Making an Entrance (Continued)

Thus, it immediately raised its rather large beast claw and swatted directly at the pack of ice wolves.

But at that moment, as its paw came down, several ice wolves were instantly smashed to pieces.

But it was useless. As its claws struck down repeatedly, ice wolves were crushed into powder with every blow.

Yet there were simply too many ice wolves. Though each strike brought results, nearly half of them still slammed directly into Matatabi's body.

Strangely, after crashing into Matatabi, the ice wolves did not inflict much damage on her.

And the ice wolves' method of attack was clearly deliberate. Every time they charged, they targeted Matatabi's legs.

After the mist wrapped around Matatabi's legs, it quickly transformed into a layer of frost that began spreading over her entire body.

Because Matatabi had been continuously striking with her front paws, the ice wolves had effectively restrained her two hind legs.
