"Heh."


    With a smile, the person raised their hand, pushing back the hood of the ck robe to reveal a slightly sinister face.


    "ck Metal?" Sky Diana''s beautiful eyes narrowed immediately.


    This ck Metal was quite a notorious figure in Veloria City. At the age of fifteen, he killed his own brother topete for family resources, causing widespread gossip throughout the city.


    His ruthless nature made some members of the four major families avoid him whenever they saw him.


    Looking at the figure above, a cold gleam shed in ze Regret''s eyes. "What if I refuse?"


    Upon hearing this, ck Metal chuckled lightly, a mocking expression appearing on his face. "ze Regret, do you really think anyone here cares about your status as the young master of the ze family? If you think you can scare me off with that, I can only say you''re too naive!"


    As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the fire wolf at his feet bent its back slightly before suddenly leaping to the ground, scattering dead branches and leaves everywhere.


    "A ninth level high tier novice ss Rage Fire Wolf?"


    ze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly, "No, it also has a hint of warrior tier aura."


    "p! p!"


    Standing on the branch, ck Metal pped his hands with a smile. "I didn''t expect your strength to be so so, but your perception is decent. Indeed, my Rage Fire Wolf is only one step away from the warrior stage. If you don''t want to die, leave the item and get lost quickly."


    "Heh, just one step away? In reality, it just failed to break through to the warrior tier," Sky Nasrul mocked mercilessly.


    The potential of spirit beasts varies, and those that fail to break through to the next rank often find it significantly harder to seed in future attempts.


    "Do you have a death wish?"


    ck Metal''s face slowly darkened, his voice cold and sinister. "I''ve already given you a chance to live. Since you don''t cherish it, you can all go to hell!"


    "Swish!"


    As soon as ck Metal''s words fell, the Rage Fire Wolf transformed into a streak of fire, charging straight at Sky Nasrul. The leaves it stirred up spiraled around it like a vortex, exuding a faint scorched smell.


    "Wind Element, Whirlwind Dance!"


    Sensing the terrifying speed of the Rage Fire Wolf, sky Nasrul''s heart sank. He quickly summoned the wind elemental from his spirit portal.


    The wind elemental, emerging from the spirit portal, began to spin rapidly, like a whirlwind, and collided heavily with the iing Rage Fire Wolf.


    "Bang!"


    Upon impact, the Rage Fire Wolf''s body was momentarily halted, but the wind elemental was instantly sent flying dozens of meters away. It let out a painful scream as it crashed into the trunk of a giant tree, dissipating significantly.


    Seeing this, Sky Nasrul''s face turned slightly pale. ck Metal''s Rage Fire Wolf had almost reached the warrior tier, far beyond what his wind elemental could contend with!


    "Howl!"


    After sending the wind elemental flying, the Rage Fire Wolf turned and lunged at Sky Nasrul, emitting a foul stench from its mouth.


    "Roar!"


    At that moment, Red finally finished absorbing the spirit crystal of the me Eagle. With a light leap, it rose about three feet off the ground, and with a sweep of its tail, Sky Nasrul was pushed out of harm''s way.


    Sky Nasrul smiled wryly as he retracted the wind elemental back into his spirit portal. He hadn''t expected that what he had once done to ze Regret would soon happen to him. This time, he was the one dragging others down.


    After pushing Sky Nasrul out of the way, Red''s body transformed into a fiery whirlwind. Using the momentum, it dodged the Rage Fire Wolf''s sweeping ws.


    "Bang!"


    After a brief separation, the two spirit beasts shed again, colliding fiercely. The impact sent the fallen leaves in the area flying, creating a sizable vacuum zone.


    Watching the two spirit beasts battle, ck Metal was secretly shocked. His Rage Fire Wolf could easily tear apart a ninth level high tier novice ss spirit beast, but this unassuming little fire Cat could withstand its attacks and not show any signs of weakness!


    With a slight tilt of its head, a few strands of fur on the left side of the Rage Fire Wolf''s face were instantly cut off by Red''s sharp ws. Finally, anger surged in the Rage Fire Wolf''s eyes. It raised its paw, and fiery mes erupted, then it swiped fiercely at Red''s throat.


    Where the wolf''s w passed, even the air seemed to ignite.


    Spirit Technique: Wrath me Strike!


    Red reacted swiftly, countering unceremoniously with a zing w.


    Both were forced to retreat simultaneously. The Rage Fire Wolf opened its mouth, unleashing a beam of fire that carried intense heat. Several leaves, dislodged by the collision''s aftermath, were instantly incinerated to ashes.


    "Roar!"


    With a sharp cat cry, three streams of fire coalesced around Red, rotating rapidly like streaks of light.


    "Bang!"


    Crossing its ws, Red took the brunt of the iing fire beam directly on its Cat paws, which propelled it backward until it crashed into a protruding boulder. Fine cracks immediately appeared on the rock''s surface.


    Shaking its little head to dislodge a few pieces of debris, Red stared indifferently at the Rage Fire Wolf.


    "Spirit Technique: me Breath?"


    Seeing Red''s aura suddenly matching that of the Rage Fire Wolf, ck Metal''s pupils contracted. He finally realized how unrealistic it was to think he could wipe out the entire team by himself.


    In fact, ze Regret and his team were unaware that the previous swarm of Bloodthirsty Bees had been led there by ck Metal to weaken their strength. However, the effect wasn''t as significant as he had hoped.


    "If I had known, I would have joined forces with that guy!"


    A hint of regret shed in ck Metal''s eyes as he shouted to the Rage Fire Wolf, "Come back, we''re leaving!"


    "Isn''t it a bitte to leave now?" ze Regret smiled faintly.
