When she saw the Alpha dodged her sword strike, Sheila quickly transform the bastard sword in her hands into a long spear within seconds before thrusting her spear straight at it. However, as if it could read the approaching spear, the Alpha smoothly parried her attacks to the side with its sharp claws before charging toward her for a counterattack.

Without a change in her expression, Sheila swiftly protect her body from being tear to pieces by transforming the spear again into a solid shield. Though she managed to defend herself pretty well, she was still pushed a few meters away due to the collision. 

"That's the boss for you." Sheila muttered. Just as she was about to charge and have a second contest of strength, the Alpha howl once again and she could immediately feels the temperature in her surrounding dropped to few celsius colder. To further her astonishment, a few arrows made of ice suddenly materialize next to the Alpha before all of them launch swiftly toward her. 

*Boom!*

The moment she saw the ice arrows slowly materialized, Sheila quickly conjured the same amount of fireballs with a thought before sending it flying toward the incoming projectiles, and exploded. 

It wouldn't be strange if Goblin Shaman used magic since it's a variant known to be expertise in magic, the wolf however, it's strength alone already makes it a good opponent as a floor boss, but for it to also being able to wield magic, floor boss is indeed different than average monsters! 

Before the smoke caused by the explosion disperse to the surrounding, she saw the Alpha popping out of the smoke and charge straight toward her the moment it saw her. 

"Another contest of strength? Fine, bring it on!" Sheila shouted as hot-blooded smile starts to creep to her face without her knowing. 

The moment the Alpha was a few meters away from her, she immediately swing the sword horizontally toward it with all her might. Instead of dodging, her strike was stopped by the two huge metal fangs before it raise it's front-left feet and swing it's sharp claw toward the unprotect Sheila. But to the Alpha's surprise, she burrow herself into shadow, easily avoiding the claw from tearing her to pieces.

Just as she thought she was safe, her danger sense kicks in and she immediately move away from her previous spot which were now pierced by arrows of ice. If she was any later, would she still get hit despite hiding in the shadow? 

This was the first time that she came to know there's a weakness to shadow magic, that is she could still get hit if it's magical attack. Thankfully, it was something that she could dodge, if it had been a wide range of magical attack instead, she won't have survive of the aftermath.

With that said, it seems the soldier-type giant ants were holding back the Fierce Wolf just fine when she looked at them. Despite their numbers a bit higher than the latter, she still worries and thought it might not be enough. But now that she saw they obviously didn't need her help, she can rest easy and put her mind on the battle against Alpha.

With a thought, Sheila came out of the Alpha's shadow along with a wall of flame surrounding her like a protective wall. Her surprise attack was yet easily avoided by the Alpha as it detected a presence behind it and immediately stepped away from it's previous location. 

However, her attack didn't just stop there as a couple of fire arrows swiftly flew out of the wall of fire and head straight toward it, which forced the Alpha to fired a few fireballs as it didn't have the time to dodge the incoming projectiles.

Realizing it is on the receiving ends of her attacks, the Alpha howled and it's entire body were then engulfed in a whirlwind. While she was amazed at its sudden change, she wasn't alarmed by it. It was as she expected, the Alpha had became faster and could easily avoided spell after spells, and eventually, the attacker and defender position were switched.

While the Alpha's attacks are getting fiercer and ruthless, she was slowly adapting to it's speed despite almost losing her limbs couple of times. But she wasn't left without any injury, if one looked closer, they could see many small cuts all over her body. However, the pain was worth it when she saw the whirlwind that surrounded the Alpha dispersing a few minutes later. 

"Heh, it's my turn now. Are you ready? Cause this time I won't be holding back anymore." She said with an evil grin on her face as she quickly transform her sword to a bow before stepping back, putting a distance between them. Of course the Alpha won't just sit there and let her do as she pleased. It suddenly howled as few ice arrows quickly materialized as it also charge toward her, following right behind the ice arrows. 

In response to it, Sheila fired a couple of fireballs causing it to exploded upon impact with the ice arrows. The moment she saw the Alpha bursting forth from the smoke, she immediately throw the spear with all her might at it. Thinking it can still avoid her spear like it had done previously, she also conjured spell after spell. If someone had been there to witness her magic prowess, they would have fainted there and then. Her entire figure were surrounded with many kinds of spells floating mid-air, it was a bizarre sight to say in the least.

Though her mind was in pain as if someone was squishing her brain tightly in their hands, she didn't stop. She keep spamming spell after spell and once she was finally unable to handle the pain, she immediately command it to fly toward the Alpha, all at once. 

*Ka—Boom!*

The sight of the aftermath was definitely something worth remembering. A huge craters surrounded by nothing but ashes was left behind. If anything, she can see her spear embedded deeply in the middle of the craters. Everywhere she looked, she couldn't find the Alpha. It was then the system announcement reached her.
