The four demon beasts launched themselves at Asher together, trying to take down the giant wolf but failing miserably.
As for the fifth beast from the original group, it hadn't moved from the little girl's side. It was guarding her. And no, it wasn't protecting her. It was protecting its meal.
Aurora's eyes narrowed as she realized she had to take down the beast first if she needed to bring the child away. Unfortunately, she only had claw knives as weapons.
She took out one from the inventory. It wasn't ideal either for the situation or the opponent she's about to face, not even close. Still, it would have to do.
She moved and the demon beast immediately noticed. Its crimson eyes locked onto her right before it charged at her. Fast. It was far faster than its bulky appearance suggested.
Aurora dove sideways and the creature slammed into the ground where she had been second ago, causing dirt to explode upward. The impact alone told her everything she needed to know.
