A group of four women walked in the forest, each carrying a massive beast on their shoulders.


    All the women dressed in warrior attire, yet they had no weapons with them. The bodies of the beasts which were on their bodies had wounds that had stopped bleeding now. The w marks were still clearly visible.


    "Our luck was really good this time. Finding a group of such beasts without even having to look too hard. Today was really good. It was good. We can get back home early today."


    "Yeah. I''ll prepare a big feast for my family as soon as I get home. Why don''t you three join me as well?"


    "Sure. We would love to. It''s been so long since our families spent time together."


    "Hahaha, you''re right. Thest time was probably around five months ago."


    "Yeah, then it''s decided. We are meetingter."


    All four friends came to an agreement to share time together and with their families as they traveled.


    "Hmm? This strange smell... Are you getting it as well?" One of the four women stopped in her tracks, getting a strange scent.


    The others also stopped and ced the bodies of the beasts on the ground, focusing on that strange scent as well.


    "It smells like a..."


    "Like a Vampire."


    "You''re right. It''s definitely the scent of a Vampire! Not why would a Vampire be here, this close to the Kingdom? Something doesn''t feel right."


    "He is either a stray who got lost or a spy sent here to infiltrate the Kingdom. In any case, we can''t let a Vampire roam freely near our territory!"


    "Are you thinking what I''m thinking?" One of the four had a sly smile on their face.


    "If you''re thinking about hunting once more, then it''s exactly what I''m thinking."


    "Spread out. We''ll surround him from all sides and attack."


    Leaving the bodies behind, the fourdies dispersed, disappearing in the first. As for their speed, it was so fast that it was hard to keep up with them.


    Around ten minutes passed. As still sat in his meditation, letting all his senses lose. He didn''t even realize what had been happening in his surroundings as he couldn''t hear anything except his own thoughts.


    Four wolves came out of the forest, talking one side each. One of the Wolves approached As from behind while the other three kept an eye on him from three directions.


    Seeing As unaware of his surroundings, the werewolves became even more confident, believing they had no chance of losing the prey this time.


    As was like their prey while they were the hunters, about to hunt the ignorant prey.


    The werewolves shed her sharp teeth, stopping just a few meters behind As. It adjusted its position, taking a step back.


    As the world didn''t want to lose As or miss, it wanted to finish him off in a single attack without giving him a chance to sense it.


    After a short period of silence, the Wolf jumped at the back of As, opening its mouth wide to tear off his neck.


    The sharp fangs of the beast came closer to As'' neck with each passing second. The sharp ws aimed at the back of As.<novelnext></novelnext>


    As the wolf finally attacked with the intent to kill As, a killing aura spread out, being sensed by As.


    His eyes abruptly opened as he came out of his daze.


    He dropped to the ground, rolling to the side.


    The wolf that was about to crunch on As'' neck missed,nding right before him, allowing him a chance to get up.


    "Did you really have to disturb my meditation like that? I was so close to calming the chaos in my heart." As stood up, frowning.


    He needed to learn a spell after calming his heart, but he was obstructed in the middle, bringing him back.


    "And where''s Lilith?" He couldn''t find Lilith anywhere. Wasn''t she supposed to protect him while he was in his meditation? Where could she go while leaving him alone?


    All four wolves roared at As. The one closest to him dashed in his direction.


    As took a few steps to the left, using a speed even faster than what the Wolves possessed.


    He grabbed the world by its neck, tossing it away. "You really don''t want to leave me, do you?"


    The Wolves red at As. If stares could kill, As would''ve been dead a thousand times over by now. Unfortunately, it wasn''t that easy for these Vampires to kill him. They couldn''t evennd a blow on him.


    Instead of stepping back off the battlefield, the four Werewolves attacked As at the same time.


    "If that''s what you want." As also prepared to fight. He ran to the closest wolf, clenching his fist.


    The wolf jumped at As. As once again moved with the wind, but instead of letting the wolfnd on the ground safely, he grabbed the wolf''s tail, tossing it straight at the second Wolf, which was close to him.


    The second Wolf dodged. The first wolf also bnced its body mid-air tond on its own four feet.


    As noticed the third wolf attacking him, but what surprised him was the fourth wolf which had gone missing suddenly.


    He ran to the third wolf. The wolf shed at him, roaring madly.


    Seeing the wolf jump, As wanted to use the same trick as before, but he noticed the first two Wolves also attacking him, covering all the ces. No matter where he looked


    This time it was his turn to jump, and jump is what he did. His jump was even higher than the wolf that attacked him. As''s feet touched the back of the wolf, who tried to change his direction mid-way.


    Unfortunately, it was impossible as everything happened so fast.


    Unexpectedly, at the same time, the fourth wolf appeared like a ghost behind As. The sharp ws of the wolfnded on the back of As''s neck, leaving a few inches deep gnash.


    As used the back of the first wolf like a tform to jump even higher to get out of the attacking range.


    Hended in the distance. The three wolves gathered together. As for the fourth, he once again went missing. As observed his surroundings, but he couldn''t find the fourth one. He didn''t even know how the fourth wolf achieved it. He appeared like a ghost, attacked, and then disappeared like one as well. It was as if something was really wrong about it.


    It was his first time fighting with the werewolves, and it was much different than when he faced the Vampires. The Vampires attacked from the front, relying on their speed and their strength. On the other hand, the werewolves were like hunters who knew how to hunt in a pack, and he was at the receiving end of it.
