"Doctor, just focus on driving the carriage."
As Dorothy spoke, she had already pushed open the wooden crate's lid, grabbed a handful of refined salt, and carefully scattered it across the huge Saint Byron's School Badge symbol on the black coffin's surface despite the jolting carriage.
At the same time, more than a dozen black wolves burst from that strange forest that did not seem to belong to the real world and began pursuing the carriage. They were no ordinary beasts. Aside from their enormous bodies and uneven crystalline spikes along their backs, they were actually running through the air, nearly blending into the shadows.
As long as they did not make too much noise, Tobesk could not see any changes to the carriage while the spatial displacement remained in effect. Therefore, Shade confidently prepared to cast a spell. At the same time, the "Match Girl" summoned by Dorothy while scattering salt appeared beside him with a basket in hand.
The barefoot little girl in a headscarf bowed to Shade. Then she took out a match, held it before her mouth, and gave it a gentle blow. A sea of flames swept toward the rear of the carriage. But the flames proved ineffective. The first black wolf running through the void soon charged through the fire and neared the carriage, only to be cleaved in two by Shade's sword light.
It left no corpse behind, instead vanishing into the shadows. It seemed these wolf-like things were Elemental Lifeforms.
"Moonlight Slash."
Crossed moonlight flew from behind the carriage into the spreading sea of fire, while Dorothy had already finished nearly half her work scattering salt. This time, the relic's power leakage was not particularly strong, so stopping it went surprisingly smoothly.
"Detective, be careful. Something big is coming."
