Grim had not thought about this before when they set out to avenge the parties that had killed Bjarki's pack.
However, that doesn't mean that an idea like this never crossed Grim's mind before.
He had seen many times how Sigewulf's decisions based solely on emotion brought disappointing results to their pack.
But all the Lycans don't complain any further as they respect Sigewulf's power. So that he keeps his position as an Alpha.
Including Grim, who could only grit his teeth when Sigewulf's decision brought minimal results.
Even though Grim knew that there was a better way to get bigger profits.
Grim of course gave him advise time and time again. About him having to reconsider his decision for a better result.
And many times too, Sigewulf refuses without any reasonable reason except just because his pride prevents him from admitting mistakes.
After being rejected many times, Grim decided not to talk to him anymore and just follow his every decision.
However, when the opportunity was created before his eyes, Grim as someone who is not stupid saw the opportunity well.
If the mysterious man kills Sigewulf, then he as the second strongest Lycan in this pack will become the Alpha.
So that he can lead this pack to a brighter path.
Grim noticed that all of the Lycans around him were visibly agitated.
Their feelings are a mixture of fear, anxiety, and anger. Even though they saw Sigewulf mauling the man without giving him any openings, their instincts said that Sigewulf still had not won.
They felt that something seemed to want to rise to the surface from that man.
He will not just stay silent and die when Sigewulf mauls him.
Suddenly there was a spark of lightning emerged from Erend's body.
Sigewulf who was attacking him relentlessly stopped immediately because he felt something wrong.
He immediately jumped back and put himself on alert. Waiting for whatever will be issued by Erend.
Whatever it was, it wasn't something good for him.
So Sigewulf is also preparing to draw out his remaining power.
Erend started to stand up and looked at Sigewulf. He moved his hands, tired from dealing with Sigewulf's attack.
"I'm tired of playing with you," Erend said. "I never really knew how to play with dogs."
[ Skill activated: Thunder Dragon Transformation (Lv.1) ]
Lightning appeared around Erend. Emitting out of his body like whips of light whipping the ground and air.
Those who saw that Erend was emitting lightning from his body became increasingly uneasy.
Because they see that,
he had been fighting with the power of fire before.
'(W-what is that?!)'
'(I've never seen anything like that before. A dual-element power?!)'
'(No! What should we do?! What will happen to Sigewulf?!)'
The Lycans uttered their frightened lines. Without them realizing it, their legs moved backward. Driven by fear of immense power.
Grim, who had expected this to happen, felt a dread that made his fur stand stiff. He gritted his teeth tightly and swallowed hard.
'(Calm down. We don't know the end of this battle yet,)' Grim said to the Lycans.
The Lycans stared at him. He could see despair was getting to them.
This was ironic considering that Grim had seen the same expression on the human Adventurers earlier.
'(You know that Sigewulf hasn't changed into that form yet,)' Grim added.
Hearing what he said, the Lycans in the pack turned calmer than before.
Even if only a little. But at least Grim managed to prevent them from being reckless just because they were driven by fear and rage.
'(Let's watch and hope for the best. We won't know what happens next until it happens.)'
Grim turned his head again to look at the fight. Where now a bluish light is created and soars into the sky.
The light also dazzled the eyes of the Lycans. Moreover, as if they felt the impact of the lightning surge, their fur stood stiffly and they felt the lightning sting all over their bodies.
*JZZZZRRRRZZTTT!*
*JDARRR!*
*JDAARR!*
Lightning flashed from Erend's transforming body. The lightning shattered the ground around the transformation site.
Sigewulf who was in front of him was shuddering. He dug his claws deeper into the ground to deal with the tremors in his body.
Sigewulf tries to steel himself not to be consumed by the fear of Erend's power.
Then he realized just how great the power before his eyes was.
'I have to change too!'
Seeing no other choice, Sigewulf used his Magic to unlock all of his true power.
no(????(e)lbi????.n(et
A black aura overflowed high into the sky to match the bluish light that Erend gave off.
Now, in front of Raichi town, there are two towers of light that are created from enormous Magic power.
The townspeople prefer to stay in their homes and pray to whatever god they believe in.
Especially when they felt the sting of lightning waves on their bodies. Some of the townspeople thought they were going to die.
Even so, there were still some people who were curious and wanted to take a look outside.
Those who looked outside would witness the appearance of an incredibly strong figure. A creature in the legend that was once thought to be not real.
When the bluish light disappeared, the Thunder Dragon appeared in front of them.
His towering and gigantic figure was visible from behind the town wall. Making the curious people widen their eyes and mouths without being able to say anything.
The Lycans were struck by awe. Those who were originally a little calmer felt the fear coming back.
However, their hopes were not lost because they saw that Sigewulf had also changed into his final form.
When the black Magic aura disappeared, Sigewulf appeared with a big change.
Sigewulf, who was previously a giant wolf, turns into a wolf who walks on two legs like a human with a wolf's head. With the black fur still wrapped around his body.
His height is equal to Dragon-Erend. His eyes were completely black like an abyss. And he was wearing some kind of armor with a dark red color. Like frozen blood.
