Ikky concentrated his will on doing something similar to what the wolves had done with the ice, and as he himself had done or thought he had done with the hidden wall in the salamander cave. He thinned the rock in the center and accumulated his mass at the edges.
When an opening was created large enough for him to cross without having to remove my shield and armor, he entered the tunnel while watching the wolves retreat to an even greater distance.
It was true that they feared the ogre, and that they did not intend to risk their lives to help the "biped" as they called Ikky and his people.
Whatever was inside, the wolves not only could not enter, but they feared it, that was clear to him, surely in all those years they had already tried when the Ogre came out, and it seemed that the result of the fight had not been very favorable to them.
