“Like a pesky old fox.”
Doouk said to himself as he looked at Maegu, who had returned to the form of a broken sword.
Magu fought well.
It bought me time better than I could have imagined.
I don’t know what triggered it, but Anton seems to have made up his mind.
good is good
‘Maegu.’
[You’re tired.]
The sword that flew far away at my gesture flew towards my palm.
‘It must be difficult to transform into a human and fight together like I just did, right?’
[You know it well.]

Judging from Maegoo’s tired voice,
It seems that the recent fight is wasting a lot of energy.
It was fortunate that I did not go back to sleep.
If Maegoo had lost consciousness, it would have been impossible to escape out of the world of images.
[You’re thinking about running away again.]
‘If you don’t want to, I’ll have to get rid of my body first. Be careful not to lose a fight.’
[Seeing that he didn’t say let’s run away right away, I guess he still has a chance.]
‘About half and half?’
It would depend on how good Anton is, though.
Doouk raised his fist without a word, and as expected, it was me, not Anton, who was aiming.
“This is your turn.”
bang!!!
The ground shook and trees fell.
thank god.
If you had targeted Anton instead of me, things would have been a little more troublesome.
In addition, it was helpful to see Maegu fighting earlier, so it was much easier to avoid Doouk’s attack.
‘Compared to before, it’s gotten easier, just avoiding it is quite intense.’
It was because Mae-gu told me that even brushing against it would cause a fatal wound.
Also, the rare attribute ＜Eye of the Mind＞, which he had just acquired, was of great help.
I consumed three general attributes and achieved the value expressed.
How many times have you narrowly avoided two hundred million attacks?
The sky, bright as daylight, turns dark.
In the sky, unknown stars revealed shy brilliance one by one, and the full moon rose in the center of it.
And the moon that rose like that was not one.
woo woo woo-
It was night here, and the rising moonlight was bright.
Anton’s body was no longer trembling as he cried as he looked at the moonlight shining on him.

-Paint the sky with night and carve the moon into it. as much as you want
Anton Ivanov chewed over Hanzo’s words over and over again.
‘Even if this place is in my image space, is that possible?’
He realized sensibly before hearing Hanzo’s explanation that the place where he was now was not an ordinary place.
There were no appearances of Shin Sung-ah and Namgung-ik, and of course Hanzo, who had been away, returned.
It was because there was a mysterious woman he had never seen before.
‘Moreover, this world is not completely my own image, but it’s a situation where that monster’s image is mixed in.’
Dooksini, a monster who steals his body and plans to resurrect him.
If Hanzo hadn’t come into the mental world and woke him up, he would have fallen asleep and never woke up.
In Anton Ivanov’s field of vision, the image of Hanzo fighting to keep the two hundred thousand feet tied was formed.
shake-
A fist that shakes the ground.
Hanzo was able to dodge that mighty fist by a single piece of paper.
‘I said I would buy Hanzo as much time as he needed.’
In other words, Hanzo has asserted that he cannot do more than earn time.
Anton Ivanov had to use the time he was earning to imbue this mental world with his own images.
He looked away from Hanzo and took in the scenery around him.
The densely overgrown trees and ground were not quite green like this, but the place itself was a place he knew very well.
‘Home forest. Among them, the forbidden region looked like this.’
The forest where the souls of the ancestors were enshrined, which he had only ever entered, looked exactly like this.
The place called the forest is inseparable to him.
I was born in the forest and grew up with him, and I only had a handful of times I went out of the forest until I entered the hero academy.
However, this forest no longer exists.
The memory of the childhood when he left behind the burning forest of his hometown was deeply imprinted in his mind.
after… .”
The scenery of the forest that has already disappeared remains only in his mind.
A childhood memory that had been forgotten for a while came to mind.
Memories came to him accordingly, but in the end, the last thing that passed through his mind was the last scene of the burning forest.
‘It was also at night when it happened.’
Anton Ivanov painted the night sky in his mind.
When he was young, he often watched the sky turn red.
The dark blue sky contrasts with the sky dyed red by the sunset.
I liked the time when the two heavens coexisted the most.
As the sun slowly descended, the shadows stretched out.
As the reddish sunset rolls across the horizon, darkness rushes in from the other side as if to fill the void.
It was a landscape buried in memories, but this was not enough.
‘The sunset hides over the horizon, and that’s how the night comes.’
The sun disappeared, and night came.
A pitch-black night where not even a ray of light exists.
However, the night sky he is embracing is not so dark.
He has no memory of a night sky where not even a single star exists.
sparkle-
Small stars like grains of sand reveal their brilliance in the night sky.
The night sky is adorned with unknown constellations.
But even that night sky was darker than he knew.

Just as the midday sun illuminates all things.
It should exist right in the middle of the night sky.
‘moon.’
The moon has magical powers.
And the instinct of a beast that was dormant in the blood of a beastman he was born with reacts to the moon and wakes up.
This peaks on the night of the full moon.
On the night of a full moon, the beast of a wolf becomes twice as strong as usual.
The moon is full.
Standing under the full moon, his body begins to change.
bloated body.
An elongated snout, prominent fangs, and sharp claws.
His appearance changes to that of a bipedal wolf.
＜Completely hand-painted＞
Unlike beastmen who can only change parts of their body, such as their arms or legs, they can change their whole body.
A rare trait that only a very small number of wolf beastmen are born with.
It was a full moon that he had pictured in his mind, but it gave him the same strength as the real moon.
But this alone was not enough.
‘Fully humanized’ is a rare trait, but it’s not the only one.
It was better than before, but his body was still trembling slightly.
The instinct that wrapped around his body gave a clearer warning.
-That’s not an enemy you can deal with.
I mean.
Anton Ivanov could now realize the difference in class that existed between Duuk and himself.
Although the full moon awakened the wildness that slumbered in his blood, he was still weak.
‘For me, the moon was the only existence.’
The moon in the night sky is one.
There were times when I thought so.
But not too long ago, I had the opportunity to see two full moons embroidering the night sky.
He eventually lost his reason in the overflowing wildness, but his senses at that time remain, albeit vaguely.
Thinking so, the moon in the night sky was no longer one for Anton Ivanov.
His night sky was brighter than before.
two moons.
The blood of the beast that runs through his body begins to boil.
It paralyzed reason, and the wild nature was trying to take its place.
‘In this blood… To be swayed by instinct, once is enough.’
Crush your fangs, you snout.
The two moons imparted incomparable power to his body.
The string of consciousness that I was barely holding on to.
Unlike before, even though he stood under two moons, he was swept away by the magic of the moon and did not lose his intelligence.
That alone gave Anton Ivanov the strength that Hanzo had been trying to achieve through training.
‘This is not enough.’
The trembling of the body stopped, but the trembling of the heart still remained.
ground that continues to shake.
Even as he carved the moon into the night sky, Hanzo continued fighting Doouk.
‘Don’t count this as a debt. Hanzo.’
Anton Ivanov is a character who cannot live without debt.
So, I think it will take a very long time to pay off the current debt.
‘one more.’
He carved a moon above the two moons.
three moons.
He portrayed a landscape he had never seen before with his mind.
“Ugh… .”
A moan escaped Anton Ivanov’s mouth.
A wildly beating heart was shouting.
Something I had never felt before was pouring out from the depths.
It was independent of Anton Ivanov’s intentions, and he tried to wield everything at his will.
Reveal your instincts.
Unleash the wild.
Stop thinking.
run amok
Those urges tormented him.
He bit so hard that his molars cracked and shattered.
“Two-”
Pieces of bloody molars spewed out of Anton Ivanov’s mouth.
The urge still stimulated him, but he endured it with the strength of his teeth.
He didn’t want to become a fool who was swayed by his own power.
Right after that, I started hearing voices that shouldn’t come from his body this time.
Wood deuk-
The appearance of Anton Ivanov began to change.
His swollen body, his appearance, which was closer to that of a beast than a human, gradually diminished.
“Aagh!!”
His body, which had been swollen due to ‘completely hand-painted’, became smaller to the point where it became similar to the original.
This also gave him a lot of pain, but he endured it.
Although his heart was beating more wildly than ever at the feral riot flowing in his blood.
There was still enough intellect in his eyes to spit out curses at the debt that had swollen like a snowball.
‘Damn it, how much debt will increase if I hit this.’
woo woo woo-
And Anton Ivanov looked up at the sky and howled.
The night sky with three moons was more beautiful than anything he had ever seen.
