The broken pieces blazed in mid-air and shot out in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the one with the highest combat instincts, Varian was the first to respond despite being an unawakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body moved on its own and he pulled down both Amanda and Sia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision spun and the next thing he knew, he was on the floor as a piece of flaming tile flew inches above the bewildered Sia and the confused Amanda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze darted to the broken wall as his heart gripped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wall of his room, the one filled with the records of his personal heroes was gone. A cloud of dust was all that was left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dust, a pair of red eyes shone and a large silhouette appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian felt a sense of terror fill every fiber of his being. He desperately wanted to run away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But hearing the ragged breathings behind, he gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked a piece of the broken brick and hurtled it toward the creature as he yelled. \"Run!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his shout, both Amanda and Sia came to their senses. Their instincts too warned them to run away. But they joined the fight right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mad howling sounded and the creature—red-furred, two-meter tall—a giant flaming wolf was about to pounce on Varian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, its pupils constricted and its movements slowed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right then, the broken brick that Varian threw reached its left eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's eyes glittered in hope. Even though the creature seemed to be at the peak level 2, if it lost one of its eyes, then things would be easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like all the monster hunting novels he read, blinding an enemy was the best way to—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fireball shot up in front of the wolf and melted the brick into ashes. Then, it shot straight at Varian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Varian!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Var!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The anxious shouts of Amanda and Sia reached him but Varian couldn't avoid the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to Sia's mind power interfering with the process, the fireball was indeed slow, but it was still too fast for an unawakened Varian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only watch as it reached him at a ridiculous speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right when he thought it'd hit him in the chest and burn his heart to crisp, the fireball slammed down on the ground in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's eyebrows jumped and he turned to see Sia panting with a clenched fist. Her other hand was pointing in his direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gravity power…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, he sprinted and reached a position relatively remote to the flaming wolf's field of vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he picked up another stone to hurl, the sound of thunder reached his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amanda's awkwardly conjured lightning ball reached the flaming wolf. The creature merely twisted its body and dodged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a non-combatant awakener and wasn't even regarded as a threat by the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a roar, the beast's fire sense noted the two beings that posed a threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brown-haired girl's combat sense wasn't great. She likely never had a real battle with monsters—which was the case with almost every youth her age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite that, she wielded two powers and posed it a deadly threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other option was the boy. Even though he had the best combat instincts, his powers were lacking to hurt it. If he had a weapon, he could've been a bigger threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the two women seemed to care about him from the way they shouted. Even though it wasn't very intelligent, the wolf was able to sense the kinship between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, with a growl, it shot a dozen fireballs at the boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amanda ran towards Varian using all her strength. But there's no way she could make it in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Sia used her gravity powers and diverted all but one fireball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that one fireball, despite being slowed reached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Varian could see was a blur and in the next second, his body started to burn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arghh!\" His painful scream made the hearts of Sia and Amanda ache and their eyes reddened in grief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Var!\" Amanda finally reached Varian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her son's burnt skin and bleeding chest, her heart ached and rage boiled in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the fear in her heart vanished. She stared the flaming wolf in the eye and conjured a lightning bolt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flaming wolf not only didn't back down, but it instead sprinted towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die!\" With a voice filled with hatred, she cursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amanda's lightning bolt shot at a speed far surpassing her earlier attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woo?\" The flaming wolf was caught off guard and was about to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With its speed, it shouldn't be a problem. But a numbing mind pain and chaotic gravity restricted its movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolf shrieked in pain as the lightning bolt hit it in the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A numb feeling spread to its upper parts and blood spilled on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I…\" Amanda felt a feeling of weakness spread throughout her body and she collapsed onto her knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn't a fighter and the earlier attack completely drained her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\" The flaming wolf's calm eyes turned bloodshot and it bolted towards the woman on her knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia's eyes widened as she realized she could only delay the creature, not stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She yelled as she ran after the wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her current powers, she could either boost her own speed or slow down the wolf, not both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You beast!\" Her words were like needles that prickled the wolf's brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\" The creature's eyes grew erratic as it felt a terrible pain in its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia did this to provoke the creature and make herself a target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the wolf was already furious and her actions only made it more bloodthirsty. It ran towards its nearest target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amanda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the gravity path restricting it, despite its mind aching, the wolf was quickly closing the distance between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eat me!\" Sia shouted in tears as she ran after the beast. Her speed wasn't fast enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have more aura!\" Her heartbreaking cry echoed in the poor neighborhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Sia's teary eyes, the wolf lunged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amanda's body froze as her face paled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right when she thought she was going to die, she felt a pull from her leg and rolled to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her place was Varian. The right side of his body was completely burnt. His flesh was charred and bones showed in some places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he managed to save Amanda at the last moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One would wonder how he was even conscious despite such terrible injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Sia didn't wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor did Amanda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they saw Varian swapping places at the last moment, their hearts froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\" The wolf's mouth reached Varian in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his knees, Varian was powerless to stop his impending death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Varian!\" Sia was just a step away from the wolf, but the distance was like an uncrossable moat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia raised her hand to stop her worst nightmare from happening, but she was helpless as the wolf's teeth touched Varian's skin, about to tear his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>",1211,"2026-06-06T07:58:26.749Z",1,"novelbin.me","b218b3ea7974b20a77ac12d3b64f9b8ff0bf8dcf1219c4cfe197fda99c8e9a4f","divine-path-system-chapter-660","divine-path-system-chapter-658",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
