As Daisuke delved deeper into the forbidden territory, Asuka's eyes fluttered open, and she recognized the familiar sight of her house's roof and sturdy walls. A soft sigh reached her ears, and she turned her gaze to find her sister Aya peacefully asleep beside her. Seeing Aya unharmed brought relief, but Asuka knew she couldn't stay idle. With effort, she attempted to rise from her bed, only to be met with a sharp pang of pain in her shoulder. Examining the source, she noticed the area was now tightly bound with several strips of white tape extending from her shoulder down to her chest. Suddenly, the memories flooded back— the Jinro attack, Daisuke's valiant defense, and the chilling image of a werewolf almost sinking its teeth into her shoulder. Her hand instinctively reached for the spot, confirming her recollection as she felt the swelling beneath the bandages. A voice broke the silence, emanating from the doorway of the house. "You're awake," it exclaimed. "Thank the heavens! I
Leaving the corpses of the Omega mercenaries behind, Daisuke sprinted forward, now covered in their blood. If not for the system's ability to restore lost strength and health with each damage he inflicted, he would have naturally been exhausted by now.He ran through the forest, heading towards the next concentrated area teeming with packs of Beta Jinro led by Alphas. Soon after, he ventured into restricted territory, and a Beta Jinro emerged from hiding, lunging straight at Daisuke. He skillfully parried the attack and countered by unleashing his blade, driving it through the wolf's skull.Another Jinro approached from behind, growling with drool hanging from its mouth. Daisuke swiftly lunged back, thrusting both blades deep into its chest before pinning it to the ground.As multiple wolves charged towards him, Daisuke didn't hesitate. He lunged back at them, parrying the bite of one and retaliating by piercing its eye, penetrating deep into the skull. With a swift motion, he withdrew
Daisuke parried an Alpha's swing, countering with a powerful blow. His hand weapon tore into the monster's flesh, eliciting a screech.Repeatedly, Daisuke parried and punched until the Alpha was weakened. The fallen Alpha sighed heavily while Daisuke stood above, panting.Around them lay corpses of Beta werewolves from the Alpha's pack. The fight had cleared the surrounding forest. The injured Alpha still glared rebelliously, growling softly.In an instant, Daisuke plunged his blades into the werewolf's chest and withdrew them, causing profuse bleeding. The Jinro writhed, clutching its throat on the ground.Meanwhile, Daisuke's injuries began to heal, his breathing returning to normal. Within minutes, all signs of exhaustion vanished, and he felt as vital as when the mission began."Damn," he thought, "this is my eighth defeated Alpha. Hopefully, the last one."The sudden and unnatural way the system eliminated his fatigue was still unfamiliar to him. One moment he would be tired and i
Daisuke charged forward with determination, plunging headlong into the approaching swarm of Alphas. With his blades gripped tightly, he skillfully slashed and cut through their flesh, relentless in his assault. A sudden instinct warned him of an Alpha attempting to tackle him from behind, but he reacted swiftly, swiftly spinning around in a fluid motion. As a result, the Jinro was sent flying in the direction of his spin, unable to halt his momentum.Harnessing his power, Daisuke executed a swift decapitation of one Alpha and swiftly stabbed another that approached from the side. Spinning once more, he continued his onslaught, tearing through flesh and muscle with fierce determination. However, a deep slash across his back caused him to let out a resounding scream of pain. Undeterred, he countered by impaling the assailant's head with one of his blades. Yet, before he could retrieve his weapon, another Alpha seized him from behind, firmly dragging him down as he struggled to rise.Hel
Daisuke fought with unwavering determination, driven to bring an end to the raid once and for all. However, Kurai took pleasure in prolonging the battle, relishing in sadistic enjoyment.Kurai seemed to believe that over time, Daisuke would grow exhausted, creating an opportunity for him to strike back. With every swing of Daisuke's blades, Kurai effortlessly evaded, displaying swift and precise movements that prevented Daisuke from landing even a scratch.The skirmish resembled a master challenging a novice, with Kurai clearly reveling in the experience while Daisuke's frustration continued to mount.To emphasize his superiority, Kurai didn't even need to resort to all fours; he stood on two legs, engaging in combat at a fraction of his true strength.After several parries and evasions, Kurai finally countered by striking Daisuke across the face. The blow was swift and forceful, sending Daisuke flying several feet away with a deep, blo
"Tonight might just be your lucky night," the system said to Daisuke, who was now feeling confused by its words."You now have a whole minute," the system informed Daisuke.Daisuke smiled and asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" He swiftly moved towards the beast standing before him and attacked with incredible speed, inflicting multiple injuries on the Jinro. The creature screamed in agony as blood poured out from various wounds.The Jinro tried to catch Daisuke with his arms, desperately attempting to harm the young man. But Daisuke skillfully evaded every move, parrying and cutting the Jinro's body repeatedly.Finally, Daisuke placed both blades at the sides of the Jinro's neck, causing blood to spill profusely as the beast fell to the ground. Daisuke stood triumphantly over the defeated Jinro.He pulled out his blades from the Jinro's neck, and the beast writhed and struggled, choking on its own blood. With one last look
Daisuke spoke up, expressing a belief that went against common assumptions. He claimed that despite what others might think, each person possesses a soul. Rachel, skeptical of Daisuke's assertion, questioned his understanding of her own self and criticized his potential ignorance. Daisuke clarified that he was merely expressing his personal belief, acknowledging the possibility of being mistaken. Rachel disagreed with his perspective, but to foster cooperation, she agreed to refrain from dissuading him from viewing her as an individual.Daisuke then explained that he had intentionally given Rachel the appearance of his late mother to ensure he took her seriously. Regretful of not heeding his mother's advice in the past, he sought to make amends, even though she had passed away before he realized his folly. Rachel consented to this arrangement if it facilitated better communication.Observing Rachel's repetition of her point, Daisuke inferred her stance on lacking a soul. He suggested
Aya pulled back from Kaori, wiping away the tears in her eyes as she recognized Daisuke. He appeared worn-out, but there were no visible injuries on him. The room filled with the scent of fur, blood, and sweat as he entered. However, her sister seemed unfazed as she clung to him, slowly easing herself away after a long embrace.Now facing each other, an unexpected joke escaped Daisuke's lips."So, should we kiss now?" he asked, immediately regretting his words.To his surprise, she quickly planted a kiss on his lips, causing his eyes to widen.Noticing his reaction, she raised an eyebrow. "Oh my!" she exclaimed, as Daisuke's face turned red. "That was your first time, wasn't it?""Please stop teasing him," Aya interjected. "Can't you see he needs some rest? And can't you see your shoulder is bleeding again?""You fool!" Kaori yelled. "You reopened your injury!"Asuka noticed that the bandages around Kaori's shoulder
