Giant Wolf

Several years later.

In a desolate Small Realm.

A giant serpent hundreds of meters long was twisting its way swiftly up a tall, barren mountain.

Just as the giant serpent was about to reach the summit.

A voice suddenly rang out from atop that bare mountain.

"What have you come for?"

As those words emerged.

A giant wolf dozens of meters long, its fur black as ink, silently and gradually appeared upon the mountaintop.

As though he had been standing there all along.

Only becoming observable once he chose to speak!

At that moment.

The once utterly desolate Realm displayed some strange reactions as well.

A thick, pungent stench of blood inexplicably filled the air, as if countless corpses lay strewn across this place and endless blood flowed freely through it.

Beneath those scarlet wolf eyes.

Every creature he gazed upon would instinctively tremble.

This was the authority over slaughter within the World Tree system!

Yet the giant serpent, as the object of his gaze, showed no abnormality in either body or mind.

He simply did not care in the slightest about the meager power the other party radiated!

Only after slowly crawling onto the summit did he open his great maw and, meeting the other's gaze, say unhurriedly:

"The time is nearly here. Twilight of the Gods is approaching, and we are about to obtain true freedom..."

At that.

The giant wolf's brow unconsciously furrowed slightly.

"Is that so... It seems that the Black Dragon called Nidhogg and the Demon called Orsaga can no longer wait..."

Very quickly.

A fierce grin, wholly undisguised, appeared on his wolfish face.

"Perfect. I can no longer wait either..."

As one of the strongest Lifeforms birthed by the World Tree.

Though he and Koma possessed matchless power.

Far stronger than any other life-form.
