Stage: Elite 3-Star
Ranking: B-Level 5-Star
Even though it was weaker in ranking than an A-Level familiar, this Twin-Headed Wolf Fae had a huge advantage in stage, completely balancing out the gap.
And in terms of stats, it was a complete counter to Yelena and Sawako.
According to military intel, this Twin-Headed Wolf Fae should be the strongest monster in this Blood Cultivation Realm.
Yelena and Sawako had expected to meet it deep in the forest, but instead, it had shown up early.
"Hmph! Don't underestimate us!" Sawako steadied herself and gave the order to the Centaur on her side.
"Multi-Shot!"
The Centaur drew its bow and shot off a volley of arrows.
Each shot sent three lightning-wrapped arrows flying.
In just a few seconds, there were nine shots, twenty-seven arrows in total, all hitting the Twin-Headed Wolf Fae at the same time.
But the arrows only left shallow blood trails on the wolf's body - and then were deflected by its sharp fur.
Even the lightning attached to the arrows was absorbed by the ground thanks to The Earth's Embrace.
Seeing this, Sawako herself was shocked.
Her Centaur had always been a one-shot kill against normal monsters.
This was the first time it had been completely neutralized.
"Damn it, it's useless!" Sawako cursed, quickly jumping back onto her Centaur's back and dodging a fireball that nearly hit her.
After Logan's last sneak attack, Yelena and Sawako had realized their weakness.
A familiar tamer with a low stage had their own body as the biggest weakness.
No matter how strong the familiar was, if the tamer died, it was all over.
Sawako sat on her Centaur's back, quietly sighing.
That fireball had been way too fast - she had almost turned into a human roast.
"Yelena, hit it!"
With Sawako keeping the Twin-Headed Wolf distracted, Yelena's Icebound Phoenix had already started charging.
Its body turned completely blue, and it was exhaling freezing cold air that made the air shiver.
The cold air quickly turned into ice shards as it hit the ground, turning the grass into a frozen plain.
"Frigid Ray!"
As the Twin-Headed Wolf Fae launched its fireball, the Icebound Phoenix shot a beam of freezing light right back.
In an instant, the Inferno and the ice clashed, creating a massive cloud of steam that wrapped around the battlefield.
While Yelena was keeping the wolf busy, Sawako and her Centaur had recovered.
But just as they were about to regroup and take another shot, a terrifying aura broke through the fog and flew toward them.
When Sawako saw the figure, her face turned pale.
"H-how? There are two wolves!"
"It was still fighting Yelena just now!"
As Sawako was confused, a claw shot out and sliced deep into her Centaur's body.
Though the Centaur managed to kick the wolf at the last second, it didn't do any real damage.
Furious, Sawako ordered her Centaur to charge.
Finally, just as Sawako got close to the wolf shadow, she saw the truth - and her pupils shrunk in shock.
"Yelena, watch out! That wolf can split into two!"
In front of her, the original Twin-Headed Wolf Fae had shrunk in size, and it only had one head left.
The wolf was radiating a thick The Earth aura - calm, heavy, and completely unbreakable.
The two clones each had different stats, and each one was a perfect counter to Sawako and Yelena.
In an instant, both girls were caught in a brutal fight.
Logan watched all of this calmly, then stood up and said, "Hey, you two need help?"
"No!" Yelena and Sawako both said at the same time.
Their pride wouldn't let them ask for Logan's help right now.
Outside the Blood Cultivation Realm.
City Lord Natalia was watching the battle on the screen, her eyes locked on Logan.
This Twin-Headed Wolf Fae was one she had specifically asked the military to put in the Blood Cultivation Realm.
According to her plan, Yelena and Sawako would never be able to beat this Elite 3-Star Twin-Headed Wolf Fae.
"Logan, show me your real skills!" Natalia said, then slowly stepped toward the portal, ready to jump in and save him.
Over the past month, she had done a full investigation on Logan.
A poor, ordinary kid who suddenly became a genius?
This change all started the day he made a pact with a succubus.
She didn't believe for a second that a boy who could summon an angel would only end up with the lowest-level succubus.
Beside Natalia, Principal Mark had already used his familiar power and transformed into a half-beast form.
Unlike Natalia, who was just testing the situation, Mark was more worried about Logan's safety. He didn't want anything bad to happen to him.
"City Lord, the Twin-Headed Wolf Fae is still too strong for them. I think I should go in first, just in case," Mark said, then started to step into the portal.
But the moment he took a step, his whole body hit an invisible wall and stayed on the outside of the Blood Cultivation Realm.
When the others saw this, they were all speechless.
The military staff were sweating bullets.
If anyone inside the Blood Cultivation Realm got hurt, they'd all be in trouble.
As a bunch of Arcane Wardens rushed in to check, they finally realized what had happened - the Blood Cultivation Realm portal had been tampered with from the outside.
"City Lord, the portal on our side has been secretly moved. This one is fake."
"Damn it!" Natalia's face turned red with anger. She stomped her foot and stared back at the screen, at Logan.
"Kid, don't die on me."
But before she could do anything else, the screen went black.
The Blood Cultivation Realm and the outside world were completely cut off.
Everyone turned to look at Natalia. Her face was pale, her aura icy, and her killing intent was barely contained.
"Stay here. Some people are about to get what's coming to them."
With that, Natalia turned around and vanished into the forest.
...
Inside the Blood Cultivation Realm.
Sawako and Yelena had been fighting the Twin-Headed Wolf Fae for a long time, but they still couldn't take it down.
The wolf's cleverness and power had really put them through the ringer.
At this moment, Yelena's skirt was torn to shreds, and Sawako was covered in bloodstains from the cuts all over her body.
Logan had tried to jump in and help more than once, but the two girls were too stubborn - they refused to accept his help.
Finally, with a perfect teamwork move, Sawako and Yelena managed to lift the Twin-Headed Wolf Fae into the air, breaking its The Earth's Embrace protection.
Seizing the chance, Icebound Phoenix and Centaur opened fire - and they took down the wolf's clone in an instant, sealing the victory.
In the end, the other Inferno-stat clone also fell to Yelena and Sawako's attacks.
After this battle, both girls looked less like kids and more like real warriors.
In truth, each of the Twin-Headed Wolf Fae's clones wasn't that strong on its own.
But when both clones worked together, they were a total nightmare.
"Logan, you saw that, right? Without us, you'd already be wolf food." Sawako said, flexing her tiny fists at him.
Yelena leaned on her Icebound Phoenix, smiling as she looked at Logan: "Logan, light the fire again. I'm starving."
But the response she expected never came.
Logan had already stood up, standing next to Lilith, his eyes locked on the deepest part of the forest.
"You two, get behind me."
Roar…
A low, guttural growl echoed through the forest - and both Sawako and Yelena jumped in fear.
When they got behind Logan, they saw a bunch of glowing green eyes flickering in the darkness.
Eight more Twin-Headed Wolf Fae - all with the same eerie aura - appeared in front of them.
When they saw this, Yelena and Sawako's faces turned pale.
Sawako grabbed Logan's sleeve and whispered, "Logan, this time, no jokes. We need to run - or we're all dead."
Yelena didn't say anything, but her eyes were just as determined: "I'll create a path. You guys get out of here."
Logan saw that the two girls hadn't left him behind, and he finally smiled.
He tossed them two nicely cooked leg bones.
"No running. None of us are dying today."
Then he turned to Lilith and said,
"Infernal Saint Form…"
"Infernal Saint Form!"
