"After he took us to this open area, he broke our legs so that we couldn't run." Paul continued and winced as he recalled what happened to him and his comrades.
"He then slit his wrist and started chanting in a strange language that sounded evil and and ancient. Soon, a red circle formed around us and I suddenly felt a deep instinctual fear from deep inside me and then, he transformed back into a werewolf and pounced on us one by one, and I could only helplessly watch as he bit into my soldiers until it was my turn." He said and the more he talked, the more somber his tone became. So, the ritual to turn someone into werewolf is similar yet different to mine, good to know.
"As for why I can't disobey him, he turned me into a werewolf and anytime we try to disobey his order, he uses a skill to make us go beserk." He said in an even more somber tone.
"I see, I know a way to get you and your soldiers free from Dracos Black." I said and he looked at me with new hope in his eyes.
"How?! Please tell me." He said excitedly
"It's simple really. All I have to do is kill the bastard." I said and the spark in the man's eyes dimmed considerably. Although it hurt my pride, I understood how he felt. Although my last run in with a tier 4 was nothing short of a disaster, that tier 4 was a Demon from hell and this one was a human turned demon just like me. I'm sure I can win with a little effort, although I would have liked my chances better if I had a weapon.
"I like your optimism, and although I know you're strong, I don't think you can win against someone like Dracos Black. Thank you either way." Paul said with a sigh of disappointment.
"I assure you that I can but since you clearly don't why don't I make you a deal. If I can beat this werewolf then you will join my my family." I said and I felt an intense glare on my back that no doubt came from Sera but it soon disappeared like it wasn't there.
"And what if you lose?" He asked
"I'll be too dead to care." I replied and he frowned
"Sorry youngman, but I can't take you up on your offer. I can't put you in danger for my sake." He said
"But it won't be for your sake but my own. You see, I need people to join my family and you guys seem perfect for that role. And besides, I doubt Sera here would let a bunch of aimless demons just stay in City I." I said, pointing at Sera. Everyone turned to look at her and she just sighed.
"He's right, I can't have you guys joining another family so it would be safer for everybody if we kill you all here." Sera said emotionlessly, I could see the Lieutenant inching her hand towards her gun, ready to use it at anytime.
"What about you then? I can tell by your scent that you are a Demon as well." He said and I raised an eyebrow.
'Scent.' I wondered
"He's a....special case." Sera said with another sigh.
"I'm too powerful for them to kill which is why you should join my family. I can give you protection and I won't treat you like a slave unlike that criminal." I said and I could see him actually considering it while Sera was looking at me with a complicated expression on her face.
"Fine, if you can kill Dracos we'll join your family." He said and I smiled.
"Now then, all I have to do is kill that criminal master of yours and you'll free." I said as I walked towards the door.
*AWROOOOOO*
Suddenly, we all heard a loud howl and I saw the Sergeant hold his head and start to yell in pain. Soon those yells turned into roars and growls and I could see his eyes glowing an intense blue, his nails and hair started grow rapidly as well as his fangs. Soon, demon miasma surrounded his body and it wasn't long before he reverted back to his full werewolf form and started snarling and growling at us. I immediately ran towards him, tackled him to the ground and held him by the neck while looking him in the eyes.
"Sleep." I said using [Advanced Compulsion] but it only made his flailing a bit more sluggish instead of putting him to sleep so I opted to do it the old fashion way. I punched him in the face causing the ground beneath his head to crack a bit and the soldier to gasp in horror. I'm sure his skull was cracked and he had internal bleeding but he should heal in few minutes.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine. Right now, you two need to get back to the [Holy Territory] while I deal with the werewolves." I said and they nodded. We ran outside and as I led them back towards the [Holy Territory], I saw the soldiers standing with there guns pointed outward. I looked in the direction they were pointing and I saw a man dressed in all black and sunglasses standing in the middle of the street, surrounded by snarling werewolves.
'It looks like I don't have to go out and look for him.' I said as I recognized the man's face from the news.
