Player Who Became A Constellation [EN]: Chapter 208

The werewolf, witnessing the scene, broke into a cold sweat.

He swung his fist immediately, but the spear, which had been stuck there, was pulled out in an instant, and at the same time, his body was split in half, floating into the air.

“What…?”

He couldn’t react at all.

The werewolf collapsed to the ground.

Loki stared at the werewolf, then turned his head to look at the woman.

“Wh-Who are you!?”

At the woman’s question, Loki, still holding the spear, headed towards the entrance of the alley.

“A traveler.”

***

The werewolves were enjoying their feast.

Some adventurers, having heard the rumors of the werewolves, prepared silver swords, silver arrows, and holy water. However, most of the mercenaries had already been deployed as subjugation forces, so the adventurers didn’t have much of an impact on the werewolves.

Even the soldiers of the Keltel Lord had been turned into werewolves in advance, so there were no forces left to protect the city.

There was nothing to be afraid of.

Like fish in water, the werewolves rampaged and hunted humans.

There were many humans in this city center.

Since there was no one left to protect them, by the end of the night, there would be more werewolves than humans.

Then they wouldn’t have to be afraid of humans, even during the day.

With their numbers increased, they would be able to subdue humans even in broad daylight.

Keltel was finished.

“Hey! I told you to increase our numbers, not to eat!” A werewolf shouted, looking at his fellow werewolf on the outer wall surrounding Keltel, who was chewing on a human leg.

The soldiers on the outer wall had already been defeated.

The werewolf chewing on the human leg shrugged.

“What’s the big deal? A human or two is fine.”

“Increasing our numbers is the priority. We need an army to fight Asgard!”

“…Are we really going to war with Asgard? Those monsters…?”

“What?”

“No… I mean… they attacked our nest. Even though we attacked their base at night from our nest… we were defeated in reverse.”

“…….”

“Even though night is supposed to be our time, we were defeated by them so futilely. They’re just monsters. If we face them head-on, it’s really dangerous-”

“Grrrr-!”

“……!”

“If you spout that nonsense again, I’ll bite you even if you’re one of us.”

The werewolf chewing on the human leg flinched.

“Cowardly.”

The werewolf clicked his tongue and turned his head, looking at his fellow werewolf.

“Huh?”

Something was moving in the forest.

His eyes could see something blue moving.

“What is it?”

It was a color that couldn’t be considered human body temperature.

Rather, it was the opposite, a color imbued with coldness.

‘Undead?’

“Huh, it seems the underworld is connected nearby.”

Geez, the world is really ending.

But they weren’t beings that would pose a threat.

Since they were the same undead, those spirits would wander aimlessly, looking for other living beings rather than staying here.

“We’re sorry for stealing your prey, but there’s nothing for you to eat in this territory.”

Surely, if they recognized the werewolves, the spirits would turn away.

However, countless spirits continued to emerge from the forest, endlessly.

The number gradually increased, filling the forest with coldness.

The cold energy was transmitted to the werewolves on the outer wall.

Feeling their fur standing on end, the other werewolves turned their heads to look outside the wall.

Something was wrong.

The number of spirits was increasing. Moreover, they were heading towards Keltel with weapons drawn.

Among them, there was a being that felt alive.

For a moment, the werewolves felt a piercing pain in their eyes.

“What!?”

A hot giant stood tall among the cold spirits.

A giant reaching 3m [approximately 10 feet].

“Ogre?”

But the appearance was different, and the height was also shorter.

Just a human with an abnormally large build.

But there was no way a human could have such a build… Above all, there were horns on his head and his skin was red.

They sensed an indescribable heat from him.

“Ooooooo!”

Canute raised his anvil and spun it in the air.

The anvil rotated, and its speed increased.

Flames were contained in the anvil. Heat filled and spread out.

The ground cracked, and lava spewed out.

“Th-That looks dangerous!?”

Canute threw the anvil towards Keltel’s wall.

“R-Run away!”

The anvil collided with Keltel’s wall.

No collision sound was heard.

The wall didn’t break, but rather melted into liquid due to the heat.

Becoming lava, the wall melted down.

“Kyaaaaaaak!”

The werewolves fell into the lava and burned alive.

Flailing, they were sucked in without leaving even bones.

However, those lavas did not last long and hardened due to the cold energy of the spirits.

The werewolves broke into a cold sweat and stared at the hill created between the melted and hardened walls.

A silent silence flowed.

And…

“Kieaaaaaaaak!”

The spirits poured in like a swarm of insects through the small gap.

For a moment, the werewolves were flustered, but the spirits jumped up and pounced on them.

They slashed and cut the leather with their swords.

“Wh-What is it!?”

“Why are the spirits attacking us!”

The werewolves panicked and swung their fists.

The spirits pulled their bodies back and pushed the werewolves away by stabbing them with spears.

“Kuhook!”

The spirits, who had occupied the collapsed outer wall, climbed onto the wall and took out their bows.

Arrows pierced the werewolves.

Each one wasn’t that strong of an attack.

But there were countless numbers of them.

“How did this-”

“Hahahahaha!”

The werewolf raised his head.

A zombie with blue hair jumped up and raised a greatsword.

‘A Nord [a person from the Nordic countries]?’

“Glory to Loki-!”

The werewolf’s eyes widened.

“Could it be, Asgard’s-!”

The greatsword split the werewolf’s shoulder in half.

“-Spirits….”

Asgard’s spirits began to occupy the Keltel territory.

***

The Keltel Lord raised his head.

“What is it?”

He heard a scream-like shout in his ear.

A terrible roar that was too gruesome to be made by a living being.

The roar shook the atmosphere.

‘The wail of a spirit.’

The Keltel Lord, whose front was invisible due to the darkness.

His body stiffened as if he was nervous, hearing the sound of the spirit.

This was the same for Catherine.

Her red fur stood on end.

Unlike the Keltel Lord, she could see with her eyes.

She could feel the body temperature of her kin, and even smell their scent.

However, the body temperature of those kin was covered by the coldness of the spirits and disappeared one by one.

The scent of her kin was also obscured by the smell of the spirits and disappeared.

‘What’s going on…?!’

“Kuoohhhhhhhh!”

The spirits surged in like a wave, sweeping away the werewolves in the Keltel territory.

The number was countless.

‘What happened? Why are the spirits here-!?’

Catherine’s pupils shook violently, as if representing her agitation.

‘Maybe.’

They might be attacking to devour even themselves, who were the same undead.

The spirits roamed the streets of the city.

They staggered as if they couldn’t properly control their bodies, but they quickly sprinted, maintained their balance, and wielded their weapons to hunt werewolves.

‘They’re not ordinary spirits!?’

Each and every one of the spirits possessed outstanding skills.

And-.

Crack-!

After hunting a werewolf, the spirits left the human nearby as it was and rushed towards other werewolves.

‘They leave the living as they are?!’

These were not ordinary spirits.

They were beings moving under someone’s command.

“Let’s go! We can’t lose to the spirits!”

Catherine’s eyes instinctively turned to the outer wall surrounding Keltel.

She saw a bright light from the wall.

‘What…?!’

The Lord of Keltel seemed to have seen it too.

“It’s… light.”

Nord warriors stood tall between the walls where hills were created by melting due to high temperatures.

Bright light was engraved on their swords.

The blessing of Mercury, the constellation of light [referring to a celestial alignment or divine influence associated with light].

It was engraved on their weapons, illuminating the surroundings.

Brilliant light spread throughout the Keltel territory, which was plunged into darkness.

“It’s, it’s, light!”

“It’s light!!!”

The territory residents in Keltel widened their eyes.

The light they had been hoping for.

The warriors standing on the collapsed wall, driving out the darkness, were emitting it.

“Th-They’re the warriors of light!”

The sight of the Nord warriors with blue hair raising their weapons looked like warriors of light descended from the sky.

***

“Let’s go!”

“We can’t let the spirits steal our credit!”

The Nord warriors descended from the hill of the collapsed wall and sprinted through the city.

The werewolves covered their eyes with their hands at the sight of the weapons that shone and emitted light.

The light made the werewolves’ vision painful.

In the end, the werewolves lost their sight in the middle of the night, and conversely, the Asgardian spirit legion and the Nord warriors had their vision brightened.

Crack-!

The Nord warriors stabbed the werewolves with their spears and pushed them forward.

They jumped up and shoved their swords into the gap between their open mouths.

“R-Run away!”

The blessing of light descended on the city of Keltel, illuminating everything.

“Don’t let a single one escape!”

“Don’t let a single one escape!”

The spirits chased the fleeing werewolves to the end.

The Nord warriors also began to run.

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

The Nord warriors and Nord spirits, who were shouting in unison, chased after the werewolves and made eye contact.

“Oh! Lawrence, you’re alive?!”

“Hayson! Didn’t you fall into the sea and die during the constellation of the sea?!”

“Haha! I did drown. But the constellation-nim [a term of respect for a constellation] took me out of the underworld!”

“Goodness gracious!”

The Nord warriors burned with fighting spirit as they saw familiar faces.

Even bringing the dead back to the present world!

“Indeed, the constellation-nim is different!”

“We’ll be roaming the battlefield together again!”

The Nord warriors, who met their old friends, raised the corners of their mouths.

Death is not the end.

You can become a spirit like that and rejoin the battlefield!

This must be Loki-nim’s blessing!

“Let’s go!”

“Ooooo! Glory to Asgard!”

The Nord warriors and Nord spirits hunted the werewolves.

“…Honey.”

Catherine took a step back.

‘I was foolish.’

With this body, with this beast’s instinct and eyes that could see through living things, I thought I could bring down Asgard under the dark night sky.

And I thought I could rescue the Holy Emperor Palas from the clutches of those demons.

But it wasn’t.

Night was rather their domain.

“I’m leaving.”

“Catherine. Where are you going? I’ll protect you-”

“You really love me, don’t you? Thank you. So.”

Catherine opened her mouth and bit Keltel’s neck.

“Please stop them for me.”

Tearing off the flesh, Catherine moved her feet.

She grabbed the wall of the mansion, jumped up, and escaped to the rooftop.

“Cough-!”

The Keltel Lord staggered, grabbing his neck, and collapsed from the balcony.

His body convulsed.

His skin was torn, his mouth lengthened, and he began to transform into a wolf.

“…That was right. The Keltel Lord’s wife was a werewolf.”

The werewolf Keltel Lord turned his head.

A man in jet-black armor was squatting on the balcony railing with a golden spear on his shoulder.

Keltel’s eyes widened.

Jet-black armor, a ram’s bone helmet.

The constellation of the end, who was said to be missing!

He knew that the Asgard subjugation team, which he had treated as bandits, was led by a fraud impersonating the constellation of the end.

Because he had faced him every time he went out as a subjugation force.

But he didn’t feel anything from that fake.

But the one in front of him was different.

He felt an overwhelming sense of pressure that crushed his entire body.

The beast’s instinct was telling him that the being in front of him was an existence that far surpassed the unit of living things.

If he faced him, he would die.

He knew that.

But-.

“Catherine! I, Keltel, for you-!”

For his wife-!

The Keltel Lord opened his mouth and lunged at Loki, and Loki rotated his wrist and stabbed his spear.

The golden spear was thrust through the Keltel Lord’s throat.

Passing through his throat, it pierced his organs.

And it penetrated his body and burst out.

Loki rotated his wrist again.

At that, the spear rotated intensely once, and the surrounding air expanded and exploded.

Bang-!

The impact caused Keltel’s body to explode, and flesh splattered everywhere.

Loki put the spear on his shoulder and raised his head.

His red eyes turned blue.

Beast footprints were imprinted on the wall of the mansion.

Loki, who had cast a tracking spell, began to chase Catherine, the culprit of this incident.
