An Extra’s POV

~FWIIIIISH!~

Twin burning slashes marked themselves into space as they landed upon the barrier.

The force alone caused Fenrir to be pushed back, so he simply recoiled in the air and landed a few meters away from his enemy—right before charging back again.

~WHOOOSH!~

Once again, he did the same, slashing and hacking the barrier with unbelievable speed.

Again…

~SWISH!~

And again…

~VWUUSH!~

… Yet again!

He kept this up, almost as one who had infinite stamina, just waiting for the moment the barrier would wear down.

But… it didn't!

No matter how many strikes he made, or how fast he tore through the air to reach his target, or how badly the area around him was devastated…

… The barrier remained intact.

"Haaa… haaaa…"

After about five minutes of relentless assault, the beast finally slowed down.

He exhaled heavily, standing about ten meters from his target while huffing and puffing.

'Why is the barrier not going down? I've tried practically everything…'

Fenrir already knew the answer, but he had been subconsciously ignoring it all this time. But, with his options all but consummated, he had no other choice but to admit the truth.

'She's stronger than I am. And it's not even close!'

It felt like a strike to his ego—especially since he desired her as a submissive bride.

Now that he knew who was superior, Fenrir felt beyond annoyed.

He felt frustrated.
