They are different, not the wolves he used to hunt in the woods, they had teeth coming out from their mouths, those teeth showed to the outward even if they closed their mouths and they were larger than twice the size of an ordinary beast Joshua is known to.
?"Some kind of different beast? But I never heard of such a kind from the hunters that used to hunt in these areas."
?Joshua's land, the barony ruled by his father, is nearby to this forest, and hunters from the barony occasionally come to hunt in these outward areas, and Joshua knew from their experience about what kind of beasts they would encounter.
?[System is starting]
?Suddenly another light appeared in Joshua's vision and this one did not disappear as the one before. Joshua touched it and his hand easily passed through it, he confirmed it to be a light, but he did not understand how a light can show words like he speaks.
"What is starting?" Wary of the words shown by the light, he looked around and saw, much like him, other soldiers also appeared to have seen a light in front of them. But only a few raised questions in the face of it as the battle still continued with the wolves.
?And some wolves targeted Joshua, who stood guarding his horse.
?"That's it, I can't fight without seeing the enemies!"
?The Death Galloper, after taking down a dozen wolves, struggled to fight them anymore as the wolves continued to rush into the darkness and once again jump at him from there, making Death Galloper unprepared for them. He ran to the fireplace and grabbed a burning log and threw it at the nearby forest.
?It had been some time since the last rain and the forest was as dry as it could be for a fire. The moment the burning log landed on dry leaves, the fire started to burn, which then spread through the ground by dry leaves and eventually to the trees.
?The surroundings became brightened by the burning forest, and the wolves hidden in the dark became visible to the eye. At the same time, the wolves became cowardly as the fire made them frightened.
?[Individual System startup successful]
?The light panel changed as Joshua took down a wolf that prepared to run away in fear of the fire.

?A panel appeared in Joshua's vision, and from what he saw fittingly in the panel, Joshua became overwhelmed and even more conflicted.
?He didn't know how a light could show his name to him and also about the lineage and his title. He did not understand what the class means, and for what was in the last of the panel named basic stats, he could only grasp that it's showing a few numbers in front of basic aspects of human bodies.
?"Okay, now this is turning into something hard to ignore. What the hell is going on? Am I under some kind of curse? But I'm not the only one appearing to be seeing this thing."
As Joshua said, he isn't the only one seeing the panel, Death Galloper read every word in the panel with a ridiculing attitude, as if he was hallucinating. And the other soldiers all had numerous expressions on their faces.

?Just after Joshua finished reading what was written in the light, he heard a sound. It did not come from a soldier, instead, it was from a wolf.
It was a howl.
?A howl so terrifying even the air felt shaken by it. But to the wolves, that howl was like a call to them, those wolves on fear of the fire started to attack again as if the howl had filled them with bravery and courage.
?Joshua managed to locate the direction from where the howl of the wolf had come, and what he saw was a wolf with black fur. It had a horde of wolves already surrounding it, and in the center of them, it stood like a leader of the pack.
?Its black fur shone with the flaming fire burning in the forest. Its eyes are red like the blood that flowed from the soldiers' wounds. It stood there gazing at the battle like a leader.
?Joshua wasn't the only one to take notice of it, the Death Galloper is already on the move toward the beast. With his own original sword in hand, he rushed at the thing, but the horde of wolves that surrounded it did not let him through.
?And more than that, there was another thing that drew more attention than the previous wolf.
?It came crushing burning trees, like a hurricane bursting into the field, a wolf with three heads.
Just the mere presence of it gave the soldiers a sense of foreboding. Seeing something so terrifying made all the soldiers start to feel hesitant even to lift their swords at the thing.
?But Death Galloper is different. He grasps his sword and changes his target. The wolf surrounded by a horde is not his target anymore. He seeks a battle, a battle truly worthy of him, and this thing that appeared suddenly in the battle, defying all the common sense he knew, became his new target. And Death Galloper ran, without even a soldier to support him, Death Galloper jumped at the beast once he got closer and swung his blade against it.
?The three headed wolf is the size of at least three of the other wolves the soldiers fought, and it bit at Death Galloper as he jumped, but its bite wasn't enough to stop the Death Galloper. His sword swung, striking at the head that bit at him, and he jolted, jolted like a fish taken out from the water, avoiding a ball of fire emitted by the middle head of the three.
The avoided ball of fire landed on a nearby tree, crumbling it into ash and dust in a matter of a second.
?"This is madness, I surely have gone mad. What am I even seeing now?"
?Soldiers retorted; the fact that they are fighting a group of wolves, with one being three headed and one of the heads being able to spit out fire, is something hard for them to accept, and they were left stunned and frozen in their places, giving the battling wolves an edge in the battle.
?Joshua was different. From a glance at the battlefield, he understood who the most important figures in this battle are. And one of them is battling against the Death Galloper, leaving the other to do as it pleases.
?The wolf with black fur once again howled, and its voice echoed far and wide, giving all the wolves in the battlefield an immediate rush of excitement and thrill.
?Joshua tightened his grip on his sword and mounted his horse. It was something gifted to him by his father on his fifth birthday, and he named the horse, in the time period he got it as a gift, Winter.
?Mounted on Winter, Joshua rode toward the black fur wolf.
?The wolves surrounding the black fur wolf gave him a hard time getting close to it, and Joshua had to get off from Winter as early as he could to prevent Winter from suffering any serious damage from the wolves' bites.
