209 Ch. 210 'Kazuto Is A Killer?!'

'Help!'

'Mommy!'

'Nooo!'

Niken was awakened by hysterical screaming voices with a slightly dizzy head.

She wondered what had happened to her? She tried to remember what had happened before she fell asleep.

She remembered going to the inner side of Beast Country and helping a fox cub. After that, she faced off against the rat beast, and her leg was bitten by a snake.

Niken gasped as she remembered that the poisonous snake had bitten her leg. She immediately checked her feet and breathed easily when it showed no signs of poison in them.

Even so, Niken was confused by her own body. She remembered being injured and being bitten by a snake, but why is her body alright? Was what she saw just a dream? But why does it seem so real?

Niken was still trying to digest what had happened before she fell asleep when she heard a child's scream.

'Huwaaaa! Mommy!'

Niken raised her head and realized she was no longer on the inner side of Beast country.

Instead, she woke up in the middle of a city where many people were screaming while running with terrified faces. Why are they acting like a monster is chasing them?

Niken was about to find a crying child when one of the residents ran towards her and hit her. Only, Niken didn't feel hit at all; instead, the person walked right through her body!

Niken was dumbfounded to see what had just happened. Niken raised both her hands and looked at her hands wonderingly. Is she a ghost now? Does that mean she's dead?

Niken pressed one hand against her chest to feel her heartbeat. Surprisingly, she could still feel her pulse, which was still beating. Only her pulse indicated that she was still alive and believed that she was not dead.

That meant she was in a different era. Again, Niken did time traveling without realizing it.

It's just that, before this, everyone could see her and touch her when she was doing time traveling. But now, no one saw Niken as if she wasn't there.

'Mommy!!'

Niken again heard the desperate cries of the same child's voice. She turned her gaze in all directions to find the figure of the little boy. She did not care that there were so many people passing through her body.

'Aaaaa!'

Niken covered her mouth with both hands when she saw the gore scene in front of her.

A half-human, half-wolf form appeared among the runners and tore off the prey's body. The monster figure has a wolf's head and hands like wolf paws. But the monster had a human body posture and walks on two legs like a human.

Only the head, hands, and feet took the form of a wolf.

Niken could see the half human-wolf killed the local people one by one, making Niken step back in horror.

'Mommyyyyy!'

For the umpteenth time, Niken heard the little boy. This time she could hear his voice clearly and immediately found the source of the child's voice.

Niken quickly turned to follow the little boy, and she saw the child running out of the raid area into an old hut.

There was a very beautiful woman dressed in pure white like an angel. Her hair was black like priceless ink and was left to dangle above her knees.

"Mommy!"

"My son, come here, dear."

For a moment, Niken was relieved that at least the child was safe with her mother, but what happened next left Niken barely able to breathe, and her heart almost stopped beating.

Suddenly five holes appeared from the woman's chest as the little boy approached his mother. The spot got bigger and bigger so that Niken could see five claws like the nails of a wolf.

The little boy instantly stopped his steps when he realized that five claws were appearing from the left side of his mother's chest.

Five small holes due to the claws enlarged into one large dark red spot, followed by a wolf's hand grasping a beating organ.

Niken's eyes filled with tears, and she felt her stomach twist like she was riding a roller coaster. If only she had eaten before coming to this place, she was sure, Niken would have vomited all of her guts right away.

As soon as the organ held by that hand stopped beating, the wolf's hand went back inside. The body of the lifeless woman was just allowed to fall in front of her son.

Niken was quite shocked by what she saw. She had never witnessed a live murder, although she had seen human corpses that ended tragically.

But what shocked her the most was the owner of the hand who had killed a weak woman mercilessly.

The hand's owner had the same hair color as the poor woman but was taller and had a powerful, dominant aura.

That person was none other than Kazuto!

Instantly Niken remembered her conversation with Flynn when she was still in the North continent.

"Why are you giving me advice like this?"

"In general, an Elementalist Knight should not use their power to injure or kill humans. Otherwise, they would receive punishment from the Hakim."

"I know it."

"That person… I smelled the blood from the black knight's hands. Your lover once killed a human."

"..."

At that time, Niken didn't believe it at all, so she didn't care about it.

But now…

Is it true that the young man he saw right now was Kazuto? Why did that man kill the innocent lady?

Why?

'Grrrrr!'

Niken felt goosebump all over her body when she felt the breath of something from behind her. As she turned around, she saw one of the werewolves standing right behind her to make her flesh crawl.

The half human-wolf raised his hand to make Niken protect himself by reflexively raising her hand to reveal his magic circle.

However, the wolf's movement was faster than her magic circle summoning. Her hand was injured, earning three long strokes from her lower arm to her elbow.

Niken closed her eyes to endure the pain in her hand, and that's when she heard someone calling her name.

"NIKEN!"
