◈ 264. [STAGE 10] Kureha
Just now.
cross road. downtown.
An empty lot next to the barracks.
“Heo-eok, hee-eok, hee-eok!”
Breathing heavily, I stood staggering.
A white werewolf collapsed and died right in front of him.
Kureha’s flashing dagger-flying kick combo put him in a dying state, and I managed to finish him off with my magic blade.
However, the problem is Kureha.
I glanced back. I saw Kureha collapsed in a puddle of blood.
“Hey, Kureha! Wake!”
“Cool, cool!”
With a huge hole in her stomach, Kureha was coughing up blood. I hurriedly took an advanced potion from my pocket and poured it on his wound.
but,
‘Recovery is slow… … !’
The wound did not heal easily.
Kureha’s body, which had already been mummified after using her strength, was not even receiving the effect of the potion properly.
“Huh, cool! majesty… … Those two old men… … I’m sure you’ll be fine… … .”
“Of course not! Worry about you!”
Wrapping yourself up to save others with a body like this… … .
I’m struggling to somehow restore Kureha,
“majesty!”
The skirmishers I had scattered everywhere rushed to me.
While looking sideways at the skirmishers, I continued spraying potions on Kureha’s body and pressing the wound with my hand to stop the bleeding.
“Report!”
“yes!”
The skirmishers took turns reporting the current situation.
And I, who listened to the situation in turn, and Kureha, whose complexion was pale from excessive blood loss, also hardened their faces.
The southern wall is being attacked by Lucas, who protrudes alone.
Evangeline has fallen on the northern wall, and all other heroes have suffered.
Most of the werewolves hiding in the city have been cleaned up, but the few who survived… … .
“You took a hostage?”
“yes… … ! Werewolves driven into the central plaza are holding citizens hostage and are holding a sit-in! Other than that, there are a few of them in the alley, like hostages… … !”
My head was dizzy.
I couldn’t figure out how to deal with this situation that was unfolding simultaneously in all directions. I tried to think calmly.
It was then.
“Get up… … please give it to me.”
Kureha coughed up blood and tried to stand up. Flagship me shouted.
“Stop talking nonsense! You are dying now!”
“Your brother… … We must go, to rescue Quylan. hurry… … .”
“Can’t you just lie down and not f*ck?! With that body, you can’t even go out here, let alone the North Gate, and die!”
“My brother is dying too!”
Kureha screamed at her face. I was at a loss for words for a moment.
Kureha struggled to get up, covering the blood and intestines leaking from her stomach with her hand.
However, his whole body, which had already used his strength to save two elderly people, was dried up like a mummy, and even the movement to raise his body seemed difficult.
I was trying to save someone I didn’t care about, but I couldn’t save my brother.
I closed my eyes tightly as I watched the gruesome scene.
‘Think about it.’
Find a way out of the current situation.
‘Games exist to be cleared.’
In any situation, there is a trick, and there is a way to live. The past 742 experiences prove it.
any higher probability. any way that’s more certain.
find
‘no!’
I opened my closed eyes.
That’s not enough. You shouldn’t judge based on a given situation. I need to look wider and farther.
‘Look above the rules of the game.’
Don’t be governed by the rules. rule the rules
by all available means.
Detours, bends, twists – find the weak spots in the rules.
“… … !”
That moment.
popped up
Now, there is a principled way to solve all of these situations at once.
“Kureha.”
I spoke in a calm and cold voice that surprised even myself.
“If it’s to save your brother, what can you do?”
Kureha did not hesitate.

“Anything can be done.”
“… … .”
“Anything for that child.”
I nodded heavily.
“There is one way. Kureha.”
I quickly explained the strategy I had in mind. A moment of surprise crossed Kureha’s face.
“Certainly, theoretically it is possible, but… … .”
“Is it really possible?”
“yes. But maybe, I should contact the opponent directly.”
However, now Kureha’s physical condition is serious.
The skirmishers rushed to the temple to summon the priest, but it was certain they would die before the priest arrived.
The light of life was fading every moment on Kureha’s face. Executing that strategy with a body like this… … .
“… … .”
Then something came to mind.
“… … Kureha. From the past story you told me before.”
Clenching my fists, I asked.
“Your father said that he transformed your younger brother, who became the vessel of the curse, into a wolf monster.”
“Yes that’s right.”
“Then you, now the vessel of the curse, can also turn into that wolf monster?”
Kureha was silent. I quietly looked into his face.
After a while, Kureha slowly nodded with a face as if she had made up her mind on something.
“… … Yes, Your Highness. However, since there is no ‘tree’ to assist the magic here, the magic is not perfect.”
“… … .”
“I will never be a full wolf monster, and I will probably lose my temper… … It may attack Your Highness.”
“are you okay. I have a way. A way to make sure you obey my orders.”
“… … .”
A smile crossed Kureha’s bloody lips.
“Just in case, the magic I learned from my mother at the end… … The day will come when it will be used like this.”
“… … Kureha.”
“Anyway, this is my life to die. Make me a wolf monster. So that we can carry out the operation Your Highness has instructed.”
Kureha bowed her head to me.
“Please help me save my brother.”
Cursing at this, I replied briefly.
“Start right away. There is no time.”
As Kureha instructed, I drew a magic circle on the floor and laid Kureha on top of it.
Kureha chanted an incantation to activate magic in a dying voice. I made an X-shaped wound on Kureha’s forehead with my blink dagger.
The moonlight of the full moon was pouring down from the bright sky.
Kkududeuk, kkudeuk… … !
With a terrifying sound of body twisting, Kureha’s dried up limbs sprouted flesh, muscles, and red hair.
Kureha’s entire body exposed to the moonlight was transforming.
Eventually, when all the X-shaped scars were carved on his forehead, Kureha was transformed into an ugly wolf monster.
Bizarrely grown claws and ferocious molars that did not mesh. Distorted joints and left and right muscles. And red hairs sprouting all over the body… … .
A wolf monster with all the curses of its clan.
《… … .》
The huge wolf monster rose slowly.
I was nervous and prepared for him to attack me, but the monster seemed to have no intention of doing so.
I used the [Mystic Eye of Command] first.
“Get down on your knees and show your allegiance to me.”
The [Mystic Eye of Command] was easily applied. Kureha slowly knelt down on one knee.
“Kureha.”
Facing the monster’s kind eyes staring at me, I spat out the starter of my 2nd skill.
“Be mine.”
Charleureuk!
Then, a figure resembling a dog collar with chains attached to it appeared in the air and tightened Kureha’s neck.
T-ring!
[The Unknown Werewolf Kureha (SSR) has been incorporated as an ally!]
– Current Loyalty: 90/100
– Absolute Command: 1 time
It’s a success.
I let out a sigh of relief. Phew… … .
It was then.
Patter!
Magic bullets poured out from the center of the city like rain. I could immediately figure out what it was.
‘Demian’s ultimate skill, confrontation!’
I knew the effect by reading the skill description in advance.
It is Damian’s wide-area technique that fires healing magic bullets to all allies and offensive magic bullets to enemies.
By the way, the magic bullet that fell on me was a healing magic bullet,
Tsukak-!
What fell on Kureha was an attacking magic bullet.
Kureha casually stretched out her arms to block the magic bullet, but I was dizzy when I saw that.
Damian’s clairvoyance was a harsh judgment.
Kureha is a monster.
I am no longer human.
Then, Kureha slowly opened her mouth.
《… … Give the order, give it, oh.”
“… … .”
“majesty.”
Even though he became a monster, he did not lose his reason.
“Kureha. good. Execute according to the plan.”
I added a concise order.
“Save your brother.”
《… … .》
“and… … Save the wires here.”
Kureha lowered her head slightly.
“With all my heart, with all my heart. certainly.”
Tuhak-!
Kureha’s gigantic body, which hit the ground, shot north in an instant.
I watched with bitterness as he walked away, gritted my teeth, and clenched my fists.

today.
in front of the northern wall.
Pooh!
Blood splattered everywhere.
“… … ?”
Quylan closed his eyes and waited for Lunared’s claw to drop, but he felt no pain.
Quylan trembled and opened his eyes.
pop. pop.
There is the sound of blood dripping to the floor.
“… … ?!”
Suddenly appeared, got in between Lunared and Quilan, and took the attack instead with his back… … I saw a huge werewolf.
Blood was flowing down this werewolf’s back.
No, could this be called a werewolf?
The bizarrely bent limbs, as if they had turned into wolves… … A hideous wolf monster.
But why? Quylan stared blankly at the monster’s face.
Is it my own illusion that I feel that the monster’s eyes looking at me are warm?
“What is this?”
Lunared let out a puzzled voice.
“What are you? They seem to be from my family, but why are they interfering… … .》
《… … .》
The monster looked at Quylan with gentle eyes, then rotated like a thunderbolt and clenched its fists with its arms of different lengths.
Tuhak-!
I hit Lunared’s chest with both fists.
《Kuk-?!》
Lunared vomited blood and fell backwards.
Courage!
After falling from Lunared’s hand, Quylan landed on the floor and looked up in bewilderment.
《… … .》
Standing as if protecting Quylan, the wolf monster looked at Quylan with a gentle gaze once more,
-chuck.
took a stance
It was a bizarre posture because of the reversed joints and limbs of different lengths.
Quylan was immediately recognizable.
That is the Kwonbeop posture of the Maple Lang tribe.
My brother taught me… … That’s it.
《A descendant of my blood, how dare you!》
Lunared rushed again, her bloody eyes glaring. The unidentified wolf monster was shot at and ran away.
f*ck! puck! Pereouk… … !
The two monsters started fighting.
The muscles that far surpassed that of humans wriggled, and they fired their fists to kill each other like cannons.
Next to Quylan, who gazed blankly at this surreal scene,
“I have to kill you now.”
Evangeline came and stood. Quylan looked at Evangeline in surprise.
Evangeline, who grabbed the wound on her abdomen, had a pale complexion, but she held the shield firmly in her left hand.
Other party members struggled to stand behind Evangeline.
Thanks to the healing magic bullet that Damian fired, everyone was able to gather their last strength and stand up.
“I don’t know why those two monsters are wreaking havoc on themselves, but this is an opportunity.”
“… … .”
“We are all exhausted to the limit. No two times. We have to kill them all at the same time.”
Evangeline winked.
The members of the Shadow Unit, including God Hand, and the Punishment Unit grabbed their weapons and nodded their heads with solemn faces.
The bloodied heroes stepped forward to mount a final assault.
“… … !”
at that time,
Quylan, who noticed something, hurriedly blocked the party members. Evangeline narrowed her brow.
“What is Kuyla? what are you doing now… … .”
“Hey, don’t attack.”
“yes?”
“He is my older brother.”
I couldn’t explain it clearly, but I knew it.
“That monster, my brother!”
out of this world.
Because there was only one person who looked at him with such a warm gaze.
So, Quylan cried out.
“You mean my brother… … !”
