Looking at the nearly thirty-meter-tall Steelix, which stood up emitting metallic light, Balzack, who had transformed into a crimson wolf-human, subtly placed his right paw behind him, trembling incessantly.
If one looked closely, they could see that the sharp wolf claws had already shattered at the tips.
The intense pain made it difficult for Balzack to maintain his expression, his lips trembling slightly as he looked at the giant Steelix that Gar had transformed into:
"Receiving Magic?"
"What kind of monster is this..."
He himself was a Magician who controlled magical beasts.
On the Ishgar Continent, and even the entire world, he didn't know all the magical beasts.
But he knew most of them.
This kind of magical beast, entirely cast from steel, simply didn't exist in any records.
With a body of steel, it was even harder than diamond. How could such a thing exist, and what was its internal structure?
Balzack subconsciously pondered, but then immediately cast it aside.
Focusing intently on the Steelix Gar had transformed into, he thought about how to counter it.
His Crimson Blood Wolf had been trained into an A-Class magical beast, an existence that had broken through racial limitations. Its sharp claws could easily tear apart even large shields cast from fine iron, let alone break mountains and shatter rocks.
But when it struck the Steelix, the tips of his claws were actually chipped off. With such physical strength, even if he went into a frenzy, he probably couldn't do anything.
Crimson Blood Wolf itself was named for its ability to go into a frenzy.
When a pack of Crimson Blood Wolves went into a frenzy together, even many A-Class magical beasts had to avoid their sharp edge.
But now....
Balzack, who had transformed into a giant wolf-man, looked at the thirty-meter-tall steel body and had no way to attack.
And it wasn't just that.
The difference in size also made it impossible for him to defeat Gar head-on. Balzack cursed inwardly:
"Who collected this intelligence?"
"Nobody said he could use Receiving Magic either."
Balzack, who had transformed into a giant wolf-man, had no other options. He condensed a blood-colored magic orb in his hand and threw it into the air:
"Everyone!"
"Prepare to go into a frenzy! Run!!!"
Yes, just run.
Balzack didn't believe he could beat Gar, but as long as one person could escape and report the news, the more intelligence Grimoire Heart knew, the more likely they were to avenge him in the future.
As the blood-colored magic orb rose into the sky, a bloody aura began to permeate the air, blocking the falling sunlight. In the eyes of the many Aka Rou Ryouga Magicians and the giant wolves they raised, there was only that magic orb, like a blood moon.
Sounds of chilling wolf howls echoed through the valley. The already irritable Crimson Blood Wolves all began to go into a frenzy, their bodies swelling, muscles bulging, and their sharp claws and fangs becoming thicker and harder.
And just as these frenzied Crimson Blood Wolves were about to lose their minds, the Aka Rou Ryouga Magicians used Fusion Magic to fuse with their frenzied Crimson Blood Wolves.
They turned into upright wolf-men about five or six meters tall, their eyes flashing with a crimson madness.
Gar looked at Balzack with a solemn expression:
"A dying struggle."
The Steelix Gar had transformed into had surpassed the size of the original Steelix, nearly tripling in size, weight, and mass.
A wolf-man over ten meters tall looked quite terrifying, but under the charge of Gar's Steelix, which was this size and entirely made of steel, it would likely suffer comminuted fractures with a single blow.
And Gar did exactly that.
Seeing Balzack himself begin to go into a frenzy, staring intently at him in defense, the Steelix Gar had transformed into slightly twisted and coiled its body.
Boom---!!!
A loud noise came, and the ground trembled.
Balzack's wolf eyes contracted sharply. The body of the giant Steelix in his eyes kept getting bigger, bigger, and bigger...
The impact airflow coming at him, along with the cold killing intent, almost froze him. Where the Steelix passed, a shocking Ravine was torn in the ground, everything in front of it was crushed, and even hard rocks were like paper.
Accompanied by the unique hissing sound of snakes, the Steelix charged and crushed forward with an unstoppable momentum.
All the wolf fur on Balzack's body stood up in fright. He bent his legs and leaped.
Swish!
His entire body soared into the sky.
The ground rumbled. The body of the nearly thirty-meter-long Steelix crushed everything in front of it recklessly, without needing to brake. Nothing could stop its advance.
Without Balzack as a target, Gar, who had transformed into a Steelix, still rushed forward using inertia.
Those frenzied wolf-men, four or five meters tall, had no room to resist at all. Under the incredibly heavy body of the Steelix, they were easily crushed into mud, unable to even lift their legs to escape.
Thud! Thud!
The sounds of flesh and blood exploding under the steel crushing continued to ring out. It crushed everything without any obstruction, not even pausing for a moment.
Balzack, who had leaped into the sky, was about to burst his eyes. His entire body's Magic erupted:
"Bastard!"
"Stop it!!!"
