Chapter 31 : You Shouldn't Try to Bite the Hand That Feeds You
‘That’s…’
Each and every part of the human body pulsed as if it had a will of its own.
It was a bizarre scene that made one frown.
Even in the world of FP, where all sorts of monsters ran rampant, something like that did not fall into the category of an ability.
There were monsters with three lives, but there was no ability to make the body expand and contract at will.
Ёn̊ûm̀ ä
That was not a congenital ability, but an artificial phenomenon.
I was sure of this because I had faced an enemy that caused such a change.

[The World Tree strongly expresses its will, saying that’s it.]
The World Tree pricked up its leaves as if pointing a finger.
‘The spirit’s cocoon.’
It was the moment I was sure that Greenwood’s request was related to spirits.

“Keljid!”
Hella shouted with bloodshot eyes.
It was Waver who stopped her, who seemed about to jump in at any moment.
“Ah, why! That bastard did that to Keljid…!”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“I’m not not angry either. I agree with killing that bastard.”
The voice, which had been playful all along, was eerie.
Е̃ṅ ūm̈ á_
Keljid was not a member of the same mercenary group, but a collaborating mage dispatched from the Magic Tower.
But when she first introduced him, Hella had introduced him as a member of the mercenary group.
It meant that she had grown fond of him.
Unlike the individualistic contract killers, mercenaries had a sense of camaraderie.
So much so that even if they succeeded in their mission, if a colleague died, they would decide to take revenge.
“But you have to ask for permission. This is our mercenary group’s business. Isn’t that right?”

Waver looked at me and then gestured behind him with his chin.
“The mission is over, so go and report.”
“What about you two?”
“We’ll follow after we kill that bastard.”
As expected.
I shook my head.
Е̊ň u̇ m а ._і̊ d̄
“Are you telling me to walk all the way to District 3 without any transportation?”
“Hey, give me the keys.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“I was just saying.”
The sly man didn’t even get the joke.
It meant that the blood had rushed to his head.
“I’m the one who missed him. I’ll help you.”
E̊ n̆ um̈ å
The spirit’s cocoon was dwelling in the guy’s body.
Even if Hella and Waver had left, I would have had to face the guy alone.
If we could fight together, then this was an opportunity.
“...Hehehe, you tear-to-pieces couple. Do you think I’m some kind of snack you can just pull out of your pocket and eat?”

The team leader, who had heard the story, shrugged his shoulders and laughed.
The moment his swollen body shook, it was as if a house was shaking.
W̃ е b́ n о̃ v́е́ l̀ Е̄ǹ ŭ m.а
The vertically slit pupils took in each member of the group one by one.
“I said I wouldn’t miss a single one. Even if you don’t rush me, I’ll give you all a taste of hell.”
“It seems you’ve erased what I did to you from your memory.”
“I was just careless.”
A sneer formed on my face without me even trying.
“There’s no end to your excuses. What are you going to do on your own without any subordinates?”
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
“You can confirm whether it’s an excuse or not with your own body.”
The team leader wasn’t a sentimental person who would listen to our conversation.
He probably needed time.
Time to control his changed body.
Whoosh!
It was the blink of an eye before the guy’s new form rushed in.
Е̊n.um̃_а̄
The muscles of his thighs tensed, and his soles pushed off the ground. A series of movements were made in an instant.
“Where!”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Clang!
Hella blocked the guy’s new form that had rushed at me.
The spear blade, which had moved in the shortest trajectory, seemed to have split and occupied several directions at the same time.
At that threatening and efficient move, the guy controlled the acceleration of his body and stopped.
We b̂n̊ оv̀ӗ l̈ Ēǹ u̇ m а́
Swish!
And Waver’s reinforcement followed like flowing water.
A short dagger dug in, filling the gaps in the trajectory of the large spear.
It was a skilled move that accurately pierced the gap.

Hella was also an excellent warrior, but Waver had accumulated experience on top of that.
Even if they hadn't promised each other, it was a joint attack that was carried out as if it were ingrained in their bodies.
É n̊um̀ а̄
The true power of the Drexier mercenary group.
Crunch!
“...!”
“Tsk!”
The enemy did not counterattack with a mysterious movement.
The sharp trajectory that had pierced all the vital points was shattered by a fierce foot stomp and a single hand gesture.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
It was as exhilarating and unrestrained as a tank neutralizing a defensive line.
Hella and Waver, with that one unyielding movement, spat out all the advantages of the offense and defense they had painstakingly gained and retreated.
‘Amplification of physical abilities.’
It was an ability that used the spirit’s cocoon embedded in the body.
‘A mere goblin destroyed a building due to its size.’
Quadruple was equivalent to a trained soldier.
W е̌ b̄nо̀ v ẽ_l. Еnù_m̃ а̊
The effectiveness of the biochip was by no means comparable to that of a mere goblin.
‘Has the stability also increased?’
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
It was different from before, when it had flowed like a liquid, unable to control its expansion.
Although it expanded like a seizure from time to time, it was basically compressed and maintained a normal body shape.
Anyway, if Centrim was the mastermind behind the spirit’s cocoon… there must have been some development in the meantime.
The capital and capabilities of a mega-corp were infinite.
W è bn о v̂ē l. Е̌ n u m̃ â
Clash!
The clash of the superhumans changed the environment with just its aftermath.
The wall, swept away by the scattered fragments of mana, was shattered, and the earth’s crust was split.
The menacing murderous intent carried by the wind was so sharp that it felt like it would cut my skin if it brushed against me.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
I couldn't intervene between them.
It was a battle of wits where even a single footstep was a move to occupy a position, and even their breathing was thoroughly calculated to aim for each other's gaps.
W è b̈ ńӧ v̊ẽl̃ Е̊n̈ú mа
With mediocre skills, I would only be a hindrance.
It was that high-level of a battle.
Clang!
“Waver!”
“Don’t mind me!”
So it was the weapon that showed its limit first.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Waver’s dagger, which couldn't withstand the impact of the clash, broke.
Although he quickly pulled out a new dagger and continued the offensive, it was inevitable that a gap would be created.
Swish!
The hand gesture that was raised upwards split Waver’s chest.
Even the protective suit he was wearing underneath was torn like a piece of paper.
Even though it was a hand-blade made by raising the side of his hand, a flash of light flickered.
Ӗ ñůṁ а̄.іd
Waver’s body, which had been hit in the chest by the enemy’s foot, bounced on the ground several times and rolled.
Swoosh!
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
As if to fill Waver’s gap, Hella desperately swung her spear.
It was a wave of attacks where two people were facing one.
Although she fought without caring for her own body and filled the gap, the breakdown soon came.
Thud!
Ѐn̄ u m а . i d
“Keok!”
A shockwave spread out in a concentric circle from the point of impact, flipping the earth’s crust.
Hella flew through the air like a kite with a broken string and then stopped only after being embedded in a stone wall.
The fact that she couldn't get up right away meant her condition was not good.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Although it wasn't a detail that would kill her if left alone, she was incapacitated.
I was the only one left.
Ė n̆ um̀ а. і̌ d̄
The guy growled, revealing his sharp fangs.
“Did you get to watch as much as you wanted? Now it’s your turn. Tremble and wait.”
It was a voice that was so steeped in murderous intent that it resembled the cry of a beast.
Should I say it was Quadruple, as expected?
On top of a solid foundation, the spirit’s cocoon gave him strength, and he boasted an aura that was reminiscent of a veteran warrior.
And… the identity of the guy I had analyzed made me understand his strength.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“I see, I was wondering what kind of guy you were.”
I leisurely began to speak.
The five scars on Waver’s chest, the vertically slit pupils, the lengthening of the philtrum and the voice that was becoming like that of a beast, apart from the expansion of the muscles.
The hints were sufficient.
“So you were a werebeast.”
A beast-man who had the genes of a beast and could change their body.
Е̊ ǹu mа
That was the guy’s identity.
“Hehe, so? Are you suddenly scared?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“No.”
The werebeast, with its beastly body and instincts, was ranked among the most dangerous of the many immigrant races in FP.
Even setting aside their claws and feet, which were comparable to a treasured sword, the guys with the dense muscles and swift agility peculiar to a wild beast were weapons in their entirety.
They were even warriors who could handle mana innately.
Ėn̄ú.ḿa
Since their innate talent was like that, they were high-class talents who would be welcomed with open arms wherever they went in related professions.
“A person doesn’t need to be afraid of a mere beast. Isn’t it just a dog that will drool and get distracted if you throw it a snack?”
“……”
The guy’s mouth closed.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
A dark red blood spread in his yellow pupils, as if a capillary had burst.
The guy growled, revealing his sharp fangs.
Ẅе̄b̊nǒ vé l̂ Е ṅù mа
“...I’ll chew you alive.”
“How vulgar, just like a beast. Shut your stinking mouth.”
Antagonizing a werebeast was the worst choice.
Because, like their beastly lineage, the guys were persistent and strong.
Nevertheless, the reason I continued to provoke him was a sign of my confidence.
‘I’ve fought with werebeasts countless times.’
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Although their numbers were small, they always showed up in important scenarios because of their reputation.
I had enough experience.
I was also familiar with the attack patterns.
‘And it’s not even a pureblood, but a mongrel.’
Pureblood werebeasts were so rare that they were close to extinction, and they knew how to control their beastly instincts with reason.
On the other hand, the guy was controlling himself so that he wouldn't transform.
Е num̄а̇
He was worried that he couldn't properly handle the beast's body due to his degraded lineage.
My provocation was aimed at this.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
What was difficult to deal with was a warrior who handled mana, not a beast that was faithful to its instincts.
“You shouldn’t try to bite the hand that feeds you after kneeling to a bat that sucks human blood and lives as a parasite.”
“...!”
The confrontation between vampires and werebeasts was widely known information.
Ё ǹūm а̀ . і d̆
The winner was the vampire.
The beast could not defeat the vampire who acted like a noble and handled money and power.
That vampire was designated as a monster due to the agreement of the leaders of each city who felt threatened, and was now in hiding in the shadows.
But it was impossible for the werebeast to erase the inferiority complex and humiliation they felt towards the vampire.

I pointed out the shameful history of the race.
The enemy could not suppress his rising anger and transformed into a complete beast.
Еn ům̌ а
─Roar!
A roar that I couldn't tell if it was a dog or a tiger.
It was proof that his lineage had degraded that much.
The guy rushed at me.
Thud, thud, thud!
The quadrupedal gait was more natural and faster than the bipedal gait.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Perhaps even Hella or Waver couldn't have stopped that rush.
I looked down at it with indifference.
A beast is simple.
The trajectory of the guy's rush was now visible even to my eyes.
It meant that it was easy to set a trap.
Crunch!
Wé ḃ n ó vё ĺ Е̊ n̂ ǔm̂а.
The World Tree's stem that had shot up from the ground grabbed the guy's ankle and hung on.
The guy struggled, but the elastic stem did not break.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
But it didn't stop the guy.
The guy dragged the stem that was holding his ankle and came right in front of me.
‘He’s aiming for the neck.’
The werebeast, like a beast, only aimed for the vital points in a hunt.
Wеbǹóv e l Ӗ_ńǔ mа̂
The unguarded neck was the most delicious vital point.
Snap!
The sound of teeth clashing in the air rang in my ears.
The beastly stench hit me.

I could feel a chilling murderous intent in the gaze that was soon directed at me.
As if he were displeased that I had dodged, the guy trembled with displeasure and thrust his hand towards my heart.
W̄ebńо̇ v е̇ l Е̄n̄ ǔm̄ а
Rip!
The beast's mouth was torn deep on both sides.
The feel of the blow in my hand.
He must have thought he had killed me since he had stabbed my heart with his claws.
The beast, whose reason had flown away, could not distinguish that it was a misunderstanding.
Rip!
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
The guy's mouth opened wide, up and down.
He was trying to fulfill his words of chewing me alive before I died.
Crunch!
The beast bit into the flesh of its prey.
It chewed and chewed with its sharp teeth, cutting the artery and tearing the wound to shreds.
It was an instinctive movement to end the prey's life in an instant.
Èn̈ ü m ӑ
“...?”
But what burst out instead of the fountain of blood that the beast had expected was finely ground sawdust, at best, sap.

A small question filled the yellow pupils that were already filled with only instinct.
Crack!
Lignification.
What the guy had chewed on was not my neck, but tree bark.
Е̃ nu ṁа̄ . і̌d
Of course, it hadn't completely withstood the werebeast's bite force.
The guy's fangs had pierced the tree bark and stabbed my muscles.
And that was enough to achieve my goal.
It was not a fatal wound that would stop my movements.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“The limits of a beast are clear.”
It was a trick I had already experienced once.
Е̃n̊ û ḿ а . і d́
Nevertheless, the guy had thrown himself at me without considering it.
Now it was time to pay the price for his carelessness.
“Your movements are so predictable.”
After the neck, the heart.
It was the typical attack pattern of a werebeast that had been consumed by instinct.
Normally, I would have had to dodge the subsequent patterns and aim for his stamina to be depleted, but I didn't.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Because if I could just block it once, I could get close to him and aim for his vital points.
“They say a beating is the best medicine for a disobedient beast.”
Squeeze!
The whip stem restrained the guy's body like a snake strangling its prey.
Carelessness that it was over, the rebound of the body, the confusion due to the lowered intelligence.
The guy couldn't escape the restraint efficiently and just struggled like a beast.
Е̄nù m ӑ.їd́
Click!
The muzzle aimed at his temple.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
The vital point of a living creature that was directly connected to the brain.
At such a close distance, even aiming was unnecessary.
He could never dodge it.
“W-with just that, you…!”
W̆е̇ b ǹ о̀v ë l Е̊ n u m̈ă
Was a mere pistol his last resort?
The guy sneered at me with his last remaining reason.
He was trusting the tough hide of a werebeast.
Their tough hide was at a level that could even block a rifle.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
A mere pistol could not even come close.
Vrooom!
Е̃ ñuṁ а. іd.
“...!”
Of course, that was when it was a normal pistol bullet.
The muzzle of the Hastok-400 was emitting a blinding light.
It was the light of the mana that had leaked from the magic circle engraved on the loaded bullet.
Destructive power enhancement, penetration enhancement, acceleration, shockwave emission.
It was a bullet with a quadruple-layered magic.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
A masterpiece created by a future great mage who had fully blossomed her talent.
It was the move of faith that I had been confident in.
“Die.”
Bang!
The gunshot, which was close to a cannon shot, even affected me.
I stepped back a few steps due to the recoil.
Е̊n ǔ mа̄ . і̂ d̆
It felt like my shoulder was going to dislocate.
My ears were ringing, and my vision flickered and went out.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Whoosh! Thud!
A hot wind swept past my face.
I tidied up my floating hair.
Just the recoil had this much impact.
Ẃ е bñ о̌v̂е̂ l Е n ů ḿа̀
The werebeast that had been hit directly didn't just have its temple pierced, but its head was crushed.
The guy's body, which had not even a trace of its head left, swayed as if drunk and then soon collapsed.
Thud, thud! Hiss!
The burst of blood drops poured down like rain.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Then, it soon evaporated and turned into vapor, soaking my body.
[The World Tree trembles at the formidable power.]
E n̈ ũ ṁà
It was a cruel scene for a child to witness directly.
But for me, it was a satisfactory result.
‘Have my skills improved to a certain level?’
My skills, which had grown in a short period of time, had even worked on a werebeast.
It was an encouraging thing.
‘And…’

[The World Tree turns over the enemy’s body.]
As if it had gotten used to it after doing it once, the World Tree quickly took out the contents from the guy’s body.
[The Spirit’s Cocoon has been recovered.]
[The World Tree’s energy stimulates the Spirit’s Cocoon.]
[The Spirit’s Cocoon hatches.]
What the guy had in his body was not a fragment, but a complete cocoon.
W ӗbno.v̂е̃ l̀ È ñ uma
As expected, a circuit like a human blood vessel was running across the surface, and the World Tree tore it off.
Soon, the center of the cocoon split open and a spirit was born.

Whoosh!
The liberated spirit emitted light.
The guys, who had danced as if sharing the joy of being awakened, seeped into the ground.
The scene that followed was the same as in District 7.
En̈ ûm а.і̂ ď
Plants sprouted, and life was imbued in the great nature.
It was a moving scene that did not fade even when seen again.
Above the magnificent view that had bloomed in an instant and then soon withered, a system message appeared.
[The resurrected group of spirits returns to the great nature!]

[The great nature in the nearby area recovers its vitality!]
[Your Nature Affinity increases!]

[The spirit returns to the embrace of the World Tree!]
[The World Tree grows!]
After the same familiar message as before, one was added.
[The World Tree has met some of the conditions to grow into a sapling!]
