Hunt Race

Chapter 73: Breaking the Pace

The wolves attacked again.

Their movements were as coordinated as ever.

One engaged.

One waited.

One remained hidden.

The moment a wolf was forced back...

Another took its place.

The pressure never stopped.

Kael slashed at the wolf before him.

Shhk!

Ripple Slash.

The first strike forced it to retreat.

The second barely missed as the beast slipped away.

Before Kael could advance—

A black blur burst from the shadows.

Clang!

He barely raised his sword in time.

The hidden wolf had appeared again.

It struck once before retreating into the darkness.

Another switch.

Kael frowned.

"They're relentless."

Not far away...

Leon fought with far greater precision.

He never chased a retreating wolf.

Instead...

He waited.

His eyes followed the wolves' movements.

Searching.

Calculating.

Then...

An opening appeared.

The wolf attacking him overextended by a fraction.

Leon stepped in.

His stance lowered.

His grip tightened.

"Piercing Drive."

Boom!

The ground cracked beneath his foot as he burst forward.

His spear became a streak of silver.

Thrust!

The spearhead pierced through the wolf's shoulder.

The beast cried out in pain as the force hurled it across the forest floor.

It crashed into a tree.

Leon didn't hesitate.

He rushed forward.

One more thrust...

And the battle would be over.

Suddenly—

The shadows exploded.

Another Shadow Wolf emerged from Silent Veil, its claws aimed straight for Leon's side.

Clang!

Leon twisted his spear just in time, knocking the attack away.

The impact forced him off balance.

That single moment...

Was enough.

The injured wolf staggered to its feet and limped toward the shadows.

The second wolf immediately moved to cover its retreat.

By the time Leon drove them back...

The wounded wolf had already disappeared beneath the canopy.

The rotation resumed.

Leon clicked his tongue.

"So that's your game..."

Kael silently watched the exchange.

Even when Leon created a perfect opening...

The pack refused to let one of their own fall.
