Under the shroud of night, clouds cloaked the sky, obscuring the moon, with only a faint twinkling of stars visible.
However, danger was stealthily encroaching on Saint Light, and more specifically, on its lively, bustling square.
Within the dark clouds and among the starlight, silhouettes of werewolves, with wings as wide as bats, were quietly drawing nearer to Saint Light.
Amidst the clouds, one could spot a particularly large werewolf
This werewolf was the sole survivor and leader from last night’s encounter who had managed to escape with his life.
It was because of this leader that the larger werewolf den had learned of Gilmore and his team’s elimination of dozens of their kind.
In response, the sub–chief of the den immediately dispatched several strong mid–level leaders to accompany the surviving lower leader back to Saint Light, intent on exacting revenge on Gilmore and his group.
The lesser leader looked towards the four mid–level leaders flying beside him and said, “Esteemed leaders, the humans we encountered last night were exceedingly strong.
“Please exercise extra caution.”
The four mid–level leaders‘ eyes gleamed with haughty disdain.
They scoffed at the lesser leader, “Hmph, Cony, it’s only because you lack strength that you couldn’t handle a few mere humans.”
“Indeed, and now you’ve dragged us four mid–leaders out here.
“I’m quite busy, to have my time wasted on a small city with scant spoils is truly infuriating.”
It was clear, without a doubt, that the four mid–level werewolf leaders were greatly dissatisfied with the lesser leader known as Cony.
With a meek nod, Cony acknowledged, “The leaders speak the truth, it’s all my fault.”
Then, the four mid–level werewolf leaders, leading a large group of their kind, approached Saint Light from above.
“Eh? What’s going on here?” As they flew over Saint Light, the four mid–level leaders immediately sensed something was
amiss.
“People… on the square below?”
“And so many of them!”
The grand square below was teeming with people, their laughter and music reaching the skies, making it impossible for the four mid–level werewolf leaders not to notice the commotion.
It wasn’t just the mid–level leaders. Cony and the rest of the thousand–strong werewolf pack also spotted the crowd on the
square Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Sizzle!
Drool began to escape the mouths of all the werewolves.
But soon enough, they realized and hastily slurped it back in.
The eyes of the four werewolf leaders sparkled with excitement they had assumed that their trip to Saint Light would be a tedious one with nothing to gain.
To their surprise, upon arrival, they found a grand square teeming with thousands of people a feast waiting for them this very night.
“Abul, we’ve hit the jackpot,” one of the mid–level werewolves remarked to another leader.
Joy flickered in Abul’s eyes as he responded to the other mid–level leader, Karul, “Indeed, we’ve been lucky”
However, at that moment, one of the mid–level leaders becaine cautious, turning to the other three leaders and saying, “Don’t you find this a bit odd?”
Confusion dawned in the eyes of Abul and Karul, as well as the other leader.
“Zaha, what do you find odd?” Abul looked at the mid–level leader and asked.
Zaha replied. “In the past, whenever we patrolled Saint Light, not a soul could be seen.
“So how is it that tonight, out of the blue, there are so many people out and about, gathering in the square to dance and sing?
“Aren’t they afraid of us werewolves launching a sudden attack?
Upon hearing Zaha’s words, the rest of the leaders also started to harbor suspicions.
Indeed, the survivors of Saint Light couldn’t possibly be unaware that werewolves haunted the city every night, hunting for the living.
It was truly suspicious. They didn’t hide but instead gathered openly in the square, reveling and singing with music that
filled the air.
Though the werewolves had the heads of wolves, their intelligence was no different from that of humans.
“Zaha, what do you make of this human gathering? Do you think they’re up to something? Abul asked, looking at Zaha for an explanation.
Zaha nodded, “There must be something fishy going on.”
“But are we just going to stand here, watching them, unable to lay a paw or take a bite?” Karul asked.
“Karul, theoretically, yes, Zaha replied.
“However, if this crowd has no traps and we let them slip away safely, it’s still a big loss for us.
“I have a plan though, a foolproof one.”
The other three werewolf leaders leaned in eagerly. “Zaha, out with it! What’s your foolproof plan?”
Zaha explained, “We’ve only brought about a thousand of our kind.
To be absolutely sure, we can signal the nearby werewolves for reinforcements.”
“While waiting for our backup, we can keep an eye on these humans to see what they’re plotting!”
The other leaders found his advice sensible.
Then, each of them pulled out a green jade bead and began to send out distress signals to the werewolves nearby through
these beads.
About half an hour later, the werewolves hiding in the dark clouds above noticed that people on the square were still joyously singing, with the music continuing non–stop,
This began to convince them that these humans might not have set any traps after all.
“Zaha, it seems like these humans aren’t plotting anything?” All couldn’t help but speak out.
Karul nodded in agreement. “It looks like these humans really don’t take us seriously.”
Hearing the two leaders, Zaha was also puzzled. In theory, humans should be petrified of werewolves.
How could they so boldly ignore the threat of a werewolf attack gathering in the square to sing and dance? They were clearly not giving werewolves any consideration.

While Zaha was still wrapped up in his confusion, Cony approached the four mid–level leaders and said, “Leaders, if I may have a word?”
The four mid–level leaders looked at the cub, and Abul replied coolly, “Speak, Cony. What’s on your
mind?”
Cony spoke up. Leaders, I believe I know why these humans date to gather in the square tonight, singing and dancing without a care in the world.”
Abul prompted, “Well, spit it out. Why?”
“Because last night,” Cony explained, I led a hundred of our kind on patrol around Saint Light, but we were ambushed by a handful of humans. We were slaughtered. I was the only one lucky enough to escape.
“So, these humans think we werewolves have been scared off, that we wouldn’t dare return to Saint Light.
“They believe they’ve reclaimed the city, which is why they’re celebrating in the square, singing and dancing to their hearts‘
content.
The mid–level leaders fell silent upon hearing Cony’s words.
They had to admit, Cony had a point.
They couldn’t think of any other reason why the humans would be partying in the square so freely.
The only explanation seemed to be what Cony had said–they thought that after killing a few dozen werewolves, the rest would be too frightened to come back.
“So be it, Abul’s eyes gleamed with a sharp intensity as he spoke with a chilling tone, “Tonight, we’ll show them just how scared we really are.”
“Heh, just thinking about my fangs sinking into their throats, the agony they’ll feel… It gives me such a thrill,” Karul licked his lips with anticipation.
At that moment, in the clouds above, a formidable sight appeared–three to four thousand werewolves flew in. These reinforcements, having received the signal from the mid–level leaders, had hurried over from nearby.
Leading them were five mid–level leaders, who quickly joined Abul and his cohort.
“Abul, we received your signal and came as fast as we could. Are you in trouble?” one of the newly arrived leader inquired.
“We’ve spotted thousands of humans in the square below Saint Light, reveling without a care. We suspected an ambush, which is why we called for you,” Abul informed him.
The arriving leader glanced at the crowd in the square below and asked, “Then, Abul, have you located their ambush? How
can we assist you?”
“Glar.” Abul replied, “we were just being cautious at first. But in the time before you arrived, we’ve been watching and judging, and we’ve determined these humans have no ambush ser up at all.
Glar couldn’t help but question Abul, “So, Abul, how did you figure out they had no ambush set up?”
Abul relayed the account given by Cony to Glar.
After hearing it, Glar and the other four mid–level leaders who had come to support also felt that the humans gathered in the square below had no ambush prepared.
“What’s our move then, Abul? Do we dive in for the kill?” Glar’s eyes gleamed fiercely as he asked.
Abul turned to look at other leaders like Karul and Zaha, who all nodded in agreement.
It was clear, without a word being said, they were all for a direct assault.
So. Abul declared to Glar, “We attack!”
“Understood!” came the ready response from Glar.
“Attack!!” With Glar’s command that echoed like thunder across the sky, five thousand werewolves burst through the clouds.
In an instant, they swooped down towards the city square like a dense swarm of bats, a furious storm unleashed by their dive cleared the clouds from the sky.
The moon and stars, previously hidden behind the veil of clouds, suddenly appeared above.
And the over ten thousand people gathered in the square looked up to see thousands of werewolves, their wings spread wide. like bats, plummeting towards them.
Panic was written on every face. Even though the music still played from the speakers, many could no longer sing. only screams of terror escaped their lips.
They feared werewolves from the depths of their hearts, and many wanted to flee, but the organizers like Aguilar had briefed them on the night’s plan.
They couldn’t run, or they would meet a quicker end.
So, despite the immense fear gnawing at their insides, making their limbs tremble uncontrollably, they stood their ground, too scared to move a muscle.
As they watched the sky, the five thousand werewolves were rapidly closing in, getting nearer by the second.
They all felt an overwhelming aura of murderous intent pressing down, so suffocating that it felt like their hearts could stop
at any
moment.
Just as the five thousand werewolves in the sky were about 150 feet above the square.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard.
The air vibrated violently.
Suddenly, a shield of light appeared over the square–a towering dome of violet energy, some 150 feet high.
This massive purple light shield enveloped the tens of thousands of people below in an instant.

At that moment, the werewolves diving down at breakneck speed slammed into the huge shield.
Thunderous booms echoed incessantly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The violent impacts caused the shield to crupt in terrifying storms of energy
The werewolves that struck the shield were flung away one after inother, their howls filling the sky.

The few hundred werewolves leading the assault were almost instantaneously repelled by the force of the shield.
While a minority of them crashed to the ground in the distance the majority were flung back into the air, which, in a stroke of ill fortune, collided with their comrades still in descent.
This unfortunate turn of events caused a significant number of casualties among them.
Before even reaching the humans on the square, the werewolve had suffered seven to eight hundred losses.
After the chaos, a semblance of order and calm was restored.
Nine werewolf mid–level leaders and over four thousand of their kin regrouped, forming up and hovering in mid–air.
Chastened by their previous painful lesson, this time they didn’t rush into another attack.
At this moment, it was Cony quickly flew to the nine mid–level alphas and said, “Leaders, last night my troops and I were seriously tripped up by this purple light shield.“
Hearing Cony’s words, the leaders were fuming with anger, “If you had already suffered a setback from the purple light shield, why hadn’t you warned us sooner?
“Why wait until we had lost hundreds of our kin before coming to tell us?”
Abul, one of the werewolf leaders, was livid, his eyes blazing with fire as he sent Cony flying with a fierce slap, his howl of pain disappearing into the night.
Abul’s anger subsided slightly after dispatching Cony with a slap.
“What do we do now?” Glar, another leader, asked the group.
Karul’s eyes gleamed as he proposed, “If we all join forces and attack together, I refuse to believe we can’t bring down that purple light shield.”
Zaha agreed, “Exactly, let’s strike together!”
“Alright, let’s do this together!”
The rest of the leaders were in agreement.
They then channeled their core energy into their hands.
Boom!
As they conjured spheres of green light in their palms, an immense murderous aura filled the air, and a tremendous pressure bore down from above.
Even the people within the purple light shield could clearly feel this terrifying oppression.
In the next instant, the nine werewolf leaders in the sky, their hands glowing with a light so powerful it seemed to
overshadow the heavens, hurled the concentrated green enerj
