*Awoo!*
The wolf at the forefront—the largest of the pack—howled loudly as it charged toward Leon.
Its fiery red eyes burned with anger and hatred, as if it intended to tear the man apart mercilessly.
But Leon showed no fear. He leaped high, dodging the wolf's attack, then swiftly darted past it.
Defeating the pack leader would be like taking down all of them at once—but that wasn't his goal. He wanted to savor the fight and hone his swordsmanship.
After all, opportunities like this were rare.
Floating mid-air, Leon's eyes locked onto the gray wolf at the center of the pack. He lunged forward, raising the Holy Sword of Zenith high.
"Hero Technique: Five Dragon Steps!"
*Slash!*
His body spun like a top, and in an instant, the wolf was cleaved in two.
Dark red blood gushed like a fountain, with organs—intestines among them—scattering across the ground.
The remaining wolves widened their eyes in shock. But a few seconds later, an overwhelming killing intent filled their gaze.
