Chapter 83. Friend or Foe
Lucius could not hold in his anger any more. He stared straight into the eyes of Marriate."Do you think this is all a sick game? You just killed an innocent woman who has been nothing but good to the people of this town! And you ask me to join you? And what..? You will kill me if I don't?" Lucius clenched his fist."Well Marriate! I want you to know that there's no way in hell I'll join you. If anything, I will kill you here and now. You've already killed about twenty to thirty people in total. I'll be the people of Gevudan a favor once I get rid of you." Lucius said through gritted teeth.Marriate stared at him for a moment and then to Lucius' surprise, he burst into a fit of laughter. He then transformed his arms into wolf paws with claws sticking out."I never expected you to join me brother. I knew very well that you will never join me. You are a nothing but a self righteous child who thinks this world is a perfect home, yet what you have failed to know is that this world is rott
Chapter 82. Hello Brother
Lucius sat at his desk, lost in thought.The sound of footsteps outside his door broke the silence."Lucius?" Mr. Von Doom called."Yes, sir?" Lucius replied, rising from his chair.Mr. Von Doom entered, his expression serious. "I'm taking Marriate to the shop. We'll likely dine there tonight."Lucius nodded. "Alright, sir."Mr. Von Doom's gaze lingered."Remember to lock up the house at night. And avoid going into town after sundown."Lucius's thoughts flashed to the Darach. "The beast?" he asked, his voice low.Mr. Von Doom nodded. "The hunters are preparing. But we can't be too cautious.""I understand," Lucius said. "I'll be careful."Mr. Von Doom's expression softened. "I trust you, Lucius.""Keep an eye on things here.""I will," Lucius promised.As Mr. Von Doom departed with Marriate. Lucius watched from the window.The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the town. He felt a shiver run down his spine. The night was full of unknown dangers. And Marriate's r
Chapter 81. The Stepbrother
Morning sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating the hallway. Lucius descended the stairs, his stomach growling.As he reached the landing, voices drifted from the foyer. Mr. Von Doom and a stern-faced commander stood near the entrance."...bringing some fresh meat for the soldiers and hunters," Mr. Von Doom said."Much appreciated, Monsieur Von Doom," the commander replied."We'll need all the help we can get. Our scouts report the beast's movements are unpredictable."Mr. Von Doom nodded. "I've heard rumors of a Chinese princess joining the hunt.""Silvia, yes," the commander confirmed. "A skilled huntress. We're assembling the best team possible."Lucius lingered, listening."The hunt will commence soon," the commander announced. "We'll require a local guide. Someone familiar with the forest's layout."Mr. Von Doom's expression turned polite but firm. "I'm afraid I must decline. My duties here are too pressing."The commander's eyes narrowed. "Understood, Monsieur Von Do
Chapter 80. Silvia
Silvia sipped her ale, her eyes scanning the bustling tavern. Fellow hunters gathered around, their voices rising."The King's bounty is 10,000 livres," one hunter boasted."I'll take that beast down myself," another hunter claimed.Silvia listened intently, her expression unreadable.A grizzled hunter, Diego, leaned in. "I've heard it's not just any beast," Diego said."Rumors say it's a lycanthrope.""A werewolf?" a young hunter repeated, wide-eyed.Diego nodded. "The villagers have seen it. Tall, with razor-sharp claws and teeth."Silvia's gaze narrowed. She had heard similar stories in China. Of the Jiangshi, bloodthirsty creatures roaming the night. But this beast seemed different, more powerful.A burly hunter, Argent, slammed his fist on the table."We'll need traps, silver bullets, and men with steel nerves."The group nodded in agreement. Silvia remained silent, her thoughts racing. She had left China to escape the Emperor's expectations, to find adventure and purpose.Now, s
Chapter 79. Fierce Confrontation
I gripped my knife tightly, my senses on high alert. The Darach's eyes seemed to bore into my soul, its gaze hypnotic. "You're... different," the Darach repeated, its voice low and menacing. "A threat to my existence." My heart pounded, my breath caught in my throat. "I won't back down," I said, trying to sound braver than I felt. "You've killed many innocent people, and now I can do something about it."The Darach chuckled, a low, rumbling sound. "We'll see about that." Without warning, it lunged, its massive body blurring as it struck. I tried to dodge, but the Darach's speed was incredible. Claws swiped across my chest, tearing fabric and flesh. I grunted, pain searing through my torso. I stumbled backward, knife flashing in the dim light.The Darach followed, its eyes blazing with fury. I felt dizzy from the pain, but I knew that any mistake would make me its next victim. "You should have stayed hidden," it snarled. I parried its attacks, knife slicing through the air. But the Dar
Chapter 78. A New Path
I burst out of the basement, my heart racing. The mirror's reflection still haunted me – purple eyes, blood-stained hands, and razor-sharp canines. I sprinted up the stairs, slamming my bedroom door shut behind me. Breathless, I rummaged through my worn leather bag. Amidst the chaos, a tattered book emerged. Its cover, once a deep blue, now faded to a muted gray. The pages yellowed with age. My trembling hands opened the book, revealing my mother's handwriting across the pages, a mix of ancient languages and cryptic symbols. Teachings she had shared with me before her passing.I flipped the pages until I got to the part I was searching for. My mother had once taught me about the werewolves. In fact, she had once told me that my Uncle, General Maximus Decimus, was rumored to be one of these ungodly beasts. My focus was now on this page where my mother wrote down details of werewolves."The most famous mythological account of werewolves comes from the legend of Lycaon, a king of Arcadia
