Chapter 129: Mages of the Tower (7)
JC7gykjBecause of their characteristic breeding speed and omnivorous nature, Fang Boars were one of the Grade 4 demonic beasts that required the most maintenance.ld1ODN
sM2rThe only reason they weren’t fully eradicated despite being the number one cause of farmland damage was because finding their nests that were usually hidden at various areas of the mountain was by no means an easy task.UvChnEO
og1WyTBut during the breeding season, those that lost in the competition for food tended to leave the mountain in search of things to eat, and defeating them was the role of the guardian academy students.w6SC
OeRThis year shouldn’t be very different from how it was last year – until just 5 minutes ago, that was the impression that Professor Orgen had been under.NhN
6dmzk“P, Professor! There are way too many Fang Boars!”MLvUyHA
oIlwytt“Everyone. Create a formation around me! Fight together! Protect those around you!”83Gkh
ojbtProfessor Orgen used his weapon to bisect the Fang Boars pouncing at his students.8LjbmP
O6o45Y“Is everyone here? Let me call your names out! Student Randolf!”wm0M
hAcjcjn“Yes! I’m here!”j6lm5Z
T0uAHOne by one, he called the names of the 22 students but noticed there were some missing.V06VA
4QD8eq3“Where’s Student Ren and Student Ron!”bENuk
TSu“I, I’m not sure!”gnK6
TpzaI“I saw them down there before!”fPS
t5i6It was too far.OXq4VE
oDfKwBWAlthough Professor Orgen had the power to break through the group of Fang Boars by himself, the problem was the kids that would be left behind during the process. It might have been alright if these were 2nd year students, but it was seriously questionable whether the freshmen students that had just entered the Academy would be able to last through by themselves this without panicking or not.BNgW
wHVyRIn that case…0HAgz
KKS2LT“We will slowly make our way there! Mages, stand in the middle, and knights – protect the front and the back! They’re nothing but Grade 4 beasts! Calm yourselves down and we can definitely stand our ground against them!”4uNtWB
BxpumHe couldn’t discard any of his students. Orgen took the lead while comforting the group of freshmen kids following him from behind.ng0qC
Rr45“F, follow professor!”xANP8qG
YEo“Fang Boars are nothing! Just stab them once and they’ll be dead!”QL9fsb
77SfdWhat was fortunate at the very least was that the freshmen students had decent weapons. Normally, most of the new students tended to use low-grade weapons until they could afford a better one, but thanks to one generous senior, all of them had at least a medium-grade weapon.aHB
bg8vGood weapons meant an easier time cutting through the flesh of demonic beasts, and despite the sloppy weapon masteries of the new students, the demons were all cut up to pieces with relative ease.gOok
EIYBN“Nice! We are getting there…!”lO7
QyBWn“No you’re… not!”PgV
7yZaLIt was when Orgen was dicing through the Fang Boars with his ax, that cursed arrows started falling towards him.Yr5jc
5mTFn“Magic…?!”97ewv9I
cArW0Orgen deflected the arrows with his ax. He managed to block all the arrows which were only low-grade spells, but his face didn’t look too good due to the appearance of an enemy force.Y7S
A95e“Mages…”ep9b
2sJpywcBy the time he noticed it, gloomy-looking people wearing big robes were surrounding him and the freshmen students.M1Reg
ivIb“Professor! The Fang Boars aren’t attacking the mages!”aOJxE
pK3GT“…I knew it. So you were the ones behind this, huh.”MUL
0wG8dPThe black mages were surrounding them with hundreds of Fang Boars waiting behind. It was clear where they were from without even needing to ask it.VTKx
VZB“Why are the mages of the Tower attacking us? This is clearly a strict violation of the treaty!”95EDVU
czcMH8“…”jwH
0iuGy6QThe mages were completely silent in response, rendering every attempted conversation meaningless.m2AT
TxxTCq‘What exactly is their goal?’oKc
PynyKbUSwallowing the unresolvable doubt inside, Professor Orgen tightly held onto his ax.C05e2
b0Q4h………wqn
l2a0……B7Q1f
bbGQg…KtIJvJ
vdqWXmThere were way too many of them.D77emBL
oABaBoars were on every side. Jumping around left and right, the wolf siblings had already bashed up dozens of boars to death.UNkVbM
NwRjn4a“Haak, haa… t, there’s too many…”Qsh0
SJcRg“Do you want… water?”a89edV
bujIi“No. You drink it, Ren.”IwV
87kUw94Due to overworking themselves because of the constant streak of fights, the siblings had to gasp for breath as they glanced around their surroundings. The entire mountain range was filled with the death throes of pigs and the smell of rotten blood.6cYa
qWGjKM“Do you think the professor and the other kids are alright?”vy5
An5BYE0“…Now’s not the time to worry about them.”sAOXV
XVLThe two of them were the ones in the most precarious situation right now.RE2CD2V
s5VB8“This is… weird. The Fang Boars smell off…”D5zR4Z
GfaQCaL“Right? Same. It feels like my nose is about to rot away.”1ohDxYK
jbXkiThanks to their superior sense of smell, the wolf siblings were able to sense the smell of rotten flesh from the corpses of the Fang Boars. That was strange, considering how it had only been a few minutes since their death.HDQhNVp
E8cVx“For now… Let’s head down. Let’s run as fast as we can and ask for—”gcZ
Xur“We can’t let you do that.”mdK
ybahgr0Suddenly, a group appeared from the woods and stopped the siblings in their path. They were the black mages of the Tower – the disciples of Morushtan including Professor Arkai.GU9NJ
EJ2zGRV“Y, you are…!”LCjs
jRdDg3L“Tower of Mages… Why?”HRFi6n
aWYqsNsRen and Ron couldn’t hide their astonishment but meanwhile, Arkai gave a wicked grin as he gazed at the two.goDPOjk
tFY4uvD“Huhu. A vampire elder certainly is very valuable… but golden wolves are not much different.”2EOw4
jWFIt all started when Morushtan came across the siblings by chance.kwIUR1
z9DHCKGolden wolves – the byproduct of a miraculous and coincidental process of atavism. They were extremely valuable even when compared to a vampire elder.Rbr
5hOAccording to the original storyline, the siblings were supposed to be following Dun Scaith and therefore, Marie Dunareff was supposed to be the only precious test subject for them to acquire.aJf4
K3djJXTBut in this iteration, because the Tower of Mages didn’t have either of them, it was therefore by no means strange for them to set their eyes on the young and immature golden wolves, instead of the powerful Unique Grade vampire.0GC05
G0FEL“Follow us obediently. Otherwise, I will tear your limbs out and drag you along the ground.”1NvYP
43jDHearing Arkai’s threat, the siblings realized what they were after.Obc
HomRsIt reminded them of how they were almost sold to the Tower of Mages back when they were young and got caught by one of the gangs.l6et
Z9C9h“Ren.”353
Jdh“…I know.”gizXeLC
Al5HUUsing beastification, the two of them turned into beasts, readying themselves for the upcoming fight.0CN79
uejoD2“Fools. How dare you filthy beasts try to stand against magic?”gYvvkLy
BIKgeAs if they were laughable, Arkai snickered while gesturing to his underlings. With that as the signal, the black mages started taking out some bones from their clothes.gDlpKw
Oah1y“You will regret opposing the great Professor Arkai.”JFFI
AXenA bunch of bones were scattered on the ground and soon, Arkai took out a large skull that appeared like the skull of a wolf.tcz41wt
yso8Tv5“Heed the call of your master, you lowly beast.”6JAT7Sc
nb7Arkai commanded as the bones started gathering into one to form a shape. One by one, the bones came together and fitted themselves in their rightful joints.1kinDn4
qInfP3That wasn’t the end.FPmrYD
SCNp9oS– Kweeeeeekk!bcK6vrz
45h4The Fang Boars started to howl and struggle. Despite being dead and raised back to life in the form of an undead, the appearance of the new monster that sucked in all the nearby bones stimulated their innate feelings of fear.yx3dn
3Qa71mkTheir instincts screamed out to them, that they would change altogether… if they were to be sucked into that vortex.V4RO
fbqZiJE– Kueeeeek!Nig4
j8l2I– Kueek! Kuiiiik!3HsTS9
RVhoA desperate scream echoed in harmony as their voices started to tremble the entire mountain range, but their struggles were in vain.tmVBfZk
WcqluguThe flesh and blood of the Fang Boars were crushed and broken, and added up to become a condensed piece of flesh. And soon, after being sucked in towards the assembly of bones, those chunks of flesh and blood pasted themselves on the bones to make up the flesh of a new organism.4DQ
Lm1H77rThe Black Cult based their studies on black magic. They mocked life, induced artificial union and their ultimate goal was to defy death by repeating that process. There was no such thing as respect for life nor taboos that couldn’t be broken. The thing in front of the eyes of the siblings was the result of that wicked path of magic.kma
6dCpvK“Grrrrh…”GgOwbn
Jy0WNfThe organism that was made by the assembly of bones and the flesh of Fang Boars gave off a strange howl.yH28ttj
kKs“U, ugh…”yyMz
LvuDSeeing the finished form of that creature, the siblings were lost for words. It was because it appeared just like them – to be exact, it looked like their fully beastified form.N59k
c2INBZc“…A werewolf?”0YP
4alGHH0“That is so. This is the strongest undead I have created using the bones and flesh of your species – the best masterpieces I have ever made!”0tAsx
XP70rALA werewolf chimera.FQhyk
HNn8tPdA combined monster made not with the bones of a human, but with the bones of a pure-blooded werewolf and the flesh of Fang Boars.IsH
7H9WM—!!8sg58
u6YphAlong with a horrifying roar, the werewolf chimera charged towards them. The mighty charge as it kicked off the ground was so menacing that the siblings had to throw themselves away in fright.xtdwIz
30J– Kwang!5lJdl
mQx5LIt was a narrow miss. The old tree that looked more than a century old was shredded to pieces after one charge from the werewolf, and the debris flew everywhere like a ball hit by a bat.ika7nP
pjAi6“What…”TKpW
4JoDkrvThe sheer destructive force of the chimera completely went against their common sense. All they could do was watch the forest be destroyed by the debris of the shattered tree.ILU
eNT9“Huhuhu, surprised? It must be too hard for mere animals to comprehend how astounding this is. This is the essence of life magic!”4QUNgq
AuAH1With a sneer, Arkai ridiculed the dumbfounded siblings and started rambling on about his achievement.qHf
Qbf2TN“Muscles are the foundation of strength! The reason those stupid knights have inhumane destructiveness is because the density of their muscles can reach a hundred times the density of normal people!1zrCHNd
Wi0nC8N“That is why I looked into the research to increase the muscle density of an organism! Each muscle tissue might be weaker than that of a stupid knight, but the amount is amplified exponentially as they increase in numbers!bJWE
oZkl“You beasts will never be able to stand against my perfect chimera…!”b2TG
dR5TuUWhile Arkai was explaining his feat, the siblings whispered to themselves.FJjW
SCO“…Ren. What does that mean?”UGoq
840“…I don’t know either.”yytN
7g2sTdLeaving the incomprehensible explanation behind, it was still undeniable that that werewolf chimera was exceptionally powerful.K80VZAq
QkMqn“Grrrhaaaaaa…!”PMq
1QwPIyLetting out a deafening roar, the werewolf smashed down with its heavy arm. Ren used her beastified arm to block the attack.pvER
p1tPl“Uhk…!”JsQ
hH5UnbSIt was heavy. Just like Arkai said, the weight of the werewolf made by combining several dozens of Fang Boars was unbearably heavy.Uj6xY
0AFzE“Ren!”ETGzfzY
H57e3ffThe punch thrown by the young wolf boy in an attempt to help his sister was easily blocked by the werewolf.ruZ9F
zoWPh4“Uhk…!”VynO7T
0eynqIt felt like he was hitting a piece of rock. Ron was stronger than Korin in terms of physical strength, so he was fairly shocked by the difference in their strength.y1CZ
v4Ter3j“Uaht…?!”Rsjf
u7JdJQ9Suddenly, the werewolf pulled Ron in by the hand and as a result, the boy ended up crashing into his sister.RKq2
pViRIII“Uhhk…!”yUr
4kcftPwThe mind-numbing shock of the crash dazed them for a second but Ren quickly came to herself and made a quick call.r9pQdq
WnRXC“B, beastify! Right now!”HbJhbHc
vJ7Simultaneously, the two of them shifted themselves into the form of golden wolves.3cp1zP
dtobAfter becoming large wolves, the two of them tried to escape from the grasp of the werewolf. Full beastification like this was the proof of immaturity for demi-humans, but it was helpful right now in that it amplified their strength by severalfold.FffjeE
YRno4HtThe two golden wolves were going to escape just like that but…CAK
6Fk7qY“…?!”7Rfbl
gUuDNBy the time they noticed it, the werewolf was already right behind them swinging its arm down. The sharp claws of the monster ripped past Ren’s sides.mep
Lb67gW6[Uhk…!?]zGtIOm2
bnFem[Ren…!]A1Z738
nEBMX0Flop! Ren rolled across the ground. Ron tried to run towards his sister, but without letting him do that, the werewolf did a roundhouse kick to Ron on his side.DnB98EA
Q6m[Kuhk…!]JB4N
nwLK7slHe flew off and crashed into an ancient tree, and fell on the ground along with the shattered barks of the tree.XobJuqA
ceYpNb[Haa… haa…!]W7bnEW
i91The two golden wolves despaired at the might of the werewolf. The werewolf chimera was way ahead of them in both speed and strength. Their chance of victory looked extremely slim and it made them feel like they were before an unbeatable foe.l5ewH
spTILD[Strength isn’t the only factor deciding the victor.]Xys7P
CmbLTJrRight when they were about to give up, a voice echoed in their ears. They remembered the voice of a man, who self-deprecatingly called himself a weak knight who had to face innately powerful foes.VV78DO
qRf[But I will still beat them in a real fight.]9EvNbFr
HSc9cZWhat they recalled next was his paradoxical declaration as well as explanation, that a fight was different from a Maths equation with had a clear and unchanging answer.WlHs5b
Zx5xFight wisely. Consider the weakness, compatibility and psychology of the enemy. Add all of them together to aim at the weaknesses of the enemy.XgM8kL
3S8KVjt[Ren…]P8L
KaE[I know.]7oQ4M
Zy3IzVThat was what they needed right now.iBStMXU
Ka6A frontal fight was not what they were supposed to do – they had to identify the weaknesses of their enemy and wait for the right timing.6bGCa
B1LJT“About time to end it. Suppress the beasts.”t7GKcE6
o4iPP“Grrrrhaaahh…!”3s3Uf
AHUHeeding Arkai’s command, the werewolf chimera became even more menacing as it jumped at them. The explosive burst of speed that came from its extra-dense muscles allowed the werewolf to pounce rapidly at the siblings, who refused to fight a frontal battle.gvj
rqOwThey, who had always been fighting by relying on their physical capabilities, started avoiding a bout of strength and focused on dodging for the first time.wrjUH
pqJ‘So fast!’BGM
0nsoub‘It’s strong!’Yi1GH
QxgjNhKA punch shattered each of the trees, and its legs allowed the monster to cover ten meters with one jump in the blink of an eye. Seeing the bestial and instinctive movements of the monster, the siblings realized that this was what they used to fight like.wCbg11n
vKqe[Your attacks are too honest and linear. Add in some irregular attacks and feints.]L0MN3h
pdv[Kyaaah…!]4dB0
vZmhpRen threw herself forward along with a shout. Meanwhile, Ron went and bit the arm of the monster that was trying to smash down at his sister from outside her vision.eH9
VZT– Kajik!Jq26xH
g9XWhile Ron was holding the arm back, Ren crunched at one of the legs of the monster… at the Achilles tendon of the werewolf.DZfoU
uzZZb“Grrrahhh…!”MMJ6S
70gc1fThe werewolf twisted its body with its overwhelming might and flung the two wolves away from its body, but in the mouths of the wolves were chunks of the werewolf’s flesh.xyND
EeaqdUc[Ptui…!]1TY
1mGxx19The golden wolves spitted out the flesh from their mouth, as the chimera dashed at the siblings with a limp.j1iyM
L8ovqODespite the immense power of its body and despite not feeling any pain, the torn-out pieces of flesh and muscles of the monster still managed to affect its speed.wQrV5
pO5M9qpStubbornly, the siblings hung onto its weakness.HJnY
ihcRen attacked first, while Ron crunched at its vitals.x4NBcwz
QIYWithout getting greedy, they attacked the chimera and weakened it slowly but surely. Due to their wise hunt, the werewolf chimera slowly reached its limit.vTm
1j6K[This is the end…!]tW6CqoE
WHghhZ6That was when the perfect opportunity came to them. Right when the wolves were about to jump at the werewolf, who was now full of gaps in defence due to the accumulation of wounds…up0qlli
C5Bhs8[Kuhk…?!]KMASH
ZVjLP7[Huuk…?!]J9Y3
R8lThe siblings fell at the same time. There was an incomprehensible pain in their stomach, making them feel like their guts were about to be torn to pieces.PxMEkw
Lb6“Huhuhu. You stupid animals.”0ygB
o5RKzv1Leisurely, the black mages started walking to the siblings who threw up a mouthful of black blood in pain.MTSv
Mn17t“What…”f7Ip
jtp6XTrampling on Ren’s head, who no longer had the power to maintain her beastification and returned to her normal self, Arkai laughed like a madman.EwxlPOA
aOKYmY“The flesh of the chimera was poison itself. Without even knowing that, you really loved chewing on that didn’t you?”SAnw
NKXPQh“Get… away from Ren!!”vT8l
rN1Ron screamed out in agony, but that only helped stimulate the sadistic nature of Arkai.27EZ
BMD“Huhu. Two golden wolves, huh… Master will be glad to see this.”1Dnx
wfRSB“Don’t… make me laugh. Your master… will be arrested…”5lN6
P9wIn response to Ren’s agonized attempt to talk back, Arkai put more weight to his foot and trampled on her head even more.IRN
xj4X“You fool. Do you think the paladins of the New Faith will be able to stop Master? He will escape the prison with no problem when he gets the signal from us.”xLo3z
A7Cg“Ughh…”8nemvg
5m1EJj“I will skin you guys alive, and preserve your brains in formaldehyde. All your bones and flesh will be used for the advancement of magic. Kuhahahaha…!”M6kpeL
UzqVFlz“Rennn…”ebQ2x
WYv98B0“Cough…!”FHe
frNilRon crawled across the ground, towards Ren who was still coughing out black blood. His twin sister was in danger – she, his mean yet kind sister, who always prioritized him when she found something to eat in the garbage bins of the slums, was coughing while being trampled by the black mage.IjrYG
m5vvvmI have to protect her. I must protect her.l8oL1Pd
JNip[Ren wants to protect Ron, and Ron wants to protect Ren, right?]NPjE
5Tz[Yes! I will protect Ren!]0dC9
ICtzHfwThe pledge he made before had come out naturally, but it wasn’t something he said with a light heart. He wanted to protect his twin sister who had been with him ever since being born on the same day. She was like the other half of his very existence.qk7SpAb
Zfd9t7M“What…?!”rWnHH
PWKdgBA black mage that was about to bind him with chains stepped back after seeing golden light suddenly emanating out from Ron.28YASL
8IqIBeastmen tended to grow physically alongside their mental growth.Vi1KVm
vou6Most of them grew through social education where they grew both intellectually and rationally but… it also applied to situations like this where young beasts had no choice but to get stronger to face the harsh trials of life.EwVFhmJ
sRN5MbGSometimes, becoming an adult was not a choice but a requirement to not falter before the cold and merciless tornado of hardships.WFkwrGv
6R73ZgIt was a sad way to grow, but was one that was very much required for the current Ron.Wye
Mg1ShdW“Haah, haah…!”8mk
Gyr38Hy“R, Ron?”cVYYjH
zsbjTVSuddenly, his muscles and bones started to develop. It was a small change at the level of a boy becoming a young man, but it happened at a rapid speed in real time. Seeing the maturer form of her twin brother who had always been feeble and naive, Ren couldn’t help but feel confused.gJQxsy
taN“Hoh… What a rare and precious sight. To think I would have the chance to look at the growth of a beastman in real time.”KIbCquc
z3PArkai was still carefree because his secret weapon was still alive and well.EjhHZNm
akS“Make him kneel. Blow away one of his legs if you must.”qFLL2
ounvPvC“Grrrh…!”YBF6x
efNiRl7In response to his command, the werewolf chimera, which had already finished regenerating all of its wounds, started walking up to the young boy.P0Cu47C
B7qnO7wThe sudden growth of the golden wolf was a surprise, but on Arkai’s side was the synthetic monster and essence of black magic. It was by no means weaker than the golden wolf.YNX
i7H3HGxThe werewolf chimera, which was at least 10 times stronger compared to other adult werewolves, struck the boy at a shocking speed.eCSrUqe
kUjk13– Kung!3MrxQ
srTg“Ron…!”EwtXfS5
m1RQNU3Ren cried out but her scream soon turned into that of doubt. That change applied to everyone in the area.1yCO
qEp“What is going on?”6NNdWI
dCK“Grrrrh…”GJc56Ch
IEUIGEThe chimera howled, not from the heat of the battle but from confusion. It was because the young wolf, which used to be nothing compared to its might, was grabbing onto its arm and crushing it.Ivh3
9HUr“W, what…!”73Dc
mLyZOIt was evident that the monster was being pushed back. Anyone seeing this would say the same thing, and the absurd turn of events made Arkai open his eyes wide in shock.gbla
wRwHe just couldn’t understand it, but understandably, the awakening of the royal blood from a miraculous process of atavism, was too old of a glorious past for a human that was barely 50 to understand.52xiwm
XKrw3“Die…!”iveTxBq
oiLRon pulled his arm back like the string of a bow before releasing it at the werewolf. The chimera blocked the simple linear punch, but the sharp claws of the wolf pierced through its hand.U6j3b1
HIZAS9That much was not a big deal, because as an undead, the chimera was immune to pain in the first place. But what happened next was definitely problematic.0ESQ
jGs9BSd“Garrrh?”9lHf
Ja9Ron’s claws that pierced through the monster’s hand were drawing closer and closer. Despite the werewolf grabbing onto Ron’s hand and trying to push it away from itself, Ron was like an immovable fortress that was impossible to push back.WhmxMgQ
QkX6X2– Kugigigigik!DvsN
yWc1a8HDesperately, the werewolf tried to push him back but Ron persistently pushed through. In the end, his claws stabbed through the hand and went all the way in through its neck.6FGm
2WEEtzJ“Grrrk?!”qOH
64pPATYBefore long, the claws sliced apart the monster’s vocal cords, which was then followed by the merciless golden claws decapitating the werewolf.vpa4N33
7Yb8ynK“Huhh?”ZGAw0
AmwWhile the black mages were confused by the head of the werewolf suddenly rolling towards them, Ron immediately jumped into the fray.0vP
GtjhB“Uaahkk…!”H7Fm
MnLVk“P, Professor Arkai!”nPPY
qtmYsThe rampaging claws of the golden wolf shredded the black mages to pieces. They commanded the undead Fang Boars under their command to march at him, but those failed to buy them even a second.WwhZkmo
ayDDja“Damn it! This accursed beast…!”232o0A4
SEHCp4lIt was humiliating.w7In
BB7WD0dCreating and controlling that enormous familiar had required him to put in a countless number of spells of obedience and mana, so seeing it lose to a young and immature beast was a great hit to his pride.Tn8
sQfSUO“Die…!”KXk
bDd6After slicing apart all the black mages around him, Ron was about to sprint towards Arkai but…Qr9F
LZpT“Stop! Unless you want your sister to die in agony!”2N8XEpE
ly9iqPulling Ren up by the hair, Arkai threatened him which forced Ron to halt his feet.Oi5s
cLFv“I don’t know how you managed to overcome the poison, but it seems like a different story for your sister. The venom flowing through the flesh of a chimera is incurable without a specific antidote!”HIQgW
5Gf65rz“You… coward!”tFaxCLG
Sgwn9J“Huhu. This is what we call human wisdom. How dare a mere beast try to judge me…?!”kEAwf
wuWArkai, who had been using Ren as a shield in fear of Ron running in at him, became triumphant after seeing him halt his feet.aUovExQ
2MShT5m“How dare a beast look straight into the eyes of a sage walking down the path of magic? Get on your knees! That is the rightful line of sight between a sage and a beast!”Xfv0
r4J4He shouted, shameless, as if he didn’t find his current actions embarrassing in the slightest. Instead, as if he was embarrassed by the fact that he had been scared of Ron for even a second, he threw his sister on the ground and constantly trampled on her.CreZW
brKyOzJ“You beast! How dare you! Try to! Fight me!”SJjk2I
IqC“Uhkk…!”yp0sf
vR3DPea“S, stop!”EOR0V
4m0URon had no way of retaliating against the old mage as he continued trampling on his sister who was heavily gasping for breath.XNEN
Rm4“Stop… Please stop…!”02NCLVP
q5qAlthough he had overcome the poison with his growth, it was different for his sister. Seeing Ren who was constantly coughing out phlegms mixed with black blood, Ron got down on his knees.Oqn
RuaLAy“Please… save my sister.”bcQf
3iZ0iqR“Ron… you idiot…”gqq
NHwQSVxSeeing her twin brother who couldn’t give up on her until the very end, Ren powerlessly closed her eyes.m85Ld0V
rHCbIn the end, this was their future. Ever since they had been kidnapped by the gang, Ren had been aware that they were valuable ‘test subjects’. It was because she heard how the gang was trying to sell them to the Tower of Mages.Sv2xE
qWmNKcEExpensive beasts – that was how the world perceived them. Whenever they revealed their true identities, their surroundings always tended to look at them with either fear or greed in their eyes so Ren had constantly been wary of everyone.mN74xSZ
bcemHer ability to use her innate instincts to tell apart lies was a skill she acquired in order to survive from that environment.IyvZbyY
9T2Oz3Y[It’s okay. No one is going to hit you anymore. You guys are safe now.]AfwK
cxvrhJWas it after she heard that from him? Perhaps that was when her sharp and vigilant senses of a beast disappeared and ever since then, she had started being relieved and carefree.1ZJb
VCfAia‘It’s my fault. I should have been cautious and wary at all times…’Siwcf
SsADrSeeing her brother who had to go on his knees to save her, Ren bit her lips.ODF9iS
wtRTShe had to stay wary at the very least and yet… the inside of the fence was so warm and comfortable… that she had forgotten how cold and harsh the outside was.ucrH2E
4MF9‘I… I can’t lose just like this.’9Eywrh
rVxrThat was why she thought to herself, that she couldn’t end this failure as a failure. Ren had decided to help him. She wanted to stand on the same battlefield as oraboni.eDw
M12Wolves; they do not yield to hunters.2Iy8
O9AANWolves; they always stay as a pack.WJrTx
61VI3– Swish…!Vnv8Q
gkkDue to the aftermath of the poison, she couldn’t even turn herself into a beast. Looking at the black mage who had lowered his guard at the powerless and poisoned Ren…Tog8xJ
PPlcfQ“Uaahhk…!”3Dxc
g33MShe attacked desperately with her sharp fangs. Arkai, who wasn’t expecting a dying beast to suddenly spurt into action, instinctively swung his arm to block his vitals, which let the wolf bite into his arm.qF56
69SzF“Uhhkk…? You bastard! Let go…! Kuahkkk…!”K5rkEZ
kpPT1eArkai swung his arm around left and right and flung her away. His skin got ripped off and blood spurted out, but Ren still maintained her fighting spirit.CYw5ndR
Mhx“Kyaaaa…!”6Msmmr6
k5ykkXLetting out a small roar, Ren sprinted forward while raising her claws. Right when she was about to land her attacks on Arkai, a sudden spear of darkness pierced through her belly from the back.vh4
xr4u“Kuhuk…!”zi7
rzleThe black magic penetrating through her stomach was something fired by one of the black mages behind her.mK88x
ej48B1E“RENNN…!”tFm1
sMV06IlRon immediately tried to run up towards his sister who collapsed to the ground, but his body was already sealed in place by magic.GkI
