there, his mind still processing everything he had just seen, when suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A roar tore through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground trembled faintly beneath their feet as something massive moved just beyond the outer range of the unfinished wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every head turned at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The workers froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Knights straightened instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maxwell’s eyes sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frazanna’s hand moved toward her weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another roar followed, louder this time, filled with raw aggression and hunger that made even seasoned warriors tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s coming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the Holy Knights whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The presence grew stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of heavy footsteps echoed, each one striking the ground with force that carried through the air like a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maxwell stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prepare—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice cut through his

sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard knight’s expression remained calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not interfere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maxwell’s brows

react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trust us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maxwell stared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trust you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could say more—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It burst from the edge of the forest, its massive body tearing through branches and debris as if nothing could slow it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its eyes were bloodshot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its breath came out in harsh bursts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its claws dug deep into the ground with every step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Frenzied Ravager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maxwell recognized it instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body tensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That thing is—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the guard knight stepped forward slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold your position.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The command was directed not at Maxwell—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the knights behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they obeyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maxwell’s eyes widened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re not even preparing to fight directly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard knight raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then signaled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the gate—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More guard knights emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not rushing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not panicking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They moved with purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Controlled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They spread out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each one taking a position around the incoming beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maxwell frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are they doing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frazanna watched carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re not engaging.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast roared again, charging forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of meeting it head-on—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard knights moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They circled it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not too close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not too far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just enough to keep its attention divided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast turned sharply, trying to focus on one target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its movements grew erratic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its aggression spiked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it could not lock onto a single opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re confusing it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the Holy Knights whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maxwell’s gaze sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not just confusing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned forward slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re controlling its movement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every step the beast took was guided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every turn it made was influenced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard knights moved like a coordinated unit, each action calculated to direct the beast where they wanted it to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the opposite side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maxwell froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s another one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frazanna’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It can’t be...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second beast emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More aggressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its body carried scars from countless battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its eyes burned with a deeper rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Bonebreaker Colossus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Knights stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s worse...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That one is worse...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maxwell’s heart pounded once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is getting out of control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need to—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard knight’s voice cut in again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maxwell turned sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You expect us to do nothing while two of those—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard knight’s tone did not change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just watch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maxwell clenched his fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because something about the situation—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something about the way the guards were moving—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Made him hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He forced himself to observe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second beast charged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of letting it collide with the first immediately—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard knights adjusted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They repositioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They guided both beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Separately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They aligned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maxwell’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The realization hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re making them meet...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first beast turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second beast charged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the next moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They collided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact echoed like thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground shook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dust rose into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both beasts roared, their voices clashing in a chaotic burst of rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They attacked each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claws tore into flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fangs sank deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Frenzied Ravager lunged forward, biting into the Colossus’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Colossus responded with a crushing strike, its massive limb slamming into the Ravager’s body with enough force to send it sliding across the dirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle escalated instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only pure violence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maxwell stared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frazanna finished his thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Letting them kill each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Holy Knights could not look away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every movement of the beasts carried destructive force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every strike could have ended a lesser opponent instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But against each other—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They endured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They fought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They tore into one another without stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ravager leaped again, claws slicing across the Colossus’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Colossus roared, grabbing the Ravager mid-air and slamming it into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact cracked the earth beneath them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ravager writhed, then twisted, biting into the Colossus’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood poured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Colossus howled, shaking violently, trying to tear the Ravager off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maxwell’s breathing slowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind struggled to keep up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is insane...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard knights remained in position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not interfering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not stepping in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They allowed the fight to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allowed the beasts to exhaust themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allowed the damage to build.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes that felt much longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle grew more brutal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More desperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beasts slowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their movements lost precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their attacks became heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still deadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood covered the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bodies were torn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their breathing labored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driven by instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driven by rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They faltered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ravager stumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Colossus dropped to one knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both creatures were still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But barely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their strength had been drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bodies pushed
