00:00:00My Werewolf System. Chapters 1751 to 1760. Chapter 1751 Eat It. The Rules in the Life of
00:00:11Midback's days since leaving the pack had been simple. He needed to get stronger, not only to
00:00:17Not only to survive, but to one day surpass Lupus and his group. That goal had driven him throughout
00:00:24years. Every fight, every hunt, every drop of blood had been tied to that single objective. There were
00:00:32There were multiple reasons at the time: anger, pride, betrayal. But now that goal no longer existed.
00:00:40The packs had united. The hostility had subsided, at least superficially. The need
00:00:48The imperative to defeat Lupus was no longer the same. However, the mindset had not disappeared.
00:00:55It was ingrained in his body. A habit etched into his bones. He still needed to strengthen himself. He had
00:01:03It became his lifestyle in so many ways that, even without the original reason, he carried on.
00:01:10If he had fought against a tough enemy, then that was all the more reason to consume it and grow.
00:01:17The werewolf he faced had been a tough fight. It wasn't one of his most difficult battles.
00:01:23Difficult situations she had never faced before, but the creature's strength and rarity made it different.
00:01:30His movements, his smell, even the skills he displayed, were unlike any ordinary werewolf.
00:01:36Midwag was curious about the one he had encountered before. If he ate it, he would become stronger.
00:01:44Even if it was just a little, at least I would recover the energy I had lost fighting against that
00:01:50It's never been a problem for me to eat my own kind, not if it's to make me stronger.
00:01:56Midwag commented as he looked at the body. But that's the most disgusting werewolf I've ever seen.
00:02:02My life. He bent down slightly and studied it more closely. Other thoughts invaded his mind.
00:02:09If he really was a werewolf, did he belong to the lupus pack? I'd never seen anything like it. Never.
00:02:18I've never seen a werewolf with those abilities or such an altered appearance. Would he get into trouble?
00:02:24Why would they eat someone from the lupus pack now that the two packs had joined forces?
00:02:29"Oh, man, I'm overthinking this," Midwag muttered. "I'm just going to do it the old way."
00:02:38He bent down, transformed completely, and began to eat. Things were always easier when
00:02:44He was completely transformed. Instincts took over. Hesitation vanished.
00:02:52It became simple. Consume and grow. Just outside the butcher shop, the howlers continued
00:02:59They waited patiently. They had heard the noise inside, the sounds of the fight, but they continued on.
00:03:05They followed Midwag's orders to the letter. Furthermore, they believed there was practically nothing in the city.
00:03:12that could defeat Midwag. There was another reason why Midwag used to tell others that he
00:03:18They would stop him during a fight. It allowed him to activate his class's special trait. A trait
00:03:25His power only increased when he fought alone. The boss is taking a while with this.
00:03:31"And Ramos?" one of them asked. "Hey, don't call him boss," another replied quickly. "That word..."
00:03:40It's reserved for one person only. Don't get things mixed up. We're howlers through and through. Me
00:03:48I also really like Midwag. But you have to respect that word. Ah, you're right. So how do you do it then?
00:03:55"Shall we call?" another replied with a smile. "The older uncle. I've heard it's a sign of respect that..."
00:04:03It's used in other countries. Even if they're not family, you respect them as if they were. And for
00:04:09All of us, he's our oldest uncle. The group looked at each other and nodded in agreement. At that moment
00:04:17They heard the sound of the door opening. Big guy. Is everything alright? Are you hurt? Yes,
00:04:25"I'm fine," Midwag said as he left, wiping his mouth. "Contact the police station to clear this up."
00:04:33Tell them he's a deranged rebel. He started walking without stopping. Midwag knew it wasn't wise to say
00:04:40that he was a werewolf. If people started hearing rumors, they might assume it was the howlers.
00:04:47Those involved. Until they knew exactly what was going on, it was best to keep it to themselves.
00:04:53In secret. And what the hell about the name? he added, looking at them. The group continued walking
00:05:00The city afterward, looking for more trouble. They noticed that Midwag was acting a little strangely.
00:05:07It was subtle, but quite obvious. He seemed to be looking for something. Looking for another problem. Perhaps with
00:05:15hoping to find another of those creatures. But they couldn't find anything. Finally, the group
00:05:22They decided to have dinner together. As usual, they chose a large barbecue chain. Almost everyone liked it.
00:05:30Meat. And it was one of the few things they agreed on. Midwag sat there and
00:05:36eat
00:05:37Calmly. I still wonder what that thing was. Midwag thought as he continued chewing. He wanted
00:05:45Take a second look before making a scene. He took another bite. He probably would have
00:05:52More than one of them in the city. Right? He leaned back slightly in his chair. Thinking. If not
00:05:59I can't find anyone. Galdark probably knows something. Just before leaving the city to
00:06:05Look for him. I need to make sure the city is completely safe. Wow! One of them suddenly said
00:06:12The members. Wow, old man. You're eating more than usual today. That's your eighth order already.
00:06:21You must have used up a lot of energy in that fight. Midwag blinked and looked at the plates he had
00:06:27He had been lost in thought and had simply continued eating what was put in front of him.
00:06:33He walked ahead, oblivious. Plate after plate had disappeared. But when he stopped, he realized
00:06:41of something strange. I was still hungry. Chapter 1752. Growing Hunger. After the comments of the
00:06:50Furthermore, Midwag stopped ordering. They had already been to the restaurant several times. Usually, after
00:06:57After six orders, he was satisfied, so it seemed a little strange to him. Normally, at that point, he would
00:07:05He would lean back a little, rub his stomach, and feel satisfied. Today, however, even after
00:07:12Even after the plates had been cleared and everyone else had slowed down, I still felt somewhat uneasy. With
00:07:19Everything that was happening, he was more in tune with things that simply felt like
00:07:25different compared to before. My appetite has increased, Midwag thought. It's normal, as one
00:07:33As I get stronger, the amount I can consume increases along with my power. I suppose eating that man...
00:07:40The wolf could have made me stronger than I thought. That had to be the answer. By consuming
00:07:47He benefited from facing strong opponents, that much was clear. His body adapted, his strength increased,
00:07:55And naturally, that would mean needing more resources to fuel that growth. Even so,
00:08:01This time the feeling was a little different. As they wandered around in a group, they finally heard
00:08:08that there was trouble. Midwag was the first to realize it and ran out into the streets. His
00:08:14Their senses were sharper than everyone else's, and something in the tone of the scream had cut through the noise
00:08:20a regular in the city. He jumped and grabbed onto the edge of some of the building structures.
00:08:26nearby and propelled himself upwards, finally reaching a rooftop. He kept running
00:08:32while he was looking for someone. Each leap between rooftops was easy for him, as his body responded with
00:08:39Speed. Maybe it's another one of those werewolves. If I find them, I can ask them what they're doing here and...
00:08:46Which group do they belong to? Tense Midwag. Part of him hoped he was one of them. If he was
00:08:54Related to the previous events, perhaps I could piece something together. Finally, he slipped through
00:09:01From one of the rooftops, he could now hear the shouts more clearly. It was a man standing there, with
00:09:07he
00:09:08a body transformed into an altered one and a rather long tongue. Meanwhile, a woman, wounded and
00:09:15With cuts, he lay on the ground. "Ah, it's you," the man said as he stepped back, noticing the color
00:09:22of the uniform. "Listen, I don't want any trouble. This woman is my wife, I promise." We just had an argument
00:09:31It was a little while ago, and I lost my patience. All of this is stressful now, you know? I have to live a hectic life and
00:09:39I have to hide. But this bitch didn't understand. Midwag then approached the woman who was in the
00:09:46floor, but he didn't even need to touch her. "But she wasn't disturbed," Midwag stated. "Accident or not,
00:09:54"You killed her." The smell alone told him everything he needed to know. The blood had already begun to...
00:10:01He sat down and there was no pulse. The man seemed to be panicking, and then he stuck his tongue out from above.
00:10:08trying to cut it. Midwag reached out and slashed it away. A loud metallic clang was heard.
00:10:16almost as if he had hit something metallic. It was no surprise that if a deranged person had attacked
00:10:22A normal civilian with that would have died. Midwag charged and did what it had to do. There was no
00:10:29A prolonged struggle. The difference in strength was evident from the start. Shortly after, the rest
00:10:36They managed to catch up with Midwag. However, upon arriving, they saw Midwag completely transformed and in the middle
00:10:44of something. "Hey, big guy, is everything alright?" they asked. They saw the woman who had been murdered.
00:10:51to the side, and then they saw Midwag stop as he turned around with blood covering his mouth and
00:10:57fur. "Yeah, okay, this damn altered killed the woman. I was just making sure that no
00:11:04"I could never do it again," Midwag replied as he walked away. His voice sounded normal.
00:11:11"Too normal." The others watched the scene and then approached the body, whose flesh had
00:11:18had been almost devoured. They froze for a moment. "Is the big guy okay?" one of them asked.
00:11:25They saw them jump in the opposite direction. "I mean, I know he's eaten upset food before,
00:11:31"But doesn't he only eat the strong ones?" This guy seemed like a normal agitated person, with no gang affiliation or anything.
00:11:39Maybe he was just angry about what happened. The reason Midwag left the scene so abruptly...
00:11:45It was quick because he didn't realize what he had done before he did it. In the middle of the fight,
00:11:51It bit the disturbed man right in the neck, killing him instantly. But the action was almost like
00:11:57if it were something internal, instead of something I had decided to do. And the following series of actions
00:12:03It certainly wasn't her doing, for she continued devouring the man, without stopping. She hadn't thought about it. She hadn't
00:12:11She had considered it. She had simply acted. "This isn't normal. This has never happened before," Midwag thought.
00:12:19as she continued walking through the streets. "Right after eating that guy, I feel even hungrier."
00:12:25than before." "Is something wrong? Did I eat a piece of bad meat? Was it that damn werewolf?"
00:12:34The memory of that previous fight flashed through his mind. The strange sensation of the flesh,
00:12:40The taste was slightly different than usual. It didn't hurt Midwag, it was just annoying, because he could still feel the
00:12:47The need to eat. If there was one thing Midwag had, it was a strong will, so he could suppress it.
00:12:54But a great worry was brewing. When I passed by that woman too, I wanted to
00:13:00eat it. I had a strong will to suppress these thoughts and not act on them because
00:13:07Now, but the question was for how long. Chapter 1753. Leaving the City, Part 1.
00:13:16The next day, Midwag felt the same way. He thought that perhaps the problem would disappear if he just slept.
00:13:24Normally, when something didn't agree with him, rest calmed him down. His body had always
00:13:30It adapted quickly, especially after fights or after consuming stronger opponents. That had been
00:13:37The pattern for years. And while he didn't exactly feel worse, he certainly didn't feel better.
00:13:44And hunger was something that grew within him and bothered him even more as time went on.
00:13:50It wasn't a pain
00:13:51Neither acute nor weak. It was a constant, persistent sensation. Something dull, persistent, irritating. One of those
00:14:00that remain in the back of the mind and gradually begin to affect thoughts. Even so,
00:14:07Midwag now knew that something was wrong, so he decided to head towards the others on the river promenade.
00:14:13It was one of the most beautiful places in the city. An area that Midwag came to like.
00:14:20sound
00:14:20The sound of water flowing through the canal, the distant chatter of people enjoying the morning, was a reminder
00:14:27that the city had returned to some semblance of normality. His crew had been invited, those who
00:14:33They were close members of the strike force. They were laughing among themselves as he approached, unaware of each other.
00:14:39I realize the weight I carried on my chest. Thanks to everyone's help, this city has become
00:14:46I'm pretty sure. We've done most of our work, but there's something I need to do.
00:14:52I'm leaving this city for a while. I'll be back as soon as I can, maybe even tomorrow if I manage.
00:14:59Fix it. So if any problems arise, you're the ones who need to solve them. It was sudden.
00:15:06for the group, but they expected it to happen at some point. Midwag wasn't someone who would stay put.
00:15:12He was quiet for a long time. They knew he had contacts beyond Centerfield. We understand the older uncle.
00:15:19"You're so strong that the howlers need you from time to time," said one, his fist clenched.
00:15:26They need you if they're talking about important things. The others nodded in agreement, and although
00:15:33That wasn't the case; Midwag thought it was more difficult and time-consuming to correct them. Explaining that he was leaving
00:15:40because he feared that something was wrong with himself, which would only cause concern. With that, everyone said goodbye
00:15:47Bigunkle, since he'd gone wherever he went. Most people thought of Slog. Midwag himself.
00:15:53he thought
00:15:53He was going to return to the city of Ruin, but not yet. There was still one big thing bothering him.
00:15:59the
00:15:59back of the head. And I just wanted to check everyone at Centerfield one more time. I wanted to check if
00:16:06There were more of those strange werewolves. Although talking to Galdar was the right thing to do, there was no
00:16:12There was no guarantee that he knew anything and he could be wasting his time. Midwag didn't know why, but
00:16:18He felt that time wasn't his greatest asset right now. That thought alone unsettled him. Always.
00:16:25He had been progressing at his own pace. Now he felt as if something was moving beside him, gaining ground.
00:16:32Silently. That's why he decided to make one last desperate search. If he couldn't get answers
00:16:39directly from the strange werewolf, then at least he could recover his body this time and give it back to him
00:16:45Tom or someone, to at least investigate a little. What Midwag also thought was that bad things
00:16:51They tend to happen when strong people are away. So, in her mind, if she had told him
00:16:58Everyone who left the city might be attacked by this strange werewolf, and he might come
00:17:04to
00:17:04save them. The thought wasn't entirely logical, but instincts weren't always logical. He searched for a day and
00:17:12night, but he couldn't find any sign of the werewolves, but he did find something else. Trails of
00:17:19More bodies than I expected. Not all at once, nor piled up, but scattered incidents.
00:17:28Reports of missing persons. Strange deaths with little explanation. So much so that he even went
00:17:35to the police station to try to get a more comprehensive report on the incident. I'm sorry, we're overwhelmed.
00:17:42We're helping them as much as we can because of everything they've done for us, but really, no
00:17:48We have enough staff to handle everything that's coming in. Anyway, he said something to her.
00:17:55At midback. The deaths were even higher than before they arrived. The unknown cases of death. It's
00:18:02Almost like a werewolf under a full moon. That tells me there are definitely more of those guys around here.
00:18:08in
00:18:08Somewhere, Midback thought. However, even after searching, even when night fell,
00:18:15Midback still couldn't find anyone related to the case he was looking for.
00:18:21The hunger still gnawed at her stomach. It hadn't gone away. So she decided to try searching in
00:18:28More hidden places. Areas where they wouldn't be so visible. It would make sense for them to try to hide.
00:18:35Midback went to places where he thought people would hide. He went into many bathrooms, but found nothing.
00:18:42Nothing. And he visited areas where homeless people congregated. He imagined that if these people
00:18:49They were killed or eaten, so it was less likely that someone would be reported or found.
00:18:56His mind began to draw darker lines. Finally, Midback found himself walking underneath
00:19:03from a bridge that crossed another branch of the river. It wasn't the main river and was quite far from the
00:19:09Main city. The area was damp. The smell of stagnant water mingled with something else. It was
00:19:16Then when it stopped. I can smell you. Your scent is incredibly strong. Ha, ha, ha! A
00:19:24A deep voice that almost made the ground itself tremble. Emerging from the shadows of the river, a
00:19:30A large, demonic creature covered in fur. The air around it felt heavier. You could only
00:19:38Smell me because I let you smell me. I need to introduce myself. Midback shook his head. He didn't need her to...
00:19:45They spoke his name aloud. His mere presence said it. I know who you are, Unzoku. Chapter 1754
00:19:55Leaving the city, part 2. Unzoku's menacing size and appearance were just as
00:20:02Midback thought, and his presence remained unmatched. Even standing there, watching him from
00:20:08From head to toe, it was clear this wasn't just any alpha. It wasn't like facing Lupus or...
00:20:15no rival pack leader. Just by looking at him, it seemed as if Midback was contemplating a being
00:20:21Completely different. One that wasn't part of the mortal world he found himself in. There was something
00:20:28There was something unnatural in the air around him. He felt heavier, as if the world itself were bending.
00:20:35slightly diminished their presence. Even the sound of the river behind them seemed quieter.
00:20:41But his mind was strong, no matter what his body wanted him to do. A slight pressure...
00:20:48It was oppressive. A deep instinct told him to back down, to kneel, to lower his
00:20:54Midback wasn't going to do any of that. Now there was only one person he would be willing to do anything for.
00:21:01to kneel. I suppose you're the one behind those ugly creatures that have been giving
00:21:07"They roam the city, causing chaos and eating everyone they see," Midback asked. Unzoku
00:21:14He clapped, and as he did so, the air vibrated, producing a rather loud sound that echoed under the bridge.
00:21:21It wasn't just applause. It was strength. Power contained in something simple. Demonstrating strength.
00:21:28that he had in his hands. Why are you asking something so obvious?
00:21:33I ask you, Unzoku. Aren't you more curious to know why I've come to see you? Midback knew the
00:21:40probability of what had happened to Lupus. He had heard from the others that the most likely thing was
00:21:46that Unzoku was the one who had controlled him. In many ways, this made Midback think.
00:21:52If this creature could control Lupus, then even with his strong will,
00:21:58Could he do anything about it? It was unlikely. Lupus had been stubborn. Strong-willed. Even so,
00:22:07Even he had fallen. Was he trying to do the same? Now we're trying to control midback.
00:22:14to try and get rid of the howlers from within. Midback could feel it again. That hunger.
00:22:21The dull ache in my stomach that hadn't gone away since yesterday. Do you even notice?
00:22:27What's been happening to you? I ask you, Unzoku. An insatiable hunger. That's the first sign.
00:22:34Then, thoughts begin to invade your mind. Imaginary scenes unfold.
00:22:41That's the second step. Third, those scenes in your head are no longer so imaginary.
00:22:49You start acting on them and that's when your body starts to change.
00:22:54That's when you become a gluttonous werewolf. Midback's eyes narrowed.
00:23:00A gluttonous werewolf. Was that it? And everything that happens to me is your fault? Or because of me?
00:23:06Unzoku began to laugh, interrupting Midback. The sound wasn't light or mocking. It was deep and
00:23:14thunderous, bouncing off the concrete. I have nothing to do with it, Unzoku said, shaking his head.
00:23:22You were already halfway there, all on your own, eating everything in sight, eager to keep growing. Your mindset
00:23:30It was already there. You're never satisfied, so your body kept growing. The gluttonous werewolf is the
00:23:38The ultimate werewolf type. As you continue to have this strong desire, your body
00:23:44It begins to change and deform in this desire. Faster healing, greater durability, and a body
00:23:51who can do things that shouldn't even be possible. Midback, that desire of yours to grow,
00:23:57I can prevent it. And I can turn you into the strongest glutton that ever lived by leading this
00:24:03A new kind of werewolf. You're the kind of person who isn't meant to be guided, but rather you are
00:24:09the type of person who is destined to lead. Midback listened. There was a part of him that felt that
00:24:16Something stirred at those words. The strongest. To lead. A body that could overcome limits.
00:24:24He remembered the restaurant. The hunger for more. The way he had devoured that agitated man without thinking. The
00:24:32The way even passing by the dead woman had made him think. When I passed by that woman
00:24:38I wanted to eat her too. Unzoku continued laughing, while giving Midback a moment to join in as well.
00:24:45make your decision. Hunger returned. So, are you saying that if I accept your offer and
00:24:53If I continue down this path, will I become one of those ugly bastards? I'm asking, Midback. Thanks because I
00:24:59You just gave the main reason why I would never want to become one. I want to be stronger.
00:25:05But there's always a limit to what I'm willing to give up, and I'm pretty handsome, you know? I've lost
00:25:12My love, and now I need time to find a new one. And nobody loves something as ugly as that, or as...
00:25:19ugly
00:25:20Like you. Unzoku responded by growling, lifting his lip and showing his large teeth that were almost
00:25:26Four times the size of a werewolf. The air trembled slightly at the mere growl.
00:25:32"There was an easy way to do all of this," Unzoku said. "I wanted you to choose this path on your own."
00:25:40That would have made things easier. Why are things never that easy for me? Are you willing to do
00:25:47Doing things the hard way? Unzoku began transforming only his arms. The muscles
00:25:54They bulged unnaturally. The claws extended further, thicker than any other.
00:25:59Another one Midback had seen before. Midback felt it then. The pressure. The hunger. The instinct.
00:26:07For a brief second, the thought crossed her mind. If I just let go. But it wasn't him.
00:26:15"Hey!" Midback shouted. "Do you have green hair?" The question had taken Unzoku by surprise.
00:26:23Her hair wasn't green at all. There was a flash of confusion in those monstrous eyes.
00:26:30So why the hell are you trying to tell me what to do? Midback said as his whole body
00:26:35It was transforming. Its fur was overflowing, its muscles were expanding, and its claws were extending. It didn't wait for another
00:26:43Word. He leaped forward, determined to fight Unzoku. Chapter 1755. Midback's Last Resort.
00:26:51Midback rose completely transformed, his body vibrating with a pure and intoxicating energy.
00:26:58I had never felt a force like this before. In the time leading up to this moment, I had consumed
00:27:05against a considerable number of strong opponents, absorbing their power and adding it to his own
00:27:11reserves. His muscles felt dense, like coiled steel springs, and his senses
00:27:18They were at their peak. This confrontation would be the ultimate test to see how much
00:27:24It had progressed, and they wondered if its evolution was enough to face a true monster. With a
00:27:30With a savage growl, Midback charged. Just as he closed the distance, entering personal space
00:27:37Unzoku's Midback planted both feet firmly and kicked the ground with explosive force. He launched his
00:27:44body in violent rotation, spinning through the air like a living drill, a spinning rocket
00:27:50aimed directly at his target. The impact was thunderous. Midback's legs crashed together.
00:27:57against Unzoku, but the larger creature reacted in time, raising both hands to
00:28:03block the attack. The force of the impact caused a shockwave in the area, but Unzoku remained
00:28:10"Firmly." "Yeah," Unzoku grunted, a hint of genuine surprise in his deep voice. "You have more strength than..."
00:28:18that he imagined. Midback didn't lose momentum. When he stopped his initial hit, gravity took over.
00:28:25He fell. Now, positioned just below Unzoku's guard, he saw an opportunity. With the
00:28:33With lightning speed, she flicked her wrist, slashing upwards with her sharp nails, aiming
00:28:39directly to the weak point under Unzoku's chin. It was a blow meant to disembowel him, but
00:28:45Upon impact, the nails encountered impossible resistance. They struck Unzoku, undoubtedly, but the nails
00:28:53They didn't even penetrate his skin. It was as if Midback had punched a stone wall.
00:28:59solid instead of meat. Unzoku, realizing that the plague was too close for his
00:29:06Feeling comfortable, he tried to jump back to create some distance. However, he changed tactics to
00:29:12Halfway there. Instead of retreating, his enormous hand reached out and grabbed Midback's leg. There was no
00:29:20Time to react. Unzoku threw Midback like a rag doll, crashing him to the ground.
00:29:26violently against the concrete wall that supported the bridge under which they were fighting.
00:29:31Shocker! Midback's entire body shuddered upon impact. The force was catastrophic, causing
00:29:38Instantly, a web of large cracks appeared on the pillar. Clouds of dust and bricks rose up.
00:29:44The loose pieces fell to the ground, making a noise around Midback as he fell, gasping. Unzoku
00:29:51It loomed over him. Its eyes gleamed with a twisted curiosity.
00:29:56"Is this it?" Unzoku asked, his voice echoing beneath the bridge. "Is this your desperate struggle for the..."
00:30:04Life? You said you wanted to be even stronger than the alphas. So show me. Show me that fight.
00:30:12Show me why you deserve that power and they don't. Show me your name. The mockery awakened something primal.
00:30:19In Midback. Wasn't he supposed to die there? Not like that. In response, Midback let out a heart-wrenching scream.
00:30:26which tore at his throat. He forced himself to his feet, his muscles bulging and tense beneath his fur,
00:30:34while pushing his body to its limits. He attacked Unzoku again, a blazing fury. Even before
00:30:41Upon reaching the largest beast, Midback was already brandishing his swords. His hands
00:30:47They became a blur of movement, slicing through the air. He unleashed a relentless barrage.
00:30:53with claws, transforming into a whirlwind of blades. Cut! Cut! Cut! The attacks
00:31:01They rained down on Unzoku's body. Six of them struck the same area of his torso.
00:31:07Mere repetition of force finally yielded results. Unzoku grunted, his feet slipping backward.
00:31:14the ground. It was only a few centimeters, but Midback had moved it. Although the attacks hadn't
00:31:21Unzoku, gravely wounded, the largest werewolf was forced to crouch, protecting
00:31:28His vital organs throbbed with frenzy. When the attack finally subsided, Unzoku opened his arms, ready to
00:31:35He grabbed the attacker, but his eyes widened. Midback wasn't there. In the split second
00:31:41The second Unzoku shuddered, Midback ducked, gliding across the ground like a shadow. He grabbed hold.
00:31:49to Unzoku's ankle, using the lever to balance his own body with centrifugal force.
00:31:55Now he was directly behind Unzoku. Midback didn't hesitate. He clenched his fists, transforming his claws into
00:32:05He struck relentlessly and mercilessly, sinking his knuckles into the muscles of Unzoku's back.
00:32:11Each blow was a loud, resounding blow that echoed like a war drum. A dull thud.
00:32:17A dull thud. A dull thud. The blows were strong. Even for a large, sturdy creature.
00:32:25as Unzoku, receiving a direct beating from Midback, who at that time was one of the most powerful werewolves
00:32:31strong, it must hurt. Unzoku roared with rage and started to turn around, but Midback was already in
00:32:38A move to finish off their combo. Seeing Unzoku's head, Midback unleashed a powerful kick
00:32:44The rotating blade struck Unzoku squarely in the face. The impact violently knocked Unzoku's head off.
00:32:52For the first time, the metallic taste of iron filled his mouth.
00:32:56Zangraba. Unzoku wiped his lip, looking at the blood, and then smiled.
00:33:02"Perfect," Unzoku said, his tone shifting from mockery to sinister approval.
00:33:08Simply perfect. You're the perfect person to become a glutton. You're perfect for
00:33:15guide them to their end. Midback didn't try to hear the riddle. He didn't care about the gluttons or the
00:33:22Leadership. He only cared about survival and victory. Rushing forward, he threw everything he had into the fight.
00:33:30that he had left in a desperate aerial attack. At that same moment, Unzoku launched his own fist to
00:33:37They faced him. Their fists collided in midair. The difference in power was immediately apparent.
00:33:44Unzoku's fist was approximately four times larger than Midback's. Physics...
00:33:50He seized him instantly. Midback's hand was crushed backward. The disgusting sound of
00:33:57His knuckles, as they broke, filled the air, and the kinetic energy threw him backward. He slid down the
00:34:04The terrain was rough, and he was dangerously close to the edge. Midback barely managed to plant his feet.
00:34:11Healthy claws on the ledge, digging into the earth to avoid falling into the rushing river. Breathing with
00:34:17Despite the difficulty and looking at his mangled arm, Midback didn't care about the pain. The adrenaline masked it.
00:34:24The agony as he stood up. Even if I die. Midback growled, clutching his broken hand. I'll make sure
00:34:32to make you bleed as much as possible. Unzoku seemed almost impressed. I think you call it the strength of
00:34:39"Attack," Unzoku mused. "They're quite strong from what I've seen. And with you in charge, I'm sure of it."
00:34:47I'm confident you'll rise to the challenge of taking them down. It was a good fight, Midback.
00:34:54Ignoring all the cryptic words, Midback continued his attack. He forced his legs to move,
00:35:01He forced his body to obey his will. As he ran, for a brief moment,
00:35:08Images flashed through his mind. He thought about the other members of the strike force. Time had passed.
00:35:14He had fought alongside them. If he didn't defeat Unzoku here and now, what would happen to him?
00:35:22It seemed Unzoku had plans for them. Did he want to mold them into the same kind of men?
00:35:29A wolf like him? Or something worse? And then what? They would hunt them down and kill them. Maybe even the
00:35:36howlers. They would be treated like abominations. That was not what she wanted for them. She felt a
00:35:44a wave of protective fury. With his remaining fist, he hurled it forward with all his might.
00:35:50Forces, aiming for Unzoku's heart. But the punch never came. He was grabbed from the side.
00:35:57by a hairy hand. It wasn't Unzoku's hand. Midwag froze. The hand that held
00:36:04His fist was clearly that of a werewolf, but it possessed the immense strength necessary to
00:36:09He stopped him dead in his tracks with a powerful punch. Slowly, Midwag turned his head
00:36:16He looked at the intruder. He could see that it was just like the other werewolf he had faced before.
00:36:22His fur was torn and matted, and his muscles were stretched to the point of
00:36:28It was torn apart, giving it a grotesque and powerful appearance. But there was something else about its face,
00:36:35Something familiar in the structure of his jaw and eyes. Midwag's eyes widened in
00:36:41as he realized what was happening. "Wait," thought Midwag, his mind racing. "Don't
00:36:49"I had seen before." He stared at the creature holding his fist. "You're not that fighter from
00:36:56The AFC." Churchill. Chapter 1756 An Important Visit. Faced with the inability of Midwag and its entire attacking force
00:37:06To respond to any type of communication, the situation had escalated from a concern
00:37:12less than a blatant red alert. The silence was deafening and left the howlers with no option.
00:37:19The group had collectively decided that a powerful central team should be led
00:37:24directly to Centerfield to investigate exactly what was happening. Hopefully,
00:37:30It would be a quick trip. At best, they would simply encounter the attack force.
00:37:36perhaps after having lost their communications equipment, and they would bring them back to Slogue or send them
00:37:42to their next mission. However, as they packed up their equipment, none of them felt that
00:37:49That would be the case. There was a heavy feeling in the air, a premonition that they were getting involved.
00:37:56in something shady. At that moment, the team had gathered in front of the Wolves swimming club. The air of
00:38:03the
00:38:03The morning was cool as they waited on the sidewalk. A few moments later, an unremarkable minivan pulled up.
00:38:10at the entrance. It wasn't the most glamorous vehicle for a group of top-level fighters, but it was
00:38:17Practical. Park was in the driver's seat and seemed relaxed as he opened the doors.
00:38:23He was collecting lights along the way. He seemed even smarter than me, Park remarked, leaning over the console.
00:38:30central to addressing the group. In fact, he was standing right outside my door this morning before
00:38:37from me drinking the coffee. I don't even know how he knew where I lived. He wouldn't be a good tracker if he didn't.
00:38:44"If I knew that," he said, looking from the back of the vehicle. The goalkeeper was already seated, with a
00:38:51His posture was rigid and alert. His bow was carefully placed on the seat next to him, treated
00:38:58with more reverence than a passenger. Besides, I hate sitting around waiting for things to happen.
00:39:05It's always better to anticipate problems. The others exchanged glances. There was a subtle
00:39:12There was nervousness among them when they saw each other like that. The core of the howlers had worked in close collaboration.
00:39:18They had collaborated for a long time. They were friends who had lived together. They were used to a
00:39:25A determined rhythm, a blend of serious work and informal jokes, even in the face of danger. Even
00:39:32With Kai, who used to be the most uptight, you could joke around from time to time. But Lucena was different.
00:39:39Although they had worked with outsiders before, they had never worked with someone so worried
00:39:45because of the situation. He seemed unable to take a breath, radiating his intensity in waves.
00:39:52They piled into the car and the doors slammed shut. Park shifted gears and they began
00:40:00We'll drive through the familiar streets of Slogue, heading towards the highway. Remember, I'm just giving you a ride.
00:40:07Park said, glancing in the rearview mirror with a reassuring smile. "I'll wait for you in the car if..."
00:40:14They need a quick getaway. I won't get directly involved in the fighting unless we...
00:40:19Touch us. Consider me your mobile evacuator and your doctor. Sure, said Gary, returning the
00:40:27smile. It was good having Park. He was reliable. However, glancing toward the passenger seat,
00:40:35Her smile faded. She noticed Kai seemed glued to his phone, his thumb on his hand.
00:40:42moving quickly, his brow furrowed with concentration. The color seemed to fade.
00:40:48slightly from his face. Wait a second, Kai said suddenly, his voice clipped. Stop the car a
00:40:56For a moment. Now, the urgency in his tone was undeniable. Since Kai rarely panicked without reason,
00:41:04Park didn't question it. He quickly signaled and stopped the truck at a bus stop.
00:41:11A little further on. They still hadn't left the city limits of Slogue. Hey, if they put me
00:41:18"A fine for this, they're not going to deduct it from my salary, are they?" Park asked, trying to lighten the mood.
00:41:25The atmosphere, although it kept the engine running. This is important. They just posted a notice,
00:41:31Kai said, ignoring the joke. He turned his phone screen so the others could see it.
00:41:39Although the text was too small to read from behind. There is a lockdown notice
00:41:44strict. No one is allowed to enter or leave Centerfield. Authorities have imposed a
00:41:51Total lockdown of the city. The car fell silent. They haven't said why, Kai continued.
00:41:57But they've also cut off all communications. Internet, phone lines, everything is in the dark.
00:42:06Damn it, C. That's pretty serious. Inu exclaimed from the back, leaning between the seats.
00:42:14Wait, is that why you can't contact others? Because of this lockdown? Kai shook his head.
00:42:21Head slowly. I had already considered that possibility. I don't think so. This notice was published
00:42:29Just a moment ago. Minutes ago. But when I asked Sin before, she told me she hadn't received it.
00:42:35information from others for a long time, long before this notice was published.
00:42:41Something serious must be happening there to cause a total city shutdown.
00:42:47So that means there are even more reasons to go there. Right? Cone without lockdown,
00:42:53Gary said firmly. He clenched his fist. If his people were trapped in a locked-down city,
00:43:00They needed it more than ever. I think the team we have is still the right one for the job.
00:43:07We can find a way in. Although Gary said that with conviction,
00:43:12And they were all about to nod in agreement when the vibration of a phone interrupted them.
00:43:18Gary looked down. He had received a text message, and the name that appeared on the screen was
00:43:25No. He read the message once, then twice, opening his eyes slightly. It seems we should
00:43:33"Let's go back to the mansion," Gary said, lowering his voice slightly. "It seems someone wants to meet with us."
00:43:40Wait. Already? But we haven't even left the city, Park said, looking confused.
00:43:48Does that mean he managed to contact Black Jack? Was the mission canceled? No,
00:43:55Gary replied, looking out the windshield toward the headquarters. He said they contacted us.
00:44:03And what are they waiting for? The group felt a surge of nervousness. The phrase was ominous. That's all.
00:44:10After asking questions, Park put the car in gear, turned around, and began the return trip to the Jaules mansion.
00:44:16The return journey was silent, filled with heavy thoughts. They didn't have a single moment
00:44:23There was no time to rest or formulate a plan. Everything was already underway, going at full speed.
00:44:29When the mansion came into view, Kai spoke.
00:44:33Lucen, I think it would be best if you stayed in the vehicle. We know the situation could
00:44:39becoming more intense, and having a hidden card is better than showing all our strength immediately,
00:44:46Kai said. Lucen nodded and unbuckled his seatbelt. I'll stay in the woods. There's an area
00:44:53Dense, at the edge of the garden. If there's any problem, I'll come right away. Just shout and let me know.
00:45:01The truck slowed down near the perimeter. Lucen emerged like a ghost.
00:45:08disappearing into the foliage with their bow. By then, everyone suspected who they were.
00:45:14The visitors. The vampires. But the question remained. Why had they come directly
00:45:20Slogue? Were they looking for Marcus? Was it to question them about the problematic situation?
00:45:26that was developing in the underworld? Or perhaps, just perhaps, it was to get rid of the
00:45:32Howlers completely? Finally, the truck stopped at the main entrance.
00:45:38Gary went in first, with the others beside him. They pushed open the double doors and entered the
00:45:45Main hall. There, waiting for them, were three men. They wore tailored black suits.
00:45:53They exuded wealth and authority. They appeared to be of different ages, but Gary knew instantly.
00:45:59none of them were under thirty. And more importantly, the aura they radiated was
00:46:05Suffocating. They stood up as soon as Gary entered. Gary's instincts kicked in. He knew instantly.
00:46:13They weren't ordinary vampires sent as messengers. They were apex predators. Man
00:46:20From the center, he stepped forward. He had an imposing presence that demanded attention.
00:46:26Allow us to introduce ourselves, although I know you already know some of us, said the man in the center with
00:46:32His voice was soft and refined. He pointed to the man on his left. "Here we have Hintalon, the current one."
00:46:39"Leader of the fourth family," the man stated. Gary's gaze shifted to Hint. "A leader of
00:46:46"Family. Here, and to my right," the man in the center continued, pointing to the other figure. "We have a
00:46:54Ilok Sanguis of the thirteenth family." Then the speaker placed a hand on his own chest,
00:47:00A small, confident smile spread across her lips. "And finally, I'll introduce myself. I am..."
00:47:08Robachá, the current leader of the second family." The silence that followed was so thick it could
00:47:14crush a normal human. Three leaders of vampire families were present at the mansion of the
00:47:21Howlers all at once. It wasn't a social visit. It was serious. Chapter 1757 A Warning.
00:47:30Part 1. Thanks to their previous conversations with Lupus, Gary and Kai had gained an understanding
00:47:37a much deeper understanding of the complex society in which they were now immersed. At last, they had an idea
00:47:43a clearer picture of how vampires operated, and it wasn't a simple hierarchy. As far as
00:47:49They knew that vampire society was governed by thirteen distinct families, each with its own
00:47:56History, power, and territory. Seated above them, or perhaps beside them, depending on who you ask.
00:48:03He asked, and there was the vampire king. The king was also a member of one of these families.
00:48:09but it was treated as a completely separate entity, occupying a position that demanded
00:48:15reverence. However, the political dynamics were murky. It was difficult to know if all the vampires
00:48:23They decided to follow what the king said as absolute law. They obeyed him out of loyalty, fear, or tradition.
00:48:31In a way, that seemed to be the case after Gary's brief previous encounter with the king. It reflected a
00:48:37undeniable authority. But what was equally evident was that the leaders of each family
00:48:42They held incredibly high and important positions. They were kings in their own right within their domains.
00:48:50That structure was a breeding ground for conflict. With thirteen powerful groups, each
00:48:57Led by an ancient, egocentric being, not everyone could agree on the same thing. The struggles
00:49:03Internal conflicts were inevitable. And there was another obvious fact. The leaders or heads of these families
00:49:10They were incredibly strong. They were the pinnacle of their race. So, seeing not just one, but three
00:49:17From them visiting the howler monkeys in person, everyone in the room thought it was very likely that
00:49:23It was very bad news. It seemed less like a diplomatic visit and more like an invading force. Without,
00:49:30along with the other main members of the Howlers, they were already in the main hall
00:49:36of the mansion. The tension in the room was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Everyone
00:49:43They stood far from the center of the room, their backs against the walls, but they remained
00:49:49They stood close to one another in defensive formation. Their hands were near their weapons, and their gaze darted about.
00:49:56They quickly moved among the intruders. It was clear that the situation had been somewhat hostile.
00:50:02before Gary and Kai entered the room. Gary took a step forward, trying to dispel the
00:50:09a stifling atmosphere with his usual informal demeanor. "Is this a pleasure? Or something like that," Gary said.
00:50:16Nervous, scratching the back of his neck, he looked at the three imposing figures in black suits. "And what brings you here?"
00:50:25Before Gary could finish his sentence, the center leader, Roba Cha, from the second
00:50:31family, he raised a hand abruptly. He didn't point at Gary. His finger pointed directly at Kai. The others
00:50:39The people in the room gasped. Their muscles tensed, thinking something violent was about to happen.
00:50:45to happen immediately. "What does this mean?" Roba asked, lowering his voice until it became a
00:50:52A deep, dangerous growl. "Why is there a man in front of me with the eyes of an alpha?"
00:50:59When Roba spoke, there was an undeniable power in his voice. It wasn't as if he was asking a simple question.
00:51:06She demanded the answer as if it were her divine right. Her eyes fixed on Kai, analyzing
00:51:12the energy radiating from the blond teenager. Gary, from the Howlers, and Lupus, from Ruin City,
00:51:19"They're the only alphas who should be in this region," Roba declared incredulously. "We have
00:51:26I've been monitoring the movements. However, there's one right in front of me, and the two are one after the other.
00:51:34"on the other side." As Roba asked the question, an intimidating aura began to emanate from him. It wasn't
00:51:41Subtle. It was so intense it was visible to the naked eye. A dense red fog that floated in the air,
00:51:48distorting the light around them. The pressure in the room skyrocketed.
00:51:53making it difficult for the weaker members to breathe. Kai felt the weight of the aura pressing down on him,
00:52:00But he didn't give up. Instead, a fire ignited in his own eyes. "Oy,
00:52:08Spethky stepped forward, looking directly at the vampire leader. He didn't duck,
00:52:14He stood tall. "What do you think you're doing? Are you trying to intimidate us with all that?"
00:52:21"Power in our own house?" Kai's voice was sharp and cut through the heavy air. "And who are they?"
00:52:27How could you ask a question in that tone? Right now, you're in the house of the howlers. You're in
00:52:34our territory, treading on our soil. So they should relinquish their damned power and
00:52:41"Show us some respect." Kai already felt a certain antipathy towards the vampires with whom they had
00:52:47He was fed up. They were arrogant, contemptuous, and cruel. He really didn't like how they acted as if they were
00:52:54Gods who walked among insects, as if they were above the howlers. After having
00:53:00having reached such heights, after fighting tooth and nail for the howlers to achieve the position in
00:53:06where they were. Ruling Slogue and becoming one of the kings of the underworld,
00:53:13Kai wasn't going to tolerate this lack of respect. He felt the howlers had a duty to demonstrate their strength. If
00:53:19If they showed even a hint of weakness now, the vampires would devour them without a second thought.
00:53:26However, in response to Kai's challenge, Roba began to laugh. "Ha, ha, ha!" The laughter was cold.
00:53:35and
00:53:35Roba looked at Kai with pure contempt. "They're fools," Roba mocked. "Fools because they
00:53:43We have allowed them to continue existing. Do they now believe they have a place in this world? Do they believe they have
00:53:49a position equal to or higher than ours simply for having conquered a small city? I think
00:53:56"It's time they knew their place." The red aura surrounding Roba began to move. It swirled.
00:54:02violently, condensing around his right arm like a coiled snake of energy
00:54:08Red as blood. Ilok, the leader of the thirteenth family, saw this and his eyes widened. He knew the
00:54:17Roba's temper. "No!" Ilok shouted, taking a half step forward. It was too late. Roba was already
00:54:26He raised his hand and swung it forward as if throwing a punch. A burst of red aura
00:54:32The concentrated force shot from her palm, tearing through the air with a sharp screech. It was heading straight for
00:54:39towards Kai. The attack was swift, powerful enough to annihilate a normal human.
00:54:46An instant. But before he could reach Kai, a flash of movement intercepted his path. A fist.
00:54:54It shot out from the side and crashed directly into the beam of red aura. "Og!" The impact shook
00:55:01The room. The fist not only blocked the attack, but shattered it. The force of the punch
00:55:08disintegrated the energy structure into nothing more than harmless particles of light,
00:55:14disappearing completely into the ether. The three vampire leaders opened their eyes with genuine
00:55:20Surprise. They froze, contemplating the scene before them. Standing there,
00:55:27Gary stood with his fist still outstretched. His hand was completely unharmed, without even a
00:55:34A burn on his skin. A faint smoke rose from his knuckles. Gary slowly lowered his hand and looked at
00:55:41It steals right from the eyes. The playful, nervous behavior of moments before had
00:55:47completely disappeared. In its place was the cold, merciless gaze of a predator that
00:55:53He was protecting his pack. "Hey, I'm all for being welcoming and having a conversation,
00:55:59"But I think I need to make something very clear," Gary said in a low, firm voice. He moved forward, positioning himself
00:56:06physically in front of the others, protecting Kai with his body. "If they try to hurt anyone
00:56:13"Any member of my family, I'll kill them right here," Gary said, and the conviction in his voice chilled the air.
00:56:20Even if it starts a damn war. He took another step toward the vampire leaders. "So don't ever go back to
00:56:27"Do not attempt any of that; this is your last and only warning." Chapter 1758 A Warning
00:56:36Part 2. Gary's body moved before his conscious mind realized that he had
00:56:42It was pure instinct, a reflex honed by countless battles and the primal urge to
00:56:49to protect his pack. He saw the red flash of the attack, he felt the malevolent energy emanating from the
00:56:55The vampire leader's hand, and his body simply responded. He knew instantly that the blow was
00:57:01Powerful. It wasn't just a warning shot; it was loaded with intent. Although Gary hadn't expected it.
00:57:09The fact that it directly killed someone as strong as Kai was clearly designed to cause harm.
00:57:15considerable, perhaps to slash or mutilate it as a show of dominance. Gary wasn't going to allow that
00:57:21That should happen. Not in his house, and certainly not in front of him. There was no time to transform. The beast
00:57:29Inside him roared, demanding release, but the attack was too swift for physical movement.
00:57:36of bones and muscles. So, as he lunged toward the projectile, Gary drew on his other source of power.
00:57:43which he had cultivated. He gathered his blood from the depths of his abdomen, channeling it swiftly through
00:57:50his meridians and concentrating it completely in his right fist. When his fist impacted the aura
00:57:56The swirling red cloud created a shockwave that ruffled everyone's clothes.
00:58:02present. The Ki acted as a perfect counterforce. It clashed with the vampiric energy,
00:58:09completely destroying the structure. The red fog not only shifted, but disintegrated.
00:58:16dissolving into harmless sparks of light that vanished before touching the ground.
00:58:21This specific interaction of energies was the reason why the attack did not cause him any harm.
00:58:27Gary's hand wasn't burned, bruised, or even trembling. The silence that
00:58:34The sound that followed was deafening. The three vampire leaders stared, their eyes wide.
00:58:41They were genuinely surprised. It wasn't just that he had blocked it, but how he had done it.
00:58:48Stopping an attack by a family leader was one thing, but doing so while remaining in a fragile state
00:58:54Human form, without a single scratch, revealed a power they hadn't anticipated. Roba's gaze
00:59:01He quickly scanned the room, assessing the shifting tactical situation. He glanced past Gary, observing
00:59:09the other howlers present in the room. The atmosphere had gone from tense to lethal in a
00:59:15Instantly. The howlers were no longer just standing guard; they were ready to kill. I could see it in their
00:59:22postures, hands suspended over the weapons, muscles tense like springs, eyes fixed on the intruders with
00:59:30A predatory gaze. The moment their leader acted, everyone prepared to spring into action.
00:59:36Without hesitation. Roba felt a bead of cold sweat forming on his forehead. We brought three leaders,
00:59:43Roba thought, his mind racing. We figured if there was a problem, our combined strength would be there.
00:59:50Enough to resolve it by force if necessary. We assumed we could at least get out
00:59:57They're safe and sound. But looking at them now, if a real fight were to break out in this space...
01:00:03Closed, that would be possible. They hadn't completely underestimated Gary. After all, he was the one
01:00:11He had managed to confront his own king and survive. That feat alone demonstrated his
01:00:17force, which was why they had taken the precaution of sending three leaders instead of
01:00:23an envoy. But now, seeing how easily he nullified Roba's power, they wondered if
01:00:29Even three would be enough. Facing two alphas and a highly disciplined pack on their own turf.
01:00:35The territory was a suicide mission they hadn't signed up for. Sensing the danger
01:00:41Ailok Sanguinís, facing a precarious situation, immediately stepped forward to reduce the...
01:00:48"Tension. I apologize," Ailok said in a loud, clear voice. To everyone's surprise, the leader of the
01:00:55The thirteenth family bowed at the waist and gave Gary a deep and respectful reverence. It was a
01:01:01a gesture of submission uncommon among his kind. "You're right," Ailok continued, his head bowed.
01:01:09"We are guests in your home, we are in your city, and we should never have attacked you." It was a serious offense.
01:01:17formal attire. Gin Talon, the leader of the fourth family, quickly followed suit. "Forgive us,
01:01:25"Please," Gin said, bowing equally deeply. "This was a great folly."
01:01:32For our part, especially since we came here with the sole desire to talk, not to fight. Please,
01:01:39"Forgive us. If we had wanted to fight, we would never have asked to meet with you." It was a mistake.
01:01:47Roba was stunned by the shock of his reaction. He froze for a moment. He looked left and right,
01:01:54Seeing his companions bowing before this young werewolf, his pride screamed at him to be
01:02:00He tried to stand upright, but his logic, and Gary's murderous intent, forced him to. Reluctantly,
01:02:07He straightened his back and then bowed. "I was the one who rushed to
01:02:12"In principle," Roba admitted, straightening up but with a respectful tone. The situation took me by surprise.
01:02:19Surprise. We had heard reports that the howler monkeys had managed to defeat Lupus,
01:02:25The alpha of Ruin City. That's why it shocked me to see there was another alpha here. I thought maybe we
01:02:32had they set a trap, or that the situation was completely different. Akai pointed out, "If you
01:02:39We explained what was happening; maybe you'll understand why I acted that way. Seeing another alpha awakened my...
01:02:45"Defensive instinct." The three leaders raised their heads and looked ahead. Although their attitude
01:02:52Even though she had been replaced by a diplomat, her trust hadn't completely vanished. They apologized,
01:02:59But they were still apex predators. If they needed to fight for their lives, they were still ready.
01:03:06to do it at any time. Kai stepped forward from behind Gary and placed a hand
01:03:12He put his arm around his friend's shoulder to let him know he was okay. "I understand the shock," Kai said.
01:03:18Calmly, in a soft and controlled voice. "That still doesn't forgive your actions, but we're pragmatic."
01:03:25We don't want war either. Otherwise, it would only cause many unnecessary deaths on both sides.
01:03:32sides." Kai decided to take control of the narrative. He knew he had to explain his state without
01:03:38revealing the truth about Lupus being alive and imprisoned. "If you ask about me," Kai continued,
01:03:45"Am I a member of the howler pack, or was I? During the battle where we defeated Lupus,
01:03:51"It was I who managed to deliver the fatal blow." He paused to let the lie sink in.
01:03:58in their minds. We don't know why, but immediately afterward I experienced a change.
01:04:04I became an alpha. However, I'm very close friends with Gary. We're like brothers. I'm loyal to the Howlers because
01:04:13On top of everything. Kai held out his hands. "So I haven't created my own pack. I've stayed here."
01:04:20as proof that I don't want to fight him or challenge his leadership. I hope this clarifies the
01:04:25confusion about my presence." At that moment, Kai thought they should take advantage of the situation.
01:04:33The vampires clearly knew that Lupus had disappeared, but their intelligence was evidently
01:04:39Deficient. They didn't know the details of werewolf biology, just as the howlers didn't.
01:04:46They understood vampire politics. Kai's explanation was quite plausible. Considering that no one
01:04:52Having seen Lupus for so long, it was better that the vampires continued to believe he was dead.
01:04:59She tied up the loose end perfectly. Ailok frowned slightly, processing the
01:05:05"That's never happened before, as far as we know," Ailok said, rubbing his chin.
01:05:13"Normally, the hierarchy is strict. If a member of another pack kills the alpha, then the
01:05:20The other members of the pack should become omegas. Then they are free to mate with another alpha.
01:05:26if they wish, or to wander alone." He looked at Kai with scientific curiosity. "In time, perhaps one
01:05:34of your own kind or one of the omegas evolves into an alpha, but such an instantaneous power transfer
01:05:40"It's unheard of." "We don't understand it either," Gary chimed in, backing up Kai's story.
01:05:48effort. "But it happened. We can't say we understand everything about ourselves, werewolves."
01:05:56We're still learning our own history. I suppose you're the same way. Right? Do you know
01:06:03"All the secrets of your lineage?" Gary realized that Kai was cleverly using the
01:06:09Information they had learned from the past. Technically, this incident had already occurred.
01:06:16before. It was similar to what had happened between Jack and Steve in the stories that had
01:06:21Discovered. Although uncommon, there was a precedent for strange occurrences. Vampires
01:06:28They could have included it in their history books, even if these specific leaders didn't know it.
01:06:35The logic seemed sound enough to stop his questions. "I see." "Well,
01:06:42"There are many things we don't understand about this world," Jim said, stepping in to move the conversation forward.
01:06:49He seemed eager to get to the real reason for his visit. And that's why we're here.
01:06:56We want to talk to you about a recent incident, specifically related to the city of
01:07:02Centerfield. Chapter 1759 The Lost City, Part 1. Listen for the specific name of the city to the
01:07:11The fact that the group was preparing to head to Centerfield certainly piqued their interest. The coincidence
01:07:18It was too obvious to ignore, and it immediately brought them a sobering reflection.
01:07:24Vampires were undisputed experts at gathering information. They had eyes and ears in
01:07:31the shadows where the howlers couldn't yet reach. So it was very likely that these three
01:07:37Family leaders knew much more about the lockdown and chaos in Centerfield than they did
01:07:42themselves. This tense confrontation was not just a threat. It was an exceptional opportunity to
01:07:49try to find out more about what was really happening there. "Reports have come in,"
01:07:54Aylock said in a grave voice, breaking the brief silence.
01:07:59Reports from across the country of furry creatures ambushing and killing civilians, as well as hunting and
01:08:05actively killing disturbed individuals. He paused, letting the weight of the casualties settle in.
01:08:11air before delivering the next blow. Most witness reports and subsequent analyses
01:08:18They claim they're altered to look like wolves. Or at least something very similar. So I'm sure
01:08:26who can guess why we're here in their living room today. A drop of cold sweat trickled down his cheek.
01:08:32face
01:08:33Kai. He maintained a serene expression, but his mind was racing. He was desperately trying
01:08:40Thinking about how to answer everything without revealing too much, but without seeming like a liar. This
01:08:46The setting, the exposure, the mass casualties, the attention of the ruling powers, was its main
01:08:53Concern arose when Unsoku began orchestrating all this chaos. "I'll give you more details so you have
01:09:00"A clearer idea of the gravity of the situation," Jin added, stepping forward. The attacks
01:09:06Scattered across the country, they were beginning to become quite serious. The frequency was increasing and the
01:09:12The brutality intensified. Jin's gaze hardened. A large number of innocent civilians
01:09:20They were dying in the crossfire. Since the delicate balance of the hidden world was threatened, we decided
01:09:26intervene. We send teams of our own people to solve the problem. Our teams
01:09:33They were quite successful in stopping the creatures in several places, but many of us too
01:09:39We died trying. These creatures aren't weak. Although Gary knew in his heart that he didn't
01:09:46was personally responsible for those specific attacks, hearing that the vampires had
01:09:51dead trying to stop them, and having these leaders confront them like that, made him feel a
01:09:57A slight, unavoidable pang of guilt. Perhaps it was simply due to his biological relationship with
01:10:03These killer creatures are somehow fundamentally burdened. Or perhaps with a heavier burden. The guilt for not having
01:10:11were able to stop Unzoku before his plans escalated to this bloody, nationwide level.
01:10:17Through our meetings, we were able to confirm some key things, Jin continued.
01:10:23scanning the howlers. They are, indeed, werewolves. However,
01:10:30They are a kind of mutated and corrupted werewolf that we have never seen in our long lives.
01:10:36They're different. He crossed his arms. For now, as far as we know, we only know of two packs.
01:10:45Considering how you recently defeated Lupus, we initially thought they might be werewolves.
01:10:51Or mega-renegades from the pack who had lost their minds without an alpha. Or perhaps even something that
01:10:57"You may have planned it yourselves," Roba interjected, his voice laced with persistent suspicion.
01:11:03A covert way to expand their territory and eliminate rivals. However, after investigating
01:11:10"More thoroughly, we believe that might not be the case," Jin said, gently interrupting Roba.
01:11:17In Jin's mind, the words of one person in particular echoed. Dapne. Thanks to her perceptiveness,
01:11:25The current administration had a different opinion. We have concluded that the howler monkeys
01:11:31They have no logical reason to be behind this senseless massacre, and neither does our king.
01:11:37He believes it.
01:11:38Jean Moreau Fajmenti Aguirre.
01:11:40But, as you said before, nobody wants a war. But werewolves are a problem.
01:11:46intrinsically linked to you. Whether from your pack or not, you are now the alphas. You must assume the
01:11:55They bear some responsibility for their own. They can't turn a blind eye. He gestured towards
01:12:01himself and toward other leaders. That's exactly the same dynamic between us and
01:12:08Vampires. Our races have an excessive impact on human society, as well as on each other.
01:12:14That uncontrolled impact is what has forced us to get involved, and that is why we have come together
01:12:21In person. We can no longer ignore it.
01:12:25Jean lowered his hands and his tone became demanding.
01:12:28So, will you tell us the truth? Do you have any idea what's going on and who these new people are?
01:12:34Werewolves? The group didn't respond immediately. The silence lingered, thick and uncomfortable.
01:12:42because everyone was internally debating what the best way to answer the question was.
01:12:46How much of the situation should they reveal? How much of ancient history should they expose? But they knew one
01:12:53thing. The longer they remained silent, the more incredibly guilty they seemed, as if
01:13:01They were simply taking the time to fabricate a convenient lie.
01:13:05"Don't you find it strange?" Gary finally said, speaking first and drawing all the attention to himself.
01:13:12He looked at the three ancient beings. Doesn't it seem strange to you that the entire werewolf race has
01:13:19A biological system where two alphas are practically forced to confront each other? What two
01:13:25Groups of werewolves, who should be related, are instinctively driven to kill each other and
01:13:31Attack each other until only one remains? The twisted reasoning behind your actions,
01:13:37"Barbaric beasts, it's not something we can understand," Roba murmured softly, turning his head slightly.
01:13:44head. He had whispered it, but it should have been perfectly clear to everyone in
01:13:50The room would have easily heard it due to their extremely sensitive hearing. Gary ignored the insult.
01:13:57And he continued. “What I’m saying is that this matter is just as serious for you as it is for us,” Gary replied.
01:14:04With a firm and unwavering voice, we hate this as much as you do. We will do everything we can to stop it.
01:14:11and stop these corrupt werewolves. Gary paused for a moment and took a deep breath. He was about to
01:14:18of crossing a point of no return. And what I say next may sound crazy, but it's the
01:14:24"Truth," Gary said, his eyes darkening. "There's something else out there. Something that's very..."
01:14:32Above us, the alphas. The vampire leaders narrowed their eyes and listened.
01:14:39Sincerely. It's something that does everything possible to force us to fight against each other. In many
01:14:46He's actively trying to eliminate us. And right now, that's probably what he's trying to do with these attacks.
01:14:53It's inciting them. He wants you to do his dirty work and exterminate us for it. Gary took a step toward
01:15:00front. However, we cannot prove 100% with conclusive evidence that these werewolves
01:15:07The mutations in Centrefield are his doing. He left the name on his tongue before letting it out. But this thing,
01:15:15This ancestral being that is above us, a person we call a soku, we know that we
01:15:21He has his sights set on her. And we have very good reasons to believe he could be the person behind it all.
01:15:27This national panic. In fact, we're quite safe. Gary looked at the three leaders, waiting
01:15:36a spark of recognition. And if he's the one pulling the strings, then perhaps there's a figure there.
01:15:42outside of the one we both want to get rid of. It was an incredibly risky move for Gary.
01:15:49She knew a terrifying fact based on the story they had uncovered. In the distant past,
01:15:54The vampires and a soku had collaborated. There was always the grim possibility that they would return.
01:16:01to collaborate at that moment, and Gary had just handed his enemy all his cards. But
01:16:07Gary had decided to take the risk anyway. Why come here? Why do things the other way?
01:16:13Had vampires done this in the past, just to avoid their mistakes? I had to trust that
01:16:19Times had changed. He decided to believe in people like Blackjack and allies like Edvard.
01:16:25That there were others who wanted the same thing as he did. Chapter 1760 The Lost City, Part 2.
01:16:33You have a huge and far-reaching information network. Right? Kai asked.
01:16:40squinting as he looked directly at the three ancient beings.
01:16:44They have eyes and ears in places we can't even reach. So,
01:16:50Shouldn't they have heard of him at least once? They must have known his name. Or at least
01:16:57They had an idea that a figure like this operated in the shadows. Upon hearing this, Roba and Ailok turned
01:17:04She slowly turned her head to look at Jin. The subtle change in her body language said it all. She seemed
01:17:11as if certain high-level information were strictly compartmentalized, reserved exclusively
01:17:17to the inner circle of specific families. Judging by appearances, the fourth family
01:17:23He had access to the most in-depth information. We don't have anything concrete, Jin replied calmly and
01:17:30measured. We only have fragments. But we've had our guesses about the possibility
01:17:37that such an ancient entity exists. Jin stepped forward with a serious expression. If what
01:17:44You say it's the absolute truth, nothing so direct involving this figure has ever happened before.
01:17:50They would have had to remain hidden for hundreds of years, operating with such discretion.
01:17:56that we never thought of any major problems. The others in the room could easily guess.
01:18:02Why? Most likely, a soku would have been incredibly weak for centuries. He needed
01:18:09a very long time to gather enough power and influence to accomplish what
01:18:14He was doing it. He had needed time to orchestrate his grand plan. Trying to put Lupus
01:18:20against her, manipulating the events that led Kaya to become an alpha, and now,
01:18:26to successfully create these mutant werewolf monsters. Furthermore, the global situation of men
01:18:33The wolf had never been so chaotic or public, which meant that circumstances finally
01:18:39They forced a soku out of the shadows as well. "Let me repeat that, and I want you to listen carefully."
01:18:45"Attention," Roba exclaimed, lowering his voice to a dangerous and threatening tone. "Think about how it works
01:18:52our society." If rogue vampires were to attack civilians in the open, hunting on their own without
01:18:59with no sense of order or secrecy, we would assume it as our absolute responsibility to intervene and
01:19:05"Eradicate them. We watch out for each other." Roba took another step closer to Gary, his red aura looming.
01:19:13beating weakly. "You can blame this soku all you want, but in the end,
01:19:20It's your race. It's your nature that acts this way, tearing at flesh and bone. If you can't control it
01:19:28"To the beasts under your banner, then we will have to impose our control upon you." "And I believe
01:19:34"That's enough preaching for today," Ailok interrupted, raising a hand. His tone was
01:19:40Light, but with an underlying nuance. "Remember that Gary is a young leader. They've put him in this position."
01:19:47It was set rather hastily, and the world is changing rapidly. The important thing now is that
01:19:54"Let's try to sort this mess out together." "No." Roba seemed to desperately want to say something else.
01:20:02He clenched his jaw tightly, but the wide, knowing smile that Ailok drew on his face...
01:20:07He clicked his tongue in annoyance and stepped back. "Of course," Gary replied, looking at the three of them.
01:20:14leaders to ensure the immediate threat had passed. "We planned to do everything possible
01:20:21to stop Unzoku and clean up this mess, even before you got involved.
01:20:26"Can you tell us more about Centrefield?" Kai asked, taking the opportunity to gather information.
01:20:33crucial information. "He said the biggest problem is located there. Is there a specific reason for
01:20:41"What about that? And what about the report that just came in saying the whole city is under lockdown?"
01:20:47“That lockdown was our doing,” Jim replied matter-of-factly. “The casual admission led to
01:20:54Chills in the cages. We have the infrastructure to control the situation in
01:20:59“Different areas of the country,” Jim continued. “We can suppress the media, divert attention, and ensure
01:21:07that the general public doesn't really know what's happening in the most affected outbreak areas
01:21:12small. But Centrefield, Centrefield is too badly affected. For now, it's better than the
01:21:19"The outside world has no idea what's going on within its borders." Jim's expression
01:21:25His expression darkened, and a strange look of resignation crossed his timeless features. "We had sent
01:21:32Elite operational teams are being deployed to all affected cities to resolve the problem. The team
01:21:39The group sent to Centrefield was completely annihilated, exterminated to the last man. He paused
01:21:46to come to terms with the gravity of the loss. After losing contact, I decided to go to the outskirts myself.
01:21:52from Centrefield to try and find out what was going on. From what I could see, Centrefield has
01:21:58It had practically become an apocalyptic city. "How bad is it?" Gary asked, his voice rising.
01:22:06Barely a whisper. "There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of these corrupt werewolves roaming the streets."
01:22:13"of the city," Jim revealed. "We don't even know how many citizens are still alive at this point."
01:22:19If there are any. The military-grade lockdown exists to prevent panic from spreading.
01:22:25throughout the country and to prevent the situation from worsening by containing these beasts." Gary and Kai
01:22:32They looked instinctively, with a shared fear. Their minds instantly turned to Midback and the
01:22:39attack force. What had happened to them? Had they been overwhelmed and become these
01:22:45Demented werewolves? Or were they hiding, trapped in a ruined city due to the
01:22:51How many citizens were converted? They were still registered as alive in the herd system.
01:22:57This gave Gary a desperate hope, but guilt consumed him. Centrefield was the
01:23:04The city he had promised to protect. It was the city for which Don had given his life. And now,
01:23:10It had disappeared, overrun by monsters. Besides the overwhelming emotional burden, the howlers
01:23:18They gradually revealed the terrifying extent of the vampires' influence. The power to block
01:23:23unilaterally a large city, block roads and completely block signals
01:23:29Telephone, internet, and satellite technologies were seen as a divine power over human society. This made
01:23:36that Gary and Kai realized that perhaps their well-deserved position as kings of the underworld wasn't
01:23:41More than just a children's game in the eyes of these old families. There was something else strange that we also had to...
01:23:48"Reporting something that doesn't fit the pattern," Gene said, drawing their attention. Across the country,
01:23:55Where these isolated incidents occurred, mutilated corpses of civilians were found
01:24:00normal humans. But, as for the altered ones, there were multiple cases of altered individuals who simply
01:24:08They disappeared without a trace. No bodies, no traces of blood.
01:24:13Gene Moreau spoke directly to Gary. I suppose you don't know why. Do you? Gary frowned.
01:24:21He frowned and slowly shook his head. We werewolves can grow stronger by eating beasts.
01:24:27and altered, Gary explained, recalling his own system and instincts. So, if anything, there would have been
01:24:35I thought it would be just the opposite. I expected them to devour the agitated ones on the spot to win.
01:24:41power, not that they were taken alive to another place. Perhaps they are capturing them and taking them to jealousy for
01:24:48"Feed Unsoku, to help him increase his strength," Inu added from the back of the room.
01:24:54offering a grim theory. If this Unsoku is even stronger than you alphas,
