Werewolf wizard

Chapter 20: Fury Spell and Obtaining the Heart of a Knight Attendant

The wolves swarmed forward. The soldiers, fully armed, were initially unafraid, but some, already infected with wolf venom, began to succumb, disrupting their formation.

The werewolf messenger, who had been hiding in the forest, no longer concealed himself under Su Nan's command through the Wolf Pack Effect. He appeared directly before everyone, attacking the soldiers and creating wounds to infect them with wolf venom.

Valen and the militia captain watched the hideous, wolf-like monster in broad daylight, their breaths catching in their throats.

Valen's eyes widened. He never imagined that such inhuman monsters truly existed in this world.

"May the Lord of Storms be with us," Valen prayed, placing the hilt of his sword on his forehead. "Scatter, scatter quickly!"

He quickly realized that forming a phalanx was the right tactic when facing ordinary knight attendants.

But against a powerful monster with poisonous claws, grouping all the soldiers together was a grave strategic error.

The monster could infect two or three soldiers with wolf venom with a single swipe of its claws.

Moreover, the monster could command ordinary wolves to charge into the phalanx and create chaos.

The militia captain sensed danger and tried to escape, but as he turned his horse to flee, the monster charged straight at him, crashing into the horse and his body.

Man and horse were knocked over in a heap.

Knight Attendant Valen immediately tried to urge his warhorse forward, but the werewolf messenger savagely raised its head, revealing its scarlet eyes. Valen's horse whinnied in terror, reared up, and was startled.

Valen gripped the reins tightly, finding that the horse refused to move forward. "Damn it."

The next instant, the werewolf messenger pounced on him. Valen abandoned the horse, rolled to the ground, and dodged the attack.

Simultaneously, he quickly got up and fired two arrows with incredible speed. Both arrows pierced the werewolf messenger's body, felling it before it could rise from attacking the horse.

The arrows from the experienced Knight Attendant Valen each contained immense power, like bolts fired from a small ballista.

Valen breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the monster fall, but his pupils suddenly shrank as the werewolf messenger climbed back to its feet.

It looked extremely angry.

It bared its teeth at Valen, emitting a dangerous roar.

At the same time, it gripped the two iron-tipped arrows in its chest with its wolf claws, howling as it pulled them out of its body.

Valen watched this scene, his face stained with blood, his brow furrowed so deeply it could pinch a fly. "Damn it."

"Is this monster immortal?"

"How is this possible? How can there be such a monster in this world?"

Meanwhile, Su Nan, standing by the attic window, observed the scene through the Wolf Pack Effect.

"So that's it. The essence of the Wolf Pack Control potion is the relevant data I obtained by having the AI scan the body of an Order Guardian, so it's essentially commanding the wolf pack on a soul level."

"Therefore, I specifically had the werewolf messenger use [Manipulate Wolf Pack] once on the knight attendant's warhorse, so the horse was very afraid and couldn't even move to attack my werewolf messenger."

"Because my werewolf messenger, on a soul level, although unable to control it, intimidated it."

"But this level of intimidation shouldn't affect the knight attendant. I had the werewolf messenger use [Manipulate Wolf Pack] a second time on the knight attendant, but it only angered him and even made him more battle-ready."

"I'm afraid that for humans, who possess higher intelligence, this level of soul-based spell can only serve to provoke and enrage."

Essentially, this [Manipulate Wolf Pack] seems to be an added spell-like ability.

Su Nan not only revived werewolves, which had disappeared and only existed in ancient books and miscellaneous texts, through artificial intelligence, but also continuously improved and strengthened the original werewolves through artificial intelligence and potions.

Su Nan observed that the enemies on the battlefield were almost finished.

Now, only the final experimental project remained.

Let a werewolf messenger directly face a senior knight attendant to collect relevant combat data.

Su Nan commanded through the Wolf Pack Effect, "Go. My loyal servant."

Su Nan looked at the arrow engraved with the Pasha family crest on the manor gate at the edge of the castle. "I want his life."

In the forest battlefield, more than a thousand meters away, Valen Pasha, after falling from his horse, clashed with the werewolf messenger's claws using his off-hand weapon, a dagger.

He excitedly discovered that the other party's strength was far inferior to his.

Su Nan had already scanned his relevant data through the Wolf Pack Effect—

[Strength: 2.3]

[Speed: 1.9]

[Constitution: 2.3]

These stats were already considered very high for a knight attendant, making him a strong one among them.

Robert's stats, for example, were far inferior to his.

Even the previous horned rat knight attendant was far inferior to him.

Most knight attendants only had stats between 1 and 2, but Valen had two stats exceeding 2, and his agility was also very close to 2.

Therefore, the werewolf messenger was definitely suppressed in close combat with him.

After suppressing the werewolf messenger in close combat, Valen quickly retreated, took out his bow and arrow from behind, and shot the werewolf messenger in the head again.

This arrow caused piercing damage.

It directly pierced the werewolf messenger's eye and went through its brain.

Generally speaking, a battle reaching this point could be considered over.

Knight Attendant Valen had achieved total victory.

But to Knight Attendant Valen's expectant gaze, the werewolf messenger grabbed the arrow piercing its head and slowly pulled it out again.

Knight Attendant Valen's heart sank to the bottom of his chest.

What kind of monster was this?

Was it necessary to ask the soft-bodied priests in the church to kill this monster?

By the Storm God, he had fought so many battles over the years and had never encountered such a monster.

"Could it be that the mastermind behind the attack on Maple Leaf Town is really the young baron? Is this monster… is it raised by the Peter family?" Valen Pasha was already thinking of running away. He felt that at least his physical fitness could suppress the monster, so he could escape.

He couldn't find a way to kill it.

This monster didn't even die when its head was pierced.

Perhaps he should run to the Church of the Storm God. Perhaps, as the priests said, the church could ward off all monsters.

Only Valen didn't notice that the werewolf messenger's golden circular pupils had turned into a golden-red color, and the golden-red circular pupils suddenly shrank.

All the wounds on the werewolf messenger's body were healing at an even faster rate.

It roared, its blood seeming to boil.

It became faster, stronger, more fearless of injury, and more appreciative of pain.

This was… activating Fury!

The werewolf messenger suddenly pounced, this time using a trade-damage pattern, and Valen found it increasingly difficult to fight, and the more he fought, the more he found the other party's strength increasing.

After all, the werewolf messenger's maximum strength value after activating Fury was 3!

About three minutes later, the heavily injured Valen was sent flying by the equally heavily injured werewolf messenger, landing on a tree, which broke under the impact.

The werewolf messenger jumped over, adding an attack, stepping on his chest with one claw, killing him.

One of the Pasha family's important pillars died at the hands of a werewolf messenger—a hunting dog raised by Su Nan.

After killing Valen, the werewolf messenger listened attentively, and then, under Su Nan's command, tore open Valen's chest with the claws of its hind legs, digging out his heart.

In the attic, Su Nan said to the AI, "So, can it be assumed that there is an abnormality in the knight attendant's heart? Is this possibly because he is close to becoming a formal knight, causing a mutation in his heart?"

[Yes. If we can obtain this heart, which has already undergone some mutation, it may be of great benefit to our research into new potion formulas.]

[After all, in this world, besides wizards, the biggest anomaly is knights like this.]
