Kieran, who was planning to retreat into the valley, halted his steps and squinted his eyes at the buff man who was throwing himself at him.
A fire at the city gate would bring disaster to the fish in the moat.
The fish in the moat were innocent and powerless to resist, so they were cooked alive by the boiling river.
However, Kieran wasn't an innocent fish in the moat.
Even if Kieran was some kind of creature hiding in the river, he was a prehistoric crocodile!
When he was quietly in the river, he was like a floating log, but once he was enraged and showed his ferocious teeth, anyone who provoked him would not be able to escape!
Everyone would be swallowed in a single bite!
Bang!
Kieran raised his leg and kicked the buff man's face hard.
Amidst the noise of teeth and bones breaking, the buff man's head deformed visibly and he was sent flying away as if he was hit by a truck.
Before he even landed on the ground.
The buff man was no longer breathing.
His body also underwent an unexpected change.
His head and torso were still human, but his limbs were like a wolf's.
Not just this one, the other three were the same.
Bang Bang Bang!
One kick per person.
The buff man's three companions were sent flying away.
Their bodies had also transformed into the same monstrous form.
As for showing mercy?
Kieran didn't have such a thing.
Since he made a move, he was an enemy.
To an enemy, a dead one was the best.
The lady, who was wrapped in black clothes and wearing a felt hat, couldn't help but widen her blue eyes.
When she saw Kieran walking over, her eyes were filled with disbelief and her vigilance was higher than ever before, even though Kieran was just checking the four monstrous bodies.
"Not a werewolf?"
Kieran looked at the four corpses, feeling a little strange.
This was quite different from what he had guessed before.
At first, Kieran thought he had encountered a rather famous creature described in books, but he didn't expect it to be a different kind of creature.
Based on what Kieran knew, werewolves could be divided into three forms: human, wolf, and hybrid.
The two forms of human and wolf were as the name suggested.
If they were mixed together, they would take the form of a wolf and move in a human-like manner.
To put it simply, a wolf that walked on its hind legs was not only three to five times stronger than it was in its normal state, but it was also quite rational and would not lose its nature due to the impact of its wild nature.
In a book called "Nocturnal Werewolf", Nikorei had also mentioned a special kind of werewolf that was mixed with vampires.
Of course, those were special werewolves that could be ignored.
However, regardless of which it was, Kieran had never come into contact with such a strange half-human half-wolf existence.
After inspecting the four corpses carefully, Kieran stood up and looked at the lady who was covered in wounds.
"They are not werewolves in the traditional sense. Other than her, they are all ordinary people who have been infected by the wolf plague. However, they think that they are in good condition now."
"I can give you my prey, but you need to let me go."
The other party replied straightforwardly.
Obviously, after witnessing Kieran's strength, the lady, who wasn't naive at all, knew what she should do was the right thing.
Kieran shook his head.
"What do I have to pay to leave?
I'm just chasing after Sharly, I don't mean any hostility or disrespect to you. "
The lady explained but her hand was holding her bow tightly.
Looking at her face, Kieran was sure that if he asked for something over the line, she wouldn't lack the determination to risk her life.
But …
It wasn't useful at all.
Kieran appeared behind the lady in a flash and knocked her out with a clear chop.
Kieran was in deep thought when he saw the lady on the ground and the unconscious werewolf Sharly.
Supreme Road was huge, why would they appear here?
Coincidence?
Sorry, Kieran never believed in coincidences.
Kieran grabbed both of them and returned to the valley.
He decided to interrogate the two of them.
…
Sharly felt the pain on her body.
However, after the pain subsided, she clearly felt her strength returning.
The suppressed wild power quickly burst out from the depths of her body, allowing her injuries to recover rapidly, and the feeling of weakness left her.
Then, Sharly opened her eyes.
She saw Kieran sitting in the chair opposite her.
"You saved me?"
Sharly asked the obvious question.
Then, she lowered her head to look at her bandaged body, carefully feeling the difference.
"Have you fulfilled your right to copulate?"
Sharly asked since she didn't notice anything different but she wasn't sure.
"Nope.
"I just bandaged your wound."
Kieran pointed at the cut armor on the man's body.
Sharly's armor was cut in half, the top part was enough to cover her main body and the lower part was removed, allowing Kieran to heal her.
"Why didn't you fulfill your mating rights?"
Sharly looked at Kieran in confusion.
"Why should I fulfill my mating rights?
"Also, shouldn't you say thank you to me at this time?"
Kieran raised a brow.
"T-Thank you!"
Sharly stuttered her reply.
It seemed like this werewolf lady wasn't used to interacting with humans.
Kieran wouldn't correct her.
All he needed to know was what he wanted to know.
"Why are you here?"
Or more precisely, why is she hunting you down? "
Kieran pointed at the unconscious hunter.
"I left the tribe to investigate the wolf plague, then I ran into her near Burning Dawn's camp — she thought I was the culprit behind the wolf plague. Although I tried my best to explain, it didn't work, especially when those infected also thought I was the culprit, my explanation became weaker and weaker.
I didn't want to fight her because it would allow the real culprit's scheme to succeed. So I wanted to leave that place first and the reason why I came here … "
"It's because I found a large amount of wolf tracks and tracked them for a few days before I found this place. I hope to borrow the strength of my own kind."
Sharly replied.
Werewolves. Werewolves thought wolves were their own kind.
It was because of their appearance and also because some werewolves' blood relatives were wolves.
Kieran didn't have any questions about it.
However, there were two points in Sharly's words that caught Kieran's attention.
First, the tracks of the wolf pack.
Second, Burning Dawn.
The former was because Kieran controlled the wolf pack less than two days ago and the one who controlled the wolf pack was Modi's collaborator.
Kieran couldn't help but associate it with something else.
As for the latter?
Kieran took in a deep breath.
Even after he took over Shatterstone Town, he didn't know what exactly happened to Burning Dawn from the official documents.
It wasn't even as detailed as his dungeon world description.
But now, Kieran knew he had accidentally discovered something crucial.
"You said you ran into her near Burning Dawn's camp?
"The area around Burning Dawn is infected with the so-called wolf plague?
Or … "
"Burning Dawn's camp was infected with the wolf plague?
