WHUUSH!!
Validia's body blurred as she vanished from view.
The wolf didn't even get to blink.
Its neck twisted, its crystal cracked, and then—
BAAAAMMM!!
its body slammed into the pavement hard enough to leave a crater.
Nathan's breath caught. Blood still dripped from his shoulder, his chest rose and fell like a broken engine, but his eyes couldn't stop tracking her.
Validia wasn't just supporting him anymore.
She was leading the charge.
Another wolf leapt from behind, mid-air— fangs bared.
Validia turned slightly.
CRACK!
Her elbow shattered the wolf's jaw.
Nathan blinked. That thing moved at over 200 km/h. And she still reacted in time?
"...Hah…"
He tried to stand, but his legs trembled. Not from injury.
From something else.
Fear.
Of her.
He had been feeling like a powerful protagonist for past few chapters But that all gone again because of the reality in front of his eyes.
This was raw power.
Feral. Perfectly controlled.
And not human.
