The Lycans arrived just a moment too late for Erend to disappear into the Portal.
No one had the chance to see who the perpetrator was who had done this much damage. And kill their kind so viciously.
They came because they felt the same disturbing feeling. But their pack was further away than the pack that had been slain in this plains.
None of the Lycans who had just arrived had expected that they would see a sight like this when they arrived at the origin of the disturbing feeling.
They all turned into human form. Their facial expressions depict shock, rage, and sorrow that merged into one.
One of the Lycan who stood at the front turned into a tall human figure.
His skin was brown and his gray hair fell down his back. The man's eyes were clear blue as ice.
He stared at the sight in front of him without blinking. The other Lycans behind the man started running.
They approached the corpses of the Lycans that were scattered in these vast and ruined plains.
Filled with the sound of screaming and crying that seems like it won't subside for some time.
The Lycans are separated into several packs. But they still come from the same tribe.
That is the Snj??r Tribe from the northern mountains. Basically, they're a big family who decided to group up in a pack to travel.
Strange events that occur in the northern mountains make them have to travel down the mountain.
One of their goals is indeed to hunt because the food source in the northern mountains has become very low. Like it or not, they have to leave to survive.
But who would have thought that everything would end up like this? This pack was slaughtered.
The man with a large body and gray hair down his back approached the figure of a man lying on the ground.
His body was ripped in the neck until he died. His fallen black fur scattered all around.
The man knelt beside the corpse of the man who had previously been the black Lycan.
He touched his face and rubbed it gently. Tears started flowing down from the man's eyes.
But he didn't let the sound of his crying out. As an Alpha of his pack, he cannot show weakness in front of his people.
Yet, the pain he felt was immense. In the end, he still didn't let the sound of his crying out.
However, the tears that came out of his eyes were pouring heavily.
He couldn't even move to look around for clues. All of his senses could only feel sorrow and pain.
However, when he was lost in grief, there was still one of the many members of his pack who went on a search.
He was a man of slender build but full of muscles. His eyes are dark black and always look sharp.
He went around and used his ability to detect Magic. Until finally he found the residue of energy from a very powerful and foreign creature.
The energy spread all over this place. But the slender, muscular man stopped next to a black crater.
The crater was created from the ground burning with fire that burned fast and strong.
The man could feel a tremendous surge of hot energy in an instant.
"(What is this...)"
The man frowned. This power was completely foreign to them. It didn't come from a being in this world.
The man looked up to stare south. There, he could see a fairly large human town.
'Did this power come from that town?'
The thought made the man even more anxious.
This dead Lycans pack had previously come out of the northern mountains in search of new food. That city is most likely the target this pack is after.
However, something seems to have appeared and killed them.
So their intention to hunt humans in the town ended up being a massacre for their pack.
'In that case, whoever has this power probably intended to protect that town.'
If that was the case, then they should also abandon their intention of attacking that town.
The slender man with a muscular body turned towards the large man with long hair.
When he saw the long-haired man crying, he couldn't help but sigh.
'it was natural. It is his brother after all.'
Painful facts unfold before their Alpha's eyes.
His brother died in a very horrible condition. Together with all the members of his pack. Of course, it could make even the most powerful leader like him break into tears.
"Sigewulf," the slender man said. "I found something."
Sigewulf, the Alpha of the pack. The man with long gray hair turned his head.
"What did you find?" Sigewulf asked.
The slender man knew that Sigewulf did not need questions about how he was, or how he felt.
He just wanted to hear important news about who was the culprit in all of this as soon as possible.
As for Grim, that slender man was the one who understood him the most. So he immediately broke the news that Sigewulf wanted to hear.
"Whoever did this, it is a very powerful being," Grim said. "You see the destruction here? I don't think this is the Magic of something from our world."
"I don't care," Sigewulf replied in a low voice that almost sounded like a growl. "Just tell me, do you know what being it is and where we can find it?"
Grim sighed. 'No use talking reason with him now.'
"I don't know. But maybe we can go to the human town over there south."
"Perhaps, whoever did this was intent on protecting the town knowing Bjarki and his pack were after it."
Sigewulf looked up to the south. He could see that there was a town that was quite far from here.
"We are going to that town," Sigewulf said and stood up. "After we properly bury Bjarki and his pack."
The Lycans buried all the bodies - or remains - of the Lycans that had been killed by Erend.
After that, they went to that human city with a definite purpose.
Looking for clues about the perpetrators of this massacre.
