They couldn't escape, though, as they would face the wrath of their pack leader and might even be eaten. The fifth-level direwolf, as if sensing death, bolted away, but Austi, sensitive to the fading killing intent, flickered and appeared a few metres behind it. "Well, even mutts are smart, huh? My space laws are really lacking. Well, I'm a mortal, so this is outstanding enough." He then ran after the escaping mutt, who had his ears folded and his tail between his legs.
As he caught up, the direwolf, knowing its end was fated, stopped and faced him, baring its large fangs as if issuing a challenge. He stopped, unsheathed his sword, and muttered, "I will honor you with my sword intent, since as a beast you chose to go out as a Supreme." He focused all his laws and sword intent on his sword and unsheathed it. The direwolf, although scared, lunged at him as he met the sword.
Moments later, a crater containing bloodstains appeared, and a man with tied-back silver hair and a feminine face, wearing tight-fitting clothes, stood above it as if in deep thought. "So it can wipe out a peak fifth-level magical beast, huh? I wonder about that panther." A few hundred kilometres ahead, in some ruins, a tall figure rose from the ground, as if a large space were concealed below, and uttered, "What a powerful sword law, yes, that is sword law, in this mortal realm, with some unfamiliar laws mixed in, even more powerful than that lunatic. Well, hopefully it's not another high human." He looked in Austin's direction, and after a few moments, as if pondering, decided to mind his business, maybe following his creator's will, and sank below, and it became quiet again.
Austin felt an intense sense of danger for a brief moment before it vanished, but his instincts had never been wrong. "What was that?" he muttered, utterly confused, as this was the first time in his life that his instincts had screamed of impending death only to return to normalcy moments later. "Could it be a slumbering seventh-level magical beast?" He approached the giant's corpse, conjured a flame, and incinerated it. As he turned to leave, he noticed a bone where the giant had lain that had not been burned by his Yang flame—only about one percent of it remained. He was shocked.
