BXBX NOVEL Chapter 89: Teamwork (3)
But once the wolves had been stopped, keeping the flame wall up would hurt them instead of helping them.
After he released his flame wall, he gathered all of those flames into a set of armour around himself.
This time, he even formed a sword and shield of flames as he prepared to face the wolves.
The wolves recognized that they were in a bad situation and even looked to escape, but they knew that trying to escape would just result in some of them being picked off. With how the humans were keeping track of them, it was certain that they wouldn\'t allow them to escape without any harm.
So if they tried to escape, it was certain that they would lose a few members.
At the same time, they couldn\'t guarantee which members would die.
So the alpha wouldn\'t give an order that would put his own life at risk.
With a howl from the alpha, the wolves suddenly spread out.
They made full use of this corridor and spread out so that they couldn\'t be hit with a large-scale attack.
But when I saw them spreading out like this, I couldn\'t help revealing a smile.
This was what I had wanted to see in the first place.
So I said, "Formation A."
When they heard this, the kids couldn\'t help revealing bitter smiles, but they still started moving.
It was just that they were moving in the opposite direction of the enemies.
Instead of facing the wolves head on, we turned and ran away from them.
The wolves couldn\'t understand what was happening at first, but then they reacted to us running away. But even if they did react, it wasn\'t as if they knew what they were supposed to do.
Do they chase after the enemies or just run away now that the enemies are leaving?
This was their first time facing someone like this, so the alpha really didn\'t know what to do.
But in the end, the alpha gave the order to chase them down.
The alpha didn\'t know what these people were doing, but he couldn\'t risk falling into a trap like before.
If they let them go now, it\'s very possible that there would be a trap waiting for them in the future.
In that case, it was better to cut off that possibility now by taking out these humans.
These humans were running away, they were leaving their backs open to them.
The alpha wouldn\'t let this chance go.
As soon as the order was given, these wolves suddenly had a layer of green light appear around them before they started moving faster than before.
As their name suggested, they used wind magic to buff themselves and increase their speed, which was what they were doing right now.
With this buff on them, they were naturally faster than us who didn\'t have the buff.
It took no time at all for these wolves to catch up to them.
But before the wolves could do anything, I suddenly said, "Now!"
Then all of us suddenly turned around.
This time, it was a combination move between just Hayato and Blaze.
As we had been running, Hayato had been gathering his wind magic inside of his hand. As soon as I gave the order, he immediately turned around and released a large ball of wind.
This large ball of wind on its own wouldn\'t do much since Hayato had focused on increasing the size and speed of this ball of wind. On its own, it wouldn\'t be able to do much damage to the wolves.
That is…on its own.
Blaze released a flame from his palm that he threw out into the ball of wind as it passed by him.
Once this flame entered the ball of wind, the entire ball of wind suddenly became a large ball of fire.
This large ball of fire was so big that it blocked the entire corridor.
The wolves had still been in the middle of chasing them when the giant ball of flames suddenly appeared. They weren\'t able to stop themselves in time to be able to dodge it, so the only choice that they had was to face it head on.
But how were they supposed to face this head on?
This was a giant ball of flames that completely cut off all of their paths to escape.
The only thing that they could do was…
The alpha gave a howl and all of them gathered together.
Since they were known as Gale Wolves, their specialty was naturally wind magic.
Once they gathered together, they combined all of their wind magic to create a shield in front of them.
A normal wind shield would just be swallowed by the ball of flames, so this wind shield was one that was made of wind blades.
They would cut anything that came in contact with it, including a giant ball of flame.
Unfortunately for them, there was a difference in power between the two sides.
Blaze and Hayato were both D Rankers while these Gale Wolves were just E Rank Monsters.
In terms of power, Blaze and Hayato had the advantage.
So when the ball of flames made contact with the wind shield, there was only a second where the wind shield was able to cut the ball of flames for a bit before being swallowed by it.
With the wind shield being swallowed, the wolves had no choice but to face the ball of flames head on.
They were completely engulfed in this ball of flames.
The flames continued to burn for a while before finally dying down.
When the flames disappeared, only the charred corpses of the wolves were left.
