Their goblin prisoner continued to scream at them in its language long after they looted the wolves and left the scene of the fight. Rydr held the monster with both its feet and hands restrained in either of his huge palms as the team sped through the forest.

All the while, Syrna, and Rydr used their [Eyes] to peer past the curtain of darkness around them. 

Eventually, they were half a kilometer from the fight and paused to give Syrna time with the goblin. Originally, the team feared keeping it under control, as the beast was on the cusp of level ten.

The archer surprised them by holding the monster down herself. Apparently, the blonde never slacked in her progress as a pure Strength archer. 

Since his services weren't needed, Rydr conference with the others while Syrna focused on the goblin. The Titan kept his eyes on the forest as the others discussed the fight.

"That was insane, dude. Where did that damage come from?" Urginok openly admired the teen's attacks as he whispered to him.

Hermes pointed at Niko and Rydr, "Their buffs let me do it. But, I attacked the weak point of a canine's skull. Coupled with my speed and enhanced damage, the game had to give me the insta-kill."

The others nodded as they listened to Hermes' guess. Damage wasn't just a formula in Frontier Online. It was logical. The wolf couldn't live with a dirk shoved more than halfway through its brain. 

So the game killed the canine instantly. 

A similar event happened with Rydr's wolf and in a few of his previous fights. Past a certain point, the game acknowledged physics, regardless of level suppression. Maybe, if the wolve's were [Alpha's] instead of high-level base wolves, they might have withstood their opening attacks. 

A nebulous upgrade seemed to happen to a monster when they evolved. Whatever it was rebuilt them from the ground up. Made their bones and muscles denser, harder. It wasn't until the [Alpha] was severely weakened by the Titan that he was able to break its spine and finish it off. 

Unfortunately, they wouldn't have it so easy going forward. The goblins were sure to be more dangerous. The little beasts were sentient, even if that was a little generous, making them far more dangerous than a small pack of distracted wolves.

Hermes went on to explain that he was too fast. The teen arrived next to the wolf before he knew what was going on and barely had time to brace his dirk. 

Everyone witnessed the result. Hermes went tumbling end over end on contact with the enemy, with his hand destroyed by the attack. 

However, it apparently paid off. Hermes shared two notifications with the group- sans Syrna. The first notification was a feat, while the second seemed familiar to Rydr.
