Chapter 55: Stunned Everyone
As if sensing their leader’s uncertainty, the pack instinctively closed ranks around Reana, forming a protective circle with her safely at the center.
"Awoool!!!" The wolves erupted into a collective, defiant howl, their voices echoing through the night air as they prepared to defend themselves against the monstrous threat looming above.
As if it had derived sufficient pleasure from toying with its prey, the creature abruptly ceased its stunt flying and descended, swooping down with alarming speed, its wings beating the air with a deafening whoosh.
And without warning, the creature descended upon a black wolf, its razor-sharp claws extended like gleaming scimitar swords. The wolf, caught off guard, let out a pained yelp as the creature’s talons sank deep into its flank, intending to ascend with the wolf.
Reana’s eyes widened in horror as she watched, frozen in shock and dread, her mind screaming for her to react, to defend her pack member, who was being lifted off the ground.
And that, she did.
With a fierce howl, Reana’s wolf launched herself at the creature. She leaped into the air, her claws slashing through the air with deadly precision as it managed to rake across the creature’s scaled arm, leaving long and deep gashes that oozed a noxious, black ichor.
The creature let out a deafening screech, its grip on the black wolf snapped as it recoiled in pain, flying away from the group.
The injured wolf fell with a loud bang, unable to move as it shivered on the ground, blood seeping from its wound.
