# Chapter 11
“You're pretty impatient!”
Like a matador narrowly avoiding an enraged bull, Do-jin slipped sideways at the last moment and let the Three-Eyed Wolf's charge rush past him.
At the same time...
“GRAAAAAH!!!”
He drove his spear into the wound on the eye that had only just begun healing!
“For a Boss, your regeneration really is ridiculous. I was trying to keep your vision sealed!”
Do-jin decided to change his strategy slightly.
Before acquiring <Poison Heart (D)>, he had already consumed a considerable amount of mana while massacring the huge number of Gray Wolves.
That was why he had originally intended to use the undead to buy as much time as possible.
But there's no need for that anymore.
By absorbing the poisonous energy constantly released by the Three-Eyed Wolf, Do-jin had recovered a considerable amount of both mana and stamina.
Then should I try using that again after all this time?
It would also let him check his current condition.
“Grrrr...!”
Reading their master's intent, the undead withdrew from the Three-Eyed Wolf one after another.
The Three-Eyed Wolf blinked rapidly.
Its final remaining eye, the least damaged of the three, glared at Do-jin with murderous rage.
“Yeah, yeah... It must be annoying, right? We keep attacking your eyes, and all these piles of bones keep bothering you from every direction.”
If Do-jin had two talents that stood above ordinary people, one would be getting under someone's skin.
The other would be mana control.
As soon as they received their master's intent, the Crow Skeletons viciously began pecking at the Three-Eyed Wolf's eyes and forehead.
The wolf undead, meanwhile...
“Grrrr!”
...gathered beside Do-jin.
Then all five rushed forward together and began tearing into the Three-Eyed Wolf.
Almost as though they were deliberately making it clear who had ordered every one of those attacks.
Blood vessels bulged in the Three-Eyed Wolf's last remaining eye.
“Grrrr...”
Perhaps a fragment of reason still remained beneath the monster's wild instincts.
The instant rage toward Do-jin flashed through its eye...
Whoosh!
This time, it was not an attack from the undead.
Do-jin, whose mana control had been polished through countless real battles before his regression, formed an Aura Arrow over his bare hand.
Without even using a bow, he fired it.
The arrow of aura grazed across the Three-Eyed Wolf's face.
“GRAAAAAAAAAH!!!”
After having its eyes attacked again and again, even the Three-Eyed Wolf could no longer endure it.
Like an enraged bull, it charged straight toward Do-jin.
“GRRRAAAAH!!!”
The Three-Eyed Wolf was undeniably fast and powerful.
An ordinary Player probably would have panicked and been overwhelmed in an instant.
Unfortunately for the Three-Eyed Wolf...
Do-jin was anything but ordinary.
The Crow Skeletons were practically clinging to the monster's face.
Like the eagle pecking at Prometheus's liver, they struck with their hard beaks whenever the slightest sign of healing appeared in its eyes.
The larger and stronger Wolf Skeletons bit down on the Three-Eyed Wolf's hind legs.
Because of them, the Boss could barely move properly.
“Grrrrrr...!”
The Low-Grade Vampiric Wolf clung to the Three-Eyed Wolf's neck like a leech.
Meanwhile, the two relatively weaker Wolf Zombies climbed onto the monster's back and bit it repeatedly.
The raw attack power of the Low-Grade Vampire and Zombies was not particularly impressive.
But their secondary effects became increasingly obvious with time.
[The Three-Eyed Wolf's Health and Mana are continuously being depleted.]
[The Three-Eyed Wolf has been poisoned by Zombie Poison.]
[Health depletion accelerated.]
[-5% per minute.]
“So this is why Players like summoning creatures. It's really convenient.”
When the Three-Eyed Wolf thrashed violently in desperation, some of the wolf undead were thrown off, trampled, and destroyed.
But...
“Awaken.”
Fortunately, poisonous energy continued leaking from the Three-Eyed Wolf.
That meant Do-jin could continue recovering mana.
And monster corpses that could become new undead were scattered everywhere.
In other words...
He could continuously replenish his minions.
Amid the battle, Do-jin calmly organized his thoughts.
As expected, Zombies are tougher than Skeletons.
The new Level 1 Wolf Skeletons he had awakened during the fight were knocked away and shattered by the Three-Eyed Wolf's violent movements.
The Wolf Zombies, however, could endure two or three additional impacts despite being the same Level.
The difference is whether they still have muscles.
And even a Low-Grade Vampire seemed superior to a Zombie.
The other wolf undead had already been destroyed and replaced several times.
Yet the Low-Grade Vampiric Wolf continued holding on stubbornly.
Maybe I should keep the Vampiric Wolf around and raise it properly.
Do-jin reached a simple conclusion.
Then he continued observing the battle.
Perhaps because they were all Do-jin's minions, neither the Low-Grade Vampiric Wolf nor the Skeletons were affected by the Wolf Zombies' poison.
Only the Three-Eyed Wolf suffered.
Even though that poison had originally come from the Three-Eyed Wolf itself.
“So once poison mixes with my mana, it becomes an entirely new poison... Good!”
He had observed enough.
Do-jin leveled his spear.
He had no intention of leaving everything to his minions.
He might be a Necromancer now...
But before his regression, he had been a Magic Spearman.
“I'll handle the finishing blow.”
The Three-Eyed Wolf was enormous and highly poisonous.
But ultimately, it was still a Gray Wolf.
It was not especially intelligent.
It did not possess multiple hearts.
And its organs and general body structure were not radically different from real animals.
Cut its throat.
Pierce its heart.
Destroy its head.
Any of those would kill it.
Which method could the current E-rank Do-jin realistically use?
Pierce its heart.
Of course, even that would not be easy.
As a Dungeon Boss, the Three-Eyed Wolf was enormous.
Not quite as large as a bus...
But definitely larger than a medium-sized truck.
Naturally, the muscles and bones surrounding its heart were thick and tough.
It was not something an ordinary E-rank Hunter could easily penetrate with mana.
Especially not with a spear whose blade had already dulled after repeated use.
But Do-jin was ready.
“GRAAAAH!!!”
Whoosh!
CRACK!
CHOMP!
Perhaps its monster instincts sensed danger.
The Three-Eyed Wolf stopped caring about the undead hanging all over its body.
Now it charged directly toward Do-jin.
“Ha! Did you smell what I'm planning?”
