That’s exactly what I mean by you barbarians being simple-minded! Listen carefully—what’s Terra’s ultimate goal in sending us here? To resolve the crisis in the North!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that crisis is closely linked to that Rank 6 creature. In other words, no matter how we address the problem, we’ll eventually have to face it head-on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So since we can’t avoid it, we might as well use it as a breakthrough.

This creature,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>isn’t it the Forest Giant Wolf?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an old adversary she remembered vividly, Hulim was quite shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew Forest Giant Wolves were among the few creatures capable of advancing in rank, but she never imagined one could reach S-rank......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is it staying in its true form? Can’t it shapeshift into a human?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at the crouched wolf, Sylph asked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Avery, can you tell what’s wrong with it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Avery shook his head, then warned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Abnormal.

The black aura on its body spread rapidly, sending waves of dark energy rippling outward with the howl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Galamand’s breath collided with the black waves, it was instantly neutralized and scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scattered flames even turned pitch black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sight made everyone’s expressions change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This creature is definitely not right......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not touch that aura!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Avery looked up and warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it, this lord will be careful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, let’s go help too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora spoke up, then flew forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy light radiated from her body, illuminating the entire canyon in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright! Let’s move!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the group quickly joined the battle......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drawing on her instincts, Hulim channeled all the water elements in the canyon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, several water dragons tangled with ice shards surged toward the Forest Giant Wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Forest Giant Wolf unleashed waves of pitch-black energy, instantly neutralizing and shattering all of Hulim’s magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the ground beneath the wolf’s feet churned, throwing it off balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Forest Giant Wolf quickly lifted one paw and slammed it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black aura seeped into the ground, restoring calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before it could finish reacting, spells of wind, fire, light, and darkness came crashing down on it relentlessly......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where there had once been a canyon, there was now a flat plain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud crash rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Forest Giant Wolf fell to the ground, showing no signs of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After its death, black particles drifted away from its body, eventually dissipating into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell was wrong with this thing......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared at the wolf’s fallen form, unsure how to put it into words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had acted as if it knew no fear of death, ignoring its wounds entirely. Even when on the brink of collapse, it had fought with all its might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with such a foe, they had no choice but to fight back with full force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinarily, when a creature is near death, its bodily functions decline, making it easier to subdue. But this Forest Giant Wolf was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if this body didn’t belong to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a puppet—even if torn to pieces, it would be driven until it could no longer move......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now what? It’s dead. Did we mess up the mission?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Avery’s expression remained unchanged.

At the top of the hill rested a heart-like object, and they could even hear its \"thump, thump\" beating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Avery stared at the heart, as if sensing something, and spoke slowly: \"Hatred, fear, death, corruption...... This thing is a twisted collection of all the world’s negative energies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone exchanged confused looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Semiris doesn’t understand a word Avery is saying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, cough! N-no wonder you’re the Spirit of the Ley Lines—even if I don’t get it, it sounds really impressive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This lord gets it! In short, that thing’s the root of all trouble, right? It looks disgusting! This lord will destroy it now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galamand raised his right hand, ready to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Avery stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?
