Bob dashed forward, and Darius dashed towards him. As the wolf swung its paw to attack, Bob's grin turned mocking as he vanished from his position and appeared behind the monster, "Just now you had taken me by surprise. You'll need a hundred wolves to defeat me!"
Jacquelyn leapt into the air to catch him off guard, but Bob used [I Just Glitched] again, swinging his daggers with all his might and cleaving a thick gaze across Darius's fur, spilling blood as the wolf cried in pain. Bob spammed [I Just Glitched], moving through the battlefield at lightning speeds.
Jacquelyn and Darius searched for him with their gaze, but he was fast! Before they knew it, Bob had left numerous thick gashes all over their bodies, inflicting [Burn] and [Bleed] continuously. With the two wolves occupied, Freya and the giant were left alone to duel.
The giant lifted its claymore to the ceiling, but before it slammed it on her head, Freya leapt out of the way and the hammer crashed to the ground. A runic encirclement flashed on the ground for a second, forcing Freya to dash out of its range, then flame erupted from it!
"Interesting." Freya muttered to herself as she landed on the ground, lifting her gaze to the giant and grinning as it charged in her direction. The monster was quadruple her size but it moved fast, a cold gleam in its blood red eyes. Freya dashed towards it, brandishing her daggers.
It swept its claymore, but Freya closed in and used [Light Burst], hurling a dagger and causing it to transforming into a ray of light that pierced through the giant's arm. As the beast screamed in pain from the attack, Freya used [Blood Manipulation], her grin growing.

The monster screamed louder as its blood transformed into spikes inside his arm, and as it grew and he bled from the wounds, it turned sharper! The beast roared in anger, then tore its arm off and focused its maddened gaze on Freya. It charged forward, waving its claymore.

"Is this really the monster that beat Aquarius?" Freya mocked as the monster waved its claymore around like a madman, but she weaved through the blade's range. As Freya finessed the monster, she prepared for a charge-burst attack, "I'll have to finish you off quickly—!"
Just as she initiated her charge, the monster that look mad, pained and confused — grinned. Her pupils narrowed down to needlepoint as it dashed forward to counter her charge, as she retreated, it swung it's claymore from the side, forcing her to side step and retreat to the— Fuck!
The giant's right arm, regrown in an instant, smashed into Freya and sent her flying. A stunned expression formed on Freya's face as the image of the former shadow emissary flashed before her eyes, and they attained a fierce glow, her fangs gleaming, "How dare you, imbecile?!"

Freya rolled across the ground, slowing to a halt. She stood to her feet, meeting face to face with the punch of the monster, but this time she was prepared. Freya tilted to the side, dodging the punch then dashing in, burying her dagger in its wrist and dragging it along as she closed in.

The giant did not withdraw its hand, and Freya snickered in her heart. She leaped to the side and its claymore landed on the ground, right at the position she would've rushed into. Seeing this, Freya was sure of it, "This monster has a high level of intelligence, and a Level 250? Interesting."
Bob glanced at Freya, then at Darius and Jacquelyn. They charged at him, their wounds healing, but as Darius leapt into the air with its maws opened wide, a bolt of white and blue attacked it! The wolves Demetrius and Darius rolled over t the side, fighting furiously.
Jacquelyn continued rushing on, but Bob raised his hand and aimed at her. As she leapt forward with her maws opened wide, she shrunk from a massive wolf into a small puppy and it all happened in an instant. Bob grinned as the wolf fell to the ground before him, stunned.

"I wanted your XP in the beginning, but after some thought…" Bob held his chin, then walked to Jacquelyn who struggled to run away, only to be stopped in its tracks as Bob stomped on its tail, his smile turning cruel, "I decided to make you understand what your purpose is here."
He reached out his hand and grabbed its head, exerting as little force he could to cause pain but not squash the head like a tomato. The wolf struggled fiercely, but Bob had restrained it tight, a cold gleam in his eyes as the system notification arrived,

"I should have done this from the start." Bob glared upon Jacquelyn, calm as the wolf stopped its fruitless struggling. He picked Jacquelyn in his hands, standing to his feet and glancing around calmly with his brows knitted, "Demetrius be careful. I need them for my plans."
Demetrius slapped Darius into the ceiling, and as the wolf's blood rained down, Demetrius leapt into the air and headbutted it. They landed to the ground a second later, and the Demonic Alpha was calm staring down upon Darius, then continuing its assault.
Demetrius smacked the Demon Lord Darius across the room in an explosion of blue flames from its paws, then chased it and smacked again with an even stronger force, sending the wolf rolling in its blood until it crashed into the feet of the giant who was in a heated battle with Freya.
The giant kicked Darius away, blocking Freya's dagger assault with its claymore. Demetrius stood as Darius flew across the room, then landed on the ground metres away, Bob standing before it with a cruel smile on his face, using his developer's hax of devolution on it, "I hate traitors."

"If only you'd been a bit more obedient like Aquarius, then you might have kept your free will." A wicked gleam formed in his gaze as Bob grabbed Darius's head, using the petting system to force the wolf into submission, "Now, let me remind you. I will throw you to the enemy, and you will fight."
