The wolves moved quickly, their enhanced forms flowing into an assault formation.
Two flanked left, two right, while the remaining pair held center.
Cyrus met the first wolf head-on, catching razor claws inches from his throat.
The impact ruptured his arms. This creature's strength rivaled his own draconic power, synthetic enhancements pushing wolf biology far beyond natural limits.
Blue veins pulsed brighter as the wolf pressed forward, his modified muscles straining against Cyrus's grip.
"Impossible," Cyrus snarled.
Ginsei's serpent mist lashed out, coiling around another wolf's throat like a living noose.
The wolf should have collapsed, hypnotic vapors overwhelming his nervous system.
Instead, electric blue energy crackled along the enhanced veins, disrupting Ginsei's control.
The wolf's eyes flickered between natural amber and artificial blue as he fought through the mental assault.
"My hypnosis isn't working!"
