The giant white wolf lunged at Soulshadow Tianyou, jaws snapping shut with a sickening *CRACK!*

But its razor-sharp fangs missed their mark.

At the last possible second, Soulshadow Tianyou arched backward in a perfect ninety-degree bridge. Her ample chest swayed violently as she barely evaded the wolf’s bite.

The wolf’s assault wasn’t over. It twisted midair, landed on all fours, and instantly spun to pounce again—swiping a claw at point-blank range.

Still inverted, hands planted firmly on the ground, Soulshadow Tianyou glared upside-down at the beast. Instead of retreating, she kicked off with both feet, flipping *toward* the wolf.

*ROAR!* The wolf snarled, its white claws slicing through the air like ghostly blades.

Mid-flip, Soulshadow Tianyou pushed hard off the ground, launching herself upward.

*WHOOSH-WHOOSH!* Two crescent-shaped blades spun toward the wolf.

The Crescent Moon Sabers struck the wolf’s torso—but its seemingly soft white fur repelled them with unnatural force.

Unlike the Poison Darts or Poison Kunai, the sabers didn’t vanish. They whirled back, grazing the wolf’s flank before returning to Tianyou.

That graze froze the wolf for one full second…

*99% Absolute Slow Effect activated!*

In that frozen moment, Tianyou dodged the claw strike. She planted both feet on the ram skull mask atop the wolf’s forehead, coiled her legs, and slammed a Poisonous Mushroom against the mask.

***BOOM!***

Purple poison erupted from the wolf’s head.

Tianyou burst out of the toxic cloud, skidding backward two body-lengths before regaining her footing.

As the mist cleared, the wolf reappeared—two health bars vanished from above its head.

*Critical Hit! Weak Point Strike! 10x Damage!*

“So that mask *is* your weak spot…” Tianyou muttered.

She stood wide-legged, one hand braced on the ground, her rear lifted high. Fishnet stockings clung tightly to her plump thighs, her ample chest heaving from exertion. But she had no time to care about her pose. Coldly, she lifted her gaze to the wolf.

The wolf circled slowly, observing Tianyou and the stunned Loli Monkey nearby. It didn’t attack.

“Next time won’t be so easy,” Tianyou said, straightening up.

Hidden Map monsters had absurdly low HP—bosses included. Five Poisonous Mushrooms to the face *should* have finished it. But nothing here was ever simple.

This agile melee boss unnerved her… especially that ram skull mask.

“Master!” The Loli Monkey snapped out of her daze, rushing to Tianyou’s side. She’d been frozen watching her master duel an agile boss head-on—a tactic no sane player would choose.

“Little Monkey, its weak point is the ram skull mask,” Tianyou whispered, subtly dropping ten Slowing Mushrooms around them. Poison didn’t work, but slow did.

“Got it!” The Loli Monkey’s beast ears twitched in understanding.

The wolf paced around them, maintaining distance, its eyes never leaving the pair.

“This one’s… smart,” Tianyou muttered grimly.

“Should we attack first, Master?” The Loli Monkey tightened her grip on the Little Golden Staff.

“Wait for its move,” Tianyou murmured.

Silence stretched between them.

Suddenly—the wolf moved. Its eyes narrowed, lips curling into a snarl as it charged.

“Careful!” Tianyou summoned Poison Darts and a Poison Kunai, gripping them tight. She pulled Little Monkey back one step—right in front of the hidden Slowing Mushrooms and one large decoy.

She feigned caution, trap already set.

Then—two crimson lights flared from the empty eye sockets of the ram skull mask.

The wolf’s expression shifted. Its jaws parted in a sneering grin.

“It can *see* the invisible mushrooms!” Tianyou shouted.

The wolf skidded to a halt just before the mushroom patch. It backflipped, jaws gaping wide—

A white energy orb gathered in its throat. ***BOOM!*** It fired straight at them.
