Kapitel 243: The Five Guardians (4)

In the midst of this tense encounter, as Damien stood poised to confront the archer, fate took an unexpected twist. Suddenly, a cacophony of frenzied growls and barks shattered the air. A pack of feral dogs, wild and untamed, lunged forward with savage intent, their teeth bared and eyes gleaming with a primal hunger.

The abruptness of their attack caught Damien off guard for a split second. The archer's struggle faded into the background as a new threat emerged from the shadows. The dogs, driven by instinct and a desperate need for sustenance, launched themselves at him with unrestrained ferocity.

In that brief moment, the battlefield transformed into a chaotic tableau of frenetic movement and bared fangs. The clash of steel and the echo of arrows were replaced by the snarls and yelps of the canine assailants. Their presence was a stark reminder that the undead horde was not the only danger in this macabre landscape.
