Let's End It Here

"Saint?!"

When Zane saw the silver lightning piercing the darkness like an arrow, his eyes widened in astonishment.

He just charged straight at me like that?!

Therefore, although the plan to lure the saint by Yi Weina went wrong in the process, the result was still good, as the Saint was still lured over.

But Zane felt no joy whatsoever, because along with the Saint came a wave of oppressive force that immediately put Zane on high alert.

They actually entered this posture directly.

In this way, Zane had no time to make any other preparations. He immediately roared, his pupils turned eerie green, and his mane-covered muscles burst through his clothes.

Complete Wolf...

"Bang"!

Before he could Complete Wolf Transformation, Wei Ke shot towards him like a ball of lightning, then slammed him away with a "boom," taking the "Wolf Grandmother" behind him with him.

"Roar"!

Wei Ke was also roaring.

In fact, he had already seen everything that had happened here, but he had been hesitant about whether to come over.

Whether it was because of the injection of Ryan's blood or not, Wei Ke's abilities in all aspects were much better than before after becoming Hunter. His perception was much stronger than when he first met Bai Wei, to the point that even the Chief of the Wildfire Sect could not compare to him.

So when Zane discovered Wei Ke's presence, Wei Ke had already taken in everything that was happening there.

But he didn't know what to do.

Although he stopped thinking independently after meeting Bai Wei and entrusted everything to Bai Wei, which made his brain seem somewhat sluggish, it did not mean that he understood nothing.

At least he knew that Yi Weina was now on the Wildfire Sect's side.

In other words, they are enemies.

Although he was reluctant to think this way, it was the truth. This made Wei Ke feel a little sad, so much so that he couldn't control his emotions and was noticed by Zane.

Then he saw what happened next: he saw Yi Weina screaming for him to run, and he saw Zane attack Yi Weina, almost killing Yi Weina.

It all happened so fast that he hadn't even figured out what was going on, but he understood one thing.

Yi Weina wanted to save him, so Yi Weina isn't a bad person.

People are either bad or good.

So his body responded.

He had to save Yi Weina, he absolutely had to.

But what if it's too far away?

Regardless, he was determined to save her.

So he ran towards Yi Weina with all his might.

Zane was then knocked flying.

"Run!"

Wei Ke called out to Yi Weina, but Yi Weina had already fainted due to her severe injuries. This made Wei Ke very anxious, and he immediately rushed to Yi Weina's side to carry her away.

But he soon realized that he had no idea where to start.

Because he has no hands, and his outstretched claws are electrified, he could easily send Yi Weina to meet her grandmother if he's not careful.

Before Wei Ke could come up with a solution, a low growl came from inside the cave.

A two-headed giant wolf charged out.

It was Zane.

Being hit head-on by Wei Ke left him badly injured, but not fatally. So, once he was Complete Wolf Transformation, he immediately launched a counterattack against Wei Ke.

The two giant wolves, one black and one white, collided, creating a tremendous roar that shook the entire cave.

Zane's two heads, one biting Wei Ke's neck and the other baring against Wei Ke's ear, roared.

[Mind Shock!]

Zane knew that the Saint' Complete Wolf Transformation bodies were stronger than theirs, after all, this was their leader's power.

So Zane decided to strike first and deal a heavy blow to Wei Ke.

This was also the first time Wei Ke had taken a direct hit from [Mind Shock]. In that instant, he felt his entire mind was in chaos, with countless voices echoing in his head at the same time.

But this also caused Wei Ke's already limited mastery of power to begin to spiral out of control.

Then a huge explosion occurred, and the already terrifying lightning became even more violent, to the point that even the surrounding air began to distort.

Zane's other head was biting into such an out-of-control energy entity.

In that instant, Zane also felt that he was about to meet the Little Saintess's grandmother.

So he tried to let go, but Wei Ke noticed his movement and immediately opened his arms and pulled Zane into his embrace... Lightning!

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"

Zane cried out in pain, struggling desperately to break free, but Wei Ke wouldn't let go, instead increasing the electricity.

This stunned Zane, and he could even faintly smell the aroma of meat emanating from his own body.

Damn it... why is this happening?!

Zane couldn't understand it.

What I can't understand isn't that Wei Ke has developed his power to such an extent, but rather why he hasn't awakened it yet after developing it to this level!

This is entirely due to the boss's power!

Logically speaking, someone who can use his power to this extent should no longer be Saint, but a leader!

But why hasn't he awakened yet, and why is he still attacking me?

Could it be that... the one who wanted to kill me wasn't some Saint?

Or is it the boss?

Actually, the boss had already woken up a long time ago?

Zane was already delirious from the electric shocks, and those absurd conspiracy theories involuntarily popped into his mind.

Just as his body was nearing its limit and he was about to meet the Little Saintess's grandmother, the electricity suddenly disappeared.

Zane was taken aback. He subconsciously thought that his boss had decided to let him go out of pity, but when he looked closely, he found that it wasn't because of... Yi Weina.

Wei Ke's frenzied, thunderous state didn't last long, but its astonishing power had already transformed the entire cave.

The extreme heat distorted the air, and the ground beneath our feet was covered with spiderweb-like cracks split apart by lightning.

These cracks were like countless hands of death, reaching out to Yi Weina was standing to the side.

If it spreads even a little further, Yi Weina will be instantly killed by this frenzied and powerful force.

Wei Ke noticed this, which is why he restrained his power.

In that instant, Zane realized that this guy was definitely not the boss; he was still that brainless idiot.

Zane roared again, immediately breaking free from Wei Ke 'Wei Ke grasp and launching a counterattack.

After Wei Ke withdrew the lightning, his physical strength immediately dropped significantly, and his power could no longer match Zane's. He was instantly torn apart by Zane's claw, leaving a mist of blood.

"I'm going to tear your arms and legs off!" Zane roared at Wei Ke.

Wei Ke also began to fight back.

However, Zane had already exploited Wei Ke's weakness and kept moving closer to Yi Weina during the battle.

As a result, Wei Ke, who was already less experienced in combat than Zane, dared not use his lightning power and immediately fell into a disadvantageous position. His left shoulder was bitten hard by one of Zane's heads, and a large piece of flesh was torn off with a "rip" sound, causing him to involuntarily let out a wail.

But the wailing excited Zane.

"Look at yourself now!" Zane roared as he attacked. "You possess the greatest strength, yet you have the most worthless brain! Wake up! Remember who you are! Remember what you should do!"

After being injured, Wei Ke was even less of a match for Zane.

Moreover, after being hit by Zane's Mind Shock, his mind had been in a mess, as if countless people were talking to him.

These noises have not only not stopped, but are actually getting louder, and are having a huge impact on Wei Ke.

...what to do?!

Wei Ke was cornered by Zane, with Yi Weina behind him.

He'll die if this continues.

Yi Weina will die.

Wei Ke's pupils narrowed slightly.

Let's give it our all!

Zane lunged at Wei Ke's neck again, but just as he was about to bite, he saw arcs of electricity crackle from Wei Ke's body.

Not again?!

The painful memory from just now immediately flooded his mind, causing him to reflexively stop his attack and then take a large step back three or four meters.

Foolish! I'm on guard this time. Just kill that Little Saintess.

Zane couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

But the expected thunderstorm did not arrive. Instead of unleashing lightning, Wei Ke turned around and bit Yi Weina's clothes as Zane retreated, then turned and ran away.

Zane's sneer froze.

Damn, he's got quite a clever mind.

But if you're injured and carrying someone, how far do you plan to run?

Zane immediately gave chase.

Wei Ke felt like his head was about to explode.

He ran wildly through the woods, surrounded by Corpse Ghoul that roamed the night.

They couldn't keep up with Wei Ke's speed at all, but in Wei Ke's eyes, they were like rows of ghosts, silently and indifferently watching his disheveled state.

The noise in my mind didn't disappear; in fact, it grew louder and clearer.

He could already hear what those voices were saying.

"From now on, you'll be A De, and I'll be called Wei Ke. You're your... family? Yes, family."

Don't you want to find your little Little Wolf?

"What made you want to become Hunter?"

One voice after another, like countless hands, tried to drag Wei Ke into the abyss.

"Where do you think you're going?!" Zane's mocking voice came from behind. "You can't escape, kid! In the wild, a dog is destined to outrun a wolf!"

Wei Ke didn't respond because he had Yi Weina in his mouth.

But she was about to run out of food, because she was running too fast and Yi Weina's clothes were about to tear.

Therefore, Wei Ke had to switch from crawling on all fours to crawling on two feet, and degenerate his forelimbs to protect Yi Weina.

This naturally made him even slower than Zane, who was already lagging behind in running speed.

"Look at yourself, you fool." Zane didn't seem to be in a hurry to catch up with Wei Ke, but instead continued to put pressure on him from behind. "You have much greater power than me, yet you can only be chased by me... Have you ever thought about why?"

Yes, why is that?

In a daze, Wei Ke couldn't help but follow Zane's lead.

"Because you can never abandon your weakness!"

Unable to abandon... the weak?

"Look at what you're holding," Zane said. "What is that? It's just a lump of rotten flesh."

Wei Ke lowered his head and looked at Yi Weina in his arms.

She was covered in blood and pale, which involuntarily reminded Wei Ke of a long time ago, at the Butcher's house.

On the Butcher's cutting board, there were also pieces of "rotten meat."

"But you're going to risk your life for this lump of rotten flesh, to be killed by me, who is far weaker," Zane shouted. "Saint! Do you really think it's worth it?"

Is it worth it?

In a daze, Wei Ke was struck in the thigh by Zane, and he stumbled forward and fell.

But in his current physical condition, a head-on fall would definitely crush Yi Weina in his arms. He could only spin around in the air and land on his wounded back.

The powerful impact caused his back to scrape against the ground for more than ten meters before coming to a stop, leaving his entire back a bloody mess.

Zane walked slowly toward him, stepping on the marks Wei Ke had made with his blood, while talking to himself.

"See? You're really going to be killed by me for this lump of rotten flesh." He said with a laugh, "I'm clearly weaker than you, and you're the one who should have survived to the end, so... are you really willing to die like this?"

Yes... is he really willing to accept this?

Wei Ke's breathing gradually became heavier.

Do I really want to die for someone like that?

A look of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Zane noticed this confusion and couldn't help but smile.

He had already sensed the leader's aura from Wei Ke just now.

The boss is waking up.

This guy overused the boss's power, making the boss's consciousness increasingly clear.

With just a little more effort, the great undertaking could be accomplished.

Zane's smile widened.

"Think about it, Saint," he said softly. "We don't need to make such a fuss. They are the meat on the chopping block, but we are not... We are the predators, the noblest predators. Predators shouldn't kill each other for such rotten meat, should they?"

Wei Ke looked up and saw Zane extending his hand to him.

"Remember everything, Saint," Zane said. "Then come back to us and together... create a new world."

Wei Ke looked at Zane with a confused expression.

He still had many things he couldn't figure out, but he felt that Zane was right.

Yes, he shouldn't have died here.

He is better than anyone else; he should create a new world, not go and die.

... Yes, he can't die.

Everyone can die, but he cannot.

Wei Ke slowly raised his hand and reached it out towards Zane.

During this process, the hand gradually lengthened, attempting to transform into claws, and the long-dormant lightning once again leaped onto the silver mane, while the wounds also healed.

Once you hold that hand, everything will be over.

That's what he was thinking.

At that moment, another voice exploded in my mind.

"You're not a dog! Nor are you a monster!"

Wei Ke's outstretched hand stopped.

The wildly growing mane quickly subsided, and the pulsating electric arcs subsided.

Under Zane's gaze, he withdrew his hand and spoke in a trembling but firm tone.

"I am Hunter... not a monster."

The world fell silent.

Zane narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I see." He shook his head slightly and extended his claws again. "That's such a shame."

Wei Ke held Yi Weina tightly, closed his eyes, and awaited death.

But death did not come.

"And he calls himself Hunter? Are Hunter all so quick to just give up and wait to die?"

A familiar voice rang out.

Wei Ke suddenly opened his eyes.

Under the moonlight, Bai Wei stood leisurely in front of him, with Zane under his feet.

Zane's head was pinned to Bai Wei's Serrated Knife, and blood and brain matter were gushing out of the Serrated Knife.

Wei Ke paused for a moment, then immediately became excited. "Ulu!"

"You're not even willing to call me Father anymore?"

Bai Wei leisurely rubbed a handful of fire and threw it onto Zane's corpse. As the flames ignited, he sheathed his Serrated Knife and then stretched.

"That's enough for tonight," he said to Wei Ke with a smile. "Go home."
