Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

"rustle……"

The footsteps of the group mingled with the rustling of leaves in the gentle breeze.

Leo moved forward cautiously, keeping his senses alert and wary of any potential attack.

suddenly.

"Help! Monster! Help me—"

The voice was shrill and filled with extreme fear, sounding particularly jarring in the silent forest.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening wolf howl tore through the air, filled with brutality and ferocity.

It came from the right front direction!

Leo instantly pinpointed the source of the sound.

"It's ferocious wolves! They're attacking people on the road!" Guts shouted, his grip on the giant axe tightening instantly.

"Let's go!" Sekoda's voice came from the shadows, cold and sharp. "Let's go check it out!"

The group quickly ran in the direction from which the sound came.

As they passed through a thicket of bushes, the sight before him caused Leo's pupils to shrink slightly.

A horse-drawn carriage loaded with goods overturned on the ground, its shafts broken, the horses that had been pulling it were nowhere to be found, and many goods were scattered on the ground.

Beside the carriage, several ragged merchants and guards were fleeing in terror.

A giant wolf, as large as an ox and with hair standing on end like steel needles, was using its claws to step on the chest of a guard who was covered in blood and barely breathing.

On the verge of death, the guard brandished his sword, attempting to force back the ferocious wolf.

But when his sword struck the wolf's fur, it produced a crisp sound like metal clashing.

The guard's eyes showed despair.

"call out!"

At that moment, a sharp sound came from mid-air.

A fist-sized, distorted mass of air hurtled in from not far away.

However, before it could hit, the ferocious wolf, realizing what was happening, swung its tail and blasted the distorted air mass apart in mid-air.

Its blood-red beastly eyes landed on the girl not far away, who was holding a wooden staff, trembling slightly with fear, but still not taking a step back.

"Bang!"

The ferocious wolf exerted force with its limbs, crushing the guard beneath its feet before lunging towards the girl.

In the blink of an eye, it was in front of the girl, its gaping maw snapping down to bite her head.

The girl, pale-faced and shrouded in shadow and a stench, muttered something under her breath as she raised her wooden staff, attempting to perform a magic trick.

Unfortunately, she was just an apprentice and had no ability to cast spells in such a fierce environment.

Out of fear, she failed to cast the spell, and the backlash caused blood to flow from the corner of her mouth.

As the gaping maw drew ever closer, despair filled her eyes.

"call!"

Just at this critical moment, a dark shadow suddenly crashed into us from the side.

It's Guts!

This future great warrior, at this moment, was like a humanoid chariot, his armored shoulders crashing heavily into the ferocious wolf.

"Bang!"

The immense impact caused the ferocious wolf to howl in pain, its massive body flying sideways before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Run!" Gus staggered and roared. Once he regained his balance, he raised his double-edged axe high and swung it down at the ferocious wolf with all his might.

The shockwave from the impact knocked the girl to the ground, and the fear of narrowly escaping death left her stunned and rooted to the spot.

"Walk."

A few seconds later, Leo and the other two arrived.

A professional warrior unleashing his full power is faster than any of the three of them.

Leo paused, his gaze sweeping over the girl's face.

This face... although it looks a bit young, it's practically a carbon copy of Miss Sanhua and Miss Yotsuba.

Could she be the younger sister that Miss Yotsuba mentioned last night, Itsuki?

In this emergency, Leo didn't have time to ask any more questions. He grabbed the girl who had collapsed to the ground, carried her away from the core of the battle, and then turned and headed towards Guts and the ferocious wolf.

At this moment, Guts was clearly at a disadvantage in his one-on-one fight against the ferocious wolf.

As a level 1 [Warrior], he found it difficult to fight against a ferocious wolf with a challenge level of 1 on his own.

Fortunately, there were other people.

The orc Goldo charged forward silently, his greatsword wielded as the ferocious wolf's attention was drawn to Guts. He charged up and slashed at the monster's waist and abdomen.

The waist is a relatively weak area in the defense of wolf-like monsters.

At the same time, an arrow pierced the sky and struck the ferocious wolf in the face.

It was Damian, a dwarf wielding a specially made short bow.

The dwarf's congenital disadvantages make it difficult for him to use a normal longbow due to his insufficient arm span. However, there are advantages and disadvantages. When he uses a special shortbow, his arrows are more stable and his hit rate is relatively higher.

—Professional Skill: Precision Shooting!

Faced with attacks from multiple sides, the ferocious wolf demonstrated its power as a challenge-level monster.

It opened its blood-red maw and let out a terrifying roar.

Visible sound waves radiate outwards from its body.

Gus, who was the first to be hit, stiffened.

Aldor, the orc, whose physical attributes were far inferior to Guts', fainted as soon as his eyelids rolled back.

The arrow in mid-air, affected by the sound waves, deviated from its direction, grazing the ferocious wolf's face and leaving a trail of tiny sparks.

—Talent Skill: [Roar of Blood and Wind]!

It emits a terrifying howl with ethereal fluctuations, causing a "shock" effect on nearby enemies.

The ferocious wolf's vicious eyes fell upon the orc Goldor.

It could sense that of the two who were attacking it, Gerdo was significantly weaker.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is a biological instinct, and monsters are no exception.

The air hissed as the wolf's claws slammed towards Gerdo's face.

It is foreseeable that once the evidence is confirmed, Gerdo will at least be seriously injured.

If a wolf's claws slash one's neck, death is not out of the question.

Gus quickly recovered from the "shock" state, his pupils contracted sharply, and he wanted to provide support, but in the rush, it was too late.

At that moment, a figure stepped between Gerdo and Wolfclaw.

It's Leo.

Having arrived at the battlefield a little later, he was at a greater distance and was least affected by the [Roar of Blood and Wind]. Although his ears were ringing, his mobility was not significantly affected.

[Slide Step] + [Slash]!

The iron sword that Leo held high clashed with the wolf's claws.

With a clang.

Leo's hands trembled, and he almost lost his grip on the iron sword. His body also uncontrollably staggered back several steps.

The ferocious wolf raised its paws upwards.

Before it could launch its next attack in its rage.

Guts rushed over, his massive axe slashing upwards and slicing open the ferocious wolf's shoulder.

"Pfft!"

Blood gushed out, and the ferocious wolf let out a painful howl.

At that moment, a ghostly figure appeared behind the ferocious wolf, a dagger flashing in its hand as it thrust straight at the wolf's neck.

In the moment of crisis, the ferocious wolf twisted its body, causing the dagger to fail to pierce the heart, only shattering some bones and internal organs.

The severely wounded ferocious wolf unleashed an astonishing leaping ability, managing to create a distance of over twenty meters with just a few sideways bounds.

As it jumped, it also let out a sharp roar.

The next moment, an even more ferocious wolf howl came from deep within the forest!

"Awooo—!"

This roar was even more ferocious than the previous ones.

A huge black shadow burst out of the woods!

This ferocious wolf was larger, with even blacker fur, and its eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty red light.

It was clearly summoned by the shouts of its companions.

Beside it were seven or eight small dark figures.

Leo's pupils suddenly contracted.

The intelligence is wrong!

There were two ferocious wolves!

Moreover, there are a large number of wolf cubs!
