Werewolf Leveling: Building the Strongest Pack in the Apocalypse Chapter 236: Secret Weapon

As I dashed through the streets on four legs, the first place I went was where the battle was thickest. Most of the vampires had co forth for an all-out assault. Most of the vampires had co together for one final push through.

The ghouls and the vampires from the Sun Clan were fighting them off while the lamias circled around them for a pincer attack. Seeing this, I couldn’t help but feel a bit proud. We had done a good job training them.

I suppressed my bloodlust so they wouldn’t know I was coming. I attacked from the shadows. The first vampire I ca across was fighting against a lamia who was holding a spear. He dodged the lamia’s attacks, then appeared behind her, his claws poised to end the lamia’s life, but at the last second, I rushed in and ripped out his throat.

"Alpha, thank you," the lamia thanked , but just then another vampire rushed towards us.

This lamia was a young male. The mont he saw the vampire, he stepped into the path of the attack as if to shield . It was a noble effort but an unnecessary one. I leaped over the lamia’s head and landed down on the vampire rushing at us.

Holding the vampire down with my claws, I used my fangs to rip his head off, but with my strength, I ended up ripping off his upper body instead. I then blitzed through the battlefield, killing the vampires before they could even react.

Soon, all the vampires were huddled up in a circle with surrounding them. Every ti a vampire would break from that circle and run, I would kill them instantly. My pack mbers stood off to the side and watched handle them.

They knew my presence ant that I had won against Cassian, and just seeing caused them to smile boastfully. So were cheering. The vampires understood what this ant. They also couldn’t feel his overbearing bloodlust anymore. They were panicking while huddled together like a herd of deer being cornered by a predator.

I circled around them, watching their every move intensely. A lot were fearful, but I think most were just wary of the giant wolf in front of them. They knew what would happen if they tried to run, so instead, they just stood their ground, preparing for an attack.

They weren’t a bad group. Cassian had done a good job training them, in fact. They seed disciplined, and they were also powerful. I’ll offer them the sa choice I gave to the others.

Just then, I spotted Sylvie, Isabella, and Kumo joining the scene.

I then transford back into a human. When I did, their expressions imdiately changed. I saw on their faces that a few were contemplating whether to make a run for it, but none of them moved.

"I’ll give you the sa choice that I gave the others. You can either join my pack or et your end right here and now. The choice is yours."

I didn’t expect all of them to join . I could see in their eyes that most were loyal to their clan and wouldn’t be swayed no matter what. I thought I could’ve convinced most of them, but it looks as if I was wrong. It was admirable in a way.

In the end, only a third of them decided to join my pack, while the others that didn’t, I let my pack handle it. Since the city was destroyed, the other mbers of my pack whom I hid away in the labyrinth had to stay there for now, but I would be working on a better place for us to live.

I was practically a noble now, one of the few people who rule over this city. I don’t know how long it will last, so I’ll make the most of it for now. I wonder how the city will take this news. My pack, on the other hand, seed excited by this news.

"Darling."

Just then, the girls rushed over to .

"Sylvie, Isabella, Kumo, glad to see you’re all safe," I said, but for so reason, I got the feeling they were all worried about sothing.

"It’s Selthia. We tried searching for her, but we couldn’t find anything," Isabella hastily said.

Later that night, I sat in my room holding Cassian’s heart in my hand. Thankfully, the girls’ and my living quarters weren’t destroyed. Sohow, it still felt alive in my grasp. Without wasting another second, I sank my teeth into it and began eating.

[Congratulations, you have ascended to level 50]

I imdiately felt my body strengthening. It was a warm sensation—one that I never felt in a while. If I was a human, this was the stage in which I would’ve reached my second evolution, and if I was a demon like Khalissi, I would’ve had my first evolution.

[Ding, you have unlocked the skill, Demon Lord.

Skill Description: All mbers of your pack will forfeit 30% of their EXP over to you upon killing.]

My eyes widened as I stared at the glowing screen in front of . This was the first ti in a while in which I had unlocked a skill. I almost forgot what it felt like.

And it was a skill to collect more EXP at that. It couldn’t have been any more perfect. Though I did find it suspicious that the na of the skill had the word ’Demon’ in it.

Knock knock.

Just then, I heard a knock on the door, and I pried my eyes away from the screen in front of . I then got up from my place on the bed and opened the door to see who was outside. I opened the door to see it was one of the girls.

Their expressions told they weren’t happy. They seed worried about sothing.

"We need to talk," she said, barging into the room.

I closed the door behind her as she stepped in.

"Is sothing the matter?"

"Yes... Maybe... I don’t know."

She took a seat on my bed, but as if feeling uncomfortable, she jumped to her feet. She began biting her nails while pacing up and down.

"Calm down, tell what’s the matter."

"No, I can’t. I... I don’t know what to do."

She was spiraling, pacing up and down, so I grabbed her and pulled her in for a hug to comfort her. She seed to lt in my arms when I grabbed her, and soon, I saw a single drop of tears roll down her eyes. I began stroking her hair tenderly.

"Just tell what’s the matter. We’ll figure it out together, Isabella."

Isabella took a deep breath and nodded her head. Her face turned stern as if she had made up her mind about sothing.

"No, it’s nothing. I was just being a silly emotional vampire. Never mind ."

Saying that, she practically stord out of my room before I could stop her. The whole thing left in a bit of a daze.

’What was that about?’ I couldn’t help but wonder.

...

The news of Cassian’s death spread quickly throughout the city. Most were shocked upon hearing it. They couldn’t help but feel worried about the future of their city, but then they heard another piece of news.

One they could hardly believe. They heard that a werewolf would be taking his place. Of course, most didn’t know the circumstances surrounding this, so they were left feeling worried. They knew what happened last ti during the great war. They knew the power the vampires held, so for one to be killed, what power could the one who killed him hold?

They were further shocked that this person was a werewolf—the race that was ostracized and kicked out of Purgatory. How could one of them rule over Purgatory?

When the news hit, one person could hardly contain their joy. That person was, of course, Aphrodite. She skipped around her mansion happily, a leash in her right hand. Attached to the leash was Ember, crawling like a dog on the ground behind her.

Aphrodite wore a beautiful smile on her face as she greeted all her servants. She made her way to her sister’s study and, without knocking, shoved the door open. There, she saw her sister, the witch of lust, sitting behind her desk with a newspaper in hand.

This newspaper was, of course, the one detailing Cassian’s death. The witch of greed had read the paper over a hundred tis, and every ti she did, she had to pinch herself to make sure she wasn’t dreaming.

’Cassian is dead? He was killed by a werewolf?’

No matter how many tis she read those words, she just couldn’t believe it.

"Sister, have you heard the news? We are one step closer," Aphrodite said cheerfully as she wrapped her arms around her sister from behind.

"Yes, I have, but are we sure this is real? What if it’s a fake?"

"Not to worry, I’ve already confird the accuracy of the paper with Damian. He was as dry as ever and wouldn’t give any details, but he said it was real." Aphrodite’s smile seed to grow wider and more ominous as she spoke. "Do you know what that ans, sister?"

The witch of greed nodded her head. She knew exactly what it ant. It was the secret weapon she and her sister were preparing, the weapon that would conquer this city.

"Don’t worry, the spell is already completed."
