Chapter 375

[Urgh... Grahhh...]

Dawon’s hand, gripping onto Sung Yi-hwan’s head, tensed. I could see one of his fingers denting the werewolf’s forehead.

Sung Yi-hwan shed tears of pain and frothed at the mouth; his eyes rolled back. But, Sung Yi-hwan’s body, still emitting a robust bloodthirst, charged at Moon Issak.

Crash–!

The ground, where Moon Issak had stood just earlier, caved in when the werewolf’s fist hit it. However, Moon Issak’s face wasn’t anxious or tense as he avoided the attack. Rather, he glanced at Seo Dawon as if he found the Mage absurd before holding out his palm towards Sung Yi-hwan, who was just about to rush at the investigator once more.

“Just who do you think made that thug a werewolf?” Moon Issak sneered.

‘They mentioned a baptism, right?’

I was reminded of what Sung Yi-hwan said earlier, when he was drunk on his own power. In other words, Moon Issak could give someone tremendous power that allowed them to continue living even if their head was torn off.

However, Seo Dawon didn’t react–neither fear nor interest–to Moon Issak’s words.

[Ahhhhhgh–!]

He merely squeezed Sung Yi-hwan’s head, as if he were wringing a towel.

Dark blood began to flow from Sung Yi-hwan’s nose. The headless body also began moving at the same time. Recovering from its long pause, the body swung its claws and attacked Moon Issak again.

“Tsk. It seems you don’t realize your own futility,” Moon Issak looked at the Mage as if the Mage were pathetic and flicked his finger.

[N-no...!]

At that moment, Sung Yi-hwan groaned in despair, and his body, like a puppet with its strings cut, dropped to its knees and collapsed. The stiff fur that had sprouted all over his skin began to shed, revealing an increasingly grotesque sight.

[Moon Issak-nim! Please... If you withdraw your power now, I’ll die!]

Despite the tearful pleas, there was no sympathy on Moon Issak’s face. Sung Yi-hwan continued to scream in despair.

[Nooooo–!]

However, the shadow of death had already descended. Just then, the body collapsed; a purple tongue stuck out from his head. And, on his forehead, a symbol of an inverted cross emerged: a reverse imprint of the symbol on Moon Issak’s palm.

‘Did Moon Issak really make Sung Yi-hwan into a werewolf?’

I watched the investigator carefully, wary of what other abilities he was hiding.

Unlike me, though, Dawon silently gazed at Sung Yi-hwan’s head as if he weren’t interested in Moon Issak’s movements at all. Then, he chewed Sung Yi-hwan’s ear.

“What...” Moon Issak began.

“......!”

Not just Moon Issak, even I was confounded by this mysterious turn of events. However Seo Dawon calmly chewed the ear before whispering to Sung Yi-hwan’s corpse in a sweet voice... like a devil.

“Don’t overdo it.”

“It’s alright...”

I pulled at Koo Hui-seo, retreating with the ex-chimera. Koo Hui-seo flinched within my arms, but he obediently and gently pulled back his tentacles. In his place, Lackey stepped up and blocked our front.

However, at that moment, Sung Yi-hwan’s arms, which had been hugging the shield, exploded.

[Urgh.... Ugh...]

The Ghoul was now burnt to a crisp, making it hard to discern its original human shape. As expected, a ghoul made by a servant would find it difficult to hurt Moon Issak.

But...

“[Gravity]”

As soon as Dawon-ie used his skill, Moon Issak’s body, which had been shining brightly, trembled before bending at the waist 90 degrees...as if he were bowing incredibly politely. Despite Moon Issak’s efforts to straighten his waist, eerie cracking noises echoed around the room, and his posture remained unchanged.

After watching that scene for a few seconds, Dawon pointed his elegant staff at Moon Issak again. “[Gravity].”

As the spells overlapped, the range of the golden magic circle beneath Moon Issak’s feet expanded.

The ground began to sink and split in a circular pattern from the point where Moon Issak stood; deep cracks started to form. The building shook as if an earthquake was occurring. In the center, Moon Issak, still maintaining his bent posture, lifted his bloodshot eyes. “You bastard...!”

“[Gravity].”

However, Dawon merely used his skill for the third time. In the end, Moon Issak’s knee bent, and his head almost touched the floor. It was as if someone was trampling on the investigator’s back. Even so, Moon Issak still glared at the Mage and bared his teeth.

But...

“[Gravity].”

Accompanied by a popping sound, blood began to flow from both of Moon Issak’s eyes from the weight of the compounded gravity spell.

Moon Issak’s body was completely flattened, as if he were a crushed bug. The sight was absolutely gruesome–like someone had stepped on a can and crushed it. Only then did Dawon lower his staff and glance at the place where Moon Issak lay. “I know you’re invincible.”

“......”

“I’m glad. I still have plenty of skills I want to use on you.”

As if waiting for those words, Moon Issak’s body began to tremble. Subsequently, something white sprouted from his body, as if his skin was frosting over. My eyes widened as I watched Moon Issak, still shaking, rise from the ground.

[Howwwl....]

He stood, stepping on his broken glasses with his front feet. Before long, a silver wolf–much bigger than Sung Yi-hwan–appeared in front of us.
