Leo glared at the azure system window hovering before his eyes. He had expected to gain a lot of experience, but he didn’t anticipate gaining half a million with just a single run.

[ ?????????????????????????????? ???? ???????????????? ????. ????... ????. ????! ]

[ ?????????? ???? → ?????????? ???? ]

Leo had managed to gain two entire levels with just 50 Drakes. He licked his lips, thinking about how much he could achieve before he had to leave.

.....

Maybe he could even become strong enough to stand on equal ground against the Wyvern?

However Leo knew he was deluding himself. Wyverns were similar to dragons, and killing one solo was incredibly difficult. Even if he spent an entire year brainlessly farming Drakes, he wouldn’t come close to being able to kill a Wyvern solo.

Shaking his head, Leo glanced at some of the Drakes that had managed to stop before falling into the ravine.

“Lightning Bolt...”

Leo chanted, snapping his fingers and summoning a lightning projectile in his palm.

He yanked it towards the Drakes standing near the edge, throwing it deliberately behind them to cause a commotion and make a few more fall into the ravine.

Kleek...

Another wave of mana vibrations passed through the air, and the surviving Drakes growled, slowly turning back towards the hill.

“If I somehow kill the Alpha...”

Leo’s thoughts were now focused on killing the Alpha Female Drake.

If he managed to do that, the creatures would have no leadership and would be like fish out of the water.

He could easily lure them to their deaths!

Tapping Fenrir’s fur, Leo made sure his hood was pulled up and started moving slowly towards the hill. The Drakes probably wouldn’t expect an attack right after the first one.

The Alpha Female Drake would likely take some time to assess the damage and only then create things like night shifts and guards.

If Leo could make his move before this happened, he would have a good chance at assassinating the creature.

“...”

Moving through the shadows, Leo slowly made his way into one of the giant trees. He carefully leapt from branch to branch, acting like an assassin.

However, it was necessary because he could see that some of the Drakes were deliberately staying in the area, trying to see if he would follow.

The creatures didn’t even notice as a Lightning Bolt fell on their head, killing them instantly.

By the time Leo could see the whole hill, he had already killed four Drakes.

Kleek...

Another Mana Vibration reverberated throughout the vicinity, making Leo stare in the direction of a massive Drake with white scales and strange antennas on its head.

The antennas vibrated, sending out a weird Mana signal that made the Drakes obediently follow whatever was ordered.

Leo stared at the Drake’s Status window and frowned. It was only Lv. 40, nothing unbeatable, but it had a strange ability.

Leo clicked his tongue and leaned against the rough bark of a tree, rethinking his plan.

Since he now knew he couldn’t kill the Alpha, he needed to come up with a new strategy.

His gaze fell upon the massive White Drake, and an idea suddenly occurred to him. Fenrir was slightly larger than the monster, and if Leo could immobilize it, Fenrir could likely carry it without much difficulty.

A scary smirk crept across Leo’s face, but he made no effort to conceal it.

If he could somehow bring the queen to her deathbed, the Drakes would go berserk. They would follow him wherever he went.

“...”

The plan slowly began to form in Leo’s head as he sat beneath the tree, deep in thought. After a few minutes, he rose from his sitting position and slowly began descending the tree, careful not to make any noise that might alert the Drakes.

Once he reached the ground, he pressed himself warily to the ground and began moving through the shadows cast by the massive trees.

Leo moved with stealth, his movements silent and deliberate. He knew that one wrong move could mean the end of his plan, and possibly even his life. He made his way closer and closer to the hill, his eyes darting back and forth, searching for any signs of danger.

Roar...

As he approached the hill, Leo could see the entire Drake colony in its entirety. There were hundreds of monsters, their scales glinting in the dim light. In the center of the colony, there were eggs the size of a normal dog lying on the ground. Leo’s heart raced as he gazed upon the eggs.

“...”

Carefully, Leo summoned his shadows and ordered them to slip into the shadows of the eggs. He watched with bated breath as Yeti and Skeleton hid themselves near the eggs, blending in with the darkness.

He was aware that the game probably assigned the eggs to the Drake’s family, and his shadows would smash them upon his command.

Leo’s eyes flicked towards the White Alpha. He watched as the creature stood on the hill, its massive body silhouetted against the night sky. The Alpha Drake stood watch over its horde, scanning the surrounding area for any signs of danger.

A group of more muscular Drakes had formed a defensive circle around the Alpha, their scales glinting in the dim light. Leo knew that these were the Alpha’s most loyal and powerful minions, the ones who would die to protect their leader.

“...”

However, Leo didn’t mind the defensive circle; he was determined to get close to the Alpha and take it down, no matter what.

He darted from shadow to shadow, his movements slow and cautious. He avoided being seen by any of the Drakes, keeping his eyes fixed on the Alpha as he moved up the mountain, getting closer and closer to his target.

Kleek...

Suddenly, another Mana wave radiated from the Alpha’s antennas, and it turned towards the direction of the forest.

Leo watched as the Alpha bared its rows of teeth, as if showcasing them towards the greenery. He knew that something had caught the Alpha’s attention, but he couldn’t see anything from his vantage point.

‘What...’

Leo scanned the forest, trying to see what had caught the Alpha’s attention. He saw nothing but the darkness and the dense foliage that surrounded him. But he knew that he couldn’t let his guard down; he needed to be ready for anything.

The Alpha Drake let out a low growl, and Leo felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that the creature was dangerous, and he had to be careful not to alert it to his presence. He pressed himself against the ground, his breath coming in short gasps.

Leo watched as the Alpha Drake turned away from the forest and began to move towards the edge of the hill. He wondered if the creature was going to leave the area, and if this was his chance to get closer to it. But he knew that he couldn’t take any chances; he needed to stay hidden and wait for the right moment to strike.

As the Alpha Drake moved away, Leo took a deep breath and began to move up the mountain once again. He knew that he had to be quick; the creature could turn back at any moment.

Leo darted from shadow to shadow, his movements silent and graceful. He felt like a ghost, invisible to the world around him. He was so focused on his mission that he didn’t notice the group of Drakes that had gathered near the top of the mountain.

Leo froze when he saw them, his heart racing with fear. He knew that he was dangerously close to the Alpha’s minions, and that any sudden movement could mean the end of him. He pressed himself against a nearby rock, his breath coming in short gasps.

Kleek...

The Alpha let out some kind of threatening scream towards the forest, which made Leo freeze in place.

Roar...

Leo’s heart skipped a beat when he heard something roar back. It was deep and powerful, and he knew that it belonged to a creature much larger than the Drakes he had encountered before. He wondered what kind of monster could produce such a sound.

The Alpha Drake turned towards the forest, its nostrils flaring as it sniffed the air. It was clear that the creature was agitated and on high alert. Leo knew that he needed to act fast if he was going to complete his mission.

He looked around, trying to find a way to get past the group of Drakes without being detected. He noticed a narrow gap between two boulders that led towards the top of the hill. It was risky, but it was his best chance.

Leo took a deep breath and made a run for it. He darted between the boulders, hoping that the Drakes wouldn’t notice him. He could feel their hot breath on his back as he squeezed through the narrow gap.

Finally, he emerged on the other side, panting and sweating. He looked up and saw the Alpha Drake staring right at him, its eyes glowing in the dark.

For a moment, Leo froze. He had never been this close to the Alpha before, and he could feel its power emanating from its body. But he knew that he couldn’t back down now. He had to complete his mission, no matter the cost.

“I have no time!”
