Orion's eyes scanned over the two Fire Wolves summoned by Holden and Grady, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at their fiery appearance. The wolves' bodies were covered in shimmering orange and red fur, and their muscles rippled beneath their sleek exteriors.
The flames that danced around their bodies cast flickering shadows on the forest floor, creating an almost otherworldly atmosphere.
Their fangs were long and razor-sharp, glinting menacingly in the dim light. Their eyes were like molten gold, glowing with an intense, fiery light that seemed to pierce straight through Orion.
He could feel the heat emanating from them, the very air around the wolves pulsing with an energy that was both exhilarating and dangerous.
Orion knew that the Fire Wolves were powerful beasts, their fiery nature granting them enhanced speed and heat resistance. Despite the wolves' intimidating appearance, Orion remained calm and composed.
Holden and Grady stood before Orion, their Fire Wolves growling menacingly at Atlas. "Look at our beasts," Holden said with a smirk. "They're surely stronger than yours. Just be a good boy and hand over your points."
Orion chuckled at their arrogance. "You seem to forget that my loyal companion here is no ordinary beast," he said, patting Atlas on the side. "And while your Fire Wolves may be strong, they still cannot hold a candle to him."
Holden and Grady exchanged a glance, their confidence faltering slightly. But they were determined to get what they came for, and they weren't about to back down now.
Orion couldn't help but mock their foolishness. "Do you really think you can defeat me and take my points?" he asked a hint of amusement in his voice. "I suggest you turn around and go back to wherever you came from before you embarrass yourselves even further."
Holden bristled at Orion's words, his eyes narrowing. "You're underestimating us," he snarled. "We're Third-Stage Warriors just like you, and we're not afraid of a little challenge."
Orion just shook his head, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips. "If that's how you want to play it," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "But don't say I didn't warn you."
The tension in the forest was palpable as the two sides faced off against each other. The trees stood silent, witnesses to the impending battle, their branches rustling softly in the light breeze.
The orange glow of the setting sun cast an ethereal light over the scene, illuminating the fierce visages of the combatants.
Atlas snorted impatiently beside Orion, his massive body tensed and ready for action. Orion glanced at his loyal companion, a feeling of gratitude washing over him.
Holden and Grady seemed to sense Orion's confidence, and they exchanged a worried look. But they quickly shook it off, determined to prove themselves.
The Fire Wolves growled menacingly, their fiery eyes fixed on Atlas. The rhinoceros snorted again, his horn glinting in the dim light. He stood his ground, ready for whatever the Fire Wolves could throw at him.
The tension between the two groups had reached its boiling point, and neither side was willing to back down. Holden and Grady wasted no time in commanding their Fire Wolves to attack, and the atmosphere grew even more charged as the beasts prepared to unleash their fiery power.
Holden's command to his Fire Wolf was swift and direct. "Use Flame Fangs," he ordered, his voice cold and commanding. The beast responded immediately, its sharp fangs beginning to glow with a fiery red aura. As the Fire Wolf prepared to unleash its skill, its eyes fixed on Atlas with a fierce intensity.
The Fire Wolf's body trembled with fiery energy as it charged towards Atlas, aiming to sink its flaming fangs into the rhinoceros' tough hide. As it approached, the beast's movements became more fluid and graceful, its powerful muscles rippling beneath its shimmering orange and red fur.
The Fire Wolf was a master of close combat, and its skill with its fangs was unrivaled. As it closed in on Atlas, its glowing fangs became even more intense, and the air around them seemed to shimmer with heat.
Grady wasted no time in joining the attack, commanding his Fire Wolf to use its powerful Fire Breath ability. The beast inhaled deeply, drawing in as much air as possible before unleashing a powerful stream of flames that blazed toward Orion and Atlas.
The heat that radiated from the Fire Wolf's breath was intense, causing the air to warp and ripple around it. The flames themselves were bright and searing, casting long shadows over the forest floor as they burned through the underbrush.
As the Fire Wolves unleashed their fiery attacks, Orion remained calm and composed. He ordered, "Use Defensive Stance," his voice firm but steady. Atlas obediently lowered his head and shifted his weight, bracing himself against the incoming attacks.
The Fire Wolf, with its glowing fangs, lunged at Atlas, but the rhinoceros was prepared. As the wolf closed in, Atlas swung his massive head to the side, causing the beast to miss its mark and crash into the ground.
Meanwhile, the stream of flames from the other Fire Wolf blazed toward Orion and Atlas. But even as the intense heat distorted the air around them, Orion stood firm, seemingly unaffected by the flames.

It wasn't just Orion's calm demeanor that was keeping him composed in the face of the Fire Wolf's attack. He had cultivated Primordial Qi, a powerful energy that had made his body even stronger than normal.
