"Sir, something doesn't seem right.""It looks like it's noticed us.""Wasn't it supposed to only target the Dragorians? Why is it heading toward us?""Don't panic, maybe it's just a coincidence. Look ahead, that's the most densely populated area of Dolsor."Cannis glanced over and immediately felt relieved.Sure enough, in the direction the monster was charging, there lay an area densely packed with at least fifty thousand people."It seems it really does have a keen sense of smell like a wolf, instantly pinpointing where there are many people.""Hehe, this is going to be quite a spectacle.""Until the powerhouses from Dragoria arrive, it might just pick off a few of them.""With a monster like that, even if the powerhouses do show up, they might end up getting gobbled up too."Cannis and the others discussed eagerly, anticipating the unfolding drama.Several minutes later, they noticed the monster had reached the vicinity of the densely populated area. However, just as the
As the others followed at a slower pace, they managed to enter the tunnel before the monster arrived. Just as they took refuge inside, the monster reached them.With a heavy thud, the monster leaped from a distance and landed at the tunnel entrance. Inside, nearly a hundred people led by Cannis huddled in the Bruins’ secret base. They dared not even breathe.Seeing the monster lingering outside the entrance, unable to enter, Cannis and the others breathed a sigh of relief. But they couldn't comprehend why the monster was targeting them. And it wasn’t just them—Richie, Kieron, Mad-Vision, Eden, Wynone, and others were equally puzzled."What’s happening? Why didn’t the noise from the tallest building attract it?" Richie asked, bewildered.Kieron frowned, feeling even more anxious because he was the one who provided the Zero Toxin. If something went wrong, Richie would surely blame him."Could it be something they have on them that’s attracting it?" Kieron suggested.Richie nodded i
"Roar!"Deep within the tunnel, a group of people suddenly heard a loud roar. Some brave souls cautiously peeked out and saw a blue flame lighting up the entire tunnel.The giant wolf monster was completely engulfed in flames. With a deafening roar, the heat from the flames caused the temperature inside the tunnel to rise sharply."It's over! It's coming in!""What do we do? If we stay here, we're dead for sure.""Let's run!"While the group contemplated their options, the first person who had looked out already bolted from the entrance of the secret base, then crawled and ran toward another exit of the tunnel. Although the tunnel had been abandoned, it was still passable. The Bruins’ secret base was located almost midway through the tunnel, about two to three hundred meters from both ends.After the first person ran out, several others followed, while some stayed behind to observe.For these people, two to three hundred meters wasn't too far. They were quite strong and could r
In Eden’s heart, a vague bad feeling began to emerge.Meanwhile, in the small village in Novena...Inside a shack, Richie was sitting with Kieron, staring in disbelief at the individuals who had rolled out of the tunnel entrance and turned into ashes."Emalwolf... How could you attack your own people?!" Richie exclaimed. He turned to Kieron and asked, "You're familiar with Zero Toxin. Do you know what's going on? What exactly is attracting the monster? If we can figure this out, we might be able to control it."Kieron had already been pondering this question and had a suspicion. However, he was reluctant to voice it.But under Richie's intense gaze, Kieron reluctantly spoke up. "Perhaps what's attracting it is the people themselves... They’re all from Novena. The monster might harbor an even greater hatred toward Novenians."Boom!In that instant, Richie's mind went blank.The Emalwolf-monster hating people from Novena more than it hated anyone else wasn't impossible. In life,
A sizzling sound emanated from the monster’s nostrils. Then, it opened its large mouth, and blue flames surged out like a flood, sweeping toward the nearly hundred people inside the secret base. Wherever the flames passed, the ground crackled, metal frames melted, and flammable items like wooden chairs and tables burst into flames.Amid screams, nearly a hundred people, including Cannis, were engulfed in flames that burned without needing oxygen. In less than half a minute, they were reduced to ashes.Cannis was dead.Due to the unbearable heat, the secret base began to collapse. The monster quickly turned around and, with a few leaps, ran out and arrived at the tunnel entrance. It stood on the mountainside, quietly overlooking Dolsor below.The scattered big shots, including Richie, Kieron, and Eden, understood one thing after witnessing this scene—the group of people inside the tunnel was already dead. From the moment the monster entered the tunnel until it came out, only a few m
"In my opinion, we should swiftly dispatch strong warriors and initiate evacuations for the residents of Dolsor!"Several elders voiced their opposition, concerned about the situation. But despite the dissent, Brice maintained a calm smile. He had unwavering trust in Adrian.While he had considered the possibility of the wolf monster breaking free from Adrian's control, Adrian was currently in Dolsor. Even if the monster went rogue, Adrian's formidable abilities would surely handle it with ease.Bam!Suddenly, Tommy slammed his hand on the table. "Brice, don't think you can act recklessly just because Adrian supports you!" He glanced around at the gathered elders. "Everyone, given the gravity of the situation, we can’t afford to ignore it. Dolsor, though not vast, has a densely populated area with over three million residents. Any misstep could lead to casualties in the millions!"One elder monitoring a large spherical display then suddenly exclaimed, drawing everyone's attention.
Richie furrowed his brow."What's going on with your people, Richie? We agreed that the tallest building would be demolished for me, but where have they disappeared to?" demanded Mad-Vision in a commanding tone.Despite both being powerful figures, Mad-Vision hailed from Falconia, while Richie was from Novena. The significant difference in their nations' strengths gave Mad-Vision a sense of superiority.Richie was displeased with Mad-Vision's tone but dared not show it. Currently, Novena relied on Falconia's support to challenge Dragoria and stir up trouble there. Without Falconia's backing, Novena would be in serious jeopardy. Given Dragoria's current strength, Novena could be annihilated within a month."I apologize, but we haven't yet determined what's happening. Rest assured, we will honor our agreement," Richie replied, sounding notably submissive."It had better be that way. Otherwise, you'll face the consequences," threatened Mad-Vision.Richie turned away and contacted Me
"How about we get out of the carriage and let these two women drive to distract that monster?" Ronnie suggested.Just as Ronnie finished speaking, Mervin heard a startled cry from behind. Mervin glanced back and spotted a figure engulfed in blue flames closing in rapidly. Upon closer inspection, it was the monster."How is it so fast?" Mervin exclaimed in terror.As a level eight warrior, Mervin's vision, judgment, and reaction speed were far superior. No matter how fast the vehicle was, he could handle it. Yet, the monster outpaced them, moving faster than sound.With a roar and a blast of heat, the monster was suddenly right in front of them.Mervin was taken aback. Before the carriage could stop completely, he kicked open the door and leaped out. Ronnie waited for the carriage to slow before following suit. Once clear, they sprinted toward a nearby rocky hill for cover.The two women left in the carriage were paralyzed with fear. Seeing the monster just a few hundred meters aw
