The fire that Erend released was like waves in the ocean that swept the land.
The Lycans simultaneously released cold auras from their bodies.
Their fur instantly froze and let out snowflakes. Their cold auras coalesced and formed a protective barrier.
Erend's flames hit the cold barrier issued by the Lycans and immediately stopped.
Because the Lycans were running while continuously creating their cold barrier, Erend's flames were pushed back toward him.
Erend didn't expect that to happen. Seeing the cold aura that came out of the bodies of the creatures who called themselves Lycans confirmed that they really could use Magic.
Every time, Erend felt that he could always find something new in this world. Although the things he already found are still quite amazing, new things that are more extraordinary appear again.
'I don't think I need to waste any more time.'
Erend had come to a conclusion. He didn't want to waste any more time as the Lycans obviously didn't want to say anything more.
Either the reason they attacked or their origins.

*ZWOOOOSSSHHH!*
The red light that dazzles the eyes and the waves of heat that spread always initiate Erend's transformation into a Dragon.
The Lycans stopped where they were. Their charge which was previously full of ferocity and fury suddenly stopped upon seeing what was before their eyes.
All the Wolves widened their eyes even as the red light shone dazzlingly.
The heat wave was not a problem for them as they were still being protected by that cold aura.
But the sight before them was not something they ever see.
The pack of Lycans had sensed from the start that a huge disturbing force had appeared here.
That was the reason why they immediately attacked Erend as soon as he emerged from the Portal.
The Lycans feel that this power is an ancient and foreign power. But they didn't think that it turned out to be a power like this.
"A Dragon..." the black-furred Lycan muttered in awe as he looked up. The red light that was slowly fading was reflected in his eyes.
When the red light and heat wave disappeared completely, Dragon-Erend's towering form with both shoulders covered in blazing flames appeared.
His red and black scales glistened under the sun and gave off hot steam that the Lycans could feel very clearly.
Dragon-Erend's eyes looked down at the Lycans. Now, the Lycans saw a real terror before their eyes.
Dragon-Erend charged toward them with killing intent. He swept his claws out with incredible speed despite his gigantic size.
The Lycans immediately scatter. Their well-trained fighting senses allow them to react quickly.
In the end, Dragon-Erend's claws merely graze the ground they previously stepped on, leaving long and deep claw marks.
The black-fur Lycan echoed his howl again. The Lycans were immediately greeted with the same howl. The howls they released seemed to echo the call to attack.
Instantly, their bloodlust overpowered the fear and awe they had felt moments before.
The pack of Lycan wolves ran together toward Dragon-Erend.
Dragon-Erend rushed towards them and then swept its huge claws. But apparently, those Lycans have become very agile.
Dragon-Erend noticed that a Lycan was climbing up his leg. So he let out hot steam from the pores of his skin.
*ZSSSSSHHH!*
The hot steam blew the blue-furred Lycan away. He fell to the ground with scorched fur.
Dragon-Erend didn't stop attacking. He lunged at the rest of the Lycans and then shot flames out of his mouth.
*ZWOOOOSSSHHH!*
The fire is so huge, it seemed to paint nature in the color yellow and red.
Trees and plants around the area of ??the flames withered and blackened. The ground was burnt black instantly.
Some of the Lycans caught in the huge burst of flames were burned. Their colorful fur makes great fuel for the fire.
There were three Lycans whose bodies were burned but still alive. If the ones hit by Dragon-Erend's flames were normal wolves, they would be instantly burned to ashes.
But since they were Lycans, their cold Magic had kept out a fraction of the heat of the flames.
Unfortunately, all their Magic could withstand was only a fraction. In the end, they still burn.
Worse, they were burned alive and must experience excruciating pain.
The power of fire when Erend was still in human form and when he had turned into a Dragon was of course different.
Screams that sounded akin to a dog in pain rang out from the three Lycans.
The Lycans who were near them immediately approached. However, they couldn't do anything to the fire spewed from a Dragon's mouth.
The black Lycan growl while laying down its teeth. Saliva flowed from behind its teeth. And tears started flowing from its eyes.
The black Lycan cast its gaze towards Dragon-Erend. In its eyes was a clear sign of rage and vengeance because Dragon-Erend had made its pack members like that.
Dragon-Erend returned the black Lycan's gaze. However, that vengeful gaze did not affect Dragon-Erend.
Instead, he rushed towards the black Lycan. At this moment, it was clear who was the leader of the pack of Lycans.
Dragon-Erend flapped his wings. The thrust of the flapping wings made him shoot toward the black Lycan with incredible speed.
*WUUUSSSSHHH!*
In the blink of an eye, Dragon-Erend was right in front of the black Lycan's eyes. He swept his claws vigorously.
*CRAAAT!*
The black Lycan who was unprepared for that speed was hit by Dragon-Erend's claws and was thrown several meters into the air.
