Volume 1, 3-4: Wolf of Darkness

They decided to caht

Everyone was exhausted, but Fin chose to keep watch without saying anything The stars popped out from the cracks in the clouds, but as the moon wasn’t out, the area was dark Only Audia’s square lantern provided any light for him to rely on The clear, smooth slope of the hill was very ether in their sleep

Ti he waited, Leena didn’t show up

(As expected)

Fin sighed and surveyed the campsite Oandus didn’t look like he could sleep well due to the pain He continuously shi+fted around and gru his moans due the pain of his injuries Nellis was quiet, but when he peered into her face, he noticed that her face was dirty with traces of tears strea down her face He even heard the stifled sniffles and cries of the children

Fin became aware that his own mind and spirit had suffered a considerable blow His body hurt all over When he went to check on ould be on the next shi+ft for night watch, he was shocked that Iguros wasn’t there The scene fro him to shudder

(I have hold out for a little longer We’ve co else can……)

—First off, we’re right in front of the provincial capital, you know?—

His thoughts trailed off to the words Iguros had said during the day When he realized that, he shuddered again The th in his head, letting it drop in between his knees It was half due to sleepiness

Oh, that was dangerous Fin rubbed his eyes and stretched His body felt like a block of cold clay as he felt more and more depressed

(Leena)

Fin thought of the girl as he glared at the shadow of the hill that cut into bluish-black night sky His desire to see her was unbearable He wanted her hand to touch him and to be surrounded by the fluffy clouds of war him to sleep However

(…It’ll probably be painful for Leena She’ll have to be in contact with the e)

He let out a deep sigh

He didn’t desire power and only wanted peace of ht of such excuses, he noticed a twinkle in the corner of his eye

His body froze in surprise and reflectively stared in that direction He recalled his tiht disappeared, the fear woke him as if his sleepy head had cold water splashed on it

“—!”

He gasped and half rose to his feet Audia’ square lantern eakly flickering

(Are you kidding me?)

It wasn’t a fire that could easily be put out He had thought that the oil had run out, but when he shook it, there was enough still left inside Despite that, the light eak, al out

When Fin had realized what this meant, he was hit by shock

(So must have happened to Lady Fianera)

This blessed square lantern housed the priestess Fianera’s divine protection, al scent If any abnormalities were to happen to the person, then they would appear in the lantern as well

(It couldn’t be)

The hts appeared, Fin heard that all-too-familiar sound and quickly turned around His hand instinctively grabbed his sword

Dark clouds once again covered the sky, causing the foot of the hill to be absorbed into the darkness

Pop Pop Blue, phosphorescent lights were lit inside this darkness that ashi+ng over like a wave of dark water Screech The pair of lights swayed with the sound of claws

Fin took a quick look around his surroundings There didn’t seeerous if they ran Therein wait in the areas where the lantern’s light doesn’t reach It was sht and protect themselves

“Wake up!” Fin tried to scream

But right as he was about to, the inhaled air froze his voice He choked on the extreerously almost dropped his sword

(Not, in this place…we’ve come this far, to just be annihilated)

He forced histeeth and took a stance with his sword

Shuu The chill echoed through the darkness The ertips of that darkness, he was overcoth It looked like his comrades behind him were covered with ice

(No)

Nellis, Uncle, Aunt, Max—that’s right, Fernaine as well He swore to Iguros that he would definitely protect her

The darkness slowly drew closer to hiiven hiht back his soul He lit his slowly freezing life with fire, throwing hisspirit into it

Crunch crunch…

The Beast of Darkness drew closer along with the sound of icicles being crushed

Fin’s eyes were beco for the attack He could probably get just one counterattack in before he is eaten Additionally, if he could scream or make some noise, then it should wake someone up
