“Thank you so much for finding us like this. If you get out of here, I will definitely repay you.”

Vanessa Vitolo was a woman in her mid-thirties. The owner of a fairly strong mental power, she was quite weak due to the fact that she couldn’t use magic.

However, she deserved respect for just blocking the children in the same situation with a spear made of crude wood.

“… By the way, where are the others?”

“We entered through the passage you probably came in, and the passage closed at the end of me.”

Professor Vitolo asked, and Philip answered. Professor Vitolo’s expression darkened a little, but there was no hint of despair. She seemed quite relieved by the fact that professors and instructors who knew how to handle swords joined her.

“I need to clean up the body first. You can smell the blood and beasts may flock to it. Because they are of wolf blood, we would rather avoid those weaker than them, but bears and tigers may come.”

Faculty and students followed Philip’s suggestion to clear the area around the cave. Although he naturally took the lead, no one, including Professor Vitolo, expressed any dissatisfaction.

Some students were injured on the way from the beach to this cave, most of them frightened. Even the professor, a mage from the Green Mage Tower, had become just one weak woman, and it was unreasonable to expect the students to remain calm.

“… Do you know where this is?”

Cheryl approached cautiously and asked, and Philip shook his head.

“I don’t know, but since there was a way in, I guess there must be a way out.”

It was a hopeful view in its own way. Professor Vitolo also agreed with Philip.

“This seems to be a subspace created by magical powers. As Instructor Phillip said, there will be a device that can get you out somewhere, so don’t worry too much.”

“Now that we’re here, you don’t have to be afraid of animals. Tigers and bears, I will chase them all away.”

Felicia also added words. Since she was a professor at the Faculty of Swordsmanship, the students’ expressions brightened a little.

‘If I was alone or with the swordsmanship faculty, I could have easily escaped, but with the students from the magic department, the difficulty is quite high. Prepare for the safety of the children while finding a randomly generated escape portal on this large island. And maybe… .’

Philip had the worst in his mind and shook his head.

A group close to disaster that often appears in these spaces. Philip wasn’t even sure of his own safety if he ever encountered them.

“We have to get food, we have to make a fire. We also need to secure clean drinking water. Everyone remember that you have to be careful with everything because you never know how long you will be here.”

Having made two campfires out of dry leaves and twigs, Philip asked Diana to get some firewood and started exploring the area with Felicia.

There were many things to find, including a source of drinking water.

“… I’m so glad you have me. Philip. Where the hell did you learn these things? Aside from lighting a fire or setting up camp, you seem to know all too well what to do in a situation like this?”

Philip shrugged at Felicia’s praise.

“I read the book a little hard.”

When he was young, books about surviving in all kinds of nature were sensational among children. Philip just read them intently.

After going a little deeper into the forest from the cave, Philip and Felicia soon found a trail that could be called a path.

It was a path that had been paved with footsteps so that no grass could grow on it, so it was impossible to get confused.

“Is there anyone else besides us? Could it be that they are like us who are trapped here and cannot escape for a long time?”

Felicia muttered, unable to hide her anxiety. Philip shook his head with a serious expression.

“It’s not a shoe, it’s a trace of walking barefoot.”

He sighed and checked the condition of the sword at his waist once again.

‘That’s good.’

As the number of unexpected cases turned out to be a revealing fact, Philip suddenly became uneasy.

‘It would be nice if it was a race that could speak the language.’

As soon as he thought so, a low cry of a beast was heard all around where Philip and Felicia were standing. It was a wolf howl.

“Grrr… .”

“Err… .”

From noble mtl dot com

Felicia’s body trembled slightly at the howling that would give you goosebumps just by hearing it. Reflexively, she reached for the hilt of the sword at her waist.

Then two wolves with silver fur appeared. It was bigger than a normal wolf, and its claws and teeth were much sharper.

‘… Are you these guys? No, rather fortunately?’

“I’ll take the guy on the right.”

Felicia whispered in a low voice, and Philip hurriedly stopped her.

“No, wait. It just doesn’t look like a wolf. Doesn’t it sound like you’re observing us rather than attacking us? Let’s wait and not attack for now.”

Felicia, who was about to ask what that meant, couldn’t help but nod her head. Even to her, the wolves seemed unwilling to attack right now.

Then one of the wolves opened its snout.

“… what are you? How did humans get here?”

It was the voice of a rough man. Felicia looked at Philip with a bewildered expression when the wolf spoke to her in the common language out of nowhere.

“honey. wife. look at those humans How long has it been since you’ve seen a human?”

It was like talking about a strange spectacle. The female wolf standing next to her responded in a soft, feminine voice.

“I think it has been over two hundred years. The last human you saw was a corpse. Wasn’t it lunch for the bear cub?”

“okay. It was. After living a long time, I get confused about all the different things. So what should I do with them? should i kill They might have sent it.”

Philip knew the identity of the wolf couple. In the original worldview, they were an ancient race called ‘Wolrang’, and they had the characteristics of beasts, but they had ridiculous powers.

Judging from the information we could gather, if five Wolang warriors were gathered together, we could have dealt with a young dragon.

That silver fur was able to withstand the strength of the sword of the Auror Master to some extent, and it basically possessed anti-magic, so magic did not work well.

The most difficult thing was their unimaginable physical abilities. They moved at an invisible speed, and those claws easily tore apart armor made of metal mixed with mithril.

If he could use his aura, he could find a way to win, but unfortunately, Philip couldn’t use his aura, so it was safe to say that fighting and winning couldn’t be done right now.

“… Who are you to kill us or save us?”

Felicia eventually drew her sword. Philip stopped her before she could say anything more.

If I made a mistake here, it could have been a misunderstanding.

“We came here by accident, not for any specific purpose.”

When Philip stepped forward, the two Wolangs ignored Philip’s words. Then he suddenly sniffed and tilted his head.

“… That man smells good. I think killing them is a bad idea.”

“Right. Interesting? It smells like a young Wolang tribe. I’m not sure how a human can smell like this.”

The female wolf came close to Philip and sniffed his neck and armpits. Philip was insanely pressured, but let them do it without showing off.

Rather, Felicia stomped her feet restlessly, contemplating whether she should swing the sword or not.

The female wolf finished her search for Philip and waggled her tail. Phillip let out a small sigh of relief.

Soon, a bright silver light burst from the bodies of the wolves, and soon they took on human shapes. After the process, similar to the transformation of the Black Myo tribe, a man and a woman in leather appeared.

“Originally, I was just going to kill him, but the human over there smells like he shouldn’t be killed. What are you? Does your mother become a fugitive from the Wolang tribe?”

Among them, a sharp-looking silver-haired man asked. Philip tried to answer their questions as naturally as possible.

“As far as I know, the Wolang disappeared a thousand years ago. Probably not.”

“okay? Has time passed like that? see what Then why does it smell like this?”

The silver-haired woman with a soft impression, who seemed to be his wife, blinked as if thinking about something, then made a sound like ah.

“Perhaps he is a distant successor?”

“what!”

As if the idea was quite surprising, the Wolang man exclaimed. He came closer to Philip and put his hand on his shoulder.

The force was so strong that Philip thought it would break his shoulder blades.

‘If I messed around, I’d be dead.’

Breaking out in a cold sweat, Philip waited for the Wolang man’s next words.

“You, human. Master Otem, do you know him?”

Philip’s eyes widened at the sudden mention of Master Otem’s name.

He was the creator of the Moonlight Sword that Philip was learning, and one of the Auror Masters active at the same time as Sword Master Solvein.

“Although I am learning his craft… … .”

When Philip answered cautiously, the Wolang man suddenly had a face full of joy.

“Ha ha ha! okay! Somehow it smelled good!”

“His successor is coming to us… Unbelievable… .”

His wife put her hands on her chest and began to weep. Philip looked around in silence.

‘What is this? Philip?’

I could see Felicia’s face asking such a question with just her eyes.

Phillip tried to shrug his shoulders, but he couldn’t because he was being held back with such force. Instead, he spoke only with his mouth.

‘I don’t know either. sister.’

The two Wolang men and women returned to their wolf form and fell on their stomachs in front of Philip. It was like a dog trying to protect its owner.

“If you are his true heir, then you are worthy of our allegiance to him. Could you please show me proof that you followed him?”

The male wolf spoke in a tone that suddenly became polite.

“As proof, are you referring to the moonlight sword?”

“yes that’s right. Moonlight Sword!”

When Phillip asked, the female wolf jumped in her place with joy.

“that… no… that is.”

Philip scratched the back of his head with an awkward expression, sweating profusely. He knew what he was going to sound like, but he couldn’t tell an obvious lie.

“… I’m having a bit of trouble now… ?”

The moment Philip said that, the wolves’ eyes suddenly changed.

“what? Are you cheating on us now?”

“If it’s a lie, I can never forgive it. Isn’t that right, honey?”

Facing the ferocious wolf’s eyes that seemed like it would kill him at any moment, Philip swallowed his saliva.

‘I can’t use aura here, so what are you saying… .’
