Chapter 342 The Might of the Supreme Spirit Wolfe
Nox didn't reply right away, making Akira more anxious, her heart pounding fiercely in her chest. Who could the potential enemies be? Of course, the first people that came to her mind were her sisters, the ones she had left behind.
'They must have noticed my absence and sent Cole to look for me,' Akira thought with a bitter look, glancing at Nox and contemplating whether they should run. Even though she could tell Nox was powerful, he was no match for Erin, a general and one of the strongest Valkyries alive.
Finally, her lips parted, and she said in a voice filled with concern: "I think we should leave before these potential enemies show up."
"Calm down," Nox assured her in a firm, confident voice. "Our potential enemies are not your sisters—at least, not yet."
Akira narrowed her eyes and asked in a sharp tone: "Then who is it?"
Nox didn't get to respond, as at that moment, the potential enemies made their appearance—a horde of furious crimson wolves, all emitting a profound murderous aura.
Akira held her chest and let out a heavy sigh of relief when she saw the hundreds of crimson wolves. She would have preferred to face triple this number of monsters rather than her sisters, who were even more savage.
Although she had been trying to act like them, deep down inside, she was still a shy little girl, trying to prove herself worthy of their respect.
The new crimson wolves stopped a hundred meters away from Nox and his group, hesitant to make a move. Their fur tingled, and they could sense that something was off.
The air didn't feel right, and... what was this intense gaze boring down on them? It certainly wasn't the humans. Then who… where was this fierce gaze coming from? All they could see were the humans, who didn't seem to pose much of a threat.
Moving their gaze a bit further, they noticed the presence of Fluffington, Astralux, Thirteen, and Solora. Yet, none of them seemed to be the source of the intense gaze.
There was a stalemate. Neither the humans nor the beasts made a move. Nox briefly glanced at his pet beast's status first:

...
After taking note of all the skills, he shouted in a loud voice: "Go!!!"
As soon as the command was given, the Supreme Spirit Wolf responded with Spirit Howl!
Howl!
The sound was deafening, and a powerful shockwave rippled through the ranks of monsters. The crimson wolves staggered back; some felt their knees tremble, collapsing to the ground.
The crimson wolves' eyes were filled with confusion as they squirmed on the ground, blood leaking from their ears. They hadn't seen any of the humans make a move, and yet… yet they suddenly felt a crushing presence, as if a mountain had descended on them.
This... this howl was capable of crushing the combined force of two wolf packs who had formed a temporary alliance to take out the powerful existence that had attracted them here in the first place.
Although they weren't able to see anything, the crimson wolves could tell the cause of this attack was this powerful existence.
At that moment, the Supreme Spirit Wolf canceled its Spirit Howl. The attack served only to incapacitate its enemies, not to outright kill them.
In the brief moment the skill was canceled, a few high-level crimson wolves managed to stumble to their feet. Following their instincts, which told them the enemy was invisible, they began swiping their claws in the air.
The Supreme Spirit Wolf glanced down at them as if it were a god staring at lowly mortals. Because all the beasts attacking it were only at the King Tier, they posed no threat to the Spectral Wolf.
With eerie grace, the Spectral Wolf dodged their attacks, causing the jaws of the poor wolves to snap at empty air. The Supreme Spirit Wolf then retaliated with another skill:
[Crimson Blaze Claws!]
A blazing, ethereal claw appeared in the air. The claw radiated intense heat as it tore through the crimson wolves, leaving smoke in its wake.
Watching the one-sided massacre, Nox wore an extremely wide smile. He wasn't just smiling because of the powerful companion he now had—he was also smiling because of this:
[Ding! You have received experience points!]
[Ding! You have received experience points!]
[Ding! You have received experience points!]
By the time the Spirit Wolf dealt with the last beast, this message appeared:
[Ding! You have reached Level 29!]
[You have received two free stat points for all attributes!]
"Hahahaha, alright, next stop is Level 30!" Although levels alone weren't important, the benefits they brought certainly were.
"Well done," Nox said as he stroked the rippling fur of the Supreme Spirit Wolf. There were more skills he wanted to test out, but unfortunately, all the beasts were already dead.
'I also told the system to record any useful skill, but all these beasts only had similar skills, and none of them were suitable for the pets. Well, I guess we'll have to go to another location.'
Moments after Nox left with his pets, Erin and her squad arrived.
"Dang! We were too late," one of the Valkyries complained as they witnessed the gruesome battlefield, with the blood of the crimson wolves splattered everywhere.
"These attacks weren't made by the princess or a human," Erin said as she kicked one of the beasts, revealing claw marks on its body. "But I can feel it—they were here before."
At that moment, Erin pointed at the footprints as she said with a fierce glint in her eyes: "If it's what I'm thinking, I believe the princess is leading him to that place."
