BXBX NOVEL Chapter 10 - Unexpected Turn
The duo readied themselves for combat since the alpha wolf jumped off the boulder and landed on the ground 10 meters away from them as if telling the challengers to brace themselves. The Feral Alpha Wolf is about twice the size of an average wolf which means its 4 times the size of Sirius. The wolf has brown fur with some silver fur peeking through and scars can be seen on its body, signifying that it has participated in many battles.
"Sirius start off with Shadow Sneak then follow up with Bite" Adrian commanded.
Sirius then immediately dove into his shadow and a few seconds later emerge from the alpha wolf\'s shadow. The alpha wolf then noticed the presence behind it and tried to dodge. Unfortunately, the alpha wolf reacted half a second late and was bitten in its tail.
<Feral Alpha Wolf> -30hp
A notification appeared in front of Adrian.
Triggered the status Bleed. The Feral Alpha Wolf will lose 1% of its hp for the rest of the battle.
The alpha wolf then suddenly turned hostile and swung its tail to shake off Sirius. The alpha wolf manage to shake off Sirius and flung him towards a nearby wall damaging him.
<Sirius> -30hp
Enemy Notification: The Feral Alpha Wolf used the skill Alpha Howl. Its damage and speed will increase by 20%. It also resets its aggro.
The alpha wolf suddenly got a burst of speed then lunged at Adrian. Sirius seeing its enemy suddenly attacking its master jumped into the path of the attack and took the brunt of the damage. Sirius got flung towards Adrian which made Adrian also be flung due to the force.
Player <Equinox> -45hp
<Sirius>-50hp
Adrian looked at Sirius\' HP bar and is now down to 5%. Adrian looked at the alpha wolf and it seemed to be rooted in place which he found odd but he remembered that the alpha wolf had an attack skill called Retaliate.
Name: Retaliate
Effect: Uses the body\'s full force in order to damage the enemy for 150% of attack damage but tires out the users body in the process for 3 seconds.
Cooldown: 5 minutes
"Good thing that skill has a 3 second leeway" Adrian thought.
"Let my other halves be blessed by the power of my soul! Invigorate" Adrian chanted.
Sirius\' HP and stamina went up by 50% and its damage increased. Adrian checked the remaining time for the Howl buff.
Howl Buff( 5:00 minutes remaining)
"Sirius use Shadow Sneak then Bite" Adrian commanded.
Sirius dissolved into its shadow then sprung up from the alpha wolf\'s shadow. He then went and used Bite on the alpha wolf\'s leg.
<Feral Alpha Wolf> -80hp
Adrian was shocked to see the damage value which was a whopping 80hp. The reason for the high damage is the stacking damage buff of Howl and Invigorate plus the double damage proc on Shadow Sneak.
Name: Feral Alpha Wolf
HP: 30/150(Bleeding)
"Just one more attack Sirius" Adrian yelled.
Before Sirius could finish off the boss, it suddenly entered its berserk mode. The boss suddenly has a red aura around it signifying it has entered its final stage of power up. When a boss usually enters berserk mode it gains 50% more attack damage but also receives 50% more damage in return. Both the boss and Sirius lunged at each other which resulted in both of them receiving damage.

Adrian checked on Sirius before giving a sigh of relief. He got lucky that Sirius managed to hang on to 1hp then he wondered how did Sirius get a title. He then suddenly stopped moving and wondered why is the portal not materializing yet. Suddenly.....
The corpse of the alpha wolf suddenly started to reanimate itself while smoke seemingly pools onto its now missing heart. When the corpse fully reanimated, an unknown force sent a shock wave knocking back Adrian and ended up killing Sirius.

Suddenly Adrian heard a voice coming from the chest cavity of the undead wolf.
"Give me the amulet and your life"
The undead wolf opened its mouth and suddenly shot a beam of energy that looked eerie. Adrian\'s hp went directly to zero then he heard an announcement.
