Seeing John coming towards it, the Wolf quickly crawled backwards with a desperate expression on its face.
The cavern in which the battle had unfolded boasted multiple entrances, and the Dark Wolf was retreating towards one such opening.
They were quite unfamiliar with the layout of the Abandoned Silver Mines, unlike this Dark Wolf. If it somehow escaped to that entrance, it was highly possible that they would have trouble finding it again.
Such an outcome would also grant the other teams, who had not yet arrived, a chance to slay this injured beast.
Maria noted this development and, to prevent the Dark Wolf from fleeing, swiftly obstructed its path to the exit. She then launched herself skyward, a massive hammer gripped firmly in her petite hands.
The giant hammer looked very out of place in the hands of a petite girl like Maria, but the truth is, it was the weapon that Maria was most compatible with.
