Chapter 39: Werewolf (The Appearance of Ethanshia)
Bestiality is the end of the magical plague and curse of bestiality in the body of humanoids, which causes the infected to become shapeshifting creatures, gaining high-speed regenerative power and the ability to transform into half-human, half-beast hybrid forms and animal forms.
In the Jojolas Wasteland, an area that still bears the scars of the final battlefield of the Calamity War, is home to creatures twisted by the remnants of the rebel gods who once ruled the area.
Muddy paths wind through broken fields, sweltering swamps, and decaying forests, fierce storms dominate the skies, and hungry predators roam the empty and barren plains.
Bestials, goblins, and nomads of all stripes claim ownership of the swamps and wastelands of the region, honing their survival skills and the way they fight against the elements and each other.
The chaos of the wasteland and the traces left by the original rebel gods flowed through the blood of the local tribesmen, and the natural beasts formed the clans of the wilderness.
The halfling tribe roamed the wasteland on dinosaurs and wild beasts, spreading the curse of the acquired bestiality everywhere.
"Around the beginning of last month, fences were broken and livestock were preyed on in the city of Asari and in various nearby villages, leaving traces of canine creatures."
"At first, when we didn't know that there was something wrong in each village, we thought it was a wolf attack. But when news came from other villages and the city of Asalis, we realized that it was an acquired beast. ”
Acquired bestials, that is, humanoids that have been bitten by innate beasts and have been infected with the curse of bestiality, also have requirements for the size of the infected person according to the type of beast spirit - even if a smaller halfling is bitten by a bear man, its body structure does not support it to become a bear man.
This infected person is relatively weak in strength and less regenerative power, but it also has the ability to spread a magical plague.
Not only that, but due to the fierce conflict between the original human soul and the beast spirit brought by the curse, this acquired beast will also lose itself and become a crazy hunter.
Guard's duty room.
The boss of the Red War Paint Bear Goblin and the Green War Paint Bear Goblin, a veteran knight who fought in the Third War between the Kling Dynasty and the Dundarian Empire, Linton, the half-orc, explains the appearance of the beast to outsiders who have been brought in by two fools without permission.
The one-eyed orc, who had been shot by an arrow during the war, spoke unexpectedly well, and seemed to have studied in the dynasty's capital of Rossona.
It is worth mentioning that the orcs of Ethan are not a human subspecies with the animal characteristics of the Asta plane.
Rather, it is a different kind of orc with a low forehead and a pig-like face, and a long tusk-like tusk on the lower jaw (although not that long), accustomed to bowing forward.
Chen Zhou, who had already made up the class, knew that this kind of humanoid creature (orc) was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.
Some are close to the Orcs in the Lord of the Rings or WOW, Chen Zhou thought, the Lord of the Rings is not some kind of artistically processed documentary literature.
In a few years, he might even find his way back to his hometown on Earth......
With a few words from the half-orc old knight in his early forties, everyone understood what had happened.
"Count the days, if a person is bitten by a werewolf, he will lose himself and become a monster in about a month or two, and few acquired beasts can maintain themselves under the interference of the spirit to consciousness."
Because of his profession, Donal has a certain understanding of this dangerous and evil (usually) shape-shifting creature: "Even if he maintains himself, his personality will definitely change." ”
This change depends on the type of bestiac.
Generally speaking, Nezumi and Werewolves tend to be evil, Tiger and Boar People tend to be neutral, and Bears tend to be good overall.
This change in moral values has nothing to do with the habits of the animals, but is the result of their inner souls.
However, the specific personality changes also depend on the local situation, for example, all of the beasts in Alberton are all inclined to evil, which led to the Lori Cult...... The Church of the Silver Flame purged it indiscriminately.
As for the situation on Esan's side, Donal didn't know very well, but since the beast clan in the Jorhas wasteland had not been shouted at by everyone, it was obviously different from the situation on Aberon's side.
After understanding the situation, everyone looked at the bright moon outside the window again, and now the moon is in the middle of the sky, if there are really werewolves, most of them will appear soon.
So I was ready to go.
But Tunalas felt a little strange, if the beasts encountered in these villages really couldn't control their acquired type, how could they accurately bloom more near the city of Asalis?
It suspects that the other party is likely to be aware of its actions, and more likely to have some kind of untold premeditation.
"You don't have to worry, I have released some activated parts to monitor the streets of Heitu Village, and if there is any discovery, I will notify you as soon as possible."
"I put the surveillance on it too." Mimic added.
In fact, Chen Zhou also summoned the Holy Light Divine Envoy, and he had been curious about the origin of the Japanese-style, or Eastern-style orcs like Asta, for a long time, and planned to take a look at the difference between the appearance of the beasts and himself.
However, the expected werewolf did not appear at present, so he simply became invisible as the Holy Light Divine Envoy and threw himself into the military camp stationed outside the village.
It was a mixed legion of the Dawn Guards under the command of the Queen of Light of the Dark Elves of Rosona City and the local warriors, there were forty or fifty fifth-order warriors alone, and they were also assisted by spellcasters, even he had to be careful not to be seen through the invisibility.
If such a legion of nearly 100 men (only the number of combatants) were placed in Asta, even the most powerful kingdom of Norton would be able to attack it.
Dealing with so many acquired beasts, is it a bit of a fuss?
"Rat rats think that the bestials are probably not accidental, random crimes occur in multiple locations at the same time, and werewolves themselves are used to swarming, this is likely a premeditated attack."
Jerry's analysis did not surprise the old knight.
With many enemies in the Dark Elves, the Kling Dynasty, and the City of Asari, the Wasteland of Jojohas, the heart of the Calamity War, is destined to be a place of chaos.
"Ah, my eyes are lined up." Chen Zhou said suddenly.
The Holy Light Divine Envoy was unsummoned by the caster in the garrison outside the city.
As soon as the words ended, there was a feedback on the sight of Tunalas and the Mimics in Black Earth Village and beyond.
"Werewolves have appeared, and not just one!"
Tunalas counted that there were seven werewolves in a small village of less than 10,000 square meters in Black Earth Village alone.
These tall humanoid wolfbeasts in black fur appeared from various houses and taverns, chanted the name of the traitorous god Ranla, and began to slaughter as if no one was around!
Hearing this, the orcs hurriedly sounded the alarm.
The piercing gong sounded, and the Black Earth Village suddenly entered a state of combat readiness!
