Standing before Nox was a colossal spectral wolf, far larger than any of its original forms. Its translucent body shimmered with an otherworldly glow, and its eyes burned with a deep, piercing crimson light. Its fur seemed to ripple like liquid fire.

However, what stood out most was the faint murderous aura the spirit beast was emitting. Although Akira couldn't see the giant spectral wolf, as Nox had temporarily restricted her vision of it, she could sense the powerful aura, which made her shift uncomfortably.

Despite the unease, for some strange reason, she felt that nothing bad could happen to her. Akira knew she was being very naive, but this was something she couldn't help.

Akira wasn't the only one who felt uncomfortable in the presence of the spectral wolf. Solora had slithered behind Fluffington and Astralux hid behind Thirteen, peering at the menacing beast with both fascination and fear.

Thirteen and Fluffington glared at the massive spectral wolf. Not even a hint of fear could be detected in their eyes, which gave both Solora and Astralux an inexplicable feeling of security.

From their connection, both Thirteen and Fluffington could tell that this beast was very powerful and dangerous.

As much as he didn't want to admit it, even Fluffington felt a threat coming from the spectral wolf and knew he couldn't defeat it in a one-on-one fight.

Thirteen, on the contrary, was rubbing his paws together as he looked at the big creature with an excited glint in his eyes.

A new sparring partner, yay! And a very powerful one at that!

At that moment, the wolf let out a low growl. Its gaze swept through the surroundings as if it was looking for something before it locked onto Nox. Despite its intimidating presence, Nox felt no fear. Instead, he felt exhilaration.

"You're beautiful," Nox said, his eyes glowing in awe. "Let's see what you can do."

Akira stepped closer to Nox and whispered in an eager voice, "What is it? Let me see it as well."

Although Nox didn't sense any ill intent from Akira, he still didn't trust her completely. Hence, he had temporarily restricted her from seeing the fusion process. But now, he found nothing strange in letting her see the Supreme Spirit Wolf.

"This." As soon as she was granted access, Akira's face seemed to lose all color as the burning gaze of the Supreme Spirit Wolf settled on her. Because of the beast's large size, which was over three meters, Akira felt very small in its presence and subconsciously summoned her radiant sword.

That single action seemed to anger the beast, and the fire in its eyes became fiercer and more dangerous as it growled at the Valkyrie.

Growl!

But this wasn't just any growl! This was its new skill, Spirit Howl, and as the description suggested, it immediately sent an unstoppable tremble through Akira's knees. She struggled to stay on her feet, sweat accumulating on her forehead.

Nox was shocked when he saw this. Akira was a Level 50 Awakened, yet even she was struggling against the Supreme Spirit Wolf's skill.

Experience tales with empire

Nox didn't think too much and ordered the Spirit Wolf to withdraw its skill, which the beast obediently did and stepped back.

Akira exhaled sharply, steadying herself as the oppressive force of Spirit Howl receded. Her radiant sword dimmed as she lowered it, and in a trembling voice, she muttered under her breath, "What... what kind of monster is this? Is this still the power of beast taming?"

"Yes, it is." Nox smirked, his dark eyes gleaming with pride as he placed a reassuring hand on the wolf's ethereal mane. "But this is no ordinary monster—it's my creation. The Supreme Spirit Wolf. And it doesn't take kindly to threats."

Though Nox's voice was relatively calm, the warning in his tone was very clear.

"I wasn't threatening it! My sword appeared instinctively. It's... a reflex." Akira glanced uneasily at the wolf, which now stood motionless, its fiery eyes still fixed on her. "But it's plenty strong. I can feel it. The fact that your enemies wouldn't be able to see it makes it even more dangerous."

Meanwhile, Thirteen clapped his paws excitedly and chirped, [Panda! Fight!!]

[You? Fight it?] Solora hissed incredulously. The baby blue python coiled around herself tightly, clearly unnerved. [Thirteen, that thing could crush you in an instant!]

Although Solora hadn't forgiven Thirteen for what he did to her while she was still an egg, their connection made the python care about the panda—even though she would never admit it.

"Yes, Solora is right. This is not the time to fight among yourselves. Remember, one of the reasons we're here is to empower all of you, and we'll do just that," Nox said, much to the dismay of Thirteen, who could do nothing but step back with a dejected look on his face.

Before the conversation could escalate, Nox sensed countless presences approaching from all directions. He quickly ordered Astralux to check it out, and the jellyfish took to the sky. Its single gaze scanned the surroundings before it descended and whispered its findings to Nox.

Powerful potential enemies pouring from the east, huh? Nox turned to the Supreme Spirit Wolf. "You sense it too, don't you?"

The wolf's growl was low but affirmative. Its eyes burned brighter as it fixed its gaze toward the horizon, hackles raised.

"Well, as a welcome initiation to the family, you'll be the one to deal with the incoming 'potential enemies,'" Nox said to the wolf, which growled in response as it faced the east, murderous intent pouring out of its entire being.

Akira subconsciously looked in that direction as well, but then she frowned and turned her gaze to Nox. "Who are the potential enemies again?"
