Aegis dodged left as a Shadowfang Wolf lunged at her throat.
Her dagger flashed, catching it mid-air. The blade sank into fur and muscle. The wolf yelped and hit the ground hard.
Blood sprayed across the grass.
"Three down!" Scarlett called out, yanking her sword from another wolf's skull.
Green notification text flickered in Aegis's vision.
EXP Gained: 45
"Four more to go!" Aegis spun, Ruby and Sapphire gleaming in the afternoon sun.
Another wolf charged. She sidestepped, slashing across its flank. It whimpered and collapsed.
Scarlett was already moving, sword cleaving through two wolves at once. Her muscles flexed with each swing. Sweat made her skin shine.
[Damn. She's gotten way better.]
The last wolf tried to flee.
Scarlett threw her sword.
It impaled the creature through the spine.
"Got it!" She jogged over, retrieving her blade. "That's the pack. Nice work."
Aegis wiped wolf blood off her face.
"You too. Your form's improved."
