White Wolf

"Ah! This is bad!"

Ulti, having successfully and stealthily taken revenge by taking down one of the pirates who had bullied her yesterday, watched Yamato fly towards the high platform and exclaimed anxiously. Worry was clearly visible on her face.

"It's too late!"

Everyone knew it was too late.

Lady Oni-Hime was already flying straight towards that platform. No one could stop her anymore.

Jack and Maria, who were beating up pirates around them, both smiled. Their objective had been achieved.

Everyone knew what the outcome would be, but that didn't mean the fight was over.

The four Numbers surrounding Sirius still had no intention of backing down.

"Sirius! You damn brat!"

Nangi, whose hair had been half-burned off by Sirius's fire, raised his mace and roared, "I won't forgive you!"

Without mercy, accompanied by a whistling gale, Nangi's mace came crashing down.

By the way, why do they all use maces? Is this some kind of team specialty?

Sirius casually leaped to the side.

Boom!

The mace struck the ground heavily. The ground rippled like the surface of the sea, then these ripples broke apart, turning into countless dense cracks.

Rock and soil were blasted into the sky, and a huge hole formed in an instant.

The shockwave from this attack made the pirates in the plaza unsteady on their feet.

The Numbers were exaggerated in size and strength, but their reaction speed was considerably weaker in comparison.

For Sirius, dodging their attacks was not difficult at all.

However, the only trouble was that he was currently facing four Numbers.

As soon as Sirius landed, Jaki's mace came crashing down again.

But Sirius wasn't panicked. His body suddenly shrank, and he transformed into his werewolf form.

Then, he suddenly breathed fire downwards.

A scorching pillar of fire erupted, and the recoil instantly sent Sirius rocketing upwards.

He even changed the direction of his fire breath with interest, landing himself on the head of the drunken Juki.

Speaking of which, Juki's appearance was somewhat similar to a wolf's, quite far from human.

Sirius landed on his forehead and suddenly shouted, "Hey, Nangi, I'm here!"

Besides their sluggish movements, the Numbers had another significant drawback: they generally weren't very bright.

Nangi, who had just been turned into Captain Flaming Head by Sirius's fire, heard Sirius's voice and, without hesitation, swung his mace towards Sirius.

This was exactly what Sirius had been waiting for. His body agilely leaped up again, soaring dozens of meters high, easily escaping Nangi's attack range.

But Juki, who was still drunk from alcohol, was unlucky. He didn't have time to react to what was happening before the hard, black mace was upon him.

Boom!

A thunderous roar.

Juki's head was smashed off, and his body was sent flying backward.

Then his massive body crashed to the ground, causing the pirates, who had finally regained some stability, to tremble again.

"Huh! Juki!"

Goki instantly turned pale with shock.

"You idiot, look what you've done!" Jaki said angrily.

"Huh?"

Nangi scratched his head belatedly, then roared in fury, "Sirius! You little scoundrel! I'm going to crush you!"

However, he wouldn't get the chance. Sirius fell from above him, and in the blink of an eye, his body expanded. He transformed into a massive Black Wolf again.

Using the momentum from his fall, Sirius placed his two front paws on Nangi's shoulders and exerted force, pinning him to the ground.

Then, Sirius opened his mouth wide and aimed at Nangi's head, unleashing a point-blank, unapologetic torrent of flame.

Roar!

Scorching flames engulfed Nangi's head, just like Hatcha before him.

As the flames hit the ground, they spread out in all directions, forming surging waves of fire.

"Nangi!!"

Only after the flames had Nangi howling in pain did Jaki and Goki react. They roared and simultaneously swung their weapons towards Sirius.

Sirius smiled slightly. He had been worried that simple flame breath would have a hard time taking down the tough-skinned Nangi.

Transforming back into his small werewolf form, Sirius leaped off Nangi's stomach, instantly jumping off him.

Almost simultaneously, two iron bars smashed into Jaki's stomach.

"Waaah!"

Even with his thick fat cushioning the blow, Jaki only had time for a single cry before his colleagues' iron bars knocked him unconscious.

"So amazing! This guy!"

Since the victors had been decided, the pirates had stopped fighting. Ulti stared blankly at Sirius's battle, unable to help but exclaim repeatedly.

Maria said with a smile, "Just like Sirius said yesterday, the Numbers' strength is actually their weakness!"

"Mm."

Jack nodded in deep agreement.

In that case, only two remained.

Sirius stood on the ground, looking up at the two bewildered Numbers.

It was at this moment that Yamato's shout suddenly rang out from the sky, "Sirius!! Catch me!"

Sirius looked up and saw Yamato jump directly from the platform above. She was now plummeting rapidly downwards.

What is this idiot thinking!

Sirius's eye twitched. That was hundreds of meters in the air!

There was no time for him to think further. He leaped up, landing on Jaki's stomach, using it as a springboard to jump again.

This time, he landed on Goki's horn.

Then, he unleashed his full power, his body shooting upwards at high speed.

"Hahaha! Sirius!"

From above, Yamato, who was falling, waved enthusiastically at Sirius.

Sirius opened his mouth and breathed fire downwards.

As the flames erupted, his upward speed increased again.

He was already very close to Yamato.

Sirius's body suddenly expanded. He used his soft belly to catch Yamato.

The next moment, Yamato crashed onto Sirius's stomach. Sirius felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, as if his internal organs had been punched.

Immediately after, Sirius reverted to his werewolf form and grabbed Yamato's shoulder. "What were you thinking, you idiot! Jumping from such a height!"

Yamato said with a grin, "Because I couldn't wait to share it with you, Sirius! The ability I got! We can fight side-by-side this time!"

"You still didn't need to be in such a hurry. Remember this, idiot, safety first!"

"Anyway, Sirius would definitely catch me!"

"You guys..."

The two were already descending.

While their falling speed wasn't too fast yet, Sirius breathed fire downwards, using the recoil to slow their descent.

They were getting closer and closer to the ground, with less than a hundred meters left.

Jaki and Goki had already reacted.

They raised their maces, aiming at the falling Sirius and Yamato. Jaki roared, "You two damn brats! I'll smash you!"

Sirius abruptly stopped breathing fire and looked at Yamato. "Yamato, can you use your ability yet?"

"Of course!"

Yamato responded loudly.

"Then let's take them down! Jaki is mine, and Goki is yours," Sirius said.

"Okay!"

Yamato's eyebrows shot up excitedly. "Let Sirius see my ability!"

White fur began to grow on her body, much like Sirius's. Her nose and mouth began to protrude, but not by much. Her nails turned into claws, and her legs became backward-jointed. She transformed into a werewolf.

Unlike Sirius, she was a white werewolf.

White mist condensed behind her into ribbons that danced in the wind, complementing the dark energy swirling around Sirius.

Black and white, Sirius and Yamato, two werewolves, plummeted from the sky.

"Here we go, Yamato!"

Sirius opened his mouth wide.

"I won't lose to you!"

Yamato also took a deep breath.

"Hellfire Annihilation!"

"Namuji Hyoga!"
