Enjoy the story
It is already dawn when cerebrate go to the castle. He is the leader of crystal tear. That team is being praised and gaining more popularity since they become the one that keeping the beastman attack in the draconic kingdom. Even if they can defeat the beastman attack something doesn't feels right with those beastman. Their team successfully captured a beastman in their last mission. The information that they got start to give them clue on what is might be happened.
He went to the castle with a bit of excitement. It is not only for the information that he got to from the beastman. But, it is that he can meet with the queen again.
Everyone would be happy if the queen of a country recognize them and allow them to come to the castle anytime. But, he chooses not to do so as it would be weird for the other to come just to meet the queen. So, he prefers to use the mission or anything as the reason to meet with the queen. And with the beastman attack being so frequent it is not hard for him to meet with the queen now. He is kind of glad with what is happening right now in the kingdom.
Without the beastman attack surely it will be hard for him to raise his rank among the adventurers. But with the recent attack he finally can enjoy his hard work like now. For someone with the talent to fight it is a blessing for him. But for those who can't. He can only feel pity for them.
Finally he arrived at the throne.
"Your majesty, i come for the report"
"Oh is there any interesting news?" the queen asked curiously with cute voice.
"Yes, from the last beastman attack in the frontier village we successfully captured a beastman that seems to be the leader of the attack. And from that we acquired some information about them. But sadly in the process of interrogation he manage to suicide"
"So what did you get from this beastman?"
"It seems that the beastman capital has been attacked by soul eaters."
"Soul Eaters? So, there are more than 1?" the queen asked while tilting her head a bit
"Yes, from what we got it seems that they've been attacked by 3 of them. With this we now know why they keep coming to attack the village. They all desperate to find food"
"Just that?"
"Yes. Even with that information it that information it is still not explained why they attacking the adventurers too. The chance for them to get killed is higher than just attacking the villagers."
"It is true, also did you notice that there are also many adventurers that rather than getting killed they are captured instead?"
"I'm not sure for that. Maybe so there will be no need for them to hunt for a while"
"Maybe you're right. So, have you talked about it with the guild master?"
"I already did. We hope that we can do something about it. So may help to stop the beastman attack on the kingdom"
"There is nothing that we can do for now except defending from their attack. Also with the Theocracy arrival today they will be a huge help to defend the kingdom. Oh yeah you both will be going to the front tomorrow right?"
"Yes that is true, but this time I will go alone. They've had a rough mission last time. I'm intended to give them some vacation"
"Be careful there you are our strongest team to defend the attack right now. But since you are with the Theocracy it should be alright"
"Thank you for your concern your majesty" he said with a smile to the queen.
There is a bit of regret in the queen to say such word after see him smile. But, this is for the kingdom. She need to do it after all.

.
Bagon is wandering around it is almost night. He already visited the market but since it is almost night there is nothing left interesting in there. He decided to look around a bit more. While walking he is thinking on how he actually enjoyed his journey until now. It seems that his life feel much more interesting now. How everything like this can only be found on games. He still feels shame that his friends cannot experience such thing. He wonders what the others are doing now. Are they realized that now he is not there anymore.
Thinking about it will only make him missed them more. So he decides to take a look around for more. But, it is already dark. It will be suspicious if someone sees him wandering around. So he use {meld} and start to walk around. Since he don't want any accident like before he also equipped the ring.
Maybe he should go to the forest and start to hunt around. He should have stock of "food" or in this case meat or anything that can be eaten to his inventory. He thought it is good since he can test if food or organic things will be rotten in the inventory since the inventory is in a separated space.
I guess that would be a good experiment.
So, in the night he is starting to hunt in the forest around the city while being invisible. After a while he cannot found anything in the forest.
Huh, this is weird. Why is there nothing in the forest? There supposed to be monsters or anything in the forest. I'm already turned off my passive right?... Maybe I need to go deeper.
After a while he keeps wandering deeper in the forest finally he heard something moving.
He slows down and quietly moving toward the sound. He started to get closer as the footstep. It is quiet footstep but since become a werewolf his hearing become more sensitive with sound.
The sound becomes clearer as he move forward. Then, the footstep starts to move away behind him and start to faint away.
Wait did I missed it?
He then look back then he saw some of the leaves are moving even there is no wind in the forest.
Maybe it is invisible? Let try it then.
He doesn't have any divination magic to reveal invisible enemy. Using item for now would be a waste. But, he needs to have counter measure for it. He then use {Flow mist} a skill that will release thin mist in a large area with the caster at the center. It is used to shorten the view of the enemy and detect invisible enemy while it cannot fully reveal the invisible unit the caster will get notify of where the enemy are as long they are inside the mist as the skill description from the game is written.
But, in the mist it felt like he has a map inside his mind. Now he knows everything in that mist area. Also it seems that he can control the thickness of the mist. That is probably going to be handy in the future. He set the mist to be pretty thin so that the creature wouldn't notice. But, it seems that the thicker the mist the more he can feel the movement in the mist. So, he increased the thickness a bit more.
Now he can feel the source of the footsteps. It is come from a creature that standing and walking carefully to not making any noise. But, that it is pretty useless for the creature now.
Maybe he should capture this creature. It is quite rare since coming to this world that he saw a creature can use skill to make themselves invisible. Maybe that talent also applied to the demihumans and monster too.
"{Abyssal thorn}
He then used the skill and wraps it around at what he thought as the feet. Soon, the creature felt something wrapping around its feet. The creature starts to panic and try to run away. But, the vines that wrapping around its feet is quicker so when he tried to run away the creature tripped and fell to the ground.
"Whaa... What is this?" The creature apparently can talk.
Bagon then revealing itself from the darkness. What is weird that he doesn't really scared but instead the creature yells at him.
"Hey what are you doing release me now!"
"Huh?"
Then he realized that this creature is a beastman.
What is it doing here in the kingdom? Are they trying to spy the kingdom?
While Bagon is thinking, then the beastman realize something.
"Wait, how can you see me? I'm supposed to be invisible"
The creature word then make him realized that he was in his beast form so that's why he is not scared. But now, this guy should be scared. The creature now releases the invisibility. Now the creature can be seen. The head is like chameleon with yellow skin wearing leather armor that seems pretty good even for low level armor. In fact it is much better quality than Bagon leather armor right now.
"So you are the beastman that attacking the village I heard around"
"Wait you are a beastman too right? Why should you ask something like that…*sniff* *Sniff*"
His words cut as he smells something different with the guy in front of him...
"You… you're not a beastman are you? You do smell like beastman yet I smell human from you and something else"
"So you noticed? What are you doing here in the kingdom?"
"Ha, you will not get anything from me. Go on kill me already"
I knew this will be difficult. If only I can do something so that he will obey me… wait I did have it right. He is a beastman maybe it would work on him.
Bagon activated {Alpha's Pride}. Suddenly the beastman fell silent. Just a moment before he knew something was off with this guy that captured him. But now, the only thing he felt now is sudden chill and fear. He is not even dare to look at his capturer in the eye. He still trying to resist the fear but he can't. He already experience fear before and It was when the soul eater attacking the capital. Even so it when he try to compare it now. The soul eater seems better compare this guy in front of him.
Bagon lean over the beastman and talk with a low tone.
"So…, do you want to help me now?" Bagon asked the beastman as the thorn become tighter wrapping the beastman.
.
Bagon increase the intensity of his passive. Now the beastman is frozen even more. If he is a human he must be drenched in sweat. In a while the intensity starts to diminished.
"If you are going to resist. I will make it even longer. So tell me everything you know"
In the end of the interrogation the beastman seem mentally exhausted after being forcefully dominated by his passive. Even if it's only a fraction the effect is a bit too much for him to handle. In the meantime the beastman don't care anymore. He don't even care what will happened if his clan know that he is going to betray them for serving him. Because after all those interrogation he finally know that he would rather die serving him rather than served those undead being. Since the moment he show his aura he sure that he is even stronger than those undead. Ever since their king died the only thing they do all this time is just to survive and there is no pride in doing that. This guy in front of him maybe can help their kingdom and so, he decided.
"Master!"
"Huh. Why are you calling me that?"
Even when he is still stuck. His free head is try to give a bow.
"From this time I will serve you
Hmm, I should get Rigrit over here. She know more about the situation in this place than me.
"Listen. You are going to stay here. Do not try to escape. I'll be back soon"
After Bagon left the beastman is finally can start to relax. Even with his state right this is the most relaxed rest he can ever get after all this time. And slowly he slumped and fell to sleep.
.
"Huh it's morning already. Am I really wandering that long?"
He can see the beastman still quiet in the distance. He is not going anywhere for a while. But, he have to get Rigrit immediately.
Finally he gets into the city without anybody noticing him teleporting there. It is easy because there are not many people going out in the street yet. He decided to walk around once more while waiting.
Now that he think about it. he haven't get to eat since last night. Since he is spending the night hunting in the forest for nothing added with the beastman that he met. It seems that he will have to find some food in the market.
I guess nothing wrong with buying meat at the market.
He go to the market trying to find some merchant that sells meat. After walking for a while, finally he found one just near the adventurer guild.
"Excuse me, how much it is for this meat?"
"Oh, this one here is 2 silver coins. You want to take one?"
"What? That is quite expensive. Can't you lower the price?"
"Sorry I can't. You know that there are a lot of beastman attacks now. Getting meat right now is getting harder. We hunters are having hard time in hunting right now."
"Hah, ok then" Bagon take out the coin pouch.
Hmm it is a bit lighter than I thought. How much that I have left then?
He open the pouch only to found the he only have copper coin left. He still have some but, he need to save some in case of emergency.
Should I just left. I don't really need the food right now too.
Still deciding should he buy the meat or not suddenly someone came from behind him.
"Let me pay for the meat"
Bagon looks confused then he ask the man that just suddenly came out and pay for the food.
"Uhh do I know you?"
"Oh I'm sorry I just overheard things before. I didn't give proper thanks before so, thank you for saving me" the man said with a bow to Bagon.
"Wait, don't do that. Do we ever meet before…? Wait; are you the guy that fell yesterday when the basilisk attack?"
"Yes, that was me. My name is Ranco Erlend Rebane. Just call me Ranco by the way"
"My name is Bagon Greymane. Thank you for paying the meat. You shouldn't have to do it you know"
"just consider it as my thanks to you for saving my life I know it is not enough but, that was all that I can do for now"
"That is already more than enough. So, what are you doing then? You not get up this morning just to pay me the food right?"
"Haha of course not. I just finished buying some supplies before get going again this morning"
"Oh you all about to go? I thought you just got here yesterday. It's okay to get some break you know."
"*Sigh*, I really wish something like that too. But, we all on a mission now. There is nothing we can do for now"
"If we meet again let's hang out together. That would be fun"
"Yeah. By the way I have to go now. I'm gonna get scolded again if make them wait again for too long. See you later"
"Bye. And thank you for the food"
Huh, they doesn't seem to be that bad. Maybe Rigrit just get bad luck in meeting people.
"You two seem to get along"
A voice coming from beside him.
"Huh, Rigrit? Where were you this whole time?"
"At the castle you don't have to worry about me. I warned you not get too close with them…. Actually its ok, at least I'm already warn you"
"You in the castle the whole night and not telling me? I'm in the forest the whole night just to find some food. Also, why did you hate them this much? It's ok to don't like someone but, you might a bit too much"
"Enough with that. I don't want to hear any of this anymore. We are about to get going soon. Prepare yourself now… what is it?"
"Uhh about that I think I made a bit of problem"
"Say it?"
"There is actually someone that requesting me to escort her to the border. She said she will pay us if we did so"
"And you accept the request?"
"No, I not really accepting it but she said she will be waiting at the guild"
"We should leave her. She have nothing to do with us"
"But, I feel bad for leaving here like that. Can't we just wait for her then go?"
"And then what? Leave her in the forest like that. If she can go back by herself why is she need your help in the first place?"
"That… uhhh… she said that she can take care of herself on the way back. Not sure how….. I'm sorry okay. She just suddenly asked me for that. I'm not even say yes to her"
"She doesn't really matter that much. So, we can just leave her here. You know where we will be going is dangerous. We cannot afford to risk another person this time. Plus, you might going to lose control on the way. Imagine what would…"
"Okay, okay stop it I know. It would be more dangerous to bring more people with us.*sigh*"
"If you understand you should leave her. Now let's go"
"Oh yeah talking about where we will be going I found someone that might help us go to the beastman kingdom."
"Really? I thought nobody dare to go near the border…"
A girl voice coming from behind him
"Whaaa! When did you come here?"
"I'm already here for a while you know. It's still early in the morning and you already discuss about how to get there? I'm glad that i pick you for this. Where is your glasses huh? I thought you wearing glasses?" she said with a smile.
That's weird. I didn't feel her presence at all. Bagon found it weird that he didn't notice her. He did smell her scent all this time in the market but didn't remember that the scent belong to her
"I don't always wear the glasses. Wait, it is not that. We not discussing about that. It's just that our destination is heading toward he same direction. So, Rigrit this is the girl that I talk about"
"Just when we are about to leave here" Rigrit sighed
"Oh Bagon so this is your friend? My name is Rhesta nice to meet you"
"Name is Rigrit. Sorry for being rude but we cannot take you with us"
"Ehhh. But I thought Bagon is already agree"
"Well I never say that I agree right"
"Don't worry I will pay you guys. You still take me with you right?"
Rigrit seems to be out of patience now.
"Listen kid. It is not about the payment. You know the situation right now will be too dangerous for you to go. So, if you want to keep alive you better not go with us"
"Hmph fine then. If you want to go. Just go then. I can find another people that will take me to there"
He then grumpily walks away from them.
"Jeez Rigrit. You should go a bit easy on her you know"
"If not she might going to stick with us. I can see that she is that type of a person. It is good that I am the one that push her away so you don't have to feel guilty about it."
"Still you might need to soften up a bit. You've been quite temperament since yesterday you know"
"Oh, really? If only we not met with the Theocracy I might going to cheer up a bit"
"Okay then fine. I'm ready to go now. I don't really have anything important to bring now anyway" Bagon took the meat that he just bought or Ranco just bought to the inventory without anyone noticing.
"Just before you said you got someone that will help us right? Who is this guy?"
"Oh yeah almost forgot about that. I met with him, while scouring through the forest. He was waiting in the forest right now. It just that we might cannot met with him here"
"Why not? I thought that the city is the safest place right now"
"Well he is technically cannot enter the city because of certain things. Maybe you can see it why"
"Fine then. We go in an hour. I still have stuff to buy. Just wait for me at the gate."
"Got it"
After an hour of preparation they finally go to the forest. Bagon take the lead as he know where the beastman is. After a while they finally reached the place.
"So, where is this guy that you talk about?"
"Master… is that you?"
"Who is that?"
Finally she saw him. A beastman is being tied with black vines stuck at the tree.
"Are you sure that he is going to help?"
"Huh you're not that surprised huh?"
"I already have some ideas in mind. It is as expected. But, how did you find him?"
"He is scouting near the kingdom when I found him. He is to report when there is an adventurer team that go to the wood or doing mission near the border. That is when they attack the adventurer and capture them. When I ask why they capture them he really doesn't know anything else"
"How you make him tell that? And what's with these master things?"
"I did some interrogation to him. I also activated my passive. Since I'm not really a human maybe I have the ability to dominate them. I'm not sure but that's what I know from the description and apparently it is working"
"I'm not sure what are you talking about. But, if you say so I guess it is ok to release him. And with the situations in the beastman kingdom I guess it is not safe to go there without a guide"
"Ah so you agree with me lets go… Who's there?"
Bagon talk was cut because he caught something along in the wind. He smells the air. It felt like he already know this smell. So he follow where the smells coming from.
Then he moves the leaves and bushes around just to get a surprise.
"What the…! What are you doing here?"
Rigrit followed from behind.
"Wait Bagon what is…you! Why are you following us?"
To Rigrit surprise it was Rhesta crouching behind a bush with defeated smile after being caught.
Rhesta also surprised when he saw that there is a beastman tied with black vines behind them
"Hey Bagon is that a beastman?" she asked try to shift the topic.
"You not asking even more question. How can you even follow us? I didn't know you were following at all until your scent carried by the wind"
The smell? Is he have a sharp nose? She thought.
"Okay you got me. Actually i have talent that allows me to reduce my presence. It is not like becoming invisible but those who have sharp senses usually cannot feel me at all. How do you think I can raise my rank up to this huh?" she proudly tell him
Rigrit then start to yell at her.
"What is that even supposed to mean? Even if you have that talent it doesn't mean you will be save. *sigh* whatever. Whatever it is, you already followed us. It is a waste of time if we try to get back to the city anyway"
"Yesss. Thank you so much"
She became so happy when Rigrit has to give up on this girl.
"But remember, even if you with us you have to take care of yourself. We cannot protect you all the time"
"Yes mam. So what's with the beastman? What is it doing here?"
"He will be our guide to the border. You have any problem with that?"
"This is our guide? He will kill us if he had the chance"
"Hey watch your mouth human" The beastman protest to her.
"Young lady for someone that asking for help you quite noisy" Rigrit is getting annoyed with her.
"How can you trust him?
"I will not betray him" The beastman yelling at her.
"Hey, behave yourself"
"I'm sorry master"
"Master? Did he just call you master?"
"I did something to him so now he will obey me. Don't ask me on how I did it"
"Weird. Is this some kind of magic? And what is that black vines? Is that your magic? Are you a druid too?"
"Rhesta seriously. If I ever hear you asking questions again I will take you myself back to the city"
"Sorry"
"Now stay quiet and keep walking"
Now they continue their journey to the beastman kingdom with Bagon and the beastman that leading the way. They travel through the forest until afternoon. There is nothing much in the forest. The journey continues without obstacle. At least on the way Rhesta is not asking more questions or getting annoying. But, she still doesn't feel comfortable with the beastman walking along with them. They stop until they find a place to rest.
"Master. I suggest that it better not to start a fire as it will easier for us getting ambushed by the other"
"That makes sense. Thanks for the warning. You hungry? Here take this" Bagon take the meat that he bought from the market and throw it to the beastman.
From the first time he saw Rishru he can tell that this guy haven't eat that much until today
"Thank you master. How generous of you"
"Don't think anything weird about it. I just don't want you to suddenly eat my friends when they rest"
"Oh I will not harm any of your friends master. Besides I don't really like human meat at all"
"Oh I thought beastman all like to eat human?" Rhesta asked the beastman.
"Who said that? There are some that like human but not everyone like that"
"If so then, why you guys capturing human?"
"Just tell everything to them. And by the way do you have a name? Calling you beastman just felt a bit weird" Bagon asked the beastman
"My name Rishru Saarthu. I'm a scout from beastman kingdom. Maybe you already know that our capital got attacked by soul eaters. Our greatest warriors are all trying to take them down but it is no use. Even with the sage on our side is not enough until suddenly a lich come to the city and make everything even worse. That lich is the one that order the soul eaters to attack us in the first place"
"For the lich can control soul eaters is already powerful. Why didn't you try to fight back?"
"We already did. But, the attack cost the lives of our warriors and our king. The rest of our people and are forced to serve him. We are not afraid of death. But knowing that we will just become a puppet if we died we don't have any other choice. But after some times our people are starting to change since they are allowed to eat humans once again. The sage even now serves as the royal blacksmith for lich. We didn't know what happened to him but then he starts helping the lich with its plan. And the rest of our people are just following the order. The first attack is already killed our strongest warrior and what hope do we have. We are trying our best to survive. From what I heard there is some kind of deal being made between the sage and the lich. That's why even some smaller clans like us can still survive"
"Rigrit. The situation is even worse than we thought" Bagon whispered to Rigrit
"I know. But why he didn't contact me?" Rigrit said with concerned expression.
"So what happened with the other clan?"
"There are several clans but there are 5 big clans in the beastman kingdom. The Saarthu clan, the Granmolt, the Ealtham, the Feluz, and the Draum. The Ealtham and Feluz are the one along with the sage become direct subordinate with the lich. The Granmolt and Draum still resisting the reign of the lich while us Saarthu are recently joined with the lich. We still need to prove our self worthy for the lich if we don't want to share the same fate as both the Granmolt and Draum"
"What are they doing to both clans?"
"Some of them are being turned as an undead soldier. And that is the worst fate that can be fall upon a beastman"
Bagon, Rigrit and Rhesta are silent with the revelation about the beastman kingdom this whole time.
"We really sorry. We probably can't do anything about it. It is just 2 of us. She is not coming with us to the kingdom. But, we will try anything that we can" Rigrit said to Rishru sympathized.
"I understand. I'm not supposed to say all of those things to you all. It just I thought we can get some help from you all"
"That's okay. Anyway you guys should get some rest let me do the guard for tonight" Bagon break the silence
"Is it okay?" Rhesta asked again. Her concern for the beastman is understandable. But, after Rishru story she is not sure anymore. Especially that they are now near the enemy territory.
"It is okay. Take some rest. He will not touch you while I'm here"
They all finally get some rest. After a while the Rishru fell asleep too. For some reason he sleep quite far from them while still near Bagon. Now it is just him that awake.
He just need something that will keep him from bored. There are no books in here to keep him busy. The idea of not having to sleep seems wonderful at first. Now he just wanted to sleep. Even if he don't need to or feel to sleep.
*sigh* suddenly everything become complicated. I thought that I can just have the item and continue my adventure. Now about that meat.
He takes the meat out from the inventory. The meat seems okay. It doesn't show anything like it is starting to rotten.
Rishru can still eat it. Maybe the inventory can delay the rotting process? But, it is still a day. Maybe it will be different tomorrow. Because if it is working I can store the food in the inventory. Now looking at the meat I'm starting to get hungry too… maybe just a bite
Bagon quietly transform and start take a bite. While he ate the meat he starts thinking.
I'm really starting losing my humanity am i? I don't even have problem in eating raw meat.
Without him realized he already ate everything.
That's just too small. I still want to eat for more
After ate the meat he transform back to human form and thought about food the whole night without him realizing that it start to trigger his passive a bit.
Meanwhile
Cerebrate and the sunlight scripture finally arrived at the post near the border. It is an abandoned village because of the beastman raid that is now created as base by the kingdom.
"Now that we are here we should take rest and continue tomorrow. We should be able to arrive at the front line by day" Cerebrate explained the team leader.
"It seems the situations here are worse than I expected" Oliandres said with low tone.
"There is something weird with these beastman. Sometimes they just eat the human on the spot sometimes they capturing them."
"Is that normal? Maybe they need to have some stock so they don't need to hunt again?"
"That is what we thought before. But, almost everyone that they captured are all adventurers. Just some warning you guys should be careful when arriving there"
"Don't worry about us. We can take care of ourselves."
"Consider that as an advice. Besides when I think about it your scripture wouldn't ask for extra help if they can take care of themselves" cerebrate tease him a bit.
"Thank you for the advice. I take my leave then. I need to rest after this long travel" the leader leaving cerebrate to meet up with his soldier.
"Hope nothing happened tomorrow so I can go back to her" cerebrate said as he went to rest
The next morning Bagon and his group continuing their journey to the border.
"The route is different from what I remember. Are you sure we are going in the right way Rishru?" Rigrit asked a bit suspicious to the Rishru.
"Yes. We are going to circling around the border. If we going through the old route we will get ourselves caught by either sides."
"You right. Let's get going"
Meanwhile Rhesta is pretty quiet this whole time. She is still can't imagine on what is happening with the beastman sides. That was a lot of thing to take in in just one night. She is probably sure that they are the first to know about the condition of the beastman. Even more that both Rigrit and Bagon friend is living with the beastman. She never heard that a human can live with the beastman.
"Hey Bagon, are you sure that is the place your friend stay? Besides, it is a beastman kingdom it is impossible for human to stay in that place" Rhesta asked
"Well, we never said that our friend is a human either are we? Is that right Rigrit?... Rigrit?"
"…"
Bagon look at her. It seems that she is not in the mood for talking.
"You guys have friends with the beastman!? Are you guys really befriending with demihumans?"
"Not every demihumans you will meet is a savage you know, sometimes there are some that even stronger than us and willing to help human. But, the attacks from the beastman really make demihumans looks bad is it?"
"It is not just because the attack, even the other countries are considered that demihumans are bad. That is one of the reason the adventurer guild right? To protect humanity."
"Well I think not every demihumans are all bad. Look at Rishru here. He is not that bad right?"
"*sigh* just this once I can at least trust you guys"
"Anyway, what is that with you? I can't sense you at all when you following us" Bagon curiously asked
"Oh so you have some detection skills? Well, I have this talent that allows me to hide my presence. And since I'm a magic caster that skill is pretty useless in real combat, except for things like following you guys hehe."
"That was good. Even that you are a magic caster. If you can hide like that it will be quite useful. Ever considered to become an assassin?"
"I considered that but, I don't like the idea of killing people"
"It is not always for the people you know. But that's ok."
"Master we're here" Rishru notified Bagon as they about to reach the end of the forest.
It is almost evening but the sun still shining the sky with bright red orange color. At the end of the forest is a plain hills encircled with the forest. The tree around are starting to look different as the tree trunk are getting bigger in the other side of the hill. This place looks like the border between beastman and the kingdom.
Now they are about to enter the border they can avoid the human just fine. But the problem is the girl.
"Hey, let's talk a bit here. Now that we already arrived what exactly are trying to do here. You even said that it is dangerous yet you still sneak up to follow us. It is more than just meeting with that adventurer is it?" Bagon asked her in serious tone.
"You like him don't you?" Rigrit suddenly added.
"Well,… ummm. It is not like that." She seems hesitating to answer
"So you come here to suicide then?"
"No, of course not. *Sigh* I guess I don't have other choice then. I'm actually here because I need to retrieve my family Relic. It is in the house of one of the village near the border"
"Huh I thought you said that you come from Empire"
"I am from there. But, my father family is lived here. He came back to the village when he heard that the beastman are start attacking the human. He said that they all will move to the empire but,… they never came"
"I'm sorry I didn't know"
"It is fine. I lied to you guys anyway"
"So why didn't you ask us to get you here? You can give request in the guild"
"And let them know that I have family treasure in what probably already destroyed village. It is good that somebody might accept it. But the treasure. they might take it, kill me, and told the other that they are attacked by beastman. It is better for me to take you guys that already intended to go to the beastman kingdom. The crystal tear already got their hands full with another problem. I don't want to add more"
"So why don't we just continue to your destination then"
"It is ok guys I'm fine. I think you all in a hurry so, you need to get there quick. I'm fine by myself here. The village is not far from here too. So I'm fine"
"Are you sure? This area is even more dangerous than before"
"I'm fine. Also here" Rhesta throw the coin pouch to Bagon.
"Hey we not even agree with this"
"And yet you still take me, thank you. Bye" Rhesta left Bagon group walking near the edge of the forest
"So, how can we enter to the border without being caught? The beastman can easily find us with the smell even if we succeed sneaking to their territory. Is that right Rishru?"
I cannot risk it with invisibility. There are probably beastman and the lich that can see me. I also cannot teleport there as well. I never go there. Hmmm...
"Wait, I have an idea"
"What is it?"
"How about you Rishru pretend to capture you all? With that he can escort us right to the city?"
"Maybe that's a good idea"
"Is that fine master? I don't think that is a good idea"
After a few moments Rishru finished tied both of them in a rope.
"Okay now we are ready to go"
"What is it? Are you feeling uncomfortable right now? This is your idea" Rigrit ask Bagon that looks uneasy with his hand tied to his back.
"No, it just that… maybe I'm just nervous with this idea"
Why do I feel bad with this. It's not like I ever got tied like this before right? And why after all this time I'm starting to get hungry too.
"Is it really okay master? If not maybe we can try to sneak up and..."
"No, it's ok. We don't want to attract attention too much when we got caught"
"Ok now let's go"
Meanwhile with Rhesta
She finally arrived at the village. It was nothing like a village anymore. The place is started to overgrown with grass. There are remains of the burnt houses that being covered with moss and grass. There are some houses that are still standing despite the burn mark on it. She once come here when she just a child. But, she can only remember some of it. The only thing that she remembers is the house has stone for the walls.
She know something like this what she will see upon arriving. She already mourning for her father when she know that he will never comeback. Yet, she still feels sad seeing the condition of the village like this.
From around the place there is only one house that had stone for its foundation. Some of the stones already fallen to the ground. The house has some the roof left. But the rest are gone.
"This is the place"
After a while she is now standing in front of what to be the front door of the house.
"I'm here dad. Sorry to keep you waiting"
She enters the house and start searching around the place. She remembers that her that said it was in a box. But never try to open it without the key.
Finally on the floor she found a loose wood near a fireplace that looks like something under it.
She lifts it open and found the box.
"Thank goodness it is still here"
The grey colored box is heavier than it looks. She not sure from what material the box even made of. On the top the box there is a circular gap. She almost try to open it when she remembers what her father said.
"I almost forgot the key. I don't see a keyhole here. Maybe… maybe the bracelet is"
She takes off the gold bracelet and put it on the gap. It's perfectly fit and a click sound can be heard after she put the bracelet into the box. She opened it.
Inside the box is a round looking bottle filled with purple liquid. The bottle itself is not made with glass but with crystal. It is look so sturdy that even when try to smash it the bottle won't break
"Huh what is this? It looks like a potion but why is it purple?"
Just when she still wondering with the potion. She heard footsteps coming from the woods. She quickly hides behind the wall inside the house.
"Hey, we have to go back quickly. I think those human lost track of us. We should be save for now"
"Seriously I didn't think that there will that much human in that place we almost got caught. We are lucky that those flying things are not chasing us"
"*Sniff*…*Sniff*… there is a human around here. I can smell it. It is not far from here"
She froze when the beastman notice her here by the smell.
"Get out here you human. I know you're here."
"You guys go over there. That human must be here somewhere"
Oh shit. They found me what should I do. What should I do?
Rhesta panicking as he heard the footsteps coming closer and closer. Suddenly the footsteps getting quiet it looks like they just stop around her then suddenly the wooden wall breaks and a hand caught Rhesta by her head.
"FOUND YOU"
"KYAAAAA"
Rhesta screamed try to get away from the grip. But it is useless as the hand lift her in the air. Now she can see the beastman. It seems to be a dog like beastman. He has leather armor and wooden but with iron spikes club hanging from the side of the beastman. The yellowish furs are dirty with some mud and dust. The beastman take her out of the house to their group while she still struggling to get off from the beastman
Now she saw them. There are 8 of them with various type of beastman mostly feline and canine type. But from the appearance they look tired and there are some wound can be seen from some of their body. There is a bigger one he is a canine type beastman with more armor while a bastard sword hanging from his waist. There are a lot of scar in his body and the beastman around seems cowering around him.
That is the leader.
"At least we are not going back empty handed"
"What is a human doing here? This place supposed to be empty right?"
"Hey look, it's the necklace. She is an adventurer. But, she is alone. The human usually in group they never alone"
"Maybe she got separated or the other already caught her friends hahaha"
"Hehe she look tasty, can I get a bite?"
"You can do that later but now we must retreat first" the leader stop his friend playing with the human
"Fine"
The leader looks a bit uneasy with their situations right now. They maybe encounter the kingdom army on their way back. If that is really true, she really needs to get out. If not, everything will be useless.
One of the beastman try to tie her to the rope while the other beastman left them two guarding around. At least she is not being surrounded by the beastman.
When the beastman is holding her she took her chance to escape
"{Spark}"
"WHAT THE… AARRGH"
She use short range lighting spell. Since the spell is only work effectively from short range rarely people try to learn this spell. She is grateful that she managed to pull this one off as a trick.
Rhesta trying to get away. 2 of the beastman got caught in her spark spell. She is about to get away but she fall on her way. She fell because she tripped on something on her foot. No, something just got stuck to her foot. She fell with her face on the ground. Now she is starting to feel the pain become stingier. She looked at her and found that an arrow just pierced her left foot. She is not giving up. So, she tries to crawl her way out.
"You little human. Stop with all your little tricks. I should have just eat you already"
The leader is getting closer. He grabs her injured foot and start dragging her.
"Aggggh get off from me... Eh?"
A whooshing sound suddenly come followed with fall of the beastman behind him.
"Stop it beast if you don't want to lose your life"
The voice is coming from the woods. She turned her eyes to voice. There are 16 people standing by along with the angels. 9 of them are in a uniform which is obviously the slane Theocracy. The other 5 are using the kingdom armor while the last one is the leader of crystal tear, cerebrate.
It is as expected for him to be in here but is he just alone? Where is the rest of his team?
He quickly get to her with some of the angels are following him.
"Can you get up? You need to get away from here quickly... Wait have we meet before?"
"I..."
"Hey you! Get her out from here" cerebrate commanded one of the soldiers to get her to safety.
The beastman are start to group up while the other one is still unconscious because of Rhesta spark. He is the one that directly get hit by Rhesta spark.
"Shit they already here. Looks like we have to do it early"
The beastman leader takes something out from his bag and a small tube that seem to be a small bamboo with small rope hanging at the bottom of it. The leader points it to the sky. Then a bright light flew high to the sky and exploded.
"You're all dead humans hahaha…"
"Awoooooo"
The beastman laugh suddenly cut with a howl. After the howl suddenly everything fell a lot more silent. Mist start to gather around all their feet. But they didn't notice it.
Cerebrate break all their silence with his command to the soldier and the scriptures.
"Get ready all. They called for reinforcements. Set formations"
Something is off from the beastman sides. They never know anyone in their group that can howl like that. But one thing they know. It is the call for hunt. There is something powerful in that howl. Their trembling leg is the proof of that. They can feel the hair in their back stood after hearing the howl.
The beastman that Rhesta hit with her spell finally recovered from paralyze. He is a cheetah type beastman, a good companion that always been supportive within his group and a strong one too. That's why he was sent to this mission along with them. He just finished standing up and try to get his weapon ready when he noticed that now there is a group of human in front of him. But before he realize he can't fell his right arm. Maybe he still paralyzed by that human magic. Until he noticed that there is a smell of blood around. Not from the human but from him.
He lost his right arm in an instant. It is so fast that both the human and beastman group didn't even notice until the beastman scream make them realize their situation right now.
"AAARRRGGGGHHHH"
The beastman fell to his knees and grab his lost arm trying to hold the pain that start surging from his lost arm.
"What the…"
Another beastman got himself flew to one of the abandoned house before he finished his sentence. The crushed house make everyone took their attention to it. In the rubble a figure start to be seen in the dust bending its body down. The figure is suspected to be a beastman too as he have an animal head. But the chomping sounds coming from it make them shiver.
As the dust all settle down. A wolf beastman is chomping down one of their kind biting and eating the body off. Crushed bones, blood spurting and flesh tore apart is the only sound they can hear from one of the beastman. The wolf beastman wearing black armor is now standing with blood drenching all over his mouth and to his armor staring down to the beastman he will hunt next.
Some moments ago with Bagon group.
Both Bagon and Rigrit are all tied up and walking toward the beastman camp. They are about to arrive in a moment. Bagon that walking in front of Rigrit is starting to slow down.
"Hey, is everything okay?" she asked him.
Bagon jumped a little when Rigrit suddenly called to him.
"Yes, yes I'm fine. It just I feel kind of weird for a moment"
"Remember, this is your idea. If you want to stop just tell"
"No, it's fine. We already close we can't stop now"
"We're here"
And with that finally the arrived at the camp. There are so many beastman there. Maybe around 35 beastman they all heavily armed. They all look so busy. It seems that they all preparing for something. In the middle of this camp there are 3 cages filled with human. Looks like the adventurer and the villager are separated. As one of the cages is filled with people wearing armor and some of their identification necklace are hanging from their neck. The wail of help filled the camp. Some of the villagers are trying to get out while some are already give up. The adventurers are silent. It seems they trying to find a chance to escape.
This is bad. All of those people are going to die. If only we can do something about it.
"Hey you!"
One of the beastman called out to Rishru. He is a panther beastman, he have big body and a bit taller than Rishru. From the different look of the armor he wears. It seems that he is the leader for this camp.
"Aren't you the scout that being sent to go to the human territory? And looks like you bring a little gift in your way back hmm?" the panther smiled to Rishru
"Oh, yes. I capture them on my way back. Also they seem to hold some important information. So I need to get back to the capital soon if possible"
"Of course you can. Your contribution will increase the trust in your clan. I'm glad that your clan can finally join us. So what is this information that they have hmmm?"
Rishru is getting nervous by the time. He tries to calm himself and try to do as their plan. Their plan is to tell that they are close friend of the queens. With that they should be able to get separated from the other captured humans. But they will not be able to help the human if they doing this plan.
"They are close friends of the queen. We may use them later. That's why I'm taking them back to the capital."
"Is that so, since there are two of them why don't we keep the other one?" the panther smiled as he looked at Bagon that keeping his head down since they arrived.
"We can't do that" suddenly Rishru yelped
"Hmmm? Why not? Besides it's been a while since we are able to eat humans. Especially those who called themselves as adventurers. We can't even get a taste of them since the lich start demanding for them"
"We need them both. If it is only one it may be hard to bait the queen later." Rishru have nothing else to say as he just hopes that the reason is good enough for the leader to accept.
"Ahww that a shame. Maybe we can have a taste later in the capital" the leader lean toward Bagon that is unusually silent and hung his head down since arriving in the camp
"Hey what's up with him?" the beastman grab Bagon face and lift his head up facing him
Bagon breathing has become harder and harder. Then suddenly he takes a deep breath.
"… finally… some food" Bagon mumble before suddenly black mist covered his body.
The panther surprised and take his hand off from Bagon and immediately grab his weapon. But before he lifts his sword a black maw coming from the mist and biting the panther shoulder off. A chunk of his shoulder is taken off along with piece of armor that the panther wear.
"ARRGHH"
Bagon that already free from the rope jumped out on the bigger panther and pinned him down to the ground. The nearby beastman is suddenly surprised that suddenly their leader being pinned to the ground. The panther try to get Bagon off from him but it feels like he just trying to move a boulder. How can he the one that is chosen to be the leader for this group being pinned down like a little cub right now.
Before he reacts the Bagon use his claw and start ripping the body apart. He is eating the panther alive. His bloods splatter everywhere. The sound of his ribcage being crushed with the claw, the sound of chewing is the only thing that can be heard of from the panther.
As the panther consciousness starts to fade away he looks at the other member of his group. He can feel that he is being eaten alive. Blood coming out from his mouth fell to the ground. Before he can tell the others to run away, he lost his consciousness staring to the other member with blank stares.
The camp suddenly filled in panic. All of the nearby beastman are ready their weapon. They all start attacking Bagon at the same time. But before they can swing their weapon down to him, the beastman nearby Bagon all got their hand lost. They can't even react to it. Everything happened so fast. The beastman stop their assault to him and try to keep their distance.
"Rishru get me off from this. And try to open the cage"
Seeing the camp that now in chaos, Rigrit ask Rishru to unbind her. It is her chance to help the captured people. But she worries. Now that Bagon losing control can they really make it to their destination? Or perhaps can he calm down before he killed her?
Worry that later I need to help them.
She arrives at the cage. Grab her sword and try to destroy the lock with her sword. After several hit the lock finally open.
"Quick get out from here!"
The villagers are tried to thank her but she quickly dismiss it and move on to the next cage with Rishru already opened the cage. The villagers are hesitant to go out from the cage because of Rishru. But after Rigrit get to them they starting to leave.
The beastman now are trying to run away. She looked back and there are even more corpse laying around. In a moment many beastman are get killed by Bagon. Blood spread everywhere on the ground. The smell of blood starting to filled the air from the dead body. Some of the villagers in the second cage are even puke at the sight of this massacre. And finally on the third cage. The adventurers are all terrified with this sight.
"What is that?"
"Even when we escaped from this cage how can escape from that thing"
The captured adventurers are starting doubt about escaping from their cage. At least they thought that when the monster finished massacring all the beastman they would be next. The scream of the beastman are all heard across the camp.
Suddenly everything fell silent. Just after she finished breaking the lock on adventurer cage she looked at the other cage. None of the villagers are even escaping from the cage. They're all going back to their cage.
"What are you doing get out of here!"
All of the villagers are looking behind her. They're all too afraid to move. All of the beastman now are already dead except for Rishru alone. She looked at the direction the villager looking. It was a wolf beastman drenched in blood and gore. He still have on his hand what looks like a leg of the other beastman. The black fur on his head and his armor are now covered in red. Bagon still have its armor and the staff hanging from its back. But his movement is no longer belong to a human. He slowly crawls toward Rigrit and low growl can be heard coming from him. Rigrit ready her spell. Ready to take him down if he going at her.
Bagon suddenly pounce forward toward her. But she already cast her spell
"{Bone Wall}"
A wall of bone sprouts from the ground and blocking Bagon from pouncing at her. But, the bone all crashed down. Rigrit know this will not be enough. But enough time for her to evade the attack.
"Looks like I don't have other choice"
She readies her spell. But before her even ready, she fell down to the ground. She found herself pinned by Bagon. The smell of blood and flesh are now ravaging her nose even more intense. She knows she can't do anything as he is too strong for her. She closed her eyes, waiting for that jaw to sink toward her body. But it never came.
"*sniff*sniff*sniff*"
She opened her eyes found him sniffing her. Even in his wolf form Bagon seems to have a disgusting face shown to her. He releases her and get up. She notices that maybe her necromancer magic smells weird to him. Bagon is still having this feral look on him and start sniffing the air.
Oh no the people. Only one way to find out.
"{Bone wall}. {Mass animate dead}"
She covered the cage with the bone wall and orders all the dead beastman to circling the cage and Rishru.
I hope this is works.
Bagon sniff the air and looks toward the place that they came from. In that moment a bright light exploded in the sky. Bagon sniff the air again and start running toward that way.
Why is he running there? wait. That way is…
Bagon POV
He is opening his eyes. But it feels like nothing to see. There is something inside him swelling. It feels so painful to hold it.
It is fine. I just need something to eat. It is fine. It is fine. It is fine
He is reassuring himself over and over. Try to take control of himself from the frenzy. Slowly he starts to lose awareness of his surrounding as he keeps focusing on controlling himself.
Suddenly it feels like somebody is leaning closer to him. Or is it somebody? He cannot even process on what he is seeing right now. But, everything feels different when he takes a breath. The smells. It smells so good. It is like something that you would find when you stand near a barbeque. The smells of meat like the one that being grilled on a hot grills that he can only saw in movie and video all this time. It smells so good.
Oh my. It is so good. I can't take it anymore.
He felt that a hand touching his face. The smell is even stronger now that the meat is closer to his face.
I can't.
He transformed and leap to the meat in front of him. He sinks his fang to the food. The tender meat, the sauce, and something there that is quite crunchy yet taste good all those flavor are filled in his mouth. He keep chomping it down while it is still warm. Many foods are best enjoyed while it is still worm right? But after a while, the food starting to get cold and less tasty. So, he looks around and smells it. There are like a buffet in front of him. And now he craves for more.
He jumps around get all the food that he can until there is none left. Finally he smells a different one. It is as delicious as what he ate before but there is something that making it different. It is like how beef have many kinds serving and this one is the same too. The portion doesn't seem that much. But that is what those fancy restaurants always serve right? So he leap but he got smashed into something getting angry he immediately attack again and now the food is served right in front of him.
Something is not right with the food in front of him. Now that he smells it up close. It smells like something disgusting with this food. Like something that has been left out in the open just before it rotten. Looks fine but it's already rotten inside. He let go of the food. There is another smell. Beside the sudden emerge of this rotten meat everywhere there is still some fresh food nearby until a bright explosion took his attention away. He still craves for some more. He caught something in the air. There a lot of food coming from the explosion direction. He just need a bit more, he still wanting for more and left to get that food.
He finally gets near the place. He can smell that there are a lot of foods over there. So, while running he target one of them and try to pounce one. But, since he is a bit too hurry, he missed and only get a bite from his food. He quickly prepares himself to pounce for the next one. Then finally he get what he need another fresh meat. He finally can taste it all once again and it feels so good to him. He rarely has such meal in back in the city. This is the first time he can finally eat this much with such delicious meals.
In the village
"What is that? Why is it attacking its own kind?" one of the theocracy soldier asked
"I'm not sure but looks like the beastman also confused too"
"Still we need to prepare before that thing also attacking us too"
It is so fast. I can't even follow the movement.
The beastman starts to run away to the forest. But the leader still stays in the same place.
Then the wolf beastman disappear. The next thing happened is that another beastman near the leader is getting pounced again by the wolf.
"Who are you? Get away from him" the leader swing his sword to Bagon
But Bagon kick him off and the leader gets flung to the middle of the Theocracy soldier. The leader then puking blood from his mouth before fell unconscious.
Just before Bagon leap once more one the summoned angels are starts attacking him. But all of the summoned angels are destroyed in one attack. One slash from his claw an angel get destroyed. Even a bite from the wolf beastman is easily killed the summons.
"No way. To think that so many angels can easily be killed"
"I never heard a beastman like this. What is this? Cerebrate you never say anything that this kind of monster exist within the beastman territory" the Theocracy soldier asked cerebrate.
He seems to be one of the higher for talking like that to cerebrate. But he doesn't care. The beast in front of them now is too dangerous to let go.
"You guys back me up"
Then cerebrate launch himself toward Bagon with his sword.
*clang*
Meanwhile Rhesta in the distance is watching the fight. The sword is being blocked with his claw. In the distance even when it is getting dark she can see the fight is happening. She noticed something familiar from the wolf beastman that now fighting with Cerebrate. It is the quarterstaff on its back. There are no other people in the kingdom that using staff as a weapon except for him.
He is a werewolf?
"Young lady you should get away from here it's getting dangerous" the soldier asked to immediately leave.
"No, wait a bit I have to see it"
Cerebrate is attacking Bagon once more but this time he getting more serious.
Shit. This is not good. I'm going to get myself killed if this continues.
Cerebrate step back a bit. He brings his sword up in front of his face. This is his greatest skill that he rarely used it since most of his opponent already defeated even before he getting serious. But now is different. He fully realized that he was a bit trembling when he first heard that howl. He cannot go on playing like usual. This beast that now in front of him is clearly stronger than him. That's why he needs to end it as soon as he can.
"{Martial arts: flash stroke}"
In an instant he moved in front Bagon. The sword thrust directed at its throat. The sword pierce straight to beast neck nearly removes the head of the beast from its body. Or so it should be.
But the moment the sword touching the throat it feels like he missed. There is no impact toward the sword and the sword keep on thrusting forward. Then he realized the beast body starts to fading into mist.
This guy can turn to mist!?
Bagon then quickly grab cerebrate neck and lift him up. Cerebrate struggling to get rid of the grab. The strength of this guy is terrifying. He felt like a little bit more and his neck would be snapped. Seeing the situation with cerebrate quickly the soldier and Theocracy try to save cerebrate.
"Quick take him down"
Bagon look at cerebrate. He is drooling right now. He already bored with those meats before. Now, he is about to taste a new menu. He opened his jaw trying to take a bite from the head. Then suddenly from above. A giant bone claw fell from the sky aimed at him. Realize this and evade the attack while still holding cerebrates in his hand.
Rigrit finally arrived in the right moment.
He seriously has lost his mind. I need to wake him up
"{Bone spike}"
A series of sharp bones sprouting from the ground. But Bagon keep evading until he let go of cerebrate.
Getting annoyed Bagon disappear into mist and appear in front of Rigrit. Holding her within his hand Bagon looks very mad about getting his meal getting away.
"Now!" Rigrit Yells
Suddenly Rishru appear. He is hiding by being transparent just behind Rigrit. He held a bottle of green thick liquid and breaks it in front of Bagon. Some of the liquid are fell to Bagon near his nose. He take a breath and in that moment Bagon awake.
He releases his grab on Rigrit and start rubbing his nose.
"What? what am I doing? Rigrit? Ugh what is this smell?"
Then he notice that his mouth are all filled with weird liquid. Then he starts to feel that there some taste of iron in it. He looked down and he found himself drenched in blood. Shocked with the state he just fund himself right now he slowly asked Rigrit.
"… Am I losing control just now?"
"Bagon stay calm. We need you control yourself right now. We have to leave now"
Bagon slumped in the back of the skeleton dragon. He noticed below that there are a lot of blood and a group of human.
"Did I just kill those people?"
"I don't know. Everything is already in chaos when i get here. but you killed a lot of beastman"
"…"
"Are you okay master?" Rishru concerned with the state of Bagon right now. But in the other hand he is afraid of him even more right now. It's already a miracle that he managed to wake his master up after witnessing all of his kind being killed like a little rat.
"…"
"We need to get there soon before you lost control again"
"You right"
They get away from the village toward the forest using the skeletal dragon.
"Sir, should we chase them?"
"No. We finished here. I need to go back to send report. At least we can get more information with him"
Cerebrate look at the beastman that is already healed and tied both his arm and muzzle. In the distance a soldier came from the forest
"Sir our scout found a group of captured human escaped from the beastman camp. They said that a wolf beastman suddenly attacking the camp and an old woman and a lizard beastman is helping them escape"
That is interesting. So, after he attacks the camp he is coming here. Just what is happening right now?
"Get them all back to the camp. Also take that girl with you. Send her together with those captured villager. I will have some question with them?"
Meanwhile with Bagon group.
They finally rested in the wood near a river. Tomorrow they should be arrived at the city. Bagon is in his human form washing all the blood away from his body and armor which is easier since the blood won't stick to his fur. Rishru is being more cautious with Bagon now that he already saw what Bagon capable of while Rigrit is still silent resting under a tree.
Bagon approach Rigrit after washing himself
"Ummm. Rigrit"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you for stopping me. I don't know what happened I think it is because of my trait as a werewolf. This time I think it getting worse than before. I don't know what will happen to me. What will I become in the future. I'm not sure if I can stay living as a human or not"
"You're fine. You are not the first person with bloodlust that I stopped."
"Oh yeah. The vampire girl. I forgot"
"Listen, you may be a werewolf. But don't forget who you are. Since you are the one that will determine are you a human or monster."
"Thank you. I'm still shocked with what just happened. I may still need sometimes to process on what happened for today. Also that liquid that Rishru throw at me what is it?"
"Oh that just extract from some smelly grass, garlic and some herb. I'm lucky that it would work as well for werewolf. I don't guarantee if it can keep you under control. But should be enough to wake you up"
"That is pretty effective. You should show me how to make it later. Just in case"
"*sigh*you should take a rest you look tired"
Bagon nodded as he go near a bed of grass. He looks at the [ring of sustenance]. That item should keep him from all the fatigue. But the shock is what makes him looks tired. He is mentally exhausted.
This thing is not working to handle the {feast rage}. I really need to sleep.
He took the ring of and put it in his inventory. Now that the ring is off. All the fatigue starts to spreading all over his body. Slowly he gets himself drifted in sleep.
