The road is cold at night, only in the distance, the lights of the village serve as a guide. The sky is gray, and there are no stars and moons.

Carrying an oil lamp from Roxana, Weken looked around vigilantly.

"Wow! it's so dark!" exclaimed Eve, "I almost tripped over!"

She was complaining about the trail beneath her feet.

The road is not too neat. It's okay during the day, but if you can't see it at night, it's a headache. The stones on this road are potholes, even adults cannot underestimate them.

"Eve, be careful......" Rit stood beside Weken, looking around from time to time.

She was afraid of the dark.

"Don't go too far, lean in. Wicken grabbed Eve and kept her within range of the oil light.

The oil lamp is surrounded by a glass cover, with only a few small holes in the upper and lower parts as ventilation ports. It's not too bright, but it's enough to cope with the darkness of the night.

“......”

Weken looked around, wondering if he should quicken his pace. After all, being in a dark place is always a little scary. But the two little ones can't keep up with the adults, and if they go too fast, they will fall behind.

The last time I did it, I was in Forest Town to guard Lizzlit.

"Brother Wei, are you afraid of the dark?" asked Eve, a little worried.

"I'm not afraid of 'black'. I'm worried about what might be behind the 'black'. Also, why do you ask?" Weken was a little curious.

"Hmph, if my brother is scared, we can protect you!" Eve puffed out her chest proudly.

Weken: "......"

"Yes, Lit, Litt can also protect her brother!" Although Litt is not like Eve, she also has a very solemn expression on her pink little face under the light of the lamp.

Weken's brow furrowed.

Why do they have such expressions? Aren't they supposed to be ordinary little girls? How can they ......?

Whew——!

In the distance, there seemed to be a wolf howl.

There seemed to be a hint of anger and fear in the howl. But soon, the howl of the wolf returned to nothingness.

"Pick up the pace. "Weken doesn't feel good.

After the wolf howled, there seemed to be something not very good.

"Hmm!" the two little girls replied in unison.

The road stretches down to the outskirts of the village, almost out of the village. It's a suburb with large fields on both sides.

In this kind of place, it stands to reason that there will not be any strange animals.

But......

Wei Ken glanced in the direction where the wolf howl had come from.

The wolf howl seems far away, but it seems very close.

"It's almost there!" said Eve, looking at a small torii in the distance, "that's the back door of the village!"

"Hmm. Weken relieved himself a little.

Has it finally arrived......

No......

"Stand behind me!" Wei Ken felt a chill in his heart, pulled out his long sword, turned around, and put on a battle stance, "What!"

He threw the lamp forward and smashed it on the road.

"That's ......"

Pupils constricted slightly.

As a miscellaneous soldier, he has been on the battlefield and fought life and death battles with people. However, he has never faced a beast himself......

A wolf, its figure is particularly huge under the light of the fireworks of the broken oil lamp in front of it.

The wolf's eyes were unusually distorted, and there was a cold blue light in his eyes.

It seemed that the bloodthirsty whisper of its throat could still be heard.

"It's big, wolf!!!Wow!!" Eve hugged her head in fright and shrank behind Wicken, "No! the big bad wolf is going to eat us!"

"Eve, Eve...... Woo......" Litt shrank her head in fright, and there was a slight cry in her voice.

"Wolf ......" Wei Ken frowned, and the hand holding the long sword trembled slightly.

Are you kidding? What is the situation with this wolf? Why is it so close to a human village?

Although Roxana's house is indeed on the outskirts of the village, there is no reason for the wolves to get so close, is it because they are hungry in winter and want to enter the village to forage for food?

The saliva of the hungry wolf slowly flowed down the wolf's teeth and fell to the ground. The smelly, disgusting smell carried by the night wind.

The wolf roared under his breath and was about to attack.

"Eve, Lit, you stand back! quickly, into the village!" Wicken prepared to meet him with his sword.

What the hell? What kind of wolf is this messing around! Shouldn't we have stalemate for a while and wait for an opportunity to attack? Why did they attack directly?

"Oh!" the sword slashed out coldly, at an eerie angle.

Cutting off swordsmanship, cutting off the human body, cutting puppets for practice - no problem.

But what is the weakness of the wolf? Is the head the same as a human?

"Roar——!"

The wolf nimbly dodged the slash and pounced to the side twice, striking at Wei Ken again.

If you don't wear leather armor, if you are hit by this wolf, I am afraid that it will not be splashed with blood on the spot.

Can't be touched by it.

Taking a half-step back, Weken slammed his sword into the wolf's head again, trying to pierce its head.

"Whoa!!"

However, there seemed to be a triumphant smile on the wolf's face?

The wolf's head tilted slightly, and the long sword brought up a large piece of wolf hair, swinging it along the wolf's side. The wolf's mouth opened violently, and it bit directly into Wei Ken's arm.

"Don't think—"

The arm retreated, and the blade of the sword was pointed at the wolf's mouth.

The guard is jammed with wolf teeth. The wolf's pounce force knocked Wei Ken to the ground.

"Tsk......"

Feeling the smell of blood coming from the wolf's mouth in front of him, Wei Ken frowned slightly.

If I had smelled it so coldly before, I might have to vomit for a long time, right? But now, this smell is much better than the battlefield full of corpses.

Is it deadlocked? No......

Wei Ken's brow furrowed.

Unlike wild beasts, human hands are not sharp claws.

The wolf's claws are like sharp blades, about to fall. And the target is Weken's neck.

This wolf is very intelligent and knows the weakness of man. As long as the neck is cut and bled out, then the death of a person is only a matter of time. Even if you don't fight anymore, you can wait quietly and watch people lose too much blood and die.

"Damn ......"

Two hands together can hold this damn wolf. Is there no other way?

Crawling out of the pile of dead people, is it going to be killed in this small village because he has no experience in fighting wolves?

Whoosh——!! knock!

"Whoa, whoa——!," the wolf cried out in pain, and rolled on the ground like a beaten dog.

"Huh?"

On the wolf's body, two small flames of fire rolled. One is on the wolf's tail and the other is on the wolf's back.

The burnt smell is a bit unappetizing.

Although he was curious about the sudden flames, Wei Ken did not dare to give up this opportunity to fight back, and directly dropped his sword, cutting off the wolf's huge head.

The wolf corpse shuddered and collapsed. There was no warm wolf blood with a fishy smell as imagined, only a faint blue light flashing in the wolf's eyes.

"Magic ......" Wei Ken frowned and looked around.

"It's your ......"

Sisters Eve and Lit, who sat on the ground and leaned against each other, were the ones who released the two small fires just now. Weken reacted quickly and ran to check on his sister.

It's not a big deal, it's just exhaustion.

"Great, you're all right......" Weken breathed a sigh of relief.

No wonder these two little guys dared to say anything to protect me before...... So that's the reason?

You can use magic at a young age, and maybe when you grow up, you will become a human being, right?

"But compared to this ......," Weken glanced at the wolf corpse.

No wonder there was a strange sense of disobedience when I first saw this wolf.

The smell of blood that I smelled from the wolf's mouth just now was only its own blood.

So......

"Who!" said Wei Ken stood in front of the two siblings, sword in hand.

In such a remote village, people who can use magic......
