Lesson 8: Wolf Smoke

◆ ◆ ◆

■ [Lonely Wolf Shadow Faeul]

For [Faeul], he runs in a narrow tunnel, and [Faeul] runs with a bear in front of him.

While rubbing your body against the walls and ceilings of the tunnel, it doesn't get out of speed, but it strips your fangs off and chases the bear in front of you.

That day, a wolf before he became [Faeul] is chasing what he saw the night he lost his people.

It's not clear to [Faeul] himself why he's going after him.

That's not like when you were arguing with [Closer] to distract loneliness.

That remains vague, yet due to emotions with enormous calories.

Yes, [Faeul] felt that running away from things he saw that day, the day he lost his people, was the same as running away from that day.

He said it was about running away from himself the day he got lonely.

So [Faeul] strips his fangs and follows the bear.

To clear up some of that day's grief... destroy one of the opponents who turned their backs on that day here.

Whether or not you know such [Faeul] emotions, the bear sees the rear [Faeul].

I can't see any inner emotions or anything from the eyes of that crop.

I just measure the distance as I look back from time to time.

- I can't catch up.

[Faeul] following the bear has already noticed.

This tunnel itself is a trick to lure yourself in and keep you from catching up.

I would also have calculated the size of this critical pass.

Something like lights are somehow embedded in the tunnel at equal intervals, and vision is ensured.

From that, [Faeul] understands that this tunnel was prepared by the person in front of him, not by natural horizontal holes, etc.

In addition,

- My nose bends.

From the bear in front of me, there was a terrible stench.

It's a nut that emits an intense smell of [Garrell's fruit] that [Faeul] also remembers.

Being native to this mountain I was noticing as I came to this mountain and climbed.

But I wouldn't smell so bad if I didn't crush the fruit.

Apparently, that bear is crushing [Garrell's fruit] and painting it all over his own body.

If you are emitted the smell of such a thing in this narrow tunnel, the smell of [Faeul] above that of the wolf will be completely paralyzed.

[Faeul] realizes that's probably what he's after.

- Crush your nose, what's your aim?

I questioned that, but [Faeul] didn't intend to keep up the mess I couldn't catch up with until then.

Calling more than ten [shadow wolves] from their own shadows.

Let them chase the bears and try to get them to stay put.

But, as the bear was reading it, he drives [the shadow wolf] away with a machine bullet that he fired off without turning around.

As I once hived the top monster in front of my own eyes.

"........................"

[Faeul] perceives.

I can't fathom a bear's firearm with a [Shadow Wolf].

It's a different story if you surround it from all directions, but this is the main road.

Bears can deal with [Shadow Wolf] simply by pointing a gun in one direction.

[Faeul] You can't defeat a bear unless you're yourself. However, [Faeul] cannot catch up due to the narrowness of the tunnel.

[Faeul] thinks this tunnel is such a trap.

- But the tunnel won't last forever.

- Someday it'll be a dead end.

[Faeul] thought so arrowhead, his vision was open beyond the bear.

Apparently, there's a cavity again.

[Faeul] realizes that he wasn't going to end it in the tunnel.

But that's fine.

So he catches up, and [Faeul] plots to tailor the bear with his fangs.

So, first, the bear jumps into the cavity,

- The exit of the tunnel leading to the cavity was inflamed (...).

"Nah......!

[Faeul] leaks surprise words.

When I saw it, I heard the fire was burning at the entrance to the cavity.

Mixed with the stench of [Garrell's fruit], I smell something.

That smell was also drifting from the earthdragon people [Faeul] kicked in on the first day they came to this mountain... the smell of oil (...) that the earthdragon people are digging for a living.

The bear prepared oil in the cavity in advance, and [Faeul] understood that that [Garrell's fruit] smell was meant to keep him from noticing it.

…………

[Faeul] thinks that's what's going on.

Thought you'd give up on this level of flames.

That's how Faeul ran, trying to penetrate the flaming underground cavity.

Shortly afterwards, a shell (...) breaking through the flaming curtain and jumping in strikes Faeul.

A shell shreds [Faeul] 's body and causes him to bleed out.

The shells are not fired once, but are fired at intervals twice, three times.

In this step, [Faeul] re-read himself that his opponent's aim was a shelling that blinded him to the wall of flames.

The shells are slightly damaging [Faeul] 's body,

'Don't lick it!!'

Faoul dodged the fourth shell and jumped straight into the flaming curtain… into the cavity ahead.

It was a completely dead end cavity there.

Other than the oil burning brilliantly near the exit of the tunnel, there is only one (...).

It's a stationary turret (tortica).

Gun seat covered in thick armor plate.

Bear - Schau Sterling's, Third Form of Baldor.

The cannon gate was, naturally, directed towards [Faoul].

And the fifth shell was fired towards [Faeul] shortly after landing.

"Huh!!"

Some of my legs are scraped.

The damage is greatest.

Flames also burn the wound.

But......

'To this extent......!

[Faeul] does not willingly go through the flames at his feet, nor the shells that determine him.

Neither in the cavity nor small sway, which has begun to heat to high temperatures by flames.

It is due to [Faeul] 's own HP (vitality), which is different from normal monsters.

"Whether it's a burning flame or steel debris, I can't kill it!

Because now [Faeul] is < UBM >.

A powerful creature (Boss Monster) in a powerful creature (Boss Monster).

Damage of this magnitude, not number of objects, he said.

'I know you're in that box (...)!

[Faeul] 's sense of smell naturally noticed the smell of [Garrell's fruit] drifting from inside the fixed turret.

[Faeul] calls [Shadow Wolf] again and points it at the fixed turret to [Shadow Wolf], who counts twenty.

It's no longer a tunnel. This place is cavity. I can make [Shadow Wolf] attack me from all directions.

Fixed turrets also respond and fire out shells, but they have not been able to accommodate as many as Gatling guns, nor have they been able to change the direction of the guns.

I am immediately stopped by, surrounded, and slightly shredded of the armored version with [Shadow Wolf] 's claw teeth.

If it stays that way, in a few minutes, they'll pull off the armor and drag out the shu that's supposed to be inside.

Yes, the settlement is imminent.

The stationary turret has stopped spitting out shells already.

[Faeul] himself has moved to a position that does not fall within the range of the artillery fire of the fixed turret.

Even the momentum of the flames is weakening considerably.

All you have to do is eat off Shu's neck, which is inside the stationary turret, and it will be over.

That would fade my memory of that day that annoys one...... [Faeul].

[Faeul] thinks that way,

"Ha-ha-ha."

That's when I heard a laugh (...) from the stationary turret.

"Tough one, Kumar. I can't move it and I can't change the direction of the cannon. Instead, if you hit it a few times, it's the third form of cannon that can defeat the sub dragon too...... So bear? A bear who is a beast but is not afraid of flames either '

'... what are you talking about bumping?

[Faeul] couldn't help but stay.

Because I can't feel the urgency in my voice when I say I'm surrounded by [Shadow Wolf] and dragged out and killed without the art of keeping it this way.

"Ah, a bear you can talk to. No, never mind, bear. Just a status check bear. No in the tunnel, no shells, no flames. I knew it was strong, but I'm surprised it's less damaging, Kumar. '

'... I told you. Whether it's a burning flame or steel debris, I can't kill you. "

[Faeul] was frustrated.

There is no fear in the voice of the other.

That felt just like human modoki that day.

I was setting a trap, but you can kill me with something like that! Bear-skinned monkey wisdom human modoki!

"Extra-cardiac Kumar. This one's just desperate to assemble the winning muscle, Kumar. One more word, too many animals, Kumar. '

[Faeul] Bears in fixed turrets who still have no fear of the fury of [Faeul] and answer in a hiccup manner.

"Winning muscle assembly? I chewed everything up like that!

"Huh? That's crazy Kumar"

To the words of [Faeul], who still conceived anger,

"I haven't... I haven't even shown you half the trick."

Until then, hiccups are like lies - voices that make me horrible have returned.

- What the hell, man?

- There's a sign I can feel from my voice.

- Not at all, no.

[Faeul] even felt breathless at the signs.

[Faeul], who should be, can't breathe.

"Raw Hate, this is a lot of people's lives. Please. You can't just assemble it beautifully and truly. It's not like you've chewed it up before. '

Until then, there is no fine dust.

Only an extremely pure determination was included in that voice.

The determination to "defeat you with any hand”.

"Don't lick me, human modoki. You can't take me down. The power...... not!

As he deludes the breathlessness he feels, [Faeul] releases his words to Shu as he inspires himself.

"Is it the power or the power? I guess I have that. You're a very strong wolf, and I may be a monkey of wisdom in a poor bear skin. '

While acknowledging the curse said to [Faeul], Shu separated the words' but 'from

"Whether it's a wolf, a bear, a monkey, or a human moddle... it doesn't change much"

That's how he beat the crap out of him... and said:

- He's always breathing.

[Faeul] could not understand the meaning of the word.

but......,

"What, …?"

Immediately after that, [Faeul] felt dizzy.

That's my first experience since I became [Faeul].

I can't assume as a [faeul] with tough vitality, ill health.

"Looking down is important."

Shu communicates the words without having to worry about how [Faeul] looks like that.

"That black junction where you and the tiger were bated. I've done a lot of research, too. Shooting, dictating, singing, licking... and then kissing. '

After I mentioned such my own odd deeds,

'But I didn't want to kiss the world. It was just breathing in (...)'

I said that reason - the first step in the cause that led to the current situation.

'The breath I breathed went inside through the junction. I mean, that junction was through the air (...) So'

Trapped in a junction in the mountains, Shu found a black junction at the summit of the mountain and made every investigation, presuming that it was the cause.

The shooting is irrespective of the endurance of the junction.

The song echoes the sound.

What I dictated was whether the junction was some kind of willful bluff.

Licked is what the junction can chemically decompose.

And I kissed... the breathability of that junction.

It's an act to look into each one.

All of the acts that only seemed odd to third parties were nothing short of ascertaining the nature of the junction on the spot.

And from the nature of the junction and the internal environment, and even the combat footage with [Closer]... Shu was speculating on the viability conditions of < UBM > in front of him.

"The junction passes through the air. It means... at least the tiger needed oxygen '

Shu puts forth his reasoning.

"And now there's no oxygen in this space"

The burning of oil, which should have been so burning, has stopped.

There is no oxygen... I have used it up with the flames so far, naturally.

And if you take a closer look around, at some point the tunnel [Faeul] came in is closed.

It is closed in dirt and sand by a dirt dragon man who was waiting in advance near the cavity.

Yes, now the interior of this cavity was a confined oxygen-free space.

'It was a little bet that it would work for you... but I stepped on the odds. He's in the form of a legitimate creature, and the footage, and he's still breathing.'

So, now ask, not explain.

'I don't care if you don't drink and eat for a week... how long do you not have to breathe?

……!!

I'm breathing. My breath is inhaling.

But [Faeul] was aware that it would not go around his body.

Naturally.

The oxygen needed to sustain life has already been lost, and the remaining components in the air are about carbon monoxide produced by nitrogen and incomplete combustion.

Some monsters will be able to sustain life in that environment.

[Shadow Wolf] called by [Faeul] would also have no problem because it is a shadow in the shape of a wolf.

But... [Tealwolf] based [Faeul] wasn't.

I already have an abnormal state of [acid deficiency].

Other than that, several state anomalies were identified that were thought to be caused by poisoning due to increased carbon monoxide concentrations.

HP keeps decreasing, and I can't breathe long enough.

'Oh, before... is...?

"Why am I safe?"

[Faeul] asks, and Shu answers like it's nothing.

"Throw in the oxygen-generated magic items used by the Tundra people inside the stationary turret."

Hearing the words, [Faeul] ran.

Because I can't leave the destruction of the fixed turret to [Shadow Wolf].

Using his own power, he must immediately break the fixed turret and acquire a magic item of oxygen production inside.

At this moment now, [Faeul] 's mood was the same as that night.

I was being driven by fear.

"Gaaaaaa!!"

The armor of the stationary turret is instantly distorted by the force of [Faeul], which is < UBM >.

It moves hard and consumes remaining oxygen in the body, while attacking the stationary turret.

And the stationary turret was destroyed in less than a minute.

'.................. ah?

But... no one (...) was inside the stationary turret.

There was just a bear-wearing guru (...) all over the juice of [Garrell's fruit].

Of course, there are no oxygen generating magic items.

"That was a lie earlier"

Such wireless audio (...) was heard from the remains of a fixed turret.

"Fixed turret buldle, unable to move and hard to use, but also has advantages"

The radio separates words once there,

"I can remotely manipulate (...)"

TYPE is still the third form of buldle, but it can be installed and operated in one place.

That's what put it beside the junction, as it operated as a surveillance camera.

"Remote, yeah?

'Oh. So, I went into that cavity, but I've already escaped by putting down only the Valdor. Before you jump in here. "

Wireless continues to seed.

Both that conversation and… the conversation that has been going on since earlier is a measure to cut the time left in [Faeul].

But still, [Faeul] listens.

"As soon as I entered the cavity, I was just taking off my clothes and throwing them into the buldle and escaping first in a pre-prepared tunnel. Yeah, just when you lit the oil. '

The smell stained in the dressing is not to mislead the smell of oil, but to mislead your existence.

And that flaming wall at the exit wasn't a wall, it wasn't a glare to hit the shell... it was a curtain.

Not to be seen setting up a trick.

At the same time… it is also an instrument of execution that deprives the confined space of oxygen and drives [Faeul] to death.

……………………

[Faeul] has no words.

The point is, this was what I was after from the beginning.

Makes you think you are, attracts you, chokes you to death in this underground space.

Maybe there was also a reason I just didn't bury him alive with dirt sand.

No, if it was actually just buried in dirt sand, [Faeul] might have been able to deal with it.

They could have gotten out on the ground in excavations by countless shadow wolves.

But how about this cavity?

Until earlier, attention was only paid to flames and fixed turrets, but if you look closely, the walls are badly cemented. It would be due to earthly magic.

Perhaps if you try to dig this to the ground, [Faeul] 's breath runs out before you complete it.

It was a suffocation scheme aimed at it, and it was this cavity.

This was a grave for...... [Faeul].

Shu made this plan because there were people who were good at handling the soil called the Tsurugi people.

But I can also say this.

There was a Turkish-dragon tribe that could do that, and they asked me to crusade < UBM >, so I planned to use the power of the Turkish-dragon tribe.

Later, Shu Sterling became a superior position [King of Destruction] and fought a huge STR-driven battle.

Shu Sterling carries out the annihilation battle in the Seventh Form Baldor, a battleship of great firepower to.

But that's... just because he has them (...) assembling such battles.

The real thing is, there he is.

With the bills at hand, I can make every assembly to grasp the possibilities I want.

Once, at the Unlimited Punk Lation world tournament, as I used that fact to be the culmination, with my right leg broken before the game.

Shu Sterling...... Shuichi Shigemitsu truly excelled only in assembling winning muscles, not in talent.

Either way, the situation is already packed.

There's nothing [Faeul] can do as it is, just wait for death.

The moment I understood it, a moment of inactivity arose in [Faeul] 's mind -

"Aaaaaaaa!!"

Immediately after, the shadow of [Faeul] explodes.

Countless, that's what truly countless [shadow wolves] overflow and fill their cavities with their own bodies.

It is the will of the dying.

Candle brilliance.

Using all of his own residual MP, [Faeul] calls [Shadow Wolf] beyond the limit.

Even the remains of the tortica were about to be crushed by a herd of [shadow wolves] swelling to more than the volume of space.

But before that, it was - this cavity itself - that reached its limits.

Some of the reinforced walls collapse due to the pressure of the [shadow wolf] overflowing from the inside.

Torn is the wall that blocks the tunnel to the exit that Shu himself used to escape.

In advance, a wall left behind so that it can be torn with strong force (...).

That was broken down by the pressure of [Shadow Wolf],

The exit opens,

The moment the oxygen poured in... everything was stained with a blue flame.

A phenomenon called backdraft exists.

An explosion that occurs when new oxygen is blown into a confined space filled with heated carbon monoxide gas.

Carbon monoxide burns up at once by bonding with fresh oxygen, causing an explosion in the direction of oxygen.

The second (...) trick from the end that Shu set up in the fight against [Faeul] is exactly that.

Backdraft reaction caused by the creation of a tunnel to the exit.

The shadow wolf indoors burns out in an instant with the blue flame produced by the burning of carbon monoxide, the tortica melts and burns the whole body of [Faeul] with more flames than ever before.

"VOWooooooooo!!"

But [Faeul] himself was burning his whole body down a flaming corridor… running down the road to the ground.

Scorching himself… [Faeul] walks into the open tunnel to the ground.

Keep running with the tough vitality of < UBM > as you scorch your throat into the scorching air.

Thus, on the path of [Faeul], which lasted for about two minutes - something stood up.

That's a hammer.

Large hammers, such as those used by people with both hands, are standing with their striking parts buried in tunnel soil.

It's like a sign or something.

"Gaaaaaaaa!!"

Crushing the hammer of the obstacle into pieces, [Faeul] still runs.

Shortly thereafter, [Faeul] escaped to the ground.

"Ha, ha."

An oxygen-rich atmosphere that did not conceive of heat gently passed through the trachea of [Faeul] and tried to heal the body -

"-" Broken wood ""

- At that moment, a kick stuck in [Faeul] 's throat.

"But, ah, ah?

That's due to people's feet.

Something that hasn't even activated your skills.

That attack had not reduced HP as much, and [Faeul] left the tunnel intact.

But...

"but ahhhhh?

[Faeul] realizes.

I can't breathe, he said.

The neck bone says the trachea is distorted and you can't breathe in.

Part of the neck bone is [fractured].

"Even with my power, you could have misaligned every little bone in your neck."

By the tunnel stood a stranger to [Faeul] - a man who unleashed a kick.

Long-haired man with long black hair on his back, long for a human.

Not looking very sturdy, a man dressed in early gear (...) clothes.

With such a slightly unrecognizable appearance... its voice is the same as that of a previous bear or radio.

Yes, he was Shu Sterling.

Now I broke some of the bones in [Faeul] 's neck due to his kicking.

Kicking by an unusually high STR as a junior position because it is a [broker] was knocked in with no more precise orbit and timing - slightly slacking the bones in [Faeul] 's neck.

"……… O, ma"

I was after him.

I'm forced to dive through a narrow tunnel and come out, at that moment.

With the sound of eliminating the hammer that was placed on the tunnel, predict when [Faeul] will come out.

The moment I came out of this tunnel, the only exit, to break my neck and stop breathing.

To stop the roots of my breath (...).

Yes, the last trick that Shu assembled was...... Shu Sterling himself.

"Where, so..."

"I strike every hand when I absolutely have to win. I don't condone them, and I don't have feelings for them. I don't care if it looks good (...)"

So cut the words,

"So I used everything I could use... and let me grasp the possibility"

Yes, I declared to [Faeul] face to face.

…………

[Faeul] is the man in front of you...... look into the eyes of a man who threw up shameless words, if at all.

But its raw eyes, which were not crops, were... very clear.

There was no shame in there for his own deeds, and at the same time there was no dark joy of "doing it in tune with the measures".

And I'm not even looking at this one like a target (...) or something without fear of death, like the human modoki I saw that day.

I just keep figuring out how to beat a mighty enemy named [Faeul], and I keep seeing [Faeul] at this moment.

That was a very, very serious eye.

Unlike those living and inanimate human moddies.

Same as Faeul, his former companions, and all the creatures that were in that ecosystem.

Of the living, were the eyes.

…………

So I think [Faeul] is fuzzy.

This man wondered if [Faeul] even had these eyes that night when he escaped in a heartbeat.

"... come on, I want to stay"

[Faeul] is aware.

There is no raw beyond this anymore.

Assuming he defeats the man in front of him, [Faeul] will never breathe again and soon die using up his life force.

If this had been a self-regenerating capability < UBM > it might have been different.

But Hate and [Faeul] and [Closer] who fought [Faeul] were not of that type.

So there's nothing I can do.

But at the end of the day, I just wanted to dispel the doubt.

So consume the slightest air left in your lungs and exhale the words.

"You were there, right?

I wondered if the bear I saw that day was the man in front of me.

I also inquired, not knowing if it would pass with the word "then".

Shu nodded as he still understood.

"Oh. I'm sure... I know you too"

That reply, [Faeul] wonders.

Now, how do you remember who you were when you were [Tealwolf]?

But there were bigger questions than that.

Why didn't you tell me?

That day, that night.

He killed only the monsters who tried to slaughter the wolves that would be [Faeul], and didn't shoot the wolves that would be [Faeul]...

I am now convinced that it will not be out of ammo etc.

"That's you, isn't it?

"I did make a wolf... probably let you get away with it once"

Give me a reason. Give me a reason.

So [Faeul] wanted to hear why.

"Oh, good."

To [Faeul] 's words, Shu nodded.

It was Shu who tried to discuss [Faeul] by assembling multiple measures, but the prospect is no longer reached.

The life of [Faeul], who suffered severe [burns] all over his body and fell into [acid deprivation] after being cut off from breathing, will not last forever.

Even if Shu was killed by the last force, surely [Faeul] dies.

I can fulfill my purpose.

So Shu listened to [Faeul] 's request.

I started telling him what he saw, what kept him alive and why he missed it.

Even a souvenir of the underworld, there is a maze.

"I was in Noz Forest that day, and I saw a herd of [Tealwolves] fleeing (...)"

So Shu started talking a little early.

Because I tried to tell him everything before [Faeul] 's life ran out.

'... um, let?

Shu nods and continues his words.

"Behind us was a group of < masters > chasing the herd"

Shu was a bystander that day.

In the first place, [Tealwolf] is not the right opponent, even from the level of Shu at that time.

Because Shu's level with a pair of battle-specific weapons, the Gatling Cannon, had earlier exceeded the proper level of Noz Forest.

That day I was in the process of walking back to the hunting grounds to the north more than the Noz Forest.

That's when we found the wolf, his flock, and his group.

"The wolf running the lead was huge at first sight and looked like the head of the herd"

to [Faeul]...... Says Shu, looking slightly at the shadow on the wolf who is no longer [Tealwolf].

"But little by little < master > caught me up, little by little less"

Remembering what was going on at the time...... Shu mouths certain facts that [Faeul] does not know.

"When I tried to be attacked by even one running at the head of the herd... a wolf sheltered right beside me"

…………

"I watched many, many, fly out and scatter to protect the back of one of the leading heads"

"...... ah"

So, [Faeul] realizes.

That night, at that time, there was always blood on my own back running away.

But that's crazy.

Because I escaped.

There's no way the blood of the people I left on the spot could fall on my own back who ran away.

So that means......

"Didn't I just run away by one?

"... oh, what I saw... is a bunch of people running away with you in the lead"

…………

At that time, it was terribly confusing.

I only remember turning my heels back in front and fleeing immediately.

So I didn't even remember if I said "let's run" to the herd I led.

It was horrible and I couldn't turn around, so I didn't even know if someone was following me back there.

That would certainly be a downfall.

But he... he didn't run off with the other guys on the spot while he was the head.

"Ah, me, ha, …"

- I didn't survive because I left my people and ran away alone.

- Because my people helped me (...)... I survived.

- Mine, the red on my back...

Yes, the red on the back is not a cross of sin.

It is… a sign that his people, who fled together, took refuge with their lives in order to protect him.

I wanted him to live...... the thoughts of my people themselves.

I watched the whole thing, so Shu also helped him that day from other monsters, missed it, and let him live.

At the same time, [Faeul], who missed it that day, triggered this commotion, so he did everything to “end” it.

............... Or maybe he couldn't watch.

'Ha, ha, ha...'

[Faeul] who figured it all out, laughs as he leaks the little air left.

He looks like he's gonna cry, and he's laughing.

"Oh, well... well..."

- Take it personally.

- Trying to die for self-immolation.

- Be a bucket before I know it.

- Raging to distract loneliness.

"Honey, by the way... silly, hey"

[Faeul] 's... tears overflow from the eyes of only one surviving wolf.

I thought it was lonely and lost hope for my own raw life… I noticed the error, but it was because of it.

I realized that I should only have lived with pride, that life that my people protected me from... tears.

"Nah, ah..."

"What?"

"Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

"You don't know."

Shu cut it off in one word,

"That's... ask those guys directly"

I pointed to one point.

It is the exit of the tunnel… black smoke that can be stood in easily due to internal combustion.

That's just smoke.

But is it my fault?

Some of the smoke that rises like that is... shaped like a wolf.

"Mi, na..."

The smoke, also visible to the wolf, rose towards heaven after being circled and slightly swayed as if dancing.

Smoke rising in the sky shakes like waiting for something again... it goes up a little bit.

"Oh... me too, how dare you..., sorry... thank you..."

That's how [Lonely Wolf Shadow Faeul] was named to the world... one [Tealwolf] who wasn't lonely closes his eyes.

No one knows who that last apology and gratitude was directed at.

I don't even know if the last smoke he saw was just a coincidence or if his people really picked him up.

But after uttering the word as it was saved, the wolf became dust of light... mixed with smoke and ascended to heaven and disappeared.

…………

[< UBM > [Lonely Wolf Shadow Faeul] has been crusaded]

[I elect MVP]

[[Shu Sterling] has been elected MVP]

[I give [Shu Sterling] an MVP reward [Supa-Kigurumi Shirizu Phew Phew]]

"... let it go"

while throwing up against mechanical announcements.

Shu Sterling saw the end of one he had seen… the smoke rising into the sky.

To be continued
