Bai En walked carefully through the manor. The wolves were quiet again. The sword in the hand of the dead soldier is now in his hand, heavy like a dead man. While wandering in the hall, he bumped into the bodies of two guards. Their throats were pulled out. Both died with a fearful expression. A strange musk fragrance filled the air.

Bai En seriously considered his choice. He can run out of the yard. This seems unwise. The snow outside covered the ground, and the forest was full of wolves. Even without their malicious existence, he suspected that he could not go far without food and winter equipment.

There is an old mage in the building who wants to kill him and the children of Ulik. There were also a group of terrified soldiers, for whom he was a stranger. This also looks less promising.

His instinct told him to find a place to hide and wait for one party to slaughter the other. Perhaps upstairs, he could find a loft where he could hide, or find a quiet room-the sound of someone approaching. The door at the end of the corridor began to open. Bai En quickly opened the door next to him, drilled in, and closed the door easily. He realized that he must be in the study room of Earl Hosgar. There is a big table under the window. There are portraits of families hanging on the wall. A set of shiny armor stood in the alcove. The curtain covered the window.

An instinct prompted Bai En to run across the room and get behind the curtains. He came just in time. The door of the room opened. The two men talked loudly. Bai En heard their voices. One is Earl Hosgar. The other is the old mage Warman.

"Damn! Warman, I remember you said your chains held them firmly like devil's claws. How could they disappear?" "The spell was not broken. Otherwise I would feel it. I doubt it There are more secular methods. Maybe one of your men ... "

"You mean, can one of my people be with those things?"

"Or one of your servants. They have lived here all year round. Who knows? The children of Ulik have lived in this area longer than you. They said that the people here used to worship them, or at least offer them Sacrifice. "

"Maybe. Maybe. But can you find those prisoners? They cannot disappear out of thin air. And my people? More than half of them are dead, and the other half are scared out of their wits and doubts. You better do something quickly , Wizard, otherwise you have to explain to the Patriarch. Things have not developed as you promised. "

Patriarch, Bai En clenched the sword in his hand when he heard the word. He gritted his teeth to restrain his urge to rush out and cut both of them. He remembered the Phoenix Society mentioned by the old mage. He still doesn't know what the Phoenix Society has to do with the Night Church, but he will check it out and let them pay for everything they did. "Don't panic, sir. My magic will prevail, and our career will become stronger. The moment of change is coming, and you and I will exhibit the greatest magic of the great Thasorion. We Eternal life, immortal. "The old mage's calm voice came again.

"Maybe. But now, at least one beast has escaped inside these walls. If you think the man is wrong, maybe two."

"It doesn't matter. The Transfiguration Charm is ready. The final victory will belong to us. I'll go find our container."

"You go to our container, you are alone, the wizard? Your plan is more like a betrayal. Be careful! The patriarch gave me a way to deal with you, in case you are unfaithful to the Order of the Phoenix!"

When a weapon was pulled out, there was a sound of steel.

"Put it away, Count." The old mage sounded nervous now. "You don't know how powerful this kind of thing is. There is no need to use it."

"Make sure everything goes according to plan, Warman. It must be done."

The door opened and then closed again. Bai En heard the nobleman sitting on the chair. He was surprised by this order. Who is this mysterious patriarch? Why did he become the leader of this evil cult or evil organization. Bai En dispelled the idea. He has other things to worry about.

He pulled the curtain aside and saw a bare spot on the back of the count. A dagger lay on the table in front of him. It is covered by strange glowing runes. When his eyes tried to follow their route, Bai En's eyes hurt. However, he thought, this dagger might still work.

The nobleman stroked his neck, feeling the cold wind outside the window behind him. He began to reach for the dagger. Bai En leapt from where he was hiding, and pointed the hilt at the head of Earl Hosgar. The nobleman fell to the ground like a bull being cut down.

Bai En reached out cautiously to get the dagger. When he put his hand near the blade, his skin tingled. That thing emits a dangerous energy. He picked up the handle of the dagger and noticed that it was covered with a dark metal: lead. He realized that he saw a light similar to the one on the blade before, and the dagger looked like it was made of magic stone. This is a weapon that is equally dangerous to users and victims. He reached out and found the dagger sheath of the count's weapon. It is lined with lead. Bane felt better after putting the dagger back into the sheath.

He considered giving up the dagger, but only temporarily. In this hell-like place, this may be the only protection he can find. He buttoned his coat around his waist and prepared to go out.

There are three dead servants in the kitchen. Their throat was also pulled out. It seems that the werewolf wanted to kill everyone in the building. Bai Ensi has no doubt that he will be included in this list.

Seeing the corpse, Bai En could barely eat. almost. He found fresh bread on the table and cheese and beef in the food cabinet. He gorged on it. They seemed to be the best food he had ever eaten.

The door opened, and two men with fierce eyes came in. They looked at the body and then at him. Their eyes are full of fear. Bai En reached for the naked sword on the table.

"You killed them," one of them accused, pointing the finger at Bai En.

"Don't be silly," Bai En said, his words blurred by the bread and cheese stuffed in his mouth. He swallowed and swallowed. "Their throats were torn apart. The werewolf did it."

Those people stopped and hesitated. They seemed too scared to attack, but they were full of anger caused by fear.

"Did you see it?" One person finally asked. Bai En nodded.

"What does it look like?"

"Great! Head like a wolf. There is also a human body."

A terrible howl reverberated in the hall. It sounds close. The two turned and rushed towards the door of the yard, opening the latch on the door. Just as they did this, some thin gray figures flew at them and pulled them out. The wolves have been waiting quietly outside.

Bai En ran forward, but it was too late to help those people. He looked outside and found that the door outside was opened again. The thing that looks like a girl stands beside the gate. Her head tilted back. She seems to be laughing.

Bai En hurriedly closed the door and hung the latch. He was trapped, but at least those howling things were not close. He sat down at the table again, determined to finish this may be his last meal.

————

Bai En crept across the corridor again, holding a sword in one hand and a shiny dagger in the other. He can sit in the kitchen for as long as he wants, and fear will take root in his heart. In the end, it seemed a better idea to face fate than sitting there like a frightened rabbit.

He walked into a hall. The ceiling is high. The coat of arms of Earl Hosgar hung on the ceiling. There are also many animal heads which, as hunting trophies, cover the walls. Two people were present. One is the old mage, Warman. The other is a werewolf. It was a monster, half as tall as Bai En, and his chest was rounder than a bucket. Huge claws bent at the end of its long arms. Its red wolf eyes shone with anger.

"You come, I know you will come." The old mage said. At first, Bai En didn't know how the old mage knew he was there, but then he realized that Warman was talking to the werewolf.

"Now you will die." The werewolf's lips should not have been used to speak human language, but the words were broken. The old mage took a step back. His cloak undulated like waves, and the light shone around his staff. The werewolf stood stiff for a while, then stretched out a huge claw and pulled Warman's head off. The old mage's body stumbled forward. Blood poured from his broken neck and splashed onto the beast.

The sound of wolf howling and fighting came from outside. Bai En believes that there is no doubt that the last survivors are being slaughtered. He stared cautiously at the beast.

The old mage's blood boiled. A cloud of steam rose from his body, showing the outline of a mage. It spread his arms with pride and walked towards the children of Ulik. Fog entered the monster's mouth and nostrils. It stood there for a while, clutching his throat, and seemed unable to breathe. The light disappeared from its eyes, and then, a hellish purple light flickered there.

When the monster spoke again, its voice was Warman's.

"Finally," it said. "Transfiguration is successful. Both immortality and magic belong to me. The strength of the beast also belongs to me. I will live until my lord Thasorion rules the world. Everything can be changed.

Bai En stood there dumbfounded. He was shocked by what he witnessed, and his entire brain was filled with fear. Warman's plan came true. The trap succeeded. The fallen soul of the old mage occupied the werewolf's body. His evil wisdom and magical power will continue to exist in its terrible form. Warman now possesses the strength and invulnerability of Ulik ’s children, and also possesses his own evil power.

The eyes of the terrible purple eyes slowly fell on Bai En. Under the fierce glare, he felt his strength disappear. Outside, he heard wolves whimpering in horror, and a strange roar that was familiar. The werewolf made a gesture, as if hypnotized, and Bai En approached him until he was only a few steps away from the huge blood-stained claws. Warman held out his hand, his huge claws were closing ...

Bai En got rid of control, ducked his head and hid, then punched with a sword. He was almost like hitting a stone statue. The sharp blade bounced off. The werewolf's counterattack ripped Bae's robe. The pain burned his ribs, and his sharp claws hurt deeply. But Bai En had no time to pay attention to these, he jumped away quickly, avoiding the next blow. It was only because his response was as fast as a blade that he was protected from being ripped open.

"I did misunderstand you, you turned out to be a spellcaster." The lips that are not suitable for speaking human language said again ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Bai En did not have the time to answer, things seemed to happen in slow motion. The werewolf turned to face him. Bai En tried to circle around it. The werewolf jumped up. Its impact is as unstoppable as lightning. It hugged Bai En, with huge arms holding him tightly, as if to break his ribs. Bai En frantically stabbed down with the dagger in his left hand. To his surprise, it easily pierced the fur that was as hard as steel before. The wound smelled like a carrion, and the werewolf leaned back and howled.

Bai En stabs the other side non-stop, where the flesh is softened where he was stabbed. The werewolf's paws became weak. Bai En wakes up and continues to stab with a dagger. Pieces of black appeared on the werewolf's fur, like rotting spots on ripe fruits. He kept stabbing. Eventually, the werewolf fell down, and the rot spread to its whole body, completely swallowing it. Its powerful form withered completely and was conquered by the evil rune on the dagger. Then the evil light left the weapon. Under the control of Bai En, it became lifeless as if it had lost vitality. He spread his numb fingers and let it fall to the floor.

It took a long time before he stood up and looked around. The discovery of the werewolf girl standing in the door sullenly made Bai En tremble. Then Bai En noticed that Grey Rogan was standing behind her, like an executioner. The blade of his big axe pressed against her neck. "I thought I would never go the **** way. I still have to kill fifty wolves to get in." The **** dwarf said as he examined the slaughter scene with professional eyes.

"Well, humans, it looks like you have a busy night. I hope you leave me something to kill."
