00:00:00My Werewolf System. Chapters 1681 to 1690. Chapter 1681 The Big Day. The day finally
00:00:11It had arrived. Gary wasn't sure how he felt about it. Standing atop the
00:00:17mountain next to Esteve, with the cold fog spreading across the ground and engulfing the
00:00:22at the ends of the earth, it felt less like the beginning of a great battle and more like the
00:00:27Calm before something inevitable. Gary, honestly, couldn't tell if they were destined to play
00:00:35a real role in what was about to happen, or were they merely observers? But
00:00:40Even if this journey ended here, it wouldn't have been a waste. They had learned so much.
00:00:47so that it wouldn't mean anything. The group waited in silence, the air thick and humid. The fog
00:00:54It wound around their legs, preventing them from seeing more than a few meters ahead. Every sound
00:01:01It amplified. The soft crunch of boots against the stone, the distant whisper of the wind among the
00:01:07trees in the distance, even Gary's slow breathing. A sudden flash of light pierced the
00:01:14fog. Gary jerked his head up as he saw two familiar figures emerging from the fog. Their
00:01:21Silhouettes formed before they were defined. Blee stood erect and serene, her blue hair cascading.
00:01:27barely moving despite the breeze, while Lenny walked beside her with his usual expression
00:01:32Calm down. Gary's eyes lingered on Lenny longer than he intended. My question,
00:01:39Gary thought. Is it really the same person? The resemblance to Rickle still unsettled him. The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it.
00:01:47Gary looked at her, finding it even harder to ignore the facial structure, the posture, even the shape
00:01:53in which her eyes scrutinized the surroundings with silent caution. If Lenny really was the
00:01:59The same person, what had he been doing all this time? Why would someone like him create the
00:02:05altered in the future if he wasn't human? There were too many unanswered questions and there was no
00:02:11Time to raise them. I'm glad to see everyone is still here, Blee said, her voice calmer.
00:02:18Never before. It seems you haven't brought anyone else. Esteve frowned slightly. What do you want?
00:02:25What do you mean? These three are with me. I thought that was more than enough. Blee turned her gaze back to Gary,
00:02:33Kai and Lupus. His gaze was deeper than before, almost unsettling, as if he were measuring something.
00:02:41invisible within them. For the three of you, Blee said slowly, there is still a risk.
00:02:48A Soku's influence isn't limited to alphas. Since they're neither alphas nor betas, there may be ways
00:02:54so that he could control them more easily. Lupus stiffened and Kai's jaw tightened.
00:03:01I think the best thing, Blee continued, is for you to stay behind us at all times. Esteve will be the
00:03:08focal point, and I will help you block the influence of a Soku. If the situation worsens, only then
00:03:15You should intervene. I understood that immediately. This wasn't their fight to interfere in. Not yet.
00:03:24They were there to witness, learn, and understand why they had arrived at that moment in the first place.
00:03:30The ground trembled slightly as two more figures emerged from the fog. Jack appeared first,
00:03:37with his enormous weapons firmly strapped to his back and his spiritual armor already active despite
00:03:43from the absence of combat. Esteve instinctively straightened up upon seeing him, and Gary noticed the tension
00:03:49that still lingered between the brothers, even now. And next to Jack. Why those faces? He said
00:03:56Bluebeard smiled. Did you really think that would be the last time you'd see me? Kai couldn't
00:04:03Avoid smiling sarcastically. Even now, Bluebird seemed relaxed, as if entering a battle
00:04:11Facing a Soku was no more troublesome than a morning stroll. When they had all finally gathered,
00:04:17The group began to move. According to Bliss and Lenny, they had been tracking a Soku for some time. Their investigation
00:04:25He had taken them to a place near the mountain where they were. The journey took them through
00:04:31A dense forest, with branches and leaves brushing against their shoulders as they walked. Finally, another one appeared.
00:04:38A mountain, larger and darker than the first. A Soku has been staying here, Lenny explained.
00:04:45as they moved. This allows him to monitor both groups while freely interfering. We have already
00:04:52We followed several tracks that led us to a cave at the foot of this mountain. Steve Ascensio slowly.
00:04:58So it was already close. Yes, Lenny said. We just didn't realize that the
00:05:06The issues were directly related to his two packs. We hadn't been paying attention.
00:05:12Pay close attention to werewolves. Steve almost asked what they'd been paying attention to.
00:05:18But she stopped. "While we're on our way," Bliss said, reaching into her robes. "There's something..."
00:05:25I should show you. She pulled out an object about the size of a fist. The moment Gary saw it,
00:05:32She gasped. It was a medallion. This medallion, Bliss continued, will be used on Steve. It will prevent him from
00:05:41The power of a Soku spreads and influences the rest of you. With this, Jack will be able to fight without
00:05:47Interference. Kai's thoughts raced. So this is really it. The object they would need
00:05:55In due time, the key to fighting a Soku without being controlled already existed here. Only
00:06:02They needed to remember it, understand it, and survive long enough to use that knowledge. Finally,
00:06:09The group reached the base of the mountain. Their pace slowed. Lenny went first,
00:06:16Crouching down and carefully parting the large leaves, he peered through the foliage at the entrance.
00:06:22from a huge cave carved into the mountainside. "There are guards," Steve said quietly.
00:06:29"Lenny is Encio." "They were here before too, but they're not the same ones." Jack frowned. "They're not
00:06:37"Werewolves." "No," Lenny replied. "They're like me. Chapter 1682 another problem. You mean there are
00:06:48"Vampires with a Soku?" Gary asked. It was hard to believe. In his time, there hadn't been any.
00:06:55Collaboration between the two groups, at least not openly. Vampires and werewolves always
00:07:02They had been enemies, on opposite sides of the battlefield. However, upon further reflection,
00:07:08Upon closer inspection, certain things began to fall into place. The vampires wished to be completely rid of
00:07:15The werewolves, while a Soku wished that the two alphas would fight each other and tear his own apart.
00:07:21of their own species. If both sides had united at any point, even briefly,
00:07:27They would have created a terrifying enemy. One that could attack from the shadows while manipulating the
00:07:34events from above. However, at least in their current era, it didn't seem that both
00:07:40If the factions were working together, the war would already be much worse than it is.
00:07:47"Now. 'Vampires, so that's the name they've given us,' Lenny muttered to himself. His voice was
00:07:54She was calm, but her expression wasn't. She wasn't focused on the name itself, but on the
00:08:01presence of the two figures guarding the cave. "Those vampires are clearly in a state
00:08:07"Very strong mental fortitude," Lenny thought. "Which means they know exactly what they're doing and for whom."
00:08:13"They work." That thought troubled him more than he wanted to admit. "I've already contacted most of them."
00:08:20"In this era," he continued silently. "Does that mean someone has been working behind my back?"
00:08:27"Or what has gone over to the other side without my knowledge? I'll take care of them," Lenny said.
00:08:34of
00:08:34Suddenly, he gestured for the rest of the group to stay where they were. There was no hesitation in his
00:08:40He moved, as if he had already decided what to do the moment he saw them. Without saying another word.
00:08:46With that word, Lenny stepped aside. The others waited in silence. A few moments passed.
00:08:53before they saw Lenny climbing the mountainside at an astonishing speed.
00:08:59His movements were precise and controlled; his figure blended seamlessly with the rocky surface until he was perfectly positioned.
00:09:06above the guards. He waited. Even Gary could tell that Lenny was calculating the
00:09:12The exact moment to attack. Then he dropped down. Lenny landed directly on top of the first vampire.
00:09:20The impact was brutal. Before the creature could react, Lenny threw a punch toward
00:09:26He slammed it against the vampire's head. The force was overwhelming and killed him instantly.
00:09:33Instant. The second vampire barely had time to turn his head. A thin red line of aura
00:09:40It shot out of Lenny's hand, piercing the vampire's chest. The attack was swift, but
00:09:46content, insufficient to split it in half. Lenny didn't stop. He ran forward, shortened the
00:09:54From a distance, he covered the vampire's mouth with his hand and slammed him against the cave wall. The sound
00:10:01The scraping of bone against stone resonated softly as the vampire's back was crushed against the
00:10:07"He's pretty strong for an old man," Gary muttered. "We're all old now," he replied.
00:10:14Bluebird calmly. But although he was best known for his alchemical skills, he was a hero of the
00:10:21war. In more ways than one, he actively participated in the final battle against the shadow plague.
00:10:28However, what caught everyone's attention was not the ease with which Lenny had killed the
00:10:33first guard, but what he was doing with the second. Lenny didn't finish it immediately. In
00:10:40Instead, her eyes began to glow red as she stared directly into the vampire's face. Who
00:10:47"Who was it?" Lenny asked. "Who transformed you?" His grip tightened. "Tell me their name." The eyes of
00:10:55The vampires' spirits dimmed slightly, and their resistance faded under Lenny's pressure. His name?
00:11:02The vampire answered weakly. His name is Lasmus. As soon as he received the answer,
00:11:10Lenny acted without hesitation. His hand moved forward, slashing the vampire cleanly across the throat.
00:11:16The body fell limp. This is a dangerous matter that must be resolved, Lenny muttered to himself.
00:11:23It's as I suspected. But first, I have to deal with the current situation. He turned and signaled to
00:11:31The others let him know it was safe to approach. It seems these two were the only ones.
00:11:38"Guards on guard," Lenny said. "But they weren't directly watching Unzoku. Unzoku is confident in his power."
00:11:46Lenny continued. If anyone tries to oppose him, he thinks he can take them on. These guards were just...
00:11:53here to deal with anyone who came to the cave. Upon entering, the group was surprised by what
00:11:59They could see well despite the darkness. Even Bluebird, a human, moved without hesitation.
00:12:06Their eyes quickly adjusted. The deeper they went, the heavier the air became.
00:12:13There were corpses scattered on the ground. Dead werewolves. Esteve clenched his jaw.
00:12:20Forcing himself not to speak immediately. There, he said softly. From the pack. It really was Unzoku
00:12:28who was behind it all. I'm sorry, Jack said gravely. For always accusing you of being the cause.
00:12:36of all this. In return, I will do everything possible to eliminate him. In any case, seeing the bodies only
00:12:43It strengthened Esteve's resolve. Any remaining doubts vanished completely.
00:12:50Lenny glanced briefly at Bliss, but said nothing as they continued on. The cavern
00:12:57It suddenly opened into a huge chamber. The view from inside was horrifying. Corpses of enormous
00:13:04Beasts lay scattered across the area. They weren't ordinary creatures. They were high-level beasts. Entities
00:13:11powerful creatures that should have been almost impossible to hunt. Some bodies were mangled,
00:13:18Some were half-eaten, while others appeared completely lifeless. The crystals
00:13:24They protruded from the floor and walls and shone faintly. There were strange markings engraved on each one.
00:13:31Surface. Symbols that pulsed with a disturbing energy. And standing at the center of it all. It was the
00:13:38that they were looking for. Anzoku, Jack shouted, and his voice echoed violently off the walls of the cavern. Unzoku was
00:13:46He turned slowly. His enormous demonic werewolf form loomed over them. His eyes burned.
00:13:54"I looked at everyone with malice. I knew they were already on their way," Unzoku said calmly.
00:14:01There was one simple thing they had to do. But my life has never been easy. He stepped forward.
00:14:08"I suppose once I've dealt with you," Unzoku continued, "I'll have to kill your entire family."
00:14:15And I'll take your packs myself. I'll start from the beginning. His lips curved into a smile
00:14:21Cruel. You've caused me too much trouble. Bliss took her position, gripping the medallion tightly.
00:14:30In his hand. Energy began to gather around him. A celestial. Unzoku said, narrowing his eyes.
00:14:38The eyes. So that's your card. He laughed. I was warned you might come after me, he said
00:14:46Unzoku.
00:14:47But you're the one who should be afraid of me. Chapter 1683 Fight for freedom. An enormous radiant energy
00:14:56It had begun to emanate from Unzoku, saturating the air with a suffocating pressure. It almost seemed as if it
00:15:03It seeped through all her pores, manifesting as a thick crimson fog that quickly filled the
00:15:09cavern. The sensation caused everyone present to shudder involuntarily. It wasn't just a
00:15:16a feeling of overwhelming power, to which they were accustomed. This was something much more sinister. It felt
00:15:23as if they had entered a dimension or a realm where they simply shouldn't exist. A place
00:15:29where the laws of nature were being distorted. Stick to the plan. Leave now.
00:15:36Bliss screamed at the top of her lungs. She slammed her cane violently against the stone floor. A wave of
00:15:42Magical force exploded outward, and some of the oppressive red energy surrounding them was repelled.
00:15:49for a brief and crucial moment. Seizing the opportunity, the first two to advance were
00:15:55Lenny and Bluebeard, launching into the fray. Unsoku's influence was known for its effectiveness.
00:16:01against Jack and Esteve due to their nature. If Unsoku were to fight them directly using his
00:16:08Mind control powers, they could probably stop them quickly. That's why the vanguard had
00:16:15that distracted him. It just needed a little more preparation for the medallion to work.
00:16:20Effectively against Steve and will counteract this. Steve Prepper. This is going to hurt a little.
00:16:27Bliss cried out. She held the heavy medallion firmly in her hand. With a swift and expert movement,
00:16:34He twisted the outer ring of the device. Immediately afterward, he struck it against Esteve's back with
00:16:42with surprising force, almost driving the metal into his skin. Esteve fell to his knees instantly,
00:16:48with a guttural groan escaping his lips. The center of the artifact, which bore the mark of
00:16:55A wolf began to glow with an intense, blinding light. All werewolves are connected.
00:17:01"In a way. That's why Unsoku can control you to a certain extent," Bliss explained, her voice tense.
00:17:08while maintaining the spell. But this power with which he controls others is not entirely
00:17:15Yours. USA2 Will. Steve. Fight against control for all of your kind. Immediately, Steve
00:17:24He felt the impulse growing inside him, bubbling like boiling magma. It was the same
00:17:30primal impulse and the same surge of power he felt when he became an alpha, but multiplied
00:17:36Times ten. He opened his eyes suddenly, turning an intense blood red. Not just his pupils.
00:17:43The whites of her eyes were also consumed by the crimson tide. While the red fog
00:17:49The energy emanating from Unsoku attempted to snake towards Bliss to stop her, but she continued using
00:17:55He used his own magic to defend himself, creating a barrier of light. While all this was unfolding
00:18:01Amid the chaos, the three observers, Gary, Kai, and the others, remained in the back, watching.
00:18:08He watched every move intently. Lenny extended his hands, and a jagged aura of red energy emanated from him.
00:18:14It launched itself straight at Unsoku. It was a swift and ferocious attack, but Unsoku didn't even
00:18:20He didn't flinch. With both fists, he swung his arms with ease, shattering the projectile.
00:18:26with energy as if it were made of glass. Unsoku jumped from his position, the ground creaking.
00:18:32Under its launch, it headed straight for Lenny. Lenny braced himself, but before
00:18:39Just as Unsoku was about to reach him, a sword swooped down on him at the perfect moment.
00:18:44It was aimed precisely at Unsoku's outstretched arm. Bluebird had intervened.
00:18:51He knew how difficult the fight would be, so he didn't hold back or try to hide.
00:18:56His abilities. He used his ki to the fullest and his unique vision of the white lines.
00:19:02to act. He anticipated the trajectory of the attack before it happened. The sword struck the
00:19:07Unsoku's wrist was struck with a powerful blow. It didn't sever the limb, but it deflected the attack.
00:19:13This caused Unsoku to miss by mere centimeters when trying to grab Lenny. However,
00:19:19Unsoku was enraged by the interference. With a fluid movement, he raised his leg and
00:19:26He delivered a devastating kick to Bluebeard's chest. The force sent Bluebeard flying.
00:19:32flying through the air like a rag doll, crashing against the cave wall with
00:19:37enough force to shake the entire chamber. Dust and debris fell from the ceiling. They are some
00:19:44"Annoying flies!" Unsoku shouted, a hint of disdain in his voice. He turned his attention back to the vampire.
00:19:51ready to attack Lenny first. In the brief instant that Bluebeard saved him,
00:19:57Lenny stepped back, creating distance. He continued trying to strike from afar, this time firing a shot.
00:20:04A concentrated beam of energy shot from the palm of his hand and struck Unsoku's body. It hit the
00:20:10surface of his skin for an instant, sizzling against the flesh, but Unsoku simply
00:20:16He flexed his muscles. The sheer physical pressure spread slightly outward and shattered the
00:20:22A red aura appeared in an instant. "Unsoku, you'll pay for threatening my family!" Jack shouted, his voice
00:20:30thunderous. When Unsoku turned to see who was shouting, he saw Jack, completely transformed. The
00:20:38A huge werewolf stood there, radiating unmistakable power. He gripped the enormous hammer.
00:20:44He held a weapon of war in his hands, and a dense, thick aura enveloped his entire body. He was finally using the
00:20:51The special power of the demonic weapon he wielded. Bluebird detached itself from the wall, moaning
00:20:57Slightly. Although he had received a heavy blow, over the years he had acquired high-caliber beast equipment
00:21:04level for his body. The armor had absorbed most of the impact, allowing him to survive
00:21:10to the blow of a monster like Unsoku. Seeing the werewolf charge, Unsoku felt no fear. In
00:21:17He changed, extending his hand with an open palm, ready to mentally halt Jack's movements and
00:21:24He stopped it in its tracks. He urged his will to continue, hoping the wolf would freeze.
00:21:30But when he tried, he saw that Jack was still moving towards him, gaining speed.
00:21:37"My powers," Unsoku thought, opening his eyes slightly. "They're not working." Unsoku looked past the beast.
00:21:46He charged and saw Esteve and the celestial being doing something in the back. It was subtle, the energy
00:21:52echoing between them, but now she realized what the meddler had done. She had
00:21:58The frequency was interfered with. With all his might, Jack hurled the warhammer straight toward
00:22:05Unsoku. The impact was catastrophic. He struck his body with all his might, pushing Unsoku away.
00:22:12downwards. The force caused Unsoku's legs to sink into the ground, plunging him down to
00:22:18knees. The ground cracked like a spider's web, and a devastating power spread everywhere.
00:22:25Dispersing the fog. He's using his ultimate ability, the warhammer, immediately.
00:22:32Gary said, watching with wide eyes. Okay. Do you remember what Bliss said? Kai replied,
00:22:41without taking their eyes off the battle. The plan is to attack him from the start with all their might.
00:22:47They need to do it a lot of damage. Right now. Because if they wait, it will grow stronger thanks to its connection with
00:22:55That... thing. They have to weaken it enough to be able to seal it. Kai clenched his fists. That's why
00:23:03They were going to give it their all from the start. The plan seemed to be working. The three observers were watching the
00:23:11From the past and the present, battling in perfect sync. Lenny was already preparing for his next
00:23:18spell, and Bluebird had stood up, sword raised, ready to help Jack to
00:23:24To end this once and for all. Chapter 1684 The Last Battle of Unsoku. Part 1. The Attack of
00:23:33Jack, with the enormous hammer fully activated, wasn't relying solely on his raw physical strength. He was carrying
00:23:40the weight of something much greater. The collective power of the members of his pack. The energy did not come
00:23:47Only from him. It was channeled from the city, even from non-combatants. As long as they were part of it
00:23:55From the pack, Suki flowed through the connection, flooding it to reinforce its attack. That was the reason
00:24:02Therefore, when the hammer finally connected with Unsoku, it had damaged his body much more severely
00:24:09than the entity had expected. The beast weapons were originally tools designed
00:24:14to bridge the great gap between humans and beasts. They allowed humans to control a power that no one else could control.
00:24:21They should possess it naturally. However, werewolves were fundamentally different. They were
00:24:28monsters in their own right. They were already stronger, with natural regeneration and immense durability.
00:24:35They grew even stronger by consuming the flesh and cores of other beasts. For a werewolf,
00:24:42an apex predator, using a bestial weapon, designed specifically for him and manufactured
00:24:48With the strongest beasts, the result was catastrophic. It was a power multiplier that
00:24:55It defied logic. Unsoku had managed to raise both arms in a desperate attempt.
00:25:00He tried to protect himself from the blow, but the flow of energy and the kinetic impact had shaken him to his core.
00:25:07body. He could feel the vibration coursing through his bones, threatening to shatter them. However,
00:25:14Unsoku was not defeated so easily. As he tensed his arms, his muscles bulged grotesquely.
00:25:21It wasn't a normal push-up. His arms seemed to inflate, growing to almost twice their size.
00:25:29Original in a fraction of a second, undulating with supernatural force. With a roar,
00:25:35He swung one of those enormous arms, striking Jack squarely in the stomach. The blow was powerful.
00:25:42He flung Jack to the side like a cannonball, breathless as he crashed into the rubble.
00:25:48At the same time, from the other flank to cover Jack, Bluebeard and Lenny made their move.
00:25:56They arrived like a synchronized blur. Lenny fired a burst of red aura that seemed
00:26:02The shot of a heavy cannon, a concentrated beam of blood energy. Bluebeard, moving with the
00:26:09With the grace of a master swordsman, he charged forward with his sword, which glowed with concentrated ki. Both aimed
00:26:16to stab and strike Unzoku's exposed side while he was distracted. Unzoku
00:26:22He reacted with terrifying speed. He slammed his fist into the ground to stabilize himself, just like
00:26:29Having expanded his muscles before, he did the same with his torso and side. His entire arm and side became
00:26:36They turned into a mass of hardened flesh and muscle, becoming a biological barrier.
00:26:42The attacks struck the wall of flesh with a powerful blow. The red aura splashed across it without causing any damage.
00:26:49damage, and Bluebeard's ki-infused sword struck the hardened muscle, but caused almost no damage,
00:26:56simply bouncing off the impenetrable defense. Right after the failed attack, Jack was already
00:27:02Standing, fueled by regeneration and adrenaline, he brandished the hammer again, intending to
00:27:09Unzoku's arms instantly shrank to increase his speed, and he managed to finish.
00:27:15He deflected the hammer head mid-strike, diverting the heavy weapon. Then he retreated, ready.
00:27:22to throw his own fist and crush the wolf's skull. Jack didn't give up, he swung his arm to
00:27:29intercept him, and simultaneously, Bluebeard's sword extended, striking the arm of
00:27:35Unzoku deflected it, ruining his aim. An intense hand-to-hand combat ensued.
00:27:42With each clash of fists, hammers, and swords, the entire cavern shook. Dust fell from the
00:27:48roof as the structural integrity of their battlefield began to fail. Observing
00:27:54Amidst the chaos, Lenny realized something. Unzoku has already suffered enough damage for now, Lenny thought.
00:28:01while he watched the titan's movements. If they continue to harm him, he could resort to
00:28:08to more dangerous powers or become too unpredictable for us to control. To the
00:28:14Prolonged, it will bring us more problems. I have to create the seal now. Lenny used his vampire speed,
00:28:22disappearing from its place and moving rapidly from one place to another around the perimeter of the
00:28:27He fought. He knelt and embedded a shard of glass deep into the stone floor. He moved
00:28:34with expert precision, introducing the crystals one by one until they form a perfect, wide circle
00:28:40around where the three combatants were fighting. As they did so, the fighting in the center intensified even further.
00:28:47More. Cracks began to appear in the walls and floor, even without Unzoku using his full power.
00:28:54Unzoku was beginning to adapt. He started using abilities never seen before, moving
00:29:01at odd angles and striking with an invisible force. Deep scratches and scars began
00:29:07to appear on Jack's body, with blood matted in his fur. However, even
00:29:14After receiving the blows, the alpha did not falter. He took the blows and got up to attack again. His
00:29:24Beard, on the other hand, was giving it his all. He was using everything he had. His ki,
00:29:30His footwork, his vision, knowing perfectly well that the margin for error was zero. If he received the ball again
00:29:38A clean blow, one of those blows that expand the muscles, would knock him out of the fight forever.
00:29:44Or worse, dead. He changed his style, adopting a more defensive stance when moving, supporting Jack.
00:29:51The blows were aimed at the werewolf's vital points. It worked, but barely.
00:29:59Two of them, although they were doing well, were no longer winning. They were simply surviving. Gary and the others, who were watching from
00:30:07The barrier, they gripped their weapons tightly, wondering if it would be necessary to join the
00:30:13fight. However, they hesitated, as they saw that Esteve and Bliss seemed too focused on
00:30:19Everything that was happening. Interfering now could ruin the delicate plan. It was then that
00:30:25They saw Lenny. He had finished installing the perimeter glass and was now standing in
00:30:31a particular position, just behind where the three were mainly fighting. In his hand,
00:30:38He held a strange pulsating crystal that seemed to contain a range of different swirling colors
00:30:44to the others. As Lenny held it tightly, ready to activate the seal, his mind recalled his
00:30:51conversation with Bliss about the plan. What is this stamp you're going to use? Lenny asked. Can I create
00:30:58"Spaces?" Bliss replied calmly. "It's not something unique to me. Technically, we can all create spaces."
00:31:06spaces. However, the level of power and stability makes the difference from one individual to another. But,
00:31:14To be honest, it's a space I would create on my own. A Soku could escape from it even if
00:31:21was weakened. She had given him the crystals then. That's why I need to borrow
00:31:27the power of these special crystals. I've borrowed them to create a more powerful space and
00:31:34reinforced. It will seal it completely, as it has no access to power from the outside world while it is reinforced.
00:31:41Trapped in this space, but he will eventually escape. It's not permanent. The main question
00:31:47What weighed on Lenny's mind was whether they had done enough. Did they want a Soku to suffer more harm?
00:31:53of which it already had before sealing it. Although the entity had suffered quite a few injuries, mainly from
00:32:00Would Jack's be enough to keep it sealed for long? It was hard to say.
00:32:06But seeing Bluebeard's condition and the blood on Jack, they were running out of time. All that
00:32:13All Lenny could do now was trust the plan and activate it. He grabbed the multicolored crystal and poured his
00:32:19energy in him. "I'm activating the seal," Lenny shouted, his voice cutting through the noise of battle.
00:32:26Chapter 1685 The Last Battle of a Soku. Part 2. The seal that Lenny was activating was
00:32:34indiscriminate. It would attack everyone and everything within the designated area. At the moment
00:32:41Once the signal was sent, a race against time began. The two fighters had to emerge from
00:32:47the annihilation zone as soon as possible, or they would be dragged into the abyss along with the monster. Both Jack and Jack
00:32:54Bluebeard reacted instantly, propelling himself with explosive force to leap backward.
00:33:01As soon as Jack landed on his feet at the edge of the boundary, he didn't just step back, he made sure the trap was set.
00:33:07He would hold. He swung his great hammer with a final, devastating blow. The impact channeled Suki
00:33:14directly into the ground. It created a large section of soil that spiraled upward, twisting and shaking.
00:33:20like a whirlwind of stone. The earth rose up and surrounded the place where a Soku stood,
00:33:27squeezing her legs. Perhaps it only kept a being of his power in place for half
00:33:32second, but in a battle of this magnitude, half a second was enough. Right behind
00:33:39As the fighters stood, Lenny's hands began to glow with an intense, blinding light. Simultaneously,
00:33:46The crystals embedded in the floor around the perimeter lit up in a chain reaction. The whole
00:33:52The ground inside the circle was illuminated with a brilliant white light, transforming the solid rock into
00:33:58A portal of pure energy. Immediately, a Soku felt the change. His body was being absorbed.
00:34:06It almost felt as if a black hole had opened up beneath his feet. The gravitational force was
00:34:13immense, tearing at his body and dragging him into the white void. A Soku did everything he could to
00:34:20resisting, clawing at the empty air. The energy of the red mist seeped from its body in tendrils,
00:34:27trying to pull it back and anchor it to the walls of the surrounding cavern, but the suction was too strong
00:34:33Strong. There was nothing to hold on to, nothing to cling to, because the area of white light
00:34:39was
00:34:39vast and the attraction, absolute. —Arg! What is this? —Soku shouted at the top of his lungs, with his voice
00:34:47distorted by the pressure. He was perplexed by what was happening. He didn't quite understand the nature of
00:34:54This magic. It was ancient and specific. However, amidst her confusion, she could only assume that there was
00:35:02had succeeded thanks to one person in particular. His gaze shifted from the fighters to the woman who
00:35:08She was in the back. "Damn woman! Ever since she arrived, my influence over the others hasn't worked!" she shouted.
00:35:16Soku, realizing his connection to the pack had been severed. And Esteve, who is with
00:35:23she,
00:35:24He hasn't moved. —Well, if I'm going down, I'll have to kill them right there. A Soku was sinking. His legs
00:35:32already
00:35:33They had vanished into the gleaming white ground, swallowed by the seal. However,
00:35:39The upper part of his body was still free. He still had his hands. He was waving his arm in the air.
00:35:45With malice, he unleashed a massive burst of energy. A powerful swipe tore through the air,
00:35:52tearing up the ground in its path, opening a trail of destruction straight toward Bliss and Esteve. The attack
00:35:59It was unexpected. Jack and Bluebeard were still recovering from their retreat and couldn't move in time to
00:36:06intercept him. Lenny was in the back, completely focused on maintaining the seal. Although Bliss was
00:36:12ready to defend itself against more red miasmas or mental attacks, it couldn't do much against a
00:36:18He knew he could withstand a physical attack of this magnitude. There were only three others in the room: Gary, Kai, and Lupus.
00:36:26who could have tried to intercept the attack. However, in their minds, they had all come to
00:36:34The same conclusion as Kai. They stayed put, with their weapons lowered. They shouldn't have gotten involved in this.
00:36:41However much they wanted to help, however hard it was to witness, it was a battle of destiny that
00:36:47They needed to see how things would develop between the parties involved. In that split second, Bliss made a decision.
00:36:54He broke his concentration on the barrier and violently ripped the medallion from Esteve's body.
00:37:01As soon as the metal left his body, Esteve regained his freedom of movement. His instincts
00:37:08They overpowered him and he jumped aside. The clawing attack continued, shattering the stone where they had been.
00:37:14state, but in the end it was all for naught, as both narrowly avoided the fatal blow. There was still no
00:37:21Finished. Unzoku looked ready to launch more claws in his direction with all his last strength,
00:37:28desperate to take someone with him. Seeing this, Jack roared. He wouldn't allow the monster.
00:37:35He attacked his brother again. Jack threw down his greatsword, a weapon he had taken up during the chaos,
00:37:42With all his remaining energy and accumulated ki, he aimed directly at Unzoku. The sword flew with unerring accuracy.
00:37:49It pierced part of Unzoku's chest, striking him in the side with a ghastly crack. The weapon
00:37:56It drove deep there. It wasn't enough to kill a being like him instantly, but clearly
00:38:02It hurt him badly, breaking his concentration. Unzoku's body continued to sink. The light
00:38:10Blanca was now swallowing him up to his waist, then up to his chest. You idiots, all of you,
00:38:17They have become his enemy, the worst person in the world today. Unzoku shouted, his voice filled with
00:38:24poison. Suddenly, the dynamics changed. The red mist that swirled around the cavern began to
00:38:32retreat. Instead of trying to anchor it, he began to head towards Unzoku, hurtling towards him.
00:38:39like a vacuum cleaner. As it was absorbed back into its form, its eyes began to
00:38:45glowed with a piercing, vibrant red as I looked at them all. Ha, ha, ha! I can feel it! I can
00:38:52I feel it! My powers have returned! Unzoku real maniacament. Being isolated in the seal, isolated
00:39:01From the outside world, the power that it had lent or diffused returned to its source. Unzoku then
00:39:08He gestured with his arms, palms open, directly towards Esteve and Jack. Do you think they have
00:39:14Livestock? How can they live in peace after this? Just because I'm leaving? Unzoku shouted, his voice...
00:39:22It vibrated with a dark frequency, heavy with curses. There is no possibility that
00:39:28Let that happen. A strange, alien energy began to be felt in Jack and Esteve's bodies.
00:39:35Instantly. It wasn't an attack of force, but of essence. A tingling sensation ran through them from their fingertips.
00:39:42From their feet to their hair. Energy flowed into them, merging with their DNA. Bliss, observing from a
00:39:50Standing beside her, with the medallion in her hand, she realized what was happening. Her eyes widened.
00:39:57wide apart, horrified. Damn it, Bliss thought as she lunged forward, hoping
00:40:04to meet with Esteve to offer him magical protection. But she was too slow. I will curse you
00:40:11to you and all future generations so that you may live a life of pure misery.
00:40:16Pramo Anzoku. Almost like a pulse, a shockwave of dark action erupted from the hands
00:40:23Unzoku. Konecto. Both Esteve and Jack were lifted off the ground by the invisible force and
00:40:29flung backwards, they crashed against the cavern wall with a dull thud that shook them.
00:40:35The bones. Bliss arrived a second too late. At the same time, the white light shone for the last time. The body
00:40:43Unzoku had completely disappeared into the ground, leaving the cavern silent, except for
00:40:49The victors' ragged breathing. Both alphas slid down the wall, in pain
00:40:55Persistent and heavy questions about exactly what had happened to them. Chapter 1686. A new mission.
00:41:04The group remained motionless, their gaze fixed on the same spot where Unzoku had been moments before.
00:41:11Before. For a long while, no one dared to move or even breathe with difficulty. They felt
00:41:18a discomfort, a tingling in the back of the neck, as if it were about to emerge from the ground in
00:41:24any moment to continue his reign of terror. But he didn't. The dust settled,
00:41:30The magical hum in the air faded away and the earth remained calm. The sealing was a success.
00:41:37They had finally done it. The smiles that slowly spread across their faces were born
00:41:43from the sheer certainty that the nightmare was finally over. For a moment, Esteve and Jack,
00:41:50Brothers pitted against each other by fate, united. Resisting the urge to let go of the old
00:41:56Tensions flared, they clapped their hands, squeezing each other tightly. They were proud.
00:42:03of what they had achieved together. With this, everything should go back to the way it was before, Esteve said.
00:42:10With a tired but relieved voice. At peace. Just the two of us and our people.
00:42:17Jack Asensio Salamant. That's all I've wanted since this started. But the problem
00:42:23"So... what do we call them now? Vampires?" Bluebeard asked, breaking the silence.
00:42:31Will that threat still exist even though he's gone? They have good reason to be worried.
00:42:37Lenny replied as he walked toward the center of the group. As I told you before,
00:42:42That's a completely separate matter. It was something Unzoku was using to deceive them all.
00:42:49to weave their own web of chaos. I will do everything I can to ensure that the matter of the
00:42:55Vampires don't run wild in the shadows. They could encounter these problems again in the
00:43:01future, but I hope they won't be used against you in the same way as today. For now, you can rest.
00:43:08hoping their families were safe. Although Lenny uttered those words with
00:43:14Bluebeard remained strangely silent. She stood to one side, her expression blank.
00:43:21indecipherable. It almost seemed as if she were holding something back, as if she didn't want to ruin the rare moment of
00:43:27The happiness they shared. The group finally emerged from the cave, squinting as they were greeted by the light
00:43:34natural. They began the long journey back to the pack's territory. As they walked,
00:43:40Blis finally spoke, aware that she had important information that couldn't wait.
00:43:46"I want to give one of you the medallion to keep," Blis said, taking out the ancient object.
00:43:53of their robes. The medallion is what allowed them to fight a Soku in the first place. But as they
00:44:00As I said before, it's only sealed, not destroyed. There's a good chance it will return someday.
00:44:07even if it's hundreds of years from now. For the sake of future generations, it's better that
00:44:13Keep that medallion safe. Blis paused for a moment. Her eyes moved between the two.
00:44:20leaders as if I were waiting for them to decide who would carry the burden. I think you should
00:44:25Keep it, Jack, said Esteve, surprising his brother. Of the two, I think the pack of
00:44:33Red Wings will prosper more in the long run. Furthermore, you have an entire city and kingdom that you can...
00:44:39Use it to take care of something like that. You have safe places to store items, like legendary weapons.
00:44:46that you already have in your vault. If it's left in the wild, I'm worried about losing it. Jack accepted the
00:44:53responsibility without further argument. He reached out and took the medallion, holding it firmly in
00:45:00The palm. But as soon as her skin touched the metal, she frowned. She felt powerless.
00:45:07It was strange, because even the most basic beast weapons he had found emitted a
00:45:13There was a buzzing sound of energy when they were touched. This, however, seemed like mere junk.
00:45:19"I can see your face, Jack," Blis replied, noticing his confusion.
00:45:25—When the time comes, I'll come back to visit you. There's much more to be done for that medallion.
00:45:31It will work again. It needs a specific catalyst, but now is not the time.
00:45:37You'll have to make a difficult decision when the time comes. I don't have to tell you.
00:45:43The details now, because the immediate threat from Unzoku has disappeared.
00:45:48As the group made their way back together, the tension that had defined their trip gave way to exhaustion.
00:45:55Silently. Finally, they returned to the edge of Esteve's pack. It was time to say goodbye and
00:46:02to resume their respective lives. Lenny and Blis were the first to prepare for departure. Blis
00:46:09She reiterated that she would be the one to look for Jack when the medallion was ready to receive the touches.
00:46:14In the end, Lenny also took Jack aside for one last word. He promised him that if he found
00:46:21If I had more information or new ways to help Lily with her condition, I would return to the kingdom immediately.
00:46:27to inform you. Just before the two mysterious figures disappeared, they had a
00:46:33One more thing to mention, a warning that hung in the air. Unzoku, in the end, just before the
00:46:40"The seal took effect, it seemed to use its powers on you two," Blis said, looking at Esteve and Jack.
00:46:48I don't know exactly what he was trying to do, but please take note if you notice any changes in your bodies or
00:46:55spirits. It's not something I can decipher just by touching them, and for now they seem to be fine.
00:47:01Honestly, that's why I stayed with you a little longer, just to observe. Just take note of anything
00:47:09Strange thing. After they both left, it was time for Jack and his brother to go their separate ways.
00:47:16There were many apologies, mainly from Jack as he recalled the conflict they had experienced. But everything
00:47:23It was fine. Esteve was a leader and knew he would have to spend the next few weeks calming his pack.
00:47:29and making sure they didn't do anything foolish now that the war was over. The best of
00:47:35The point was that they no longer had to worry about attacking each other. So, what are the three of you going to do?
00:47:41"Now?" Esteve asked, looking at the trio of travelers. The three of them were smiling as they watched.
00:47:48Everyone got along well. It was almost like reading the happy ending of a novel where all the loose ends were tied up.
00:47:55They were tied up and everything was going perfectly. But when Esteve asked the question, the smiles faded
00:48:01They suddenly vanished as if they understood something. "Wait a minute!" Gary shouted, looking around.
00:48:08Frantically. Why the hell are we still trapped here? Unzoku is gone. The seal is in place. Why
00:48:16They haven't sent us back? What the hell is going on? Chapter 1687. Special Event.
00:48:25In the end, the three decided to return with Jack to the kingdom of the red wing. They truly believed that
00:48:33After defeating Unzoku, it would be the last time they needed to do anything in that place. In fact,
00:48:39Even after checking the system, the specific mission to learn how to defeat Unzoku was no longer there.
00:48:45They had completed it. But there was no notification, no flashing light, nothing.
00:48:53mission. So why hadn't they left that space? Why hadn't the world dissolved?
00:49:00their surroundings? Since they believed that the medallion was precisely what had brought them there,
00:49:06They assumed that must be the answer to their return. That's why they were back in the kingdom of the red wing.
00:49:12sitting in the same dimly lit room, staring intently at the amulet on a
00:49:17"It's a wooden table. It doesn't do anything," Gary said, his voice breaking with tiredness and annoyance.
00:49:25We have picked it up, we have been transformed by holding it. We have even tried
00:49:30I twist it like Bliss and use it like her. But nothing works. It's like it has no power left.
00:49:37It's just a cold piece of metal. Do you think Bliss would know that? Lupus asked.
00:49:43looking at her two friends. She was the one who created the medallion she left here, so she would have
00:49:50Knowing how to get back, right? Maybe from Birriamo's, having chased her. If only I knew.
00:49:57I think he would have told us before he left. Kai replied calmly, although his eyes reflected
00:50:02He has the same concern. If the medallion isn't the solution right now, we should return it to him.
00:50:09Give it to Jack to keep safe. If we're still here, maybe there's still something we can do. Something the system still...
00:50:16No
00:50:16He told us. Yes, but if that's the case, why doesn't the system warn us? Gary asked, throwing a punch.
00:50:24at the table. He's usually on our heels, pressuring us to do something. And now, silence. The three of them
00:50:32They racked their brains, desperate to find a solution. They went over every detail of his arrival.
00:50:40They even briefly considered the darkest possibility. Perhaps they needed to become alphas again to
00:50:47that the medallion would work. But the only way to make it work in this world was to kill Jack and Esteve.
00:50:53Even if they were willing to go that far, only two of them would become alphas. And how
00:51:00They were supposed to do it with their powers suppressed. Furthermore, even if this were a fake world or a
00:51:06I remember, trying to kill Jack and Esteve didn't feel right. They were allies. The system probably...
00:51:14I would have assigned a specific mission if such a brutal act were required. We realized
00:51:19that we need to use the medallion to defeat a Soku one way or another. So why
00:51:25No
00:51:25Can we get out of here? Gary shouted, his frustration about to overflow, almost tearing his hair out.
00:51:33My only concern is what might have happened to Slough and the others while we've been gone. Maybe
00:51:39Time is passing differently here. Although at first the other two didn't
00:51:45They were so worried, because of the time that had passed in that space, they were also starting to worry more.
00:51:51If they were absent from the real world for years, what would they have left to return to? Since they couldn't do
00:51:58Nothing for now, and they didn't want to resort to drastic measures for now; they continued living between Jack and
00:52:03their pack. They began training daily, trying to keep their skills sharp. They hoped that,
00:52:11At some point, the space, or the energy that powered it, would simply run out and they would be ejected.
00:52:18automatically. Fortunately, Jack's pack, as well as the other inhabitants of the kingdom,
00:52:25They seemed to be quite welcoming to them now that the situation had been cleared up. Jack had
00:52:31officially declared that a third party had interfered in their affairs and that their new
00:52:36The guests had resolved the threat. One afternoon, while they were simply walking,
00:52:42their usual tasks and training with the other werewolves to pass the time,
00:52:47Galdark approached the three. "I'm surprised," said Galdark, wiping the sweat from his brow.
00:52:54"I'm surprised the three of them are still here. Honestly, I thought they would have left by now."
00:53:00or perhaps they had returned to meet Esteve and the others in the forest.
00:53:05"Well, well, we're just having some problems right now," Kai replied vaguely.
00:53:12It was clear he didn't want to delve into the subject of being trapped in another era. "Well,
00:53:18If they're going to stay, they should at least join the pack properly. They'd feel more like part of it.
00:53:24"Welcome," Galdark said. He stopped abruptly mid-sentence because two of the younger members
00:53:31The members of the herd nearby were getting too rough during an exercise. Galdark
00:53:37He intervened, and his imposing size easily stopped the fight. He told the two of them to go their separate ways.
00:53:44And they calmed down before returning to the others, scratching their heads, confused. "Seriously,
00:53:51Although we no longer have problems with Esteve and his pack, and the unsoku issue is over,
00:53:56It seems like the pack members are fighting a lot more lately. It's giving me a headache.
00:54:02"A tremendous headache," Galdark sighed. "Well, whether you decide to leave or stay, I recommend that you..."
00:54:09"Stay at least until the special event is over." "A special event?" "Inside a
00:54:18In a couple of days, there will be a celebration where we'll eat mooncakes and have a big sale at the
00:54:24market. We had a great time. It's something the whole town celebrates, not just our pack. It's something that
00:54:32"You shouldn't miss it," Galdark explained with a slight smile. "Mooncakes? Aren't they eaten?"
00:54:39"During that tradition?" Gary asked, looking at the other two for answers, with a smirk
00:54:45His eyes frowned as a memory flooded his mind. Kai stopped, his expression startled. His heart
00:54:53It throbbed even more strongly in his chest, a rhythmic drumming that only he could hear. "Of course, the cakes."
00:55:00"They eat moonlit ones when the moon is at its fullest," Kai replied, lowering his voice until
00:55:06to become a whisper. "I think I know why we're trapped here, but I have no idea."
00:55:13"What are we supposed to do about it?" Chapter 1688 The Last Mission
00:55:20Both Lupus and Gary blinked several times when Kai spoke those words aloud.
00:55:27The silence in the room suddenly became thick, and they could even hear Kai's heartbeat.
00:55:33His heart was racing, his heart pounding in a frantic, irregular rhythm. He was genuinely scared, an expression he rarely showed.
00:55:39They saw him. "Wait, if you mean the full moon, is it really such a big deal?"
00:55:46Gary asked, trying to find a weak point in the explanation. "We've taken it beyond the
00:55:52Last full moon and nothing has happened. Nobody has changed." And the pack members themselves already
00:55:59They said the full moon didn't affect them, or at least, they hinted that it was just another night.
00:56:05“You’re right,” Kai said, staring out the window. “But think about it. The person who has the
00:56:12The power to turn others into alphas, the reason why you and Lupus had to make those vows
00:56:18with
00:56:18A soku, it's all because of the full moon curse. It's the source of power and burden." Kai
00:56:25I was walking along the
00:56:26small room, her hands slightly trembling. Back then, Bliss even
00:56:32He mentioned that he wondered if a soku had done something to them with its last attack. Just before
00:56:38to be sealed, a soku shouted that he would literally curse them. "At some point, the curse of the
00:56:45The full moon must come to pass for these werewolves. Without a soku, their final act of vengeance.
00:56:51"It has to be this one. It could only be this moment." Then everyone understood. The logic was
00:56:59Solid and terrifying. Perhaps because they had been so focused on getting rid of a soku and searching
00:57:06They hadn't given much thought to what would happen next, to how they would get out of that place. They had assumed
00:57:12that the battle was the end, but they were still in this world for a reason. So, tomorrow night,
00:57:19When the full moon rises, everyone will be forced to transform for the first time and into a state
00:57:26"Bloody," Gary said, lowering his voice. "And they'll be in the middle of a city full of people. It'll be chaos."
00:57:34Absolutely. They'll kill a lot of people. Not only that. This city has guards and they have Bluebird and
00:57:42"Their knights," added Lupus, pale. "The knights will not know that, at the end of the night,
00:57:49The werewolves will cease their rage and return. You will see monsters massacring civilians. It is very likely.
00:57:56that a large part of the pack dies in the crossfire. A soku's last gift is in his
00:58:02The worst time because nobody knows what's coming. And the same goes for Esteve and his pack. At least
00:58:09They are far from the city. But the villagers who are nearby and all the trust they had built
00:58:14"For years, it will just vanish like that." Part of Kai wondered how, in a world where the
00:58:22Werewolves were eventually more accepted, but they ended up being forgotten and feared, and they needed
00:58:28To hide again in the modern age. Perhaps he had just found the answer. This was the point
00:58:34of inflection. "I suppose we're still here because the medallion still wants to show us that it happened in
00:58:41"That moment," Kai replied. "If I'm not mistaken, tomorrow, when the day comes, we'll finally receive
00:58:48"A system mission." "But what will the mission be?" "I ask, Lupus. Save the city? Kill..."
00:58:56"Our friends? I have no idea," Gary replied, looking at his hands. "First of all,
00:59:04We must also consider ourselves. Although we are not originally from this world, we are also human beings.
00:59:10Wolf. Now that the curse has been activated for everyone, will the same thing happen to the three of us tomorrow? How
00:59:17"Are we supposed to help people if we can't control ourselves?" This was a thought.
00:59:23It was terrifying, something Kai hadn't even considered until that moment. He had simply assumed that
00:59:29It wouldn't affect them, since they were the protagonists of this memory, but they really had to consider
00:59:35all possibilities. If they transformed, they would only be three more monsters on the streets.
00:59:42“We can’t let all this go on,” Gary said, standing up and clenching his fists. “I know that
00:59:50We now know that the chances of this being a real world are false, but for them it is real.
00:59:56"The interactions, the conversations we've had with these people, aren't just data." Gary
01:00:04He looked at his friends. "We've seen these people cry, laugh, and even get angry over the most trivial things."
01:00:10small ones. If they lose their loved ones, if Jack and the others are responsible for killing those of this
01:00:17city, then these versions of themselves will feel that they have actually committed a crime.
01:00:23They'll never recover from that. We have to stop them. We have to tell Jack and Esteve what will happen.
01:00:30"Tomorrow. And we have a way to stop it," Gary continued, his mind racing. "While
01:00:37If they have little energy and are locked in dungeons, they won't be able to harm anyone. Only
01:00:44"We have to convince them." "And do you really think they'll accept it?" Lupus asked skeptically.
01:00:51"A big festival is coming up, a night when nothing bad has ever happened to them. Do you think Jack and
01:00:58Will his pack, and even Esteve and his own, listen to us and lock themselves in cages?” “Maybe not.”
01:01:05Gary said, heading for the door. "But I've never given up just because something seems difficult."
01:01:11I'm going to tell you everything and we'll find a way to stop this massacre."
01:01:18Chapter 1689 Trusting Each Other. The end of the day was approaching, and the group, along with Gary,
01:01:26They had to decide exactly how to frame the impending disaster. They knew they couldn't
01:01:31They simply had to be strategic to predict the future. Once the firm decision was made,
01:01:38They waited until the following morning. When the sun finally rose on the day of the event, the
01:01:44Time to do what was necessary. They had agreed on a split strategy. Gary and Lupus would go together to
01:01:52Convince Jack by telling him everything that was happening in the city. Meanwhile, Kai would go to the pack.
01:01:59Esteve's house on the outskirts. Although Kai used to listen attentively to what the medallion was trying to show them,
01:02:05Preferring to act only when they received official missions, he listened to Gary's request. There was a
01:02:11The one person Kai never challenged when asked to, and that was Gary. Kai knew when he couldn't.
01:02:18to convince Gary to change his mind, and he understood that disagreeing with a plan didn't mean
01:02:24that he should do things his way. In Kai's mind, this was a reactive world. He acted
01:02:31like a real world, just as Gary had argued. His actions caused the characters to act
01:02:38in a different way, creating ripples in the present moment. But, as Bliss had explained earlier,
01:02:45They were being guided and brought to this specific memory and to this world for a reason. Kai...
01:02:51It was a concern that, by interfering too much, they might not get to the bottom of that reason and would become trapped.
01:02:58However, listening to Gary hadn't done any harm to him or the howlers in the
01:03:04past, so now he would trust his instincts. Using Galdark as a mediator, Gary and Lupus summoned
01:03:12an urgent meeting with Jack. To his relief, Jack agreed immediately. The two of them, along with Kai,
01:03:20They were the main reason for peace between the factions, and Jack was in a very good mood.
01:03:25The festival day was a massive event for everyone, a time to enjoy themselves, where they could
01:03:32They ate as much as they wanted and celebrated their survival. When Gary and Lupus saw the wide and innocent
01:03:38The smile on Jack's face made it even harder for them to talk to him. They felt like they were being...
01:03:45It was about destroying the only joy they had left, but they had to do it. There's something we need to tell you,
01:03:51And it's very important that you listen to us until the end. Gary said, his voice slightly
01:03:57Broken by the weight of the secret, she spoke of what they feared would happen that night when she left.
01:04:03the full moon. He explained the nature of the transformation and why it would occur, blaming
01:04:08Finally, it all came down to Unsoku's last and most malicious curse. For now, Gary kept the conversation going.
01:04:15about the future at a minimum. However, he explained that they had seen exactly the same thing in their own
01:04:22distant village. He claimed that they only recently realized it was the work of Unsoku,
01:04:27And now they believed the same curse had befallen Jack's pack. Although Esteve
01:04:33She gladly accepted the fact that they were from the future; they didn't know if Jack would have the same open mind.
01:04:39Therefore, they had to stick to a more solid and convincing story.
01:04:44"We decided to tell them because I think it's very likely that this is what will happen to both of them."
01:04:48"Tonight," Gary said, looking Jack in the eye. "Even if you don't believe us, don't you think it's better?"
01:04:55Prevention is better than cure? With our preparation method, at least you can be safe.
01:05:01"Just in case we're right." Gary finally stopped, his heart racing. Galdark too.
01:05:08He was in the room. He had heard everything, and both he and Jack remained in a state
01:05:15with silent disbelief at the whole thing. "Thanks to both of you for telling me this," Jack said to the
01:05:21She stood up, her expression shifting from joy to stern determination. "I think that
01:05:27We should warn everyone quickly. I know the pack won't be too happy about it, especially today.
01:05:34But it's for the good of the entire kingdom and everyone." "Wait, do you really believe us?" Gary asked.
01:05:42Her eyes widened in surprise. She had expected to spend hours arguing. She had more to say.
01:05:49prepared, more tests and plans that might have been necessary to convince the alpha. It was
01:05:56I was genuinely surprised that it had been so easy to convince them. "Of course," Jack replied.
01:06:02with simplicity. "The three of you have done so much for the good of our packs. You have always done what
01:06:09which is in their best interest to help us. And as you said, in the worst-case scenario, nothing happens, and that
01:06:16us
01:06:16Let's miss a party. Next month we'll be better prepared and can run tests, but for now,
01:06:23We must do what you say and use the best method to protect people. The reason why
01:06:29Jack
01:06:29I knew it would be difficult because the method Gary suggested was brutal. Leaving the men
01:06:35Wolves without energy, starving them. On a holiday meant to be enjoyed, trying to force them
01:06:41Forcing a pack of hungry wolves to fast would cause many problems and a possible rebellion. What Gary
01:06:48What Lupus didn't know was that, at that very moment, Kai had approached Esteve and his pack with
01:06:55the same
01:06:55Warning. Esteve listened with a weary expression. His reaction was similar to Jack's.
01:07:01"I thought this wouldn't end with just one soku. It seems we have one more matter to resolve."
01:07:08Esteve said, looking at his villagers. "But we have a small problem. Kai." Esteve pointed toward the
01:07:16town square. "The feast has already begun, and half of my flock has already eaten their fill,
01:07:23And there's another problem. Chapter 1690
01:07:27"Solving the problem." Kai knew the situation wasn't going to be easy. Upon learning of
01:07:34Since Esteve had heeded their warnings so quickly, he thought they would run into another
01:07:39wall of resistance. That's certainly how it seemed now, standing in the center of the village, waiting to hear
01:07:46Esteve's other concerns. "Some werewolves are on a mission,"
01:07:52Esteve explained, scanning the horizon. "I can try to get someone to locate them and
01:07:59I'll tell them to come back immediately, but there's no guarantee we'll find them all before then.
01:08:04midnight." Kai realized the sad reality of Esteve's pack. Unlike the wolves of
01:08:11Jack, Esteve's followers used to be out in the wild carrying out missions to increase their
01:08:17reputation and earning a living. This was a blow they would simply have to accept. Some men
01:08:24Wolves would be caught in the open, alone and unchained, when the moon reached its zenith.
01:08:30splendor. "Then there is a second problem, related to what you said about the 'method
01:08:36"From hunger," Esteve continued, lowering his voice an octave. "Although we can expend our energy
01:08:42Now, let's try training together to make sure everyone is tired and
01:08:47hungry before the moon rises. What happens then? The werewolves will be exhausted,
01:08:54hungry, and I suppose they'll be extremely agitated." The reason Esteve said
01:09:01She spoke these words with such gravity because she had already noticed the change. Even without the full moon.
01:09:07Visibly, some werewolves were already showing themselves to be more aggressive and nervous than ever. "These guys don't
01:09:14"They have experienced a real, ravenous hunger they haven't experienced in a long time," Esteve warned. "I can't guarantee
01:09:21that everyone can restrain themselves once the beast takes control. And when they finally eat,
01:09:27As you told me, they will transform. Since the rest of us cannot transform to match their level
01:09:33"Strength, who will be left to stop them?" Kai swallowed hard at those words. He remembered his own
01:09:40group going through those difficult times in the modern world, but back then, the scale was
01:09:46Very small. It was a limited number of people he could personally control. Here, they spoke
01:09:54From two entire packs, hundreds of potential monsters. Then, he remembered a tactic of the
01:10:01past. "Don't they have anywhere to chain themselves up?" Preguntqui. "Somewhere to hold on to even if they lose the
01:10:08"Control of his mind?" Esteve thought about it for a long time, weighing the strength of his men against
01:10:15the local architecture. "Ordinary iron chains won't do," Esteve replied. "They'll break."
01:10:22in an instant, as soon as his adrenaline kicks in. But the chains, made of beastly materials,
01:10:29Those specifically designed to hold monsters would work, at least for most people.
01:10:35From the pack, they might do. We don't have enough of those chains here in the village, but the kingdom
01:10:42The Red Wing will have them in their armory. They even have a network of underground tunnels.
01:10:48built for sieges." Although it was the only viable solution to the situation, Kai knew that
01:10:54It meant allowing the two rival herds to meet and occupy the same space. It was the
01:11:00A perfect recipe for a bloodbath if things went wrong. "Okay, I guess you and I
01:11:07"We have a lot of work to do," Esteve said, giving Kai a firm, encouraging pat on the back.
01:11:13on his back. "What do you mean?" Kai asked, feeling a little scared. "Well, like I said,
01:11:21The best way for them to burn off energy is by fighting. So we'll have to train with them quite a bit.
01:11:27We need to force them to get serious and exhaust their stamina. I can't do it alone.
01:11:34It would take too long. And we can't start a fight like that within the walls of the kingdom of
01:11:40Red Wing. Right? In the Red Wing kingdom, Jack and his pack were making similar preparations. They had
01:11:48reached the same conclusion. They needed to be underground. They began to explore the routes of the
01:11:55dungeons, searching for large, reinforced caverns deep within the earth. They worked
01:12:01frantically searching for the strongest pillars and objects that could be used as
01:12:06anchors for the beast-grade chains. They needed to make sure that not even a transformed alpha
01:12:13could easily escape. In addition to the physical preparations, Jack had taken a step
01:12:18crucial. They sent Lily to Bluebeard to take care of her directly. The situation had been
01:12:25The instructions were explained to the knight, but Bluebeard was ordered to do nothing directly. He was to maintain
01:12:32His knights are ready to act only as a last resort. Bluebeard's sole priority.
01:12:37It was about protecting his family and Lily at all costs, even if it meant sealing the doors of
01:12:43the dungeon and let the wolves tear each other apart. Soon, the news reached the castle of the
01:12:50Esteve and his pack arrived. Without wasting any time, Kai took Esteve to the war room and...
01:12:56he explained
01:12:57The situation to Jack. "There's not much more we can do than cooperate," Jack said, his face grim. "We have
01:13:04who must also accept their pack. The underground dungeons are quite large. There are several
01:13:11large caverns that can be used. My pack and Esteve's can still do it, but we will stay
01:13:17in separate sectors to avoid any territorial disputes." It seemed like a solid plan.
01:13:22In theory, but Gary wondered. If they ended up in a senseless fit of rage, who would they turn to?
01:13:29Would the hungry werewolves attack first? Would they sense Lily, the vampire and their enemy?
01:13:35natural? Would they dig upwards, towards the humans above, as their source?
01:13:41of the nearest food source? Or would they cross the stone walls to reach the herd?
01:13:46Rival in the next cave? Anyway, it was an answer Gary hoped they wouldn't have.
01:13:52to discover that night.
