Eleanora seemed to love the dogs. I remember we once had a three-headed dog in my previous life, she was very fond of the creature… I wonder if I will be able to summon him once more.

Or maybe… is Fenrir…?

…No, there's no way.

...

As I mounted Fenrir with Eleanora and we ran inside the forest, I asked Fenrir and his clones to use their strong sense of smell to quickly chase any sort of smell that could indicate a monster or a demon nearby, anything does, I just wanted some EXP to feel like I've not wasted my entire week.

In the meantime, I checked my progress through my Status.

My stats had not increased crazily, but they had slowly been increasing, that's for sure. Some Skills also raised in level, which is very convenient, Shadow Sneak finally reached Level 2 so it is way easier to stealthily merge into the shadows at night specifically, and the other skills give better passive effects. Heavy Drinker is specially useful, doubling the power of all sorts of potions and even food and other things that can grant special stats or restore HP and MP is very useful, it even works with demon energy potions, so I get even more demonic energy thanks to it. Hawk Eye enhanced my vision even further, and now I can even see through the dark at long distances without problems, and lastly, Gifted Magic Apprentice aids at my ability to manipulate magic and create "new" spells, although I mostly just rediscover the spells I once used in my previous life.

Spearmanship and Throwing Technique are getting closer to level up too, and I've been making new projectiles for my Throwing Technique, mere stones won't do anymore against powerful foes, so I've been buying rusted weapons and armor scraps from the market which are often very cheap, and I've used the "Material Shape" Tier 1 Earth Attribute Spell to clean their rust and shape them into balls. I cannot make them into strong weapons or something with the quality of the steel, but I can make them into Steel Balls to throw around, very heavy and dense, they'll be able to easily pierce through the skulls of my foes.

"Woof! Woof!"

Suddenly, the alpha Fenrir speaks to me through some barks, but through our minds, what he's thinking is easily transferred to me as knowledge. It seems the whole pack were able to smell a big concentration of mana and demonic energy around 30 meters from here to the east, so we quickly decided to move there.

"Let's go!" I ordered Fenrir and the rest, as they all quickly moved to the east and rushed forward as fast as possible, their dark fur easily merged with the darkness of the night, making them lethal creatures for ambush.

"Oh, finally some slaughter, I was getting tired!" Eleanora said. She took out her spear and infused it with Aether and some of my mana, making the weapon glow with a bright red aura. I also took my Gluttony just in case, while keeping my pouch with Steel Balls close by to throw at foes from a distance.

As we finally reached the area, the wolves stopped, slowly lurking around our target. Using Hawk Eyes, I was able to see something rather surprising. It was a group of knights. Two of them were in the floor, covered in wounds and with spears piercing their heads, they were dead. The other five were fighting desperately against Imps, over a dozen of them mounting… Gray Wolves?! And there was a big Demon mounting a giant Wild Boar! It was… an Oni just like the one from before. Hoh, this is getting exciting.

But what the heck are these knights doing here? Why did they came here at night from all things? Or did they get lost? Well, there's no point in holding back, I'll take down the demons and monsters and get all the EXP and Loot I want. I'll deal with the knights and ask questions later. But just in case, I'll cover my face with a black mask, Eleanora too, which I also created using Material Shape and the leftover steel scraps, alongside some black painting made out of the black blood of demons. This mask helps to camouflage my scent to the demons as it is covered in their nasty odor.

"Spread and attack!" I ordered the Fenrirs, as I brought out three Orcus and also the two Spores, which I decided to make into a team. The Fenrirs circled the Gray Wolf-mounting Imps, while the three Orcus and the two Sores immediately went for the big boss mounting the giant wild boar.

"W-What the… wolves?!"

"These are different, watch out!

"No, they're not attacking us!"

As the knights were confused about what was happening, I jumped off into action with my Fenrir, as he immediately roared, giving a loud howl.

"AWOOOOOOOO!"

A strong aura of darkness encompassed the hearts of the demons and monsters… and also the humans, who were all temporarily paralyzed by fear. Fenrir's roar proved to be quite useful.
