Chapter 133
It was the moment just before the White Dire Wolf could deliver the killing blow.
BOOM!
Jake stood dazed by the majestic sight of Khal, who had suddenly appeared and cleaved the White Dire Wolf in two.
‘He’s alone, without even a suit of armor…’
“Can you move, Jake?”
“Ye—Yes, sir!”
At the sound of his name, Jake scrambled to his feet, straightening his back. He was more than a little flustered to recognize that Khal was the same boy he had encountered back at the castle.
‘Just who on earth is this person?!’
The answer didn’t come from Khal, but from Mark, the vice commander of the knights.
“It’s dangerous, Commander!!”
“C—Commander?”
He must have misheard. Jake felt a wave of dizziness as he remembered the way he had badmouthed Khal, a man he hadn’t even properly met.
Grrrr…
Khal’s arrival didn’t just affect the people; it had a profound impact on the monsters as well. The White Dire Wolves, who had been toying with the knights until now, bristled their fur and stood their ground, warily watching Khal.
‘Are the Dire Wolves… trembling?’
Upon closer inspection, the wolves surrounding Khal were frozen in place, unable to move. The one-eyed alpha leader, eventually shaking off its fear, lunged forward.
CRACK!
Then, the leader’s body exploded. Shards of bone, fur, and blood sprayed in every direction. It was the result of a wolf carcass, infused with Khal’s Aura, being kicked directly into the alpha.
“T-That’s impossible!”
Frua, who understood the mechanics of what had just occurred better than anyone, stood with his entire body frozen in shock.
