Werewolf Survival in Apocalypse chapter 14

New Talent (3)

‘Status window.’

As I muttered to myself, a translucent window appeared in front of me.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

[Status Window]

[Name: Winter]

[Race: Werewolf Male (Lycan Special Higher Species)]

Characteristics:

– Smell: Lycan species have an excellent sense of smell. Like a radar, it has excellent prey detection and enemy detection capabilities.

Beast Transformation: The ability to transform into a beast that exists only in some higher level beast species. It is possible to change between human form and beast form, and depending on the species, the changeable limit is variously divided.

Empty slot: O O

Possessed Points: O O

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

Status window.

It looked like something you would only see in a game.

Gazeing at the floating object in the air, Winter thought.

‘I still don’t know why it exists. I can’t even get a sense of what it is.’

Still, things haven’t progressed at all since then.

What is the reason?

I couldn’t get a sense of it, and there was no way I could catch it.

I still remember the notification window that came to mind then.

‘Call up the status window to clearly understand your level and situation, wasn’t it?’

But the message.

The day he was reincarnated here as a werewolf never came to mind again.

So if you think about the reason-.

‘Maybe it’s because I need a trigger for something. Or something specific must be met.’

Only holding on to questions that can’t be resolved.

It was a moment when I thought hard about it for a long time.

Bang-!

Suddenly, a loud noise rang from outside the nest.

I also felt vibrations with strong momentum, as if an earthquake had occurred.

“…Miu Miu?”

“How woong.”

In that intense vibration.

The two sisters, who had been asleep relying on each other’s body heat, gently raised their sleepy eyes and looked across the crypt.

Familiar noise. Also, a familiar smell drifted in from outside.

My mother was Yuhwarin.

Beastification of werewolves.

She took the form of that big monster, and this time, without fail, she came back capturing a big game.

It was still a prey of an absurdly gigantic size that would make your jaw drop.

Sure.

Sweeping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

She began to slowly shrink into a human form soon after.

When I met eyes with the children who were sending me sleepy glances from inside the nest, they smiled brightly.

It was a soft smile that I couldn’t believe belonged to someone who had been raging until just now.

Kwaduk! Awesome!

Behind her, the scene where a number of werewolves rush at their prey and eat it with their huge jaws is quite unbalanced.

The sound can also be said to be quite grotesque.

But she didn’t care about the sound coming from behind her back.

She went straight into the crypt.

Then her mother Yuhwarin.

She set something on the ground that she hadn’t been able to properly hold in her arms until now.

Paba Park!

As soon as I put it on the ground, it ran like crazy.

It was so quick that Winter didn’t even know what it was.

For a moment, I thought that winter was moving with its feet on a wad of cotton.

[Arr?]

To that sudden escape.

Winter, startled, stepped back in embarrassment.

He noticed it too late.

What she brought,

Beep!

It was none other than a living, animated ‘rabbit’.

The furry animal with long erect ears.

‘Rabbit? But… Why this?’

Winter went to a corner and stared at the trembling rabbit.

He showed no sign of fear or embarrassment.

Because a rabbit was just a rabbit.

I would have been embarrassed if it was something like a rather dangerous goblin, but it was a rabbit.

There was no human being to be taken aback by such herbivorous animals.

From noble mtl dot com

Of course I was puzzled.

I did wonder why Yuhwarin brought this to them.

But I don’t know the reason, so I just want to keep my eyes closed for a while.

Is it frustrating that he just watched the rabbit without any reaction?

“How uh uh.”

Suddenly, her mother Yuhua Lin, who had been watching the situation, stepped out.

She caught the winter and brought it to the rabbit who was trembling.

‘Mother…? Why is that?’

Winter is about to step back.

She took hold of him again and lifted him up.

As if to face the opponent directly.

[…Arr?]

After a moment of silence that only blinked his eyes.

In the end, even though Winter made her voice to express her own doubt, her mother, Yuhua Lin, just watched without any reaction.

“How!”

Then, beside her, her first sister, Yui, with her eyes wide open, approached.

My sister’s reaction seemed obvious.

The saliva dripping from the corners of her mouth seemed to recognize the rabbit as prey, even at a glance.

But.

“How woong.”

She, Yuhua Lin, shook her head with an expression of ‘no’.

Then he pushed away his sisters who were trying to approach him.

The only thing standing in front of the rabbit was winter.

And only then did Gyeo-ryeol realize Yuhwa-rin’s intentions.

I finally found out.

He thought while staring at the opponent in front of him.

‘You’re asking me to kill this rabbit.’

That too.

‘With my own hands.’

* * * *

A helpless opponent with no strength to resist.

And the act of killing such an opponent.

Suppose you must do it whether you like it or not.

Also, if it is a necessary act.

To be honest, it didn’t appeal to me at all.

For obvious reasons.

No matter how much he was reincarnated as a monster, he has the intellect of a human.

Even more so, if it was an action that required killing a small animal that was full of fear, it would have been an act that could not help but feel repulsive.

But nonetheless.

Winter noticed.

That means this is a necessary action.

‘There’s no way my mother would intentionally force me to do something like this for no reason at all.’

The reason was simple.

‘After all, this is the way of life for me and my pack of werewolves.’

They were predatory creatures. It was also a monster that lived on this land.

A monster that eats meat, not grass, when hungry, and drinks blood rather than water when thirsty.

To live as a member of such a group.

The act of ‘killing, no hunting’ was an element like a component of life that had no choice but to lead inevitably.

A bruise.

So winter took a step forward.

Gulp.

He involuntarily swallowed dry saliva.

Unexpectedly, the difference in body size between the rabbit and him was not that great.

The rabbit I encountered up close was unexpectedly quite large.

On the other hand, winter was at most small enough to be easily held in one’s arms.

‘Bird, bigger than I thought.’

To add a little bit of a joke, to Winter, the rabbit now reflected in his eyes looked like a giant rabbit.

It was because of the relative size difference.

But soon, he decided to trust his mother Yuhwarin.

There was no way she would have presented him with an opponent that was too dangerous for her.

‘Mother must have chosen someone I could deal with and brought her.’

While thinking so, I rushed towards the rabbit.

Kwaduk!

I bit him with sharpened molars.

Beep-!

The rabbit that had been bitten by the neck resisted violently.

It spurred the ground with its elongated hind legs and let out a shrill scream.

The resistance was stronger than expected.

But at that moment, Winter acted on the instincts of his own body.

[Arr!]

I feel something inside that has been sharpened up.

He tightened his jaw even more, revealing the face of a somewhat clumsy beast.

Sweetly, the inner teeth dug deeper into the nape of the guy’s neck.

Soon the winter’s even fur was stained with blood.

After frantically biting the rabbit and shaking it around, the rabbit soon became limp.

He was out of breath.

Involuntarily, I felt the taste of blood in my mouth.

The winter teeth haven’t grown yet.

Still blocky, and also ineffective. Because it is a young baby that has not grown up, its role as a beast has not been properly revealed.

Winter carefully sets the rabbit’s carcass down on the floor, trying to breathe heavily.

Suddenly, I felt quite a few gazes from beyond and turned my head.

[…]

[…]

There, before he knew it, other members of the pack that were preying on their prey were staring at him.

‘Why is everyone doing this? They don’t even eat prey?’

At that moment, I didn’t know the reason for the countless gazes.

Suddenly, his vision was greatly shaken.

Gasp

‘Eh, mother?!’

Winter was perplexed.

It felt like being assaulted out of nowhere.

“How!”

Yuhwa-rin, who had snatched him up at once, had held him with exceptional passion this time for some reason.

Unlike usual, it took quite a bit of energy.

A little, to the point of suffocating.

No, no. Little bit much to the point of suffocation.

Yes or no.

“How!”

Still, his mother Yuhuarin just hugged him with a hearty smile.

She For her, this winter’s achievement of successfully completing her first hunt was something she could be very proud of.
