Chapter 69: Death Queen (1)

Under the red moon, the three werewolf contractors howled to the skies, their growls billowing with each second.

Which was a starting point of them getting more than serious…

…for the man before them encased in the black armor turned out to be a bigger threat than everyone from the World Order had thought!

Basking in the red light and reflecting the bloody luminescence of the moon with their crimson hues, the contractors began shedding their humanity by growing fur on their bodies. 

Their long cloaks slid down onto the ground as though someone cut the seams, revealing women in nothing but fur, with only human flesh creating a V-line on their chests, exposing their deep cleavages.

Hanging on their hands were slightly elongated white nails, which were like knives yet short enough to allow those women to keep balling their hands to fight at the highest capability by mixing werewolf and human styles.

Another significant change was their heads, which were like they had put werewolf masks onto them. From the mouths of those masks, obscured by sharp teeth, poked out the red eyes of the contractors. 

Crowning these horrific and unnatural transformations were the eyes of the actual werewolf spirit, rocking with earnest killing intents toward the man whose skills threatened their vampire pals.

"Gnaw him to death!"

Taking off with a loud battle scream and even louder stomp on the ground, the first contractor zoomed straight at Hunter, whose eyes sheathed in the black visor were barely keeping up with her strength. When she invaded his space, Hunter was still frozen, far too late to react to her absurd speed…

…let alone strength as the chucked fist popped cracks on the black armor of the Dullahan Knight, forcing him to take a step backward!

Which was shocking as the werewolf woman expected him to fly off and hit the tree!

-

'How many of those punches can I take before she breaches my Dullahan's defenses?! It's not the gray world, either, so I have a limited time in this transformation! One minute… I give myself one minute before I proceed to the main plan!' Hunter inwardly assessed the situation with every experience he had at hand.

In this one minute he'd given to himself, he had to at least punch this werewolf woman once!

Yet, it wasn't like he was just fighting against one of them…

After that one punch, the first werewolf foe slammed three more hits onto the same spot, opening more cracks. When Hunter had already decided to go all out and used his Red Roses off his gauntlets to respond with a combination of strength and utility, the second werewolf flew at him from the side, breaking his flow.

The third werewolf repeated the same move, cracking more of Hunter's defenses.

He was like a huge boss from the game with tons of health points and defenses, with werewolves being players moving around and thrusting their skills at him, occasionally tumbling around to avoid the boss' patterns.

Since Hunter didn't really have the privilege of playing these games, he didn't see himself in such a situation. Instead, he understood that time was against him, and the limits of his Red Rose and Dullahan Knight Combination became even clearer to him, for he still had to wound himself to let them out.

"Fight us! You cowards! Imagine going for a man first when there's a woman in sight! Pathetic!" Aimee tried to step into the flow of Hunter's struggles to help him, yet the werewolf seamlessly ignored her.

The same happened on Seraphina's side, who was also doing her best to help Hunter.

But no taunt could stop those drenched in killing intent beasts!

That was until Hunter grasped the werewolf contractor's forearm, pressuring her with his strength. 

The problem was that he had caught her with his left hand, and that alone wasn't enough to imprison her in his space. She freely yanked off his catch and resumed the deadly flow against him.

One minute passed then.

Hunter switched his entire plan, allowing the werewolf's punch to break into his black armor, sinking her fist into his hulking defenses. As she hit him in the black leather armor, the second and much weaker defense, Hunter nimbly lifted his legs off the ground, taking a long flight behind.

Hopeless, Aimee and Seraphina could only chase after him to take his front.

After rolling on the ground, Hunter quickly lifted his head and spoke to his teammates, "I'll be an enabler… it's been like that from the start, hasn't it? Against the bear… against the lizard… I will take the front and enable you to kill them. But do you really want to go against The World Order because of me? They don't seem to be interested-"

Aimee slapped Hunter's visor, "Idiot! You have me by your side! Speak your plan already!"

Seraphina nodded, "I'm with you."

At that moment, Hunter's heart squeezed so much he felt like suppressed feelings of past reincarnations clenched his heart, telling him how much of a fool he would be if he weren't to treasure these two women!

How much of an idiot he would be if he didn't turn them into his for eternity!

"Listen then…" Hunter revealed his next moves, putting Seraphina and Aimee in a situation no sane human could handle.

Aimee was the first one to slam her little fist onto Hunter's black pauldron! "I can't do that! What are you even thinking?! Even if you were an immortal, I wouldn't be able-"

"Quiet," Hunter flatly silenced Aimee before looking into her eyes, "You will do it. Because I can't die. That's the secret."

"Don't lie to me now, you-"

"I'm not lying," Hunter rose onto his two feet and shifted to Seraphina's pale face, "You'll also do what I told you. No matter the pain I will feel… you will do it because I'm used to pain. No amount of aching can eclipse the disappointment I feel in myself at this very moment. So… follow the plan, and let's get over this! We can't be late for our first mission, can we?!"
