We followed them slowly with their names, and soon saw them entering the battle mode from the team menu.

And in the next second, a tower-like ice spike directly rose from the ground. From a distance, there was still a gray wolf hanging from the top of the spike.

Too fast, right? Did you greet each other properly before fighting?

"Let's go, we need to speed up our pace, or else... huh? Oyado?"

After turning around, I suddenly realized that the other party had disappeared at some point.

And Loyce, with a confused look on her face, was looking around from behind, it seems she doesn't know the situation either.

Well, as the only normal person here, I should just do things normally.

After speaking, I summoned an ice spear in my hand and threw it fiercely at the enemy on the tree. The opponent let out a scream and fell from the tree!

Shadow Stealth!

And under the cover of the tree shadow, I quickly dashed to the side of the opponent, grabbing their arm.

The opponent came directly from the direction of the ice tower, which is the direction of the village.

Moreover, the opponent is in a red name state, indicating that they came here with hostility.

But...

The opponent actually stayed on the tree in front of us for a while without attacking, which is why I didn't kill them directly on the spot.

Otherwise, I would have used an Ice Beam directly. According to the opponent's level, they would have been instantly killed and turned into an ice stick.

Humanoid Wolf - Initial

Level 14

Element: Wood

A low-level monster with simple intelligence.

The opponent is a wolfman with a body length of less than 10 meters, just like the kind of wolfman we have seen countless times in fantasy novels after they look at the moon.

And the one in front of me... looks like it's in its juvenile stage?

Galuru Beast?

"I'm asking, can you understand what I'm saying?"

I looked into the opponent's eyes and asked.

"Woo..."

The opponent's HP was less than one-tenth remaining, and they were looking at me with a very pitiful expression.

Ah, it's just this. Seeing that the opponent has intelligence... I don't feel right killing them like killing a wild beast...

"I'm telling you, say something we can understand, otherwise, I don't know whether I should kill you or not..."

"Please... please save us..."

Suddenly, I actually understood what it said!

This language... is actually...

English?

Yes, although the intonation sounds strange, it feels similar to Indians speaking English.

But!

From the pronunciation just now, I can clearly understand that the opponent is speaking English!

Interesting!

"How can I help you?"

I quickly asked in English.

The opponent's pupils suddenly enlarged, looking at me with an incredibly surprised expression.

After a moment of being stunned, the opponent said.

"Some people... captured us... half-beast... who escaped... enslaved us... and then attacked human villages..."

The opponent said weakly.

"I see, and who is that person?"

I asked while releasing a healing spell on them.

But...

It actually didn't work!

Is it because the opponent is in an enemy state?

"Thank you... but if we're not in a near-death state... we will attack you... so... please kill that... person... wearing a red and white robe..."

Then, because the opponent had been bleeding all this time, with the blood gauge empty, their body went limp.

...

"Thanks a lot..."

Looking at their body, I said quietly.

Side quest: Eliminate the Wolf Demon

Special completion condition: Understand the reason for wolf demonization - Quest completed

Special condition completion reward: Obtain Wolf Transformation Gene

Then, a deep blue vial appeared in my hand with a brush.

Opening the menu on it, it says:

Wolf Transformation Gene - 1

Ability obtained after use - Low-level Wolf Transformation

Transform into a werewolf for 5 minutes, unable to use magic, attack power increased by 230%, defense increased by 150%.

It looks quite useful, but let's solve other problems first...

Wait, there are still tasks to follow.

Side quest: Eliminate the Magic Wolf (personal)

Additional quest: Eliminate the 'Red and White' Mage

Experience reward (fixed): 10000

Item reward (fixed): Magic Wolf Research Materials

It seems... things will develop into more interesting places.

"Fir... Are you okay?"

Loyce suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask?"

"Because... you've been laughing at that corpse..."

"Hahaha, no, no, I just suddenly thought of something else. Alright, let's go. I think there are more interesting things waiting for us in the village."
