Chapter 33: Demon Wolves Park

As Cheol Su celebrate over his victory, "beyond the shadows unknown to him approaches a new threat". The wind howls and the bushes brushes against each other.

In an instant, the peace of the forest was shattered by the snarls and howls of the pack, their demonic presence filling the air with a palpable sense of dread. But Cheol Su was unafraid, his eyes alight with the power of the flames, his sword a blazing beacon of destruction.

With a battle cry that echoed through the trees, he launched himself into the fray, his sword a whirlwind of searing energy. The wolves howled in agony as his blade connected with their flesh, their demonic essence melting away like snow in a furnace.The pack, sensing the tide of the battle turning against them, shifted their strategy, their teeth and claws becoming a blur of motion as they attempted to overwhelm Cheol Su with sheer numbers. But the flames within him continued to burn, his sword a devastating instrument of power that none could resist.

As the wolves fell, one by one, the forest floor became a sea of scarlet, the blood of the defeated mingling with the ash of their vanquished spirits. And when the last wolf had been dispatched, Cheol Su stood triumphant, the power of the fire still coursing through him like a raging river.His face smeared with ash and blood, Cheol Su turned his gaze back to the forest, his mind once again focused on his quest for experience points. The battle had been a test, a trial by fire that he had emerged from stronger and wiser.

"What now, Cyprus?" he murmured, his voice gruff but filled with a newfound confidence.

The system's response was immediate, its thoughts flowing into his mind with renewed urgency. "There is no time to rest, Liege. The forest is teeming with creatures that have yet to be challenged."You have earned 100 Experience Points from the demonic wolves," the system reported, the numbers floating before Cheol Su's eyes like a digital mirage.

He nodded, satisfied with his progress but eager for more. And then, a new window appeared, its contents glinting with promise. "A Magic Potion is now available for purchase," the system announced, its words heavy with suggestion. "Would you like to spend your Experience Points on this item?"

Cheol Su considered the offer, his mind racing with possibilities.After a moment's contemplation, Cheol Su made his decision. "I will purchase the potion," he declared, his words ringing with finality.

The system seemed to hum in approval, the window dissolving into a shower of green pixels as the Magic Potion materialized in his hand. A faint aroma of herbs and spices filled the air, the potion's surface rippling with an almost-alive energy.

"Drink it, Liege," the system urged, its thoughts laced with anticipation. "The benefits will be immediate, and your journey to greatness will be hastened." With a decisive swig, Cheol Su downed the potion, its sweet nectar sliding down his throat like a river of rejuvenation. A warmth spread through his body, banishing the lingering aches and pains of battle, leaving him refreshed and invigorated.

And then, it happened. A new window appeared, the words "New Skill: Instant Recovery" flashing across the screen like a beacon of hope.

Cheol Su smirked, a glint of mischief in his eye. "Instant Recovery, eh? Seems like my journey to greatness is off to a promising start."The numbers ticked upward, each increase representing a newfound strength and speed that Cheol Su could already feel coursing through his veins.

"Strength +3," the system announced, the words glowing with promise. "Agility +4, Dexterity +2, Endurance +3..."

Cheol Su grinned, flexing his muscles and testing the newfound power that surged within him. He was faster, stronger, more resilient than before. The world seemed to bend to his will, the once-insurmountable obstacles melting away like wax in the face of a flame.

Cheol Su's confidence was palpable, the power of the Magic Potion still coursing through his veins as he ventured deeper into the forest. But then, a sudden alarm blared in his mind, the system's telepathic voice urgent and intense.

"Elite Monster Detected: Lycan Steel-fanged Wolves. Level 20, pack of 5. Extremely dangerous. Proceed with caution."

Cheol Su paused, his heart hammering in his chest as he realized the gravity of the situation. The forest was silent, save for the rustling of leaves and the flutter of wings in the distance. Cheol Su knew that the wolves were lurking, their predatory instincts honed to perfection.

He tightened his grip on his sword, his knuckles white with tension. He could feel the weight of his responsibility, his quest for experience points suddenly overshadowed by the urgent need for survival.

"The system is right," he thought, his mind racing as he searched for a strategy. "I must proceed with caution, or all will be lost."With each step forward, the trees seemed to close in around him, the shadows lengthening and darkening with a malevolent energy. The system's warnings echoed in his mind, their ominous tone heightening his senses.

"They're near," he whispered, his breath misting in the cool air. "I can feel it."

And then, without warning, a piercing howl rent the air, a sound that chilled his blood and sent shivers racing down his spine. The Lycan Steel-fanged Wolves had been roused.Cheol Su's lips curved into a fierce grin, the adrenaline coursing through him like a raging river. "Come to me, my experience points!" he bellowed, his voice echoing through the forest like a challenge to the very gods themselves.
