Chapter 89: Retreat!

With electric currents enveloping its body, the bloodlust thunder wolf was as fast as the Radiant Highland horses, while Aisha's horned holy radiant highland horse was barely faster than it.

There were only two issues about the bloodlust thunder wolf which made it extremely hard for the Valkyries and Aisha to pierce it with their spears.

The terrific electric currents around it and the bloodlust thunder wolf's flexible body allowed it to roam freely around the Valkyrie group without sustaining any injury while changing its directions within moments to create chaos.

However, it didn't calculate the Valkyries' discipline into its plan, with the will to sacrifice their own life in order to protect their sworn sisters.

The horned holy radiant highland horse approached the bloodlust thunder wolf while predicting its future direction changes in order to reach it, as all hundred Valkyries released their [Lesser Holy] mana in order to create holy-light spears which were shot towards the bloodlust thunder wolf in order to hinder its advance.

Meanwhile, Aisha gathered the remaining mana left within her into her spear causing it to glow up brightly as the sound of a bell rang throughout the battlefield, shaking all soldiers on the ground violently.

The spear enlarged while Aisha pulled her arm back only to swiftly turn the spear in a smooth move, ready to throw it, as the horned holy radiant highland horse began to radiate in white light.

Throwing the enlarged holy-white glowing spear, Shane was shocked.

"Am I watching a high-fantasy movie or what?! Is the CG already so good?" before he realized that he was not on earth anymore.

The spears speed seemed to be infinitely close to breaking through the sound barrier and sensing the perilous threat of death approaching it, the bloodlust thunder wolf hurriedly summoned a ten-meter-long lightning spear with all its remaining mana left.

Not even a millisecond later the holy-white spear pierced into the gigantic lightning spear, only to shatter it without further ado.

The spear's trajectory, however, was barely averted and pierced through the bloodlust thunder wolf's back, tearing out a huge chunk of flesh while it caused a fountain of blood to splurt out of the serious injury it sustains,

Roaring out in pain, the bloodlust thunder wolf that didn't have any mana left wanted to approach the equal mana drained female woman in front of it in order to kill her even if it were to die right now.

Taking a small step forward, it noticed a hundred white armored humans on top of white horses approaching it while lesser holy spears pierced into its purple fur, barely injuring it.

However, a few lesser holy spears pierced into the serious injury, causing more pain to circulate through its whole body, forcing the bloodlust thunder wolf to step back.

Pondering what to do, its gut-feeling and the accumulated intelligence overwhelmed the wild instincts as it turned around to flee without wasting any time, while a loud howl revered through the dark night, where it vanished.

Somehow, to Shane this howl felt like it said "I'll be back" but there was no way, to ensure this fact.

After the bloodlust thunder wolf vanished, he averted his gaze to Aisha who could barely hold herself on her mount, as she ordered.

"Let's pursue the bloodlust thunder wolf!! We can't let it stay alive!!!" As she gave her mount the signal to follow behind the wolf into the darkness, while all 101 of them took out two to three potions, they used to increase the mana replenishing speed, heal shallow cuts if they sustained some, and to activate a night vision effect in order to see something in the darkness.

After emptying the potions, the Valkyries vanished within the darkness with Aisha in the front, while their horses had to drink a special night vision potion in order to see properly within the darkness.

Shane was still shocked to see that every Valkyrie used the same magic with the exact same affinity, which was weird because the holy light affinity was said to be extremely rare.

'Maybe the holy-light affinity is not that rare? But even Aunty Kia said so….Does it have anything to do with Aisha? Her holy light mana was much stronger…. Maybe they have all the same occupation...Have they all unlocked the same requirement? Is that some kind of ritual or what in order to enter the Valkyrie unit??'

He didn't know about certain requirements to enter a special unit at all, but he knew quite a lot of unique units that only allow special occupations or rather youths with a certain affinity to enter their military unit.

There was the [Blazing-Dragon] legion for example that only allowed humans with a fire affinity to apply for their unit.

Shane didn't care about such things because he didn't even want to join the military in the first place, while he found these units dumb, even though their tactics could work in larger cooperation, there was no versatility.

Weirdly enough, with the escape of the last threat the shelter had to face, everything went awkwardly silent, with the collapsed soldiers on the battlefield, while their legs regained some strength which they used to stand up not without shaking slightly.

Hearing something behind him, he saw unit after unit of soldiers approaching the northern gate with a handsome and proud-looking young man in front of them.

'Why are such guys always too late?' Shane sighed thinking about giving the proud young man a hearing when he was reminded that he was barely at the later Mortal stage.

Thinking about this, he suddenly remembered his current financial problem, which was a huge issue after purchasing the beast sealing card with the soul connection ability.

'Maybe I was too rash?' He thought, but after that, he immediately disregarded this thought because traveling around with Umbra was too dangerous with its current strength and it was more of a hindrance.

Gold coins could always be earned but if Umbra were to die, everything would be over, which both of them didn't want.

Because everything was over, Shane's tension immediately eased up while the emergency signal within the shelter was deactivated, which Shane hadn't even noticed before.

Without further ado, he congratulated the rookie soldiers to have overcome their first, yet extremely dangerous beast tide, which was not something everyone could say about themselves.

In the end, it was Shane's first time to lead others and he was somewhat proud of himself before he decided to walk down the stairs attached to the collapsed shelter wall.

Maybe it was wrong for him to leave his unit just like that, but he didn't want to be bothered by others about his origin and so on, because he would either have to lie or ignore them.

Arriving at the alley Shane noticed that he passed by the proud young men, that seemed to be obsessed with praises, he heard from all around him.

Shane however did not care about him a tiny bit, which caused the newly arrived soldiers to look at him with anger, as they wanted their captain to be praised by everyone, in order to suck up even more.

Passing them he subconsciously mumbled

"Don't trip on the slime trails you guys leave behind"
