Defeating the Wolf: False Victory?
Just as the group was starting to get into the rhythm of the battle, getting relaxed as they battled the wolf with their full strength, a change occurred. They had somewhat expected something to occur, after all, this was the final opponent they were going to face in the trial, and for them to defeat it so easily was definitely not something they expected to happen.
In fact, the wolf was much weaker than they expected it to be. It was shifty, fast, and quite sly, but when faced with the overwhelming firepower of Reign and the entire group, it was unable to use any of that to gain an advantage, the only thing it could do was prolong the battle and its suffering.
The change that occurred came suddenly. The wolf's upper body suddenly trembled as a malicious gleam entered its crimson eyes before its energy spiked with a deep, guttural growl while shadows around it coalesced, wrapping tightly around its body, forming what seemed to be an armor made of shadows.
