As soon as the other wolves heard their leader's howl, they fell in a daze. All the wolves stood like a statue for a few seconds and then an instant glared at the adventuring party in front of them. This time they looked more angry and ferocious and their eyes rolled and their eye whites were revealed as if they went insane.

It seemed the wolves just received some instructions from their leader.

The grey wolves without wasting any time quickly launched a fierce assault. This time they didn't even care about their safety and just charged blindly.

Razor and Bel replied to the assault with kind.
Razor kept swinging his sword graciously in the air and all the wolves that came across his blade were butchered in meatballs. His blade created a gust of wind-shaped blade aimed at the wolves cutting them in half.

Meanwhile, Bel attacked fiercely with his fire spells and explosions as he waved his hands.
The rotten smell of burning wolves polluted the air.

Artecia hidden in the trees provided cover and fired ice arrows striking her target with quiet precision. Every arrow she shot would hit the wolves on their head, killing them in an instant.

The trio's assault was working and the number of wolves started declining at a rapid pace.

All of a sudden I heard loud noises of footsteps approaching near the waterfall. The noise came from the same direction as from where the leader of the wolf was. It sounded like the footsteps of hundreds of wolves marching to the battlefield.

I stood motionless hugging the tree and gazed at the woods in the direction of the noise.

The woods in the distance started shaking and it was soon a huge army of grey wolves charged fiercely. The numbers were in hundreds or even thousands. The huge army of wolves poured out from the woods like an ant army when their colony was under attack.

Each and every wolf looked strong and healthy. Even their eyes had rolled and only eye whites were visible. They all reinforced the encirclement to kill Razor and Bel. The outcome suddenly changed, Bel and Razor pushed back against each other's back.

Where the fuck did a such number of wolves get here?
Is this the entirety of wolf species gathered here together or what?

It wasn't long when the other wolves sensed Artecia's presence. The remaining wolves attacked the tree where she was hiding. They attacked with their jaws and claws trying to pull down the tree. The tree started to shake when faced with such a fierce assault.

Artecia's nonchalant demeanor had long vanished, her brows wrinkled and attacked all the nearby attacking wolves.

She started chanting and a magic circle appeared in front of her bow and then she shot the arrow. As soon as the arrow left the bowstring it cloned itself into hundreds of arrows and rained down killing all the wolves in the vicinity.

But it wasn't long other wolves would take their place and attacked the tree instead. They were trying to tumble the tree to drag out Artecia on the ground.

If the wolves sensed my presence I would fall in the same situation as her. Thankfully I was very far away and the paste and mud on my body helped me hide my presence to some extent.

"Guys mind lending me some hand?" Artecia shouted while firing ice arrows nonstop.

The tree trunk was fiercely damaged by the claws and jaws. The tree won't be able to hold on for much longer.

Hearing Artecia's call Razor glanced at her situation,
"Alright Bel let's regroup first"

Bel nodded in reply while still casting spells on the wolves.
