She made me into a dog boy...
[Ahem... Wolf boy...]
I would love to focus on this, but suddenly the timer changed to 0, and the entire village was filled with the howling and screaming of ramen.
It was like someone grabbed a cat by the balls and stomped on them...
"Scrreeeee!"
"Damn, that sound is disgusting!" Flora complained as a huge group of Ratmen emerged from the clearing—their target was the south! My eyes seemed even better now, the previous mana vision would make their bodies light up due to the mana used, but now I could see them even without that vision...
In their unholy glory...
Nasty fur, mangy yellow teeth that were rotten and crooked, most of them missing as the new group differed from the ones I knew well...
Their armour wasn't rubbish—or at least if it was, someone had patched it up to look pretty good, and the same for their weapons.
"Let's head to the main gate to the south."
"Otherwise, we might lose contribution points—the big guy is worth far more than the others." Lumia's smart and informative voice helped.
The three of us moved towards the centre, seeing the other 3 parties now gathered, but most looked pretty beat up and dirty while we were fine...
Well, my shirt was off, showing my abs, but those were pretty damn fine!
"Is this all your group?" Suddenly an unwanted handsome guy approached, but I didn't care because he was a dwarf!
I wanted to say out loud, "Ha, and they call it a mine! My cousin.."
[STOP! Copyright!]
Haha, so cute... I wonder if he lives in a mine.
[...]
[You know that the scene in your head from King of the Rings is made up, right?]
Eternia killed my moment of joy meeting a party of four dwarves who began running to the gate with us; how their tiny legs moved so fast made me happy.
"Only 3, and you managed to clear the wave, mustn't be rookies then, aye?" The bearded tank from the dwarf party cut in, speaking to me with a good accent.
"Ah.. well, I'm completely new, but I don't know the others."
"Hahah! Laddie, is that why is yer wearing no shirt? And it's rare to see a wolf beastman with other races—wolves normally don't split from their pack."
The gate was approaching, and so was the Giant Ratman, but it was impolite to ignore him, so I just smiled, "Ah well, somehow I got these after receiving a title and whatnot. I was human, though..."
"Ack... What a bugger—I bet ye were disappointed then, aye?"
"True... but not much I can do, so let's enjoy it."
I no longer focused on the Dwarf because the Giant rat was, as they labelled it, over 3 metres tall, maybe more?
Yet it moved like a normal Ratman, dashing towards the village with the Ratmen Warriors surrounding him, causing the ground to shudder and quake from their combined weight.
Eternia, how should I fight something so huge?
[Just be yourself, but don't attack from the front and attack from its flank and rear]
Okay, thanks...
My feet rushed forward but stopped because I wasn't alone this time—looking back, I saw both Lumia and Flora, who were just behind me, flashing a smile as they finally caught up and slapped my back with their palms as they stopped a few steps later.
"What's the plan then, Flo~," Lumia asked, her hair swaying from the breeze and her rushed steps.
"Hmmm... should we let the other teams tank it? The Dwarf and mixed human party have 3 tank classes, one-off tank and two main tanks, so they should be fine to handle it alone; what do you think, Rai?"
I wonder why she asked me, but the fact she did made me realise once again my value was increasing due to my changes and I should hurry to adapt.
"I honestly got some new skills, so if you want to stay on the walls and shoot from a safe distance, I will go out and cause mayhem, then return to recover?"
"Oooh~ that's our sexy berserker! Show us the benefits of your new class! Fufu~." Flora was quite kind to me, maybe because I made her orgasm, or rather, she was very touchy as her hands began to stroke my ass.
"Be sure not to die, or let this sweet ass get damaged, okay? It's mine." Flora winked at me before she skipped towards the walls holding her crossbow.
While I started to check my skills and the changes, Lumia came close, the scent of the forest entering my nose before a soft, sticky feeling pressed against my cheek before quickly leaving.
The elf kissed me! Haha... being handsome is the best.
[It's because, for them, death in this dungeon means death in reality...]
I was rushing towards the wall, with light steps, until the words that Eternia said dawned on me and caused me to stop as the Giant rat was now in clear view, huge claws, sharp nails and strange deformed muscular arms bulging and writhing with underneath this stretched skin—a true mutant with muscles thicker than Rai's waist.
Lumia and Flora would die for real if they were to die in the dungeon.
The sudden image of the cute halfling on the ground crushed under the Ratmans foot, or Lumia with arrows and blades sticking out of her body as their dead eyes looked at him without a sense of life.
Why am I okay, then?
[Because your world isn't fused with the dungeon... Like a kind of Newbie period?]
[It will last around 6 months, maybe a year? Don't worry—when it is gone, I'll tell you.]
Okay...
My eyes looked at the beautiful elf I just met and felt the beginning of friendship, and I wouldn't deny the desire to sleep with her at least, maybe more...
Flora was different, not my usual type, but she was like an addictive meal, and I felt more attracted to her each moment we spent together—for now, friends with benefits, but maybe one day we could be more.
Even if not... I want to become close friends with the people I met for the first time in the dungeon...
Seeing them dying is something that made my chest feel unsettled...
So much so that caring about whether I look like a dog boy, cat boy, or some other type of demi-human began to mean nothing...
If this class and blessing give me the power to protect them... Aki, mother and even Elizabeth...
Let's use it to the fullest!
With that, I began to run with all my power—the feeling of fatigue and muscle pain was long gone from when I changed.
My thighs became more meaty and powerful, each step sending me almost double the distance as I flew up the wall, like before, not even waiting for the dwarfs or human groups...
I wanted to fight and use this body while I would survive even death! To be reckless, to become stronger no matter what I have to suffer...
[(Rai...)]
As my body rushed towards the Ratmen, they growled, snarled and prepared their weapons as I jumped into the air screaming, "LUNAR ASSCENDANCE!"
Like a strange miracle, the world turned to night, the sun to moon, and my body was bathed in the wondrous light of her blessing and affection.
[That damn goddess is brainwashing Rai!?]
{Ah... you want the power to fight, to get stronger and protect those female bitches? What a good boy... fight! I will lend you all the power I can!}
{Fight Rai!}
[(Tsk... bitch stealing all my lines... What's the number for the Vet... I need to put an overgrown old bitch down.)]
Before the Giant Rat could swipe its huge arm and crush me, the blast of silver light and the deafening howl of the Ratman's words enemy sounded, causing them to be stunned momentarily due to their bloodline's fear.
A Werewolf.
Not just a regular werewolf, but one with the origin bloodline of Chaos.
A Primal Werewolf
