Chapter 213 Light
Attack by giant wolves.
They had hesitated for too long. Attacking human settlements was too risky, and there was also the possibility of subsequent retaliation, so the wolves needed to think carefully even in anger.
If the sun had not been about to rise, they would have hesitated a little longer.
"No reaction at all?"
The giant wolf had already rushed into the village, but the militiamen were still fighting and retreating, allowing women and children to escape the village.
But none of this makes any sense.
The wilderness outside villages and towns has never been human territory. Even if the sun rises and drives away the giant wolves, when the next night falls, the humans in the wilderness will lose their walls and buildings and will be no match for the monsters.
If this continues, the village will be destroyed.
And the man behind the scenes didn't seem to have any intention of protecting the village.
"That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that this village has lost its value to it?"
Fari was hesitating whether to take action. There was still a part of him that was human, and seeing the bodies of the villagers not far away being torn apart made him feel very uncomfortable.
“It’s not the end yet.”
On the other hand, Savrina was more patient.
As a silver dragon, he enjoys getting along with intelligent creatures like humans, and will also help them drive away some threatening monsters.
But the silver dragon is a cold-blooded creature after all. When the need arises, Savrina will watch without mercy as these humans are torn to pieces by the giant wolf's fangs.
"They haven't taken over the village yet."
There was a hint of reluctance in Savrina's eyes. She really liked the company of humans, but this reluctance did not affect her behavior.
"It's possible that he just wants you to be soft-hearted and protect this village for him."
Fary silently lay down on the ground again. From their point of view, what Safrina did was correct. The people in this village did not have a deep connection with them. Even if they all died in the giant wolf's mouth, Fary had no obligation to help them.
“There are still humans out there.”
The leader wolf twitched its nose and turned to look to the other side. In that direction was the abandoned settlement of the goblins.
Amid the howling of the leader, several giant wolves broke away from the group and ran towards the abandoned settlement.
"How could this be?"
The goblins did not save money on the abandoned settlement. In order to protect the goblins who came alone for pilgrimage, a lot of magical items that can isolate breath and smell and have the effect of driving away monsters were placed around the settlement.
Normally, the giant wolves should not notice Sana and the others hiding in the settlement.
There is no doubt that the big hand behind the scenes took action.
"What's the purpose? To force me to take action?"
Fari flapped his wings and took off into the air.
"But how can he be sure that I will do it? That little girl is not my friend. I let those villagers die. Why would he think that I would do it for that little girl?"
Fari had arrived above the settlement. He discovered that there seemed to be some minor problems with the arrangement of the magical items that isolated the aura, which caused occasional conflicts between them during operation, resulting in temporary failure.
"How did it do that?" Farry watched the goblin pilgrims arrange these magic items at the entrance of the lair. Based on the dragon's memory, he could confirm that the arrangement of these magic items was the same as it was then. This arrangement method would fail briefly once every few years, which would not have been a problem.
Most magic circles, especially those set up with magical items, will have similar problems, which is not a big deal.
"This timing is just perfect."
Fary hovered over the settlement, resisting the urge to swoop down and finish off the giant wolves.
He took a deep breath and looked at the two human children.
"Wait a little longer, there's still time to take action at the last minute."
After all, those villagers had never interacted with Fary, so he could still close his eyes and treat them as some kind of "objects" that had nothing to do with his life. However, the two people below were a little different. After all, Fary had real communication and conversation with them, and he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
"If the final mastermind doesn't come out, save people."
Fary prepared a repulsion spell, which was a spell that was triggered very quickly and could push away everything around the target. It was the most suitable spell in Fary's hands to intervene and save people at the last moment.
The giant wolves were professional hunters. With the help of the houses and terrain in the settlement, Sana and her companions were able to delay the children for a little while, but in the end they were still caught up by the giant wolves. There was no way that two little kids could outrun the giant wolves on foot, and soon the giant wolves were within easy reach to pounce on them.
"Still haven't made a move?"
Fari didn't notice any movement around him and sighed. The giant wolf's claws were about to touch Sana's body, and Fari triggered his own spell.
If nothing unexpected happens, this spell will push the giant wolf away, buying Fari a few seconds, allowing him to rush to Sana from thousands of meters in the air and kill these giant wolves.
If there is no accident.
"I……"
Fari swallowed the curse word. It was not the giant wolf that was pushed away by the repulsion spell. It was the boy named Enji who stood in front of Sana. Then, the repulsion spell took effect and he was pushed towards the giant wolf.
Farui had no spells to intervene, so he could only descend and watch as the giant wolf's sharp claws pierced the boy's heart.
"do not want!"
A wail came from Sana's mouth. She lost her last companion today.
Fari flapped his wings, he felt his scales stand up, and he felt a gaze sweeping over him.
The sight came from the other side of the horizon, and in just a moment, Farui knew where it came from.
"So my magic is just one part of it?"
A glow appeared on the horizon. It was earlier than the normal sunrise time, and the sun was still rising faster, as if it was trying urgently to reach Sana below.
"No, this is not a line of sight."
Following closely behind was another ray of light, and the slightly smaller sun also cast its gaze over there.
Similarly, there was a hint of doubt in this sight, but after coming into contact with Sana, the doubt turned into intimacy, and then, it felt the sadness and anger emanating from Sana.
Then, the sun rose faster, and before the giant wolves could react, the light passed through their bodies. Then, their fur and flesh began to fall off their bodies piece by piece. In just ten seconds, the giant wolves in front of Sana were left with only a pile of skeletons and rotten flesh.
