00:00:00My Werewolf System. Chapters 1701 to 1710. Chapter 1701 The Unleashed Alpha. In one of
00:00:10The caverns, the carefully laid containment plans, were beginning to crumble.
00:00:16There was one individual who had failed in the exhausting process of fasting and diluting energy
00:00:21natural to his body. That individual was Esteve. Esteve possessed more power than he himself
00:00:28He imagined. The root of the problem lay in Esteve's own mind. He often saw himself as a
00:00:35younger brother, a constant shadow in Jack's light. After all, he had witnessed the
00:00:42legendary feats that Jack was capable of, moments of leadership and power that Esteve believed
00:00:47never being able to reply. It was only by pure luck, or perhaps misfortune, depending on how you looked at it, that Esteve
00:00:54He became an alpha. Deep down, he knew his position was largely due to influence.
00:01:01and Jack's sacrifice. Although Esteve never felt jealousy or resentment towards his brother,
00:01:07In any case, he was immensely proud of Jack. This admiration acted as a double-edged sword.
00:01:14Edge. It allowed him to strive to achieve his own goals, knowing that there were werewolves who
00:01:20They followed him instead of his brother. The fact that his own pack needed him was
00:01:25enough to propel him forward. The problem, however, was Esteve's lack of confidence
00:01:32This led him to underestimate his own biology. He didn't realize that his body was a reservoir of
00:01:38untapped energy. Since he hadn't pushed his fast to the absolute limit, his body was still brimming with it.
00:01:44fuel needed for a violent transformation during the full moon. When the moon
00:01:50Having reached his peak, Esteve didn't just transform. He exploded. After the completion of
00:01:57During the transformation, the beast that inhabited Esteve's skin didn't wait. It tore itself from the wall of the
00:02:03cavern. The heavy iron spikes driven into the stone creaked and broke under its new
00:02:09Strength. The first thing Esteve did was swing his enormous arms. The long, heavy chains
00:02:16Still attached to his wrists, they whistled through the air as they hurtled toward Kai. Kai reacted
00:02:22with the instincts of a seasoned survivor. He managed to jump, twisting his body in the air to
00:02:28dodged two of the heavy chain links that would have crashed into his skull. But
00:02:34landing on the uneven floor of the cavern, another lesser werewolf, driven by the presence
00:02:40Esteve, acting as the alpha, lunged at him to scratch his stomach. Kai blocked the blow with
00:02:46a forearm, responded quickly with a powerful knee strike to the creature's chest and followed with a
00:02:52a kick that sent the wolf rolling into the shadows. However, the distraction cost him dearly. Kai felt
00:02:59Suddenly, the heavy chains struck him squarely in the back. The pain was blinding.
00:03:05The sensation of cold iron striking flesh and bone echoed down his spine. Kai turned around,
00:03:12With his eyes squinting, he saw the chains approaching him again in a wide arc.
00:03:18This time, he didn't dodge them. He reached out, dug his claws into the metal links to
00:03:24He caught them and used the momentum to throw them aside. Why did it have to be you who
00:03:32Will you change? Kai growled, his voice deep and bestial. I knew you were going to cause trouble from the start.
00:03:40when we entered this cave. As Kai ran forward, he knew he needed
00:03:46He took advantage of his superior speed and transformed into a wolf. He had been observing the behavior
00:03:51Esteve earlier, before entering the cave and returning to his settlement, noticing how Esteve
00:03:58He had fought against members of his pack during his training sessions. Esteve
00:04:03He never seemed to tire. He had crushed his own teammates as if it were nothing.
00:04:09no effort. Now, like a mindless beast, that efficiency was amplified by the lack of
00:04:16control. The chains continued to pound the ground, shattering the stone as Kai shortened the
00:04:23distance. He needed to penetrate Esteve's guard. Fortunately, the chaotic atmosphere allowed him
00:04:30favored it. The large number of werewolves in the area created a labyrinth of bodies that Kai could
00:04:36He used it as cover to conceal his path. He rushed forward, dodging the fray.
00:04:43and managed to sink his teeth into Esteve's leg. It was a calculated blow, but Kai was
00:04:49His heart sank as he felt the resistance. His bite barely managed to pierce the thick and
00:04:55Esteve's reinforced skin. Kai didn't linger. He kept moving, flitting around
00:05:02Esteve was like a mosquito, biting and cutting every time an opening appeared. With each touch,
00:05:09Kai channeled his elemental power, forming irregular ice plates on Esteve's fur to
00:05:15to stop him. The problem was that none of the injuries were serious enough to
00:05:21to stop the alpha. When Esteve prepared to counterattack, the ice that Kai had formed
00:05:27It shattered and fell like glass. Esteve let out a roar that shook the foundations of the cavern and
00:05:33He slammed his fist into the ground. The moment his fist hit the earth, the shackle of
00:05:39The iron that held her right wrist broke. A massive surge of energy erupted from the point of
00:05:46Impact, a shockwave from Kike traveled across the ground and rose into the air. It struck Kai like a wave. It wasn't
00:05:54a
00:05:54A direct blow to the body, but the pressure was enough to lift him off the ground, suspending him
00:06:00in the air for a fraction of a second. Before he could regain his balance, Esteve was already
00:06:06There. His enormous fist slammed into Kai's ribs with the force of a rock.
00:06:12Kai's wolf form plummeted, bouncing several times on the uneven ground before crashing.
00:06:19against the far wall of the cavern. He fell to the ground, a thick trail of blood dripping from his
00:06:26Mouth. Damn it. I'm not like the other two, Kai thought, his vision blurring. Gary and Lupus have always
00:06:34They've been monsters in terms of pure physical prowess. I'm a step behind them. The only way
00:06:41To stay in the game, I've had to cheat with my elemental powers and my specialized form.
00:06:47Kai coughed, tasting copper, and made an instant decision. He canceled his transformation from
00:06:55wolf and reverted to his werewolf form on two legs. He needed greater control of his ki.
00:07:01that his beast form allowed him to become. I can't become my true alpha right now.
00:07:07"I don't even have Maria here," Kai muttered, looking at the enormous beast that was Esteve.
00:07:13And that attack? Mr. Prendt, even as just a wild beast, you still unconsciously use your ki.
00:07:22That makes you much harder to control than a normal transformation. Esteve roared again and the
00:07:29The sound echoed in Kai's bones. But I suppose the only answer is to fight the fire with
00:07:35"Fire," Kai stated. He reached back and grasped a jagged stone slab that had
00:07:41detached from the cave wall. With its claws, it quickly reshaped it, sharpening the edges
00:07:48until they became lethal points. Then, he concentrated his energy. A deep frost
00:07:55A crystalline substance began to spread from her palms, enveloping her in layers of reinforced ice. Kai
00:08:02He held in both hands what appeared to be two gleaming, frozen swords. He adopted a stance
00:08:08Crouching like a predator, she watched as the swords whizzed by with cold energy. Let's try again.
00:08:16Chapter 1702 The Bridge Between Generations. Kai's standard wolf form was undeniably
00:08:23swift. By combining her lupine agility with her elemental ice powers, she became
00:08:29a mass of frost and fur that could dismantle most of its opponents before they even realized
00:08:35He realized the fight had begun. However, that speed came at a considerable price. In his
00:08:42In his transformed base state, Kai had an obvious weakness. His raw attack power was relatively
00:08:49He was short compared to the heavyweights of the pack. His true alpha form was designed
00:08:55to overcome this gap, granting him the physical strength necessary to crush the reinforced defenses,
00:09:01But that was a path I simply couldn't access in the current chaos. Faced with a situation
00:09:08like this, against an opponent like Esteve, whose skin was too thick and whose body too
00:09:13Resistant to being damaged by simple claws, Kai's traditional wolf form felt almost
00:09:20Useless. As they exchanged blows, Kai understood the terrifying truth. Esteve was
00:09:26unconsciously using ki to reinforce her entire skeletal structure and muscular system. She was a
00:09:33Bitter irony. Esteve's bestial version, fueled by the madness of the full moon, seemed
00:09:39far more dangerous than the real Esteve. Without the mental constraints of morality or the
00:09:45Insecurity, the creature was taking advantage of a primal source of power that Esteve used
00:09:50keep it suppressed. —Come on! —Kai shouted, and the sound echoed off the cavern walls. It propelled the
00:09:59front foot, tearing up the ground beneath his feet as he shot forward like a
00:10:05blue and white lightning bolt. Esteve imitated the movement, carrying the weight of a freight train, but Kai
00:10:11He had the advantage in terms of reaction time. The ice swords he had forged whirred with
00:10:17a deadly cold. Kai ducked to dodge a violent attack from Esteve's chains and lunged forward
00:10:23Up. The blades struck Esteve's chest, and the reinforced ice managed to penetrate with
00:10:30deep enough to splash the frost with a stream of dark blood. Esteve
00:10:36He didn't give up. His enormous arms moved frantically, trying to knock Kai down.
00:10:42air. Kai deflected the powerful blows with his ice swords. The sound of power against skin
00:10:48The beast's roar echoed like clashing steel. It didn't pause to admire its work. It continued attacking.
00:10:55With both hands, using all the strength he could muster, Kai was pushing his lungs to the limit.
00:11:02Barely breathing, he maintained a relentless barrage of blows. There was a specific reason.
00:11:08The reason Kai could do this, the reason he could stand up to a raging alpha, was because he dominated.
00:11:14a rare skill even among his kind in this world, the precise application of
00:11:20While Gary and Lupus relied on their physical monstrosity, Kai had studied the
00:11:26Details to enhance his muscles and feet. This allowed him to move with greater speed and explosiveness.
00:11:33that never, even without the complete physical transformation into a wolf. But most importantly, Kai
00:11:39He was one of the few who had learned to project his ki toward external objects. He was
00:11:45covering their ice blades with a thin, vibrating layer of ki energy. This was a technique that the
00:11:52The rest they hadn't fully mastered yet. As they did, their weapons became more than just frozen water.
00:11:59They were reinforced artifacts. They didn't break against Esteve's hardened skin despite the incredible
00:12:05force that was channeled through them. Kai continued his attack, a whirlwind of blades
00:12:12that sank into Esteve's shoulders and sides. Frustrated and bleeding from a dozen cuts
00:12:17Superficial, Esteve roared and slammed his fist into the ground again. He summoned a massive wave
00:12:24of ki that traveled through the earth with the intention of launching Kai upwards. Kai, anticipating the
00:12:30She moved, leaping in the perfect microsecond. As she descended from the peak of her jump, she launched both
00:12:37swords thrust forward, plunging them into Esteve's chest. The impact was powerful, and Esteve responded
00:12:44with a desperate and crushing punch that sent Kai bouncing across the cavern floor
00:12:49like a stone thrown into a pond. As soon as Kai's feet touched the ground, he adopted
00:12:55Instantly transformed into a wolf. In a display of aerial coordination, he caught
00:13:01One of its ice blades fell with its powerful jaws. It lunged towards
00:13:07Esteve, regaining his humanoid werewolf form at the last second to strike
00:13:12A low, wide blow. The blade cut deeply into the back of the leg.
00:13:17Esteve severed the Achilles tendon. Not even an alpha of Esteve's caliber could withstand it.
00:13:24The sudden loss of structural integrity. The pain and the impact on your nervous system
00:13:30They forced him to his knees, and he fell heavily to the cave floor. Kai didn't give him time to
00:13:36to recover. He unleashed one last frantic series of cuts on Esteve's back. He moved with cold
00:13:43efficiency, cutting off the other leg to ensure Esteve remained on the ground, before
00:13:49Finally, crash both blades together in a cross-cut across the alpha's spine.
00:13:54Blades were driven into Esteve's skin with the weight of a hammer before breaking into a thousand pieces
00:14:00crystalline fragments. Esteve's enormous body collapsed forward, motionless. I know he didn't
00:14:06It's enough to kill a monster like you, but I hope it's enough to keep you down there for a while.
00:14:13Kai gasped, leaning on his knees as his ice weapons evaporated into mist.
00:14:18I'm sorry, Esteve, your generation of alphas are strong. They did what they could with their bodies.
00:14:27and they even learned to use ki in their own way. Kai looked at his own hands, which were trembling from the
00:14:33effort. Perhaps if you had eaten a stronger beast to evolve, or had used that
00:14:39With your high-level beast equipment, the fight would have been much tougher. Or maybe it's just the fact
00:14:46about what
00:14:46I am a shapeshifter, who benefits from the presence of others, which gave me the advantage. But it's
00:14:53hour
00:14:53that the new generation will surpass the old one. Kai allowed himself a small, tired smile, feeling
00:15:00He felt genuine pride in having defeated an alpha male of the modern era. However, his satisfaction was short-lived.
00:15:06A little. As he looked around the cavern to catch his breath, he realized that something was very wrong.
00:15:13The silence was unsettling. He wondered why the other members of the pack weren't surrounding him.
00:15:20Now that their alpha had fallen, would they have felt too intimidated to intervene?
00:15:26Had the speed of the fight left them unable to keep up? Kai looked towards the
00:15:32at the other end of the cavern, where the main staircase was located. His heart sank.
00:15:39Enormous steel doors, designed to contain hungry wolves, had been torn off.
00:15:45violently from its hinges. While Kai was completely focused on his life-or-death duel
00:15:51Death with Esteve; all the other werewolves in the cave who could move had already escaped.
00:15:57to the upper tunnels. The siege of the red-wing kingdom was about to become much more intense.
00:16:03crowded. Chapter 1703 The Beast of the City. Kai was in the center of the cavern,
00:16:10with his chest heaving as the adrenaline of the battle began to subside, replaced by
00:16:16an overwhelming sense of devastation. The scene before him was a nightmare. Although much of the
00:16:23Esteve's pack remained tied and chained against the stone walls, a small mercy
00:16:29for which I was deeply grateful, many of the areas were empty. I had been so
00:16:35focused on his life-or-death struggle with Esteve, who had allowed the unthinkable to happen.
00:16:41The others had escaped. Despite the urgency coursing through his veins, Kai knew he couldn't
00:16:48Leave Esteve unconscious on the cold floor. If the alpha woke up without any problems, the massacre would only be...
00:16:55It would intensify. Fortunately, they had anticipated a scenario in which they would need to secure a
00:17:01high-ranking werewolf. Kai saw a pile of heavy spare iron chains that had
00:17:07reserved for this situation, and moved with frantic efficiency. He dragged the inert body
00:17:13Esteve was forced against the wall, his wrists, ankles, and neck bound. Distrusting the strength of a
00:17:20Just one link against a werewolf of Esteve's caliber, Kai went further, enveloping a second
00:17:26a set of chains around the man's limbs until he becomes an iron cocoon
00:17:31heavy. "This should hold it," Kai thought, tightening the last bolt. "Even if I get the
00:17:38Consciousness will not have the energy to break them. If it exerts itself too much in its transformation without food,
00:17:46"His body will eventually give way and he will return to his human form." He looked at the other captives in the room,
00:17:53those who had not yet transformed or escaped. It was a risky gamble to leave one
00:17:59A monster like Esteve in the same room as them, even chained up. If Esteve managed to break free
00:18:05Those links, those trapped there, would be nothing more than a snack. That's why Lupus was supposed to
00:18:12I would rotate between the caverns to find support. Kai cursed inwardly, frustration about to build.
00:18:19about to explode. I was left holding the bottom part of the stick, trying to control this madness all on my own.
00:18:25I got too confident. I thought that with my speed I could hold Esteve off and protect the exit to
00:18:32At the same time. My mistake. Just as I finished securing the area and was preparing to run towards
00:18:39The surface, his sensitive wolf ears pricked up. A sound filtered from the tunnels
00:18:45superiors, chilling him to the bone. "Oh!" It wasn't just a cry. A chorus of screams rose from the city,
00:18:54The sound of pure, unadulterated chaos unfolded in the streets. Without wasting a second, Kai turned and left.
00:19:01He shot out. He sped through the broken iron gates and leaped up the stone staircase.
00:19:07with his claws striking the rock. Emerging in the city in his wolf form, Kai encountered
00:19:13A scene of massacre. The city's knights had already deployed. Their silver armor
00:19:20They glittered in the moonlight as they faced off against the escaped werewolves in a
00:19:25Desperate hand-to-hand combat. The bodies lay scattered on the cobblestones. Some were
00:19:32knights fallen in the initial wave. Fortunately, it seemed that the public in
00:19:37The general had largely escaped unscathed so far. The knights had been on high alert.
00:19:43maximum, and their quick response had prevented the beasts from reaching the crowd. Later,
00:19:51Kai saw a knight yielding to the weight of a massive werewolf. The beast's claws
00:19:56They were inches from the man's throat. Kai jumped from a nearby rooftop, closing
00:20:02It abruptly clamped its powerful jaws around the werewolf's neck. With a savage twist
00:20:08It tore off a huge chunk of flesh and fur from the neck. As Kai leaped toward the next one
00:20:15The knight who had been saved did not hesitate, brandishing his sword to decapitate the stunned creature.
00:20:21I'm sorry, Kai thought, with a pang of guilt as he looked at the fallen members of the pack that a
00:20:28I had hoped to save them all. I wanted to rescue them all, but now I must prioritize survival.
00:20:34of the city. The battlefield was changing. Kai sped across the plaza, using his
00:20:42Superior agility to intercept the werewolves. He slid across the stone to dodge one.
00:20:48He struck, then lunged upwards, sinking his enormous claws into a werewolf's chest and
00:20:54throwing it away from a group of terrified civilians. "The giant wolf. It's on our side."
00:21:00"He's an ally," roared one of the knights, rallying his men. The presence of a powerful
00:21:08The ally gave the knights a new impetus. Meanwhile, Kai faced the confined space.
00:21:14From the cave, the open streets of the city allowed him to unleash his full speed.
00:21:20She transformed into a guardian shadow, moving swiftly among the knights and ensuring
00:21:26that no one would be outflanked. However, a new problem arose. Unlike the
00:21:32The cave, which had limited exits, was an open map; the city. Several werewolves had
00:21:39began using its claws to climb buildings, bypassing the front lines of
00:21:44the knights and head straight to the town square, where the terrified citizens were
00:21:50They were gathered near the large bonfire. A werewolf leaped from a balcony, gliding overhead.
00:21:56The guard, jaws wide open and ready to devour, was cut in two by a flash of steel.
00:22:03in the air. The two halves of the beast fell to the ground without causing harm. Everyone, stay in the
00:22:10Center. Don't move! Bluebeard shouted, his sword covered in dark blood. He stood in the heart of
00:22:18The formation, watching the rooftops. The knights will protect them. Do not break formation or the
00:22:26We will eliminate them. Bluebeard knew that as long as the people remained grouped together, his men could
00:22:33form a wall of steel around him. He looked up and glimpsed the enormous wolf that was the street
00:22:39pushing his way through the stragglers on the perimeter. With him here, people could survive, Bird thought.
00:22:46Blue, with a somber hope growing in her chest. As long as Gary and Lupus have the same luck with
00:22:53The other pack, we might survive the night. Chapter 1704 The Monster of the Ancient Era. One
00:23:01A catastrophe was brewing in the heart of the cave. Jack, the alpha of his pack and revered
00:23:08As one of the legendary heroes of his time, he was losing the inner battle. Despite
00:23:14Despite his iron will, the rampant infection was spreading. Gary and Lupus watched in horror as
00:23:21A dense, silvery-gray fur sprouted from Jack's skin, spreading across his muscular body to a
00:23:27The transformation was accelerating at breakneck speed, and they were running out of time.
00:23:34Lupus, protect the exits! Gary roared, his voice cracking with the strain of his own power
00:23:41Inside. I'll take care of Jack. The trio who had traveled from the future knew well the power of the
00:23:48werewolves. They had spent countless hours training and training against Esteve, but they knew
00:23:54I fully understood that a friendly fight was very different from a life-or-death fight against a
00:24:00alpha with all his might. They had heard the stories about Jack's legendary power and
00:24:05He had recently been seen standing up to a Soku. Jack's power was legendary, famous for
00:24:12his brutality. However, since his previous opponent had been a monster like a Soku, Gary had
00:24:19It was difficult to gauge Jack's true potential. I could only guess at the hero's strength.
00:24:25until he felt the air of a mortal blow. At the moment Jack's transformation reached
00:24:32At its peak, the legendary hero stood tall, his hands clasped at his sides. He unleashed a
00:24:39A chilling howl tore through the air. The heavy iron chains that bound him not only
00:24:45They didn't just break, they shattered into a thousand jagged pieces. The force of the sonic boom
00:24:51It was so immense that the entire cavern creaked and vibrated, while dust fell from the ceiling. A chill.
00:24:58A primal fear, one he hadn't felt in a long time, crept down Gary's spine. Could it be because he no longer...
00:25:05Am I an alpha in this timeline? Gary wondered, digging his claws into the ground. Or is it just his
00:25:12Pure power? Perhaps this is what others feel when they are in my presence. This will not be victory.
00:25:18It was as easy as he'd expected. But Gary wasn't the same puppy who'd discovered the system. His powers
00:25:25They were fully restored, and most importantly, he had unveiled the secrets of
00:25:31Ki. He had learned to intertwine internal energy in his strikes, converting force
00:25:37decisive in something far more surgical and devastating. Jack Noah Sparrow kicked
00:25:43so violent that the stone floor beneath her feet disintegrated, launching herself towards Gary like
00:25:49a silver stain. Gary reacted instinctively, swinging his arms in a wide arc to
00:25:55unleash a "claw strike." Brilliant lines of energy sliced through the air, but Jack didn't even
00:26:02He didn't flinch. He didn't try to dodge or stop. The cuts crashed against his chest and
00:26:08They seemed to disintegrate, disappearing upon touching their hardened skin. What? How is that possible?
00:26:15Gary's heart pounded against his ribs. Even training with Lupus, the
00:26:21Gary's attacks always left their mark, regardless of the difference in raw power. Lupus had to...
00:26:28Less intercepting the blows to neutralize them. He couldn't receive them point-blank. But the skin
00:26:35Jack's suit looked like enchanted plate armor. "Salt-o'-little." Gary changed tactics from
00:26:41Immediately. It began bouncing off the walls and floor, zigzagging in a chaotic pattern. With
00:26:48With each jump, he channeled more energy into his legs, increasing his momentum until it was nothing more than a
00:26:55strip of dark hair. With one last explosive leap, Gary launched himself, crashing
00:27:01directly against Jack's enormous body. Jack's reflexes were unmatched. He caught
00:27:07Gary's fists clenched, and the two alphas held hands in a brutal test of strength.
00:27:13The force of Gary's attack pushed Jack back, his heels digging deep furrows into the
00:27:19the cave floor until it finally stopped. They stood chest to chest, two predators
00:27:26Supreme beings growling in each other's faces, their hot breath mingling with the cold air. "Arg!"
00:27:32Gary shouted, putting his whole heart into the effort. This version of Jack didn't have his famous team
00:27:39of beast or his characteristic weapons, but in many ways, that made him even more terrifying.
00:27:45The werewolves of this era were a different breed because they understood ki. Their attacks
00:27:51They weren't just sharp. They were imbued with an internal energy that overcame external resistance to
00:27:58to destroy organs and shatter bones from the inside out. Gary realized he was facing
00:28:04to his most dangerous opponent to date. As Maskey concentrated on his fists, searching for a
00:28:11opening to break Jack's guard, he felt a wave of gratitude for the training that
00:28:16He had endured. He was grateful for every powerful enemy he had consumed to reach this level of
00:28:22strength, but he still underestimated the man in front of him. Lupus lived in a relatively different era
00:28:29safe, training for a threat that might never come, but longing to be free of the
00:28:35Vampires. Gary had worked his way to the top using a system. But Jack? Jack lived in
00:28:42the most brutal era in history. He had survived a lifetime of fighting against
00:28:47unimaginable horrors. And there was one fact that set Jack apart from all other men.
00:28:53the wolf of history. As far as Ki's sheer size was concerned, Jack was an absolute monster and
00:29:00Inexhaustible. Ark! Jack let out a guttural roar. His fur began to vibrate intensely,
00:29:07creating a localized wind tunnel around him. A surge of Ki surged from his body
00:29:12Jack's physical pressure was so intense that it seemed as if the gravity of the room had
00:29:18Tripled. The weight of Jack's aura pressed down on Gary's shoulders, forcing him to his knees.
00:29:24while the stone cracked beneath him. You think so? You think you're the only one with tricks?
00:29:31Gary spat through gritted teeth, his eyes shining with a dark, desperate light.
00:29:36I'll show you the life I've lived to get here, too. The form has been activated.
00:29:42of the werewolf Sadowas. Chapter 1705 The Breath of the Dragon and the Power of the Hero. Gary felt that
00:29:50His entire body was undergoing a radical change. It wasn't a normal transformation. His fur was
00:29:56It turned into an ash-like substance, leaving a trail of dark smoke in its wake.
00:30:03He felt it grow slightly, and the embers were visible with every breath, glowing from the
00:30:09Deeper within his body. This was the form of the shadow ash werewolf, and he needed it.
00:30:16Now more than ever. The pressure emanating from Jack was immense. The sheer amount of
00:30:22Quique's radiant energy was overwhelming Gary, preventing him from even maintaining his balance.
00:30:28standing. But Gary wasn't going to stay on the ground. He forced his head forward, looked Jack straight in the
00:30:34His eyes widened, and his mouth opened as wide as it could. Hellish roar. A vortex of fire erupted from Gary's throat.
00:30:41shooting out like a concentrated jet that hit Jack directly. Because they were so close,
00:30:48Jack had nowhere to go. The heat was intense and instantly filled the space between them. Jack
00:30:55He reacted instinctively. Even in his wild werewolf state, the heat was enough to
00:31:02forcing him back and releasing Gary. The attack didn't seem to do much damage, but it gave Gary the
00:31:08The opportunity he needed. Jack looked around, trying to figure out where Gary had gone.
00:31:15Just to look up and see it descend. Volcanic explosion. The fire engulfed Gary.
00:31:22Complete. It looked like a meteorite as it propelled itself forward with a burst of energy.
00:31:29crashing directly into Jack. The impact was violent. The floor on one side of the cavern began
00:31:36It began to crack, and pieces of the ceiling started to fall. It seemed like the whole place was about to collapse.
00:31:42from collapsing under the force of the fight. Gary jumped to his feet, his gaze fixed
00:31:48in
00:31:48the place where Jack had been blown off. Jack looked hurt, but he was already getting up.
00:31:55Clearly, he still had a lot of strength left. It seems I managed to break through that barrier here, and at least
00:32:01"I hurt you," Gary stated. Now he felt more confident. "That blow is so strong it could go right through."
00:32:08the skin of a dragon. The other werewolves in the cave froze, staring.
00:32:15They were shocked. They had never seen a werewolf like this. For them, such power was beyond belief.
00:32:22It seemed possible. But as they watched the fight, their minds remained focused on hunger. They were
00:32:30Too many ears to appreciate the intensity of the battle. Gary didn't want to give Jack time to
00:32:36She recovered. She started running, moving from side to side at great speed. Amber Dash. She moved with
00:32:44Quickly, searching for the perfect angle to close in and deliver the final blow. But Jack wasn't going to stay.
00:32:51He stood there. He flexed his leg muscles, making the floor creak under his weight, and threw a punch.
00:32:58It was a kick that came out faster than Gary could have anticipated. Although Gary was still far from the
00:33:05Jack's leg, a force struck him right in the center, and for a second, Gary felt as if he
00:33:12He would have crashed into a wall. The force stopped him dead in his tracks. Dash 35 HP. That impact, Gary thought, shaking
00:33:21The head to clear the stars. It hit me harder than anything else. Is this the
00:33:28The true power of combining brute force with Key? Is this the advantage he has over me? Before I
00:33:35Before he could even raise his guard, Jack was already on top of him. He landed a powerful punch that
00:33:42It pierced Gary's stomach. It was a brutal blow. Dash 45 HP. Gary tensed his entire body,
00:33:50He dug his feet into the ground to avoid being knocked down. He opened his mouth again, emitting another
00:33:56a hellish roar to knock Jack down, and then he lunged with his own fist, aiming directly
00:34:03Jack's stomach. But Jack was ready. He planted himself on the ground and took the blow, barely registering it.
00:34:10He didn't flinch. He reached out, grabbed Gary's transformed body, and knocked him down. He gave him a
00:34:17A knee to the stomach, then a straight punch to the head. Gary tried to throw another one.
00:34:23He roared, but Jack was too quick. He positioned himself behind Gary, grabbing his snout with both hands.
00:34:30He used all his strength to keep its mouth closed, preventing the fire from escaping.
00:34:37Then, using a combination of brute force and ki, Jack attacked Gary and violently threw him into the
00:34:43ground. Gary's head hit the rock. He had to move fast, because he saw that
00:34:50Jack was already raising his foot, ready to stomp on it. Using Enverdash, Gary rolled to
00:34:56dodged it just in time. Jack's foot slammed into the ground, sending shockwaves of
00:35:02ki that spread throughout the cavern. Gary stood up and looked at Jack. He realized that something
00:35:08His fighting style was off. He observed Jack's body and saw that, despite everything...
00:35:15The blows, the man barely seemed hurt. "I'm an idiot," Gary thought. "I always do the same thing."
00:35:22I trust my skills and my health bar, waiting for the system to give me a win.
00:35:27instead of using what I've actually learned." He realized that Jack's body was
00:35:33being reinforced by an enormous amount of ki, which made it almost impossible to penetrate.
00:35:38with standard attacks. If he wanted to win, he had to do the same. Gary used Enverdash again,
00:35:45moving from side to side as he approached Jack. Trusting in the system and the ways in
00:35:54From the place of ki control where he worked, Jack launched another enormous kick, whose speed
00:36:00It caused a whistling sound in the air. This time, using Enverdash, Gary activated the ki in his feet. The momentum
00:36:09This further propelled him forward, allowing him to dodge the kick and penetrate the guard.
00:36:14Jack's. The volcanic eruption caused some damage, but use my whole body like a meteor.
00:36:21It spreads too far. I don't yet have the skill to control the ki throughout my entire body.
00:36:27"That way, but I can definitely do it with my fist." The embers began to swirl.
00:36:34around Gary's fist, spinning faster and faster. He combined his brute strength with the flames and
00:36:41He concentrated all his ki at that point. He attacked, slamming his fist into Jack's stomach. A
00:36:49New ability. Volcanic Fist. Chapter 1706 The Hero and the Alpha. A vortex of flames erupted from the fist of
00:36:58Gary upon impact. His entire arm, from the fur to the claws, seemed to be overflowing
00:37:04of an intense orange heat, as if his own hand had turned into a meteorite.
00:37:11The blow lodged deep in Jack's stomach, and for the first time, Gary felt like
00:37:16It broke through the invisible barrier that protected Ike. The force of the impact was so great that the enormous
00:37:22Jack's body lifted off the ground. He flew through space, crashing violently into the
00:37:29the cave wall with a dull, terrifying crash. The force of the impact caused large pieces of
00:37:35Rocks broke off from the ceiling. Lupus reacted quickly, seeing that the debris was
00:37:42It was about to crush the other captives. It unleashed its own energy claw attacks, shredding
00:37:48The rocks fell before they could hit anyone. Meanwhile, Gary remained
00:37:54He stared incredulously at his own hand. It still glowed with a faint orange light, but the intensity had already faded.
00:38:02It began to fade and revert to its normal form of shadowy ash. But what was that?
00:38:08Gary thought, his heart pounding. Did the system really just say I created one?
00:38:14new skill. I was trying to process how it had happened. I hadn't followed any instructions or
00:38:21Specific instructions. I was simply desperate to find a way to penetrate.
00:38:27Jack's defense. He had concentrated all his ki into his fist while maintaining the form of
00:38:33Ashen lycanthrope. Mentally, he had been thinking about the destructive power of his attack.
00:38:40Powerful, the volcanic explosion. Somehow, he had managed to channel that same explosive effect into
00:38:47A single punch. The enormous power of that blow was incomparable to anything I had ever felt before.
00:38:54Although Gary had learned to use ki to some extent before reaching this point, he had
00:39:00Used primarily as a tool to draw out the full power of his beastly weapon. He knew how to use it.
00:39:06to increase the impact or speed of a blow, but never to the level of creating a skill
00:39:12completely new and recognized by the system. Stagnating in this dangerous era already forced him to.
00:39:18to grow in unexpected ways. However, as the adrenaline began to subside,
00:39:25He noticed a major drawback. Maintaining this level of ki control, especially combined with his
00:39:32In other ways, it consumed his energy reserves at an alarming rate. Fortunately, he had a huge
00:39:39a reserve of energy to draw from, and the fact that he fought at night gave him a boost
00:39:44inherent, but he still had to be extremely cautious. At the rate he was going, it was very likely that his
00:39:52His energy would run out even before his hit points. If that happened, he would be an easy target. In the middle
00:39:59During these calculations, the sound of a moving stone caught his attention. He looked up and saw Jack.
00:40:06emerging from the crater in the wall. Blood dripped from the corner of the hero's mouth, and a visible
00:40:12A burn mark was visible on his chest where the volcanic fist had struck. Despite the damage,
00:40:19Jack still looked like a huge beast, ready to fight at any moment. He didn't seem discouraged.
00:40:26On the contrary, he seemed wilder. He let out a low growl and lunged forward again.
00:40:32without having slowed down in the slightest. As Jack approached, Gary began to brandish
00:40:39The hands, launching a series of claws that mingled with their ashen flames. The bright
00:40:46Arcs of energy streaked through the air and struck Jack's body, but just like before,
00:40:51They didn't seem to do much. Jack just walked right through them. Gary realized that, while he could
00:40:58Injecting more and in their ranged attacks, they wouldn't cause significant damage unless
00:41:04He got close enough to use his new ability. The problem was, he wasn't sure.
00:41:09to be able to land another clean blow with the volcanic fist now that Jack was on guard.
00:41:15When Jack caught up to him, he brandished a huge arm, trying to rip Gary's head off. Gary ducked.
00:41:22Just in time, feeling the wind from the blow pass overhead. The attack failed and crashed into the
00:41:29The cavern wall behind him shook, rattling the entire place again. Gary countered with a punch.
00:41:35Quick and charged with Ki, it hit Jack right in the stomach, but at that same instant,
00:41:41Jack's other arm swung across and struck Gary in the face. Before Gary could react
00:41:46account,
00:41:47He found himself embroiled in another deadly fight. They were face to face, striking each other with
00:41:53A flurry of blows. Neither of them was blocking anymore. They were both just trying to inflict as much damage as possible.
00:42:00possible to end the fight. "I'm not going to lose this," Gary thought, his vision blurred by the
00:42:06The impact of Jack's fists. "I have a last ounce of resistance if things get ugly, but with
00:42:12"The damage caused by each of these blows means I'll have to use it much sooner than I wanted."
00:42:18As another of Jack's punches headed straight for Gary's face, a hand reached out from a
00:42:24He moved to the side and grabbed Jack's wrist. At the same time, another fist emerged from the shadows and
00:42:30It hit Jack squarely in the face. Before Jack could react to the new threat,
00:42:36A powerful kick struck him in the stomach, followed by a flurry of claws that exploded like
00:42:42A whirlwind swirled around the hero's body. "Lupus," Gary said, breathing heavily as
00:42:49He saw the other werewolf standing beside him. "Don't worry, I've already taken care of the others."
00:42:54Lupus said calmly despite the chaos. "I've secured the exits, so there's no need to..."
00:43:01For now, we shouldn't worry about whether they escape. If they manage to get up and try to get out, well,
00:43:07We can deal with that later. Right now, this guy is a bit more important.
00:43:14Lupus looked at Gary with a slight smile. "Gary, as I watched you, I realized that we
00:43:21We seem more like that than I thought. But I think the most important thing I learned today is that I no longer...
00:43:26"We're alone. We can do this together." Lupus suddenly bent his knees, and Gary could see
00:43:34the chiasm of his body. It was an enormous amount, covering him from head to toe. In that
00:43:41At that moment, Lupus felt just as intimidating as Jack. The sheer amount of energy surrounding him
00:43:47He showed why he was considered an elite fighter. Seeing his friend ready to give it his all,
00:43:54Gary smiled. He focused his energy into his fist, and the embers swirled around him once more.
00:44:00spinning faster as the heat increased. They both saw Jack charging at them.
00:44:06New, with its mouth open in a silent roar. It came with everything it had left. Lupus and Gary
00:44:13They advanced in unison, throwing punches with all their might. They were ready to strike Jack with
00:44:20a combined force, no matter what the hero threw at them. Chapter 1707 The Evolution of the
00:44:28pack. The impact was unlike anything Gary and Lupus had ever felt before. The newly created
00:44:35Volcanic Fist struck Jack with tremendous power, but it wasn't the only one. It was combined with the
00:44:41perfection with Lupus's enormous reserve here and his own transformed strength. The two alphas launched
00:44:48Their perfectly synchronized punches, and the resulting power level, was a novelty for both of them.
00:44:54When his fists sank deep into Jack's torso, the sound that followed was not just a
00:45:01not a dull thud, but the sound of a sound barrier breaking. The blows pierced the layer
00:45:07defensive wounds that Jack still retained. At the moment of impact, a large, visible ring of
00:45:13Power exploded in all directions, scattering dust and loose stones from the cavern. Jack emerged
00:45:20Flying through the air like a cannonball. Her body moved so fast it blurred.
00:45:25before crashing into the wall of the farthest cavern for the second time. This time, the damage to
00:45:31The environmental damage was far more serious. Jack's body not only dented the rock, but it sank it.
00:45:38deep down, creating a crater that looked like the site of an impact. Large, irregular cracks,
00:45:44Veins of fragmented earth extended from the point of impact, spreading across
00:45:50the floor, climbing the walls and forming a web across the ceiling. During some terrifying
00:45:56For seconds, they felt as if the whole place was collapsing on top of them. The roar of the mountain
00:46:02It was deafening, but as the tremors finally ceased and the dust began to settle,
00:46:08The cavern held firm. "The truth is, I was worried the whole place would collapse."
00:46:14"For a moment," Lupus commented, his voice slightly tense as he tried to recover
00:46:20The breath. He surveyed the destruction they had just caused. "And Jack?" Gary asked, his eyes fixed on the scene.
00:46:27stared at the crater. "You don't think we hit him so hard that he ended up killing him, do you?" "It was a lot
00:46:34"Power." Gary didn't wait for an answer. He ran quickly to the wall to see how he was.
00:46:40The fallen hero. Lupus waited a few steps behind, his guard up in case
00:46:47They needed for a second round. As he watched Gary, Lupus wiggled his fingers and flexed
00:46:54The hand kept moving. The sensation of that last blow still vibrated in his arm, and he wanted to memorize the
00:47:00The sensation and flow of Ki for the future. He knew he had just reached a new level of strength.
00:47:07Finally, Gary reached the rubble and saw where Jack was buried. To his relief,
00:47:13The man was no longer in his monstrous werewolf form. The transformation had occurred.
00:47:19from the trauma of the blow. Moving quickly into the dust, Gary began to pull Jack out of the
00:47:26rock. He dragged him to a flatter area and laid him on the ground, immediately bending down to
00:47:32He wanted to check his pulse. He wanted to make sure the legendary figure was still breathing and alive.
00:47:39Fortunately, after a few tense seconds, he felt the steady, though weak, beating of a heart.
00:47:47The good news was that, although Jack had been seriously injured and was completely
00:47:52Unconscious, her life did not appear to be in critical condition. Both were unaware of all the details.
00:47:59that moment, but the reason Jack was able to transform despite his hunger was because he used
00:48:04His Ki, his own life energy, to fuel his body. He had already exhausted all his reserves of
00:48:11usual energy, which is why it didn't transform when the full moon appeared. The strong blow and the
00:48:18The small break in their concentration caused by the double blow was enough to break their
00:48:23concentration, causing his Ki to fluctuate and revert his body to its human state.
00:48:29Lupus and Gary got to work immediately. They couldn't take any chances with a man.
00:48:35as dangerous as Jack. They used the heavy spare chains that hung on the walls of the cavern and
00:48:42They tied him up tightly. Then they went to the other werewolves who had been left unconscious.
00:48:47During the chaos, making sure everyone was restrained. It became a repetitive process. As soon as
00:48:55One of the werewolves was beginning to awaken; Lupus approached and slapped him hard. Not only that
00:49:02It was cruel. He was giving their bodies something small to heal, trying to drain their energy.
00:49:09remaining so they couldn't transform. Even if that didn't work, a strong slap from Lupus with
00:49:16The Ki concentrated in the right place was practically enough to render them unconscious.
00:49:21for another hour. Since the werewolves didn't all wake up at the same time, they both managed
00:49:27to control the situation and keep everyone under control. Finally, it seemed that everything was under control.
00:49:34except that the situation had calmed down in his area. Gary decided he needed to see how things were going.
00:49:41The rest of his team. He told Lupus to stay put while he headed to the other cavern.
00:49:46where Kai was, just to see if everything was alright there. While Gary was walking through the tunnels,
00:49:53He began to reflect on his battle with Jack. He couldn't help but notice that there were things that seemed
00:49:59There were very different werewolves of the past than those of his time. Although Gary had seen some
00:50:05members of the pack in the past with skills related to the classes they taught, not the
00:50:11He had seen with as much clarity or definition as during his time with his own pack. He felt
00:50:17curiosity about what might have happened over the years. Most of the werewolves of
00:50:23The people I knew from the past seemed to be just that: werewolves. They relied on brute strength and speed.
00:50:31and the standard transformations. A major advantage Gary had in his fight wasn't just his ash form.
00:50:37not only their unique abilities, but also their class system. Their class granted them more energy and a
00:50:44He possessed a much greater health reserve than a standard werewolf, granting him the resilience
00:50:49necessary to survive Jack's attack. At that time, it seemed that social classes didn't yet exist.
00:50:56established. Gary had already spoken about this with Kai and the others because they had observed things
00:51:02similar throughout their journey. Together, they came to a conclusion. The werewolves had followed
00:51:09evolving. Over generations, they acquired more powers and as they were produced
00:51:15Through mutations and changes within the different herds, individuals began to strengthen
00:51:21following different and specialized paths. These individuals would be specifically trained
00:51:27on those paths, and their bodies would adapt better to them over time, which ultimately
00:51:33This would give rise to the different kinds that Gary knew. In a way, the werewolves of Gary's time
00:51:40They had a huge advantage thanks to these specialized classes, which simply did not exist in the
00:51:46Past. If Jack had been a powerful paladin or a warrior with the additional class advantages
00:51:52Things would have been very different if Gary had enjoyed himself. The same could have been said if Jack had been there.
00:51:58He would have been equipped with beastmen's gear and enchanted items. Most importantly, if he had
00:52:05He was lucid and would have fought with all his tactical intelligence. I had many advantages in
00:52:11"That fight," Gary admitted as he walked. "The outcome was good and we survived, but I have..."
00:52:17I need to remember that. I need to take advantage of everything I've learned here and keep growing. With those...
00:52:24Thoughts swirling in his head, Gary entered the next cavern. Chapter 1708 The next morning. When Gary
00:52:33He entered the second cave, his mind racing with two very different possibilities. He had waited
00:52:40finding Kai in a desperate situation, needing all the help Gary could get
00:52:45to offer it to him because the situation had spiraled out of control, or to find him completely alone. After all,
00:52:52Kai was the man with the plan, the one who tried to take every variable into account. His confidence was his
00:52:59That's why he had insisted on managing his section of the tunnels alone. What Gary didn't
00:53:04What he expected was the scene unfolding before his eyes. The cavern teemed with activity, but not
00:53:11There were only werewolves. Knights of the Red Winged Kingdom descended the stone steps in rows.
00:53:17They were organized and carried the werewolves' bodies to the central area. Gary's eyes widened.
00:53:24He stopped when he saw a familiar figure among the men in armor. Bluebird was entering with the others.
00:53:29With a somber expression, he led the knights' march. "What's going on here?" he asked.
00:53:36Gary, his voice booming as he ran towards Kai. Kai turned around, looking relatively unharmed despite
00:53:43of the chaos that must have ensued. The fact that you're finally here. I suppose things have
00:53:51"Where were you?" Kai asked, his tone as calm as ever. Gary nodded, confirming the
00:53:58situation with Jack and Lupus, but upon seeing the werewolves they brought, he felt a chill in his
00:54:04stomach. He noticed that several of the werewolves the knights were carrying were completely
00:54:10Motionless. They were dead. Upon closer inspection of the fallen, Gary realized they weren't
00:54:17There were no claw or tooth wounds. They were clean, deep cuts, sword wounds. Some werewolves
00:54:25They managed to escape their bonds, Kai replied, anticipating Gary's question before he could
00:54:31could formulate it. The knights had no choice but to eliminate them to prevent them from reaching
00:54:37the city. The same thing happened to me. I had to do what needed to be done. Kai pointed to the growing pile of
00:54:44corpses. Not all of them are from this cave. Some of these werewolves attacked the wall directly.
00:54:51From outside. I suppose they were part of Esteve's pack that stayed out there. We brought them in.
00:54:58because we were sure that when Esteve and the others finally came to, they would want
00:55:03Say goodbye. They deserve a proper burial, at the very least. Kai continued explaining the problems
00:55:10specifics he had faced and the exact reasons why some werewolves had
00:55:16He managed to break free. Gary listened to every word, absorbing the weight of the night's losses.
00:55:23As they spoke, Gary observed the knights stationed in the cavern. They were keeping close to the
00:55:29surviving werewolves, carrying out a more organized version of what Lupus had been doing.
00:55:36Now that the werewolves were weaker than before, partially unconscious, exhausted, and wounded
00:55:43In the frenzy of the night, a simple fist infused with [something] was enough to keep them at bay.
00:55:49Whenever a werewolf showed signs of becoming agitated or transforming further, a knight
00:55:55He delivered a precise blow to keep it in place. However, it was a strange sight. Some
00:56:01Werewolves, no matter how many times they were unconscious, remained trapped in their states
00:56:07transformed. Their bodies refused to revert while the curse remained active. Gary took his
00:56:14It's time to explain everything that happened. The battle with Jack, the appearance of the volcanic fist, and the state
00:56:21from the other cavern. Kai's expression didn't change much. He didn't seem surprised at all, especially
00:56:29Because he wasn't. He had already anticipated that Gary would encounter a significant obstacle given how late it was.
00:56:35that had arrived. We did what we could, Kai said, staring at the ceiling as if he could see the sky.
00:56:42through the rock. I think it was a titanic task for us from the beginning. Probably because
00:56:49That's why the system restored most of our powers. The creators of this test knew.
00:56:54He knew exactly how difficult it was going to be. He checked the time. Only a few hours until sunrise. When
00:57:02Go outside, the curse should disappear, and it will finally be over. Everyone spent those last few hours together.
00:57:09On high alert. There was a constant, underlying worry that something else might happen, that
00:57:16More werewolves would scale the kingdom's walls, or another wave of madness would be unleashed. However,
00:57:23In the end, nothing else happened. The night remained calm until the first rays of the sun began.
00:57:30to appear on the horizon. As if sunlight were a universal signal, the werewolves,
00:57:37Still transformed but chained, they finally began to change. Their fur faded,
00:57:43His bones regained their human form and the predatory gleam left his eyes. They were returning to their
00:57:51normal forms. The day of the curse had officially ended, but its effects were going to last.
00:57:57A long time passed in all of them. When Esteve finally awoke and emerged from his state of bloody madness,
00:58:04He looked at the others lying in the center of the room. Upon realizing what had happened and seeing the
00:58:10The bodies of his pack members, all of them could see him holding back tears. He hated him. He hated that
00:58:17All of this had happened under his supervision, and he hated that Unosco had achieved one last victory.
00:58:24about them in the end. The same thing happened to Jack. When the legendary Alpha finally regained consciousness,
00:58:31Memories of the night flooded back to him. He remembered what he had done. He remembered the feeling of losing.
00:58:37the control of her own body. And what hurt her most, she remembered that her own pack had
00:58:43They were facing each other, consumed by their insatiable hunger. Immediately, Jack went to comfort the
00:58:51survivors. He went one by one, telling them it wasn't their fault, that what they had done
00:58:57While the curse held them captive, it wasn't their responsibility. It was a trauma they would have to deal with.
00:59:02They overcame it together, but the worst part was the understanding the three travelers shared. This wasn't
00:59:08A unique event. It was a cycle that would occur every month. There was no time to rest. Even in his state
00:59:16Feeling weak, Jack wanted to start looking for a solution as soon as possible to make sure that this
00:59:22It would never happen again. Both herds began to emerge from the caverns, returning to the surface.
00:59:29Before leaving, Esteve made sure to thank Bluebird and his group of knights. There was no
00:59:36There was hatred between them, only mutual respect for having survived the night. Esteve then turned
00:59:42He thanked the three of them, Gary, Kai, and the others, but there was a strange look in his eyes.
00:59:50His eyes. For some reason, he felt it was the last time he would see them. When the werewolves
00:59:56Finally, they left the kingdom's territory; a familiar ringing sound echoed in their minds.
01:00:02Travelers. A series of system messages appeared before their eyes. Mission complete.
01:00:08Save the Red Wing Kingdom. Final mission. Talk to Jack Dem. Chapter 1709 The Elusive Alpha.
01:00:18The appearance of the words, the final mission. It was, in a way, gratifying for everyone. It was the so
01:00:27long-awaited confirmation that all the blood, sweat, and tactical maneuvers they had invested
01:00:33In this world, they truly led to something. Throughout their time in this past era,
01:00:38Some of them had constantly wondered whether they should trust blindly
01:00:43in the system's instructions or if they were simply leading them into an even deeper trap.
01:00:49At the same time, the moral weight of his actions was driving Kai mad. He was a man who
01:00:55He preferred to know the exact consequences of his actions, and the ambiguity of doing it right.
01:01:01The incorrect or inaccurate historical simulation was a heavy burden. Gary noticed that Kai felt a huge
01:01:07Relief came when another mission appeared on the interface. It meant they hadn't reached a dead end.
01:01:14Exit. The previous mission. Saving the kingdom from the red wing. It had been particularly stressful because
01:01:22to the vagueness of the parameters. They didn't even know what it really meant to save the kingdom.
01:01:28Did it mean that if even one human had died, they would have failed? Did it mean that they had to
01:01:34save the entire city from total annihilation? It made them think, what would have happened if they hadn't
01:01:41Were they there to intervene? Without them to warn Jack and the others about the inevitable
01:01:46The impending curse would have taken the kingdom by surprise. If this was a true reenactment
01:01:53From the past, did the original timeline end in a massacre? Although Bluebird and his
01:01:59The knights were strong, Gary couldn't imagine they would be enough to contain the combined fury.
01:02:05and the uncontrolled behavior of Jack, Esteve, and the whole pack. It was a grim thought, but not worth dwelling on.
01:02:12They weren't overthinking it. They needed to focus on the goal. The problem was that never, not in a hundred years,
01:02:20They imagined they would have difficulties with a mission as simple as talking to Jack Dem.
01:02:27They had spoken to him countless times. It seemed like the simplest task the system could assign them.
01:02:34Originally, after sunrise and the end of the transformation, they considered cornering him.
01:02:40immediate. However, Jack was in the middle of a disaster zone. He was tending to the wounded,
01:02:48She organized the survivors and tried to manage the grief of those who had lost
01:02:53to members of their pack. It just didn't seem like the right time to interfere with their own
01:02:59questions. Even after finishing the immediate cleanup, he met with his wife, Lily. It seemed
01:03:06completely exhausted, looking like a man who just wanted to rest and find a moment of
01:03:13Peace. It was understandable. No matter how much Gary, Kai, and Lupus told themselves that this world was
01:03:19False or just a memory, they could no longer see it that way. The emotions were too real, the blood
01:03:26It was too hot, and the stakes seemed to be a matter of life and death. If only they had to
01:03:33Waiting one more day to talk to him wouldn't matter much in the grand scheme of things, considering the time.
01:03:39that they had already been trapped there. When the next day arrived, the three of them were ready. They knew that,
01:03:47After this last conversation, they could return to the present at any moment. They wondered
01:03:53What would they find? Would they reappear at the exact moment they disappeared? Would they appear somewhere else?
01:04:00Was it chance? Or would the time they spent there have also passed in the real world? They had to be
01:04:06prepared for anything, to intervene in a war that could still be underway,
01:04:12or to deal with the consequences of what might have happened during their absence. They arrived at the office
01:04:18Jack and they pushed open the door after hearing a familiar voice telling them to come in. But
01:04:24When they entered, they were met with a surprise. "Huh? Where's Jack?" Gary asked, looking around.
01:04:32of the room. The man behind the desk wasn't the legendary alpha. It was Galdark. Advertisements of
01:04:39PubFuture. PubFuture ads. I thought you'd be here to see it, Galdark said, leaning back in the
01:04:47chair. Unfortunately, he's been called to an emergency meeting with the council. You see, the people
01:04:55She is incredibly worried after what happened last night. It was an unprecedented event. An attack
01:05:02of that magnitude by the werewolves with whom they have lived for years. Galdark
01:05:07He sighed, looking somewhat exhausted. There were already many people against the idea of werewolves.
01:05:14in the kingdom. And as always, politics interferes. There are those on the council who only want to win votes.
01:05:21pretending to do something for the people. Others are just trying to weaken the position of the
01:05:27Opposition. As council seats can be replaced if someone gets enough votes
01:05:33votes; some people find it convenient to turn everyone against Jack to achieve their own ends.
01:05:39The inner workings of the council sounded almost like the beginning of modern politics,
01:05:45only on a much smaller and more primitive scale. The three of them wanted to laugh at what this
01:05:50The system would eventually come into being, but they chose to remain silent. It didn't matter now.
01:05:57Well, all three of them seem disappointed, Galdark remarked. Is there anything I can do to help? I can do
01:06:04"Practically the same as Jack in terms of authority." "No," Lupu said bluntly, turning to face the
01:06:12"Door. You can't do what we want." "So what?" Galdark asked, raising an eyebrow.
01:06:20Confused. What does that mean? Of course I can. I mean, at least let me try. Well, Lupus has
01:06:29"That's reasonable," Kai said, with a diplomatic but firm smile. "Unless you can become Jack."
01:06:36You can't do anything for us right now. If you could let us know as soon as you're free,
01:06:42It would be a great help. They got out, but it was only the beginning of their problems.
01:06:49Contacting Jack was becoming much more difficult than they had anticipated. Chapter 1710,
01:06:55The final preparations. The three waited what seemed like an eternity. They didn't stay in the
01:07:02Jack's office, because they felt they had struck a chord with Galdark by rejecting their offer
01:07:08of help. Instead, they returned to the heart of the red-winged kingdom, hoping to spend the
01:07:14They spent some time observing the life of the herd, as they usually did. However, they soon realized that
01:07:21It was impossible. The atmosphere in the city had completely changed. The streets, once vibrant and
01:07:28Filled with werewolves and knights training together, they were eerily quiet.
01:07:34There were hardly any members of the pack in public, no fighting, no laughter, no camaraderie
01:07:41bustling that had defined the place just a few days before. The weight of the curse and the
01:07:46The political consequences had forced everyone into hiding. Upon realizing their mistake in thinking that
01:07:53They could simply wait as usual; they retired to their chambers. The hours passed.
01:08:00with agonizing slowness as they discussed their next steps in circles. Finally,
01:08:06Unable to remain still any longer, they returned to Galdark.
01:08:11"Oh, I'm sorry. I have very bad news," said Galdark, looking up from a mountain.
01:08:18of papers. He hesitated a moment before looking at them. "First, are you absolutely sure that you don't
01:08:26How can I help? I don't know what impression you have of me, but when I put my mind to it, I can solve problems.
01:08:32Problems. After all, I was the one who tracked down Lenny and Bliss. Frustration was growing. How could they
01:08:40to explain to a man of that time that his very existence there was linked to a conversation
01:08:45"Specifically with a specific person? Look, the truth is we planned to leave," Kai said.
01:08:52choosing her words carefully. "And before we leave, we need to talk to Jack. That's why it's
01:08:59so important to us. It's a crucial matter." Galdark scratched his head, understanding
01:09:06Finally, why were they so insistent? "The problem is that Jack still hasn't returned. And, frankly,
01:09:13I don't know when he'll do it. I've just been told that Jack left the Red Winged Kingdom. He said he had
01:09:20Something urgent that needed to be addressed. The group felt a sinking sensation in their chests. "He mentioned
01:09:27the need to ensure that future generations do not have to deal with the problems
01:09:32"that we faced last night," Galdark continued. "He wants to make sure we all learn from certain
01:09:38Mistakes. But I have no idea where it went. Although I don't think it'll be gone for long. No
01:09:45"I would abandon the pack in a moment of need like this." The three felt defeated. They were
01:09:52So close to the goal, but life, or the simulation, kept throwing obstacles in their way. They realized
01:10:00They might have to wait another day, or perhaps until nightfall. Instead of wasting time sitting around
01:10:06In a room, they decided to separate one last time to tie up loose ends. Gary headed
01:10:13directly to the great forge. After experiencing the power of the warhammer and seeing the artifacts
01:10:19He wanted to know more about the legendary tools Jack and Esteve used. He spoke with the master blacksmiths, asking them
01:10:26about the materials and techniques used to create equipment capable of withstanding the power of an alpha.
01:10:32Deep down, he was looking for a clue, a hint that would tell him where they might be buried or
01:10:38I hid these objects for the future. I hoped I would never need them, but if the day ever came when
01:10:45He needed armor like Jack's, and he wanted to know where to start looking. Kai went to look for
01:10:51Bluebird. I wanted to show him the progress I had made with my ki and hoped to get some
01:10:57Final suggestions. Kai knew he would probably never physically reach the raw power of
01:11:03Lupus or Gary, but he saw the Blue Bird technique as his bridge. If he managed to master the ability of
01:11:10projecting his intention and through a sword, he could still be an extremely useful member
01:11:16of the group. Bluebird was happy to see him and didn't hold back. He showed Kai how the blows of
01:11:23ki they could
01:11:23to emerge from the sword, and even more importantly, how the blow could be formed in the mind even before
01:11:29that the leaf moved. "I don't usually do this with just anyone," said Bluebird with a knowing look.
01:11:36"But I will prove it to you as many times as necessary. I have a feeling that soon..."
01:11:42"You'll leave us." "Right?" "Ha ha, right," Kai replied, his eyes fixed on the movements
01:11:49of the knight. And the enemies we face at home could be even more numerous.
01:11:55greater than those you have faced. Lupus wandered the quiet paths of the kingdom. No
01:12:02He felt no need to say goodbye to the forge or the training grounds. He had learned what
01:12:08that she needed. As she walked, she bumped into Lily. They didn't talk much, but as they passed each other, they stopped and...
01:12:16They bowed deeply. "Thank you," Lily said softly. "Thank you for everything."
01:12:23"You did for us and for what you did in the tunnels." Lupus smiled, a genuine expression and
01:12:30uncommon. "Perhaps the person I find doesn't have to be like me. A werewolf isn't that
01:12:37"Bad," he chuckled to himself, thinking about the Democratic legacy. "Someone has to carry on the tradition."
01:12:43"family, and I'm not sure my nephew will ever have children at this rate." While the sun
01:12:50As the sun began to set over the horizon, the three of them reunited in the main hall. The air
01:12:57It changed. The heavy footsteps of the Alpha hero echoed down the corridor. Jack had finally returned. That was it.
01:13:05Everything. The final mission awaited us just behind the office door.
