00:00:00My Werewolf System. Chapters 1691 to 1700. Chapter 1691 Are We a Problem?
00:00:09The festival had already begun, although the sun had not yet completely set over the horizon.
00:00:16On the surface, the city was a hive of color and noise. There was a great deal of activity in
00:00:22Each street was filled with vendors shouting to each other to announce deals and big discounts.
00:00:28absorbed. The whole city was lively, buzzing with that kind of enthusiasm that only happens once in a while.
00:00:35per year. But while all this was happening, the werewolves of both packs were forced to work
00:00:42Reluctantly, they entered the dungeon through several sealed entrances, hidden in the darkness.
00:00:49the foundations of the city. They found two enormous neighboring caverns and immediately began to
00:00:55Gather the necessary supplies to build their cages. There was equipment that Gary and the others had never had.
00:01:02They had seen. They weren't simple iron shackles. The chains of beastly quality were tools of
00:01:09Specialized weapons, with strong spikes at the ends enchanted by wizards. When they strike the stone,
00:01:15The magic allowed the spikes to merge with the ground. According to Jack's explanation,
00:01:21The enchantment made the anchor points as strong as the chains themselves. Unless
00:01:27that a werewolf could be physically stronger than the beast's reinforced metal, they couldn't
00:01:33to pull the spikes from the wall. Magic, it seemed, was even more amazing and useful than some of the
00:01:41technologies they had in their time. While the werewolves finished assembling the two
00:01:46At the campsites, the trio had to have one last important conversation. "Kai, you look a little
00:01:53"Tired," Lupus observed, looking at his pale face. "Of course, I had to keep fighting and eating,
00:02:00"And then fighting and eating nonstop against Esteve's pack," Kai blurted out, even though there was no
00:02:07outburst of anger. And then, when we finally told them why we were doing this, they complained and threw a tantrum.
00:02:14scandal. "Do you know how we had to make them obedient? Esteve and I had to give them another one
00:02:20They were beaten just so they could be chained up. I'm extremely exhausted, both mentally and physically.
00:02:28"I guess that's okay," Gary said vociferously. "Closer to the moment, we'll both have to do
00:02:35The same. Perhaps we should try fighting again to exhaust what's left." Lupus smiled,
00:02:42He was clearly enjoying the idea of a good workout, but then he paused.
00:02:47"Do we really have to worry about that? We're not of this world. I know we're not sure about
00:02:54Whether it will affect us or not, and prevention is better than cure, but I have a feeling we won't have
00:03:00No problem even if we have energy. We can't do things based solely on
00:03:06"Feelings," Calle responded instinctively, as his eyes scanned the cavern for
00:03:12of weak points. "Wait, but what does he mean?" Gary interjected. "I remember the feeling of the
00:03:20Full moon of the past. Honestly, if the moon affected us in this world, I think we'd already be...
00:03:27agitated. We would feel more powerful as we approached midnight.” Gary looked at
00:03:34ceiling, as if I could see through miles of rock. "It's just like you said, right? We're here."
00:03:41Because we're supposed to be observing something. How could we observe something if we were angry?
00:03:47"Like werewolves along with everyone else?" Kai had to admit that Gary was right. He felt
00:03:54The same. The beast inside him was silent. Still, the variable of what would have happened if
00:04:01It was powerful. If they converted, who would be left to stop them from destroying the city? I am...
00:04:09Agreed, but remember one thing we were warned about. If we die here, we'll really die. "I think that
00:04:16"That's absolutely true," Kai replied. "And if we transformed, we wouldn't be as strong as..."
00:04:23We tend to be like that in the real world. I'm sure the gentlemen would do everything they could to
00:04:29"Get rid of us." The sun had already set on them, and the party was in full swing.
00:04:36He lit a huge bonfire in the center of the village, casting long, flickering shadows
00:04:42against the buildings. People were already beginning to gather in the streets, waiting for the moment
00:04:48The celebration was nearing its climax, but the atmosphere wasn't entirely normal. Some citizens were beginning
00:04:55noticing the gaps in the crowd. "Hey, I haven't seen Jack or any of his pack this time."
00:05:01night." "It's not good," another replied, taking a sip of his drink. "This is the only day that
00:05:09They tend to let loose and cause a ruckus." They've done well to earn their place in this city, but their
00:05:15Their behavior during this festival is the only thing that always hurts their chances with the public. Of course,
00:05:22Perhaps this year they simply decided to relax or have their own private event. It suits them if
00:05:28"They want to please everyone. But I noticed something else," whispered a merchant, glancing towards the castle.
00:05:35"This time there are many more guards and gentlemen in the street." Why is that? There was almost an hour to go.
00:05:42By midnight. Everyone downstairs was gathered in their respective corners of darkness. They were
00:05:50closing the last chains, and soon the trio would have to chain themselves together as well. They were heading towards
00:05:56the wall when, suddenly, a sharp sound echoed in their minds. All three received the same messages
00:06:04Bright lights from the system at once. Protect the kingdom of the red-winged werewolves. It won't affect you.
00:06:11The full moon. Your powers are no longer suppressed. Chapter 1692. The shackles of choice.
00:06:20Kai had been checking his mental interface every few minutes, almost expecting a notification
00:06:26The system would flicker in his vision as soon as the sun began to set over the horizon.
00:06:32anticipated that the parameters of their mission would change at dawn or right at midnight,
00:06:36But the moment was no longer relevant, and at the very least, a little strange. The messages that
00:06:43They finally manifested in his mind and were so impactful that they changed the very foundations of
00:06:48their strategy. The system provided two distinct and powerful updates that changed
00:06:54Everything. First, the threat of the full moon, the primal and uncontrollable urge to transform
00:07:01And losing their humanity had been neutralized for them. Tonight, they were immune to madness.
00:07:08lunar. This was a monumental relief. It meant they no longer had to endure the agonizing
00:07:14Pre-moon fasting to keep their bestial parts dormant. They could eat, recover, and more
00:07:21Importantly, they could act as a stable vanguard if the city descended into chaos. But
00:07:28It was the second message that really made Kai's heart beat strongly against his
00:07:33ribs. The repression is lifted. The invisible weight that had been crushing their potential since
00:07:40They arrived at this era, the buffer field that had made their muscles feel like
00:07:45The lead and his dulled senses had disappeared. Is that true?
00:07:50Sucero Lupus. He clenched his fists, his eyes widening as he felt a surge of brute force and
00:07:57unrestrained, returning to her hands. She squeezed so hard the air seemed to explode in her
00:08:03Clapping. I feel it. I feel like I could destroy the whole world. I feel it too. Is it real?
00:08:12Kai answered. As a special kind of person, his power was tied to the presence of others of his kind.
00:08:18In the high-density environment of the dungeon, surrounded by hundreds of werewolves, a wave
00:08:25A massive surge of energy flooded his system. His specialized class abilities vibrated.
00:08:31awakening from his forced slumber. For Gary, the realization was even more visceral. His vision
00:08:38It faded as she saw the full system interface. The darkened icons of her abilities
00:08:44They suddenly glowed with lethal potential. He could see their stats, their health bar, and
00:08:51The passive nighttime buffs included in his class. Judging by your face, you're the same, aren't you?
00:08:58Kai commented, as he watched Gary's gaze sweep across the invisible floating screens.
00:09:04You've got it all back. To a certain extent, Gary replied, frowning as
00:09:11I was browsing the menus. There are still empty sections. Everything related to my alpha status is...
00:09:19Restricted. I suppose it's because the world still recognizes us as omegas because of the color of our...
00:09:25Their eyes met. They looked at each other, acknowledging the bittersweet reality. They had regained their personal strength.
00:09:32But the hierarchy in this world was absolute. Abilities like the alpha bite were blocked.
00:09:39through a red wall of system errors. Gary couldn't even access the package link for
00:09:45allocate pawn points or check the status of your members at home. But remember what I said.
00:09:52Kai warned, lowering his voice to a serious tone. The system is trying to tell us something. If we have recovered
00:10:00Our powers are needed because we will need them. Protecting the kingdom from the red wing tonight means
00:10:07Things were going to get complicated. Very complicated. The three nodded sadly. The mission was over.
00:10:14from rising from a nanny job to a potential war zone. However, they faced a
00:10:21Immediate obstacle. Jack and Esteve. They had to convince the alphas that there was no danger in
00:10:27leaving them unsupervised, despite the terrifying reputation of werewolves on a full moon
00:10:33that they had just been informed. How are we going to do that? Lupus asked, looking at the heavy
00:10:39Iron gates. We can't, Kai said flatly. Jack may trust us, but the others in
00:10:47The room would raise a ruckus if they saw the three of us loose while everyone else was
00:10:52Locked up. It would seem like favoritism, or worse, a conspiracy. No, we're sticking to the plan. We're going to
00:11:01Eat now to regain your strength, then we'll go back and let them tie us up. If the situation gets complicated,
00:11:08We simply break the chains. They approached Jack, who already looked haggard from the stress of
00:11:15The imminent moonrise. Now he trusted them. His previous suspicion had been replaced.
00:11:21out of the desperate hope that these three unknown men knew what they were doing.
00:11:27He granted them one last respite to leave for a short time. They gorged themselves, and Gary felt that his
00:11:34The stamina and energy bars filled to 100% and the sluggishness disappeared. Upon returning to the
00:11:40In the dungeons, the atmosphere had changed. The armored doors creaked shut behind them.
00:11:47and the sound of the heavy bolts closing echoed through the damp stone corridors.
00:11:53Kai chose to go to the section where Esteve was. He had already given those prisoners a good beating.
00:12:00He figured he wouldn't feel so bad about giving them more bruises if they tried to escape. Besides,
00:12:07Kai was the fastest of the three. If the prisoners escaped in several directions,
00:12:12He was the most suitable to hunt them down in the labyrinthine corridors. It takes about 10 minutes to run from
00:12:19From one section to the next at full speed, Gary calculated, looking at the stone walls as if he could see
00:12:25Through them. Lupus, you are the intermediary. If the situation is stable, move between the two.
00:12:33sectors and supports the side that's struggling. And since when did you become my alpha?
00:12:40Lupus joked, giving Gary a light punch on the shoulder. It was a brief moment of peace.
00:12:46before nightfall. They approached their assigned positions
00:12:52on the wall. The other werewolves were already chained in a circle against the cold rock,
00:12:58His breathing was rapid and rhythmic. Gary lifted the heavy handcuffs. He put two on his wrists,
00:13:06Two on his ankles and a thick necklace around his neck. He leaned back against the stone,
00:13:11feeling the bite of the metal. Around him, the air filled with sounds of suffering.
00:13:18Some wolves whimpered in anticipation of pain; their bodies were already fighting against something. Others growled.
00:13:25He hurled insults at his neighbors, trying to lash out despite the chains. Gary closed his eyes,
00:13:31Concentrating on the stopwatch that gleamed in the corner of her eye. The seconds ticked by and the
00:13:37The ambient light in the dungeon seemed to pulse with a pale, silvery glow. The moon is in its
00:13:43Fullest point. Chapter 1693. The lunar pulse. At the instant the system message appeared
00:13:52In Gary's vision, the air in the cavern experienced a violent, almost tectonic movement.
00:13:58They were deep underground, protected by tons of earth and the
00:14:04Ancient magical stones from the foundations of the red-winged kingdom. However, their presence
00:14:10The moon's presence felt like an overwhelming physical weight. It wasn't just light; it was a gravitational pull on us.
00:14:18the soul. It began as an internal pulse, a deep, rhythmic heartbeat that suddenly
00:14:24It accelerated. The blood, thick and hot, began to rush through the veins of the others with a force
00:14:31which sounded like liquid fire. He could hear it in the ears of every werewolf in the room.
00:14:37The frantic beating of hearts reaching a peak. The moans transformed into
00:14:44guttural and metallic cries of agony echoed off the jagged walls of the cavern.
00:14:49It was a cacophony of primal terror, the sound of bones breaking and reforming into something
00:14:55Predator. The werewolves who had been calm, resigned to their fate just moments ago
00:15:01A few seconds later, they arched their backs so violently that their spines threatened to
00:15:07piercing his skin. Jack, pinned to the center of the wall by his heavy shackles, felt the surge.
00:15:14His heart pounded against his ribs like a trapped bird. The three
00:15:20They were right, Jack thought, clenching his jaw so hard he could feel his teeth grinding.
00:15:27I feel an urgency inside me, a hunger that feels like an emptiness. I want to move. I want
00:15:34To tear the metal from these walls and savor the cold air from above, perhaps even more so. Jack possessed the
00:15:41The iron will of a veteran, a mental fortitude forged through years of leadership.
00:15:47He refused to let the beast take control, forcing his breathing to a slow and measured rhythm.
00:15:53Despite the sweat running down his face. But as he looked around, he realized
00:15:59sadness
00:15:59that his pack did not share his discipline. They did not have the years of war to temper their blood.
00:16:05Several people nearby had already fallen to their knees, despite being chained up.
00:16:12The transformation began at the extremities. A rough, wire-like fur sprouted from them.
00:16:19knuckles. The muscles expanded with disgusting, wet crackling sounds as the shape
00:16:24The human body shed like an old suit. Its entire skeletal structure transformed.
00:16:30His legs broke and reverted to the digitigrade posture of a wolf. What's happening? Jack shouted.
00:16:37Her voice was barely audible above the roar of the cavern. We were all exhausted. We spent the day in
00:16:44We trained in the pits until we couldn't anymore. Help us. We did everything. How are you doing?
00:16:52transforming some? In Jack's pack, there were more non-combatants than warriors. Ordinary people who
00:16:59They lived their daily lives as bakers, blacksmiths, and laborers. They were the soul of the red-winged kingdom.
00:17:05But they were not warriors. They were indebted to Jack and obeyed his orders to go to the dungeon.
00:17:12But many simply didn't believe the danger was real. They had never transformed into anything before.
00:17:18A festival night. Why would tonight be any different? Many had cheated. Those who hadn't
00:17:25They endured the overwhelming hunger of fasting, having eaten in secret, consuming pieces of meat.
00:17:31dry, feigning exhaustion while their stomachs were full of the same energy as the moon now
00:17:37It used to fuel its metamorphosis. Even the fighters had miscalculated. Without an interface of
00:17:44Systems like Gary's, used to record his exact energy levels, had interrupted his training
00:17:51When they felt tired, they didn't realize that a werewolf's body is an immense battery.
00:17:57capacity. They still retained a reserve of primal power within them that they had not even
00:18:02Touched. The chains began to screech. A sharp, metallic protest. The enchanted barbs that
00:18:10The spikes the kingdom's wizards had driven into the rock began to creak. These spikes were designed
00:18:16to restrain beasts. As the newly transformed monsters lunged forward,
00:18:22The spikes began to slide from the ancient rock, centimeter by centimeter, leaving traces.
00:18:29of gray dust. Lupus! Gary's voice cut through the chaos, amplified by his recovered stats.
00:18:36"I know," roared Lupus. He harnessed his newly unleashed power and willingly unleashed his
00:18:44Partial transformation. His biceps bulged, and his fur bristled with a dark, healthy sheen.
00:18:51Upon reaching its maximum power, with a sudden and explosive burst of tension, it flexed.
00:18:58The metal shackle that held his right wrist stretched, creaking before
00:19:04break. He didn't stop. He tore off the other shackles and ripped off the heavy collar of the
00:19:10The neck swung with a fluid motion. The heavy beast chains fell to the ground, sparking.
00:19:16against the stone. Two nearby werewolves had already pulled their anchors from the wall. No longer
00:19:23They were the peaceful citizens Jack knew. They were hulking, tall, drooling monsters.
00:19:29with eyes that shone with predatory madness. They didn't even look at their comrades,
00:19:34They ran towards the tunnel exit, driven by the need to kill. Gary and Lupus were moving
00:19:41like two rays of shadow. Their speed, now completely unleashed, was astonishing to the naked eye.
00:19:49sight. In an instant, they crossed the 50-meter gap. They jumped simultaneously, and their silhouettes
00:19:57They momentarily obscured the torch's faint light. They caught the escaping werewolves.
00:20:03through the skulls mid-stride. The ground beneath their feet cracked into a spiderweb of deep
00:20:10cracks appeared when Gary and Lupus smashed the beasts' heads against the ground. The impact was so
00:20:16a powerful blast that sent a visible shockwave through the room, momentarily stunning the others
00:20:22Wolves still struggling with their chains. As the dust settled, the two stood upright.
00:20:29Gary's fur was a rough, earthy brown, while Lupus's was black.
00:20:35They radiated an aura of dominance, an alpha-level pressure, that made even one hesitate for a moment
00:20:41"To the mindless beasts in the room. It's like Kai said." Gary grunted, his voice deep.
00:20:48which seemed to vibrate even the air of the cavern. "Things aren't going to be easy," he looked at his
00:20:55around. His enhanced vision, now at one hundred percent, calculated the threat with clinical precision.
00:21:02More than fifty werewolves had already fully transformed, and the sound of the
00:21:07Iron spikes sliding from the ancient rock were becoming a deafening din and
00:21:13rhythmic. Chapter 1694 Breaking Free. The situation in the neighboring cavern, located a short distance from
00:21:21Where Gary and Lupus were fighting for their lives, things were deteriorating at a similar rate. Kai was
00:21:27chained in the resonating space, while his eyes scanned the rows of prisoners with
00:21:33a growing sense of dread. He could see that several members of the pack had already arrived at his
00:21:39limit. The transformation was beginning. It was much more extensive than I had calculated.
00:21:45Initially, at least twenty of them were in various stages of transformation.
00:21:51towards their primal, bestial forms. "How is this happening right now?" Kai thought.
00:21:58frantically searching for a logical explanation. "I know these guys. I fought some of them."
00:22:05Again and again. Did they manage to steal any food while we weren't looking? There were many moments when
00:22:12We were distracted, and we just had the confidence to keep going. Or maybe they simply weren't there.
00:22:19as physically exhausted as they led us to believe. Whatever the cause, the observation period
00:22:26It had happened. It was time for Kai to act. It was clear that if he didn't intervene immediately,
00:22:33The strength of twenty werewolves transforming would be enough to break the heavy chains that bound him
00:22:38They were attached to the walls of the cavern. Taking a deep breath, Kai raised his hands. He felt the familiar
00:22:45A surge of power surged as his fur began to grow, but it didn't stop there. He connected with another source.
00:22:52deep within his ability. Simultaneously, an icy frost began to radiate from his palms,
00:22:59surrounding the metal handcuffs that held his wrists. The extreme cold cracked the iron as
00:23:05Instantly. With a sudden jerk, he broke the metal, freeing himself easily. He reached out,
00:23:13He grabbed the heavy collar around his neck and ripped it off before throwing it into the
00:23:18from the cave. The werewolves who had not yet begun to transform watched him in amazement.
00:23:25Absolutely. For many, the sight was impossible. They had never seen a werewolf in action.
00:23:31elemental powers in such a direct and controlled way. Some of the most veteran members
00:23:37They had heard legends of ancient alphas capable of manifesting the main traits of beasts
00:23:42that they consumed. But such things were considered myths, stories told to puppies, not something
00:23:48that could be seen in person. And, as far as everyone here was concerned, Kai wasn't even an alpha. Yet
00:23:56I can
00:23:56I can access some of my elemental powers, but I'm not sure I can reach my true form.
00:24:02"Alpha, while I'm in this world, even though my powers aren't being suppressed here," Kai analyzed.
00:24:08with a surprisingly calm mind despite the chaos. To be honest, it's probably the
00:24:14Better. If I were to transform completely, I would probably fall into a state of madness and bloodlust.
00:24:22I have to stay focused and do everything I can not to kill any of these. They keep coming.
00:24:28being part of his pack. Kai didn't waste a second. He ran towards one of the werewolves that was writhing.
00:24:35against their bonds, the chains creaking under the tension of the growing muscles of the
00:24:41beast. Kai pressed his palm firmly against the iron spike stuck in the cavern floor and
00:24:47He exhaled with concentration. While his elemental powers were undeniably strong, they weren't enough
00:24:54Lupus's pure mastery. To achieve the necessary freezing power, Kai had to maintain contact.
00:25:01with the objects he wanted to solidify. He watched as the frost slid over the spikes,
00:25:07driving them deeper into the permafrost. Once the ties were reinforced, Kai moved to
00:25:14to intercept a werewolf that had already completed its transformation. The beast attacked
00:25:20With a direct and lethal swipe, but Kai was faster. He ducked smoothly and extended his hand
00:25:26to grab the creature's foot. He channeled his energy through his grip, trapping the
00:25:32limb in a thick block of ice that fused it to the cave floor. Although they are
00:25:38driven by an intense hunger and drawing their power from some kind of deep, primal will,
00:25:43They're not at their full potential, Kai pointed out. They're too exhausted from the journey and the lack of
00:25:50Food. In fact, that makes them more dangerous in another way. They are unpredictable and desperate.
00:25:58I was hoping the extra ice would be enough to keep them stable a little longer, but it wasn't.
00:26:04I had illusions about how long it would last. I'm not sure if this will keep them going all night.
00:26:11Are we really supposed to keep fighting them until the sun comes up without any support?
00:26:16Kai moved like lightning, heading for the next group of werewolves. He was working
00:26:23systematically, freezing their restraints or limbs wherever possible. Some required more
00:26:30energy that others had, but it was a matter of numbers. With so many werewolves escaping at once, it was
00:26:37It was only a matter of time before one of them managed to break free completely before he could
00:26:42He tried to reach them. The sound of breaking metal was the first thing he heard. Kai turned his head quickly.
00:26:49toward the noise. It was coming from the opposite side of the cave. A completely transformed wolf had
00:26:56He'd broken his chains and was already on the move. Let's see where he decides to go first, Kai thought, preparing to
00:27:04To pursue him, there were two main exits from this area. One path led into the tunnels towards the
00:27:12another pack and the other alpha, while the stairs led directly to the settlement
00:27:17human upstairs. As he watched, the fugitive werewolf didn't hesitate. He lunged towards the stairs,
00:27:26Driven by the scent of fresh prey. To intercept him before he reached the door and
00:27:31If anything threatened the humans, Kai transformed completely into a wolf. He landed on all fours, with the
00:27:38His muscles tensed and relaxed as he ran across the uneven ground. He shortened the distance in
00:27:44seconds. As soon as it reached the rogue werewolf, it bit hard on the back of his leg,
00:27:51using his neck muscles to throw it down the stairs. Kai noticed something then. His own
00:27:57His strength increased considerably. Being surrounded by so many werewolves seemed to act as a catalyst.
00:28:05He enhanced his abilities until he felt even stronger. I guess I'll have to keep going.
00:28:10knocking them down one by one until they come to a complete stop. That should work. Right? Kai said,
00:28:18Although there was no one to answer her. She turned towards the center of the room, searching with her
00:28:24He glanced at the next threat. His heart sank when he saw a familiar figure. An individual
00:28:31She was on her knees, her back arched painfully as a thick coat of fur began
00:28:36to grow from his spine. The transformation was slow, painful, and unmistakable. He really expected
00:28:44"I hope it doesn't happen to you too," Kai said softly. He watched as Esteve, the alpha of the pack,
00:28:51He began to lose himself in the beast. Chapter 1695 Fight in the cavern. Lupus and Gary broke free.
00:28:59easily from their chains. The iron links came off like paper under their weight.
00:29:06Transformation. After transforming completely, they didn't waste a second and ran immediately.
00:29:12towards the center of the room. Two fully transformed werewolves were already there.
00:29:18movement, but Jack and Gary intercepted them with terrifying speed, taking them both down
00:29:24Quickly. They didn't resort to complex maneuvers, they used only one move. Grab the men.
00:29:31wolf and smash their heads against the ground with all its might. The impact was so strong that
00:29:37It shook the entire cavern where they were, sending a vibration through the stone floor
00:29:43which everyone could feel. For a second, Lupus and Gary stood still, staring at the men
00:29:49The wolf lay on the ground to see if they moved. We didn't go a little overboard, did we? Gary asked. He looked at himself
00:29:57his hands, and then to the fallen wolves. Since his powers had been limited and suppressed
00:30:03For a while, some of them were genuinely excited to finally return to
00:30:09to use all their strength. It had been an eternity since they had felt this level of power, and that's why they hadn't yet
00:30:15They were sure they knew how to control it completely. They were pushing harder than they realized.
00:30:21driven by a moment of partly excitement, despite the terrible situation in which they found themselves
00:30:27They found each other. It should be fine. Lupus said firmly. I can hear their hearts still beating
00:30:35They're beating. They're alive. And besides, with these guys, they might need a good beating. If not,
00:30:43They will rise again and again. It was then, while Lupus was speaking, that he saw one of the werewolves in
00:30:50The ground, extending its hand. It moved its hand, scratching the earth with its claws, almost as if
00:30:56He tried to force his way to the door despite his head wound. He was relentless. Lifting the
00:31:03Lupus struck his foot hard, crushing the bone of his outstretched limb.
00:31:10"Gary, I'm telling you now," Lupus said sternly, turning to his partner. "We're going to have to..."
00:31:17We have to be very tough on these guys. Otherwise, they'll keep getting back up. It's almost like the wolf howling.
00:31:24The moon had possessed them. Immediately, those words reminded him of Gary. They transported him
00:31:31at the moment he was fighting the pack of lupus. He remembered the terrifying effect the song had.
00:31:37It had its place in the wolves of that time. Like werewolves, they became almost mindless zombies.
00:31:42who kept getting up and fighting again and again, no matter how much damage they received.
00:31:48"They're werewolves," Lupus reminded him, looking at the others who were beginning to wake up. "They have bodies."
00:31:55strong people who can recover from something like this. We can't afford to be soft. In the room,
00:32:02The sound of clanging metal grew louder and louder. The werewolves were breaking free from their restraints.
00:32:08They were chained one by one and ran toward the door. They weren't even looking for a fight. It was almost as if they ignored
00:32:15Gary and Lupus were completely focused on getting out of the game. There wasn't much time to talk or plan.
00:32:21So they quickly split up to cover the exits. Lupus ran towards the door to
00:32:28block the way. Even on the path, he remained active. He reached out to one of the men.
00:32:35He saw a wolf passing by and pulled it hard, throwing it behind him to clear the way. Then, with a step
00:32:42Vigorously, he leaped high and cleared over their heads, landing right in front of the door to
00:32:48to act as a final barrier. He could see that they were still coming straight towards him, unfazed by his
00:32:55presence. So Lupus raised his hand and swung it with all his might. A powerful swipe.
00:33:02It extended and struck three of them squarely in the chest at once, cutting them deeply and sending them flying
00:33:08back to the center of the room. Another werewolf leaped toward Lupus, snapping its jaws,
00:33:13But he managed to move his head just in time, avoiding the bite. He grabbed the attacker by the
00:33:20neck and then threw it backward, crashing into the others who were trying to advance. "Arg!"
00:33:27Lupus roared at the top of his lungs, a roar that filled the entire cavern. He knew he had to be careful. Even
00:33:35Now, he didn't want to kill those werewolves. He didn't want to be forced to kill only his own kind.
00:33:42because they were affected by the power of the full moon curse. I wanted to save them.
00:33:47But to do that, he had to keep them in that room. Gary, at the same time, was in charge
00:33:55of those who were in the center. Since so many were running erratically in all directions,
00:34:01She realized that the best thing she could do right now was to use her skills to maintain
00:34:06The order. Salto Lidl moved quickly from one werewolf to another. His body was a blur of
00:34:13He moved while striking and leaping toward the next targets. His blows were so powerful.
00:34:19And they were so powerful that the impact almost made the werewolves float in the air.
00:34:25He moved so fast that he had already struck three different werewolves before the first one fell.
00:34:31to the ground. Then he lunged again, his gaze fixed on a werewolf who was trying
00:34:36to slip away. He kicked one of them in the stomach, sending him crashing heavily against the wall.
00:34:43the cavern. Another werewolf had managed to jump onto Gary's back, holding him from behind with
00:34:50He struggled, but Gary didn't panic. With his brute strength, he managed to pry their hands apart, grabbing them and
00:34:57throwing them to the ground in front of him. The werewolves who had not yet transformed, those
00:35:03Those who were able to retain their human form thanks to their low energy could only observe. Although they
00:35:10They felt weak, agitated, and sore from the moon's pull, observing the scene with
00:35:16Utter disbelief. Like, these two, whispered one of the untransformed wolves. He knew they were strong.
00:35:25when they fought against the pack in Esteve's name, but they never demonstrated this level of
00:35:30Strength. The power to defeat so many werewolves at once. This power is almost as strong as that of alphas.
00:35:37from their own pack, another pointed out, unable to tear his eyes away from the fight. They weren't just one or
00:35:44Two people thought this. All those who hadn't been transformed couldn't believe the power
00:35:50of the two fighters. They were clear about their objective: to prevent the others from climbing the
00:35:57stairs. However, although they admired their strength, a thought still lingered in their minds that they were trying
00:36:03To resist. The urge to join the frenzy and escape. However, the situation was becoming
00:36:10More difficult, just as Lupus had said before. Even the werewolves Lupus had beaten
00:36:17with their claws, and even the one whose arm had been crushed earlier, were getting up.
00:36:24They recovered from their injuries and returned to the fray. More and more werewolves broke free from their chains.
00:36:31The entire cavern. Killing so many werewolves was no problem for Lupus and Gary's strength. They had
00:36:37They had the power to end the fight for good if they wanted. The real problem was making sure they didn't come back.
00:36:44to get up and that none of them would manage to escape to the world above. At the same time, one of the men
00:36:50The wolf that had been smashed against the cave wall was now right next to one of the
00:36:56untransformed ones that lay there before him, and seeing them, the hunger in his stomach rumbled.
00:37:02Chapter 1696 The Depth of Hunger. The struggle intensified as Gary and Lupus continued
00:37:10Their battle against the relentless horde of werewolves was a constant barrage for both of them.
00:37:16an endless cycle of claws and fur that seemed to have no end. As Lupus had warned them before,
00:37:23Their hunger was pushing the pack members to their limits. They were acting with ferocity.
00:37:29singular and primitive, as if the song of the moon wolf had been used to strip them of their
00:37:35humanity. In many ways, he felt even more dangerous than before. His desire to surpass the
00:37:42defenders, surfacing and consuming humans was stronger than anything that
00:37:47Gary would have witnessed it in his own world or in his previous encounters. It was difficult to determine.
00:37:53He certainly felt that way simply because there were more of them concentrated in such a small space
00:37:59small, or if it was because this specific curse was being activated in these people for the first time.
00:38:05It was as if the novelty of the curse made instinct uncontrollable.
00:38:11The werewolves Gary had already beaten up were getting up. He saw them get up,
00:38:17His bones were returning to their place as he grunted with renewed vigor. He was becoming incredibly
00:38:25Frustrating. When a werewolf lunged to scratch Gary's face, he shifted his weight.
00:38:31narrowly dodging the blow. He reached out and grabbed the werewolf's arm.
00:38:37He lunged forward, and with the other, he delivered a powerful punch, breaking his arm right
00:38:43in the joint. The werewolf let out a guttural growl of pain, the sound of which echoed in
00:38:50the walls of the cavern, before Gary delivered a powerful kick to his stomach, making
00:38:55that the beast rolled away from him. He was being harsh with them, much harsher than
00:39:01He used to do all of that with the pack members. As time went on, he found himself doing everything they did.
00:39:08made possible by following Lupus's advice, realizing that kindness was a luxury that simply
00:39:13They couldn't afford that if they wanted to keep the situation under control. Looking up, she saw a
00:39:19A line of three werewolves charged toward him in a coordinated motion. He raised his hand and activated his
00:39:26Claw strike. The energy of the ability hit all three of them square in the chest. The impact was so
00:39:33deep
00:39:33that made them bleed and so powerful that it lifted them off the ground, throwing them towards the center of the
00:39:39room. Even so, Gary remained cautious. He was careful not to use the full force of his claw. He feared
00:39:46deeply feared that, with the strength he and Lupus possessed, a full-power blow could destroy them
00:39:53the bones or decapitate them. He wanted to stop them, not massacre them. Lupus is fine too, Gary thought.
00:40:01He glanced briefly at his ally. Although there are many, perhaps we can continue like this. I'll have to take it as...
00:40:09A kind of endurance test where I have to keep going until sunrise. That was the plan.
00:40:15Gary thought he had, until he suddenly heard footsteps beside him. They were moving much faster than
00:40:21the
00:40:22stunned wolves he had been fighting. Before he could even turn to face
00:40:27The threat, a shadow attacked him with immense force. Gary reacted instinctively, using
00:40:35the strength of his legs to plant his feet in the stone floor, preventing the person from
00:40:40would push him back or knock him down. While he was focused on the tackle, another werewolf
00:40:46It leaped onto Gary's back. It slashed sharply across his shoulders, but the claws barely penetrated.
00:40:53They managed to penetrate her hardened skin. It's a small dent in the overall picture.
00:41:00Considering my hit points, Gary thought, remembering the damage notification. But that wasn't it.
00:41:07That's the problem right now. Gary leaned back, grabbed the werewolf by the shoulders...
00:41:14He grabbed the man by the neck and slammed him violently to the ground. Simultaneously, he swung his leg and kicked the man.
00:41:20He had tackled right behind him. He knew he still retained powerful abilities, as a last resort.
00:41:27or its magnetic howl, but he wasn't ready to use them yet. He didn't want to attract everyone's attention.
00:41:34The cave werewolves, especially considering he had such a skilled ally as
00:41:40Lupus was fighting alongside him. However, what Gary was really wondering was where he had come from.
00:41:46the person who had just attacked him. Throughout the fight, Gary had been making mental notes of
00:41:53the position of all the werewolves. He tracked their movements, noting where he had thrown them and
00:42:00where he had hit them. He was finding his rhythm, controlling the crowd, but this last attack
00:42:07It had completely thrown him off. He didn't understand why his mental map was failing. As he looked toward the area
00:42:13Where the werewolf, who was moving swiftly, had come from, he noticed something strange. There was a number
00:42:20There was a considerable amount of blood on the ground where the werewolf had been. Blood, but that werewolf didn't have
00:42:28"No injuries on his body," Gary said aloud, his confusion turning into cold understanding.
00:42:35He soon understood the terrifying truth: that there could be so much blood on the ground and the werewolf hadn't appeared.
00:42:41It was impossible for him to be injured, unless the blood belonged to someone else. Upon closer inspection
00:42:48Looking at the werewolf's face, he saw a dark red stain on the fur around its snout. Did it eat something?
00:42:54Gary's mind skipped a beat at the thought. But what could he have eaten here? Chapter 1697 The Cycle
00:43:03cannibal. Among those who still remained pinned to the walls of the cavern, the atmosphere had
00:43:09From despair to pure and utter horror. Among those dying of hunger, they endured
00:43:16They suffered intense physical pain and tried their best to suppress any strange or dark thoughts.
00:43:21Though their minds were tormented, a small part of their human consciousness still remained.
00:43:28They were trapped in their own bodies, spectators of a nightmare. Many of them
00:43:34They had just witnessed the unthinkable. A member of the pack, not transformed, but disturbed by the
00:43:40In a fit of madness, it had begun to devour a wounded werewolf that had landed right in front of them.
00:43:46At first, many viewers didn't understand how a fellow pack member,
00:43:52An individual with whom they had trained and shared meals could commit such a crime
00:43:57act. That confusion only lasted until temptation presented itself. For another wolf, no
00:44:04Though transformed, fate was just as cruel. A wounded ally was thrown into the air,
00:44:11falling with a loud thud right in front of them. Before they knew what they were doing,
00:44:16The blinding pain of hunger and the instincts they had tried so hard to suppress took over
00:44:21Total control. His arms moved on their own, extending and grasping the flesh.
00:44:27Hot in front of them. Their teeth sank in, tearing through fur and muscle,
00:44:33And they began to devour the meat with a frenzied, animalistic desperation. The transformation didn't even
00:44:40It was over, but the beast had already taken hold of their minds. Gary, in the middle of his
00:44:46Intense struggle, he saw the first incident out of the corner of his eye. He had guessed what might have happened to him.
00:44:53to the first wolf, but now, seeing it repeated in another corner of the room, he was completely
00:44:59Sure. The situation had become something far more grotesque than a simple escape.
00:45:05Lupus, don't strike the werewolves who are still chained up! Gary shouted, his voice
00:45:12Broken by the urgency of the growls. They are killing their own kind. They are
00:45:19devouring each other out of hunger. Lupus heard the scream and understood it instantly. He had
00:45:25I've been wondering what caused the specific nature of the screams and moans coming from
00:45:30from the confines of the room, but now he understood that it was the sound of a herd
00:45:35devouring itself. It was just another thing they had to be extremely careful about and
00:45:40to worry, in addition to all the other life-threatening problems they already faced. The truly
00:45:47Strange, however, was that the situation was much worse than Gary could have imagined.
00:45:53This particular werewolf, after consuming the arm of his fellow ally, suddenly
00:46:00He experienced a massive energy surge. Pure calories and the essence of meat.
00:46:05The werewolf powers allowed him to transform instantly. Once transformed, he didn't come out
00:46:11Running. As if seeking more allies to cause the greatest possible destruction and massacre.
00:46:17The newly transformed beast broke free from its chains and grabbed the mutilated body that
00:46:22had been devouring. With a surge of supernatural strength, he hurled the remains at another group
00:46:29of those who had not yet been transformed. He fed them, imposing the transformation upon his
00:46:35Brothers and sisters. And now, a terrifying pattern and cycle was beginning around them. It was
00:46:42Strange and disturbing to watch. It was almost as if, as soon as the beastly part took over the body,
00:46:49The werewolves began to collaborate to bring others to their side. It functioned like a kind of
00:46:55of infection or a hive mind, and Gary didn't fully understand its logic. However,
00:47:01Lupus, to some extent, did. Having experienced the horrors of change
00:47:07massive and herd changes in his life, he knew the nuances of the moon's influence.
00:47:13The change on the night of the full moon always felt like an external influence, a command
00:47:18foreign that resonated in their blood. Even now, when they had enemy packs, vampires and
00:47:25Humans to hunt, it was almost as if they had a list of priorities etched into their
00:47:31Memory on the night of the full moon. The curse demanded that they attack humans above all else.
00:47:36everything, and then descend on that scale of prey. Otherwise, under normal circumstances of pure
00:47:44With hunger, the werewolves would have begun attacking each other indiscriminately despite belonging to the
00:47:49same pack. This was the key difference between when they transformed and when they didn't. The state and
00:47:57The agonizing pain of hunger was much more intense when they did not transform than when they did.
00:48:02The transformation was complete. After all, being able to transform meant that his hunger was gone.
00:48:08satisfied to some extent by the change in metabolism, and once transformed, they were
00:48:14simply beasts driven to kill. If the curse of the full moon was merely to satiate
00:48:20Hunger, wouldn't it be a safe method for the wolves to eat until they were full so they wouldn't have to go out?
00:48:25Looking for more things to kill? That paradox explained why the actions that were happening now were a
00:48:31A combination of dark and separate things happening simultaneously. Unquenchable hunger was the
00:48:37Catalyst. To stop the unbearable pain of starvation, they ate whatever or whomever they could find.
00:48:44outside, they had in front of them, their hands and minds controlled by instinct even before
00:48:49They were unaware of the crime they were committing. But the full moon night gave them an impetus.
00:48:54Secondary, the thirst for blood. This is what allowed the horror to occur both before and
00:49:00after their transformation. As their bodies were already transforming, their duty focused on the thirst for
00:49:07blood, which meant helping those around them to transform so they could unite
00:49:13to the house. More and more werewolves were completing their transformations, which only meant more
00:49:19Trouble for Gary and Lupus. They were being harassed by a growing army of monsters that no longer just
00:49:26They were not hungry, but organized in their violence. Beyond the front line of combat, Jack observed
00:49:34everything from his position. He was pinned against the wall, his eyes wide as saucers watched.
00:49:40He gazed at the carnage. "No, no, what's happening before my eyes?" thought Jack, his mind racing.
00:49:48turns. "My own pack, they're devouring each other, consuming each other like animals. And here I am,
00:49:56Tied up, unable to do anything to stop it. I have to help. I have to help somehow.” Jack
00:50:05He tried to stand, he tried to move and break his own chains. However, Jack had been one
00:50:12of the few who actually succeeded in his earlier act of depriving himself of food and energy to resist the
00:50:18change. He was truly exhausted, his muscles atrophied and his energy reserves at zero. Even the
00:50:26The simple act of trying to stand up was a monumental difficulty. But when he looked towards
00:50:32He went forward and saw his own people devouring their allies, he saw them change and become monsters
00:50:37while tears of shame and pain ran down their faces even as they committed the act,
00:50:43Something changed. The horror of the vision acted as a spark. Something ignited deep within.
00:50:49Jack, a last reserve of willpower that defied his physical exhaustion.
00:50:54Chapter 1698. The Siege of the Red Wing Kingdom.
00:51:00High above the dark and bloody chaos of the cavern, the city of the Red Wing kingdom was a
00:51:06A world apart. The guests and citizens continued enjoying the grand festivities, oblivious to the
00:51:13the horror unfolding beneath their feet. The air filled with music and joy as people drank to
00:51:19Forget their worries, celebrating a night that was supposed to be a milestone for the kingdom. Now
00:51:25They were gathered around a huge, roaring bonfire lit exactly at
00:51:30Midnight. Its orange flames licked the night sky and cast long shadows.
00:51:36Dancers on the cobblestone streets. Some of the more tired guests had already left.
00:51:42to sleep, but many had had such a good time that they continued enjoying the festivities
00:51:48As the night wore on, they believed the world was safe and the future was bright.
00:51:54Even so, in the middle of the party, there was a group of people who hadn't relaxed.
00:52:00The castle's special knights, Bluebird's personal elite team.
00:52:06The knights were strategically stationed throughout the city, concentrated mainly in the
00:52:12bonfire area. This was a tactical decision, as it was where the largest number of
00:52:19people. In addition, there was a large concentration of guards near the various entrances and tunnels.
00:52:26that crisscrossed the city. These included the paths that led directly under the cavern,
00:52:32as well as other secret places, including those leading to the heart of the castle. Finally,
00:52:38A considerable number of sentries were stationed along the imposing outer walls,
00:52:45scanning the dark horizon. Bluebeard was at that moment standing on the high
00:52:50castle wall, the wind whipping her cloak. Lily stood beside her, her expression
00:52:57unusually somber. Bluebird stared straight ahead, squinting as he strained
00:53:04by scrutinizing the city's perimeter. He also kept a close eye on the various magicians stationed in
00:53:10the rooftops. These wizards had strict orders to emit an immediate magical signal if they detected
00:53:17Something suspicious is going on in their assigned sectors. It's really going to eat up the budget of the
00:53:23"To the city, hiring all those extra magicians just for one night," Lily remarked lightly.
00:53:29while trying my best to lighten the mood. Of course, it's not cheap.
00:53:36Are you sure you don't want to return to a council position? You were always very good at getting things done.
00:53:41Roland discounts. Bluebird replied, though his smile didn't reach his eyes. But it's necessary.
00:53:49Today. If what Jack told me is true, then perhaps we need to devise even more permanent measures.
00:53:56for the future. I have a feeling that today the kingdom of the red wing will change as we know it.
00:54:01We know. At that precise moment, right at the foot of the castle walls, the guards on duty
00:54:08They spotted something. In the darkness, a cloud of dust rose, and several pairs of glowing eyes and
00:54:15Predators were glimpsed through the gloom. They weren't just moving. They were approaching at incredible speed.
00:54:22Incredible, much larger than that of any horse. The knights quickly placed
00:54:28Their hands were by their weapons, their knuckles white as they prepared for whatever came.
00:54:33what would happen next. They were trained for many things, but they had never imagined
00:54:39The true ferocity of what was to come. Although they were still at a relatively short distance
00:54:46The creatures, large as they were, did not slow their march toward the wall. Instead, they leaped from the ground,
00:54:53covering an enormous distance in a single leap, and clung to the vertical stone surface.
00:54:59They quickly began to climb the wall at an unprecedented speed, digging their claws into the
00:55:06masonry as if it were soft clay. When the creatures finally reached the battlements and
00:55:12They launched themselves over the edge, and the knights could finally see what they were up against. The creatures
00:55:18Those who came to attack them were werewolves. As soon as the werewolves landed, the knights
00:55:25They quickly drew their weapons. The sound of steel clashing against claws as hard as bone.
00:55:31It filled the air. It was a fierce and desperate battle from the start. The knights used their
00:55:38number, with three highly trained men moving in formation for each werewolf.
00:55:44Currently, five werewolves had managed to cross the top of this section of the
00:55:50wall. The knights were highly trained in the use of ki, as well as in complex formations
00:55:57They were battle-ready, so at first they performed well. They struck and attacked from behind.
00:56:03while his vanguard blocked the beasts' powerful blows and claws. Without
00:56:09However, the problem lay in the enormous resilience of the werewolves. Even when one of them
00:56:15The knights found an opening and stabbed a werewolf in the back; the creature did not fall.
00:56:22Before the knight could even draw his sword to attack again, the werewolf turned his
00:56:28His arm in a blurry arc. His sharp claws managed to reach the knight's throat.
00:56:34cutting through their defenses in a red cloud. "Don't lose focus for a second," shouted the knight.
00:56:41leader, his voice barely audible above the growls. Bluebird had prepared them for
00:56:48whatever might happen. I had previously warned them that werewolves might come.
00:56:53to attack, based on the information shared by Gary and the others. There were members of the pack
00:57:00Esteve, who were carrying out missions all over the country, were caught off guard when the moon
00:57:06It reached its peak. For those werewolves who were near small villages,
00:57:12The knights knew they couldn't do much to help them from there. There were also those
00:57:18Werewolves who had not yet joined a pack, the loners, and it was difficult
00:57:23guessing what was happening to them as the curse took hold, whether they were affected by the
00:57:29Madness or not. That's why the guards were at least mentally prepared, but the fight itself was much more
00:57:35It was tougher than they had anticipated. The werewolves were faster, stronger, and more resilient.
00:57:42than any human opponent they had faced. Two men had already died in that
00:57:48section of the wall, its reinforcements shattered like paper. Let's get reinforcements, one of them shouted.
00:57:55of the younger knights. He tensed every muscle, using his ki to push aside claws of
00:58:01his face as a werewolf leaned its full weight on him. Two of his comrades tried
00:58:07counterattack, managing to cut deeply into the werewolf's chest, but their swords only
00:58:13They penetrated the skin and muscle. They didn't reach anything vital, and the beast didn't even flinch. The others
00:58:21They have strict orders to remain at the gates. They have to stay and protect the people.
00:58:27of the city. We are alone up here and we must do our duty, shouted the older gentleman,
00:58:34trying to encourage his men. He stepped forward to help, but his words were
00:58:40interrupted. Another werewolf had scaled the wall behind him, undetected in the chaos.
00:58:48She lunged at him and sank her teeth into his neck, silencing his command forever. Chapter
00:58:551699. The call of the alpha. The knights stationed along the outer walls suffered serious
00:59:03difficulties arose as the battle progressed. Not only did they have to face the initial wave of
00:59:09Werewolves. More and more beasts scaled the stone heights, sinking their claws into the
00:59:15smaller cracks in the masonry. This proved to be far more problematic than any
00:59:21of the demonic beasts they had faced in the past. Normally, when facing
00:59:27Against monsters, the knights relied on the predictable and animalistic movements of the
00:59:33beasts. However, due to their human-like anatomy, werewolves were much more agile.
00:59:40and more coordinated than common monsters. Their humanoid structures allowed them to dodge,
00:59:46dodging and counterattacking in ways that reduced the effectiveness of the knights' traditional weapons.
00:59:52While humanoid demonic beasts did exist in their world, they were exceptionally rare. Most
00:59:59The knights did not have much experience in facing something that moved with such agility.
01:00:04of a man, but he possessed the brute, crushing strength of a beast. It wasn't like fighting against
01:00:11humans, where a single blow to a vital organ would end the fight, nor was it like fighting against
01:00:17wild animals, where superior tactics could easily prevail. This nightmare was not limited
01:00:24to a single section of the city. The assault was unfolding simultaneously on all sides
01:00:30from the walls. Reports and shouts were heard from the north, the south, and the east. Werewolves emerged from
01:00:37The darkness and they attacked different areas with astonishing synchronization. This widespread pressure
01:00:44This was the reason why the men on the walls could not support each other as well as they usually did.
01:00:49to do it. Each squad was cornered in its own desperate fight for survival.
01:00:55Why do you keep coming here? Is there something that draws you to this specific place? one of them shouted.
01:01:02Knights gritted their teeth. He channeled his ki into his feet to anchor himself, then launched himself forward
01:01:09With a desperate growl, he thrust his spear in with all his might. The werewolf he was aiming at
01:01:16He was incredibly fast. He reached out and grabbed the tip of the spear with his bare hand. The metal
01:01:23He stabbed him in the palm, but managed to prevent the point from piercing his stomach. Four others
01:01:29The knights saw the opportunity and rushed forward, their swords flashing.
01:01:34They struck the werewolf's arms simultaneously, inflicting several deep and sharp cuts.
01:01:41And the bright red blood quickly soaked the creature's thick fur. However,
01:01:47Despite injuries that would have incapacitated a human, the werewolf was still alive and fighting.
01:01:54They were proving to be some of the toughest and most terrifying creatures that the knights
01:01:59They had met. As they fought, the knights began to reminisce about the various
01:02:05missions they had undertaken alongside werewolves in the past. They recalled the times when
01:02:11The kingdom's army was mobilizing for border disputes. The werewolves, in the midst of these
01:02:18In wars, they charged fearlessly, receiving blows that would kill anyone, and yet they continued
01:02:24wielding immense power. In those times, knights rejoiced at the werewolves
01:02:30were on their side and not the other way around. But now, the situation had changed, and that legendary
01:02:37Resilience was being used to destroy them. There was a specific reason why so much was being said about it.
01:02:44They were headed to the kingdom of the red wing. Although Gary and the others had told Bluebird what
01:02:49It would happen during the full moon; they only shared the knowledge they possessed at that time.
01:02:56The circumstances of the transformation in its specific period and the current transformation were very
01:03:01different. For starters, even before Lupus became alpha, his pack had always been
01:03:08extremely cautious. They had chained themselves together and remained in the depths of the ruined city.
01:03:15making sure not to cause problems for the outside world. They were forced to do so out of fear of the
01:03:21vampires, who would surely try to get rid of them if they ever stood out or caused trouble
01:03:27Too much damage. The chains and specific ruins they used were designed by them.
01:03:33themselves to contain the werewolves even when they were fully transformed and in
01:03:38their peak strength. Because of that history of restraint, Gary and Lupus were unaware of what would happen.
01:03:45If an entire herd were subjected to the curse of the full moon while they were together
01:03:50completely free and scattered throughout the territory. The members of Esteve's pack,
01:03:56Those who had been on distant missions now demonstrated the danger of the unknown.
01:04:02to transform, it was almost as if they had a biological need to hunt as a pack
01:04:08synchronized. Naturally, they headed towards where their alpha was to begin the hunt.
01:04:15Since Esteve and the core of the pack were in the city, it had become a beacon.
01:04:22That's why more werewolves were arriving than the kingdom expected, and the situation was reaching a breaking point.
01:04:27a critical point. What drove the knights to stay and fight despite the growing fear was
01:04:34the immense responsibility they bore. They knew that if they didn't stop, or at least restrain, the werewolves in
01:04:41The walls; it would be a massacre for the citizens enjoying the festival in the city.
01:04:47The werewolf squadron had been fighting and had been attacked, still dripping blood from
01:04:53A dozen wounds. He let out a piercing howl, and two other werewolves approached him. The three
01:05:01They looked at the knights, who had formed a defensive line. The werewolves ran
01:05:07At once, a mass of fur and claws. The knights had to convince themselves that they would be
01:05:14Well, even though Sui was getting tired and they were completely exhausted. Just when the
01:05:21Two lines were about to collide when an individual landed right in front of the knights. His cloak
01:05:27It waved after him as he touched the ground. With a single fluid movement, he brandished his sword, describing a wide arc.
01:05:35The blade, reinforced with immense power, cut through the tough skin and bones of the werewolves that
01:05:41They charged, severing their limbs. With another decisive step forward, the sword pierced
01:05:48The head of the werewolf in the lead, killing him instantly. The other two werewolves
01:05:55They had been sufficiently injured by the initial blow, which allowed the others
01:06:00Knights, regain your courage and act quickly to defeat the remaining beasts.
01:06:05The knights were deeply grateful for their savior, and when they finally had a
01:06:11A moment to breathe, they realized exactly who had come to their rescue.
01:06:17"Master Bluebird," the knights said in unison. They were happy and relieved that the
01:06:24They would have saved him, but they also felt a deep shame that their leader had been forced into such a situation.
01:06:30to go out and rescue them from the fight. "We have to reach the other walls and stop this as soon as possible."
01:06:35"Before," said Bluebird in a cold, determined voice. He didn't look at his men. Instead, he watched some
01:06:43of the knights already dead who lay on the stone. "I know they're not in their right minds right now,
01:06:49And I know it's not their fault. But I won't let my people die just to save them." He squeezed tighter.
01:06:56His sword. The weight of his decision was visible in his eyes. "Sometimes, these are the decisions."
01:07:03"Difficult ones we have to make." Bluebird gazed up at the festival lights, imagining what was
01:07:10happening in the cave. He only hoped that Jack would finally understand his actions. He knew that,
01:07:17If the roles were reversed, Jack might have to make the same decision to protect the majority.
01:07:23instead of the minority. Chapter 1700. The Sacrifice of Vital Energy. Bluebird Knew
01:07:31He had to act quickly. Every second he hesitated on one section of the wall was another.
01:07:37second, in which probably a knight elsewhere was being torn apart. Although it didn't cause him
01:07:43There was no pleasure in killing werewolves. A life was a life, and there was no easy way to subdue them.
01:07:50These beasts in their current state. They were too fast, too strong, and too...
01:07:56dominated by the madness of the moon as if they could not be contained with simple ropes or words.
01:08:02He was ready to head to the other side of the western walls, where the signs of the mages were
01:08:08more frantic, but there was still one matter that remained close to him, a responsibility that
01:08:14She took it more seriously than her own life. "Bluebird!" Lily cried, her voice barely rising above the
01:08:22The clash of steel and the distant sounds of the festival. Is there anything you want me to do? Since I
01:08:29You brought me to the front, do you want me to return to the inner sanctuary to be safe or stay here with the
01:08:35gentlemen? Originally, Blue Bird's orders were to stay in the castle, and the reason
01:08:41The priority was protecting Lily. According to Jack, it was very likely they would come after them, and things would go wrong.
01:08:48During the full moon. Jack trusted Bluebird more than anyone else in the kingdom for the safety of
01:08:54his
01:08:54family. However, Bluebird was a warrior at heart, and he had decided that if the situation
01:09:01She returned in desperation; she couldn't stand idly by while her men died. When she saw
01:09:07The magical flares that indicated a breach made him feel he had no other option but to move.
01:09:13And that meant taking Lily with him. "Stay with me, and stay close," replied Bluebird,
01:09:21Without taking my eyes off the shadows behind the wall. "The safest place for you right now is at
01:09:27my side.
01:09:27I can protect you better here than if you were hidden in a room I can't see.
01:09:33"You can keep up with me, right?" Lily nodded firmly, her face looking distraught.
01:09:40As soon as he gave his word, Bluebird set off. He ran along the stone walkway of the
01:09:47wall, with precise and efficient movements. The knights who were still standing and in
01:09:53The fighting conditions were not left behind, following their leader into the next skirmish.
01:09:58They soon reached an area where the werewolves had gathered in a frenzy. Bluebird no
01:10:05He slowed his pace. When a werewolf brandished his enormous hairy claw, he moved with the grace of
01:10:11An experienced duelist, blocking the blow with the flat of his sword. Taking advantage of the momentum,
01:10:17He slammed his fist into the creature's stomach, followed by a brutal blow with the hilt of
01:10:23His sword went straight to the werewolf's temple. The beast fell to the ground, stunned. Without missing a beat
01:10:30Second, he plunged his sword into the back of the werewolf's neck, instantly annihilating the man's head.
01:10:36wolf before releasing the blade and turning toward the next attacker. For bluebird, these men
01:10:42The wolf was much easier to defeat than opponents like a soku, with whom they had
01:10:47fought in the past. But that didn't mean werewolves were easy targets for anyone.
01:10:53More. Simply put, Bluebird had a level of skill that allowed him to read their movements.
01:11:00primary. He knew he couldn't falter for a single moment, because any mistake meant risking
01:11:06Lily's life or the lives of her men. As they continued to fight their way through the wall,
01:11:12Bluebird quickly dispatched the monsters. There were some he had more difficulty with,
01:11:19those who clearly retained some of their martial instincts even in beastly form,
01:11:24But Bluebird's mastery of his weapon was simply on another level. Once the section
01:11:30The immediate area of the wall was finally clear and safe, and Bluebeard thought he could take a
01:11:36I paused to wipe the sweat from my forehead. It was then that Lily, who was a few steps behind,
01:11:43She felt a twitch in her nose. "That smell!" Lily murmured, her eyes widening as she gazed at the architecture.
01:11:51From the castle. To the tower above! Watch out! Up above, a werewolf clung to one of the
01:11:58Bell needles, hidden among the dark Gothic carvings. He leaped toward the exposed back
01:12:05Bluebird. Thanks to Lily's timely warning, Bluebird was able to react.
01:12:12He kicked, spinning in the air, and raised his sword. The blade plunged directly into the open mouth.
01:12:19of the descending werewolf. The creature's heavy, inert body crashed into the bird
01:12:25blue, and the momentum sent him tumbling to the ground with the werewolf on top of him. The knights rushed to his aid.
01:12:31They rushed to his aid, pulling the corpse off their leader. They realized immediately
01:12:38that he was already dead. The bluebird strike had been perfect. I'm fine, guys, relax.
01:12:46said Bluebird with a forced smile as he stood up and dusted off his cape.
01:12:51Maró to Lily. Thanks for my wife's warning. I suppose bringing them is more useful than I thought.
01:12:58I thought. Although it was meant as a compliment, and Lily knew it was sincere, I still felt a little...
01:13:05discomfort. The reason he knew exactly where the werewolf was hiding wasn't because of his
01:13:11visual acuity, but because his own body had begun to change. His senses were becoming sharper.
01:13:17a shape that seemed strange and unnatural. He looked at the ground, wondering what Jack and he were going through.
01:13:24The others were in the dark. She wished she could help them, but a part of her felt that her own existence
01:13:31And the curse he carried only made things worse for him. Deep inside the cavern
01:13:36Underground, Jack fought. He fought fiercely against the mental toll of watching his comrades die.
01:13:43allies. He watched them devour each other, driven by an uncontrollable hunger. Seeing this,
01:13:50Jack's heart broke. He wanted to help at all costs, but his body was an empty shell.
01:13:58Exhausted from fasting, she prayed for the power to help them, and in that moment of pure
01:14:04In desperation, his body responded. However weak a person might be, they still retained energy within them.
01:14:11Inside, a hidden reserve that could be tapped if the will was strong enough.
01:14:18Energy was Ki. However, when the body lacks food and energy, the deep search for
01:14:25which links him to a specific source, life energy. Driven by his overwhelming desire to save
01:14:32His pack, Jack's mind forced his body to use this forbidden fuel. This type of Ki,
01:14:39which literally consumed the user's life force to gain power, flooded him. His body began to
01:14:46to transform instantly. The problem was that this was a catastrophic mistake on Jack's part.
01:14:52His noble will to help had provided his body with the raw energy necessary to
01:14:58To complete the transformation. At the moment the transformation was complete, the surge of power
01:15:04He freed him from his chains. But the Jack who was there now was not the man who wanted to save her.
01:15:10their
01:15:10Friends. His mind had been completely dominated by the bloodlust of the curse. The savior
01:15:17The person he wanted to be had been replaced by a monster.
