The horse galloped down the ash-covered road.
Adam didn't need to spur it on; the beast could sense the tension in the air. The smell of blood and burning wood hung over the land like a warning that no one could ignore.
In the distance, columns of smoke marked the spots where the Rank I and II monsters had attacked when a gap opened in the wall.
There was no time to lose.
A pack of wolves emerged from the right hillside, descending in disorderly formation, drawn by the movement. Their silver coats reflected intermittent flashes of lightning.
Adam didn't slow down.
The mana covered his body like a second skin, and the moment the first wolf leaped, he drew his sword.
Black petals spiraled around his figure, swirling like a dark crown. The blade cut through the air with precision.
The first wolf fell before it hit the ground; the second lost its head in the same movement; the third was split diagonally as the horse continued forward without breaking stride.
