Chapter 505: The Clean Up II

Adrian is surprised as he managed to kill a demon wolf with one shot. Given that demon wolves are not defensive creatures as Sirius could easily get killed if he gets burst down. Adrian checked the system logs to see how it became possible for him to one shot a demon wolf.

[You used your skill Soul Impale. The damage of your next attack will triple.]

[You are unseen. The damage of your next attack will double.]

[You dealt a critical strike due to hitting the back of your opponent. The damage will double.]

Adrian did not expect that his damage will multiply but he loved it. Basically, his damage got multiplied by a factor of twelve. He could only do this with great preparation as his only skill that can turn him invisible is Soul Form Transformation.

A few seconds later, Saena has arrived at Adrian's current location and also reported seeing moving members of demon wolves, but they escaped her sight. She is about to follow but Adrian called him back. 

Adrian did not think that Saena failed in her task as he did call her back. She did manage to collect some poisons in her belly since the swamp has many poisonous plants. Saena is prepared for battle as she can now spread the poison collected in her body using the wind she makes.

All his soulbounds and Adrian moved towards Kanlaon's location as ten demon wolves are still a large number. Kanlaon also reported that no Wise Frog is commanding the five Giant Swamp Frogs which is why the frogs are losing.

Adrian once again used Soul Form Transformation on himself so that he can immediately kill one demon wolf. The location that Kanlaon is currently in is rather far from Adrian's previous location, so it took about five minutes for them to arrive. 

The five Giant Swamp Toads re now full of injurie and one is even in critical condition as one of its arms is cut off. The demon wolves even feasted on this frog arm to intimidate the Giant Swamp Frog. 

"Sirius use Phantom Rush." Adrian commanded and Sirius suddenly emerged from the shadows of one of the demon wolves. His figure then disappeared as a series of bruises suddenly emerged on all ten of the demon wolves.

Adrian used this chance and killed one of the demon wolves. When Adrian's body became visible, that is the signal for his soulbounds to kill the remaining nine demon wolves. The demon wolves did not stand a chance as Sirius already heavily injured all of them and they were finished off by the bother soulbounds.

The Giant Swamp Frogs looked at Adrian with wariness, but the latter showed the token given to him by the Grand Toad. The Giant Swamp Frogs them croaked with happiness at least that is what Adrian interpreted as a system notification gave him the idea of the emotions of the Giant Swamp Frog.

[The Giant Swamp Frogs respect you.]

Adrian then bowed to the Giant Swamp Frogs as he once again searched for the location of thirty-seven demon wolves. The hunt has now commenced but the clean up is still on its way. Adrian wants to finish it in a day so that he has time to spare for the other two overlords.

Adrian's dagger pierced into the skull of the demon wolf, and it turned into particles right after. If one looked around the battlefield then they would see trace of a battle. Each of Adrian's soulbound have leveled up while he is almost close as fifty demon wolves are a hefty amount of experience points.

[You have completed the quest Clean Up the Territory.]

[Go to the Grand Toad to report what you have accomplished.]

Adrian sealed all his soulbounds as they needed to rest. They are still in the Wilde which means they burn more stamina than restore. Adrian is fine because of his form that has high endurance. Adrian arrived at the Grand Toad's location with a bright smile.

"Elder Toad, I have completed your quest. I have cleaned up your territory of the demon wolves." Adrian stated.

Adrian might be happy but there have been cases of demon wolves almost escaping. The biggest headache that happened is when five demon wolves ran on five different directions. Only three of Adrian's soulbounds could actually chase which meant that Adrian had to hunt two demon wolves that ran on different locations.

Fortunately, Adrian has Soul Seeker which he used one of the daggers as a transport to the other demon wolf. When Adrian killed the first demon wolf, he activated the Soul Seeker skill and arrived at the location of the second demon wolf.

"It seems that you are early, young demon. I am very impressed. My subjects have been praising you for your immense help. Some might have been gravely injured but no one died. For that you have my utmost respect." The Grand Toad stated.

[The Grand Toad has increased its respect for you. It will gladly join you in your battle with the Wolf of Disaster.]

"Show me the trinket that I have given you." The Grand Toad stated.

Adrian took out the frog trinket that is in his inventory and held it in his hands. A golden sphere of energy is released from the Grand Toad's mouth that landed on the trinket. The brown frog suddenly turned into a golden frog with a crown on its head.

"Use that trinket to summon me when you are already facing the Wolf of Disaster. Be sure that there must be a body of water in the location or else it will not activate. I cannot accompany you right now because of security reasons. 

The Wolf of Disaster will definitely find it odd that all its demon wolves are not going back. I will rampage for a bit here so that the Wolf of Disaster will think that I killed all of its pack members." The Grand Toad stated as its whole body emerged from the swamp.

"Any idea on which overlord should I recruit next?" Adrian asked the Grand Toad before leaving.

"You better head out west first. You will have a better chance recruiting the western overlord than the southern overlord. The southern overlord is still asleep right now. The southern overlord will definitely wake up two days later." The Grand Toad stated as it jumped up high in the air and flattened the area a few kilometers away.

The earth shook once the Grand Toad landed and even Adrian could feel the tremor despite the far location of the epicenter. He then headed west to recruit the western overlord that is said to rule the skies of the Wilde.

"I just hope that it takes no offense of me killing four avian beasts." Adrian thought as he travelled to the next location in a hurry. He is riding Kanlaon to get there.
