The crackling of Lightning filled the air as the Dire Wolf Alpha shook out its deep silver fur and growled at Wolfe. It had anticipated that he might dodge, but the stabbing pain of the spell was not in its calculations.
Magical Beasts couldn't channel mana as easily as Wolfe could, but their natural resistance more than made up for the lack in most situations. This one in particular, where the magic imbued in the creature's fur was enough to stop the low-powered Lightning spell inscribed on Wolfe's sword and completely block his attack without so much as a severed strand of hair.
Wolfe heard the howling behind him as the Dire Wolves hit the barrier and felt the tug on his mana flow to keep the barrier at full capacity, but he didn't smell singed fur yet, so there was a chance that they didn't take any serious damage from the impact.
