Volume 1: Walking on the Brink of Destruction and Deliverance Chapter 109: Werewolves and Transfigurers
Under the full moon, on a bare rock site without any vegetation cover in the territory of Karokaimen, burly figures gradually gathered in the center of the land.
They, no, they have light, brownish-gray fur that covers all areas of their body except for their faces and a few other small areas.
Their eyes are a creepy green in the dim moonlight, and they have the cruelty of hunters who have been hidden in the shadows for a long time.
Sharp claws sit at the tips of fingers and toes, and from time to time the screeching sound of collision and friction pierces the silence.
This is where the werewolf assembly is routinely held, a custom that has been passed down for thousands of years.
Once a quarter, there are werewolves from the territory of the Ris Alliance, and it is also possible that werewolves from the Beglie Empire and the Lill Alliance, which can only come once every six months or a year, come to participate in this major meeting within their own race.
Most werewolves are listless, because the world today does not have a place for werewolves as it did a thousand years ago, or two or three hundred years ago. Most of the areas that can provide a good living environment are occupied by humans, and there are also forces such as the Demon Hunting Association and the Holy Emperor Church that are hostile to them.
If you accidentally expose any wolf claws in human society, 99% of them will die in the pursuit of powerful people such as the Demon Hunting Association.
Therefore, even if there is a werewolf who can transform into a human form, he does not want to settle in an environment surrounded by humans.
Although they can also adapt to the human lifestyle, the wildness engraved in their genes cannot be suppressed at any time and place.
For example, there was a werewolf who accidentally turned into a werewolf after getting drunk, and the Holy Emperor Church mercilessly killed this fellow human who had never harmed anyone.
And most of the werewolves who live in the wilderness have long given up their entertainment cells, and they have tempered the minds of beasts one by one.
Being able to speak normally and communicate with other people is already nerve-wracking.
By the way, these werewolves all live in their own realms, and there is no patriarch.
If it weren't for the maintenance of the werewolf civilization that had survived the ancient times, they would not have bothered to gather here and gossip innoccupied.
After all the werewolves had found their seats and sat down, one of them, who had apparently come on the pitch before he had time to rest after the long journey, gasped and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Rouse from the territory of the Beglie Empire, and this time I have come mainly to bring news that the werewolf Dai Liang has died in the pursuit of the Holy Emperor Church. ”
After hearing the names of his fellow victims, one of the werewolves who looked like they were some older snorted and said:
"Dai Liang, are you talking about the traitorous werewolf who had an adulterous affair with the Transfigurer?"
"Yes. The man named Rouse nodded, not upset by the disdain in the other's words.
In fact, even if the others present did not speak, they thought in their hearts about the same as the old werewolf who spoke.
"It is said that he was killed by a master who did not belong to the Holy Emperor Church and the Demon Hunting Association. ”
That's the point of this information.
It's just a werewolf who betrayed the oath of his ancestors, had an adulterous affair with a foreigner and gave birth to a son, and it is not a pity to die.
But the problem is that the person who killed it does not belong to the two most hostile organizations of the Holy Emperor Church and the Demon Hunting Society, and has the ability to erase them.
That is to say-
"Is there another force that wants to purge our race? ”
Speaking of this, one of the werewolves sighed, "Well, I have to admit that the traitor still has a little effect. At least let us know that there is another force that is hostile to us. ”
As if the sound was a little let go and disturbed the surroundings, a wild goose flew up from a tree branch not far away and flew into the distant sky.
There was a faint hint of helplessness in the back, which made the werewolves present feel a little touched.
"It seems that the other creatures are feeling pity for our plight. ”
Surrendering to the Emperor of Eternal Life, they learned that they were also a magical race.
The innate magic that he possesses is that he can instantly express the werewolf gene, and become a subhuman who far surpasses ordinary people in terms of strength and action.
And it is precisely because the so-called natural magic is used when the werewolf is turned into a werewolf, so something in the Demon Hunting Association can detect the existence of a werewolf.
Whenever there is any trace of suspected magic in the field, it will continue to track until it catches or kills the target on the spot.
After all, due to the innate fear and rejection of other human races, as long as it is not specially approved by the Demon Hunter Association, it is the target of the demon hunters under its command.
Although the danger of the Holy Emperor Church is not as great as that of the Demon Hunting Association, the werewolves who occasionally appear in the city are also facing the danger of being killed by the Golden Pattern Apologists one by one before the Demon Hunting Association arrives.
In short, the land of right and wrong of human beings cannot accommodate their werewolf race.
At this moment, I heard that whether the werewolf escaped to the wild or was killed was not the handiwork of the two mentioned above, which made the werewolves present feel a little uneasy.
In other words, the opponent not only has the combat power to kill werewolves, but also can act in the wild.
In this case, if they let this new force encounter them in the wild, they have to maintain their werewolf form all the time and remain undetected by the Demon Hunting Association, they will encounter a new danger.
If the already small number of werewolves are hunted by multiple forces in this increasingly grim situation, they will face a future of extermination.
"If it weren't for those fools, my generation wouldn't be in such a situation where people are hunted down like this now!"
A werewolf angrily pointed the finger at an incident that happened hundreds of years ago.
Speaking of this, there are also feathered people who are sympathetic to them.
It's all because there is a traitor from the Origin Demon Race, who instigated the Emperor of Eternal Life not long after he just surrendered, and there are more or less unwilling clansmen to join the camp opposed to humans.
Werewolves had been at peace for less than ten years, and under this general trend, they had to compromise with the fierce warfighters and stand on the opposite side of the Immortal Emperor.
The ending can be imagined, since the origin of the demon race was defeated, the werewolf clan has lived in the shadows since then, hiding from the angry Eternal Emperor again and again ruthlessly pursued and killed.
And after the fall of the Immortal Emperor, there was also a time when they raised their heads and seized control of a small area.
But then he was defeated by the demon hunters and returned to the hopeless wilderness.
"Let's all be careful in the days ahead. ”
A werewolf from the realm of the Kingdom of Harmon also spoke at this time, bringing even more news that made everyone's hearts sink even more:
"The Origin Demon Race also came out not long ago. Including the traitor who wants to represent my entire race, among them. ”
"That guy has a long life. ”
The oldest werewolf muttered.
Even if ordinary werewolves have super healing powers, they can't resist the erosion of time.
After reaching the age of 100, the healing power gradually declines, and even if you maintain the form of a werewolf, you will not survive the next 100 and a half.
Of course, it is not excluded that there are werewolves with good luck who can live to a higher age.
But the demon race, which is disgusted by all humans and werewolves, can actually live to be more than six hundred years old, and still has terrifying combat power.
Maybe as a price, it will be the object of being hunted down by everyone in the world.
"By the way, how is Dai Liang's child? Is it necessary to bring him back?"
A werewolf abruptly shifted the conversation back to that place.
"It is not the fault of the child that he was born into the world through the fault of his parents. ”
A respected werewolf said: "What's more, unlike the hybrid born of a werewolf and a human, who loses the ability to werewolf, this child has perfectly inherited the advantages of both parents, not only werewolves, but also other unexpected abilities." ”
The werewolf glanced at the others present and said earnestly, "The current werewolf clan needs this kind of combat power that can be at the top even among humans. ”
Although werewolves are more powerful than normal humans, they are limited to [average].
Human powerhouses like the Demon Hunter and the Golden-Striped Apologetics can completely threaten their lives.
And I heard that Dai Liang's son, who seems to be called Dai Wangjue, has combat power that can even reach the upper reaches of that group of top combat power.
I have to say that if you can win over the camp here, it will be of great benefit to your future survival and development.
The problem is that the child seems to have left Begrét with the Pope of the Holy Emperor's Church after Dai Liang's death, and entered the most heavily guarded castle in Karokemen.
Not to mention whether you can convince him to join, it is even more difficult to see him.
This group of werewolves who were still slandering Dai Liang just now are worried about recruiting Dai Liang's son like this at this moment.
Maybe we can only start with that [shapeshifter] as a breakthrough?
————
Transfigurative, in a premeditated gentle trap, a millennial werewolf was tempted by another nearly extinct race, the Phantom Man, to give birth to the world's first life form that was considered taboo.
This kind of life is disgusted and even hunted down by the werewolf clan, and at the same time, it is difficult to gain a foothold in the [Phantom Man].
However, it perfectly inherits the characteristics of the side that can reproduce asexually, and it continues in the world of the jungle.
And this race, which has a bad relationship with the patrilineal race and longs to be sociable, finally achieved its wish decades ago.
After an adventure of life and death, he changed his name to Dai Liang to integrate into human society, and lived with this shapeshifter who had just left the werewolf meeting.
The form of the wild goose gradually deforms, resembling a liquid mass of viscous substance, increasing and deforming in a way that does not conform to any existing knowledge.
Until he gradually manifested as a werewolf who was thinner than the rest of his kind.
It originally wanted to appear at the right time and beg them to avenge Dai Liang, but after hearing the werewolves' contemptuous comments about Dai Liang, it left there without saying a word.
As a race that can be transformed into [ingested genes] and can change at will, it is easy to hide this kind of thing from people who have no defense.
Now its only wish is to avenge the death of Dai Liang.
Ever since it was suddenly attacked by assassins hired by the Holy Emperor Church that day, it had turned into an inconspicuous critter and fled with Dai Liang.
As for the descendant who still serves as the golden-veined apologists under the Pope, and has no knowledge of his father's death, it can't complain.
So far, I can only rely on my own strength to investigate all this and find out the truth of that day.
Even if it had instinctively hid early that day, the fear it felt was enough to bring it to the brink of collapse.
What's more, it's Dai Liang who faces that eye?
It was like being held in the heart by a powerful palm, and when it came back to its senses and left the bunker, it saw a werewolf with a different head.
The panicked expression that almost burst out of the eyeballs tormented it in the night from time to time.
But it did not give up its vengeance because of this terrifying power.
Although it is not possible to meet the descendants of the Pope's personal bodyguard, it is possible to infiltrate the interior of the Holy Emperor's Church and find useful information.
It had made up its mind, and once again transformed into the fastest Sky Bird through that strange transformation, and flew quickly to the church it hated to the bone.
