The battlefield was stained red with blood and guts all over the place. The incomplete corpses of dead wolves laid all around the riverbank. The air smelled so repugnant that I could just vomit any second.

The stream water running down from the waterfall now was turned red. It was contaminated by all the dead grey wolf's flesh meat and organs.

Now the battle has taken its final form.
It's either the Crimson Velvet party or the Dire wolf, only one of the two could walk away.

The trio, Artecia, and Bel facing left and right guarding against the other remaining grey wolves.
Meanwhile, Razor standing in the front glaring straight ahead at the colossal beast, the ruler class Dire wolf.

I looked around and I didn't find Perry anywhere.
He might already be-

"Artecia, go back on the tree. Be on the lookout for Perry while also providing cover fire." Razor commanded without turning his head, maintaining his gaze at the Dire Wolf.

Artecia quickly turned around swiftly climb the tree she was hiding in before.

He continued,
"Bel, you stand your ground and defend Artecia."

Bel nodded in response and stood below Artecia's tree.
Two flames appeared in his hands, ready to deploy his spells.

"Stand your ground until Halberd and Metrina return.", Razor started walking towards the Dire wolf, "Meanwhile I shall try to tame this bib pup here."

The Dire wolf barked and the remaining other wolves hearing it started attacking Bel and Artecia. The two mages also replied with their fire spells and ice arrows and the battle fell in a stalemate.

Razor also sprinted towards the Dire wolf and slashed his sword left and right killing nearby grey wolves. He had a sneer on his face while mocking the Dire wolf.

The Dire Wolf stayed his guard and smashed his giant claw towards Razor.
The claw size bigger than a grown-up man which could easily uproot a tree fell on Razor like a meteor.

Razor didn't mind and easily parried the claw-like as if it weighed nothing. The big claw smashed the rocky ground and forming large cracks like cobwebs. He didn't stop and closed in and sliced towards the Dire wolf's neck with full force. Razor was directly trying to put an end to this battle with one deadly strike.

Although, Dire wolf sensed this deadly strike shouldn't be trifled with and quickly moved his neck protecting its vital area. Razor's strike missed wounded it beside its neck and in the front limbs.

The big Dire wolf leaped backward, trying to create distance between him and Razor. He now knew that Razor wasn't some easy foe.

Nearby troops uprooted as the Dire wolf jumped around the woods. He was limping while he ran around, Razor's strike didn't kill him but surely wounded it. The Dire wolf glared even more ferociously snarling and growling at Razor releasing its bloodlust.

Razor just walked towards the wolf and flicked his sword, the blood on the sword splashed on the ground.

Meanwhile, Bel and Artecia worked together hunting the rest of the grey wolves. Bel and Artecia's Fire spells and Ice arrows constantly barraged on the wolves. The spell combo of fire and ice created steam, sometimes the air would be hot and sometimes cold. The two mages looked exhausted and may run out of mana anytime soon.

Razor and the Dire wolf battled tooth and nail. The big claws followed by its fierce jaws attacked Razor with his full might. He evaded Wolf's jaws and parried the claw attacks and counter-attacking with his own sword skills paired with the wind mana skills injuring the dire wolf slowly and steadily. Razor also couldn't come out unscathed when he parried the claw attacks and had a lot of wounds despite wearing armor.
