Chapter 7: Chosen
Lucy was cut short as several growls came around. Over twenty black wolves had surrounded them.
’This isn’t good, demon beasts are dangerous together, it gives them time to use their demon arts,’ Zane thought. He immediately pulled out Drain Claw, ready to fight, but before he could make a move, Lucy vanished.
She moved at a speed twice as fast as the first time, her dual daggers in hand. She leaped from tree to tree, and before the wolves could even react, her blade cut through tendons, sending them all to the ground with pain shooting all over their bodies.
The wolves collapsed, whimpering in pain. She landed in front of Zane with one knee on the ground and her head bowed. "Master, I’ve cut them down for you. You can land the killing blow," she said.
’That was fast, and scary—crazy scary. I couldn’t even see her at all, just the heads of wolves flying off their bodies. Myths, what level is Lucy?’ Zane wondered.
"Thank you," he said, taking her blade from her and walking to the wolves. He slit their throats one after the other until he killed all twenty and amassed four hundred EXP. He leveled up to level 2.

In the game, the bodies of monsters vanished after death, but it wasn’t the case here. Well, it wasn’t supposed to be the case, but when one wolf suddenly decomposed and vanished, it left behind something on the ground.
Zane looked at what dropped. "Is that a drop?" he said, excited. He rushed over to the drop, and there was a foot-long dagger on the ground. A black blade with shining silver edges, slightly curved, and with a black crystal embedded in the guard.
He picked up the dagger. [Wolf Fang Dagger — C rank weapon]
