Ronan pulled at the hilt of his sword. The light flowing through the sword suddenly intensified for a moment, and right in front of him, a Werewolf appeared in the empty space. Having practiced manipulating the Aura, he could now distinguish between simply emitting light and pulling his opponent towards him,

Kueh?!

The Werewolfs eyes widened as the gap suddenly narrowed. It was a creature with fur tied up like a beard on its chin. Ronan thought that perhaps he could end the fight with just this one creature. Although it had been murmuring about needing blood, it would be advantageous to end things peacefully, given the circumstances atop the Carabel.

Youre a prime specimen.

For a moment, Ronans hand holding the sword blurred. Swish! Dozens of red lines were drawn crudely in the air above the creatures body.

It was the moment when the blurry sword reappeared. With a soft explosion, pieces of flesh and piles of organs rained down on the ground. The Werewolves, who had been charging with a fierce momentum as if they could swallow the world, all stopped in their tracks.

Krraagh!

Kraaaghh!

As expected, fiery reactions followed. Ronan swung his sword, flicking off the entrails embedded in the blade. He pointed the tip of his sword at the pack of thieves and issued a warning.

Keep coming, if you wanna be turned into minced meat.

Uwaaah!

It was a demonstration of dominance to urge them to run away. It was evident to anyone but the most foolhardy that if one strike like that wasnt enough to deter the enemy, nothing would be. At the unexpected calamity, Marya, who was standing nearby, retched. Nowhere among the scattered pieces of flesh under the carriage could one find the original form of the Werewolves.

Kraaghhh

But sadly, they are just ordinary rogues. Even fiercer and more ferocious warriors were on their way. Ronan sighed as he looked at the Werewolves who chose the sad ending. Just as he was about to charge, a shot from a crossbow was fired from inside their carriage.

Kruhk?

Swoosh! The crossbow bolt flew straight through the forehead of the Werewolf charging at the front. It didnt even have time to realize its own death. As the magic engraved on the arrowhead activated, a fiery explosion occurred. Boom! With a resounding roar, the charred corpse soared into the air.

Oh, shit.

Before the dismembered body hit the ground, another crossbow bolt was fired, hitting the outskirts of the group of assailants charging. Thud! Thud! Thud! Pillars of fire erupted one after another, enclosing the thieves in a ring of flames. In the blink of an eye, the thieves found themselves trapped in a fiery fence, prompting Ronan to whistle in admiration.

Impressive.

Its nothing.

Are there more of them?

There are seven to the south from the central bonfire and five to the east. Oh, one just died, so four.

Ronan chuckled at Adeshans explanation. Her analytical skills were always impressive no matter when he saw them. In that regard, Shullifen would need to step up his game. She spoke again.

But since other mercenaries have already joined the fight, we dont have to worry. Given their skills, they should be able to handle it adequately.

If you say so, Sunbae.

Ronan nodded. With skills like hers, it was no wonder she became a General at such a young age. He looked at Marya, who was still dazed, and said,

Marya, well handle this here, so go to Duon.

What? With so many of them?

Marya furrowed her brows. Even if the two of them were skilled fighters, the numbers were too overwhelming. Having diligently attended Barens lessons, she knew well that the humanoid races could become extremely dangerous enemies if they harbored malice. The innate physical abilities and combat instincts from birth were factors that even the most trained warriors couldnt ignore. Amidst her hesitation, Adeshans voice came from inside the carriage.

Its okay. You can go.

Even if you say so, Unnie

Adeshans tone was full of confidence. Meanwhile, she gathered the fleeing assailants in one place. Marya nodded reluctantly. With a clang, she enhanced her stride with mana and leaped in the direction where Duon was. Ronan, watching her leap like she was flying through the sky, shook his head as if in disbelief.

Maybe shes actually a beastman, something like a Wereogre.

Hahaha, where would you find such a pretty beastman?

Sunbae is prettier.

Uh?

Adeshans hand, loading the crossbow, paused. It seemed like something very shocking had just been said. After swallowing once, she raised her gaze to where Ronan was and said,

Um, what did you just say

But Ronan didnt hear Adshans reply. Bang! Suddenly, the roof caved in, and the carriage lurched as if it were about to topple over. Caught off guard by the unexpected shock, she stumbled and fell backward, landing on her buttocks.

Graah! Dont touch my body!

The Werewolf roared. Ronan swiftly dodged its attempt to bite his leg, then flicked its nose with the hilt of his sword. Crunch! With a sound of breaking bones, the Werewolfs head drooped. Ronan grabbed one of its ears and growled softly.

Dont you understand the situation, you bastard? Answer properly or Ill kill you.

Krragghh

Being pridefull when all you do is kill people and rob them. If you answer me properly, I will spare your life.

Two thick streams of nosebleeds dripped down its snout. Ronan grabbed its ear and continued,

Okay, if you dont want to talk about the armor, how about something else? How did those stupid looking bastards end up looking like that?

Grrr Grrrgh

Ronan extended his finger and pointed to the corpse of a Werewolf they had just faced, one with a deformed right arm. As his gaze fell upon the Werewolfs face, it twisted savagely once again.

Kahak! Is that what you call a question? Since you humans came, our tribe has been acting strangely!

What nonsense is this?

After you humans came, everyone dies early! Even newborns look weird! Grrr, Ill kill you all! Youll all die!

The Werewolf began to thrash wildly, unlike before. Despite the whip stitched with metal pieces and blood flowing, it didnt flinch. It locked eyes with the four of them and shouted,

Remember, humans. Well tear your families, your friends, everything apart. Graaah! The Night of Fangs is near!!

What?

At the mention of the Night of Fangs, Ronans eyes widened. The Werewolf, crawling back up, rushed at Duon with its mouth wide open. It was faster than anticipated. It was just the moment Ronan was desperately trying to activate Aura.

Gruk.

Huhuoooagh!

The Werewolf, in the midst of rushing forward, suddenly stopped in its tracks. Its sharp fangs were just inches away from Duons throat. Ronan, noticing the Werewolfs irises clouded with an ash-like color, raised an eyebrow. Adeshan, standing right beside him, let out a sigh of relief.

Phew Thank goodness.

Sunbae?

Adeshans eyes emitted a faint light. It was a form of mental suppression using shadow mana. Perhaps she had reached that level now. Ronan muttered a sigh of admiration under his breath and swung his sword. With a swift motion, the Werewolfs head fell to the ground.

Now, can you control people too?

Ronan asked, somewhat incredulously. Adeshan shook her head. It seemed even she wasnt sure what she had done.

Well, I didnt expect it to work either. Maybe its because the Werewolfs condition was unstable. Anyway, just now

He mentioned the Night of Fangs. I heard it too.

Ronan nodded. Adeshans face stiffened. The Night of Fangs. It was the rebellion of the Northern beastmen, orchestrated by Zaifa, which had robbed the happiness of the young girl. Adeshan, calming her rapid breath, spoke up.

What could its near mean? Could it be?

Im not sure. Well have to report this.

Ronan stopped the Werewolfs head from rolling with his foot. He couldnt understand why the Night of Fangs, an event that had ended ten years ago, was being mentioned again.

But the Werewolfs words didnt seem like a simple threat. The oddly-shaped creatures and the claim that the tribe had been strange since the arrival of humans bothered him. Something unsettling seemed to be happening in the North.

Anyway, lets go back for now. Youve worked hard.

Yeah. You too. But Ronan, earlier, in the carriage

Adeshan trailed off. It seemed like she had heard something very pleasing, but he wasnt sure. Did he perhaps say something about her being pretty? Adeshan, who couldnt spit out that one sentence, lowered her head.

Uh, its nothing.

What is it? So lame.

Ronan chuckled lightly. They turned around and headed back to the camp. Between the clearing clouds, the moon and stars shone brightly in the night sky. The gentle moonlight enveloped the plateau covered in blood and corpses.

The cleanup didnt take long. As expected, the Carabel arrived in Rundalian around noon the next day. It was a small town mostly inhabited by beastmen, with a rare iron mine.
