It seemed that dangerous magic was about to be unleashed
“Leo doesn’t seem to be worried, so I’m sure it is fine… But I’m going to go over to her just in case.”
I didn’t know who these people were, but there must be a reason they are moving in the same direction as the fenrirs.
As for the familiar voices, it was a man and a woman.
“Certainly. Lady Claire, please stay with Phillip and the rest of us in the meantime.”
“Very well. While I’m sure we are all safe, I wouldn’t want to get in anyone’s way…”
“I’ll stay with the children.”
“Thank you.”
Claire and Sebastian went to where the guards were.
Alfred went to protect the children, who were playing with the fenrirs.
It was nice how quickly the servants acted during such times. As for Ms. Lyra, she followed me as I walked to Leo.
“…So many fenrirs!? Damn it. I wouldn’t have come so close then! But it can’t be helped. Fire-elemental-explosive-flame-spread-strong…”
“Please stop! Do you mean to burn down the entire forest!?”
The voices continued.
One of them was chanting a spell…?
It seemed like the man was going to attack the fenrirs.
“Leo!”
“Wuff…”
When I arrived, Leo just glanced at me and sighed with a shake of her head.
“It seems like they are going to use some really dangerous magic… But…you don’t look like you’re worried…”
I could still hear him chanting. Judging by the words, it seemed like he wanted a lot of explosive fire that would spread far and wide.
“Wou.”
Leo nodded calmly.
Either she had an idea…or she didn’t see them as a threat at all.
“But…if it spreads…it could put the children in danger…”
“Wuff. Wuff-wuff.”
Even though Leo was calm, I couldn’t help but be worried.
But Leo reassured me and then turned towards the fenrirs.
AWOOOOOOOO!!!!
She howled.
As I was standing so close by, my ears were ringing… And then the fenrirs all moved at once.
They gathered and moved into place as if to protect the children, horses, carriages and other humans.
“Wha-what…!”
The fenrirs must have activated their magic all at once… As I could feel the dense energy around us. And in the next instance, a giant wall of ice appeared in front of them.
“D-did the fenrir…?”
“What a surprise. To be able to make such a large wall of ice in an instant…”
Ms. Lyra was just as stunned by the magic.
“Wou. Wuff-wuff.”
“Huh? A precaution? I see…”
The wall was over ten meters tall, which made it taller than the wall surrounding Ractos. And it extended quite far, nearly connected to the road. And while I couldn’t see how thick it was, it was probably quite thick too.
“Wuff. Wou!”
“Leave it to you? Well, if you say so, Leo…”
“Wuff. …Grau!!”
“Woah!?”
“Kya!?”
Leo nodded and then jumped!
There was a gust of wind, and then Leo was on the other side of the wall of ice.
