The dead Shadow Wolf lay motionless.
Blood seeped into the forest floor.
The remaining two wolves didn't move.
Their emerald eyes remained fixed on the fallen body.
A low growl rumbled through the clearing.
Then...
The larger of the two stepped forward.
Its gaze settled on Kael.
The smaller wolf circled to the side.
Leon rested his spear across his shoulder.
"They're angry."
Kael didn't answer.
He had already noticed.
The two wolves no longer bothered with Silent Veil.
Their perfect rotation had vanished with their companion.
Now...
Only rage remained.
Without warning—
The larger wolf lunged.
Its speed was greater than before.
Clang!
Kael barely caught the claws.
The impact numbed his arms.
The second wolf attacked from the side.
Leon intercepted it.
Bang!
The shaft of his spear slammed into its ribs, knocking it away.
The larger wolf pressed Kael relentlessly.
Claw.
Bite.
Claw.
It attacked without pause.
Kael retreated three steps before planting his foot.
The wolf leaped again.
This time...
Kael didn't move.
Its claws descended.
Ripple Slash.
Shhk!
The first slash cut across its chest.
The wolf ignored the wound.
It forced itself forward.
Its jaws snapped inches from Kael's face.
The second slash followed.
Shhk!
A deeper cut opened across its neck.
The beast staggered.
For the first time...
It retreated.
Not to hide.
To breathe.
Leon glanced over while driving his own opponent back.
"They've lost their discipline."
Kael nodded.
"They're fighting on instinct now."
The larger wolf let out a furious howl.
The second answered.
Their eyes met for only a moment.
Then...
Both wolves charged Kael together.
Leon frowned.
"So that's your choice."
He tightened his grip on his spear.
Mana surged through its shaft.
"Flash Pierce."
Boom!
Leon burst forward.
The distance between him and the wolf vanished in an instant.
Thrust!
The spear flashed like a streak of light, piercing through the Shadow Wolf's shoulder before it could react.
The impact hurled the beast across the clearing.
Crash!
Its body slammed into a nearby tree.
The larger wolf froze for the briefest moment.
That single hesitation...
Was all Kael needed.
He stepped forward.
His sword rose.
"Ripple Slash."
