The wolves howled in anger after seeing their leader dead.
They smelled their surroundings for a while before catching Lucas, Casey and Lucy's scent.
The wolves howled and they gave chase.
...…
The trio ran a fast as they could.
Casey was at the front thanks to her talent skill, Lucas was second only a little behind her because of his strong physical body and daily training, and lucy was at the back because she couldn't keep up with their pace.
She focused more on mana training and control, so she can use her elements better.
In conclusion, she is a mage with zero physical capabilities.
She tried to catch up with me them but she couldn't.
"Tch, I wish I had awakened my wind element ". She said to herself.
Lucas saw that she was having a hard time catching up so he carried her.
His speed did not reduce even with Lucy on his back.
Casey activated her sensitive hears while she was running.
" They are coming!! ". She said in panick.
"How many are they? ". Lucas asked.
" At least fifteen ". She replied.
After she said that, the expression of the duo turned grave.
After a while they heard the sound of multiple footsteps and deep growls coming towards them.
"They are coming!! ".
" Don't worry, if things gets out of hand we can just fight them.
They can't be stronger than their alpha so It will not be hard to escape "she reassured.
"They should be at the F- or initial F rank ". She said.
"Yes, but having multiple F and F- rank wolves chase us isn't a good thing". Lucas said.
"Is it only me or has the footsteps reduced". Lucy said while looking back.
Lucas and Casey paused and turned around. They concentrated for a while and realized that Lucy was right.
" Have they maybe given up? ". Casey asked doubtfully.
"No, wolves are vengeful creatures. Since we killed their alpha they will surely try to avenge it". Lucas said and then he turned to Casey "Casey can you use your ears to see where they are going?".
"Yeah, I can try". She replied and then she closed her eyes and concentrated her energy in her ears.
While Casey did that Lucy came down from Lucas's back she asked.
"Why did you ask if she could see where they were going with her ears instead of their eyes ?".
Lucas gave her a warm smile and he said "When she uses her super earring, she sees a virtual image in her head. Anything she ears appears, whether the wind, the birds, the ground, and another thing ".
"Oh really!! "she said in shock.
"Doesn't that mean that she doesn't need her eyes if she has her ears ".
" Yes, but it's not efficient. Even if echolocation is good it's not flawless. ".
"I don't understand ".
" She can't see things like colour and beauty using echolocation ".
"So she won't he able to see the color of magical beast like the horn of a horned wolf "
" Exactly ".
"Oh no!!, this is bad ". They heard a panicked voice.
" What's it?" the duo asked in unison as they stared at Casey.
"They followed a short cut. They will appear in front of us soon ". She said.
"If what you say is true then we need to fight the ones chasing us. I have a feeling the ones at the front is stronger than the ones chasing us ". Lucas said.
