The Wyrmscourge Wolves howled as they circled the ruined street, cracked asphalt and broken buildings forming a jagged hunting ground with several giant trees decorated those buildings.
Their scales shimmered faintly under the gray sky, power leaking from their fangs as they lunged again and again.
Nina stepped forward without hesitation.
Her giant greatsword crashed down like a falling tower.
"Out of my way."
The blade cleaved straight through a wolf's armored skull, smashing it into the ground with a thunderous impact. The shockwave rippled outward, tossing dust and shattered concrete into the air. Another wolf tried to flank her, only for Nina to twist her wrist and swing sideways. The sheer weight behind the strike snapped its spine mid leap.
Selene watched from the rear.
"She hasn't lost any strength," Selene murmured. "If anything…"
"She's stronger," Kyouka said quietly.
