Chapter 48:Direwolf Attack[II]
They charged at the Direwolves, swords raised, but Oren soon realized that only he had fully awakened powers among them. The other guards were still beginners, their skills unrefined against the monstrous foes.
The main combat troops weren’t nearby so he had to hold on.
The first Direwolf lunged at a guard, its jaws snapping shut inches from his face. Oren dispatched the beast with a swift slash of his sword, the blade glinting in the morning light as it cut through fur and flesh. But even as he fought valiantly, he knew it wouldn’t be enough.
Another ran straight at him from the other side, noticing that Oren raised his shield.
BANG!
With a sickening impact, Oren was pushed back as Direwolf slammed against the shield but Oren instead of pushing against the ground, turned around using the counterforce and kicked Direwolf.
He didn’t want his sword to be struck inside Direwolf’s body which gave opportunity for others to surround.Secondly his strength is not sufficient to kill one go which so he decided to scare them with a strong stance.
However...
"Watch out!" Karra shouted, her voice filled with fear and urgency as one of the wolves broke away from the pack, sprinting toward the village. "One’s getting through!"
Nil and Hilda stood frozen, dread gripping their hearts as they watched the chaos unfold. Just as Hilda gripped her sword, trembling but resolute, a heavy stone hurtled through the air and smashed into the side of one Direwolf, drawing its attention.
"Run! Get to safety!" shouted the chief artisan, his voice booming as he emerged from the fray, wielding a makeshift weapon of old, wooden stick. He locked eyes with Nil and Hilda, his expression one of fierce determination. "You must run!"
