On the other side, Five vicious wolves approached the five warriors, they pounced on the warriors with speed similar to an arrow while cutting the air. The warriors raised their swords which glowed with their Aura.

The wolves closed the distance In a blink of an eye slashing their claws at the warriors with great force.

The warriors parried the strikes with their swords and dodged backward. Although the warriors could use their sword arts to finish off the wolves quicker but they were taught to be efficient while dealing with the enemy and save as much energy as possible to deal with any unseen circumstance.

The wolves could not break the extremely durable swords and were pushed backward by the warrior's Aura which invaded the wolf's body through the sword.

before they could stabilize, the ground beneath their feet became a quagmire as a mage behind the warriors smirked cruelly. The wolf's feet began sinking in. Not wasting this opportunity, five of the warriors slashed their swords at the wolves from a distance. Miraculously, The Aura manifested in a flying blade that flew just as fast as the wolves were running previously and swiftly slaughtered all of them without any resistance.

Ron and Karna both were watching the ongoing battles. Ron was a powerful warrior and he could easily kill all of the wolves by himself without any bother. But he would not interfere with such a minor threat and flaunt his strength like an idiot.

As time passed, the painful cries of the wolves began decreasing, and the pungent smell of blood spread into the surroundings.

The warriors fought the wolves at a close range and the mages created obstructions with minor spells creating opportunities for the warriors to successfully strike the wolves.

The sound of metal echoed throughout the battlefield as the wolves claws met with the warrior's swords, several sharp spikes could be seen here and there with the sign of struggle all over the place. while the warriors were outnumbered, they were trained in handling multiple enemies at once. otherwise, Ron would not have chosen them as bodyguards.

Oliver was casting spells to obstruct the wolf's speed and movements non-stop so that the warriors could deal with as few wolves as possible.

Oliver casually created earth walls, constructing the wolf's movements. As if that wasn't enough, he also created deep pits all over the place. With tactics like these, he bought some time for the warriors to finish off their opponents and turn to the next.

During this skirmish, the warriors did not even use their sword arts and the mages did not use their offensive spells, saving as much energy as possible.

It had already been 30 minutes since the battle began and 20 of the wolves were already massacred. Seeing this, the remaining wolves became terrified and tried to back off.

But how could Ron just let them go just like that? He yelled,

"Don't let them escape, they will cause trouble for others. Although we can handle them easily, not everyone is strong enough to deal with such a large pack of wolves! Kill them all!"

The warriors began closing in the distance while surrounding the wolves. Karna had been watching the entire battle from outside of the carriage. The battlefield was filled with bloody spots, wolf corpses were piled lifelessly, decapitated limbs could be seen everywhere and the blood flowed like a river from the corpses.

Karna finally couldn't hold it any longer as he puked his guts out. Seeing this, Lara came out of the carriage and patted Karna's back with worry,

"What's wrong? are you not feeling well?" Lara said with a worried expression on her face as she gently patted Karna's back.

Lara did not think that Karna was not used to such gore. 'Rudra' literally used to go hunting for Magical Beasts so she thought that Karna was not feeling well.

Karna was currently busy puking and getting to terms with the cruel reality of this world. He had lived in hardship as an orphan but he had never seen such a gruesome scene in his life.

Although he had anticipated some difficulty to come his way eventually but he was still somewhat complacent. He realized that he had been living in a luxury way too much. He had forgotten that he can't use a sword and it will take some time for him to know enough magic to protect himself at least. He does not have the same mentality as this world's folk and that's why he must put in even more effort.

Suddenly, Karna heard the sound of air piercing as he felt the danger to his life. Although Karna did not have such ability but he was still in a body of a warrior who had combat experience.

When he looked around him, he saw a Wind Blade coming towards him with incredible speed. before he could think of anything, Lara bravely stood in front of him intending to take the strike in his place. Her body seems to be trembling from fear. But when she saw Karna's life in danger she stood in front of him as if that was the most natural thing to do.

At the moment it was as if time had stopped for him. Many thoughts came into Karna's mind.

'Is she going to die to save me?' Karna lamented hopelessly.

'Am I really worthy of such loyalty? I should have worked harder! DAMNIT!'

Just as the wind blade was about to hit Lara, Karna felt his eyes burn with pain. He was in a state of 'thought acceleration' so even though several seconds had passed in his view, outside it was just some milliseconds.

[ "Creating the spell circuit - Action affirmative" ]

Karna heard this mechanical voice in his head. He was smart enough to understand that this must be related to his 'Special Attribute'.

Almost instinctively, he began releasing his Mana in the surroundings to cast a spell.

[ "Success! Detected Assistance required for casting the spell" ]

[ "Guiding the Mana to move freely outside the body..... Success!" ]

As this voice rang in his head, Karna felt his Mana draw out of his body at an alarming rate. His Spiritual force was also reduced by a large margin.

Although the mysterious ability had helped him create the spell circuit in his mind and manipulate the Mana, he still had to implement the actual process by himself. Taking advantage of the 'Thought Acceleration' he quickly made a connection with nature using his Mana Core as a catalyst, he then used the already established spell circuit and commanded the spell to be cast.

The 'Thought Acceleration' ended as Karna felt his surroundings in normal perception. He also saw the 'Wind blade' coming toward Lara and her trembling body. He felt a sweet feeling rise deep in his heart. But this was not the time to ponder such matters.

Ignoring his exhausted body, Karna finally managed to cast the Apprentice-level Fire Attribute spell - Fireball.

All this happened in a matter of a few seconds. From realizing the Wind Blade coming toward Lara to conjuring the Spell; only a few seconds had passed. From other's viewpoints, it seemed that Karna was a bit dazed then clarity and resolve gradually appeared in his eyes.

The fireball flew toward the approaching Wind Blade. The Small, weak Fireball only managed to delay the powerful Wind Blade which was conjured by a mutated Magical Beast Which had revealed itself a few hundred meters of distance away.

Ron had already noticed the oddity a long time ago and managed to reach Karna in the nick of time because of the Zarx Family's 'Shiva's dance of fury' Movement Technique.

This mishap had occurred because the Mutated Wolf had an excellent concealment technique with the 'Wind Blade' Magic Skill.

And because everyone was busy with the wolves, no one had noticed the danger. Fortunately, Karna managed to delay the Wind Blade for two seconds and Ron easily blocked the attack.

Karna fell unconscious after casting the spell forcefully using his mysterious skill. His Spiritual force had weakened seemingly getting used in order to use the mysterious skill. But before closing his eyes, he saw Lara safe and sound and Ron fuming with Rage going after the Mutated Wolf.

All the warriors had dealt with the wolves by now and quickly gathered around Karna's carriage on full alert looking out for another sneak attack.
