092, Space Wolves: There Are No Wolves on Fenris (VI)

[You lie on a cold stone platform.

[You have received careful inspection from three rune priests. 】

[You gradually regain your strength. 】

[You took off your bearskin suit and put on a soft gray robe. 】

[You lower your head and stare at the claw mark-like patterns on the chest of the robe, as well as a mark belonging to the Space Wolf. 】

[Your eyes look at Wolf Priest Urik again. 】

[You learn it from the other person’s mouth. 】

[Your body and soul have received permission to undergo the final trial. 】

[Your will is worthy of the glory of the Space Wolves, and even far exceeds...]

[At the same time, Wolf Priest Ulric also apologized to you. 】

[Due to his momentary negligence, your arrival unexpectedly aroused the curiosity of a cub in the Space Wolves. 】

[Even if you successfully survive the dangerous trial at Mokai Gate. 】

[But the other party’s reckless behavior of putting you in danger without authorization is not worthy of forgiveness. 】

[The Astartes monk named Lucas will be stripped of all his past honors and return to the Blood Claw to undergo training. 】

[Your eyes fell on Lucas, who had a pair of hazy eyes. 】

[You hesitated for a moment and did not utter any words. 】

[You do not resent the other party, and you are also grateful to Lucas for his unauthorized action.

[Otherwise, it might not be as easy for a foreigner to join the Space Wolves as it is now. 】

[On the sixth week, you tasted freshly baked bread and slightly astringent ale for the first time. 】

[You wolfed down the soft bread and drank the cold ale. 】

[Those meats that exude heat and aroma are temporarily forgotten by you. 】

[You have gone through a period of repair. 】

[Your physical and mental strength have once again returned to peak condition. 】

[You are brought to a hall with dancing light by Wolf Priest Ulric. 】

[Just below a tall statue belonging to the original body of the Space Wolves, the Wolf King Leman Russ, an altar carved with a wolf's head is burning with rising fire. 】

[Several steel priests wearing metal masks surround you. 】

[A heavy metal armband is placed on your arm, with a wolf head rune staring ahead engraved on it. 】

[You haven’t figured out what this rune means yet. 】

[The solemn-looking Wolf Priest Urik picked up an ancient metal Holy Grail from the center of the burning altar and walked slowly towards you. 】

["This is the sacred relic of the Space Wolves, the Cup of Ulfen that was once touched by Russ himself..." Ulric's solemn voice echoed in the hall. 】

["Mortal boy, if you want to truly become a Space Wolf, you must drink the mead in the cup and obtain the mark of Russ..."]

[Wolf Priest Ulric walks in front of you, his head wearing a wolf skull is slightly lowered, looking down at you.

[You stare at the Ulfen Cup in front of you, which carries the original and most deadly component of the gene seed, the ‘Wolf Spiral’, and take a slow, deep breath. 】

【You are ready for everything. 】

[While listening to Ulric telling the story of the Holy Grail's past, you carefully took the Ulfen Grail. 】

[You picked up the Holy Grail without hesitation and drank heartily. 】

[You feel the cold liquid called mead, which is actually as light as water, pouring into your body. 】

[You didn’t stop drinking until the Ulfen Cup in your hands was gently taken back by Wolf Priest Ulric. 】

[You looked at Urik with doubtful eyes. 】

[You didn’t feel any changes in your body. 】

[You were about to ask. 】

[In an instant, a violent change came from within your body and you couldn't help but arch your back and let out a heart-breaking howl. 】

[Every inch of your body is undergoing drastic changes. 】

[Your pores are constantly burning, and your gums are bleeding bright red. 】

[Your eyeballs are filled with tears as if they have been inserted into red-hot iron rods. 】

[The scene in front of you is sometimes blurry, sometimes clearly visible. 】

[The bones of your hands gradually increase in size, the skin becomes smoother and tighter, and even the nails become thicker and sharper. 】

[In fact, the changes in your body are far more than just your hands. 】

[However, just when you are unconscious, you are desperately resisting the emerging blood lust and trying to stay awake. 】

[Several Iron Priests gathered around and stepped forward again. 】

[They pierced your body with metal probes one after another, conducting continuous inspections. 】

[Then, several Iron Priests nodded heavily to Wolf Priest Urik. 】

[The powerful and deep voice from Wolf Priest Ulric suddenly cuts through your hazy consciousness and penetrates into the depths of your mind. 】

["Baby, for the sake of Russ, I hope you can persevere... You will be thrown into the icy wasteland thousands of kilometers away. Only by finding the way back to Wolf Fang Castle can you truly complete the trial... Otherwise, You will always be a werewolf without any reason!"]

[Unconscious, you were put into a metal coffin. 】

[A delicate humanoid image appears above the coffin. It is a detailed image that marks the changing positions in your body. 】

[You close your eyes tightly, constantly resisting the broken thoughts that seem to be split into two. 】

[Part of your mental will seems to have turned into a violent beast, roaring in anger, wanting to devour everything in front of you. ]

[You have lost your sense of time and space. ]

[When you gradually wake up. ]

[You find yourself in a snow-covered wilderness, with the biting cold wind mixed with snowflakes constantly hitting your robe. ]

[Against the gloomy sky, a Thunderhawk transport plane with roaring engines is slowly going away. ]

[You keep shaking your dizzy head, trying to recover your spirit. ]

[You keep enduring the hunger coming from your body, barely identifying the direction of the Wolf Fang Castle. ]

[Your eyes suddenly notice a group of Fenris elk a few kilometers away. ]

[You hear the subtle sound of snowflakes rubbing against each other and the heavy sound of hooves hitting each other. ]

[Your nose smells the stench of the fur of the Fenris elk and... the fragrance of flesh and blood. ]

[You seem to be unable to suppress your endless desire for flesh and blood. ]

[You raised your neck, which was gradually covered with thick hair, and subconsciously let out a shrill wolf howl. ]

[However, at this moment, a human hand with thick joints and sharp fingertips grabbed the back of your neck. ]

[With continuous punches, the opponent actually interrupted your gradual transformation into a werewolf! ]

[Accompanied by a series of sudden gusts of wind and snow, a huge figure nearly four meters tall stood on the snow. ]

[Just behind him, it seemed that a subspace rift was slowly disappearing. ]

[The huge figure muttered to himself while holding you who was in a coma, and the low voice was like the roar of a volcano. ]

["Young brother... your luck is a little bad today."]
