After the battle ended, the [Power of the Boiling Werewolf ] was newly updated.
‘Whoa, a lot came in.’
Since I killed 12 awakened warriors from the enemy forces in this battle, there must have been 6 in our area.
Thanks to that, the list of derived skills, which had only two, now had 6 additional howlings registered.
‘The indigo and purple are status abnormality types.’
The Force Howlings are largely divided into status abnormalities and ability decreases, and among them, the indigo and purple have the unique debuffs of ‘Magic Control’ and ‘Vision Reduction’, respectively.
And the ‘Dark Blue/White/Violet Force Howlings’ decrease ‘Strength/Divinity/Speed’, respectively, which are ability decreasing howlings.
On the contrary, the ‘Green/Orange/Brown Buff Howlings’ increase ‘Endurance/Magic/Strength’, respectively, which are ability-boosting howlings.
Since each howling possesses different abilities, and the extent of increase and decrease is also considerable, if utilized well…
They seemed like skills that could completely overturn unfavorable battle situations.
And these are, after all, the rewards of [Rune Hunters].
Additionally, there were quite a few elements that grew internally as well.
[The restriction on the ‘Magic Dominance’ rune and ‘Dragon’s Promise’ rune of the contractor ‘Tyrbon (True Dragon)’ is lifted.]
[The restriction on the ‘Magic Dominance’ rune and ‘Horn of Bravery’ rune of the contractor ‘As (Aspidochelone)’ is lifted.]
The most encouraging among them was, of course, the growth of the contractors.
As [The Promise Bound by the Dragon] reached level 10, the restrictions on Tyrbon and As were finally lifted.
Through [Dragon’s Promise], Tyrbon can now use status abnormality-focused dark magic, and As, with [Magic Dominance], can use a wider range of spells, including the [Polymorph] magic.
It was always regrettable that As’s powerful ability could only be used in places with water, but now he can be summoned anywhere in human form.
‘Horn of Bravery. This also seems usable.’
In particular, the [Horn of Bravery] rune is a special rune that exercises a degree of restraint over all life forms living in water, which of course includes monsters.
In other words, in special dungeons with oceans or rivers…
With this rune, I can directly control marine monsters.
Of course, the degree of restraint will vary depending on the rune level and the grade of the opponent monster, but it seemed like it could be infinitely useful, depending on the method.
“Jae-hyun!”
Just as I was about to get up, someone called out to me and hugged me tightly.
It was Kim Chae-eun, who had fought together with me in the same area.
She seemed to be full of worry about me…
Her eyes were filled with tears.
“Are you okay? I thought you were going to die…”
It must have looked that way.
Without any support, facing the Clark wolves alone, suddenly fighting the S-grade Holder Hwang Seong-yeon one-on-one, then hunting wolves alone as the surroundings became a sea of water, and finally rushing into the enemy camp like a madman…
An outsider would have thought I was a moth rushing to die.
“Sorry. I guess I was in a hurry because of Hwang Seong-yeon.”
Hwang Seong-yeon’s appearance was an unexpected variable.
Since he is such a formidably powerful and dangerous existence, I seemed to have stubbornly fought the battle, going to extremes without realizing it.
Even I think it was a series of reckless moves.
“I wanted to help too…”
“What, you’re talking like you didn’t help at all?”
“I’m a little regretful.”
“What’s there to regret? You were the core DPS this time.”
I grabbed Kim Chae-eun’s slightly dejected shoulders and said.
It’s not just talk.
Kim Chae-eun’s main rune, [Frozen Battlefield], specializes in multi-target battles and wide-area magic.
She supported the allies with fiery supportive attacks, showcasing various types of ice-attribute magic such as [Frozen Fog], [Field Freezing], and [Icicle Shot].
She’s a magician capable enough to take down high-rank monsters alone… Of course, she was a great help in battle?
“Hehe. Then I’m glad.”
Only then did Kim Chae-eun’s expression brighten up.
Then, after glancing around…
She carefully kissed me.
It was an ultra-speed kiss that seemed to last almost 0.5 seconds.
‘Cute.’
I found her adorable, so I immediately hugged her back.
Additionally, I stroked the back of her head and asked, “Are you okay? Did you use a lot of magic?”
“Hehe. It seems depleted, but it’s okay since the battle ended. Ugh… But I’m out of breath.”
“Let’s go and rest quickly.”
In fact, after fighting such an intense battle and reaching the ‘Magic Depletion’ state, it’s even difficult to stand properly.
She had run with much more exaggerated expressions than usual, so she needed rest.
I found a sturdy tent nearby and had Kim Chae-eun lie down.
Then, gently kissing her forehead, I said, “I’ll be back later. Get some rest.”
“Okay. Come back soon.”
I went outside to finish the remaining tasks.
As soon as the battle ended, I had collapsed from exhaustion, but it hadn’t been long, so there was still a lot to do.
The most important thing was to check on the members of my attack squad, to make sure none of them were injured or if any issues had come up.
“Jae-hyun.”
“Squad Leader! We’re here~”
The first ones to greet me were Lim Hyun and Seong Na-yeon from Team C.
As veteran Holders, they didn’t seem to have any major injuries despite the sudden ambush.
While relieved to see my unscathed members, I still had to ask about the wellbeing of the person I was most curious about.
They had been in charge of the right side area, which included my girlfriend Moon Ga-eun.
“Seniors, by any chance, was Ga-eun…”
And before I could finish that sentence, Seong Na-yeon swiftly turned her head.
“See, Lim Hyun? I was right, the Squad Leader only favors Ga-eun.”
“For real.”
Agreeing with Seong Na-yeon’s expected jab, Lim Hyun chimed in.
It seemed they had exchanged some words after my first question.
I scratched my head with an awkward smile.
“That’s not it. Ga-eun is originally from Team B, so I was asking about that side.”
“Yup~ Of course.”
“…Holder Seong Na-yeon didn’t used to have this kind of image.”
“But this is the real me. And there comes Ga-eun.”
Seong Na-yeon pointed somewhere far away.
Following her finger…
A woman was charging forward while riding on a wolf.
“Jae-hyun~ I’m coming~!”
“……”
Waving at me from afar was Moon Ga-eun.
Not only did she seem safe and unharmed, she looked full of energy.
…Just what happened last night?
Giving Seong Na-yeon a dumbfounded look, she just shrugged.
“I didn’t know either, but it turns out our clan’s mischievous kid has the qualities of a lycanthrope.”
“…Don’t tell me she’s a werewolf?”
“Not just any werewolf, but Haeten. That chatty one.”
“How did she contract with a werewolf… Actually, nevermind that, the full moon has passed, so why is she still in wolf form?”
“I guess that’s how it is for the lycanthrope Ga-eun contracted with. Something about the Fulrien tribe.”
It’s an astonishing thing.
I had previously tried contracting with a werewolf like Jiten, but failed miserably.
The conditions didn’t match, so the contract itself couldn’t be established. Even if conditions were met, intelligent beings like werewolves could refuse contracts.
Those born as warriors would never subject themselves to a summoner’s constraints.
‘…But it worked.’
The result was right before my eyes.
On top of that, it was a contract with Haeten, who we’re closely acquainted with.
I had noticed Ga-eun sticking close to him for a while now, and it seems they ended up contracted.
Ga-eun was brightly waving at me from atop the wolf, her cheerful appearance leaving me with a resigned smile.
“The Goddess of Fire is here! Everyone make way!!”
“Warriors of Baraten! Praise the Goddess of Fire!”
“Uhahaha! Victory, victory!”
And from somewhere, the rough voices of lycanthropes could be heard.
Turning my head, I saw another familiar face there.
“……”
The hot aura of flames and a small build.
A beautiful appearance that catches the eye anywhere.
It was Kang Juyeon.
She was walking over, looking flustered amidst the wolves. Upon making eye contact with me, she quickly ran over and said with an urgent look:
“…Stop them.”
“Pardon? Stop what?”
“…Stop those wolves from calling me the Goddess of Fire.”
“……”
It seemed Kang Juyeon had leveled up to a goddess.
The cheers of the lycanthropes and the noisy atmosphere.
Just from this, I could immediately tell how much of a great feat she had accomplished in her assigned area.
The lycanthropes in Kang Juyeon’s area especially had very few casualties… It seemed she had provided powerful fire support to take out the enemy first, greatly reducing harm to our side.
‘But still, Goddess of Fire is a bit…’
Those damn lycanthrope kids just love giving over-the-top nicknames.
Just for this victory alone, I’ve been showered with ridiculous titles like ‘God of Lightning’, ‘He Who Confronted the Demon Sword’, ‘Turtle Master’, and so on.
And…
“From this day forth, the human Park Jin-woo is my eternal friend!”
“Welcome the serene female warrior! She is the hero of the lycanthropes!”
“It’s a festival, a festival!!”
This time it was Camilla and Park Jin-woo.
Those who were in charge of the area between the sides and center…
Were being carried on the shoulders of the werewolves as they walked over.
“……”
I stood there speechless at their grandiose appearances.
In just one night of battle,
My friends had become idols among the wolves.
…Just what did they do out there?
