Hunting the Pack (1)
Tuk, thump.
Early dawn.
Winter woke up early to the sound of light rain resonating in my ears.
Let him look up and look out over the cave.
I could already see the rain starting to pour little by little since morning.
‘B.’
Kung. Thud.
The moment Winter saw that, his heart began to beat violently.
Little by little, his breathing quickened.
His eyes turned vertical, and his pupils narrowed little by little.
‘… It is raining.’
The insecurity that existed inside him slowly began to cast a shadow.
Anxiety set in.
Damn the black sun.
Fenix might be coming.

I don’t know exactly when he visited before.
One thing, one thing is certain.
They said he visited on a cloudy day when it was raining.
Kung. Thud.
The violent beating of the heart did not stop easily.
It’s because the dream of the dreamer I saw before is so vivid in my memory.
Dududuk!
Soon, the drizzle became a drizzle.
It doesn’t rain very much, but it’s not particularly small either.
Just right, the hair got wet just right, and it became a moderately annoying rain.
“Hmm?”
Within that.
Tuk-tuk, ignoring the raindrops that fell one or two drops, werewolves who had been sleeping all over the place woke up.
They soon entered the cave.
If not, I took shelter under a nearby tree to avoid the rain.
“Purrr!”
Some of them even shook the waterway noisily, just like any other canine animal.
This morning.
That’s how it started.
Eueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueu
A morning when the sun slowly rises.
Tak! Tadak!
The pack of werewolves warmed up lightly in the thin drizzle.
Some of them lightly pulled their bodies here and there as if they were doing gymnastics, and some of them relaxed their leg muscles by pretending to run in place.
Healthy and strong thighs instantly swell.
Their healthy beauty stood out for an instant.
And, following that figure, Winter jumped up and down as if he was running lightly in place.
It was because I knew from my experiences so far that the act of warming up is more important than I thought.
Everything needs to be prepared.
It becomes the strength to survive in the world, and sometimes it becomes a driving force as strong as their elastic smooth legs.
Today, for them, the pack of werewolves.
It was the start of a pretty record-breaking day.
A new kin has joined the pack’s hunting spree.
Winter was the main character.
So the one responsible for hunting in the ranks of the pack today.
It wasn’t Misoah, who was second in line, but her mother Yuhwarin, the leader of the group.
Misoah, who has been leading the group lately, has taken a step back today.
Since giving birth, she has been by the side of Eve and Lunaris, who are still weak.
“Hmm.”
My mother Yuhwarin.
She looked a bit worried at the sight of Winter warming up her body.
It was a question in the sense of whether you were okay.
[Arr!]
Seeing her mother, Yuhua Lin, looking at herself and at her eye level, as if concerned.
Winter replied confidently.
His voice was full of confidence.
Although there was a bit of anxiety mixed in around the morning, it was because he knew that it couldn’t be like that forever.
If you want to change the future where the answer is set, you have no choice but to work harder than that.
That’s the only way winter can do it.
For the sake of the group that had taken care of him until now, he had no choice but to put up with fear and step forward himself.
But true.
Already winter he knew.
That he had to go out into the wide forest and the world beyond.
‘Today I must go outside. To the human city.’
There was no answer at all.
Invisibility, the previously implemented invisibility magic.
But that was nothing more than unstable magic.
It was all about making part of the forepaw barely transparent.
Winter changed the formulas here and there, making some changes to the magic, but nothing drastically changed.
It was just that the left foot became the right foot, and the right foot became the back foot, becoming a little more transparent.
There were no major changes.
Of course, that alone was enough to cause astonishment to wizards.
Because it was not easy for even those with most magical talents to implement such a simple magical formula.
However, from a systemic point of view, the controversy of such a point of view could not be formulated for Winter, who could be said to have already unlocked most of his magical abilities.
The magic he couldn’t use was simple.
‘Something I can’t use because I don’t know magical formulas, and something I can already know, memorize, and use.’
That was all.
It was such a simple expression, but that was the effect of the inner sweetness that winter had ingested and swallowed.
To make it possible to activate it unconditionally regardless of how difficult it is to link it directly to the system and realize it in reality.
That is the true existence and effect of magical properties.
That’s why I had to step in.
I had to join the ranks of the crowd and go out with them.
The world beyond, to which Winter himself once belonged.
To the human city, which is now in ruins and everything has collapsed.
But it was winter when she answered her mother, Yuhua Lin, as if it was okay.
My heart wasn’t that good.
On the contrary, I could say I was a little nervous.
The winter snow trembled.
‘I don’t have much time. The more time delays, the more disadvantaged it is on my side.’
I think I’ve heard of it sometime.
Some of the magics of wizards can spread invisibility magic over a wide range.
However, it is a memory that seems to have been heard in the wind at first glance, so even Winter is not sure if it was true.
‘But I have no choice but to go out nonetheless. I have to find it unconditionally.’
Kwakduk.
Winter closed his chin tightly.
His molars were biting off, grinding his teeth.
No matter what kind of magic, you have to find it at random.
There was no other answer.
Find clues.
If you don’t do that, the only thing you will face after that is the cruel end of the group.
‘My magic. I will complete it somehow.’
The eyes of winter gave off a strong light.
Eueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueueu
Bang-!
The ground rumbles.
A group of werewolves, including the leader Yuhwarin, ran through the dense forest.
They pass through sharp leaves and bushes casually.
Their elastic skin was firm enough to easily ignore even sharp leaves at first glance.
[Kururu!]
[Kong!]
The higher-ranking individuals who occupy the front row of the pack are in the form of werewolves.
On the other hand, the less capable individuals of the lower rank ran through the forest in human form.
For those werewolves, the drain on energy was of a rather dramatic nature.
Because the longer they were in the form of beasts or wolves, the more energy they consumed, so it was always up to the highly experienced higher-ranking individuals to guard the front row of the pack.
Everything is free in the forest.
Wherever they went, no matter which way they headed, there was nothing to limit or stop their group.
However, threats existed everywhere because this free forest also had its own ecosystem.
It was the kind of thing that even they couldn’t be sure when and where danger would emerge and monsters would attack.
Although their excellent sense of smell and senses aid them, they cannot always be trusted.
Because there are various monsters in the world, and there are as many variables as there are.
Tadak!
Through trees and bushes, their elastic legs leaped as if flying over a distance of several tens of meters at a time.
The scene reminded me of bullets.
It meant that it was as quick as shooting.
And at the very front of the ranks.
The leader Yuhwarin is in charge of the vanguard of the ranks.
“… ….”
Bang-!
It flew through the air with its elastic thighs and looked backward.
Where Yoo Hwarin’s eyes reach.
Her young children followed from the back row.
Gyeol and his two sisters, Yui and Yumi.
I could see them following from the back of the ranks, barely not lagging behind.
“Hmm.”
There was a faint but clear smile in her mother Yuhua Lin’s eyes.
As expected, her immature children seemed rather clumsy to follow.
Even though they are children who are growing up now.
As expected, he still showed signs of being young.
