Chapter 197: Nix’s Wing Severed in Battle
But just as the attack was about to reach its target, the Light Reaper Wolf intervened.

The golden shimmer around its body intensified as it activated its [Luminous Barrier] skill, forming a radiant dome of light that nullified Nix’s attack on impact. The ice dissipated harmlessly, leaving the Dark Reaper Wolf completely unscathed.

“Tch.” Cain clicked his tongue in annoyance as he watched the wolves’ teamwork unfold. “Their coordination is on another level. Nix and Little White need to adapt quickly.”

Nix dove downward, landing beside Little White, who shook off the pain and stood his ground. The wounds on his side slowly mended as his [Lunar Regeneration] skill kicked in, but the damage was done since his movements had already been hindered.

The two Reaper Wolves circled them like predators toying with their prey, their eyes gleaming with intelligence.

Little White let out a sharp growl, his silver fur bristling. “They’re too fast. Their movements are synchronized too. We need to break their coordination.”

Nix nodded as his icy breath formed mist in the warm air. “Then let’s separate them.”

With a powerful beat of his wings, Nix charged forward, targeting the Light Reaper Wolf. Little White mirrored his movement, dashing toward the Dark Reaper Wolf at full speed. The plan was simple, forcing them into separate fights where their teamwork wouldn’t be as effective.

The Reaper Wolves responded instantly, but for the first time, there was a slight hesitation. Their bodies tensed as they realized the shift in strategy. And in that moment of hesitation, Nix attacked.

Utilizing his [Ice Claw] skill, his claws gleamed with frozen energy as he swiped at the Light Reaper Wolf. This time, the barrier didn’t form fast enough, and the attack landed as it gouged deep into its side. The beast let out a snarl of pain as its golden eyes flashed with fury.

On the other hand, Little White activated his [Lunar Slash] skill, and a crescent-shaped blade of pure moonlight erupted from his claws. The Dark Reaper Wolf, reacting at the last second, melted into the shadows using [Phantom Step], narrowly evading the attack.

The battle escalated into a blur of furious exchanges. Nix and the Light Reaper Wolf clashed repeatedly, his icy assaults countered by dazzling bursts of light. On the other side, Little White weaved through the battlefield, dodging shadowy strikes while retaliating with precise slashes.

But even as they fought to break their opponents’ coordination, the difference in experience became glaringly clear. The Reaper Wolves weren’t just strong as they were seasoned fighters.

The moment the wolves sensed the shift in their strategy, they adapted.

The Dark Reaper Wolf suddenly disengaged from Little White, vanishing into the ground as if melting into the shadows. Before Nix could react, the beast re-emerged directly beneath him, lunging upward with a devastating bite.

Nix barely managed to twist his body midair, but the Dark Reaper Wolf’s fangs still scraped against his wing, leaving behind jagged gashes. The pain momentarily disrupted his flight, forcing him to land heavily on the ground.

At the same time, the Light Reaper Wolf capitalized on the opening and released a blinding pulse of energy from its body as it used its [Solar Eruption] skill.

A violent explosion of light engulfed the area, forcing both Nix and Little White to shield their eyes as searing heat washed over them. The attack didn’t just blind them as it left them momentarily vulnerable.

That was all the Reaper Wolves needed.

The Dark Reaper Wolf reappeared behind Nix and struck with its [Shadow Rend] skill, its claws coated in pure darkness as they tore through his Frost Armor, leaving deep wounds along his side.

As he was still recovering from the light burst, Little White barely had time to react before the Light Reaper Wolf descended upon him with its [Luminous Fang] skill. The golden jaws clamped down on his shoulder, puncturing deep into his flesh.

A howl of agony echoed through the forest as blood splattered across the ground.

Cain’s eyes narrowed as he observed the battle. “This is bad.”

Nix and Little White panted heavily, their bodies riddled with fresh wounds. Their opponents were relentless, and their perfectly coordinated attacks left little room for counterplay.

The Reaper Wolves prowled forward, their crimson and golden eyes glowing with cold, predatory amusement. They knew they had the upper hand.

And for the first time since the battle began, Nix and Little White felt the weight of true desperation settling in.

The battle had drained a significant portion of his stamina, and despite his overwhelming endurance, he could feel his movements becoming sluggish.

Little White stood beside him, blood dripping from a wound near his ribs, his silver fur stained crimson. The coordination of their enemies was unlike the lions they had faced before, and the difference in teamwork was beginning to show its effects.

They were wolves bred for assassination, their skills honed to perfection. Unlike the Rockfang and Woodfang Lions, who had relied on brute force and elemental skills, these two were precise, calculated, and deadly.

Little White lunged forward first, aiming for the Dark Reaper Wolf, but the beast moved with blinding speed, sidestepping at the last moment before slamming its claws into his side.

A pained yelp tore from Little White’s throat as he tumbled backward, rolling across the dirt. Before he could regain his footing, the Light Reaper Wolf struck as a blinding arc of white energy flashed through the air with its [Judgment Fang] skill, landing directly on Little White’s already wounded body. The impact sent him crashing into a nearby tree, coughing up blood.

“Little White!” Nix roared, his icy aura flaring to life as he activated his [Frost Armor] skill. His body was coated in layers of thick, crystalline ice, a defensive measure against the wolves’ lethal strikes.

Without hesitation, he unleashed his [Ice Breath] skill, and an enormous beam of freezing energy surged toward the Light Reaper Wolf.

However, the Dark Reaper Wolf appeared in front of its partner just in time, its body flickering into the shadows before vanishing completely. A fraction of a second later, it reappeared right beside Nix, its fangs sinking deep into the dragon’s left wing.

Agonizing pain shot through Nix’s body as he thrashed violently, but the wolf refused to let go. Instead, it used its technique that corroded and shredded whatever it latched onto.

Nix let out a bellowing roar as the corruption spread, blackened wounds appearing across his wing.

Despite his injuries, Little White pushed himself up. His silver eyes burned with determination as he tapped into his [Lunar Regeneration] skill, rapidly healing some of his wounds.

He then charged at the Light Reaper Wolf once more, his movements now faster thanks to his [Moonlight Empowerment] skill. The Light Reaper Wolf met his advance with its [Radiant Strike] skill, the two attacks colliding in a spectacular explosion of light and energy, sending shockwaves through the battlefield.

As Little White kept the Light Reaper Wolf occupied, Nix twisted his body violently, slamming his tail into the Dark Reaper Wolf with all his strength. The beast was sent hurtling backward, skidding across the forest floor, but it quickly regained its footing.

Nix took the opportunity to create distance, his wing still partially disabled from the previous attack. Gritting his teeth, he poured energy into his [Mirror Ice] skill, creating a reflective wall of ice in front of him to deter further magic-based attacks.

However, the wolves had anticipated this. The Light Reaper Wolf suddenly disengaged from Little White, dashing toward Nix at an incredible speed.

Its entire body glowed as it activated its [Luminous Dash] skill, an ability that granted it temporary intangibility. Passing right through the [Mirror Ice] barrier as if it were air, it reappeared directly in front of Nix.

Before Nix could react, the wolf launched a devastating attack as it used its [Celestial Cleave] skill. A massive crescent of radiant energy slashed across Nix’s torso, cutting through his defenses like paper.

Blood sprayed into the air as Nix staggered backward as he barely managed to remain on his feet.

“Damn it!” Nix growled in frustration as his vision blurred from the pain.

The Dark Reaper Wolf seized the moment of weakness, vanishing once more before reappearing right beneath Nix. It leaped upward, its claws wreathed in dark energy as it activated its [Abyssal Rend] skill.

The strike was aimed directly at Nix’s wing joint, a calculated move to utterly cripple him. Nix barely managed to block with his claws, but the force of the assault knocked him back.

Little White saw Nix struggling and desperately attempted to rush to his aid, but the Light Reaper Wolf blocked his path as its golden eyes glowed with merciless intent.

“Nix!” Little White called out, but before he could reach his partner, the Light Reaper Wolf delivered a savage blow, its claws sinking deep into his shoulder.

At that moment, the Dark Reaper Wolf reappeared in the air, descending upon Nix like a shadow of death. This time, there was no escape.

With an ear-splitting crack, the Dark Reaper Wolf’s claws sliced through Nix’s wing, severing half of it completely.

A deafening roar of pain echoed through the battlefield as blood sprayed into the air like a crimson mist. Nix’s body crashed into the ground with a thunderous impact, sending debris flying in all directions.

The agony was indescribable as half of his wing was gone, and his ability to take flight had been completely stripped away. He gasped for breath as he struggled to move, but the pain was overwhelming.
