I think you can't even imagine the happiness of a warlock.

Lycanthropy is the end of humanoid creatures suffering from lycanthropy, a magical plague and curse. This will cause the infected person to become a shape-shifting creature, gain high-speed regeneration and transform into a half-human, half-beast hybrid form and animal. Form capabilities.

The Wasteland of Jorhas, an area that still bears the scars of the final battlefield of the Cataclysmic War, is home to creatures twisted by the remnants of the traitor god who once ruled here.

Muddy paths wind through broken fields, sweltering swamps, and decaying forests, fierce storms dominate the skies, and hungry predators prowl the empty and desolate plains.

Various lycanthropes, goblins, and nomads claim the swamps and wastelands of the region, honing their survival skills and fighting styles against the elements and each other.

The chaotic magic of the wasteland and the traces left by the original rebellion against the gods flow in the blood of the local tribesmen, and the natural lycanthropes formed the clans of the wilderness.

Halfling tribes roamed the wasteland on dinosaurs and wild beasts, spreading the curse of acquired lycanthropy everywhere.

"About the beginning of last month, fences were destroyed and livestock were preyed on in Asari City and nearby villages, leaving traces of canine creatures."

"At first, when we didn't know that there was a problem in each village, we thought it was a wolf. But later, after news came from other villages and Asares City, we realized that it should be an acquired beast."

Acquired lycanthropes are humanoid creatures that are infected with the curse of lycanthropy after being bitten by a natural lycanthrope. Depending on the type of beast spirit, there are also requirements for the size of the infected person - even halflings with smaller bodies are affected by lycanthropy. After being bitten by a werebear, his body structure does not support his transformation into a werebear.

This kind of infected person is relatively weaker and has less regenerative power, but it still has the ability to spread magical plagues.

Not only that, due to the fierce conflict between the original human soul and the beast spirit brought about by the curse, this acquired beast-turned-human will lose himself and become a crazy hunter.

Inside the guard's duty room.

The boss of the red war-painted bugbear and the green war-painted bugbear, a veteran knight who participated in the third war between the Kling Dynasty and the Dundarion Empire, the half-orc Linton asked the outsider who was brought in without authorization by two idiots. Explains the whole story of the emergence of lycanthropes.

The one-eyed orc who was shot by an arrow during the war spoke unexpectedly well. It seemed that he had gone to the dynasty's capital of Rosona to study.

It is worth mentioning that the beastmen of Essendria are not human subspecies with animal characteristics like those in the Ashtar plane.

It is another kind of orc with a low forehead, a pig-like face, and long ivory-like tusks on the lower jaw (although not that long), and is accustomed to walking forward with a bow.

Chen Zhou, who had already taken extra classes, knew that this kind of humanoid creature (orc) was the first time he saw it with his own eyes.

Somewhat close to the Lord of the Rings or the orcs in WoW, Chen Zhou thought, maybe the Lord of the Rings is not some kind of artistically processed documentary literature.

In a few years, he might even be able to find his way back to his home on Earth...

Following a few words from the old half-orc knight in his early forties, everyone understood the cause of the matter.

"Counting the days, if a person is bitten by a werewolf, he will lose himself and become a monster within about a month or two. Very few acquired beast-turned-human beings can maintain themselves despite the interference of their spirits on their consciousness."

Due to his profession, Donal has some knowledge of this dangerous and evil (usually) shape-shifting creature: "Even if he retains himself, his personality will definitely change."

This change depends on the type of acquired lycanthrope.

Generally speaking, ratmen and werewolves tend to be evil, tigers and quilboars tend to be neutral, while bearmen tend to be good overall.

This change in moral concepts has nothing to do with the animal's habits, but is caused by the spirit in its body.

However, the specific personality changes will depend on the local situation. For example, all the lycanthropes in Eberron are biased towards evil, which led to the Loli Cult... The Silver Flame Church indiscriminately purged them.

As for the situation on Asanzhia's side, Donal is not sure, but since the lycanthrope clan in the Johas wasteland has not been beaten by everyone, it is obviously different from the situation on Eberron.

After understanding the situation, everyone looked at the bright moon outside the window again. The moon was currently in the sky, and if there was a werewolf, it would probably appear soon.

So I was ready to leave at any time.

But Tunalas felt a little weird. If the lycanthropes encountered in these villages were really unable to control their acquired forms, how could they accurately bloom more near Azares City?

It suspects that the other party is probably aware of its actions, and may even have some unknown premeditation.

"Don't worry, I have released some activation parts to monitor the streets of Black Earth Village. If I find anything, I will notify you as soon as possible."

"I also put up surveillance." Mimic added.

In fact, Chen Zhou also summoned the Holy Light Divine Envoy. He had been curious about the origins of Asta, a Japanese or oriental orc, and planned to take a look at the difference between the appearance of the beastman and himself.

However, the expected werewolf has not yet appeared, so he simply became invisible for the Holy Light Envoy and threw him into the military camp stationed outside the village.

It was a mixed army of Dawn Guards under the Queen of Light of the Dark Elves of Rosona City and local warriors. There were forty or fifty fifth-level warriors, and they were assisted by spellcasters. Even he had to be careful not to be seen through. Invisible.

If such a legion of nearly a hundred people (only the number of combatants) were placed in Asta, even the most powerful Norton Kingdom would be able to capture it.

Isn't it a bit fussy to deal with so many acquired beasts?

"Zhushu feels that the lycanthropy is probably not an accident. Random crimes occurred in multiple locations at the same time. In addition, the werewolves themselves are used to dispatching in groups. This is likely to be a premeditated attack."

Jerry's analysis did not surprise the old knight.

There are many enemies to the Dark Elves, the Kling Dynasty, and Asari City. The Jorhas Wasteland, which is the core of the War of Disaster, is destined to be a place filled with chaos.

"Ah, my eyes were blocked." Chen Zhou suddenly said.

The Holy Light Envoy was lifted from the summons by a spell caster in the garrison outside the city.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was feedback from the sight of Tunaras and the Mimic monsters arranged in Black Earth Village and even more places.

"Werewolves have appeared, and there's more than one!"

Tunaras counted and found that there were seven werewolves in a small village of less than 10,000 square meters in Heitu Village alone.

These tall humanoid wolf monsters wearing black fur appeared from different houses or taverns, shouting the name of Maura, the rebel god, and started killing without anyone noticing!

Upon hearing this, the orcs hurriedly sounded the alarm.

The harsh gong sound sounded, and Black Earth Village immediately entered a state of war readiness!
