Chapter 83 - Spider Den in Suwon Station (1) (1/2)
Werewolves were a very strong race, so they were not killed just because they were hit with a few arrows.
“Kuuuuuuh…”
Puk!
The Werewolf pulled out the arrow stuck in his chest. Blood spilled over his fur, but the wound would soon recover, but it didn’t mean he could break through the skeletons’ siege. Since he was surrounded by so many skeletons, there was no way he could escape no matter how hard he tried.
“It looks like the arrow wasn’t stuck in his mouth, but why couldn’t he speak?”
At that moment, the Werewolf immediately opened his mouth, “It is a quest…”
“Quest?”
“Right. When we become quest beasts and lose our reason, we are given a quest. I don’t have the power to discern what it is, but I instinctively follow it,” the Werewolf replied.
The player acts as the “horse” of this game, and the quest imposes its purpose on that player.
What the Werewolf meant was that even a similar system was being applied to those who could not become players and the human beasts.
“What the heck is it?”
“Simple. All I have to do is eat humans. I need to eat a total of ten humans.”
The Werewolf’s message was clear and menacing.
Sungwoo nodded and said, “After that, you come back to your senses.”
“Right.”
There was a reason why the human beasts ran around like crazy when they found humans. The instinct forced by the system prodded them to eat humans by all means.
“Are there any more Werewolves like you?”
When Sungwoo asked, he blew a nostril and said, “Of course there are. Almost all the humans were killed, but there are still lots of stupid players everywhere.”
“That’s not what I’m asking you. I’m asking you if there are more like you in this area.”
The Werewolf couldn’t open his mouth, which meant he admitted it.
“Yes, there are more.”
“…”
“Let me ask you one more question. Were you responsible for breaking the stores?”
Those who destroyed the stores left a message without any exception. And there was a reasonable suspicion that the message seemed to have been written in something like claws.
But the Werewolf shook his head and said, “We’re not responsible for that.”
“How can I believe you?”
Another Werewolf standing behind Sungwoo stepped out and shouted angrily, “We are not real! There are other guys here!”
“You, shut up!”
“Uncle, but…”
“I told you to shut up!”
The Werewolf, called uncle by another Werewolf, pressed down his shoulder hard.
However, Sungwoo raised his eyebrows at that. Other Werewolves?
“Other guys? I need to know who they are,” Sungwoo demanded.
The uncle Werewolf looked somewhat embarrassed, but soon opened his mouth.
“Hah… We just get by to survive. After we have restored our reason, we hardly hunt humans, but there are some of us who have extreme hostility towards humans. They unite and attack the players. Breaking the stores would weaken the players, of course.”
“Is it something like an anti-human coalition of human beasts?”
The uncle shook his head and said, “There are not just human beasts. Even mad scientists whose identities are a mystery joined. In fact, they are the main pillars of the coalition, and the human beasts joined them later.”
Human beasts and mad scientists who hate human players? Sungwoo smelled a rat.
‘Are they the door-to-door sellers?’
They made weird items, which included several items related to ‘Human Beast Transformation Ampoule,’ in particular.
When Sungwoo was lost in thought for a moment, the Werewolf’s attitude began to change. The Werewolf, called uncle, pulled out the arrow stuck in his body and stood, squaring his shoulders.
“Sungwoo, a few more Werewolves approached nearer to you.”
Apparently, this group of human beasts had a fairly systematic hunting method.
They placed snipers in the rear and rooftop of the building. Besides, their reinforcements appeared as soon as they were in danger. Obviously, there must have been reinforcements that Sungwoo didn’t notice.
