Chapter 11: The Emergence of a New Enemy

Ares stood on guard, staring at the mysterious figure who was clapping slowly. There was something unsettling about his presence—something that made him feel different from anyone Ares had encountered so far.

Mysterious Figure (with a cold smile): "Don't worry, I won't attack you… yet."

Ares didn't relax at his words, but he wasn't foolish enough to act recklessly either. Instead, he remained in a defensive stance, carefully observing the man's movements.

Ares: "Who are you? And what do you want?"

The man chuckled quietly before stepping forward, causing Ares to tighten his grip on his weapon.

Mysterious Figure: "My name isn't important right now, but you'll hear it very soon… As for what I want?"

He paused for a moment before raising his hand. Suddenly, multiple shadows moved among the surrounding trees. Ares was no longer alone—he was surrounded.

Ares (surprised): "Soldiers? No… They're not human."

As the creatures emerged into the light, Ares realized he was facing beasts unlike any he had seen before. They were tall, with sharp fangs and glowing eyes—resembling wolves, yet walking on two legs like men.

Mysterious Figure (with a smirk): "Let's see how you handle these."

Before Ares could react, the beasts lunged at him with incredible speed!
