“Chapter 158: The Other Beast 2”

– Just like Mike…

I couldn’t believe my eyes.

They’re not similar up to every single detail, but it’s obvious from a glance that they’re both divine wolves.

– What do you scoundrels think you’re doing here? I did not receive any notice about visitors, which means you’re intruding.

– Sorry, we just wanted to see Moonflower at least once. We don’t intend to steal it or harm-

– You’re lying. I can tell from the quivering of your voice.

It doesn’t seem like we’ll get out of this one by talking.

I’m decided.

– Mike.

– …

I don’t know anything about Mike before I found her. To her, she has finally found another one of her kind.

– Grr…

But she’s decided too.

– LET’S GO, MIKE!

– GAAWR.

At my cue, Mike jumped towards the divine wolf.

My objective, however, was the pedestal.

– Five minutes… No, three minutes will be enough. Please!

Even with the obvious difference in strength, we have no choice but to fight our way through.

– How absurd.

– Wha-!?

The wolf swung its tail and created a gust of wind strong enough to knock us back.

– That was my first and last warning. Stand up and leave at once or you will be torn asunder.

We were forced back while the wolf was simply sitting there looking at us condescendingly. Not even in a fighting stance.

No one but Mike and I are here. Ever is likely monitoring my vital signs, but not even her is fast enough to arrive in time if I get myself killed in less than a second.

I took a deep breath.

It’s okay. This is fine. We can do this.

We have the tools to win this.

– Mike, change of plans. We’re aiming for the wolf first.

– You have been warned.

– Come on, Mike. It’ll be a little cold, but please bear with it.

The golden eyes of the guardian wolf narrowed.

In the reflection of its eyes was Mike, whose almost entire body I covered with a hardened ice armor.
