolf tanked all the rocks and appeared in front of Isaac.

[Adult Wolf]

[Level 9]

[HP: 23/90]

The Adult Wolf raised its paw and did a downward slash with creepily long claws.

Isaac made a last attempt to survive and leaped to the right. Hoping that the claws wouldn't be able to reach him.

*SWISH*

The claw missed his body barely. The tip of the claw barely managed to scratch through his clothing.

Isaac was again about to dodge. However, he noticed the Adult Wolf looking with confusion around him.

'I am in his blindspot...' Isaac thought and saw the missing eye in the skull of the Adult Wolf.

The Adult Wolf turned toward Isaac, using his snout to smell his opponent. However, another look of confusion appeared on his face.

Isaac had already leaped to the left, trying to stay in Wolf's blindspot!

When the Adult Wolf turned his head toward him, Isaac was already back in the blindspot. To the onlookers, it would look like Isaac was making fun of the semi-blind wolf.

''Finally…'' Isaac murmured and grinned once the long-awaited notifications appeared.

[0...]

[Reloading Is Ready!]

Isaac opened the Flintlock Pistol's chamber, stuffed the bullet inside, took aim, and pulled the trigger.

*BANG*

The bullet perfectly pierced the Adult Wolf's skull, and soon, the large body disappeared into light particles.

[You Killed Adult Wolf!]

[150 XP Earned!]

[Quest Completed!]

[Rewards: 100 White Coins + Relationship with Kulos improved by 10!]

Isaac sighed out of relief.

'Too risky...'' Isaac looked around the surroundings warily.

He had only 1 HP.

Even a Level 1 player could kill him, but gladly no one seemed to be around.

Isaac quickly checked the items Adult Wolf dropped.

[Adult Wolf's Meat (Common)]

[Adult Wolf's Fang (Uncommon)]

''Nice!'' Isaac was satisfied, but he still needed to wait for his orange nametag to disappear and his HP to return.

He climbed to a nearby tree and started waiting.

Meanwhile, he took a glance at his stats.

''10 Stat Points...'' Isaac murmured and decided to put them all on agility.

[AGI: 25 -> 35]

10 minutes later.

The long-awaited message came.

[You have been unharmed for 10 minutes!]

[Your wounds have been healed!]

[1/65 -> 65/65]

Isaac left the tree and started walking out of the forest's depths.

Every now and then, he heard fighting sounds and roars of wild animals.

But, he ignored it all and managed to exit the forest 10 minutes later.

He ran straight toward the village—no more detours.

His orange nametag hadn't completely disappeared— there was still a hue of orange around the edges.

But he thought that it wouldn't matter much.

And he was right.

The Guards only looked at him and decided to keep an eye on him.

Shortly afterward, Isaac entered the Merchant Store and saw Kulos sitting on his chair.

''Young fella, you managed to do it,'' Kulos said with a slightly impressed face.

Isaac nodded and put the Adult Meat and Adult Fang on the desk.

''You managed to get the Fang?!'' Kulos was shocked.

He pondered for a few minutes and concluded, ''Since you managed to complete the Quest so quick... I will give 400 White Coins for these.''

Isaac was surprised but happy nonetheless.

Kulos gave him 400 White Coins, but Isaac still had few items.

He put three leather armors, a green-colored cane, 2 Iron swords, and the Omega Wild Bear's meat on the desk.

Kulos looked at the items and pondered for longer.

''I will give 1500 White Coins for all this,'' Kulos soon offered his price.

Isaac was shocked, he was aware that he would get a lot, but this was more than expected.

'Is this because the relationship was improved?' Isaac didn't know, but he was happy with the money he had received.

Kulos gave him the 1500 White Coins.

Isaac earned a total of 2000 White Coins from that trip alone.

First, the 100 White Coins after completing the Quest.

Then 400 for the Adult Wolf's items, and 1500 for the things he got after killing Tom and the rest.

''Interface...'' Isaac murmured.
