The wolf shot forward with incredible speed.
Just as expected, it was faster than all of them.
The wolf almost immediately reached them, and Kyle gathered Meteor Energy on his hammer as Swamp Dragon released several arrows.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
As soon as the arrows reached the wolf, the arcing bolts of lightning shot them down, negating their forward momentum.
Sure enough, the wolf countered Swamp Dragon's attacks, but his attacks were not useless.
Every time the wolf released bolts of lightning, the Energy inside its Beast Core reduced, and beasts did not have as much Energy as humans.
Kyle readied his hammer to strike, and the wolf looked at him for a moment.
BANG!
More lightning exploded out of the wolf as it sped up again.
Surprisingly, it didn't confront Kyle.
Instead, it ran past him and charged right towards Warp Space.
Swamp Dragon ran after it and launched more arrows, which were struck down by its lightning.
Kyle also tried following the wolf, but he was too slow.
The wolf rapidly approached Warp Space.
At that moment, Warp Space lifted her staff, and the space between them expanded.
She flew towards Swamp Dragon, but despite the expanded space, the wolf rapidly closed the distance.
That was when Warp Space increased the gravity below the wolf while lowering her own gravity.
Her Energy was dropping rapidly, but the wolf was still keeping up with her.
Just as the wolf reached her, Warp Space reached Swamp Dragon, who quickly jumped in front of her.
Swamp Dragon unleashed a storm of arrows, which all flew towards the wolf's head.
That was when the wolf opened its maw, and a concentrated stream of lightning swallowed the arrows.
The arrows were all pushed back, making them useless, while the storm of lightning approached Swamp Dragon and Warp Space.
Space around the storm of lightning expanded, and Swamp Dragon shot forward.
There were still several individual bolts of lightning, but Swamp Dragon skillfully weaved through them.
Swamp Dragon's eyes widened as the wolf suddenly burst through the storm of lightning, and a maw made of lightning shot out of its mouth.
The maw surrounded Swamp Dragon.
Warp Space sped up Swamp Dragon's time so that he could run through it.
Swamp Dragon passed through the maw with surprising ease.
From some distance behind Warp Space, Kyle narrowed his eyes. This was bad!
The reason it was so easy for Swamp Dragon to pass through the lightning maw was that he had never been the target.
The maw directly shot towards Warp Space, while the wolf's actual maw rapidly approached Swamp Dragon.
Swamp Dragon narrowed his eyes.
The wolf was too fast.
If he moved back, he would end up right between his teeth.
Even more, Warp Space was too busy dealing with the lightning maw.
Warp Space was compressing space inside the lightning maw, but the wolf was just sending more Energy to his attack, making it even bigger.
Swamp Dragon's body moved on its own.
BANG!
The wolf's mouth closed around Swamp Dragon.
Swamp Dragon had moved forward instead of backward, entering the wolf's mouth.
Meanwhile, Warp Space's eyes widened in horror.
She was throwing more and more things at the lightning maw, but it retained its shape very well.
She was moving back with all of her speed, but the lightning maw just kept approaching.
Her mind was going wild, trying to somehow come up with a solution.
She had to comprehend her Complex Law now!
Otherwise, she would die.
The lightning maw approached.
It reached her.
At that moment, her surroundings warped.
Gravity, space, and time were thrown into disorder.
The maw distorted, but…
It retained its shape.
Warp Space's mind stopped.
Just now, she had used her new Complex Law, but…
It didn't work correctly!
There was only one thought in her mind at this moment.
'I made a mistake!'
Her Complex Law had tried to take shape, but somewhere along the way, she had combined the Fragments in an incorrect manner.
It didn't work!
She had failed.
The lightning maw reached her and chomped down.
CRACK!
Kyle appeared in front of Warp Space, and his hammer struck the maw.
All the energy of the lightning maw entered Kyle's body under Warp Space's terrified expression.
BANG!
Huge chunks of Kyle's body exploded into ash as his entire body seized.
The dense Lightning Energy was rampaging through his body.
This was the perfect moment for the wolf to strike since Kyle couldn't move.
Yet, it just remained standing in the distance.
At this moment, Swamp Dragon was firing several arrows from inside the wolf's maw.
However, the wolf was refusing to open its mouth to let him out.
Its maw was tearing Swamp Dragon apart, consuming his Energy, which was directly used to heal the wolf's injured mouth. Swamp Dragon had already dropped the entire vial of poison into the maw, but it was not dense or potent enough to give the wolf a debilitating injury.
And if Swamp Dragon dispersed his Infused Law, he would immediately turn into Energy.
The only reason why he hadn't died yet to the forces in the beast's maw was his Infused Complex Law.
Sadly, his unfinished Complex Law didn't have all the aspects of Swamp Dragon's toxin yet.
As Swamp Dragon's body was rapidly deteriorating, his mind also went wild.
He had to finish his Complex Law!
If his body received his toxic properties, the wolf would be forced to spit him out!
Swamp Dragon gritted his teeth.
His body changed.
The wolf became nervous as it felt the Energy inside its maw changing.
CRACK!
At that moment, Swamp Dragon cut his arm off and threw it into the wolf's maw.
Then, Swamp Dragon's world became chaotic.
The wolf had spit him out, and the arm Swamp Dragon had thrown forward had also been spat out.
Kyle's body finally stopped seizing uncontrollably, and he saw Swamp Dragon.
At this moment, Swamp Dragon's hair had become long and green, while several parts of his skin had sprouted green scales.
It was clear.
While Warp Space had failed, Swamp Dragon had succeeded.
Swamp Dragon looked at the distant wolf as corrosive and toxic dust gathered around his body.
The wolf was still extremely dangerous, but right now…
Swamp Dragon didn't feel like killing it on his own was impossible.
