"We appreciate your kindness, boy. But it would be best for you to get away from here right now, let the
three of us block off these ice wolves. Once you've escaped, go save our brother, Braden,"
Cayden said to Austin.
"Please, trust me. Can't you see they're afraid of my sacred fire?
Plus, I'm faster than all of you. Let me deal with them. I'm almost certain I'll be able to break free of
their swarming. Don't worry. Leave this to me. I'll be fine,"
Austin responded confidently.
He trusted his Illusion Skill of Reincarnation and sacred fire to get him out of this hairy situation. He
also still had some teleportation runes he'd gotten from Pastor. He was not afraid of being trapped in
their encirclement.
"Trust me, please. Don't waste any more time or soon there'll be more ice wolves here than even I can
escape!"
Austin said anxiously, almost yelling at them.
"Huh?"
Anakin, Cayden and the water source beast were taken aback by his determination.
They felt he wasn't lying, and somehow he really was capable of doing this.
"Are you sure? Can you really escape these ice wolves?"
asked Anakin after a moment's hesitation.
"Of course.
Now quit stalling and go!
Run! Quick!
Hurry or we're all going to die here!"
Austin was getting impatient now.
"All right, I believe you. We'll go.
But if you can't hold on, we'll come back!"
Anakin replied through a clenched jaw after thinking it over.
"I trust you. But if you can't get out, tell us and we'll be right back, immediately, to save you!"
Cayden added hesitantly.
"Young man, do you seriously think you can do this?"
The water source beast still could not get himself to believe him.
"Well, let's go then!
Trust in Austin for the time being!"
Anakin did not hesitate any longer and ran off with Cayden in tow.
The water source beast waited a moment longer before joining the brothers in fleeing.
Of course, the ice wolves did not let them off that easy. They rushed at them madly, clawing and biting
more fiercely than before.
Austin noticed the attack and pointed his finger towards them. A large amount of sacred fire condensed
and formed several fire walls that appeared one after another. The walls materialized behind his
companions and shielded them, not allowing the wolves to get close.
In this way, both brothers and the water source beast swiftly rushed out of the trap they were in,
running forward and not stopping even to look back.
In the blink of an eye, they were far off into the distance.
When the ice wolves found it impossible to get at them, they turned and set their sights on Austin.
Soon, hundreds of thousands of ice wolves had gathered around Austin, staring at him menacingly.
They were packed densely together, a spectacle that would make anyone's hairs stand on end.
Austin appeared to be drowning in a black sea.
More terrifyingly, there were still more wolves on the way.
"As individuals they're not tough to take on. If I can fight them one at a time, I'll be able to kill them quite
easily. But there are too many.
Ordinary gods of chaos, and even the nine leaders of the Time Chamber Sect might not be able to deal
with such a massive pack of ice wolves!"
Austin frowned and sighed at the unending stretch of growling beasts that laid before him.
'For now I just need to buy some time for the others to get away.
These creatures are too fast. If I break through their siege now, they might catch up to the others
before long,'
Austin thought to himself.
He summoned a large amount of sacred fire, condensing them into more walls of fire, blocking his body
from attack.
At the same time, he used all kinds of secret cultivation methods he had practiced to strike out at the
surrounding wolves.
The sacred fire's power was so incredible that it burnt one ice wolf after another to ashes.
But there were still too many, and they were not afraid of death either, pouncing desperately over and
over again.
Numerous wolves rushed in every moment, trying to devour Austin.
He was giving it all he had to fight back against these ferocious beasts.
He was only barely holding on at first, and as their numbers increased, Austin began to feel unable to
hold them off.
Their numbers were terrifying and their attacks were deadly as well. Taking them on was proving
tremendously difficult.
He had killed a lot of ice wolves, but he could not kill them all.
Suddenly,
Austin heard several loud roars from afar.
He felt an overwhelming energy coming from all directions, pushing him back, almost to the ground. He
found himself unable to get back to his feet and stand up straight again.
He turned his head rapidly to see what was going on.
In front of him, he saw a gigantic ice wolf trudging towards him.
It was much taller than all the others, with an aura much stronger as well.
All the other ice wolves stared at it in awe, as if worshiping it.
It was quite clear this was their leader.
"Damn it!
This appears to be the ice wolf king!"
Just the thought of it shocked Austin.
The wolf king's aura was so powerful that he knew he could not contend with it.
Every wolf pack had a leader; their wolf king.
This leader was naturally much stronger than the rest.
All other wolves had to obey it.
When Austin saw it, he knew he had to run as soon as possible.
If the ice wolf king got to him, things would get out of control and he'd be done for.
Without hesitation, Austin condensed all the sacred fire around him into an enormous moat of fire.
He manipulated it to attack in front of him.
The wolves were all forced to retreat in the face of the blazing fire.
The force in front of him decreased sharply.
Austin then used the Illusion Skill of Reincarnation and rushed ahead.
With his current strength, the Illusion Skill of Reincarnation was now much faster than before.
He broke through the siege in a flash, charging forward at lightning speed.
Seeing him suddenly break out, the ice wolves around him erupted into a rage and chased after him
desperately.
