Episode 658: Transformation (2)
“This is what it looks like.”
Ludger’s eyes as he looked at Hans were full of interest and pride.
The appearance of Hans standing tall on two legs was significantly different from his usual appearance.
When Hans turns into the son of a beast, he turns into a mixture of half human and half animal.
A representative example was the shape of the Lycan Slope.
However, the teeth of Jebodang’s monsters and spirit beasts were so powerful that not much of their human form remained, and they were almost in a state of beasts.
When in the form of a spirit beast, reason still remains, but when it turns into the monster of Jebodang, not even that remains.
A complete beast.
But now.
Hans, who used the teeth of Gévaudan’s monster, stood tall on two legs.
“Hoo.”
Pantos, who had his arms crossed, expressed his enthusiasm for the victory upon seeing Hans’ changed appearance.
The height is about 5m.
Although it was considerably smaller than when it turned into the monster of Zevodang, it was still large from a general perspective.
It stood tall on two legs with its arms hanging down, and its body shape looked close to a human.
What stood out above the black fur was pitch black armor, and behind its back was a black cloak like a shadow flowing down like a shimmer.
Bone pauldrons with a wolf head were worn on both shoulders, and the face was not made of bone but had the appearance of a regular black wolf.
When Hans opened his eyes, a bright red glow came out.
Everyone felt an instinctive sense of fear as the temperature around them suddenly dropped by several degrees.
The form of the beast that had changed before was also scary and looked very strong, but not at the level it is now.
It feels like a bigger and stronger nightmare has been compressed to its maximum and only the concentrated liquid is left.
If Hans goes wild in that state, it will be more dangerous here.
At that thought, Alex unconsciously placed his hand on the sword handle.
The same was true for Pantos, who uncrossed his arms and clenched his fists.
The moment when Hans’ red eyes finally looked at his own body.
“Ugh! what’s this?!”
Hans was startled and jumped up from his seat.
However, perhaps because his jumping ability was so great, Hans’ body soared vertically and hit his head on the high ceiling.
“evil.”
Hans fell to the ground again and grabbed his throbbing head.
The remains of some collapsed ceilings rained down on Hans’ head.
“Keck!”
The tense atmosphere was relieved by that comical sight.
Sheridan couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.
“what. “It makes people nervous for no reason.”
“As expected, Hans is Hans.”
Ludger approached Hans and asked.
“how is it. “Are you feeling okay?”
“Ugh. Well, it’s a lot better than I thought. “In fact, it is safe to say that it has become clearer.”
Hans pulled himself up from the wreckage and smoothed his hair with his hands.
Rather than saying it was because it hurt, the sensation just felt strange.
“However, my senses are very strange.”
“I guess so. “Not only has he grown in size, but more importantly, unlike when he was a young beast, he possesses such power within his body in the form of a human.”
Maybe it would take some time to tune that out.
“Don’t worry too much. “It won’t take that long.”
“You sound quite confident.”
“It might be right to say, sure. I can feel it clearly now that I am in this body. “I guess I should say it’s an instinct, but just like a newly born creature knows what it should do, I think I know what I should do and how I should do it.”
“okay. “Then, let’s go practice and use that newly awakened power.”
Ludger took the lead, and Hans followed.
Perhaps because he could not adapt to his changed body, Hans’s steps were precarious, but soon his movements became very stable even after only walking a few steps.
That wasn’t all. The sensations throughout my body that used to feel strange now became comfortable and natural, as if they had been with me my whole life.
This is what it felt like to be strong.
Hans realized that his perspective on the world had changed.
And what you should do now that you have changed.
As I went outside of Galaharad Fortress, I saw the outer castle gate leading to the outside.
Kugugoogung.
At that moment, the door to the outer wall was opened, and the Paladins who had come for support from the second city were rushing in.
They found Ludger and Hans and shouted something.
“Hans.”
“yes. older brother.”
“From now on.”
Paladins and priests used sacred power to implement holy laws.
“Engrave a nightmare into this country of blessings.”
A flash of red light came out from Hans, who had the head of a wolf.
The wolf’s snarling mouth drew a long arc.
“Gladly.”
Hans took a step forward and walked forward.

Considering his size, it must have been quite heavy, but Hans’ steps were as light as the wind and made no sound.
Hans did not rush in at once.
Instead, he kept a certain distance away and bent down on one knee.
The shadow cloak behind his back was drawn like a curtain and touched the ground.
The cloak moved on its own and began to dye the land in darkness.
and.
Awww!
In the darkness, red eyes sprouted.

“Have you lost any news?”
Salesin felt puzzled by the fact that communications from his distant home country had been cut off.
Even though the inner city had already been occupied, there were still many people left in the Holy Kingdom of Bretus.
There are not just paladins and priests.
Citizens belonging to the Holy Kingdom.
They were also people who served as great ears and eyes for Salesin.
But Salesin recognized that those eyes and ears were gradually being erased.
The signal came periodically from the first inspection city to the second inspection city.
Everything was being completely erased.
“Hmm.”
Salesin rested his chin.
“What on earth have you done?”
Are they really massacring all ordinary citizens?
“Hmm. Then it’s good for me. “Because we can further solidify the cause of overthrowing the devil, and we can push back even harder through the anger of those who participated in the crusade.”
However, there were too many things at stake.
“With his personality being different from his appearance, I don’t think he would commit such a cruel act.”
It is said that one does not choose any means or methods to achieve something, but Ludger was not one of them.
If conventional means did not work to achieve a goal, he was the type of person who would solve the problem in a more unusual way.
A level where you do not think and act only within a given framework, but break the framework itself and lay a new railroad yourself.
Since he was such a Ludger, Salesin judged that this method of erasing eyes and ears would not be as drastic as they thought.
‘okay. He also had colleagues. And there are many people in the world with outstanding skills.’
Moreover, there are demons attached to Ludger, so it would not be an impossible task.
“I guess you plan to hit it with all your might.”
Salesin grinned.
“okay. “At that level, it can be said to be an ordeal to escape from God’s grasp.”

Eileen and Ibelon moved quietly.
With war ahead, the surrounding area was under tight security.
Even if you are from Ibellon, you are bound to be suspicious the moment you walk around.
“This way.”
But the two didn’t catch anyone’s attention.
This is because the place where the two people were moving in the first place was a secret passage provided inside the imperial castle.
“When on earth did you make something like this?”
“There’s nothing wrong with being prepared for anything.”
It was an escape hatch created to prepare for an unexpected situation.
To be exact, it was created after the coup was prevented.
“I hoped I would never have to use something like this after that day, but the reality is that it is not that easy.”
“sister… … .”
“We’ll be arriving soon.”
As I opened the door at the end of the passage and entered, a faint light came from inside.
Ivellon opened his eyes wide as he saw a wide space with warm light streaming out of the cold, dark passage.
Although it was a small place, the people who gathered there were unusual.
“Grand Wizard Clinton. Director Luthers. And even the defense of the country.”
Clinton Rotschild, the 7th rank archmage.
Luthus Wardot, the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
Terrier Lion Howl.
“And even Erendir.”
A look of relief passed through Ibellon’s eyes when he saw his sister.
I was worried about what would happen if the magic power extended to Erendir, but encountering it like this finally helped ease my worries.
There were other people besides him.
Starting with Fascius, Mandelina is carrying out Eileen’s secret mission.
Leonhard Kimbell, commander of the Knights of Cold Steel, and Veronica, vice-captain.
And even people who are not on site but are secretly moving around outside.
“okay. “I’m glad everyone came together.”
Eileen looked at the people gathered around her and nodded with pride.
Considering the entire imperial family, the number gathered is extremely small.
Each and every one of their forces was almost at the level of an army.
“As you all know, the Holy Kingdom uses its unusual power to manipulate the leaders of countries around the world to its will. And they want to start a holy war.”
“As expected, I thought something was strange, but… … .”
Terina chewed her lip, as if she had never thought that the empire would be in such dire straits.
Because she was a patriot and devoted herself to protecting the country, her mistake was even more painful.
“Don’t worry too much, Terina.”
The person who comforted Terina was none other than Lutus.
“This was something that no one, not you, could have prevented. I am indeed. “Group brainwashing, there are degrees of nonsense.”
“So, princess. What is our goal?”
Clinton asked Eileen.
Even in this extreme situation, he still had a kind face, but there was a hint of discomfort in his eyes.
Even if Clinton was a person who didn’t care much about the world, it wasn’t a good feeling to see the empire he belonged to being played into someone’s hands.
Although he wanted to burn the priests and paladins under him, including the Holy Father Salesian, right now, Clinton had to endure it.
‘The situation will not get better if you leave here. Rather, it will take a turn for the worst.’
Salesin is not a man without any power.
The divine power he possesses is difficult for even Clinton to break through at once.
In the past, he would have stepped forward, but Clinton recently saw a power higher than what he had achieved.
The moment I saw it, I couldn’t help but realize it.
Even if you have reached the 7th rank as a human being, from a macroscopic perspective looking at the entire world, you are only at the 7th rank.
‘I was able to survive that day because I didn’t get involved in the fight.’
Clinton remembers.
Ludger Chelisi walked towards me from afar with cold fear and looked at me.
‘I couldn’t say anything the moment I faced that man.’
Ludger saw Clinton and passed by him without saying a word.
But Clinton knew.
That Ludger saved him and sent him there.
Therefore, Clinton thought he had to move more carefully and thoroughly.
If you show even the slightest loophole, the moment you are brainwashed by Salesin, the incident will become irreversible.
“Even if we have some capabilities, we are still inadequate compared to the forces we have gathered now. The same goes for the people we gathered.”
“okay. But if we say no to Salesin’s request and say we will not participate in the war, then they will really try to brainwash us this time.”
What is needed is for the other party to let down their guard.
First, this side had to bow its head and pretend to comply and take advantage of the opportunity.
“Until then, we join in this illusory crusade. “And very actively.”
The moment an opportunity arises.
I will stab you with a sharply forged dagger.

“Are you sure you don’t mind?”
Sedina and Vierano left Ceorn and headed to the Elven Kingdom.
It was an inevitable choice. People from the Lumensis Church also came to Seorn, so as they were sub-races, they had no choice but to worry about unnecessary conflict.
How much more so when a saint and a priestly sister came.
Sedina is currently the only being that can communicate with the World Tree.
If the two collide, it won’t end up being a minor problem.
“yes. are you okay. “The teacher also told us elves not to participate in the war.”
After the day I brought Grander back.
Ludger had spoken to Sedina separately.
It was a stern warning that the elves should never interfere with what was to come.
At first, Sedina asked why they had to do that and said they would fight too, but Ludger was adamant.
“We have not fully healed from the wounds of the civil war yet. In such a situation, if we tried to arbitrarily intervene in an external temple, our position would be shaken, so they were considerate.”
“yes. I think so too. “Mr. Ludger is a person who cares deeply about being considerate of others.”
“That’s why I’m sad. “Even though I know my teachers and colleagues are fighting, I can’t do anything about it.”
“Why do you think there isn’t one?”
Hearing Vierano’s words, Sedina stared at him with a look of surprise.
“yes? “What do you mean?”
“That’s literally it.”
Vierano said with a kind smile.
“I can’t help you as Sedina Plante, but I can help you as Sedina Rochen.”
“… … !”
Sedina opened her eyes wide.
I never imagined that Vierano would say such a thing.
“But if I’m away, if I go to war and something happens… … .”
“yes. This would be a very serious matter for us elves. So, we are prepared to provide peace of mind.”
Immediately after Vierano finished speaking, Sedina’s expression brightened upon seeing the new people who had appeared.
“How are you?”
The elf with a black eyepatch over one eye asked with a smile.
That smile was like that of a lion.
