In a battle between wild beasts, there weren't any warnings nor formalities.
It started whenever one moved, and it ended with either one of the participants dead.
With a powerful howl, Sierra accelerated toward the Alpha wolf. Her momentum was terrifying as her size and strength looked imposing.
Meanwhile, the alpha wolf didn't fight one on one. He knew that the match would be over even before it could realize. Therefore, he howled back toward Sierra without moving. After he howled, a group of ten wolves pounced from the sides toward Sierra.
All ten of these wolves had a number of red runes inscribed in their fur, similar to the alpha. The number and density of the red runes changed depending on who was stronger. The alpha had a total of ten red runes, and the other ten had between six and eight.
The weakest one pounced toward Sierra with the intention of testing Sierra's strength. Sierra looked at the approaching wolf with chilling coldness and swiped her paw toward it.
*Bang!*
With an extremely loud sound, the wolf was sent flying with four terrible charred gashes on its side, broken bones, and internal organs ruptured. Its mouth was flooded with blood as if its insides almost shot out from the mouth.
The moment Sierra slowed down to slap that wolf away, another one tried to approach from behind to bite her hind legs. What it didn't expect was Sierra's big and fluffy tail to be covered by powerful lighting and smashed down on its head.
This time the crunch of bones harshly breaking echoed together with the explosive sound of the tail connecting with the wolf's head. The powerful strike made its skull collapse and killed it instantly.
Sierra's strength was tyrannical compared with these puny wolves. Evelyn smirked after seeing these two attacks, 'She is overwhelmingly superior. This isn't a fight, but a massacre.'
Without letting Sierra rest, another wolf jumped on top of her. It was somewhat comical since it looked like a small dog jumping on the back of a mature wolf.
Sierra let it land while a sneer appeared in her mouth.
The wolf was surprised that it managed to land, but it didn't delay its attack and bit down with all its strength. The teeth were covered in some sort of red miasma as they bit down on Sierra's back.
However, the wolf almost yelped in pain as the teeth literally cracked, unable to pierce through her tough skin. Then, Sierra summoned a yellow lightning bolt from the sky, making it fall over herself.
*RUMBLE!*
The bolt fell, and that wolf was stricken down to such an extent that it was transformed into a piece of black charcoal in an instant.
Sierra calmly walked forward, and that dead wolf naturally slipped down her back, leaving behind pristine white fur. Her face was indifferent as she looked at the alpha and the remaining seven wolves. There weren't any words or sounds exchanged. Sierra's cold blue eyes spoke thousands of words already.
Meanwhile, the Alpha wolf was casting some kind of spell together with another three wolves. The red runes on their body glowed with a bloody light, and between them, a red circle with different symbols appeared.
The red ink from that circle crept up their limbs and combined with their marks in a mesmerizing yet oddly unsettling ritual. Evelyn frowned and prepared in case something went wrong.
Of course, Sierra wouldn't let him finish whatever he was doing. As a wolf, she was cautious in nature. No matter how strong she was, she wouldn't underestimate her prey.
Electricity rushed up her legs as she pushed forward, making the snowy land under her explode. Like a white and yellow blur, her giant figure zoomed toward the ritual area.
The last four wolves that weren't doing the ritual got in Sierra's way. They were the strongest of the pack besides the alpha, all of them having eight red markings.
Those markings glowed, and their bodies became bulkier, increasing their strength manifold. It was clear that it was some kind of berserk skill as the sanity from their eyes disappeared as they growled and jumped toward Sierra.
The Wolf Queen's eyes looked cold as she didn't slow down. The yellow electric arcs around her thickened and covered the front of her body.
Both groups collided.
Like a beast ramming a mortal, Sierra tackled the wolves with terrible strength. The enormous body of the white female wolf was like an avalanche, unstoppable, as she sent the four wolves flying.
The alpha didn't expect Sierra's strength to have increased so much! He was sure that they would be able to exchange some moves with Sierra using their trump card, but the Wolf Queen had exceeded his expectations.
Still, he didn't completely miscalculate, as the four wolves were still alive. However, Sierra's tackle was so strong that by the time they recovered enough to fight, Sierra would have been able to reach the ritual.
In short, the other four wolves couldn't finish the ritual before Sierra arrived, surrounded by powerful yellow lightning and murderous eyes.
All the slights she had received were about to be paid with the blood of the offenders!...
Or so she thought.
*BOOM!*
A red vortex shot up from the unfinished ritual, making the four wolves begin to literally melt as they howled from agonizing pain.
The energy emissions were so high that Sierra got forcefully stopped and couldn't approach!
She frowned and charged a powerful attack, sending a rain of lightning bolts that would send a chill down anyone's spine toward that place. However, even her attacks were repelled.
The leader managed to roar with rage as its body terrifyingly melted, "I've sacrificed myself to finish the ritual! I knew I would lose the moment you killed the first wolf, so I'm going to leave you a present you won't forget!"
However, a cheeky voice answered him, "You wish~."
The wolves that hadn't paid attention to the human because she looked insignificant beside Sierra turned their attention toward her at that moment.
Evelyn didn't want to move at first because she wanted Sierra to take revenge for herself, but the ritual they were doing was way too dangerous.
Even if Evelyn didn't understand formations and similar things, she knew some things, as Angel loved speaking about interesting and unknown formation lines with them.
Evelyn would always listen to her because she liked seeing Angel's enthusiasm when explaining these things, and also taught her a lot.
Of course, this ritual wasn't one of them. Coincidences like that would be too good to be true.
Nonetheless, some parts she had observed during Sierra's fight had a resemblance to an abyssal creature summoning Angel had shown her before. The moment the red vortex appeared, Evelyn knew Sierra would be unable to do anything against it, so she took action.
Evelyn took out a [Formation disrupting] stone, a rock with white formation lines engraved into it, gifted to her by Tatyana. Then, she threw it to where she thought the formation's core was. However, Evelyn's eyes had a hidden pain as this stone was extremely precious, and she didn't have many of them. 'I hope it truly is similar to that one, or I will bang my head with tofu until it is swollen. I pray to Heavens- No, I need something more powerful! I pray to Yasenia's Heavenly Tits for it to be like that!'
Leaving aside Evelyn's strange prayer, her worries didn't last, as the rock ignored all the chaotic energies and landed in that spot with precision.
When the red vortex was gaining some stability and the four wolves were already consumed, transforming into particles that created a portal, that rock engraved with white lines created a small white-black explosion that covered half of the ritual circle.
That explosion didn't damage the land or the creatures, but the ritual lines were literally erased.
Like a chain reaction, the energy went completely wild, and as the shape of a terrifying creature began to appear, it wobbled, becoming unstable.
Sierra felt her instincts screaming, so she hastily moved in front of Evelyn, trying to protect her, and asked, "What is happening, Evelyn?"
Evelyn said with a serious tone, "First, tell all the wolves to disperse. This thing may explode."
Sierra didn't doubt her and howled powerfully, creating a visible sound wave.
All the wolves got the order and ran away. After Sierra's show of strength, they had all taken her as the new alpha wolf. The four wounded wolves didn't leave, or it would be better to say that they couldn't.
Their eyes were still lost in madness, and their bodies were swelling more than what would be seen as healthy. Evelyn looked at them with pity, 'They are also going to explode, right? Well, this is your end for following such a strange and shady wolf instead of my beautiful and strong Sierra.'
She didn't delay it anymore and jumped on Sierra's back. Then, they also moved away from that place. Evelyn explained while they ran away. "I didn't want to interfere with your revenge, but things were getting out of control. The thing they were about to summon was an abyssal beast of a similar level to you. Abyssal beasts are corrupt creatures that can even fight with the strongest dragon races, so I didn't want to bet on your safety. Sorry, Sierra."
Sierra reassured Evelyn with a gentle tone, "Don't be sorry. I know you wouldn't do something unless I were in real danger. I've already made what I wanted real, that was, freeing my pack from him, so I'm satisfied."
Evelyn was about to answer when she saw the energy vortex calming down. Evelyn said, "Wait, Sierra. Slow down slightly. I want to see if it really disappears."
Sierra slowed down and also looked back.
The wobbly energy vortex began losing shape and then collapsed on itself, slowly disappearing.
When Evelyn thought that was it, the collapsing energy swelled and exploded violently.
*BOOM!*
The explosion created a black spatial rift, and from it, a claw with tentacles around it appeared. It was terrifyingly big, and the aura it carried was nauseating. Its deformed form scared even the strong-hearted Evelyn and Sierra.
Thankfully, the rift wasn't big enough to let the creature walk inside, but that didn't mean it wouldn't do anything. Those tentacles trapped the four wolves that were regaining their natural form. The four struggling beasts were then devoured as mouths appeared on the deformed claw, creating a bloody carnage of messy, raw eating.
Evelyn's face couldn't help but morph with pure disgust. No matter how trained you were to see death, that sight was still enough to make her want to puke. 'Oh, my heavens. What is that!? I will need a long session of looking at photos of Yasenia's naked tits to cleanse my eyes.'
Before the abyssal creature could do any more mental damage to our two girls, the rift closed and cut off that arm, making the creature release a distorted scream that made their vision dizzy for a second.
Evelyn recovered her gaze and looked speechlessly at that arm that kept moving and jumping even after the rift closed.
Sierra said with some fear in her voice. "Thankfully, you interrupted the summoning of that abomination."
Evelyn said, "Yeah… I didn't know that they were even worse than the drawings I saw in the books."
Evelyn and Sierra then summoned lightning and struck that thing continuously until it stopped moving. Even after it stopped moving, they continued for five more minutes, just in case.
Then, Evelyn kept it in her ring. Sierra was surprised and asked, "Why do you want that?"
Evelyn said honestly, "I don't know, but since I can store it, it should be dead."
Sierra blinked, "Well, whatever."
After all of that, Sierra spent the next hours killing all the wolves that she found problematic. Those included all the wolves from the grey-furred pack, some from the blue-white pack, and even some from her own group.
It was a completely subjective selection based on her judgment, but Evelyn didn't say anything and let her do as she wanted.
Then, Sierra chose an alpha that would not abuse her pack or any other wolf. She placed the rule of strength means everything, and other small ones to help those weak wolves if it doesn't endanger the whole pack.
It wasn't too much work as Sierra's strength coerced them to obey all her commands.
They also committed beast-like atrocities like killing the pups with red markings and forcefully making those female wolves pregnant with their bloodline abort. Evelyn helped this time by providing abortion pills for the beasts.
It was cruel, but Evelyn wasn't going to try to impose human moral values on a wild pack of wolves she would never see again.
