"Vlad moved into the army of undeads alone," Hugo muttered, activating Sword Aura on his saber. "What kind of seniors are we to make a junior face all the burden?"
He stepped forward, moving towards the undeads that were about to break through the crystal barriers of Vix.
"I accept that I'm not strong enough to help him," he continued, the Aura on his saber rising, his eyes turning emerald. "The least I can do is to not hold him back!"
He grabbed his saber with both hands and shouted, swinging it in a wide horizontal arc.
"Wind Saber Art: Manifestation of Wolf King!"
With the swing of his blade, a massive wolf of emerald energy materialised.
Its presence alone sent ripples of storm outward, sending several undeads backward.
"Th-that is Aura manifested into physical form," Alisha gasped, her eyes widening. "Hugo reached the level of Marshal Knight."
