This novel doesn’t have settings like monsters or magical beasts. The absence of a threatening genre is one of my favorite aspects in this world. But what’s that? No matter how many times I rubbed my eyes, reality didn’t change.
‘In other novels, they call this a… werewolf, right?’
Could it be that person mistook the world? So, suddenly appearing in this novel…
[Dash] Growl…!As if reading my thoughts, the werewolf growled at me. Sharp fangs appeared between its red eyes.
Drool dripped from there.
‘Oh my.’
The werewolf crouched down. Its bent legs soon acted like a lever, bouncing the monster’s body.
Crash!
Kashar’s drawn sword blocked the monster’s fangs.
‘Wait, why does it make that sound when fangs clash with a sword?’
The long fangs were holding onto the blade.
Kashar swung the arm holding the sword, throwing the werewolf into the air.
Poof.
The leaping sword pierced through the monster’s body.
[Dash] Keeeek!The werewolf writhed, making a dreadful sound. When the sword was pulled out, something red stained the ground.
The monster sprawled on the wet snow.
‘Is it over…?’
It was truly a horrifying scene. But if someone were to say it ended with this, there would be no such luck.
Just when I was about to relax, the monster’s fingertips moved.
The werewolf, covered in blood, was getting up.
‘What, why isn’t it dead?’
Clearly, the upper body was pierced by the sword.
However, the gray fur quickly recovered as if devouring the blade.
‘It’s a real monster.’
Trying to recall, there were similar monsters living in ancient times.
It was a past when dragons were considered a natural occurrence.
‘So why, why are they appearing now?’
Even at this moment, the werewolf came towards me, growling with sharp claws.
It wasn’t Kashar blocking in front of me but facing towards me.
Just before the monster’s hand reached me, his magical power wrapped around the sword.
The swung sword drew a red line on the monster’s torso.
However.
[Dash] Grrrr!The werewolf seemed to be happy, laughing instead.
‘What kind of creature is this?’
The monster was absorbing magic.
But it wasn’t just one.
Red eyes were scattered throughout the thickets. They were its kin.
Suddenly, Kashar, who had placed me on the black horse, pulled the reins.
“Hold tight.”
With a sharp neighing sound, the black horse cut through the white forest.
The rushing wind was fierce.
More audible than that was the howling of the monsters following behind.
‘Why do you run with four legs when you’re going to leap!’
Monsters like wolves were running from all directions.
It was a dizzying scene.
[Dash] Ooooo!It seemed like they could communicate, as our location was being shared from various places.
Enduring the rushing wind, I asked him, “Kashar, do you know them?”
“It seems like something I’ve seen in ancient texts.”
“No, then why are they chasing us?”
They were strangers too. Kashar corrected me while riding.
“They’re after you, not me.”
“Me?”
Come to think of it, even earlier, the creature’s pupils were following me, not Kashar.
Ancient monsters. If those things were chasing me, there was only one culprit.
‘It’s the Empress’s doing.’
That’s why, even though the Emperor hadn’t come, there was a reason they followed us to the winter hunting ground.
The image of him entering the warm lodge flashed before my eyes. Even calling out monsters from within, everything was obscured.
But it seemed like we weren’t the only ones getting hurt.
“Monsters, monsters have appeared!”
“Stop the hunt and evacuate everyone!”
The summoning of monsters started from inside where the hunt was taking place.
Werewolves were running after us, slashing their claws at whatever they could see.
It was chaos.
To avoid creating more victims, we had no choice but to run in the opposite direction of the crowd.
Kashar seemed to have the same thought as we ran deeper into the forest.
He used magic and swung his sword several times, but each time, the creatures revived.
Instead of killing them, Kashar tampered with the surrounding trees.
Kwoong [Dash]!
Several leaning dry trees fell to the ground as Kashar swung his sharp sword.
The forest shook as if there was an earthquake.
There were some monsters wriggling under the fallen trees, and it was effective in blocking the path, but it wasn’t enough to end everything.
However, it wasn’t possible to completely break through the front either.
He was protecting me, and there were too many creatures.
How long had we been running?
A voice reached me from behind, not the growl of monsters but a human voice.
“Lady Eileen!”
“…Rudvion?!”
When I turned around, Rudvion was running towards me, shouting.
He controlled the movement of the creatures from behind, using spirits.
Werewolves stumbled and fell over each other as if the spirits tying their ankles were quite annoying.
It was undoubtedly helpful.
But more noticeable than that was something else.
‘There are no monsters around Rudvion.’
The monsters had been rushing forward, eliminating everyone in their path.
But Rudvion was an exception.
