00:00:00My Werewolf System. Chapters 1731 to 1740. Chapter 1731: Act Like What You Are.
00:00:10After receiving the information from Marcus, the group quickly understood their next steps
00:00:16They couldn't be managed by a single team. There was too much uncertainty, too many questions.
00:00:22There was no response, and the situation itself was too dangerous to handle carelessly.
00:00:29Finally, they split into two teams to cover multiple roles at once. One team was
00:00:35led by Sin. As for the other, that responsibility fell to Marie. Her objective
00:00:42It was simple in theory, but complex in practice. They needed to find any clue, any
00:00:48thing, related to this mysterious third type of werewolf pack that seemed to exist in
00:00:54the shadows, or the fourth if you counted all the alphas. The problem was that it wasn't about
00:01:00simply from a rebel group they had previously overlooked. Of everything they had gathered
00:01:06Until now, this werewolf didn't seem to have any connection to Lupus. Nor did he belong to the
00:01:12Howlers. That left only one possibility.
00:01:16Anzoku. Especially after hearing Marcus's descriptions, it was clear that this
00:01:22The creature didn't match any known werewolf. Its mere presence was strange.
00:01:29unnatural, as if it didn't conform to the same rules that governed everyone else. Unfortunately,
00:01:36They had very little to go on. The only concrete clue they had was the city where Marcus was...
00:01:42He first encountered the werewolf. That was all. No name. No clear sightings. No
00:01:50a pattern they could trace. So Marie made the call. They would go there themselves. Like
00:01:57It was very likely that this would turn into a dangerous situation; Marie wasn't traveling alone. There were
00:02:04She had carefully chosen who to take with her. The first was Inú, who had proven to be
00:02:10Exceptionally skilled and powerful after his training with the altered hunters. He was
00:02:16Reliable, perceptive, and able to adapt quickly to combat. Next was Austin, one of the
00:02:23the strongest mythical beings in the world. Their mere presence was enough to deter most of
00:02:30The threats. And finally, there was one more. As the group walked together through the open streets of the
00:02:37In the city, Inú looked to his side and his eyes fell on the smallest member of the group. Then,
00:02:44Inú said casually, "Can you remind me why we brought this little one?" "Little one?" Slit retorted.
00:02:52Instant. You're too trusting to be a human; I would have devoured you in seconds.
00:02:58"Ah, yes," Inú replied, raising an eyebrow. "Then tell me, between you and Lucen, who is more..."
00:03:07Strong? Because I should remind you that I beat Lucen in a one-on-one. He smiled slightly. Sometimes not
00:03:14There's no reason to fight if we already know the answer. Slit gritted his teeth, visibly irritated. His hand
00:03:22It contracted, and for a moment it seemed as if it was about to transform. Before the situation
00:03:29"If it gets worse," Marie intervened. "Enough," she said firmly. They both stopped. "Slit," Marie continued,
00:03:38Turning to him. You said you were good at finding clues. That you saw things others didn't.
00:03:45They can see. Galdark recommended you for this task. She looked around the group. And remember,
00:03:52Now you're part of us. We're all on the same side. Human or not, we all collaborate with
00:03:59the howler monkeys. Even as she said those words, Marie was very aware that she
00:04:05She herself didn't truly belong to the howler pack. She remained connected to Kai, and that
00:04:11The connection hadn't disappeared. Still, the point remained. Well, if you ask me. Slit said.
00:04:20After a moment, we should go to the police station and ask. The others turned towards
00:04:27Him. Guys, you have to remember who you are. You're Kings, one of the best bands in the world. He shrank.
00:04:35They'll shrug their shoulders. If you just mention who you are, they'll break protocol and tell you what's been going on.
00:04:42So we follow the trail by smell. What if they don't believe us? Inú asked skeptically.
00:04:49"It's easy," Slit replied without hesitation. "Prove you're one of the Howlers." "How?" Marie asked cautiously.
00:04:58Slit smiled. You start breaking things. The other three exchanged glances. None of them had
00:05:07They had handled things this way before. This wasn't how they usually approached investigations.
00:05:13And it definitely wasn't subtle. Still, they didn't exactly have a better idea. After a brief pause,
00:05:21Maria felt it. Okay, let's try it. They entered the police station and approached the receptionist.
00:05:30Maria spoke first, calmly asking about any recent deaths, especially those that
00:05:36They seemed extreme or unusual. And if there have been a number of them, he added. Like the rose
00:05:43Blanca no longer existed; now it was the responsibility of the police department to deal with those cases.
00:05:49As expected, the officer behind the counter frowned. It's confidential information.
00:05:56He said firmly. "You can't just come here and ask for something like that." He adjusted his posture. "I know that today in
00:06:05People like to make fun of the police these days, but we take our job seriously. Oh, yes.
00:06:12Innu murmured softly. Great plan, Slit. A really great plan. Well? Slit replied. Why
00:06:22Why aren't you following through on what I told you before declaring my plan a failure? Even though it was embarrassing,
00:06:28Maria decided to press on. “We are the Howlers,” she said clearly. “And we request your…”
00:06:35Help with this. It's very important. The officer shuddered slightly. Then he looked down at them.
00:06:42Down below. And I'm Santa Claus once a year for my children, he replied curtly. Look,
00:06:49Vitt, I don't know if you're doing this for a documentary or as a joke, but we have serious problems to solve.
00:06:56They tried to remember what Slit had suggested next. Before anyone could say anything,
00:07:02Austin took a step forward. And then he did something neither of them expected. His body began to
00:07:10transform. The bones cracked and expanded as its form grew.
00:07:16His body transformed into its enormous minotaur form right there inside the police station. It was a
00:07:22Madness. But Austin didn't hesitate. He raised his arm and slammed it down, bending the counter.
00:07:29Metal nearly split in half with a deafening noise. We are the howlers, Austin declared. And we demand
00:07:37Information. Immediately, the officer shouted. The entire department erupted in chaos. The officers
00:07:45They rushed to comply, to gather files and reports, desperate to give them everything they could.
00:07:51They needed. Slit watched everything with a satisfied smile. It's time the cages learned to
00:07:58Do things a little more properly. He said. Chapter 1732. Taking the Blame. The group hated
00:08:06Admittedly, Slit's plan had worked quite well. Much better than expected.
00:08:13The police had handed over everything they had, from recent files to old reports.
00:08:19They dated from the time Marcus claimed to have seen the werewolf. They were given photographs,
00:08:25witness statements, sketches, and even internal notes that would not normally leave the
00:08:30department. And it was clear that fear had greatly influenced police cooperation.
00:08:36Some officers spoke carefully, measuring their words, while others almost rushed in.
00:08:43in their explanations, as if they were afraid that refusing or withholding information would somehow anger them.
00:08:49The police had even offered to escort them around the city, suggesting patrols and officers to
00:08:55to help secure the locations and guide them to the places where the incidents occurred. It was almost
00:09:01It was ridiculous how quickly the situation had changed. Marie declined the offer almost immediately, and the
00:09:08The others accepted without hesitation. The police presence would only make things worse. If word got out
00:09:15too quickly, or if the person in charge noticed an increase in police activity in certain areas,
00:09:21It was very likely that he would go into hiding. That would make tracking him very difficult, if not impossible.
00:09:28"This is insane," Marie said as she continued reading the reports, her eyes scanning lines of
00:09:35I repeated the text over and over again as if trying to make sense of something that didn't quite fit.
00:09:40"What do you mean?" Austin asked. "It's what we thought. That there are still some left here in the..."
00:09:47city? —Most likely —Marie replied. —There have been similar deaths that continue to occur,
00:09:53even after Marcus left. He skimmed through another set of documents, arranging them for
00:10:01that others could see them. There's also a report on the body Marcus found, so it's
00:10:07His death was confirmed. But when you look at all of this together, these don't seem like isolated incidents. There's something.
00:10:14The most important thing at stake. He pointed out several locations marked on a map. The police managed to detect
00:10:21Patterns, not only in this city, but in several cities across the country. The same type of deaths, the same
00:10:29The type of injuries matches the descriptions given by witnesses. It's too consistent. It's not normal.
00:10:37Inú asked. People are dying every day. There are still many gangs and evil, disturbed individuals out there. Attacks
00:10:45Similar things don't sound so strange. Marie shook her head slowly. Some of these reports
00:10:52They include photos and detailed descriptions. I've never heard of anything like this. Big brands of
00:10:59There are no bite marks on the body. They are not torn or ripped apart, but clean bites. Large
00:11:07Portions of meat eaten and completely disappeared. They kill altered animals, and because of
00:11:14Their bodies sometimes look like they were made by animals, but not many of them eat their own.
00:11:19victims. Another page has been turned. And these are not assumptions. The police managed to obtain eyewitnesses in
00:11:28several cases. When asked what they saw, they described virtually the same thing as Marcus.
00:11:34Some even used the same words. He lowered his voice a little. They said he looked like a werewolf.
00:11:42But nightmares. Just hearing that unsettled them all. It wasn't just because there had been more incidents
00:11:50of those who were waiting. It was because of what it implied. It wasn't random violence, nor was it limited to
00:11:57a zone or a single mistake. Whatever it was, it was about moving, hunting, and repeating the same
00:12:03behavior over and over again. This is dangerous, Marie said. Very dangerous. Everyone knows that the
00:12:12Howlers are full of wolf-like agitated creatures. If this continues, there's a good chance that
00:12:19They accuse us of all this. They blame us, whether it's true or not. He paused. But do you know
00:12:26what is
00:12:27Even worse? Ausching and Inu did look. Blaming them already sounded bad enough. Think about it, Slit said. If the
00:12:36Werewolves are out there killing people, who do you think will be angrier than anyone? Since there wasn't
00:12:42Slit replied, "Vampires. They won't care if these werewolves belong to our group."
00:12:50Pack or not, Slit continued. They lump us all together. If the werewolves are causing chaos, then for them,
00:12:58They are all responsible. That gives them an excuse to attack us, and they won't hesitate to do so. That understanding
00:13:06It took hold of the group. More than ever, they needed to find this new kind of werewolf and
00:13:12to stop him before the situation got out of control. They left shortly after, heading towards the
00:13:18Areas cordoned off were reported. There was a wide variety of locations. Some incidents
00:13:25They happened inside apartments, others in alleyways, and some behind restaurants where no one should have been.
00:13:32It was late at night. There was no clear pattern in terms of victims or locations.
00:13:37Except that several deaths had occurred in a specific area of the city. That was the only clue.
00:13:44that they had. With Marie and Slit already sniffing around, they knew it was only a matter of time before they found something.
00:13:51They followed the faint trails, moving carefully, checking rooftops, streets, and paths that
00:13:57Ordinary people wouldn't think to look. Finally, the trail led them upwards.
00:14:03towards the roof of a building still under construction. Exposed steel beams.
00:14:09unfinished concrete slabs and construction machinery scattered everywhere,
00:14:14as if the workers had left in a hurry. The sun had already set when they arrived.
00:14:20And they were grateful. There were fewer people outside, fewer lights on, and it was less likely that
00:14:27Someone realized what was about to happen. As they approached the artwork,
00:14:32The group stopped and looked at each other, aware that what they were about to face would not be
00:14:37Simple. —Do we have a plan? —I ask
00:14:40Innu. And there's only one here right now? —There's no set plan—he replied
00:14:46Marie. —We're taking care of them here, and we need to keep at least one alive.
00:14:53We need information. Innu frowned slightly. "Wait. Did you say 'they'?"
00:15:01—Marie Essentio. —Yes. There is more than one.
00:15:05Chapter 1733 Werewolf-Zombie. Part 1. The group knew they were in the right place.
00:15:13At least Marie and Slit knew it. As werewolves, their senses were sharper than those of
00:15:20The others, and as soon as they approached the building under construction, they could clearly smell it.
00:15:26Blood. Fresh, thick blood, on something that was disturbingly familiar to them.
00:15:32If they had only spent a moment, they might have assumed it was another werewolf.
00:15:39Perhaps a stray or one from a weaker pack. But the longer they stayed there,
00:15:45The stranger it seemed to them. There was something different about the smell. It triggered the same instinctive reaction.
00:15:52that they felt when they encountered vampires. It wasn't the same smell, not even close, but the revulsion was the same.
00:15:59Deep and uncomfortable in their bodies. That feeling of growing hostility. The urge to walk away.
00:16:06mixed with the instinct to destroy it before it could harm them. The group advanced with
00:16:12Careful because of the building, climbing floor by floor until reaching the top. The higher they climbed, the more intense it became.
00:16:20The smell was becoming noticeable. There were bloodstains on the concrete, with dark streaks leading towards
00:16:26The rooftop. By the time they stepped outside, they had no more doubt. They were here.
00:16:34"Get ready," Marie said in a sharp, authoritative voice. As soon as the words left her mouth, she charged toward
00:16:41He went forward and began to transform into his full form. At first, both Inú and Austin
00:16:48They were surprised, but the reason became clear immediately. A creature was already running straight ahead.
00:16:54toward them. Maria's enormous werewolf figure appeared in full when she raised the
00:16:59arms and blocked a powerful blow coming from above. The impact was brutal. The claw dug into
00:17:06His forearms dug into her skin. They didn't pierce her cleanly, but the force he exerted was considerable.
00:17:14greater than she expected. Her muscles tensed instinctively as the jolt coursed through her
00:17:20body, and his forearms went slightly numb. Before the second arm could
00:17:26When he tried to attack, Marie reacted instantly. She grabbed him, immobilizing the limb with brute force. Now
00:17:34The others could finally see it clearly. The thing in front of them looked like a man.
00:17:40dying wolf. The fur still covered much of its body, and its overall shape was similar,
00:17:47But large portions of flesh were exposed. The muscles were torn, stretched...
00:17:53unnatural way, as if the body had been dragged beyond its limits and never
00:17:59would have recovered. His arms were too long, hanging farther than they should have been.
00:18:05finished, with his nails so extended that they would have scraped the floor if Marie hadn't held him up.
00:18:11Why are you all just standing there? Help her! Slit yelled. She transformed instantly and crashed into
00:18:19the creature's core, driving its shoulder into its stomach and forcing it back. The impact
00:18:25Marie's grip broke enough for the others to move. At the same time,
00:18:31Inu and Austin noticed movement from the sides. Two more. Austin didn't hesitate. He transformed into his form.
00:18:39He charged at the minotaur, crouching down to subdue him. But just as he reached him, the werewolf leaped
00:18:46above his head with unsettling ease. Before Austin could turn around, an arm
00:18:52The extended arm spun sharply and grazed his face. "Arg!" Austin yelled as blood splattered the
00:18:59Specifically. He turned quickly and watched the creature as its arm retracted to its full length.
00:19:05original and his muscles clicked and tensed unnaturally. He can stretch his arms,
00:19:12Austin grunted. As if he were stretching his muscles to do it. I didn't expect that. For Inú,
00:19:20The situation was just as bad. His opponent was fast. Agile. A werewolf who moved more like
00:19:27A hunter who was like a beast. Landing powerful blows wouldn't be easy there, and he couldn't use
00:19:33Tricks like the ones he used against Lucen. Not with allies scattered throughout the same building.
00:19:40Anyway, he closed the gap. The same problem appeared instantly. A wide shot
00:19:47He moved toward him, and his outstretched arm gained momentum as it sliced through the air. Inu raised both arms.
00:19:53He threw the axes just in time, but the impact hit him hard. His feet slid backward down the
00:19:59concrete, with the friction screeching beneath him, and he almost fell off the edge of the building. Another arm came
00:20:06From the opposite side. Inu Jump. The long, outstretched limb passed beneath him, barely grazing his legs.
00:20:15In midair, Inú twisted his body and threw one of his axes forward. The ki expanded to
00:20:21the length
00:20:22from the weapon as it activated its power, and the axe flew like a flaming projectile. It pierced the palm of the
00:20:28The werewolf's hand plunged deep into the ground. An arm immobilized. At that moment
00:20:35Inu landed, kicked the ground, and ki exploded through his legs as he ran
00:20:41forward. "Those outstretched arms are your downfall," Inú shouted. "Because now you can't
00:20:48"Move." He swung the remaining axe from the side, plunging it into the werewolf's skull.
00:20:54The blade pierced the sword, but not deeply enough. It stuck, refusing to cut cleanly, even with
00:21:02Inu's ki was behind him. Before he could react, the creature tore off his arm.
00:21:08The immobilized position, tearing flesh and muscle without hesitation. The limb hung.
00:21:14Uselessly, destroyed, but the creature didn't care. "Oy! We're fighting some
00:21:21"Some kind of werewolf zombie or something," Inú murmured. The answer came quickly. The remaining arm
00:21:29He grabbed Inú mid-movement and slammed him to the ground. The concrete cracked beneath him.
00:21:35partially lifted the ground. Inu grunted, pushing off at the last second to absorb
00:21:41part of the force instead of crashing. The werewolf lunged downwards, with
00:21:46Its jaws were wide open. "Ahashavulu!" It pierced the center of the creature's skull.
00:21:53before his teeth could close. Inú didn't hesitate. He tore off the leaf and went back to
00:21:59soften it, this time with a clean cut. The body collapsed. Inú dodged it just in time.
00:22:05in time, letting it crash beside him instead of on top of him. "They never see it coming."
00:22:11"The flying axes," Inú said, breathing heavily. He looked around, ready
00:22:18He wanted to help others, but he froze. "What? I was the slowest."
00:22:24Slit and Marie had already taken down their own. One lay shattered, the other crushed beneath
00:22:31Marie's weight. Austin was nearby, now a smaller, more compact figure. His
00:22:38Horns extended beyond its feet, pinning one of the creatures against
00:22:43The floor pressed down on his chest, preventing him from moving. "But I'm not sure."
00:22:48"So that we can ask them these questions," Austin said gravely. Chapter 1734
00:22:55Zombie Werewolf, Part 2. Inu stood there, incredulous. He sincerely believed he had
00:23:02He did a good job, especially considering the opponent he had just faced.
00:23:08In many ways, he had accomplished exactly what he was supposed to do. He had
00:23:14He had defeated a dangerous enemy single-handedly, no easy feat. And yet, he still felt
00:23:21That small, irritating feeling in my chest. The others had finished first.
00:23:27"Well, I guess it was two of you and only one of me," Inú murmured softly.
00:23:33as she approached Marie and Slit. She tried to downplay it, but it was hard not to feel
00:23:39a little annoyed. "It's strange," Marie said, crouching down slightly as she watched the
00:23:46fallen body. "It definitely smells like a werewolf, but I don't get the feeling it is."
00:23:51from another pack. Instead, I feel a kind of disgust, almost the same as when we came across
00:23:58"A vampire." "Right?" Slit replied.
00:24:02And not only that. When I first heard the word "Werewolves," I assumed it referred to
00:24:08Someone known. An Omega, perhaps someone from the Lupus pack, or even the Howlers.
00:24:15But this doesn't seem to be the case at all. He paused and squinted. "What I see,
00:24:22They almost look like a new breed. And not only that, but these werewolves look brand new
00:24:28created as if they were at the very bottom of the ladder." Inú lowered her head slightly,
00:24:34listening attentively. He wasn't as influenced by werewolf instincts as the others,
00:24:41But I understood enough to follow what they were saying. "So our assumption is
00:24:47"Correct?" "I ask, Inú, a Soku must be the one who created them, right? And instead of creating an alpha and
00:24:54"Forcing us to fight another pack, he's throwing these zombie-like werewolves at us." Slit blurted out
00:25:01He chuckled briefly and shook his head. "You always forget to see the big picture," Slit said.
00:25:08a mocking smile. "Really, it's impressive." Inú stopped walking. "Look, I'm not like you,"
00:25:17Inú replied sharply. "And yet, I can keep up with them. They never transformed me."
00:25:24"I'm in a state of agitation, and I'm not a werewolf." He moved closer, his gaze piercing. "But I have survived."
00:25:32I've been here so long and I can kick your ass. So I'm going to need some respect before I give you one.
00:25:38"A beating." "You're right," Marí said calmly, interrupting him before the situation escalated.
00:25:44It intensified. Inu is a key member of the Howlers. And Slit, you stood up to us and
00:25:52We allowed you to live. So stop trying to provoke him." Inú felt the tension rising.
00:25:58It escaped from his shoulders. Hearing Marí back him up reminded him why he considered the howlers his
00:26:04family from the beginning. "But about what you said before," continued Marí, turning to Slit.
00:26:11"Are you saying there could be even stronger Zombie Werewolves? What did we just do?"
00:26:18Could fighting be the end of the food chain? Werewolves had ranks. They had
00:26:27natural stages of growth, almost like small advances that anyone familiar with them
00:26:33could perceive. Furthermore, there was another system exclusive to werewolves. Each one of
00:26:40These advances were classified into levels. To explain this, the system had been borrowed.
00:26:46from chess, classifying werewolves similarly. That one rank was superior to another did not
00:26:53It guaranteed victory in every fight. But instinctively, the werewolf of grade
00:26:58The superior one used to have a stronger beast inside. Its presence, its size, and its pressure.
00:27:05They were simply different. Then there were class evolutions. That part was more clearly defined in
00:27:12through Gary's system. But the werewolves themselves could sense when those changes were coming.
00:27:18They felt it deep within their being, long before anything happened. That's why Slit was
00:27:26Uneasy. Perhaps these zombie werewolves didn't evolve properly. Perhaps they didn't follow
00:27:32The same rules. But Slit was sure of one thing. They were weak. At least compared to the
00:27:40"That could come next," Slit said. "It's worrying," Marie admitted. "Because not even these cases..."
00:27:48They were easy to address. Everyone agreed, even Austin. The flexibility and the
00:27:55The enemy's unnatural movements forced him to use his superior form, something he would have preferred.
00:28:01Avoid. It required more power than he felt comfortable using, especially at first. They approached the last one
00:28:09The werewolf, the one Austin had immobilized, was writhing beneath his foot, his muscles tense and
00:28:16torn apart, but he could do nothing under the weight and force that pressed him against the ground.
00:28:22"I tried talking to him," Austin said. "But I don't think he's in his right mind. He's like a wild beast."
00:28:30I doubt we'll get much information from him. What if you included him in your pack?
00:28:36Marie suggested it. Like Five Nosarcus did. Or the masked werewolf, whatever you want to call him.
00:28:43He was crazy too, Slit added. But once they convinced him, he listened. Maybe this one would do it.
00:28:51The same. They all looked at the struggling creature, uncertain. You already said this isn't a werewolf.
00:28:59Typical, Inú said. If there's no herd, we can't assume the normal rules apply. And besides,
00:29:07It's too dangerous for Marie to try. We should end this here. The others
00:29:13They hesitated, but had to admit he was right. Until they had a reliable way to control or
00:29:20Communicating with something like that, keeping it alive was a risk they couldn't afford. Austin...
00:29:26It ended quickly. The rooftop fell silent. What do we do now? Should we go see if there's anything else?
00:29:35More of these? Evacuate the other cities? You said it would be a problem if there were too many.
00:29:42Marie opened her mouth to answer. Then her phone vibrated. At the same time, the devices
00:29:49The others lit up too. Marie's eyes widened as she read the message.
00:29:55"We have to get back to Slogue," she said urgently. "As soon as possible." She looked at the others.
00:30:03Han vu el tu. Chapter 1735 Back in Slogue, Part 1.
00:30:10Gary, Lupus, and Kai arrived at the same park where a war had once broken out between them. As soon as
00:30:16They stepped onto familiar ground, and all three noticed how much time had passed. The park was open to the
00:30:23The public was back. People walked freely, children ran on the grass, and there were even
00:30:30Couples sitting on benches chatting calmly as if nothing had happened there. Large areas of
00:30:36The park looked greener than before. Entire sections had clearly been rebuilt.
00:30:42The grass was fresher and the trees healthier. This was undoubtedly due to the fact that much
00:30:50The area had been destroyed in the past, necessitating a complete reconstruction in its place
00:30:55of partial repairs. Oddly enough, this made the place look better than ever. Kai was
00:31:02Grateful for that. The people I had left to clean up the howler monkey mess during
00:31:08Their absence meant they had done their job properly. I hadn't had to micromanage anything.
00:31:15The systems he had implemented were working. That alone was reassuring. When they spoke with
00:31:22The nearest cage member, who came running towards them in a state of shock, could barely believe
00:31:28What they were seeing made them realize how much time had passed. Two months. They had been
00:31:35missing for two whole months. Apparently, after that brief exchange, the member of Jaule admitted
00:31:42that they hadn't been able to contact anyone else yet. He said they would send someone to explain everything with
00:31:49detail, but that until then he didn't have much information he could provide. That's why the three
00:31:55They decided to head to the Wolfs Pool Club, like in the old days, while they waited to hear
00:32:01exactly what had happened during his absence. As it was still daytime, the club was never
00:32:07It was too busy at that time. By calling ahead and letting them know they were arriving, they could cover the cost of
00:32:14the drinks or games that were already underway and offer free entry later, when the venue is
00:32:21It was simple, familiar, and comfortable. However, as they walked toward the club, something...
00:32:28It was very obvious. There were a lot of people around, more than usual, and almost all of them were wearing uniforms.
00:32:36from the cages. The whispers followed them wherever they went. The conversations died down as soon as
00:32:43They passed by. Heads turned, eyes widened, and people watched them intently.
00:32:51But he wasn't coming. It seems news of our return has already spread throughout the city.
00:32:57Kai said quietly. Yes, Gary replied. Many are probably wondering where we were and want
00:33:04They ask us a lot of questions. They just don't approach us out of respect. Oh, Lupus added calmly,
00:33:12while he scanned the crowd. Perhaps you wonder why the enemy they were fighting
00:33:19It's by your side with such intensity. There was no denying it. Lupus stood out. Its sole
00:33:26His presence drew attention. Even without him saying a word, people recognized him. He was much more visible.
00:33:33that most people, especially those who had witnessed the battles firsthand, felt.
00:33:39That image had remained etched in the minds of many. I think it's best if you stay close to us until
00:33:46"Let's clear everything up," Kai suggested. "If she travels alone, she could be attacked." Lupus smiled slightly at him.
00:33:54The suggestion. As if they could hurt me even if they wanted to, Lupus replied. It's more likely that they
00:34:01They hurt each other trying. Even so, Lupus could sense the difference. The real world felt different.
00:34:09of the one in which he had become trapped. To begin with, during the war, Lupus had remained
00:34:16Trapped in his true alpha form. He hadn't been able to break free from it, not after Ilva's death.
00:34:23Without its current moon, it had lost that form, at least temporarily. However, during that same
00:34:31During the war, Lupus consumed Ice, granting him powerful abilities based on it. And furthermore,
00:34:38It also consumed Don Tinge, the head of the white rose. A powerful leviathan creature that even
00:34:45It had caused Lupus problems during their fight. Because Lupus had consumed it while he was
00:34:52in his true alpha form, and then had sent him to another world immediately afterward; this was the
00:34:58This was the first time he truly felt the effects of that power settling into his body. Now he was stronger.
00:35:05Stronger than ever. Even if Unzoku doesn't come after the howlers or me, Lupus thought,
00:35:11I'll go get it myself. The only problem was the medallion. It was currently in Kai's possession.
00:35:19If they had learned anything, it was that defeating Unzoku wouldn't be possible alone. No matter how strong they were
00:35:26If any of them returned, they would have to work together. Eventually, they joined Villar's club.
00:35:33Wolfe. Several members were already inside. And as soon as they saw the three of them, the reaction was explosive.
00:35:40I saw him there. Vlad. Crawley. Y. Park. Even Tom had shown up. I can't believe it.
00:35:48O'Veer exclaimed. They're really back. They're really here. What happened? Where were they?
00:35:55Gary. Gary. Tom shouted. I thought you might be dead. Gary laughed. You know it's very difficult
00:36:04"Kill me?" he said. Not even this idiot uncle of mine could do it. Everyone wanted to ask questions. They saw him.
00:36:12in their eyes. But at the same time, they felt uneasy. There was someone else right there in the
00:36:19A room with them. Someone who complicated everything. So we wouldn't have to explain our situation.
00:36:25Over and over again. Kai said, getting straight to the point. Where are the others? Marie. Austin. Inu. Sin.
00:36:34Gary added immediately, "What happened while we were away? What happened in the last two months?"
00:36:42As Gary spoke, his thoughts briefly drifted. During his travels to the other world,
00:36:49Sin had crossed her mind more times than she could count. With everything that had happened,
00:36:55She had done so much for him. She had even given up her powers to become Luna.
00:37:01She deserved better. When all this was over, I wanted to spend time with her the way she deserved.
00:37:08Treat her as she deserved. But for that to happen, they had to face the greatest threat.
00:37:14that stood in his way. A soku. And if possible, Gary hoped there would be no need
00:37:21to involve the rest of the howlers in that fight.
00:37:24Crawley, formerly a Hollow, spoke slowly. It feels like a lifetime has passed. He said, "Where do I begin?"
00:37:33Chapter 1736 Back in Slogue. Part 2.
00:37:37Crawley continued explaining everything that had happened since the three disappeared. And there was a lot to tell.
00:37:43They explained, taking into account the length of their absence. Two whole months had passed. And in
00:37:50During that time, the world had not stopped moving. Decisions had been made, alliances forced, and
00:37:57They redefined the lines without even being present to influence them. The first thing that
00:38:02Crawley explained that the fighting had practically ceased shortly after his disappearance.
00:38:08Lupus's pack knew they had lost the war. Too many of their key members had
00:38:14disappeared, and unlike the situation with Gary's disappearance, the howlers still had
00:38:20They had the will and the structure to keep fighting. They had leadership, coordination, and unity.
00:38:26while Lupus's side had fractured beyond repair. However, even with the surrender
00:38:33From the enemy's perspective, the real problem remained unresolved. What were they supposed to do with
00:38:40They now? Especially when all the alphas had seemingly disappeared. That
00:38:46Uncertainty had created tension throughout the city, and the situation worsened even further when
00:38:52Galdark intervened. He explained several things that changed the understanding of everything about what
00:38:57It really had happened, and how could Lupus not have been the one pulling the strings? He made it clear
00:39:03that there were forces at play far beyond simple herd politics. Regardless of
00:39:10That explanation didn't explain why trust didn't come easily. How were they supposed to trust an enemy?
00:39:16against whom they had just waged a war? It was then that a solution was proposed. It wasn't
00:39:23Perfect, but it was the only option that prevented the situation from spiraling out of control. All members
00:39:29The remaining members of Lupus's pack would be handed over to Sin's faction and absorbed by the Howlers. No
00:39:36They would be prisoners, but they wouldn't be independent either. With no real choice, they accepted.
00:39:43So, my entire pack is gone? Lupus asked softly. He let out a long sigh, feeling
00:39:52The weight. Well, now we're one big family, aren't we? What's yours is mine. It'll just take me a while to get used to it.
00:40:01Neither Kai nor Gary could imagine how Lupus felt at that moment. They had learned, through fights
00:40:08and conflicts, that Lupus really cared about his pack and werewolves in general.
00:40:15Losing them like that, even if they were still alive, was still a loss. It took the pack
00:40:21"It takes time to get used to things here," Crowley continued. "And we needed to keep an eye on them."
00:40:27nearby, just to make sure nothing strange was happening. It was suggested to make it clear that the
00:40:34The fugitives had won the war, and they had done so easily. It wasn't about pride.
00:40:40It was about deterrence. To deter other attackers, Crowley said. And if they didn't believe it,
00:40:48They would have to face the combined power of the packs working together. For others,
00:40:54"I suppose you mean a soku," Gary said. "Or vampires," Lupus added.
00:41:00Crowley Essentio. Good. We're still searching the city for any sign of what happened to you.
00:41:07Three while we waited. Weeks passed and we weren't getting any closer to finding them. It was then
00:41:14when we decided to start making small movements instead of just standing around doing nothing
00:41:19crusaders. Galdark, along with some members of the Lupus group, had returned to Ruin City to
00:41:26to ensure stability. Although Lupus's pack no longer existed as before, Ruin City remained
00:41:33Important. It was still a place full of werewolves who needed leadership and stability.
00:41:39Galdark returns to Slogue quite frequently, Crowley explained. Mostly to update and
00:41:46to transmit information. He doesn't really like using electronic devices. That didn't surprise
00:41:53Nobody. In addition, many members of the Lupus pack decided to stay in Slogue, Crowley continued.
00:42:01So that was another reason for her to return regularly. As time went on, she developed another symptom.
00:42:08decision. Despite everything that had happened, the howlers still had to act like howlers. They couldn't
00:42:16to freeze up or abandon their responsibilities just because their leaders had disappeared. We had
00:42:22commitments to fulfill, Crowley said. The werewolves' strike force, along with Midback,
00:42:29She was sent to Centerfield. Her job was to make sure no problems arose there and claim it.
00:42:36officially as howler monkey territory. It had worked. It calmed the area a lot, Crowley added. That
00:42:44It was about a month ago. For a while after that, everything was silent. Too silent.
00:42:53There were no major incidents, no large movements, and no signs of Unzoku or the
00:42:59Vampire intervention. But at the same time, they were still far from finding Gary, Kai, or Lupus. And
00:43:07Then, just a few days ago, everything changed. That's when Marcus appeared, Crowley said.
00:43:15Lupus's demeanor changed immediately. His body language demonstrated the importance of that name.
00:43:22He stood up straight, focused on the conversation as Crowley continued. The story that followed was
00:43:28Devastating. They learned of the dark guild. Of how the vampires had completely wiped it out.
00:43:35Of the solitary werewolf that Marcus had discovered. Crowley omitted nothing. He explained it.
00:43:42Everything done carefully, aware of its importance. He divided his forces after that. A group
00:43:49He went with Marcus to search the dark guild's bases, hoping to find answers.
00:43:56Another group set out in search of this new type of werewolf. Something that didn't fit into any description.
00:44:01existing category. It's a lot to take in, Kai finally said. I thought what was happening to us
00:44:09It was crazy. But this, it seems we're being attacked from both sides, Gary added. A soku and the
00:44:16Vampires. Lupus squeezed her hand so hard her fingers trembled. They try to dull our
00:44:24"Swords," Lupus said. "To eliminate us when we're weak. I always knew this would happen." He turned.
00:44:32"I know you have some kind of deal with them," Lupus said. "And I know you don't hate them like I do. But..."
00:44:39Yeah
00:44:40You trust them completely, things will go wrong. There was no anger in her voice. Only certainty. I don't want to be
00:44:48"Whoever says so, I told you so," Lupus continued. "So I'll say this. If you ever need my help, there."
00:44:56I'll be there. I guarantee it. He placed a hand on his chest. From werewolf to werewolf. From blood to
00:45:04Blood. From werewolf to werewolf. A war against the vampires while a soku remained at large.
00:45:11It was the worst possible outcome. Gary knew that better than anyone. If there was any way to prevent it, he would do it.
00:45:19Chapter 1737 Family. Lupus's words. Gary knew they were serious. Part of Gary doubted when
00:45:28to depart for the other world. Part of him wondered if Lupus had only said that a soku controlled him. Perhaps
00:45:35It had only been an excuse. Perhaps, deep down, Lupus really wanted to get rid of Gary and his pack.
00:45:43It was a thought that lingered in his mind. When everything was chaos, when trust was gone.
00:45:48It was scarce; those doubts had been easy to believe. But from their first encounter, even
00:45:55When the altered hunters were involved, Gary sensed that wasn't the case. Lupus never
00:46:02He acted like someone driven by jealousy or blind hatred. Even when his father spoke
00:46:08From his uncle, there was never bitterness in his voice. It was evident that every decision Lupus had made...
00:46:14The decision had been painful. It had always been to prevent them from hurting each other. Hearing those words
00:46:21Speaking directly, seeing Lupus's expression, Gary knew that he cared about his family and also
00:46:27For werewolves. Not just for his pack, but for everyone. "Hey, you don't have to tell me."
00:46:34"Say," Kai said. "One of those guys tried to kill me. It's clear they hate us to death. But I would say
00:46:42"That, without a doubt, every case is different." Kai rubbed the back of his neck. "Edward, that guy really looked
00:46:50interested in not fighting if he could avoid it." Upon hearing those words, Gary felt he needed
00:46:57answer his uncle appropriately. "We saw it, didn't we?" Gary said. "Werewolves shouldn't
00:47:05Working against each other. We should always work together. And I give back everything you give me."
00:47:12She stood firm as she spoke. "I'm saying it right now. Lupus, if you or your pack are attacked by the
00:47:20"Vampires, I'll be there to stop them." Lupus didn't respond immediately, but there was a small
00:47:26A smile spread across their faces. All three smiled, each with the same thought in their minds.
00:47:33Vampires wouldn't have liked to hear that. "So, are you going to make us wait or what?" "Aren't you going to say
00:47:42"Where have you been all this time?" "Ha ha," Gary replied, looking at Kai, who had
00:47:49He took out the medallion in his hand. "Actually, the whole reason we disappeared has a lot to do with it."
00:47:56"With you." Tom Perpadeo was confused. Gary clearly remembered that it hadn't even been him who
00:48:04He found the medallion. Tom and his research team had given it to him. At that moment,
00:48:10No one had paid much attention to it. It was just another strange artifact. "You know," Gary said. "It would have
00:48:18It would have been great if those guys had left us some armor or something, right? There was nothing else there.
00:48:25The medallion. Not even armor that looked golden." "Golden armor?" Tom frowned.
00:48:33"Have you gone mad these last two months?" "You know," Gary replied. "If you were alone and I
00:48:40If you had asked that, I would have told you it could be that way. But luckily, with these two by my side, I know that
00:48:47"Everything we went through was real." She let out a small sigh. To avoid having to explain everything
00:48:54Again and again, I'll wait for the others to arrive. It's a long and convoluted story. They should
00:49:01"They'll arrive in a few hours," Crowley added. "They've already been informed and it seems they're returning as soon as possible."
00:49:08"As quickly as possible." Gary Asensio was excited to see the others. It had only been two months since they had started playing.
00:49:16This world, but for him it felt like much longer. There were no phones. No distractions. Nothing to pass the time.
00:49:25Time, apart from fighting each other and surviving, was good in a way. It forced them to.
00:49:33to get stronger. But it also made the days feel endless. "Oh, right," Gary said.
00:49:41"Kai always keeps spare phones in the safe, since ours break."
00:49:47constantly during fights. And Tom, did you set it up to back up?
00:49:53It's all transferred automatically to a server. So when we log in, everything gets transferred, right?
00:49:58“Oh, right,” Tom replied. “I suppose everyone must have been worried about you. And who knows,
00:50:06"Perhaps someone contacted you thinking they needed the help of one of the kings." The group lowered the
00:50:12stairs and looked for their phones. Lupus didn't mind too much, although he did use one. He never told them
00:50:20He had asked his men to install such a system. To be honest, Lupus hardly ever fought.
00:50:26And when he did, he usually finished quickly. He hadn't had the same problem with destroying things.
00:50:33devices during battles like everyone else. When Gary turned on his phone,
00:50:38It immediately started ringing. The messages came one after another. I had met people
00:50:45from other cities during their journey. Howlers. Allies. Even those who had heard
00:50:53They had sent messages about her disappearance, hoping that somehow,
00:50:59He saw them. Gary Lowe's Rapace Observation. That's when he noticed a more recent message.
00:51:06"Gary, I know you're back. I was so worried. Mom and I are so glad to know you're safe."
00:51:13"I have something to tell you. Call me as soon as possible." Her heart tightened slightly when she saw the name
00:51:21Ami's. Without hesitation, he called immediately. It only took a few rings for her to answer.
00:51:28"Ami, is everything okay? Are you and Mom okay?" Gary asked. "Yes, we're fine," Ami replied.
00:51:37I was going to ask you the same thing. I can't believe you got lost. Where were you all this time?
00:51:44"Ha, what a long story," Gary said. "I think it's best if I tell you in person when we're there."
00:51:51"That's all sorted out. If I have time, I'll visit you both." He paused. "Unzoku?" If Unzoku...
00:52:00I had them in my sights; perhaps it wasn't wise to visit them. Perhaps it was safer to keep to your own devices.
00:52:06location hidden at all costs. "So what was the message about?" Gary asked. "If everything is
00:52:13"Okay." There was a brief silence at the other end. "It's Witte," Ami said. Gary's body
00:52:21He stiffened. "She's missing." Chapter 1738 Reunion. Of all the things for which his
00:52:30Her sister called him, she never imagined it would be about Witte. When Gary saved her from Olivia, he had always
00:52:37He was a reserved person, with the occasional comment. He never talked too much, he never forced himself.
00:52:44to participate in conversations, and at first Gary didn't fully trust her. He had been cautious.
00:52:52After everything that had happened, after the betrayal and manipulation by so many parties, it had been difficult for him.
00:52:58trusting someone new. But little by little that began to change. Witte never gave him any reason to doubt her.
00:53:05She stayed close to Ami, helped her in any way she could, and over time, became someone
00:53:12to
00:53:12whom Gary didn't need to keep an eye on. She had become a close friend of Ami's. So much so that even
00:53:19They lived together and went to the same university. They shared classes, shared space, and so
00:53:26Ami had told him before; they spent most of their time together. Since so much time had passed,
00:53:33Gary simply assumed everything was stable. Calm, normal. He never imagined that
00:53:41Something like that would happen. Wait, calm down for a moment, Gary said. What do you mean she disappeared? Did they take her or...
00:53:49Did she say she was leaving? She tried to keep her voice steady. She didn't want Ami to panic even more.
00:53:56He said
00:53:57"Strange things," Ami replied. "Things about you, and how you needed to go through something. I didn't have any..."
00:54:05sense. Gary frowned slightly. Things about me. Yes, Ami continued. She spoke as if something
00:54:14It was going to happen. As if I were destined to go somewhere or face something. I told her that
00:54:21She needed to rest, as she was overthinking things. There was a pause, and the next day she simply didn't...
00:54:28He was there. He didn't leave a note. He didn't say anything. He simply didn't show up. Gary's mind began
00:54:36to reconstruct the timeline. I thought she was very independent, Ami said. So at first I didn't
00:54:44It was very important. But after two days without a response and without her returning, I tried to contact her.
00:54:50I tried contacting Marla. Sending messages. I even went around asking people. I got nowhere. Gary
00:54:59He clenched his jaw slightly. So I asked the howler monkeys for help, Ami continued. And that's when
00:55:06When I found out you had disappeared too, I honestly thought something was wrong.
00:55:12When Witte said those things, Witte disappeared the day after they did. That wasn't
00:55:19Coincidence. From what I discovered, Ami added, Witte seemed to disappear the day after your
00:55:26disappearance. That's why I was wondering if something happened, or if I might have come back to you. If Witte
00:55:34If she had disappeared the next day, then she would have been practically missing for
00:55:40Two months. Two months. Gary's chest felt heavy. As far as he knew, Witte hadn't
00:55:48Family. No one to care for her. No partner. No support other than Ami and the cages. She simply
00:55:56She disappeared like that, or something took her. I'm sorry, Ami. She's not with me, Gary replied.
00:56:04Sincerity. But I'll make the howlers find it. I'll make everyone try. I know that
00:56:11It's important to you. He paused before continuing. Rest. And if you or Mom need anything,
00:56:20Let me know. The call ended there. Gary slowly lowered the phone. The others had heard him.
00:56:27Everything. Nobody said anything immediately. The joy of moments before had subsided slightly.
00:56:34Witte disperacita. He didn't take it well. It was then that the three of them heard footsteps from above.
00:56:42"Looks like they're here," Kai said. "Why don't we go and greet them? We were all waiting for them."
00:56:49eagerness. Gary Asensio. The three of them went upstairs. Upon reaching the main room, they saw
00:56:57that both groups had arrived together, united as one. They were all there. Maria. Sin. Inu. Austin.
00:57:06Marco. Slit. Olivia. As soon as they saw each other, the whole group had huge smiles on their faces. Some
00:57:15They seemed unable to believe it. This is real. Right? It's really real.
00:57:21Marie ran forward. And Sin too. The two women opened their arms and hugged Kai and
00:57:28Gary tightly. They clung to them firmly, almost as if they were afraid they might
00:57:35disappear again. Gary felt Sin squeezing him tighter and tighter. Marie didn't let go either.
00:57:41Quickly. Two months had passed. Those with diabetes, read this before it gets deleted.
00:57:49Two months without knowing. I miss him too, Inu murmured, nudging Austin.
00:57:56But it's a little awkward getting involved in all that, isn't it? Austin let out a small chuckle.
00:58:03The others were a little surprised to see Lupus there, but at the same time, they almost expected it, considering
00:58:09what the Lupus pack had told them. "Sir, he's alive," Slit and Lucen said, crouching down.
00:58:17almost kneeling on the ground. Get up, Lupus replied. You know I've never liked it
00:58:24None of that. They stood up immediately. "I'm glad to know you're alive," Lupus continued.
00:58:31I was worried something had happened to you. There was no pride in her voice. Only relief. And I didn't
00:58:39Don't worry about joining the Howlers. You did what you had to do at that time. The words
00:58:46They were simple, but meaningful. Marcus stepped forward with a smile on his face.
00:58:52When they said you'd disappeared, I was shocked, Marcus said. But I knew you were too much.
00:58:59Too strong to die for. It's almost impossible to kill you. The group shared several joyful moments.
00:59:07Reese's. Small comments. Repeaters. They didn't immediately speak about what happened.
00:59:15They were simply enjoying the fact that they were all together again. After all
00:59:21what they had gone through separately, after the uncertainty, the battles, and the waiting,
00:59:27The mere fact of being in the same room seemed enough. But everyone knew it wasn't.
00:59:33It would last. In the end, explanations had to come. And what happened to them? Preguxin? Where have they
00:59:41Have you been all this time? Her eyes were now serious. And after you tell us, we'll have
00:59:48There are a few things I want to tell you, too. About what we just discovered. Chapter 1739. The Alphas
00:59:56stronger. Of the two groups, the first to speak about what happened were Gary and the other two.
01:00:03They talked about how, upon disappearing, they had entered a completely different world. A world that was
01:00:10the past of their present time. At first, when they began to explain it, even pronouncing the words
01:00:17It sounded strange to him when he said it out loud. But the more they described it, the more real it felt again.
01:00:24They explained in detail everything they had experienced: the trials, the missions they had accomplished, and their
01:00:30I met with the two packs. They talked about how at first nothing made sense, about how they saw each other
01:00:36They were caught up in a situation that seemed like a memory, but was actually happening in real time. They described
01:00:43the weight of responsibility they felt, knowing that the world they lived in was linked to their
01:00:49their own future, that the decisions they made there could affect everything. As things turned out
01:00:56One event led to another, and finally they witnessed what had defeated a Soku. The moment was captured on video.
01:01:02seared into her memories. Seeing it with her own eyes changed something inside her. They weren't just stories.
01:01:09or legends passed down from generation to generation. It was a test. Proof that a Soku could be
01:01:16Arrested. Proof that the impossible wasn't truly impossible. They uncovered the men's past.
01:01:23The wolf and the origin of the curse. The truth shocked them. For a long time they had lived with the
01:01:30Power, transformations, instincts, but without really knowing how it all began. To finally see the
01:01:37Understanding the origins and burdens carried by their ancestors gave everything meaning. Ultimately,
01:01:45They even talked about the last night and what they had to go through to stop him. That final fight,
01:01:51where everything seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Exhaustion. Despair. The feeling that
01:01:59If they failed, there would be no second chance. They held nothing back in describing it. Every blow,
01:02:06Every decision, every sacrifice they had to make. They were told that it all seemed real.
01:02:13that it was a real world, and that the fact of being back here now, and being able to feel that his
01:02:18experience
01:02:19It continued, making it difficult to see it any other way. The strength they had acquired, the changes they felt
01:02:25Inside, even the fact that Lupus was no longer trapped in that crazed alpha state, everything pointed to
01:02:32to the same thing. It hadn't been an illusion or a dream. It had been real. Finally,
01:02:39They explained that the medallion was what had caused it all. The risk of Jack, an ancestor of theirs,
01:02:46that he had done it all so they would learn that alphas didn't need to fight each other. The medallion
01:02:52It hadn't just been a relic. It had been a lesson. A message left across time. Only
01:03:00They needed to get rid of the problem, which was Unzoku himself. "What madness!" said Tom. "Now I understand."
01:03:08What did you mean when you said I was the cause of everything? But in the end, everything turned out alright, right?
01:03:14In other words, otherwise Lupus would remain trapped in his deranged alpha state and under Unzoku's influence. That
01:03:22It was something Lupus hadn't fully understood either. Why was he okay now? It was because he had been
01:03:28Partly affected by the medallion's powers when they went to the other world. He had been in his
01:03:34true alpha form for so long, unable to break free, consumed by instinct
01:03:40And the rage. However, now that weight had disappeared. The impulse had subsided. The madness
01:03:48had loosened up. Whether it was because of the medallion or something deeper, he couldn't deny that something had happened.
01:03:55changed inside. After asking for more details and finding out what had happened to them, the moment arrived.
01:04:01that the other two groups spoke. Marcus and Sin, along with the vampires they had
01:04:07They were the first ones there. The strangest thing of all, Gary, was that they knew you were there.
01:04:14"Disappeared," Sin said. His tone was serious. It wasn't just a coincidence. It meant someone had them.
01:04:22He observed. It meant that the information was spreading faster than they thought.
01:04:28They definitely have some kind of network within Slogue to find out the truth, Lupus said. And they always can.
01:04:35Use your powers to ask someone who's left Slogue if they've heard anything. Honestly,
01:04:42What surprises me is that, although they attacked the dark guild, they didn't attack you during that time.
01:04:48If Lupus didn't know the reason, neither would the others. However, it was something they were all aware of.
01:04:56Deep down. Perhaps if the howlers seemed too weak, the vampires would attack as well.
01:05:03Perhaps they were waiting. Observing. Testing their strength before acting. Then the moment came to
01:05:10I wanted Marie and her group to tell us what they had found. I had never heard of men.
01:05:16"That's how a wolf is," said Lupus. "That someone or something created something like that is undoubtedly the work of a Soku."
01:05:23The image of the twisted, elongated creatures lingered in everyone's mind. They were not natural.
01:05:30They didn't belong to any known pack. They carried the scent of werewolves, but something about them wasn't
01:05:37It fit. That's what we thought too, Inú said. But the question is, why does he plan to attack with them?
01:05:46"Is it strengthening them? That could be one of the reasons," Kai replied.
01:05:52The truth is, if you find them doing what they want not just in one city, but in several more,
01:05:59He might be plotting something else. If he can't get the two alphas to fight together, perhaps he's trying
01:06:06To start a war between the vampires and us, to blame us. Didn't a Soku work with the
01:06:12Vampires in the past? He could be doing the same thing. Whether they know it's him or not, he'll have the same
01:06:19effect. Upon learning this, there was a possibility that his enemy was not just a Soku, but a Soku
01:06:26And the vampires together—that thought was extremely terrifying. Combatting a threat
01:06:32It was already difficult. Fighting against two at once, especially if one was manipulating the other from the shadows,
01:06:39It would weaken them. Let's try to connect with all our allies across the country.
01:06:45Kai said. We need to see if there's a pattern among these werewolves. Also contact Midback and
01:06:53Find out if it's detected anything. There might be a pattern, and we might be able to find a Soku. All three of them.
01:06:59They hadn't been back long, but they were already busy. There was no time to rest. There was no
01:07:06Time to enjoy the reunion. As soon as they returned, the weight of leadership fell on their shoulders.
01:07:13"I'll return to Ruin City," Lupus declared. "I won't make the other members turn back."
01:07:20I believe unity is necessary to work together. Although my will is strong and I can
01:07:26I can't say the same about all members of the pack if I suppress the urge to fight you.
01:07:33The combined power of both packs might be necessary against the enemy we face. So
01:07:39I will return to Ruined City and explain this to the others. I will also rebuild what was destroyed and
01:07:45I will build a rather large forge. The words had a purpose. Ruin City had already suffered.
01:07:52Quite. If they wanted to stay together, they had to build it on something solid. Wait, are you
01:08:00Building a forge? Right. You said you learned to forge weapons and armor before, didn't you? He said
01:08:08Marcus smiled. We have high-level beast crystals that we didn't know what to do with.
01:08:15Perhaps you can find some use for them. Lupus smiled in response. Everything was going quite well. The force
01:08:22It wasn't just about physical power. It was preparation. It was preparing for what was coming. As long as I am
01:08:30Outside, we'll stay in touch, and I won't waste any time. I'll do everything I can to create something that
01:08:37We can use all three. So we'll be prepared for the worst. And I'll make sure that all three alphas
01:08:43Let's be stronger than ever. Lupus affirmed. Chapter 1740 A big party. After discussing it
01:08:52All together, the group decided not to focus too much on the problems that awaited them,
01:08:57at least for one day. There were too many things left undone, too many problems that had
01:09:03both arose simultaneously. And if they allowed themselves to dwell on them constantly, it would only overwhelm them further. So
01:09:10They decided to celebrate a little at Wolf's pool club. All the members of Jaule were invited.
01:09:17And the turnout was higher than expected. The atmosphere inside the club was noisy and lively.
01:09:23Music played in the background, voices overlapped, and for once, the place didn't feel like a drug base.
01:09:30There were no operations, nor a headquarters for planning battles. It looked like what it used to be, a place of
01:09:36A gathering of friends. They enjoyed eating together, stuffing themselves, and chatting nonstop about their
01:09:43experiences. Every few minutes, someone would interrupt with a question about the other world, or laugh at
01:09:50Something that seemed unbelievable, but had actually happened. What was surprising was that many in the group
01:09:57Lupus had decided to join, probably because Lupus himself was also there. His presence
01:10:03It made everything easier. The tension that once existed between the packs still lingered, albeit in small numbers.
01:10:10There were gaps, but it wasn't overwhelming. At first, people spoke more cautiously, but as
01:10:18As the night wore on, even that slowed. It was the only night's rest they would have, the only night
01:10:25of joy to try to forget the stress that awaited them. But, whatever happened, they couldn't
01:10:31to avoid thinking. Although laughter echoed around her, the weight of reality persisted in her
01:10:37minds. The white man had disappeared, strange werewolves were appearing everywhere, a soco was
01:10:45Out there, and finally, there were also the vampires. Every single one of those problems could
01:10:52They could become something enormous if left unchecked. Somehow, Gary needed to try and resolve it.
01:10:58all these problems. Even while she smiled and talked to others, there were times when her
01:11:05Her thoughts wandered. She looked around, seeing everyone enjoying themselves, and felt a sense of responsibility.
01:11:13Back to him again. They were counting on him. They always had. The next day, at dawn,
01:11:21Lupus didn't stay long. The celebration had gone on well into the night.
01:11:27But Lupus had already made his decision. They had reserved a van for him and piled up large [items/items/etc.].
01:11:33boxes in the back. It was the equipment they had taken from the dark guild and were handing over.
01:11:39in person. The metal crates were stacked carefully, well secured, with materials
01:11:47that would be used for something bigger. Lupus shouted Lucen. Are you sure you don't want us to come with you?
01:11:54Lucen and Slit were standing by the sidewalk. Meanwhile, Gary, Kai, Sin, Marie, Inu, and Austin had
01:12:02He decided to say goodbye to Lupus, who was returning to his city, a little further back. The morning air
01:12:09It was cool and quiet compared to the noise of the night before. Now he felt more serious.
01:12:15The Lupus group practically no longer exists, Lupus stated. The ruined city is destroyed and we lost the
01:12:23War against the howler monkeys. Which means it's very likely our enemy will attack them.
01:12:29I wish you both would stay in Slough. You'll be more useful here, and if there are any problems,
01:12:35I'll be back, don't worry. There was no bitterness in his voice when he spoke of losing the war. It was simply
01:12:42A fact. He had accepted it. What mattered now was the future. Marcus had also come to say goodbye.
01:12:50Lupus, because they were more than allies, in a way. He even said they were almost friends because of their
01:12:57close relationship. Even so, due to his business sense, he had tried to keep it strictly
01:13:04He was a professional at appearing to have no favorites, even though he clearly did. He would have come with you.
01:13:10But I feel they need me here too, Marcus said. As he recalled the message he had received
01:13:17Given that he was the founder of NIRV, he felt he had to help the Howlers and that was very important.
01:13:23There were responsibilities in Slough that couldn't be ignored. Don't worry, Galdar,
01:13:29"He'll be with me, and when I return I'll have completed our equipment," Lupus stated.
01:13:35As he waved goodbye and got into the departing vehicle, the truck started slowly at first.
01:13:40before accelerating down the road. For a few seconds, no one spoke, watching as the vehicle...
01:13:48He was losing at a distance. So, what happens if Unzoku leaves and tries to control Lupus again?
01:13:55"Since he'll be returning to the ruined city on his own?" Innu asked. "Well, keep an eye on Lupus."
01:14:01"Now it means controlling only one," Kai said. "There's no more pack I can use." So
01:14:08I doubt he will. Although Lupus is so strong, we've already beaten it and we can beat it again.
01:14:14"Most likely, yes," Kai affirmed. It wasn't absolute certainty, but it was a guarantee. "I already know."
01:14:23They had faced worse adversity before. They had survived. In the vast country, many
01:14:30Cities struggled to adapt to the changes that were taking place. Governments had to
01:14:35to intensify their efforts. Funding was sought from large companies to try
01:14:41to fund more police forces and combat the PTA. Meetings were held, announcements were made, and
01:14:49They made public statements promising stability and security. And in a way, it was beginning.
01:14:55to function. The fall of the kings had brought down many structures. The gangs fought and killed each other.
01:15:02among themselves, which gave the police the perfect opportunity to finally take control. The gaps
01:15:09Power struggles created chaos, but also opportunities. However, there was one city that had almost no opportunities.
01:15:16No problem. And that was because the current king who was there was from the Bré family, Dapine.
01:15:22"What's going on?" Dapine asked as she swam away toward her home resort, which had
01:15:28An incredibly large swimming pool. The water sparkled in the morning light, calm and crystal clear.
01:15:35She moved effortlessly, strong and serene. Yet even there, in her private space,
01:15:43The outside world was intruding. She had been receiving numerous calls on her phone,
01:15:49And finally, their own teammates had left. They remained at the edge of the pool,
01:15:55Hesitating to interrupt, but knowing they should. "Madam, it seems there have been a large number
01:16:02of deaths in the city —one of the members stated. They say some even have a
01:16:08altered appearance similar to that of a wolf. —It's strange, since an altered band or another has not
01:16:15They have been attacking our city for a long time, and we don't think it makes sense for them to do it now.
01:16:20We sent our reconnaissance team, but none of them are responding. The threat is presumed to have left them.
01:16:26Eliminated. As she got out of the pool, Dapine approached and covered herself with her towel. The drops rolled off her.
01:16:34along her arms as it slowly dried, and her expression changed from mild irritation to a
01:16:40more focused. —I thought that with most of the kings gone, almost all of our
01:16:46Problems would be solved, but I suppose not—Dapine sighed. —But a wolf like
01:16:52altered, it can't be them, right?
