Oli and Wolf hid behind a mountain of rubble, buildings burning around them with mutilated corpses littering the ground. Golems stood outside the dining halls chewing dismembered body parts. Sister Mary had ordered them to kill every human—both the newcomers and intruders. Screams poisoned the sky, followed by gunshots and more screams.

Victoria stood between Sister Mary and Sister Ophelia. The only way Oli could get to her was if Wolf caused a distraction. And even then, it was still a hard task.

"Here," Wolf said, handing Oli a light gun. "You have fifty rounds before it runs out of charge. Use it effectively. If you need another charger, tell me. Understood?"

"Yes." With the majority of Coupon City burning, Oli saw no need in fearing the consequences of attacking the nuns because she believed it would be viewed as self-defense and not a hunt—technically, her bounty was Monica Pauly.

"More people are entering the city or heading here. They've had enough with the nuns and want to take them down while they have the chance."

"How duh yuh know?" Oli suspected Wolf had a trick up his sleeve since they met, keeping him one step ahead. If they weren't in a battle with the nuns and golems, she would have pressed him until he spilled out his secret.

"I have my ways." He smiled. "Once I distract the nuns and golems, take Victoria and leave the city quickly. Don't waste time and get captured."

"Yuh too. Be careful."

Wolf nodded. "See you around, hyena."

"See you around, coyote."

Wolf pressed something behind his ear. A helmet materialized, covering his head. He saluted Oli and flew away.

"Yoohoo!" He waved at the nuns and golems, getting their attention. Putting his hands on his waist, he said, "Crazy nuns and ugly creatures of Coupon, today, I, Wolf The Conquerer, shall send you back to... You know what, never mind. Show me what you got."

The golems screeched, forcing Oli to cover her ears.

The noise didn't affect Wolf. He hovered in the air, watching the creatures dart towards him. Laser guns materialized in his hands, and he shot the golems repeatedly, leaving holes between their eyes. The ones who couldn't fly used the buildings to leap at him, but he flew even higher while killing them.

Damn, he's good, Oli thought.

The deacons and bishops spread their wings like majestic beings before going after him. Sister Mary watched Wolf fight her subordinates with a smile on her face. Seeing as she was obsessed with putting on a show, she must've been impressed with the coyote's display.
