Chapter 110 (1/2)
Remus’ Heart held in my hand beat wildly, spreading a black night. It was as if it was recognizing Remus’ enemy in front of it. It felt rough.
Reinhardt’s voice was heard from behind me. “Hah? What did you call me just now? Do you know who I am?”
“Get away if you don’t want to be hurt. I won’t say it twice.”
I wasn’t just telling him. It was meant for everyone here. They looked absurd or confused. At the same time, I started running toward Minotaur. “It has been a while, Romelana.”
[The wolf star, ‘Romelana,’ is looking at you.]
“I need your strength.”
[The wolf star, ‘Romelana,’ is nodding.]
A white thunderbolt suddenly fell. It struck me and my entire body felt full of strength. This was a symbol of Romelana’s power—the white night. In the midst of the bright waves of power, I remembered my agreement with her before I left the North Pole.
‘Remus’ Heart is different from ordinary Star Pieces. It is the origin of Remus himself. You can’t endure it.’
‘So what can I do?’
‘I’ll help you.’
[The mighty power of the stars surrounds you.]
[Your body can’t handle it.]
[You might die of overload.]
Despite raising my level, Romelana’s strength put tremendous strain on my body. An explosive power was surging from within. I gritted my teeth and held on. Groan. This was real power. The burden of excessive star spirit was rather poisonous. This was why I collapsed for two days last time.
Still, it would be a different story if I could unleash this enormous force.

I felt the black night spreading out from the heart. I held it to my chest as Romelana had told me. Remus’ Heart was absorbed and I suddenly felt my body twisting. My bones twisted and my muscles warped. An unbearable pain overturned, smashed, and bit at my entire body. The enormous star spirit that seemed to explode was also escaping.
[Kuhahaha! Human! You’re a really crazy guy! Interesting! Hahaha!]
Mudur laughed loudly but I was already half out of my mind. It was so painful that I couldn’t even scream. The skeleton and muscles of my body were already not what I knew.
[Your body is being reconstructed.]
[Your legs are changing so you can run more flexibly.]
[Your nails and toenails are growing longer.]
[The cold poison dwells in your body.]
[The hair of your entire body is starting to grow.]
[The blood of the noble wolf...]
There were countless messages but I couldn’t check all of them. The black night spread from my chest to all over my body and my body grew bigger. Suddenly, I was moving on four legs.
“W-What is this?”
“A wolf?”
“It is a real wolf, not just a wolf mask?”
Those behind me firmly misunderstood. I wanted to make excuses but it was too late. I had already become a giant wolf. “Awoooooo!”
[The constellation skill: Black Night’s Arrival has been triggered.]
I cried out to the sky and black snow started to fall. The lava in the vicinity cooled down and the surrounding landscape was altered. On one side, there was lava and on the other side, there was a black snowstorm. I was filled with a strange pleasure as I examined myself. This was the feeling of being a constellation.
[Your current level is too low.]
[It is hard to draw out all the power.]
[The duration of the transformation is fixed at 10 minutes.]
[Some constellations are supplying you with the power of the stars.]
A Star Piece could be called a part of a constellation. This meant the power contained in it was only one part and limited. However, it was different now. Remus’ Heart changed me to a being similar to Remus. This was Remus’ life, not an ordinary Star Piece.
[The wolf star, ‘Romelana,’ is looking at you with sad eyes.]
However, I wasn’t Remus. Minotaur looked perplexed from where he was running with the lava.
“Gruruk. How are you here...?”
[What? What? I’m here for revenge. You cow bastard.]
At the same time, I rushed toward Minotaur. The encounter of two giant monsters produced tremendous shockwaves and messed up the surroundings. Trees were broken and turned to ashes. The fields had already started to crumble from the disaster sweeping over it and there was no peaceful Windy Hill. It was already covered in lava and now it was covered in snow. It was becoming a mess.
I escaped Minotaur’s hammer, ducked under it, and bit his ankle. Minotaur frowned at the immense cold poison. ”Kuuack! You!”
The burning hammer skimmed over the hair on my back.
I dodged it by a hair’s breadth and Minotaur shouted, lava flowing from his mouth, “A wolf dares...!”
Minotaur had no flesh because the lava surrounding him seemed to act as solid armor. If so, I was going to use this.
[The constellation skill: Black Night Wolves Summoning has been triggered.]
Wolves rose from the darkness that dyed the earth. They were black night wolves that exerted 10% of my power. They might be weak but the story was different if the number reached 100. Minotaur snorted fire from the nose. “Grruk. It really is you. Have you come to get revenge because you lost one eye to my father?”
[You are half right.]
“Half? What does that mean?”
[You touched something you shouldn’t have touched.]
“What is that?”
[Windia.]
Once again, I charged at Minotaur. This time, it was a bit different from before. I had triggered Beast's Instincts, one of the constellation skills.
“Kuaack!”
Even Minotaur wouldn't be able to beat such a large number of black night wolves. For the first time, I was able to deal him an effective blow. Minotaur wielded his hammer and killed a wolf but they would continue to survive as long as the black night lasted. I didn’t stop and continued to attack. Now he had less than 20% of his health left. Wait, why did he only have this much health? Who attacked him?
