The savage hyena was looking at them with blood lust.
"I have to get out of here... quickly!" He commanded the eagle, "Eagle, fly towards the south—to the cave!"
It instantly flew upward to maintain distance from the savage hyena, but it was too late.
BLAZZZ...ZZ!
The savage hyena’s mouth began glowing with a blue ray as it rapidly condensed.
"Hurry up... fly!" He looked back toward the savage hyena just as it burst the attack straight at them in midair.
[System Alert]
⚠ Savage Hyena has activated [Sonic Howl]! ⚠
The blast almost hit him.
"I’m dead... ha." He gave a pathetic smile.
The eagle caught sight of it and, instantly threw Nawfi and the girl toward the bushes, knowing the attack would strike it instead.
"What?" Nawfi was confused.
The Savage Hyena noticed and changed its projectile toward him. The eagle flapped hard, swooping back in front of Nawfi and the girl, covering them with its body.
"No... Eagle!!"
BOOMMM!
The blast hit the Eagle, falling.
At the sa ti, Nawfi and the girl were also falling from high.
"Use all the Sli Monster Cards!" he shouted,
[You have used the Sli Monster Card] Remaining: 0
So slis appeared beneath them and sohow they landed safely on the ground.
[Five Monster Cards: Sli — Died]
"Sorry... guys!" he said, his voice heavy with sorrow.
The slis wobbled happily around him, relieved to see him safe.
[Your Monster Card: Eagle — Badly Injured]
He looked toward the Eagle’s direction , his heart filled with regret . "It sacrificed itself to protect ... ahh... damn it!"
[Monster Card: All Bloodthirsty Rabbits — Defeated]
"No... not now... ahh... Nawfi, think of sothing fast! Damn it!"
He quickly checked the storage in a rush.
GRAARRR..... HOOOWLL...
The Savage Hyena began attacking the other summoned monsters.
[Monster Card: Ogre — Heavily Injured]
"No... it’s not ti to think anymore! We need to get out of here!" he yelled, clicking his status panel.
Nawfi noticed it preparing another Sonic Wave—this ti, the energy felt even stronger than before, glowing with an intense brightness.
He quickly clicked on a Monster Card, "Damn!"
He wasn’t sure what would happen, and as the blinding ray from the blast shone toward him, he instinctively shut his eyes.
Suddenly, a chilling fog spread across the battlefield, making the entire environnt turn cold.
"What...? Did it work?" he asked himself in confusion.
An ice spell had stopped the attack from hitting him.
[You have used Epic Monster Card: Froststag]
A huge deer with massive horns and an icy body, appeared in front of him.

It looked at Nawfi with a calm, loyal gaze. Nawfi felt a bit intimidated seeing such a huge monster so close.
It seed to be asking Nawfi for a command.
Confused, Nawfi shouted, "Froststag!! Stop it!"
The Froststag lunged forward, antlers gleaming with frozen mana. Shards of ice crystallized in the air as its magic surged, condensing into spears of frost that shot toward the Savage Hyena.
[Froststag used Ice Spear!]
🧊 Ice Spear (氷の槍)
Type: Offensive Magic Skill
Elent: Ice / Frost
Rarity: ★★★☆ (Rare)
Cooldown: 8 seconds
The beast snarled, its claws coated in a sickly crimson aura. Each strike shattered the incoming ice, spraying fragnts across the battlefield.
The two clashed with overwhelming force, magic against instinct. Sparks of frost collided with snarling ferocity, each strike perfectly countered by the other. It was as if their powers were mirrors of one another—equal, unyielding.
"Slis support ogres!"
The slis jumped forward to support the ogres with their acid bullets and other skills. For the mont, it seed manageable—but they were still vastly outnumbered by the hyenas and more hyenas were coming.
He imdiately ran toward the eagle after leaning the girl against a tree.
The eagle was bleeding and nearly dead.
"Eagle...!"
"Pew pew," the eagle made a sound, and surprisingly, it seed happy. Then, the eagle disappeared.
[Monster Card: Eagle has died.]
"I’m really sorry, Eagle... and thank you for protecting ."
[The Sli has died.]
[The Wolf has died.]
"No ti to waste." He took out a stamina drink and gulped it down, then rushed toward the girl.
[All the Slis have died.]

"Sorry, guys... I’ll rember you."

[All summoned monsters’ stats have been doubled for 2 minutes.]
All the summoned monsters went out of control. Froststag launched an overwhelming attack on the Savage hyena, as if it felt no pain. Both ogres tried to defend the hyenas.
The situation seed under control for the mont. He carried the girl piggyback, activated skill cards, and started running.
"Speed Booster!"
[You have used Temporary Skill Card: Speed Booster.]
[Speed increased by 50% for 10 minutes.]
After passing through bushes and trees, he put so distance between himself and the hyenas.
[Summoned Wolf has died.]
Froststag had attacked the savage hyena and overwheld it.
[A Hyena has died.]
"I think... I can get out of here alive."
Froststag kept attacking repeatedly with War Spear and other skills.
Suddenly— clang!
One of the spears grazed its opponent’s leg. The creature barely managed to dodge, but the strike had already done its work. Its movent faltered, slowing down under the weight of the fresh wound.
Sensing the opening, Froststag narrowed his eyes. Mana surged violently around him, crackling with raw intensity.
With a fierce lunge, he drove the war spear forward, releasing the condensed energy in a single, devastating strike.
But just as the attack was about to land, the savage hyena lifted its head to the sky—
Awoooooo!
Its chilling howl echoed through the battlefield, shaking the air itself.
[Savage Hyena has used War Cry!]
War Cry (戦吼)

Rarity: ★★★★★ (Epic)
Description:
A primal roar that shakes the battlefield itself. War Cry not only summons nearby allies to the user’s side but also fills them with uncontrollable fury, greatly boosting their strength. However, the overwhelming surge of rage can break discipline, causing allies to lose control and act on instinct alone.
The Savage Hyena’s aura shifted into a blood-red glow, its body swelling as vague veins bulged across its fra.
Froststag halted, preparing to unleash sothing new—but this ti, the atmosphere felt far more dangerous.
After the Hyena’s howl, the entire area grew unstable, as if sothing ominous was about to occur.
Crip... Crip...
"What’s... now?" Nawfi muttered in confusion, watching wild bird-like beasts flee in flocks, while smaller beasts scattered and ran, completely ignoring him.
"I have a bad feeling about this..." he muttered.
It felt as if all the beasts were fleeing from sothing far more terrifying.
Froststag lunged forward with another attack, but the Savage Hyena blocked it with ease—like it was nothing. Suddenly, more hyenas appeared, their numbers swelling as they launched themselves at Froststag together.
Even though it was an Epic-rank monster, being outnumbered made the battle increasingly difficult.
"What is happening...?" Nawfi shouted as he ran.
The hyenas multiplied further, their numbers surpassing three hundred. Each of them was around level 40 to 50. They relentlessly leapt onto Froststag, wave after wave, with no end in sight.
anwhile, the Savage Hyena’s status surged dramatically, nearing the level of a Legendary-rank beast. At that point, Froststag stood no chance against it.

The Savage Hyena howled again, its crimson eyes locking onto the direction where Nawfi had fled. With terrifying speed, it charged, so of its minions following close behind.
Froststag tried desperately to stop it with all its might, but the overwhelming pack gave it no opening to act. Outnumbered, Froststag could no longer see through the onslaught.
The Savage Hyena broke free with its followers, rushing toward Nawfi. At last, they reached him—eyes burning with bloodthirsty hunger.
"Man! Am I really this unlucky?!"
Nawfi saw them closing in and hurriedly activated his skills.
’’use swift!’’
[You have used skill: Swift.]
He dashed forward, carrying the girl on his back, his steps fast but shaky—his stamina was running low.
Huff... He pulled out a stamina drink and gulped it down while running.
[Ogre has died.]
[All summoned monsters have already perished, except for Froststag.]
Not now. Just a little further.
The cave tree was finally in sight. But then—he saw them. Savage Hyena, leading a pack of snarling beasts, eyes glowing with bloodlust.
He pushed forward, but his foot caught on a tree trunk. He stumbled, falling hard. A jagged piece of the trunk pierced through his leg .
"Gh—!" Blood poured from the wound. He clutched his injured leg, trying to stop the bleeding, while shielding the unconscious girl beside him. Her body was covered with bruises and cuts.
’’Use Healing Potion.’’
[No Healing Potion remaining.]
"Damn it..." He muttered, unstably sat beside her.
With trembling hand, he pulled out his last stamina drink. He bit the cap off and spat it away, downing liquid through his throat.
But the hyenas had already closed in, surrounding them. Their growls echoed like death song.
He clutched the girl tightly, blood dripping from his hand, pain searing through him. Yet he forced himself to stand.
He opened the panel, searching for anything that could save him.
[God’s Wrath ; condition has not t yet.]
"Damn it... nothing?"
He thought about fleeing, but he didn’t even know how. His vision blurred as the Savage Hyena and its pack bared their fangs, ready to tear him apart.
He staggered, trying to run again, but his legs trembled from blood loss.
"I’m... dead now..."
The Savage Hyena lunged. Its jaws clamped down on his hand, tearing it like bread. Pain ripped through his body, a scream caught in his throat.
Then—
Suddenly soone ran towards them through the bushes and jumped. A lightning ray sliced the hyenas. The head of the Savage Hyena was cut off, but it was still attached to his hand.
[Savage Hyena has died.]
He tried to separate the head from his hand. His hand was badly injured and bleeding fast.
The girl stayed unconscious beside him.
He felt safe and relieved and slowly closed his eyes. Before losing consciousness, he saw a skull standing in front of them. It glared angrily at the hyenas, as if it was Nawfi’s guardian.
