I summoned another 5 wolves and commanded them to charge towards the goblin leader, all the while evading its minions. The leader smashed in heavy circular motions, but I had already thought ahead and commanded my goblins to leverage the upcoming opening to grab a bite at the unarmed huge goblin.
Blood crawled all over as teeth met flesh and muscle, making the goblin howl. Just as the goblins were about to corner me, I used all of my mana to summon another wolf. As expected, the more mana I used, the stronger the creature.
"Awooo!"
The alpha wolf howled as it materialized below me, directly lifting my body and allowing me to ride on its back. Not risking it, I mentally commanded my alpha wolf to evade the upcoming blows before clawing its way out of the encirclement. The small goblins were apparently no match against the alpha wolf I had just summoned.
Hopping off the alpha wolf, I ran around shifting my positioning as well as commanding the wolf army. The enemy numbers were slowly whittled down.
Having no defensive measures, I had to command my alpha wolf to save me a couple of times, but it was all worth it. The goblin lord was too large and slow against the five agile wolves with the help of my timely telepathic commands. The goblin lord slowly bled out before dying in its own pool of blood.

Finishing off the goblin lord, the wolves immediately switched targets to the smaller goblins, and then the cleanup commenced.
Fifteen minutes later, and a few resummons, I finally cleared the level.

Level Complete. Choose a Reward!

> + Repulse: Knockback surrounding targets. 9 second cooldown.
----------------------------------------
I thought about it, I didn’t really liked 9 second cooldown for repulse, though as cool as teleport was, I picked Mana Drain. One thing I’ve learned in this first battle is that. Mana is critical, in fights. Specially since I don’t have any equipment right now.
Selecting Mana Drain, I reviewed the abilities I currently have.

Opening the reward behind the goblin leaders corpse, I looted single item waiting inside the now open chest.
> Boots of Air Jump - Once Only
Not bad. It would have been better if they were heals though... Or like color pink... On to the next level I guess. Also, good thing I didn’t select blink. Maybe I’ll get a better one in the next level.
Hopefully.
Also, I wonder how many levels this dungeon has.
Oh, well.
