The moon is like a silver hook.

I'm so hungry...... It thought so.

The palace of the Red Blood Fortress at midnight was like a huge shadow erected on the top of the hill, illuminated only by a few candles and torches in the hands of the guards.

It staggered in the shadows, its entrails wriggling with hunger, swallowing and spitting, and a low roar coming from the bloody mouth between its fangs.

It started to wait.

The last "hunt" was a long time ago, but it is still vividly remembered, the warmth that flowed into the mouth, the soft touch between the fangs and the claws... The memories alone make it salivate.

But what really made it "impressed" was that the "food" actually resisted, although it only added a little trouble to it, and by the way, because the "food" was too noisy, it also gave it two more "small snacks" after meals;

That taste... It's just wonderful.

It cannot "hunt" alone without the order of the owner, otherwise the owner will punish itself very harshly and severely... That feeling... Just remembering it now makes it extremely terrifying.

It's getting closer... In the darkness of the night, the halls of the Red Blood Castle Palace gradually revealed its figure.

The main entrance is so open... But that's not a problem, even if it's closed, it has a way to open.

Standing outside the door, it can already smell the "prey"—fresh, strong, piping hot, soft, energetic prey;

And like the one who dared to resist last time, there is a very seductive and familiar aroma;

The prey this time... Will they dare to resist, and if they resist, will they be able to eat up all the "food" that appears?

The moment I walked through the door, there was a sudden little more light in the dark hall...... First faint, then brighter, and finally glaring!

"Turin... Fire!"

"Boom ————!!!!"

The sound of cracking exploded, tearing the dead silence to pieces, and the wind pressure of the flames was almost suffocating, and the door closed with a "bang!"

The fire is blazing!

In an instant, the entire hall was drowned in a sea of fire!

In the last moment, the oppression of death drove it to hide behind the pillars, and finally it was not swallowed up by the oncoming flames, and it hid vigilantly in the shadows, staring at the figure standing on the stairs.

A low roar, venting the fear and anger in its heart.

"How?"

With his right foot in front of him, Loren, who was holding the sword in his left hand, still maintained the last movement of the slash just now, and the "fire blade" condensed on the tip of the "Bright Silver" sword had also been extinguished;

"Isn't it... To your liking?"

He was answered with a deafening roar!

The scream exploded, as if the whole world was shaking, and even the air was shaking, and in an instant, the smoke and embers of the entire hall were extinguished, condensing into substance and spreading out like a wave of air.

Without hesitation, Loren immediately turned on "Transcendent Perception" - the familiar touch surged again, and with two more gray-blue lines under the corners of his eyes, the pitch-black hall finally brightened in his field of vision.

From its earliest days at the Vimpal Academy, this high-level spell has "accompanied" Loren in almost every battle, and in the strict sense of the word, Loren is even more familiar with it than the fire of Turin.

And Loren finally saw what the "vampire" in front of him looked like.

Hideous fangs......

Razor-like claws......

Scarlet Vertical Pupils......

Pitch-black hair......

Terrifying figures......

The werewolf who was supposed to only appear in the Glacier Wasteland of Broken Mountain appeared in the hall of the Red Blood Castle Palace at this moment.

No, this is no ordinary werewolf, this is a mutant monster that is much more terrifying than hunting lone cavalry in the wilderness... It was like a real murderous aura, and a terrifying void reaction, even above the vampires of Wimpal Academy!

This kind of monster... Can't give it a chance.

"May the void be with you——!"

The moment the blade of the sword waved, gray-blue sword light gushed out from the tip of the "Bright Silver" sword, trembling and striking as fast as a beam of light.

There was no hesitation, no preparation, a simple stab to the checkpoint, and a blue light was dragged.

Raise your sword, raise your sword, raid and then ... Stab!

"Bell ——!"

The moment of collision, it was like the sound of sharp blades exploding, and through the burst of fire, the scarlet eyes and pitch-black eyes looked at each other.

It sucks......

The monster's strength was unexpectedly strong, and the shiny silver sword not only failed to cut off its claws, but was even stopped, and he could almost hear the wailing of the bones in his arms under the force of the impact.

The interrupted "eating" monster howls in anger like a child whose snack has been interrupted, and raises its right claw indiscriminately at the black-haired wizard.

In an instant, there wasn't even a second left for Loren to react... The sword in his right hand blocked the claws from the top down, and his left hand was aimed at the monster's shoulder, if that thing could be called a "shoulder......

High-level spells, Force Impact.

"Bang ——!"

If baseball or pendulum could be fine, they would be able to understand Loren's mood at the moment

The reaction force on the weapon that is combined with the impact of the Force knocks the black-haired wizard directly into the air!

"Bell ——!"

Desperately fighting with a wrist injury, Loren stuck his sword into the floor, leaving a long furrow in the ground, and almost tried his best to stop in front of the stairs behind him.

By the time this battle is over, the cost of repairs to this hall alone will make the countess want to stab herself to death, right?

Looking at the mess of the "masterpiece" in front of him, the corners of Loren's mouth reluctantly showed a wry smile, the heavy breathing made the entire chest cavity burn, and the crazy beating heart was almost uncontrollable, as if it was about to break through the body in the next moment.

Even so, he didn't dare to relax for a moment, and his dark pupils still stared at the monster, and at some point, blood was already pouring out of his nose.

The brilliant silver sword is the purest void power, not substance but explosion...... In principle, apart from Mithril, a metal that restrains the power of the Void, there should be no weapon that can compete with it.

Wrong... Matter that should exist in any form should be shattered or cut in two in an instant in front of it.

But just... It blocked.

Weapons that even evil gods like Metzka and Ariel couldn't resist were blocked by it with its own claws?

This werewolf-looking thing... What kind of monster is it?!

The sword was gone, and the black-haired wizard with the sword in one hand stepped out of his left foot, the muscles of his whole body tensed, and the strength surged in his body, and he slowly assumed the posture of drawing his sword to meet the enemy.

The "werewolf" lying on the ground was still wailing, his right arm was broken by the "Force Impact" and hung on his body, and it was no longer twisted.

In the next second, it pulled out its severed right arm, pulled it straight and slammed it on, the tooth-aching bone grinding crunched, and the wail gradually turned into a low roar.

In the darkness, the muscles under the hair squirmed violently, restoring the smashed right arm to its original appearance... Only the laceration of the wound can prove the fact that it has just received a "Force Impact" head-on.

Loren's expression was still calm, only his eyes became more and more solemn, and his dark pupils flashed with a strange luster.

"How does it feel?"

Facing the monster in front of him, Loren whispered again: "Still ready... Did you eat me?"

He was answered by a deeper, terrifying roar and a pair of greedy eyes, and he looked at the black-haired wizard and licked his fangs hungrily.

Sticky saliva trickled from between the fangs and turned into puffs of green smoke on the floor where the embers had been extinguished.

I'm hungry... I'm really hungry, I haven't "hunted" for a long time.

It's just a "food", but it hurts me so much... The more it hurts, the hungrier your stomach becomes, and the more delicious the "food" smells......

It must be very "delicious", even if it not only drains his blood, but also flesh and bones... It shouldn't matter if you chew it with your head, right?

"Bang ——!"

With the screaming of the air exploding, a huge shadow rushed towards the black-haired wizard!
