The Werewolf's Might

When I turned to look at Riven, she was surrounded by several giant wolves, her arms were covered in blood, and her greatsword had fallen from her hand.

I ignored Uncle Wolf and rushed over, unleashing my strongest gust of wind, but it only managed to knock the wolves back a few steps.

I didn't have time to ask about Riven's injuries because the giant wolves pounced on me again. They were just as ferocious as Uncle Wolf, and their bodies were incredibly tough!

Many of the giant wolves died, and those that survived were all severely injured, their internal organs scattered and their bones exposed. Even so, they still charged forward recklessly!

Under such a fierce attack, I began to consider retreating. It seemed that Uncle Wolf had made ample preparations, and these giant wolves had been enhanced by special means!

I fought my way out and escaped with Riven. These beasts were very fast, and even with all my strength, I couldn't shake them off. Just then, Riven fell down. Her leg was injured, and she couldn't use her Wind Riding Technique Manipulation Wind Riding Technique as freely as I could.

I sheathed my sword, hoisted Riven onto my back, and continued running. Although her weight wasn't much to me, it was a different story with the Wind Riding Technique; even a pound or ounce would affect our speed.

"Put me down, you can still walk on your own."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's okay!"

"I'm serious, you can leave me here and run away on my own. I'll use the box Boss Tam gave me to escape."

"I'm not sure what the box will do. What if it doesn't work? Do you want me to feel guilty to death?"

After hearing this, Riven stopped talking, and her warm tears fell onto my neck.

Before long, we were caught up by the giant wolf. If we could barely hold our own just now, Riven's injuries wouldn't last much longer, especially since she was unarmed!

I wanted to give her the Gale Sword and keep the scabbard for myself, but she refused to take it. I had no choice but to give her the scabbard.

Normally, I don't pay much attention to the scabbard since I always carry it with me, but now it's surprisingly useful for Riven. It turns out that not only can the Gale Sword respond to the Wind Force and exert its power, but the scabbard is also a rare treasure!

This scene makes me grateful to Souma; he gave me a priceless treasure. If he knew this treasure was protecting the person who killed him, would he forgive me?

We rallied and killed many more giant wolves, gradually scattering the wolf pack. However, Riven was completely incapacitated and had to rely on my cover to survive.

Even more terrifying is that Uncle Wolf has now completely transformed into a werewolf, his bared teeth making it seem as if his eyes are filled only with blood!

Soon I also got injured; the wound was on my shoulder, from when Uncle Wolf scratched me.

After the first wound appeared, a second, a third... blood quickly covered his entire body.

This blood was mostly from the giant wolves, and their blood caused me excruciating pain when it touched my wounds! I really don't know what methods Uncle Wolf used to enhance these beasts!

"Don't insist, let's use the box together." Riven had already gripped the box in her hand, ready to open it at any moment.

"Wait a little longer, someone's coming!"

Riven and I stood back to back, defending ourselves. I saw torches lit up in the direction of the Avarosa tribe. We had just been running at full speed and weren't far from there. It seemed we had been discovered!

Soon the main force arrived, led by Tryndamere and Ashe, who led dozens of warriors to our side and surrounded the giant wolf and Uncle Wolf.

We've killed off most of the wolves; there are only about twenty left, but their fighting power should not be underestimated!

"Be careful, these giant wolves are strange!"

"It's alright! Freljord are born to fight these beasts!"

Although Tryndamere was not afraid of them, he noticed something was wrong with the giant wolves; these creatures were both fierce and difficult to kill!

The good news is that Uncle Wolf didn't fight the Avarosa people to the death, but instead ran away, which shows he still has some sense.

Without the alpha wolf, these henchmen were much easier to deal with. After a difficult struggle, we finally wiped out these beasts.

How are you, Yasuo?

"I'm fine, but Riven is badly injured. We need to get her treated right away!"

I hoisted Riven onto my back again and ran back, leaving even these strong, burly Great Han far behind.

Upon arriving at the palace, the hall was brightly lit, and many doctors were already prepared. They immediately prepared medicine to treat our injuries. Soon after, Tryndamere and the others returned and asked us what had happened.

"What's with those wolves? Why are they so strong, and shouldn't you be resting?"

"It was Uncle Wolf's doing! Actually, that's why we came here..."

I told him what had happened, but many people didn't believe me. After all, Uncle Wolf was their Old Chieftain and had a high reputation.

Tryndamere didn't believe it either, and said coldly, "What you said is inappropriate, I cannot accept it. Please leave once you've recovered from your injuries."

I never expected things to turn out this way. Given the current situation, I can only swallow my anger. After the doctor finished applying the medicine, Ashe had someone take us back to our rooms. Everyone's attitude was cold.

The night was already well past, and there was no point in arguing with them about it. I planned to rest well, leave, and then come back with Darius to seek revenge on Uncle Wolf!

Because of the pain from my wound, I couldn't sleep, so I just closed my eyes to rest. Suddenly, someone quietly entered the room. I thought someone was coming to ambush us, and I was about to make a move when I heard the person speak. It was Tryndamere's voice:

"You guys aren't asleep, are you?"

"Not yet. What brings you here so late?"

"I apologize for what I just said. I know the Old Chieftain is acting strangely, but the people here don't allow others to question him, so I said those things to avoid conflict."

"Oh, I see. I almost misunderstood you. I'm sorry."

"I should apologize to you for injuring such an important guest, someone who had helped me before. But don't worry, I've already sent my former barbarian followers to protect you secretly. Leave at dawn."

"Thank you for your trouble, but I have a question: why are the people here so supportive of Uncle Wolf?"

"Although it's not nice for you to say this, the Old Chieftain truly did his utmost for the development of the tribe, which is why he was so popular."

"Well, it's just a matter of stance; it seems he's quite xenophobic."

"It's not just outsiders, it's me too. He outwardly accepts the alliance between the two tribes, but in reality, he's wary of me at every turn."

"Then why did he step down as clan leader? He appears to be living in seclusion, yet he's always concerned with everything."

"Actually, there are many things I don't know, but one thing is for sure: he genuinely cares about Ashe, so I didn't fall out with him."

"Okay, I understand. We'll leave at dawn, and we might need your escort for a while."

"Of course."

After Tryndamere explained things clearly, he left. We still couldn't sleep and endured the pain until dawn.
