Axel, Eve, and Teruria stood atop the wall, gazing into the distance, while Fenrir hovered a few steps behind them, watching over the trio like a guardian.
None of them appeared frightened, even though the giant flying creatures—wyverns—were hurtling toward them at breakneck speed.
"Hmm?"
But while looking, Axel noticed something weird.
The wyverns' trajectory suggested they weren't aiming to stop at the wall where Axel and the others stood. Instead, they seemed to be headed straight for the castle in the center!
That felt like barging into someone's house without permission!
Fenrir, of course, noticed this too.
To assert control, she fixed her gaze on the approaching creatures and unleashed a focused wave of her killing intent. As sentient beings, tamed or not, the wyverns could sense the vast gap in power between themselves and the lady wolf below, causing them to rapidly descend, disregarding their riders' commands.
