But he kept running amidst the suffering. He even sighed in relief as he lowered his eyes. Moon Moon was safe!

"Don't worry, buddy. I got you!

" He softly whispered.

"Wooooooo….

"

The little wolf could barely move or talk, but the gratitude in its eyes was obvious. Immediate danger avoided! Jack couldn't help but chuckle a bit. Then, a few seconds later, he was straight up laughing his bleeding ass off!

"Doesn't this remind you of how we met? Back then, we were playing hot wolf!

" He commented with Moon Moon reminiscing.

The little wolf not only remembered but would never forget too. It had been so shocked back then, but it was so glad that it had happened.

It let its body be cradled in its master's warm arms blissfully. Fear and stress lost all meaning. There remained only warmth.

That's when its body jerked in shock. Whenever it thought of its master, it felt the restriction on it…loosen?! Why?! But then it realized the answer…Obviously, it was because of its master's heroic aura!!!

Jack felt the little wolf come back alive in his arms: finally!

After all, it was about time for the debuff to run out! Shouts were always time-limited. Still, he couldn't help but shudder. This ability could have easily wiped out a whole party!

"Woo!

" (I'm back, bony bitches!)

"S-sure! Let's destroy them!

" Jack gave a wry smile. Hadn't the little wolf picked up that nickname a bit too fast?! Oh well, whatever….

They both got to work:

1. Repeat previous steps one to six, including all the running.

2. Crush the bone spirits with friendly fire! (And chickens)

3. Ballista time mother**er! (Still shooting the crotch)

The Titan fell once again, and they were able to deal mad damage to the bone cocoon the Necromancer was hiding in! Of course, mad damage meant:

-1

-1

-1

-1

"Fuck him up real good!

" Jack thundered.

"Woo!

" (Hell yeah!)

Any hikikomori seeing them at work would have been **ting their pants! They were that motivated in getting that poor lich out of its shell! It didn't help that they were even taunting it as they did.

"Come on out! You gotta leave your comfort zone!

"

"Woo!

" (Taunting!)

"Here's a riddle! What is white and would look nice in a wolf's maw?

"

"Woo!

" (Playful!)

The both of them were ushering the poor lich to come out to play with them. But the creature wanted nothing to do with them at all!

"NoOoOo! Go aWaY!! LeAvE Me aLoOoNe!!!

" It uselessly cried, but so what?!

"Oh well, guess we'll have to help you out. Don't worry: we're about to breach!

" Jack reassured.

But soon enough, the golem was repaired once more.

The difference this time was that it seemed about to falter. There were obvious cracks on all its surface. They'd probably only need a few repetitions to get rid of it for good!

"Let's see what you'll come up with this time!

" Jack shouted with both curiosity and reluctance. Couldn't it just obediently die for good?!

Along with more words of power, the golem began to glow completely. The two partners couldn't help but stare with bulging eyes. What the ** was that?!

The bone titan now had a black fog engulfing it. Then it quickly shaped itself into what seemed to be….a goddamn armor?!

It was going all dark knight on them with a complete plate-looking carapace!

Luckily it didn't seem to improve its offensive power at all. They were still barely able to dodge its stomps! Before long, they were shooting at it with a ballista…. that's when the trouble began.

The projectile flew straight and true…toward its crotch?! (No comment) But just as it was about to make contact, a red barrier appeared protecting its body. It instantly deflected the bolt, sending it crashing back at Jack!

Oh, **!! It buried itself deep into the ground, right next to him. Had he not thrown himself on the side, he would have been one-shot! What the hell?!

Were they supposed to keep shooting at it until it ran out of energy? But just as Jack was lost in his thoughts (still running), Moon Moon yelped to get his attention.

"Woo!!!

" (Excited!)

It was pointing toward the giant golem with its tiny paws. It had noticed a detail that had even escaped Jack! Sharp wolf sight for the win!

There were plenty of very small and barely noticeable red gems in the thing's armor. This was its apparent weakness!

"Nice catch Moon Moon!

" Jack praised as he grabbed a random chicken lying around, dismantling the poor undead to bones.

"Let's try this!

" He powerfully threw a sharp bone straight at the weak spots! It flew quickly and collided with the red energy barrier, turning into bone dust.

Jack couldn't help but click his tongue in annoyance. But then he suddenly thought of something. Even now, there was still the singing of the FML in the background. What if….

"Jack, use fireball!

" He shouted seemingly at himself.

His blood-infused flames flew toward the golem as he held his breath. The spell easily bypassed the protective shield and destroyed the thing's jewels!!! Victory!!

As the red glowing shield disappeared, the two genuinely cheered. This time they'd obliterate it!

They got to shooting again, with every projectile destroying a part of the armor again. This thing was resistant! But after five shots, it finally crumbled once more.

They rushed forward and dispensed another round of beatings!

-1

-1

-1

-1

But this time, it was different. With the very last hit, the protective bone cocoon finally exploded! It was time for revenge! They prepared to kill the lich, only for its body to fall on the ground lifelessly…

"Woo?!

" (Confused!)

The little wolf warily slapped the cadaver that appeared with its tiny paw. Was it trying to play dead?!

"It's gone for real.

" Jack sighed as he relaxed his tense body.

"Look around.

" He instructed.

The flying bones spirits were all falling to the ground, and the chicken undead had all stopped moving. This was over, truly so.

The poor undead had run out of mana.

For living creatures, it wasn't that big of a deal. For a lich, however, it was the end of the line! No mana no laifu! It was nothing more than an inanimate skeleton now.

"Woo?! Woo!

" (Triumphant!)

Moon Moon howled in toward Heaven, happy at their glorious victory! How many times had they died in there? Many! But now they were done! Nothing could stand in the face of its master and it!

As for Jack, he wasn't celebrating. He was so busy touching the decrepit corpse all over! Loot! Loot! Loot! Where was it?!

Then he finally found what he had been searching for. There was a grimoire in the creature's robe: it appeared as powerful as mysterious. It was made of bones and was full of death demonic energy!

Holy **! He'd play with old corpses of old dudes daily if it meant getting such awesome rewards!

On the cover figured an incredible, awe-inspiring title:

Wait….cluck?! Jack opened it in a rush. All pages were about raising undead chickens!! Yep, he should have expected that…

Even then, he was still grinning, his smile so damn large that it was blinding.

It was learning time…
