You're Finally Coming Back to My Side

"... Wei Ke?" Yi Weina looked at the wailing Pure Silver Wolf and asked in a trembling voice, "Is that you?"

The Pure Silver Wolf stopped wailing and turned to look at Yi Weina.

It no longer possessed any human characteristics, and was even more extreme than it had been that night.

But Yi Weina knew it was still the "Wei Ke" she knew, because its eyes... were still filled with tears.

This made Yi Weina realize that it was very likely that it had already understood everything.

"Wei Ke ...no," Yi Weina whispered, "You already know, don't you... A De."

A De let out an extremely sad whimper, and then, as if torturing himself, frantically scratched his head with his claws.

"No! A De, don't do this!"

Yi Weina immediately rushed over, trying to hug A De, just like she always had done before.

But she failed. The moment her hand touched A De's hair, A De suddenly sprang up and sent Yi Weina flying.

Yi Weina fell into the mud.

"Woo... Roar!"

A De seemed to be wailing, or perhaps roaring.

Ignoring her own pain, Yi Weina looked at A De again and found A De face contorted, half ferocious and half calm. The two contrasting expressions on the same face made Yi Weina realize that A De was still fighting the "Saint."

Yi Weina immediately climbed out of the mud pit, wanting to rush to A De's side again, but heard A De let out a low growl and speak in human language.

"Don't come any closer!"

Yi Weina had no choice but to stand there.

A De struggled and said, "Don't come any closer... I can't control myself."

"No, A De! You can do it!"

"I can't do it," A De said in a desperate tone. "Wei Ke is dead... I can't find him anymore..."

Yi Weina froze.

"I remember now... I remember everything. Wei Ke told me to wait for him, and then he told me to leave. He cut off his own flesh... and told me to leave. That's the truth. I ate his flesh, I ate his flesh..."

Whether it was desperately fighting against another consciousness within him or because his language ability was rapidly being lost after Complete Wolf Transformation, A De spoke incoherently, so much so that it took Yi Weina a long time to understand what was going on.

A month ago, Wei Ke brought the dying A De to the Sacrificial Ground.

A De was in very poor condition at that time and could lose his life at any moment, but Wei Ke could not find the cause and could only place his hopes on the Hunter ability "blood healing".

Wei Ke was a very intelligent man. Along the way, he realized that the Sacrificial Ground was not as simple as he had imagined, and he sensed danger and conspiracy. So, before reaching the Blood Hunter Statue, he stopped, just as Yi Weina had done that night, leaving A De behind, intending to investigate on his own.

If there were no conspiracy, and he successfully obtained the power of blood healing, he could return and heal A De.

If so, he hoped that A De would leave immediately and never come back.

At that time, A De was already seriously ill, and they had no food left, so it had no strength to leave.

So Wei Ke's choice was... to cut off a piece of his own flesh and leave it for A De.

This is why there is a part of Wei Ke in A De's body.

"I ate his flesh..." A De said, trembling. "I fled from here... I abandoned him... Wei Ke ... I abandoned him... I abandoned him all alone..."

A De's voice grew softer and softer, becoming increasingly difficult to hear, like a drowning person about to lose their last bit of strength.

"No! A De! Don't think like that!" Yi Weina's tears also flowed uncontrollably, but she still gritted her teeth and said to A De, "It's not that you abandoned him, it's that he saved you."

"This... is the same!"

"No, this is different!" Yi Weina shouted. "This is completely different! He wants you to live!"

A De's trembling body froze.

"He gave his life to keep you alive, didn't he?" Yi Weina comforted A De as she slowly moved closer to him. "He wanted you to live, he wanted you not to come back, so you have to live on for him, don't you? Don't forget, you can still remember his words, you can still hear his voice... He has always lived inside you, hasn't he?"

A De buried his head in the ground and kept sobbing.

"So, live on, okay?" Yi Weina walked slowly to A De. "Don't let that Saint defeat you. Let's leave here together, taking Wei Ke's share with us."

A De was still crying, Yi Weina reached out her hand to its head.

"Let's leave here together."

Yi Weina spoke softly.

However, just as her hand was about to touch A De's head again, A De, who had been sobbing softly, suddenly roared, and his pure silver fur immediately crackled with blinding arcs of electricity.

At the same time, it suddenly raised its head, its dark blue eyes filled with anger and murderous intent.

But by the time Yi Weina realized the danger, it was too late.

With a "splatter," blood splattered everywhere.

The claws lashed out from below, instantly tearing Yi Weina into a bloody mess.

Yi Weina collapsed in the mud again.

But the Pure Silver Wolf did not let Yi Weina go, and instead swung its claws at Yi Weina's head again.

Yi Weina had no way to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the claws fell.

Then came another "pfft" sound.

The claws stopped, and drops of blood fell onto Yi Weina's face.

Yi Weina's eyes widened.

Because that blood wasn't hers, but... A De's own.

A De bit the claw that was reaching for Yi Weina's head.

Those two eerie green pupils, one held a mocking glint, the other an angry rage.

"Roar"!

With another roar, the Pure Silver Wolf, its teeth clenched, suddenly shook its head.

"Swish".

A De tore off his own claws.

"A De!!!" Yi Weina shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Awooo!!!"

The Pure Silver Wolf tossed the severed arm aside and gave Yi Weina one last look.

Then, without looking back, he ran towards the statue of the Blood Therapy Hunter.

"No... A De, come back!" Yi Weina struggled to get up, but she was too badly injured to even lift half of her body. She could only watch helplessly as A De disappeared from her sight.

Yi Weina knew why A De wanted to go there; its eyes had already told Yi Weina.

Because that was the last place Wei Ke went.

The enormous creature huddled deep within the Sacrificial Ground seemed to sense something and slowly opened its eyes.

"Ah, my Saint," it said slowly, "You are finally... returning to my side."
