Paragon of Death

Chapter 41: [Bonus chapter]Chapter 40: Fox spirit

For days Damon remained inside and kept studying the book without stopping even for a moment. Gin and the others came to his room and knocked but he didn’t respond and since he was exempted from classes for a week by the arch mage, no one bothered themselves much.

While studying, Damon seemed oblivious to how much time has passed. His eyes were pinned on the book and each page described various techniques for the lone wolf and each technique he saw he practically learned instantly.

No, he didn’t learn it. It felt more like he was remembering.

According to what he read from the first few pages of the book is that unlike vampires and other supernatural creatures, werewolves operate differently. When a vampire is created he or she has no choice but to follow the normal process as time progresses. The older the vampire, not only does he get stronger but he or she gets more experienced.

Unlike them, werewolves have a normal human life span so they do things differently. They learn through the visions of their predecessors. That way what took the first werewolf decades to master, his successor can learn in hours.

As Damon sat down, he kept relieving times and periods where a former lone wolf utilized certain techniques he sees. It didn’t feel like he was learning, instead, it felt more like he was remembering something forgotten.

It took days and on the fifth day, he was on the final page of the book.

.....

“Lone wolf or pack wolves, We are still the FAMILY” Damon read the last sentence and shut the book. He leaned on his bed and shut his eyes tight, finally understanding why Duke Hail is so kind even after he rejected the man’s offer countless times.

With this time spent here, he learned more about Lone wolves. Unlike pack wolves who are affected by the full moon and moon stone. Once a person is selected as a lone wolf, he can turn at will and is no longer affected by it. Apart from that, Werewolves in general are more like protectors who hunt down all supernatural beings. So unless he makes a conscious effort to stop himself, he is more inclined to hate and attack all supernatural beings around him.

“This will be a problem if I enter a class full of vampires” Damon muttered as he gazed at his body. After completely mastering the pathway, he was far stronger than before. While wolves get stronger as they grow older, he already guessed his physical capabilities and his werewolf strength would put him at the peak of the human realm.

If he were ranked as a fighter now, his cultivation level wont is Amatur human, it should be somewhere around Exalted human and the warrior realm.

He also got to know about different supernatural beings and the most common ones to find. There was no method of tracking them down since when it came to that aspect he was always given the same instruction.

Trust your nose!

Also, pack wolves gain more power boosts with each member added to the group. There is a limit to how many wolves can be found in a pack and as every member grows stronger through training and cultivation, other members grow stronger too, making them a frightening force.

Meanwhile, a lone wolf is quite different!

To be a Lone wolf, one has to build confidence, and confidence is built on countless victories! For each supernatural being fought and each battle won, a lone wolf gets stronger. How that works is too supernatural for Damon so he didn’t ponder on it too much!

He stood up and put the book in a drawer. He felt really hungry but it was already too late to go down to the cafeteria.

Damon was about to lay on his bed and get a good night’s sleep but then his nose twitched and his eyes revealed a bright purple glow!

Swoosh!

It felt like he blacked out and the next moment he was already flying out the room through the window!

Hmph!

An entire castle was dedicated to the chosen and his room is located on the second floor, which is no different from jumping off a three-story building.

Screech!

Damon’s nails grew as he plunged his nails into the wall to break his fall! Once he was close enough to the ground he let go and let his feet hit the ground!

Swoosh!

Both the landing and the take off made almost no sound! His body shot forward as he followed a pink yet disgusting stench. After racing for close to five minutes, the trail led into the small forest at the academy area and Damon ran into it!

The moment he stepped in he could already hear moaning sounds! It was that of a man and a woman having sexual intercourse!

The sounds of pleasure were like a charm that soothes the soul but unfortunately, it was repulsive for Damon!

After another two minutes, Damon was already at the location where a female and a male student were entangled on the floor, pleasuring each other. The disgusting stench came from the male and each time he thrusts into the female Damon could clearly see power shifting. It felt like he was draining her power through lovemaking. The girl got pale with thrust and beneath the pleasurable moans were unnoticed yelps of pain.

Grrrrrr!

The growl of the werewolf got the attention of a male student he promptly broke away from the lady and shot back with inhuman agility. Damon remained unmoving as he gazed at the unconscious lady.

“After sexual intercourse, the victim loses consciousness and when he or she awakens, they have no recollection of the person responsible. With their potential stolen and their power waning some survive but a good number fall into a strange sickness that claims their lives a year later. With that type of time gap, no one would suspect a fox spirit is responsible for the death of a defenseless student” Damon said with a face void of all forms of emotions.
