Kael attacked first.
WHOOSH.
He surged forward—the special grade gauntlet materializing on his right fist—hummm—aura amplifying his speed. The first storm wolf, Mana Heart Rank 5, lunged at him with jaws wide. Kael met it mid-air.
BOOM.
His gauntlet-covered fist connected with the wolf's skull. The Impact Nullification absorbed the recoil. The Aura Amplification tripled the force. The wolf's head exploded—shatter—bone, brain, and lightning fur spraying across the canyon floor.
Thud.
The rest of the pack howled—AWOOO!—and their howls summoned lightning. CRACK-CRACK-CRACK! Bolts descended from the storm clouds above, striking the canyon walls and floor. The pack charged.
Twelve became twenty-four. More wolves poured from side passages—Rank 5 to Rank 7. Their bodies crackled with electrical energy.
