Meanwhile, in the training grounds...
Princess Scarlett Leon swung her enormous broadsword with both hands, the weapon cutting through the air with enough force to produce a sharp whistling sound before crashing heavily against a pair of black claws.
The collision unleashed a violent shockwave that blasted dust outward in every direction while sparks scattered across the battlefield.
Standing opposite her was a gigantic wolf nearly three meters tall, its pitch-black fur crackling with streaks of dark lightning.
Neither side showed the slightest intention of holding back.
The wolf lunged forward once more, its massive paws crushing the earth beneath it as black lightning erupted around its body.
Scarlett narrowed her eyes and immediately stepped into the attack rather than retreating.
Her armored boots dug deeply into the ground while her sword swept upward in a brutal arc aimed directly at the beast's throat.
