Lair of Young Werewolves (1)
Choo!
Damn, the chameleon’s long tongue aimed at them like an arrow.
Winter, who was able to read magic, was barely able to escape the moment the attack started.
Yui, whose evasion ability was worse than that, couldn’t.
[Kwaaang!]
From noble mtl dot com
She screamed at once and was carried up into the sky tied by the tongue.
‘Yui!’
It was winter when she tried to chase her urgently.
Soon he could tell that something was wrong.
“Ah, ah!”
[…?]
The way she made a sound was somehow odd.
There was no sign of her suffering at all, and rather, there was only a smile hanging over her face.
“Ahahahahaha!”
Even Yui didn’t know what was wrong.
She laughed excitedly, even having her transformation into a beast in combat stance unraveled.
With his cheeks flushed red.
The corners of her eyes were wet.
She giggled so wildly that her body couldn’t stand it.
Kwadeudeuk.
Judging from the sound of her voice, it seemed that her strength in her tongue, which held her in its own way, was unusual.
However, the werewolf’s body was so strong that it didn’t seem like there was anything wrong with it.
It looks like it just feels like an extreme tickle.
‘What is it? Is there no damage at all?’
It was an absurd sight even for a winter to watch. The moment he paused.
It seemed that the chameleon who had attacked felt the same way.
[Kirururr?]
If it was really embarrassing, he would even take a look at Yui, who was giggling and even untangling his own invisible state.
[Kiruru?]
He brought Yui, who was now smiling even his face was red, closer to his face and looked at it.
He tilted his head and expressed his doubts.
Looking at it, the reaction was as if he was asking why the expression and shape he showed were intact without breaking.
Even in my own eyes, something that seemed absurd was revealed on the face.
That’s also true. Originally, most chameleons had a long, thick tongue as their main weapon.
Perhaps this monster is also one of those species.
However, even with the power of that tight tongue, there was no blow at all, but rather, if you just struggled as if it tickled you.
That meant that his attack would not work at all.
Soon, did you notice that fact?
The guy started to back away.
An extremely tough opponent whose own attacks do not work.
In that case, the only correct answer is to run away from the scene.
Of course, with the tongue still holding on to Yui as it is.
The guy’s eyes, which moved randomly, kept an eye on winter even in the middle of it. It was borderline.
But Winter was not someone who had only hunted once or twice.
As an excellent predator of these forests, I have encountered these signs time and time again.
If your opponent shows signs of running away, there’s no way he won’t notice.
‘Where are you going to run away!’
The two eyes of winter flashed blue.
His heart, which had become frozen and inward, began to release enormous energy and froze his legs.
[Kirurureu?!]
I can feel the look of a panicked guy.
But winter slowly approached the guy who couldn’t even move because his legs were frozen even if he tried to step back.
Took.
The terrified guy immediately put down Yui, who was holding onto his tongue, and began to tremble. The shadow of death fell behind him.
* * * *
After a while.
The hunt went smoothly.
“Aha, ahahahaha…”
And even then.
Yui was really laughing out loud.
She slumped and slumped on her place, as if she still couldn’t control her own body.
Her face was so red that if time had passed like this just a little longer, she might have stopped breathing.
[…]
Her winter stared at her and her own sister with narrow eyes.
Yes. He never even imagined that there would be a crisis like this.
* * * *
Jiik-. Jiik-.
In the middle of faded ruins.
There was a wolf carrying the corpse of a huge chameleon on its back.
Winter. He was dragging him back with him on his back.
Because it was so huge, the rest of the parts that couldn’t be carried were dragged on the asphalt ground.
At first, like other prey, he tried to hold it in his mouth.
But this guy had a rather peculiar temper.
‘I couldn’t believe the tail would be severed like that.’
This chameleon was a worse person than I thought.
It wasn’t just the tongue dripping with bodily fluids.
Something like protruding eyes,
Or even the tail, which cuts off powerlessly as soon as it is bitten.
Really, there was nothing ordinary about him.
‘I’ve heard that lizards and the like cut off their tails and run away…But I never thought that even this monster would have such a temper.’
Beside such winter, there was Yui, who was carrying him side by side with him on his back.
She had been laughing for a long time after finishing her hunt, but she seemed to have calmed down and returned to her original state.
It’s a fairly large prey, but it didn’t show any signs of being particularly difficult.
They were a race full of strength enough to carry and carry even the corpse of a much larger Kraken without any problems, and their solid strength and muscles always supported them.
Because of that, Winter was focusing his attention on something else even while carrying that heavy burden.
‘Shop window.’
With the call of winter, something translucent appeared before his eyes.

Looking at the characteristics, Winter had a strong interest.
‘As expected. As expected.’
It contained everything I had imagined.
Transparency. The character of the guy seemed to be quite usable at a glance.
I was worried for a moment that maybe that was what he was thinking, but it didn’t seem necessary.
As expected, it was an excellent assassination ability, becoming transparent and completely hiding the presence of even magic power.
‘Because the world is always unpredictable. It’s good to be fully prepared.’
They werewolves are creatures that are strong enough just by being born and growing naturally.
Nevertheless, no one can predict the future.
Just a few months ago, that was the case with the vicious existence they faced, Calamity Fenix.
‘I want to try using the stealth magic I used before, but…’
Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough anymore.
Currently, the winter was in a state where most of the effectiveness of magic, one of its greatest strengths, had been lost.
Three books of his magic.
All of them had been burnt to death, and thanks to that, he had lost some of his strengths.
Of course, his outstanding attack ability using his elemental power was almost the same.
Still, he was able to use and handle some of the spells that evoked cold and manipulative energy.
However, unless he had a very good memory.
Even the spells recorded in the book were not completely memorized.
‘In that situation, this would be quite a help. It might be enough to make up for my lacking parts.’
Let’s go through the ruins like that.
Soon, they found themselves in familiar quarters.
It was an apartment complex that they had used as a nest for the group just the day before.
“Ahh!”
I can hear the voices of his people shouting from far away.
A crowd was cheering them on, waving their hands vigorously.
Yumi and Yumi stayed behind to protect the young werewolves.
Inari and Luna.
Georeum and Yui, who faced them, were naturally happy.
I started to feel that I was back at home.
Naturally, the tail of Winter, who had safely finished hunting and returned safely, naturally gained strength and began to stand up.
‘From now on.’
From now on, this is their home.
