Chapter 176: Rewarded
Everything happened so quickly as the Silver Werewolf howled in agony, the smell of scorched fur filling the air!
However, Raze wasn't over yet as she spun, her sword tracing a deadly circle around her, fending off the other two Werewolves from its onslaught of claws and teeth.
Three Werewolves attacked her while the others focused on the young Dragon.
Each swing of her Fire Elemental Sword was accurate, each stab and slice were calculated to incapacitate and disarm.
The werewolves, though fierce, were no match for the Dragon Knight's prowess, even if the moon was up!
Raze's movements were fast, her Elemental Sword could barely be parried by the claws of the Werewolves!
Whooosh~
She ducked under a swipe, her blade finding the underbelly of another werewolf, the fire searing the wound instantly.
Another leaped at her from behind, but she pivoted, driving her sword upward through its chest, allowing the flames to consume its heart.
Just like that, only the Silver Werewolf was able to recover and not die immediately!
Raze knew that they had incredible regeneration skills, so she knew that she could not stop her offensive moves…
Soon, the field was consumed with fire as Raze and Roan unleashed their elemental prowess…
Raze remained almost untouched by the werewolves' desperate attacks. After getting used to the movements of the Silver Werewolf, she was able to continuously wound her opponent until it was no longer able to regenerate!
At this time, Raze's Dragon's Might, Aura of the Wyrn, Mind Clarity, and Bond Amplification had also ended…
Thankfully, it was the same moment the last Werewolf fell, its body was smoldering while Raze stood beside it.
Her breathing was steady while her sword was still ablaze. This time, Roan also became smaller. With this size, Raze would not be able to ride him anymore.
The night reclaimed its stillness, the only evidence of the battle the scorched earth and the Dragon Knight standing victorious under the cold gaze of the moon.
'This is the price for committing such terrible acts… If you're going to kill someone, you should just do it and not commit those unspeakable acts in front of their lover…' Raze sight as she collected the ears of the Werewolves before sending it to the Requestor.
After the Requestor confirmed that the Werewolves' ears were indeed from the criminals he was looking for, he sent the Rare Survivor Scroll to Raze through the trading system…
Raze smiled after seeing it in her inventory, but as she was about to thank the Requestor, she realized that he had already disappeared.
"Mhmm?"
Raze frowned at this, as there were two possible reasons why the name of the man had disappeared from her friend list. It was probably because she was removed from the Friend List or the man was already dead.
Raze could only sigh at this and could only hope that the man still chose to live even after completing his vengeance.
"That's no longer my concern…" Raze muttered as she started looting the Werewolves she and her Dragon killed.
With her second Seeker title, she would gain an additional 2% Experience Points that helps her increase her Level and Skill a lot faster…
After this, she finally checked her Rare Survivor Skill Scroll.
She took it out of her Inventory and carefully unfurled the Rare Survivor Skill Scroll…The parchment glowed with an ethereal light, hinting at the extraordinary power it contained within.
Then, the Apocalypse System notified her of its contents.
[ Seven Shadow Steps: Harness the darkness of the night to execute the elusive Seven Shadow Step technique. This advanced short-distance movement skill allows the user to meld with the shadows, swiftly traversing the battlefield with unparalleled speed and stealth.

"Ohhh…"
As Raze pondered the newfound skill bestowed upon her, a thought crossed her mind.
"This is perfect for him…"
The Shadow Step technique was tailor-made for Shane, the enigmatic Shadow Strider and clan leader of the Eclipse Revenant. His nickname and mastery of stealth would undoubtedly elevate this skill to new heights of lethality and finesse.
A mischievous grin played on Raze's lips as she envisioned the possibilities.
"Perhaps I can barter this Rare Skill Scroll for a sum of 100 Item Upgrade Crystals…" she mused, a hint of amusement coloring her voice.
With a chuckle, she securely stowed the parchment in her inventory… It would have to wait until it was in the skilled hands of Shane to unlock its true power…
Raze knew that this Seven Shadow Steps Skill would just be wasted on her, who would soon be riding her Dragon almost 90% of the time…
***
With all of this matter settled Raze's attention turned to the Mysterious Compass she had secured from the Auction.
During the auction, the description of this item only said that it could point to the nearest unclaimed resource within a 3-mile radius.
There was also a note saying that some treasures are guarded and this Compass only works with a 50% chance as well.
However, after obtaining it in the auction, Raze was able to see its full description.
