They charged at the Direwolves, swords raised, but Oren soon realized that only he had fully awakened powers among them. The other guards were still beginners, their skills unrefined against the monstrous foes.
The main combat troops weren't nearby so he had to hold on.
The first Direwolf lunged at a guard, its jaws snapping shut inches from his face. Oren dispatched the beast with a swift slash of his sword, the blade glinting in the morning light as it cut through fur and flesh. But even as he fought valiantly, he knew it wouldn't be enough.
Another ran straight at him from the other side, noticing that Oren raised his shield.
BANG!
With a sickening impact, Oren was pushed back as Direwolf slammed against the shield but Oren instead of pushing against the ground, turned around using the counterforce and kicked Direwolf.
