Pfft*
June coughed up a mouthful of blood as she struggled to rise from the ground. i Lin was in a similar state, blood flowing from the corners of her lips. On the other hand, Nedin was unscathed, having sustained no injuries.
"Cover from the rear," Nedin instructed, assessing June and i Lin's condition. She took the lead, determinedly spinning her sword and charging at the monster with terrifying speed.
"Nedin was holding back," June remarked, watching Nedin's swift movents. In a blink, Nedin clashed with the Wolf King, its blood-red aura pulsing. She unleashed a flurry of attacks, each striking the Wolf King relentlessly.
"Go support her, June. I need a few seconds to activate a skill," i Lin urged. June dashed forward, her movents unpredictable, each step infused with countless variations.

Karsha, observing from above, recognized her technique—a movent skill that complented her affinity with the wind. Just as Karsha's NineFold Stormstride complented his lightning elent, June's technique enhanced her mastery over the wind.
After a series of agile maneuvers, June swung her sword. Circular disks of wind shot forth from each step she had taken, striking the Wolf King who was engaged in a fierce combat with Nedin.
Caught off guard, the wind disks struck the Wolf King squarely, disrupting its focus.
The Wolf King roared in pain as June's wind disks hit their mark, causing it to stagger back. Nedin seized the opportunity, pressing her assault with renewed vigor.
Sword flashing, she aid precise strikes at the creature's vulnerable spots, exploiting every opening June's attack created.
i Lin, positioned behind them, began to move with fluid grace, muttering cryptic words under her breath. Her spear danced through the air in intricate patterns, tracing arcs and symbols. After a few monts, the sky above them began to shift subtly.
"Heavenly Elental Support," Linnea, who had been sowhat lost in the intensity of the battle, exclaid.
"What is that?" Karsha asked, intrigued by Linnea's sudden remark.
"She's invoking heavenly support. If I'm right, This sister has a perfect affinity with the Lightning Elent and is now forging her path in extre elental control.
"What she's doing now is the first step in connecting with the source of the Lightning Elent. If she succeeds, she'll gain a brief mont to unleash a devastating attack," Linnea explained, a smile spreading across her face.
"Who knew you were such an erudite," Karsha teased, eliciting a slightly embarrassed but amused smile from Linnea. "No need to be shy—knowledge is power."
BOOM!
Before Linnea could reply, a deafening explosion rocked the battlefield. June staggered back, but Nedin caught her just in ti.
She was pushed back from a blood arc that ca from the wolf's mouth. The Wolf King lunged forward, but before it could close the distance, a thunderous roar echoed through the air.
"Lightning Star Piercing Strike!" i Lin's entire body ignited with lightning, her spear crackling with energy. Leaping into the air, she brought her spear down in a powerful vertical strike.
A dazzling beam of lightning shot forth, slamming into the monster's side and sending it hurtling several ters away.
The battlefield crackled with energy as i Lin's Lightning Star Piercing Strike struck the Wolf King, staggering it montarily. Nedin, seizing the opening, unleashed her own attack.
"Frostbite Fury!" Nedin shouted, her sword glowing with icy blue energy.
She swept her blade in a wide arc, sending shards of ice flying toward the Wolf King. The icy projectiles pierced its tough hide, causing frost to spread across its body.
anwhile, June, recovering swiftly from the shock of the explosion, focused her energy.
"Galestorm Slash!" June cried out, her sword slicing through the air with swift precision. A whirlwind of razor-sharp wind blades ford around her, slicing toward the Wolf King from multiple directions.
The Wolf King roared in defiance. It retaliated with a savage swipe of its claws, aiming to regain control of the battle. i Lin, exhausted from her earlier lightning attack, found herself montarily vulnerable.
"No" June cried out, seeing i Lin caught off guard.
Just as the Wolf King lunged at i Lin, its claws poised to strike, a sudden dark green thread wrapped around i Lin and yanked her away from danger.
It was Li Fei, who had finished off the three Wolf Gnerals ca just in ti to save i Lin from being cut in half.
Behind them, Xian had just finished dealing with two Wolf Generals and was now assisting Li Jing with the remaining three. Li Jing had already killed two, but as the battle wore on, her crimson-red flaming monsters began to lose their vibrant color.
However, with Xian's beast companions joining the fray, the tide of the battle began to shift. They quickly dispatched another general, and the remaining two fell shortly after. Without wasting a mont, they dashed forward, targeting the Wolf King.
"Let's subdue it!" Xian shouted, rallying his companions.
Although the berserk aura around the Wolf King remained intense, the combined strength of the six warriors was formidable. i Lin, rejuvenated by Li Fei's healing, lunged at the Wolf King alongside Nedin.
The Wolf King found itself surrounded, its movents increasingly suppressed. Nedin and i Lin moved like synchronized dancers, each anticipating the other's actions with uncanny precision. Their relentless assault kept the Wolf King on the defensive.
"Blizzard Slash" Nedin yelled, her sword carving through the air, unleashing a freezing wave that slowed the Wolf King's movents.
"Lightning Spear Barrage!" i Lin followed up, her spear crackling with electricity as she delivered a rapid series of thrusts, each one charged with lightning.
The Wolf King roared in fury, attempting to lash out, but Xian and his beast companions quickly intervened. Xian's beast companions, a trio of ferocious creatures, attacked with feral intensity, each strike coordinated to exploit the Wolf King's weakening defenses.
"Wood Shadow Binding Chains!" Li Fei chanted, dark green threads shooting from the ground and wrapping around the Wolf King's limbs, restricting its movents further
"Now is our chance to end this," Li Jing declared, swinging her staff in a graceful arc. A fla prison materialized around the Wolf King, constricting it.
Everything seed to be going according to plan—the flas tightened, and the Wolf King appeared to be at their rcy. But just as they were about to subdue it, a powerful howl shattered the tense silence, reverberating across the battlefield and beyond.
Linnea imdiately looked forward, and for a mont, she nearly cried out. Standing exactly where the Wolf King had been was another wolf, towering at an imposing 20 ters.
Unlike the Wolf King's golden-white fur, this new wolf's coat was pure, radiant gold, shimring with an otherworldly light.
"A Wolf Queen," Xian cried out, his voice filled with urgency as he looked at the red-eyed wolf staring them down.
"We should run now!" he shouted, and for a brief mont, they all felt a wave of despair. Staring into the eyes of the Wolf Queen, they knew they wouldn't stand a chance if it attacked.
And to bring their nightmare to reality, the Wolf Queen lunged forward, dashing at them with blinding speed.
"Run," Li Jing ordered, preparing to release the Wolf King from the fla prison when a calm voice reverberated across the battlefield.
"Why run? It's just a Wolf Queen." The voice was unmistakable. Before they could even turn around, Karsha appeared beside Nedin, who was closest to the Wolf King.
"Nice job, ladies. Why don't I take it from here?" Karsha said, watching the Wolf Queen speed toward them. June, Li Fei, Li Jing, i Lin, Xian, and even Nedin looked at him with scared eyes.
They were frightened because, despite the monster closing in, Karsha never drew his weapon. On the contrary, he stood with his hands clasped behind his back.
The tension in the air was palpable. The Wolf Queen closed the distance with terrifying speed. Yet Karsha remained still, his expression calm, almost serene.
As the Wolf Queen entered a 100-ter radius, Karsha spoke a single word. "Despair."
Instantly, the environnt transford.
A dark, oppressive aura erupted from Karsha, filling the entire space with an overwhelming sense of dread. The sky darkened, and an ominous, terrifying eye appeared in the heavens, its gaze fixed on the Wolf Queen.
The eye was enormous, glowing with a sinister light, and exuding a power that seed to bend reality itself.
The effect on the Wolf Queen was imdiate and devastating. Its movent froze as if an invisible force had gripped its very essence. The once-mighty beast began to shudder violently.
Its limbs turned wobbly, struggling to bear its own weight. The golden fur that had shimred with such brilliance now seed to dull under the malevolent gaze of the eye.
"Hello there. I am Karsha and I know you understand what am saying so listen carefully" Just when the Wolf Queen was about to lose it and probably turned unconscious, Karsha spoke.
"This brother of mine is a Beast Tar, a very good one. As you can see here, he ca to subdue the Wolf King, but since you are here, let's talk about you two. You two are powerful and loyal from what I can see, so it will be a pity to kill you both.
"That's why I have a proposal, 100 years, you two will form a contract with my brother for a hundred years and after that, he will let you go. All you have to do is listen to his commands and fight with him when needed.
I promise he will treat you two well. You can also get to leave this place and explore the rest of the world with him. So what do you think" Karsha asked with a gentle smile.
Both the Wolf King and Queen look at him with indifferent gaze, but Karsha knows they are communicating. He is a universal Enigma, so every language is known by him.
That was why after 5 minutes of not saying a single word, he smiled and turned to Xian, "Draw two contracts, Blaq and Inna will be joining your cohort"
