[Urgh… Grahhh…]

Dawon’s hand, gripping onto Sung Yi-hwan’s head, tensed. I could see one of his fingers denting the werewolf’s forehead.

Sung Yi-hwan shed tears of pain and frothed at the mouth; his eyes rolled back. But, Sung Yi-hwan’s body, still emitting a robust bloodthirst, charged at Moon Issak.

Crash–!

The ground, where Moon Issak had stood just earlier, caved in when the werewolf’s fist hit it. However, Moon Issak’s face wasn’t anxious or tense as he avoided the attack. Rather, he glanced at Seo Dawon as if he found the Mage absurd before holding out his palm towards Sung Yi-hwan, who was just about to rush at the investigator once more.

“Just who do you think made that thug a werewolf?” Moon Issak sneered.

‘They mentioned a baptism, right?’

I was reminded of what Sung Yi-hwan said earlier, when he was drunk on his own power. In other words, Moon Issak could give someone tremendous power that allowed them to continue living even if their head was torn off.

However, Seo Dawon didn’t react–neither fear nor interest–to Moon Issak’s words.

[Ahhhhhgh–!]

He merely squeezed Sung Yi-hwan’s head, as if he were wringing a towel.

Dark blood began to flow from Sung Yi-hwan’s nose. The headless body also began moving at the same time. Recovering from its long pause, the body swung its claws and attacked Moon Issak again.

“Tsk. It seems you don’t realize your own futility,” Moon Issak looked at the Mage as if the Mage were pathetic and flicked his finger.

[N-no…!]

At that moment, Sung Yi-hwan groaned in despair, and his body, like a puppet with its strings cut, dropped to its knees and collapsed. The stiff fur that had sprouted all over his skin began to shed, revealing an increasingly grotesque sight.

[Moon Issak-nim! Please… If you withdraw your power now, I’ll die!]

Despite the tearful pleas, there was no sympathy on Moon Issak’s face. Sung Yi-hwan continued to scream in despair.

[Nooooo–!]

However, the shadow of death had already descended. Just then, the body collapsed; a purple tongue stuck out from his head. And, on his forehead, a symbol of an inverted cross emerged: a reverse imprint of the symbol on Moon Issak’s palm.

‘Did Moon Issak really make Sung Yi-hwan into a werewolf?’

I watched the investigator carefully, wary of what other abilities he was hiding.

Unlike me, though, Dawon silently gazed at Sung Yi-hwan’s head as if he weren’t interested in Moon Issak’s movements at all. Then, he chewed Sung Yi-hwan’s ear.

“What…” Moon Issak began.

“……!”

Not just Moon Issak, even I was confounded by this mysterious turn of events. However Seo Dawon calmly chewed the ear before whispering to Sung Yi-hwan’s corpse in a sweet voice… like a devil.

[You don’t want to die like this, do you?]

“……”

[Who do you resent the most?]

At that moment, Sung Yi-hwan’s eyes, which had turned white, trembled. Then, startlingly, his tongue began to move again.

[Grragghhh…!]

Sung Yi-hwan’s tongue was emblazoned with a black six-point star. Furthermore, the smell of rotting corpses filled the room; it seemed the terrible odor was emanating from Sung Yi-hwan’s body.

Looking at Sung Yi-hwan’s corpse, I was astonished once more. Even though he wasn’t a pretty sight to begin with, as he had died just moments ago and all his fur fell off, now his body had swollen and turned a purplish color. His skin was infested with maggots and flying insects.

The same was true of the head in Dawon-ie’s hand. The flesh had begun to melt as if it had been rotten for a long while; white jawbones became visible under the perforated cheeks. free(w)ebnovel(.)com

Sung Yi-hwan’s cadaver began to move again–just like when he had been a werewolf. Only then did Dawon throw Sung Yihan’s head onto the neck of the now mobile body.

Sung Yi-hwan’s body caught his head lightly, as if he knew the head’s trajectory, and placed it deftly back on his neck. Sung Yi-hwan’s white eyes turned black when the neck and head met. The system sent me an alarm.

[You’ve obtained the top-grade ghoul, Sung Yi-Hwan.]

[Grrrrrrgh….]

The now-ghoul Sung Yi-hwan growled, baring his yellow teeth, and approached Moon Issak. Moon Issak, in turn, didn’t show much of a reaction, but he was clearly wary of Seo Dawon.

“How repulsive can you get?” Moon Issak said contemptuously.

However, with a smirk on his lips, Dawon-ie replied, “Observe carefully. That’s going to be your future.”

[Graaaaghhhh!]

As soon as the Mage finished speaking, Sung Yi-hwan rushed towards Moon Issak at an incredible speed. Though as a ghoul he lacked the agility and flexibility he had in life, the speed was alarming enough.

Additionally, Sung Yi-hwan launched different attacks than when he was a werewolf. Even without touching Moon Issak, just approaching near made mold spread like dirt on his combat suit; the cloth began to rot blue. It was clear that the investigator would become severely infected or poisoned if he didn’t keep a distance.

“[Holy Shield].” Moon Issak’s expression distorted, as if he was disgusted, and unfurled a sacred shield around his body.

However, Ghoulish Sung Yi-hwan blindly and recklessly stuck to the shield, even as his body began to burn, and began to penetrate through the shield with his poison.

“This is ridiculous…!” Flustered, Moon Issak retreated. However, he almost lost his balance when he stepped on a tentacle that Koo Hui-seo had placed in advance.

Unlike before, the tentacles didn’t cling to his ankles. However, as Moon Issak lifted his foot, he noticed that the tentacles were sticking to the soles of his shoes. While it seemed less obstructive than sticking to his ankles, the advantages of these sticky tentacles soon became apparent.

“Fuck! They’re not coming off?” Now that it had become to hit the tentacles, Moon Issak tried to indiscriminately burn the ground and tentacles by emanating bright light from his hands, but Koo Hui-seo, with an unmarred expression, began to paint the floor black with even more tentacles.

Eventually, Moon Issak bared his teeth and spread his arms. “[Divine Aura].”

Then, a bright light unfurled over his body, momentarily revealing and lighting the tentacle-covered floor. Black blood flowed from Koo Hui-seo’s nose once more.

“Don’t overdo it.”

“It’s alright…”

I pulled at Koo Hui-seo, retreating with the ex-chimera. Koo Hui-seo flinched within my arms, but he obediently and gently pulled back his tentacles. In his place, Lackey stepped up and blocked our front.

However, at that moment, Sung Yi-hwan’s arms, which had been hugging the shield, exploded.

[Urgh…. Ugh…]

The Ghoul was now burnt to a crisp, making it hard to discern its original human shape. As expected, a ghoul made by a servant would find it difficult to hurt Moon Issak.

But…

“[Gravity]”

As soon as Dawon-ie used his skill, Moon Issak’s body, which had been shining brightly, trembled before bending at the waist 90 degrees…as if he were bowing incredibly politely. Despite Moon Issak’s efforts to straighten his waist, eerie cracking noises echoed around the room, and his posture remained unchanged.

After watching that scene for a few seconds, Dawon pointed his elegant staff at Moon Issak again. “[Gravity].”

As the spells overlapped, the range of the golden magic circle beneath Moon Issak’s feet expanded.

The ground began to sink and split in a circular pattern from the point where Moon Issak stood; deep cracks started to form. The building shook as if an earthquake was occurring. In the center, Moon Issak, still maintaining his bent posture, lifted his bloodshot eyes. “You bastard…!”

“[Gravity].”

However, Dawon merely used his skill for the third time. In the end, Moon Issak’s knee bent, and his head almost touched the floor. It was as if someone was trampling on the investigator’s back. Even so, Moon Issak still glared at the Mage and bared his teeth.

But…

“[Gravity].”

Accompanied by a popping sound, blood began to flow from both of Moon Issak’s eyes from the weight of the compounded gravity spell.

Moon Issak’s body was completely flattened, as if he were a crushed bug. The sight was absolutely gruesome–like someone had stepped on a can and crushed it. Only then did Dawon lower his staff and glance at the place where Moon Issak lay. “I know you’re invincible.”

“……”

“I’m glad. I still have plenty of skills I want to use on you.”

As if waiting for those words, Moon Issak’s body began to tremble. Subsequently, something white sprouted from his body, as if his skin was frosting over. My eyes widened as I watched Moon Issak, still shaking, rise from the ground.

[Howwwl….]

He stood, stepping on his broken glasses with his front feet. Before long, a silver wolf–much bigger than Sung Yi-hwan–appeared in front of us.
