Under the flashing lightning, the beautiful girl continued to cut her own flesh. In a short while, her arms and legs were covered with deep, bone-exposing wounds. The massive blood loss made her unable to hold on any longer, collapsing in front of the blue wolf. If she didn't receive treatment soon, she would likely bleed to death.
"Can you... let this child go...?"
Pale and trembling fingers held up the last piece of flesh from Mengdie's leg. By now, there was almost no intact skin left on her body. The mottled wounds appeared even more horrific under the lightning.
The blue wolf unhesitatingly swallowed the flesh from the girl's hand. Finally, it lifted its paw from the infant. However, the way it guarded the baby under its body showed that the blue wolf was not yet ready to give up this easy prey.
"Is that... so? You're still not full..."
A smile full of compassion and generosity appeared on the girl's face. Barely sitting up in front of the blue wolf, she extended her arms towards it without any hesitation.
"Come on... it must be painful to be hungry, right? My body... you can have it, as long as it can save you from the pain... of hunger..."
"Mengdie!!!"
"Sister Mengdie!!!"
Mengdie's words were soft, but her actions had already made Edward and Nia behind her guess what she was about to do. They quickly rushed up, trying to stop her from this folly.
But they were too late. As they stepped forward, the blue wolf also noticed Edward and Nia's rescue attempt. In an instant, the blue wolf howled and decisively pounced on the weakened Mengdie in front of it.
Bleeding profusely and weak, Mengdie couldn't resist. The blue wolf's paw pressed on her chest, easily pushing her down. Then, its saliva-drenched white teeth opened wide and bit into Mengdie's right arm, followed by a harsh tear.

"Crack!!!"
The sky was stained blood-red. Mengdie's right arm was forcibly torn off by the savage wolf, held in its mouth.
The distant onlookers were stunned by the scene, the weak girl now at the mercy of the wolf, no longer able to resist. Edward and Nia, who had rushed forward, were also shocked into stillness. Their mouths agape, they stared blankly at the red-eyed blue wolf and the girl with the severed arm...
The rain continued to wash away. Some crimson liquid slowly flowed to the feet of Edward and Nia...
Mengdie's pupils began to dilate, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. But in her eyes looking at the blue wolf, there was no blame or resentment. She extended her only remaining left arm, her blood-soaked palm gently caressing the wolf's face...
"Is it... enough now? If... it's not enough... I still have one left hand... two legs... and this body... If it's not enough... you can eat as much as you need... to fill... your... stomach..."
Finally, the light in Mengdie's eyes completely faded. The hand caressing the blue wolf fell helplessly, splashing water in the muddy ground...
"Sister Mengdie——!!!"
Nia couldn't hold back anymore, tears streaming down her face. She rushed towards the wolves like a madwoman, even forgetting to cast her wind magic on herself.
Led by Nia, Edward's anger and anxiety also surged in an instant! He roared and, sword in hand, charged towards the wolves! His eyes revealed a hint of madness. His left hand formed a cyan light sphere that he slapped onto his obsidian sword, creating an even brighter cyan spiritual sword than before!
Seeing Edward charging furiously, the blue wolf leader remained eerily calm. Holding Mengdie's right arm in its mouth, it gave a few low calls, and the wolf pack retreated into the forest like well-trained soldiers. The blue wolf, after glancing at the unconscious fox-eared girl under its paw, released her and ran towards the forest.
"Beasts! You beasts!!! Don't run! I'm going to kill you all——!!!"
Edward rushed past Mengdie, continuing to chase the wolves with his sword. If it weren't for Xiu shooting a magical arrow from a distance, forcing him to stop, the prince might have charged into the forest, plunging himself into a disadvantageous situation.
"Damn it! Mengdie, Mengdie!!! How are you?! Xiu, hurry up and save her!!!"
"Sister Mengdie! So much... so much blood! She's lost so much blood!"
"Hey, hey! Don't shake me! I'm not a divine magic user, I know very little healing magic!"
"Step aside, I'll do it!"
As the three argued, Father Cotton had already rushed over determinedly. When he saw Mengdie's arm brutally torn off, even he was shocked. But quickly, the priest recovered, rapidly casting a healing incantation, doing his best to treat Mengdie's wounds.
The wolves kept disappearing into the forest, hiding in the darkness. However, the blue wolf paused before entering the forest, turning back to look towards the village. Its red eyes, once filled with bloodlust, were now replaced with confusion. What it likely didn't expect was that the human arm in its mouth was undergoing an earth-shattering transformation—
The shape of a human limb gradually disappeared, the fingers retracting. In a moment, the arm turned into a cylindrical piece of flesh. From the torn end, what was once bone had now become translucent and white, without a trace of blood. It looked less like a human bone and more like... a piece of white jade!
The blue wolf didn't notice these changes. After a brief glance back, it retracted its blood-red pupils and darted into the forest, enjoying its spoils of war...
