Lena gained ground on the kid. Her wolf was pushing harder now, muscles bunching and releasing with each stride. But the child didn't slow. If anything, he looked more determined to escape the woman.
"Slow down! I'm not going to hurt you!"
The kid didn't reply.
Reidar swung into the side street, his spectral knights made a barricade against the pursuing swarm.
The bug monsters were the first to reach them.
"Hold the line!"
The spectral knights raised their swords, ready to face the oncoming horde. 30 wolves and 10 knights of level 80 filled the space between the two streets and started clashing with the monstrosities.
Reidar didn't wait to see the outcome. He urged his wolf forward, followed by the other one he summoned, and reached the end of the street just in time to see Lena turn another corner. But they were barely visible in the distance. Reidar swore under his breath, and urged his wolf to go faster.
