Ch.31EP 1 Fenrir

“Are you really going to do this?”

“Whine…”

Aurel asked me with anxious eyes.

Hwang-gu seemed to share Aurel’s concern, whimpering repeatedly.

“Wait here.”

“But… it’s too dangerous…”

I nodded.

I know. It’s an extremely dangerous idea.

What sane person would think of luring the Fenrir from Seoul Station and pitting it against these creatures?

The distance from here to Seoul Station isn’t that far.

If I run at full speed, I could get there within 5 minutes.

I was curious. Just how strong is Fenrir that all users have given up on defeating it and resigned themselves to this life?

Fenrir is the boss of Episode 1.

If I defeat it, something might change.

After all, the world has transformed into something like a game.

So I decided to move forward to satisfy my curiosity.

No special preparation was needed.

I simply took a running stance and spread my wings behind me.

Flap-!

Was it because I had absorbed MoonRabbitVv?

My body felt energized, and the wings spread behind me were larger than usual.

“Stay hidden.”

After saying goodbye to Hwang-gu and Aurel, I started running.

I kicked off the ground and soared as if riding the wind.

Whoosh-!

A blast of force erupted behind me.

With each flap of my wings, my body accelerated.

Gliding through the air, riding the wind.

With that swift advance, I soon reached the vicinity of Seoul Station.

From a distance, I could see the shape of a massive beast entering my field of vision.

A creature with a much larger build than ordinary werewolves.

This was Fenrir.

It wasn’t showing any particular movement.

It just stood there blankly, staring straight ahead.

Looking at it like this, it didn’t seem especially strong.

Thinking that, I took a step toward it.

Thud-

At that moment, Fenrir began to move.

Its head, which had been staring straight ahead, suddenly turned to look at me.

Cold, frozen eyes. Heat began to rise within them until they glowed bright red.

[GRAAAAARGH!]

A tremendous roar erupted from deep within its body.

That strange and terrible roar shook the air.

“Ugh…”

A groan escaped me naturally.

Cold sweat ran down my back.

I couldn’t tell from a distance, but now facing it directly, I understood why users had given up fighting Fenrir.

At that moment.

Crack-!

Fenrir suddenly kicked the ground and began charging.

As Fenrir started moving, the Fusion Bodies around it moved as well.

The pressure created by those massive muscles and sharp teeth was considerable.

I took a deep breath and turned to start running.

Thump-!

I began sprinting through the ruined city, with Fenrir quickly giving chase behind me.

Unlike me, who used buildings as stepping stones to fly through the air, Fenrir used its massive body to crush everything in its path.

Boom-!

Boom-!

Boom-!

Buildings began collapsing one after another.

A large, half-collapsed commercial building completely crumbled, and from within the debris, Fenrir leaped into the air.

Crack-!

The distance between Fenrir and me narrowed instantly.

At that moment, attack ranges appeared through my Mystic Eye.

Red markers appeared on my thighs and chest.

I immediately flapped my wings to change direction.

At the same time, Fenrir’s sharp claws sliced through the air.

Swish-!

A chilling sound of wind being cut.

Having failed its attack, Fenrir started running again.

There wasn’t even time to catch my breath.

I ran quickly while avoiding Fenrir’s attacks.

If I didn’t have wings, I would certainly have been torn apart by Fenrir’s claws.

How long had I been running? Though the distance wasn’t great, being chased by Fenrir consumed a tremendous amount of mental energy.

Gasping for breath, I flew up into the air.

Crack-!

A flight toward the pale moon.

Upon reaching a high position, I used the brief hovering time to locate the human users.

At that moment, I made eye contact with a human user in the distance.

He looked startled, then pulled out a gun from behind his back.

Precise aim targeting me.

A red marker appeared over my chest.

If I didn’t dodge, I’d be hit.

I moved my wings to change direction in mid-air.

Flap-!

Bang-!

A bright flash shot toward the sky along with a loud gunshot.

At that moment, Fenrir, who had been chasing me, turned its gaze sideways.

It showed a strong reaction to the gunshot.

If the human user had spotted both me and Fenrir at the same time, he wouldn’t have fired.

But from where the human user was standing, Fenrir wasn’t visible.

The human user, unaware of Fenrir’s presence, prepared for his next attack.

Aimed right at me.

Another red marker appeared.

I moved my wings again to change my position.

Right after that, another loud gunshot rang out.

Bang-!

As the gunshot sounded, Fenrir began to move.

The aggro had completely shifted.

As Fenrir’s aggro shifted, the Fusion Bodies following it also changed targets.

I flapped my wings and slowly descended onto a tall building.

-AAAAARGH!

The price for drawing Fenrir’s aggro was steep.

A desperate scream echoed from across the city.

At the same time, the smell of blood began to spread.

Bang-! Bang-! Ratatata-!

[GRAAAAARGH!]

Fenrir’s roar mixed with gunshots spread throughout the ruined city.

I stayed put where I had landed, just in case.

I remained still, worried that Fenrir might come after me, but fortunately, it didn’t return.

There’s no time to waste. I flew to the building where Hwang-gu and Aurel were waiting.

Flap-!

“Charlotte!”

“Charlotte!”

After a few wing flaps across buildings, two girls rushed out from inside.

Seeing that both were unharmed, I let out a sigh of relief.

-S-save meee!

-Don’t stop!

-AAAAARGH!!!

-Oh shit!!!

Urgent voices of humans could be heard from beyond the tall buildings.

I exchanged glances with the children before moving to a suitable location.

We arrived at the second floor of a building.

Peeking outside slightly, I could see the battle between the human users and Fenrir.

The two human users who had been on lookout were rolling on the ground with their upper and lower bodies separated.

The eight personnel who had been investigating the sewers were still alive.

At that moment, Fenrir charged toward one human while taking a barrage of bullets.

-U-UAAAAGH! STAY AWAY!!!

A scream that was almost a wail.

The human user sprayed bullets at Fenrir until the end, but couldn’t stop its charge.

Boom!

With a powerful impact, the human user was sent flying.

From the way he flew, I could tell his arms and legs were bent in grotesque directions.

Of course, Fenrir’s attack didn’t end there.

It started running toward the flying human.

Arriving faster than his flight speed, Fenrir snatched the airborne human user with its mouth.

Crunch-!

-GYAAAAARGH!

A chilling sound of bones breaking accompanied the human user’s scream.

Even during this, bullets continued to rain down on Fenrir’s body.

Through my Mystic Eye, I could see Fenrir’s health decreasing slightly, but it showed no particular reaction.

The humans chose to flee after another victim fell.

-Run away!

-Hurry, hurry move!

Fenrir had disposed of another person in the same way.

The humans seemed terrified by the sight of blood dripping from those sharp teeth.

They frantically turned around and got on the motorcycles they had arrived on.

Of course, Fenrir wouldn’t just stand by and watch.

Vrooom-!

Fenrir charged toward a human who was just starting the engine and about to pull the accelerator.

As the motorcycle’s wheels began to spin rapidly, Fenrir’s mouth opened wide and bit into the human user’s shoulder.

Crunch!

-UAAAAARGH!

A loud scream and a bright red stream of blood erupted simultaneously.

The human user whose shoulder was bitten by Fenrir reached out toward his companions.

But his hand couldn’t reach them.

His companions chose to flee rather than rescue him.

Vrooom-!

With a rough engine roar.

As the motorcycle wheels spun rapidly, five human users shot forward.

And so Fenrir was left alone.

After devouring all the humans it had hunted, Fenrir began looking around.

Its bloodshot eyes scanned the surroundings for a long time.

Eventually, seeing nothing around it, Fenrir returned to its original position.

“Phew…”

Only then did a sigh of relief escape me.

Aurel and Hwang-gu also seemed to relax, slumping against me.

Their skin felt quite soft against mine.

“Ahem…”

I cleared my throat and stood up.

My curiosity had been satisfied, and what I wanted remained there.

Now that Fenrir had left, it was time to collect the remaining spoils.

Unfortunately, there were no items left by the human users.

It seemed that Fenrir had swallowed the items along with the bodies.

“Sniff sniff…! Sniff sniff…!”

Hwang-gu seemed interested in the smells left on the ground and began sniffing while lying flat.

Leaving Hwang-gu behind, I approached the large motorcycle.

The motorcycle parked in the corner was in good condition.

There was some blood splattered on it, but that could be wiped off.

“Are you going to ride this…?”

“Yes.”

I nodded at Aurel’s question and got on the motorcycle.

With a light jump, I sat down.

“My feet don’t reach…”

I frowned and stretched my short legs out.

But my short legs couldn’t reach the ground.

And it wasn’t just my legs that were short.

In a comfortable sitting position, my hands couldn’t reach the motorcycle’s handlebars.

“Eeek…!”

Stretch-!

No matter how much I stretched my hands and feet, short things don’t become longer.

How could I ride the motorcycle?

After pondering with a serious expression for a while.

Finally, I came up with one solution.

“Aurel. Hwang-gu.”

“Yes?”

“Yes?”

“Come here.”

The method to ride the motorcycle.

It was for the three of us to combine.

If the three of us joined together, we could somehow make it work.

I pushed Aurel and Hwang-gu toward the footrest.
