Without even waiting for a response from Alidus' group, I immediately gave an order. "Burn the bushes!"

There was a second of hesitation from Klein and Shaka when they heard this, but then they followed my orders.

The three of us turned our wyverns in different directions before releasing flame breaths that fell down on the bushes that were around the giants. These were the same bushes that had rustled earlier and were still moving.

When the flame breaths fell down on these bushes, they immediately caught on fire, but there were things that jumped out of these bushes. They jumped out even before the flames landed on them to set them ablaze.

After jumping out, we were able to see what these things were.

Wolves.

It was a pack of wolves that had surrounded the giants.

But we didn't continue our attack as we had the wyverns land down near the giants.

When Alidus saw us coming down, he immediately picked the giant child off the ground and lifted him up as if he wanted to hand this child to me.

I looked at him with one brow raised, but I didn't take the giant child.

Sure it would have been easy for me to have Joan pick up the giant and carry him away, but I didn't think the situation was bad enough for that just yet.

Instead, I had the wyverns land and said, "Why are you giving up that easily?"

There was a bitter smile that appeared on Alidus' face when he heard this before he said, "These wolves aren't normal, they are Great Wolves that are even led by a Great Wolf King."

Great Wolves...

If they were to try, then they would end up choking on the smoke that filled the air. That was because the Great Wolves howled to cast their spells. If they didn't howl, then they wouldn't be able to gather mana to cast the spells with.

That was why I had the wyverns burn the trees around us, just so they couldn't howl.

The reason that the Great Wolves had to howl was because of the special organ that was inside of their necks. This was an organ that other creatures didn't have, but it was one that made the Great Wolves sensitive to mana, which gave them the ability to cast magic spells.

Since it was in their throats, that meant that the only way for them to control mana with that special organ was to howl.

The smoke had completely sealed off their magic.

Alidus wasn't a fool, he could see what effect the smoke had on the Great Wolves. Though the flames did technically trap them like this, it had also stopped the Great Wolves from using their magic spells to attack them. The magic spells of the Great Wolves would have been the biggest problem since they would have been suppressed by these long range attacks from the Great Wolves.

The fact that they weren't casting their spells was a great help to them.

But that still didn't mean that they had a way out of this place.

After making sure that the Great Wolves couldn't cast their spells, I looked to Alidus and said, "Do you know why they gathered like this?"

Alidus narrowed his eyes to look at the Great Wolves before saying, "They are special monsters and have their own intelligence. At the same time, they have their king who is more intelligent than the others."

Alidus paused to look at Zaag, the giant child who was still curled up and said, "They most likely used him as bait so that we would be drawn here."

There was a bitter look that appeared on his face when he said this.

"So you're saying that this is all of them?"

Alidus was surprised by this question, but then he gave a nod in response.

"Then I have a way out of here." I suddenly said.
