1 Hour Later
After dawn had completely arrived, Vorath could finally let out a sigh and think about how he would protect the Village for another day.
"Ahh... Now things have really gotten complicated."
"Tsk, tsk... Now I'll have to spend 24 hours dealing with hordes of damned monsters."
"Or I could hide and let the Village be massacred..."
Vorath said with a bitter expression.
"...That would only buy me a few hours. It's not enough!"
Vorath placed his hand on his chin as he thought about how to resist for 24 hours.
"Vorath?"
The boy at the bottom of the well called out to him, and Vorath answered:
"Yes?"
"I have an idea that might give you some idea."
Vorath smiled.
"Interesting."
After several hours of explanation...
"I understand..." Vorath replied.
"Ah... Actually, I had already thought about that, but from a different point of view. But if it's the way you're saying, it should give us a few hours."
A few hours later...
"Is everything ready?"
"Yes!"
"Then let's start the plan. It's not difficult. It's about making everyone in the Village unconscious and masking the souls of their bodies so that they blend in and make it difficult for the monsters to locate them through their souls..."
Vorath had thought of this, but what the boy pointed out, which was the difference, was that Vorath should take a little bit of the soul of each villager and fuse it with his own soul so that he would stand out above everyone else.
As the saying goes, when an animal sees large prey, there's no reason to hunt a little rat.
Nightfall...
At this moment, Vorath had already completed everything he needed to do. At this moment, he felt completely uncomfortable, as if he were naked in a public square... His soul was larger than normal, and he could feel countless gazes and murderous intentions from millions of miles away.
"Ahh... This is going to be difficult."
As Vorath said this, he suddenly felt a howl reach him. Judging by the sound, he quickly realized that the howl was extremely far away, which made him much more tense than if it had been nearby.
"Shit, that howl... It must be about 3 km away."
And so, Vorath quickly ran back to the well, checking on the child.
She seemed to be sleeping, as if the Village wasn't about to be invaded and the only thing between them and the monsters was the possibility of the plan succeeding.
After Vorath confirmed that the entire Village was unconscious, he ran in the opposite direction from the Village, entering the forest.
"Now it's just you and me... Actually, you guys..."
After Vorath said this, he began to hear heavy footsteps, which made him even more nervous. After all, he was running extremely fast, almost reaching the speed of sound.
Then he looked back and immediately regretted it.
"Shit!! What the hell is that?! Where the hell did this shit come from?! Fuck!!!"
Behind Vorath, approximately 800 meters away, a wolf at least 3 meters tall was chasing him and rapidly getting closer.
But that wasn't what made him curse. It was the fact that it had a long neck that, bizarrely, was continuously stretching, destroying any chance Vorath had of escaping.
And at that moment, the wolf opened its mouth to 120 degrees, turned its head to the side, and was only a few meters away from closing its jaws around Vorath.
At that moment, Vorath jumped an incredible 30 meters into the air and landed on the head of the long-necked wolf. He grabbed his modified weapon and fired at its skull, killing it.
"I almost died."
When Vorath stopped to recover, he couldn't understand anything because his feet weren't touching the ground. Then, using his reflexes, Vorath looked up and saw a gigantic floating eye more than 30 meters above the trees, using some kind of gravity power that was keeping him trapped.
"You've got to be kidding me..."
