The moment the black cloth fell from the glass jar, the "Mind Core's" comparison system confirmed that Rein's judgment was correct.

The Silver Wolf soaking in the green potion jar is the [White Wolf] Bazel.

"That guy, he's still alive?!"

Rein was also incredibly surprised to see such a legendary figure in Ilubeck's laboratory.

Besides, they were just discussing the origin of the "Top Ten Legendary Demon Hunters".

What surprised him even more was that, despite the presence of so many powerful figures from the Oma Empire in that situation, Bazel still managed to escape alive.

The glass manufacturing technology in this world is not very advanced. At best, the glass produced is reinforced glass, which, unless specially enchanted, cannot withstand much impact.

Clearly, the medicine containers in this laboratory are just ordinary glass.

The Silver Wolf, wearing a respirator, was gurgling and blowing bubbles. It slapped the glass jar with its paws, and soon the glass jar was cracked like a spider web.

"Bang!"

With a final swipe, the Silver Wolf smashed the glass, and the green medicine inside the jar spilled all over the ground.

Then, the bloodshot-eyed, ferocious-looking Silver Wolf roughly pulled out its breathing tube and charged out.

"Has this guy gone into Bloodthirsty Frenzy?"

Rein had heard that werewolves, in addition to their beast form, also possess a "Bloodthirsty Frenzy" state. That state could greatly increase a werewolf's combat power, but it would also cause them to lose their reason and become a beast that only knew how to kill.

With that thought in mind, he decided to slip away without hesitation.

Holy crap, the "Top Ten Legendary Demon Hunters" have gone berserk. Staying here any longer is just asking for death.

Taking advantage of the old man Ilubeck blocking the way, slipping away in the chaos would be the right choice.

But just as he was about to leave, the old man behind him shouted anxiously, "Young man, stop him for me!"

"???"

Upon hearing this, Rein immediately ignored it.

You old fool, you have ulterior motives. Do you think I don't know this guy?

The mighty [White Wolf] Bazel, how could I, a mere First Tier Transcendent, possibly stop him?

The Silver Wolf scurried out of the jar, immediately spotted the nearest living person, and pounced on it with bared teeth and claws, intending to tear its prey to shreds.

At this point, Ilubeck's eight spider legs took on a new function—climbing walls!

The old man seemed to have no intention of resisting. With a few fiddling movements of his eight spider legs, he scrambled up to the top of the laboratory and hung upside down on the iron frame above his head.

"He's currently severely injured by the Silver Sacred Artifact, so he's only as strong as an ordinary First Tier Demon Wolf!"

The old man was truly anxious. Looking at the laboratory equipment destroyed by the Silver Wolf, his heart ached. He cried out urgently, "Quickly, help me restrain him! Don't let him damage these precious instruments!"

"First Tier combat power?"

When Rein heard this, he had already slipped to the door of the laboratory curtain.

The fact that the Third Tier Extraordinary, Ilubeck, possessed absolutely no combat ability was beyond his expectations. The old man's awakening and advancement seemed to be entirely focused on his mental abilities.

The performance of [White Wolf] Bazel at this moment greatly surprised Rein.

While the destructive power unleashed by Silver Wolf was astonishing, it was definitely not that of a normal Fifth-tier Expert.

Otherwise, if he had fallen into a state of "Bloodthirsty Frenzy" and lost his mind to kill, there would have been no survivors in the house in an instant.

Even if I wanted to escape, I would never escape the jaws of the Silver Wolf, who is skilled at tracking.

Could it be that I've mistaken it for an ordinary Silver Wolf monster?

Or perhaps, as the old man said, the Silver Wolf is indeed Bazel, but he was severely injured by that so-called "sacred artifact" and only has the combat power of First Tier demon wolf left?

Countless thoughts flashed through Rein's mind in an instant.

However, the only thing he was certain of was his own perception.

This Silver Wolf's speed, strength, and reflexes were all quite weak. Otherwise, it wouldn't have needed to swat at a broken glass jar so many times, and it wouldn't have escaped from the jaws of the Ilubeck wolf, which was right up against its face.

At that moment, the old man Ilubeck, hanging upside down on the roof, took out several tranquilizer darts and fired them at the Silver Wolf.

Unfortunately, although Silver Wolf lacked rationality, its instinctive crisis response allowed it to easily avoid the injection.

And so, the three-meter-tall Silver Wolf kept leaping and bounding around the laboratory, trying to catch the eight-legged, incredibly fast old man on the roof. In its rampage, it turned the laboratory upside down.

In just a few breaths, the laboratory was a complete mess.

After observing the Silver Wolf and confirming that it posed little threat to him, Rein wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, he wanted to observe the situation further.

Above, Ilubeck's heartbroken wails echoed intermittently, "Ah, these are all precision instruments that money can't buy! Oh, my [Cultivation Device], my [Difference Engine]! God, you're going to kill me, you damned Bazel! I shouldn't have agreed to treat your injuries!"

Upon hearing this, Rein realized that it was indeed Bazel himself.

On the other hand, the Silver Wolf was also in very poor condition.

It looked as if its body was riddled with needle marks; with each leap, copious amounts of blood seeped from every pore.

But because it was in a "Bloodthirsty Frenzy" state, even though it was grimacing in pain, it showed no sign of stopping. Blood only stirred the bestial instincts within the werewolf's bloodline, making it even more frenzied!

Finally, a desperate Ilubeck had no choice but to look at Rein at the door and throw out his bargaining chip. "Young man, hurry! Help me stop this damned Silver Wolf, and I'll heal you for free! Name your price! Money, potions, elixirs—we're all negotiable!"

Rein was somewhat tempted by what he heard.

He had been observing this old man for a while, and now he was certain that although the old man was a bit crazy, at least he wasn't inherently "evil".

After all, slaves aren't worth much in this world. Logically speaking, if you really need live test subjects, it wouldn't be difficult to spend some money, and there's no need to wait for Rein to come.

But the old man didn't do that, which means he wasn't as inhuman as the rumors suggested.

On the contrary, this old man was just a research fanatic who strictly adhered to his own moral bottom line.

But his instinctive caution prevented him from acting immediately.

After all, the other party is one of the "Ten Great Legends".

At that moment, before he could think any further, the Silver Wolf, unable to catch the eight-legged, fast-running Ilubeck, sniffed the air and spotted Rein not far away.

Then, a strong gust of wind swept by.

The standing Silver Wolf lunged forward on all fours, charging towards him with overwhelming force.

The danger was imminent, leaving no room for choice.

Rein's pupils contracted slightly, and he instantly made a judgment in his mind, "The speed is still within the range of detection. We can take him down!"

In a split second, he finally decided to take action!

Having entered a state of "Bloodthirsty Frenzy," the werewolf wouldn't resort to tactics like concealing its strength. Its combat power at this level is truly only that of First Tier demon wolf.

Just then, the Silver Wolf, which was half a head taller than him, pounced in front of him, its sharp claws flashing coldly, about to strike his neck.

How could Rein possibly give it a chance?

He had already started the boiler of the Steam Mechanical Arm, and the moment the Silver Wolf charged, he directly rammed it with his right arm equipped with the Mechanical Arm.

Iron Mountain Lean!

"Bang!"

A dull thud as flesh and bone collided.

With all his might, Rein slammed into the Silver Wolf's lower ribs. The steel Mechanical Arm struck flesh and blood; the second burst of force jolted the giant wolf, and the third burst sent the massive Silver Wolf flying.

The silver figure flew backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

Rein was also taken aback. "Huh, this guy is too weak. Aren't werewolves supposed to be made of steel?"

Although I knew this guy was seriously injured, how could I have actually defeated the legendary "White Wolf" Bazel, one of the "Top Ten Legendary Demon Hunters," with a single collision?

In the blink of an eye, although he was surprised that the battle was so easy, his hands moved without slowing down at all.

Just as the Silver Wolf was flying backward and hadn't landed, Rein suddenly pushed off the ground and lunged forward. Then, taking advantage of the momentum, he grabbed the Silver Wolf's leg, pulled it back sharply, and then kicked it hard in the waist.

The waist is like a tofu block, which is one of the weak points in the flesh of almost all demon wolves!

With a muffled "thud," sounding like a bone cracking, Silver Wolf instinctively let out a painful groan.

Just as Rein was still feeling uneasy and was about to strike again, the spider doctor above him quickly spoke up and stopped him, saying, "I barely managed to revive him. Don't kill him!"

"."

Rein pursed his lips slightly upon hearing this, then withdrew his killing move. He then changed his strategy, using his Mechanical Arm to flick the wolf claws away and lock them to the ground.

At that moment, he noticed that the Silver Wolf beneath him seemed to have shrunk by half, rapidly shrinking down. Its blood-stained silver fur also receded like a receding tide.

In just a few breaths, Silver Wolf transformed into a burly man with a full beard.

Looking at his face again, who else could it be but Bazel Gustav?
