Ch 44: The middle stop [pt2]

Sharp fangs tried to rip out Meria's throat, but he was able to block them with his sword. 

It was good that he always kept something sharp with him because this beast had no intention of letting him go.

"A wolf hybrid? These things are not native to our region. And this one looks too fancy and well-kept to be a wild specimen. Did someone smuggle illegal animals into the capital's territory?"

Meria wondered as he got attacked again by the wild beast.

Wolf hybrids were dangerous creatures known to be vicious and famous for not letting go of their prey once they caught them.

This wolf seemed to have caught Meria's scent and recognised him as prey.

'I cannot head back now. Since this wolf is targeting me, it will follow me back to the carriage if I head back. I must kill this wolf hybrid to ensure Emperor Kai's safety.'

Meria suddenly felt nervous because he had left the emperor alone.
