The air grew thick with tension as the Omega Dire Wolf let out a guttural growl, its dark magic pulsating ominously. Solis and Ada, battered but unwavering, continued their assault. The battlefield echoed with the clash of weapons and the wolf's enraged howls.
Suddenly, a surge of energy filled the area.
Tedric stepped forward, his eyes blazing with resolve. A brilliant white aura erupted around him, illuminating the battlefield. Tiara, standing beside him, followed suit, her earthy brown aura rippling like the ground itself.
"No more hesitation," Tedric declared, gripping his sword tightly. "We fight together!"
Tiara nodded, determination etched on her face. "We'll end this now."

Solis and Ada glanced back as Tedric and Tiara leapt into the fray, their auras blazing like beacons of hope.
"About time," Solis said with a faint grin, his axe swinging to deflect another swipe from the wolf.
Ada, her breathing labored, managed a small smile. "Let's finish this."
---
The combined assault of the four fighters pushed the Omega Dire Wolf further to the edge. It stumbled, blood dripping from its numerous wounds. For a moment, it seemed as though victory was at hand.
But then, the beast let out a deafening roar. Its dark magic surged violently, engulfing its body in a malevolent aura. The ground trembled as the wolf's muscles bulged, its eyes glowing with a feral light.
"It's… it's going berserk!" Tiara shouted, her voice tinged with fear.
The wolf, now moving with unnatural speed and strength, lashed out in all directions. Solis and Ada dodged narrowly as its claws tore through the air, while Tedric and Tiara tried to flank it.
---
The berserked beast's attacks became more erratic and devastating. In a sudden charge, it targeted Ada. Her wooden sword, already weakened from the intense battle, shattered as she raised it to block.
Ada froze, her eyes wide with shock as the beast lunged toward her, its massive jaws opening wide.
"Ada, MOVE!" Solis yelled, his voice cracking with desperation.
But the beast was too fast, and Ada was too stunned to react in time.
---
In a flash of white light, Tedric appeared between Ada and the wolf. Without a moment's hesitation, he slammed into her, knocking her out of the beast's path. Ada hit the ground hard, rolling to a stop.
"TEDRIC!" she screamed, her voice breaking.
---
The wolf's jaws clamped down on Tedric's body, crushing him with horrifying force. Blood sprayed into the air as his lower half was severed, and the wolf flung the remains aside like a ragdoll.
Tedric's upper body hit the ground with a sickening thud, his intestines spilling out, painting the earth crimson.
---
Time seemed to stop.
Solis froze, his heart pounding as the scene burned itself into his mind. His hands trembled, the axe slipping from his grasp.
Tiara let out a scream of anguish, her brown aura flickering erratically as she fell to her knees.
Ada crawled toward Tedric's lifeless form, her eyes wide with disbelief. "No… no… this can't…" Her voice cracked as tears streamed down her face.
Oliver, watching from the sidelines, could only stare in horror. His body felt paralyzed, his mind unable to comprehend the sacrifice he had just witnessed.
---
Tedric, barely clinging to life, looked at Ada with weak eyes. His lips moved, but no sound came out at first. Then, with a faint, broken voice, he said, "Don't… stop… fighting…"
His head tilted to the side, his eyes glazing over as the last remnants of life left him.
---
The battlefield fell silent, save for the ragged breathing of the survivors and the ominous growls of the berserked wolf.
Solis clenched his fists, his orange aura flickering. He dropped the axe, his face turning white. "No way." he said, his voice low but filled with an unspoken pain. Solis run towards Tedric, "Instructor.....!"
Tiara stood slowly, her brown aura stabilizing as her grief transformed into resolve. Ada, still shaking, wiped her tears and grabbed a fallen weapon nearby, her expression hardening.
Tiara stopped Ada to come saying, "You have done enough. I will kill this creature right here, right now." Her voice was filled with rage. Her aura become more imminent.
Ada who wanted to take revenge for this falls because of exhaustion. Her heart was broken as it's her fault that Tedric died now. Her eyes filled with tears.
Now Tiara with her trusted war hammer launched an fierce attack upon that Omega Dire Wolf.
