South (1)
Winter planned to head to the place where I remembered that many dungeons were opened, if possible.
‘Because that’s the surest way for me, who is still weak, to rapidly develop my abilities.’
Of course, even if it is.
That never meant winter would be up for an adventure.
Blindly jumping into danger was an option only for those who couldn’t tell the difference between front and back.
Winter had young werewolves who now had a rightful share of responsibility.
The two mothers, Eve and Rubris.
Because it was winter when I knew what kind of face and expression we had in the last moments with our children.
He never meant to bring them sorrow.
‘If I blindly step into danger out of greed to grow alone, it would be a bad result for the whole group.’
Because it’s winter.
I was just thinking of stepping into an area where the whole group wouldn’t be in danger, where it would be stable and accompanied by sufficient growth.
‘Safely. Let’s grow only safely.’
Of course, even if it is, it is a wandering road that has been acquired.
I was willing to take a very small risk on my own.
Of course, it’s not really dangerous.
Just to the point where you can keep yourself and your group healthy enough at any time.
Sure.
In other words, it means to ‘squeeze and eat’.
“Kyaaa!”
In the winter snow that continues to think like that.
It contains young werewolves who are excitedly jumping among themselves in the distance.
“Ahahahahaha!”
Inari and Luna.
The two were playing hide-and-seek on a quiet highway, aiming for each other’s tail to see what was so exciting.
It was the timid Luna who mostly ran away and was chased.
On the contrary, although Inari was the one who actively pursued her tail hair.
Neither the one being chased nor the one being pursued showed signs of dislike.
Georeum looked at it and thought quietly.
‘Luna, somehow it gets brighter the further you go.’
Looking at her actively playing tag now, it was almost difficult to see her as Luna of the past.
Perhaps I was extraordinarily cowardly and timid before.
I thought that maybe it was because I was confined to the cellar and didn’t have a chance to move properly.
Hagi article How are you?
It was enough to just make the atmosphere bright and sunny.
My face was always dark and it was better than whimpering.
Now that I have less sniffles at night, there is nothing to worry about anymore.
The herd of winter has now formed a decent ‘rank’ of its own.
Winter stood at the very center.
To his left and right, his two sisters, Yui and Yumi, stood a little wider apart.
In the middle, we placed two young werewolves, Inari and Luna, so that they could respond immediately to the protection of the young ones at any time.
He felt the corner of his mouth creeping up on him.
‘As expected, everything I learned in the group is useful. I have nothing to throw away.’
Of course, it was a strategy that could be thought of commonly even in the days of humans.
But at the time, he hadn’t thought of everything in such detail.
Because he was a timid man who was in a hurry to survive day by day, and was very nervous about even one goblin.
And above all.
At that time, the ranks of the group meant the ranks that revealed the egotistical nature of human beings.
For example, the powerful leader of the party is the safest to stand in the center.
It’s like people who don’t really care if they die at any time and stand outside.
Human thinking is different from werewolves.
There was also a small party of comrades, but most of them were only concerned with their own safety.
In fact, it was a level that could not even be expressed as a rank.
It was just a shield.
It was then.
Hooung-.
The winter wind blew in from far away, coldly sweeping through Winter’s body.
‘Hmm?’
At that moment, Winter’s ears perked up a little.
He opened the corner of his mouth that had been reflexively closed.
Taking a little breath, he thought.
‘This is…’
His sharp wolf’s eyes light up in an instant with a blue light.
Because I found something.
‘I can feel the magic of something from far away.’
Instinctively feeling the presence of the outside world, he instantly shows signs of sharpness, and traces the reverberation of magical power carried from far away.
Body enhancement. Also known as the clairvoyant.
A hunter’s skill that concentrates the eyes on both eyes and gathers mana to greatly magnify distant objects as if watching through a telescope.
‘That’s…’
Soon, his pupils narrowed as he confirmed the identity of the other person far away.
In an instant, all the objects around you start to enlarge,
Far away. Standing on the other side of the highway, everything becomes clear as if they were facing each other right in front of their noses.
‘That. It’s shadow repair.’
Standing at the top of a tall building, facing the raging winter wind, was none other than a group of monster shadow repairs.
It was something I had encountered before.
When Winter and his sisters were still young, it was a type of flying monster that they would occasionally encounter from the lake where they splashed and played.
The distance with them was far.
But it wasn’t just their presence that Winter sensed.
He clearly saw through even the ‘invisible number of remainders’.
‘Not one or two. I think there are at least ten of them? Eleven. No, twelve. It’s a group of opponents.’
As long as they belong to living creatures in this world, no matter how much their numbers are hidden from view.
And as long as magic power exists in their bodies, they couldn’t escape Winter’s keen sixth sense.
Because the sense of winter was captured so clearly that it could be said to be a must under the assumption that it was a being with magical powers.
It’s all thanks to his characteristic, ‘Magic Sensing’.
It was natural that their bodies generally contained more than a certain amount of mana.
What Winter sensed was the existence of their magical powers.
Although they were ferocious predatory birds of prey, they were no danger to Winter and his sisters.
It’s an opponent I can handle.
‘Anyway, I and my group have to pass through that place to advance.’
A huge road for human traffic.
The highway continued for a long time.
It was only the building that stood on the other side of the highway that was blocked by the shadow repairs.
Friction is unavoidable.
But rather, Winter smiled, raising the corner of his mouth.
‘Tonight’s dinner is an eagle.’
Those ferocious predators sometimes become annoying opponents who get in the way.
If you look at it from a slightly different perspective.
On the contrary, he was a grateful partner who came to eat on his own.
* * * *
“Kaaa-!”
A monster in the shape of a giant eagle. Shadow repair.
A group of these guys so gigantic that they can reach a good 4 meters in length when their wings are wide open.
From the ground below, they pursued the woman who was running away screaming to avoid them.
“Ahahahahaha!”
But what is so interesting about it?
Although it was somehow strange to run away with a big smile. Well, whatever.
They followed the instinct of a bird of prey deeply imprinted in their instincts, making small footsteps and chasing the woman who was running on the road.
[Kiaaa-!]
[Kyaaagh!]
Spreading her huge wings wide, her swarm of shadowy eagles surged over her.
But before their sharpened claws of birds of prey reached the girl.
Damn it!
The Shadow Eagles were taken aback by the sudden appearance of dozens of ice arrows in front of me.
[Kyaaah?!]
[Kiaaa!]
I hurriedly flapped my wings to evade the dozens of arrows that appeared in front of them, which flew fiercely at the moment.
They were already so fast that even they couldn’t turn.
After all, a bunch of shadow repairs.
My body was pierced by those ice arrows as if they were almost rushing at me.
The group of shadow eagles screamed and fell headlong to the ground.
The top of the road was quickly stained black with the blood they shed.
The wings were broken, and the legs were broken.
The screams of half-dead shadow eagles echoed over the road.
[Kyaaa!]
They struggled and tried to get themselves up, but there was no way they could.
Because it was like being slammed into the ground with all your might.
Forward to them.
The woman who had just been screaming and being chased slowly approached.
“Uh-huh-huh.”
She was laughing. Very leisurely.
From noble mtl dot com
And behind her, besides her, a large wolf and three other small and large human women began to appear.
Leisurely.
The Shadow Eagles finally noticed.
That this was the perfect trap from the beginning.
[Kiaaa-!]
The Shadow Eagles, who had a premonition of the end, let out a mournful noise.
Once again, dozens of ice arrows that we saw earlier appeared in front of them.
Winter laughed softly.
‘Tonight’s dinner is an eagle.’
In the past, he was a winter man who was difficult to deal with even one.
Now, they were hunting in packs at once.
It was a moment when I felt a distinct growth.
