Now is the ti to do it!
I stood on the spot while Grandpa Werewolf started to rush toward . Good thing that he's running straight at .
When he started running, I also prepare to charge forward as well. I picked Uncle Spear again to pierce him with it. Then when he got closer, I threw Victoria to his face and have her block his vision for a while.
I didn't use slly gas this ti. I need him to keep moving forward while his vision is blocked.
He keeps charging at even though his vision is blocked. It was thanks to his sense of sll that he knows my position. What he didn't know is that he just passed on the Blobbygun I threw on the ground before. I haven't had Victoria make those Blobbygun disappear yet. It was for this exact mont!
Once I see his body is above the Blobbygun, I opened a small portal in front of . Barely enough to have my arm enters it. And the other portal is right above the Blobbygun, just behind Grandpa Werewolf after he passed it.
I thrusted Uncle Spear into the portal and the spear appear behind Grandpa Werewolf. While Grandpa swung his arm to attack . But he stopped right beside my face. It was because Uncle Spear stabbed him in his heart from behind. Grandpa was surprised that he was suddenly got hit from behind
This is my trump card! Portals!
Good thing I saved my mana. And Grandpa didn't prepare to get hit from the back despite that's the first thing I said before the match begin. Although it was a bit misleading, I did say that this will happen.
Then I released the spear, and kicked it into the portal so the whole spear will co out from the other side, and pierced him deeper in the heart. Once I see the spear entered, I closed the portal.
Grandpa fell forward. This ti, the battle has ended for sure. Although he's still alive, he will die soon. Uncle Spear has pierced his heart. Even with healing magic, he has already injured badly and won't recover.
"Haaaaah- finally, it's over!"
I relieved a sigh as I fall back and lied down on the ground. It was too much. This battle uses everything I have. My body is hurting and my shoulder got bitten. Good thing those wounds can still be closed with healing magic.
"Ugh… so I lost, huh? That was such an interesting match. You are too weak to be compared with other Aura users, but you used strategies to overco your weaknesses. I have no more regret."
Grandpa Werewolf said as he slowly raised his body and sat cross-legged. He's out of strength now for real. And he knows death is coming.
"Grandpa!" Shelia enters the Arena from the audience seat, followed by Red, Jack, and so other Werewolves. They must be the ones closest to Grandpa Werewolf. In the end, he is quite loved by everyone in his tribe.
"Roy!" And I'm also loved by my friends and girlfriends as well. All of them running here looked worried about . I don't even have the strength to sit down, so I just lay on my back while looking at the sky, waiting to be healed.
"Don't shout. Your voice is ringing in my head. Just heal already, the fight is over." I said while still looking at the sky.
Kayla then hurriedly casted a quite powerful healing magic on . It's not an Area Heal, so Grandpa Werewolf were unaffected by it.
I can see that my body is healing. Though the scar might stay for the rest of my life. It's not like I hate scars, so I don't mind if I have it. In fact, it might look cool. Though I still hope the bite marks will disappear.
Thanks to Kayla's heal, I have enough power to sit down now. With the help of Sophie pulling up to a sitting position, I faced Grandpa Werewolf who is in his last breath.
"Well, I guess I won." I said while smiling.
"Yes, you did. Since I'm too old now, there are many moves that I can't do. Though that is just an excuse. A loss is a loss. And even if I'm still in my peak, you would still have other plans to bring down, right?" Grandpa asked.
"Who knows? But if the situation is different, I will refuse to fight and escape as fast as I can. That is always an option for ."
"Hah! Just like my uncle said, fighting a stronger opponent is much easier against a tricky one!" I don't know why he's so proud when he says that. And I think his uncle is a wise Werewolf despite being weak. And that might be the reason why he's proud of his uncle.
"Roy, you really stabbed him with his own uncle from behind. Though that's not what I like to see." Victoria suddenly interjected.
"YOU SHUT UP!" Can't she feel the atmosphere? Soone so loved by many people is dying here.
"You! Healer! Use your healing magic on Grandpa!" Shelia asked Kayla to heal Grandpa Werewolf.
Shelia then quickly left my side and started to cast healing magic on Grandpa Werewolf, but it's not working.
"Don't waste your mana on , young lady. I know when my ti is up." Grandpa Werewolf stopped Kayla on using her magic anymore.
"But Grandpa…"
"It was fun. I had the greatest battle ever on my last day. Shelia, Red, and everyone else. I always said that you are all disappointnt since you are too weak. But the truth is I'm proud of you to be able to live in harmony in the tribe. It's sothing we don't have before my reign as the king. But you all heard what Roy said before. About the incoming war. You all now need to get even stronger than I am! In the coming war, we have to proof everyone that we are the strongest race! From now on, you will follow Roy as your king!" Grandpa Werewolf declared that I'm the Werewolf King from now on.
"Grandpa…"
"This spear… My uncle must be proud to have his own body turned into weapon that ends up used by the Werewolf King. I'll tell you his na as my gift to you." Grandpa said to .
Please not a difficult na, please not a difficult na!
"His na is Reiz. The Weakest Werewolf in the past who aid to be the strongest. With this spear, I hope you will lead the Werewolves toward victory and grant his dream to be the strongest." Grandpa asked to be the strongest.
"Well, I don't know about being the strongest, but I promise you that I will try my best to protect everyone and survive. That's what I'm trying to achieve in this lifeti." I said.
"This lifeti? I see… you're from another tiline. I hope whatever you want to change will change. Farewell… Werewolf King." Grandpa said on his last breath. After that, he closed his eyes and no longer breathing. Though he seems satisfied seeing the expression from his face.
Everyone mourned on his death. The death of the Werewolf King who reigned for over a thousand years. This is the saddest mont on this tribe's history.
After a short mont of silence, Red approached . I'm also trying to stand back up with the help of Candy and Sophie.
"King."
"What is it?"
"The war is coming, right? And we will lose everything if we lost." Red asked.
"Yeah, that's right. And not just you, my world and your world, both will be destroyed by this enemy if we lose. The only option we have is winning."
"I see. Then can you promise us that you will help us to get stronger?"
"What the hell are you talking about? That's obvious, isn't it? I will turn you all into a terrifying army to fight in the war. There should be a few years until war cos, so I will make sure all of you are strong enough to protect the tribe. I'll tell you the detail later, for now, I want to rest." I said.
"That's good. Everyone! Today has finally co for us to greet the new Werewolf King! Don't feel down because we lost the previous king! We need to celebrate because that's what Grandpa wanted! To die peacefully and leave the fate of the tribe to the next strongest person! He might be a human, but he's still the Werewolf King! Our King!"
Red suddenly shouted and told everyone to celebrate. He's a good leader. I'll just leave everything to him like Grandpa did.
After another mont of silence, a Werewolf suddenly howled.
"AWOOOOO!!!"
That was the first one. Then the howls keep coming. All the Werewolf including Shelia and Red howled.
"AWOOOOO!!!"
"AWOOOOO!!!"
After finally everyone stopped howling, all the Werewolves looked at . Is it ti for them to kneel to ? I don't think they have such tradition. Maybe there will be another ceremony to crown the next king.
…
…
Why is everyone just silently looking at ? Don't tell !?
"Cough! A-Awoo?" I copied their howl shyly.
Is it the right answer?
""AWOOOOO!!!""
"AWOOOOO!!!"
It is the right answer!
"Yeah! Awoo! Yeah! Let's Awoo together!"
