But some people still did not want to leave the field after I threatened them.
So I dashed with all my might and threw a person around my age to the ground.
Thud!
He did not have time to react, as I was way faster than the average person.
And especially for a person like this who has not leveled up, this exchange was not fair at all.
I unsheathed my sword and held it towards his throat. After killing so many monsters, I manifested some kind of killing intent.
Combined with the monsters blood on my shirt, it probably made a terrifying scene.
"I am not joking. If you don't leave the field, I will kill you".
As I saw the fear in the person, I pulled my sword back and sheathed it.
"Let this be a warning".
I saw people leave the field immediately after.
Threatening them was something I didn't want to do, but I didn't have a lot of time before the wolf spawned.
So it was a desperate move, and I might have injured the guy a little as I used a little force.
But it was better for him to get slightly injured than die to the wolf. So I felt a lot better.
This threat method was very efficient, so I should probably continue to use this method.
Now all I had to do was wait for the wolf to spawn, and I looked at the clear condition.
[Clear Condition]
- Kill 1000 monsters [485/1000].
Ok, good. There are only 15 goblins left before the wolf spawns.
The fear that I felt in my first regression is long gone now.
Instead, the feeling of wanting to kill the wolf was more intense than all my other feelings.
It was safe to say that my anger was bigger than my fear.
The wolf caused me so much pain, both mentally and physically.
You could say that it was the wolf's fault that it was taking this long to clear the floor.
Or at least it had a big part.
I was angry, but not dumb. The wolf was probably a lot stronger than I was, even with the level-ups I have gotten.
But I couldn't be sure, as I haven't met the wolf in a long time.
The only thing I could do was wait for the wolf to spawn.
After a few minutes,
[Announcement: 500 monsters have been killed!]
[Announcement: A special monster will spawn in the field!]
[Announcement: Monsters will not appear until the special monster has been defeated!]
Ripple!
Out of the portal, the wolf came out slowly, with his claws first, then his sharp fangs, and soon his whole body could be seen.

But the immense pressure that I felt the first time is not here at all now.
After all these months of training, it has paid off in the end.
"Hahaha" I couldn't help but laugh as I realized how much I had improved.
It didn't give off immense pressure, but it did exude something else.
It was an aura that I could sense after killing so many goblins.
'This wolf is strong."
I felt a powerful strength, but it wasn't so powerful that I felt powerless.
A completely different feeling appeared instead.
"It's doable"
It was doable in the sense that it was going to take a lot of attempts to kill it.
Just like how you have to defeat a strong boss in a videogame.
You know it's hard and that it's going to take a lot of tries, but it wasn't impossible to defeat the strong boss.
This was exactly the feeling I had when I looked at the wolf.
But instead of a videogame, it was real life.
I tried to look into the fierce eyes of the wolf.
As I was the only one on the field, it soon felt my presence.
So naturally, the wolf would begin to lock eyes with me.
I gave the look that the wolf was a strong opponent that I had to defeat.
But the wolf did not look at me in the same way; it looked at me like I was its prey, and it wanted to kill me no matter what.
It was not wrong for the wolf to think that I was its prey.
But nonetheless, it still made me annoyed.
'This prey is not going to stand still while you kill it'
"Well, what are you waiting for? Come at me!"
As soon as I gave that provocation, the wolf started to charge at me.
And at the same time, I imbued my legs with mana and leapt off with an amazing force.
Because of the force, a small hole could be seen at the spot where I leaped.
We charged towards each other, intending to finish each other and not willing to give the upper hand.
We were finally so close to each other that the wolf tried to attack me.
But I wasn't going to just stand still and take a beating.
I knew that it was going to take a lot of attempts to defeat the wolf.
But that didn't mean I was going to give up.
Instead, I wanted to at least injure the wolf.
So as it attacked, I imbued my sword with all my mana and strength.
I swung it towards the wolf that was in the middle of its attack.
But instead of continuing to attack, it dodged backwards, barely avoiding my slash, and it continued to dash backwards to increase the space between us.
"F*ck"
It's way too fast. It was in the middle of its attack, but it still somehow barely dodged.
It probably sensed the strength in my sword and decided that it would be better to dodge instead of taking it head-on.
But that was also a good thing. Because now I knew that my attack was seen as a threat to the wolf.
"Scared?" I said this while smiling.
Which made me want to taunt the wolf.
Howling!
I didn't know if the wolf understood what I said, but it must have sensed the taunting.
The prey that you thought was weak was actually stronger than you imagined.
And now it's taunting you. That was probably the feeling it had.
The wolf dashed at me after howling.
And I intended to do the same, as I didn't want to be a still target.
So when it dashed towards me, I dashed at the same time.
I intend to clash with it no matter what.
But this time I showed my left side open, trying to bait it to attack there.
This time, it didn't directly clash with me; instead, it dodged to the side, trying to bite my left side.
'Too predictable'
I let that side be open on purpose.
And just like how a fish gets hooked on a bait, the wolf did exactly the same.
I rotated my body immediately and swung my sword towards its face.
It dodged backwards again, but it couldn't completely avoid the attack.
Which was evident by the wound that was visible right under its right eye.
'F*ck, I missed it's eye'
I dashed immediately towards the wolf after it landed. I was not intending to give it any pauses.
But suddenly, it vanished from my line of sight in an instant.
'What?!'
I quickly turned around to see that the wolf was behind me.
In the wolf's jaws, it had something in its mouth.
And at that very moment, I could feel a sharp pain in my left shoulder.
I tried to see why I felt pain around my left shoulder.
But I came to the realization that my left arm was completely gone.
Glancing back at the wolf again, I saw a hand sticking out of its mouth.
[Skill activation]
- Perfect Clear [X]
[Returning to the moment you first entered this floor]
"F*ck"
And my vision went dark.
*****
The same blue sky was visible again, indicating that I lost again.
I stood up to stretch my body.
"F*ck, it vanished at the end, and my left arm was gone."
How did it do that? I couldn't see it move at all.
It must have been too fast for me to see, and that's how it bit my arm off.
'Is it a skill?'
Can monsters have skills? If we players have skills, it is also highly possible for the monsters to also have skills.
But that just made killing the wolf more annoying.
"Well, I just have to try again."
*****
After killing many goblins, it was finally time again.
I was standing in the field, and I made the same threatful move as last time.
It was very efficient, as I saw the people leave the field immediately.
I looked at the clear condition.
[Clear Condition]
- Kill 1000 monsters [493/1000].
After a minute or so,
[Announcement: 500 monsters have been killed!]
[Announcement: A special monster will spawn in the field!]
[Announcement: Monsters will not appear until the special monster has been defeated!]
Ripple!
