093, Space Wolves: There are no wolves on Fenris (7)
【You opened your eyes.】
[You feel the fangs growing in your mouth.]
[Your eyes are staring at the always gloomy sky, and you easily capture the rolling and rotating snowflakes. 】
[You hear the scraping of fur, the crunch of snow under the soles of your feet, and the crackling sound of fire.]
[You smell a strange human scent, as well as the aroma of more flesh and blood being roasted. 】
【You stand up and jump up with your teeth and claws showing.】
[You showed your sharp fingertips towards the opponent and let out a threatening roar.]
[Right above an extremely huge fire, a split Fenrisian mammoth is being carefully roasted. 】
[A huge figure nearly four meters tall has his back to you, as if he doesn't care about your threat. ]
[You stared at the other person’s tall back and blond hair shawl, hesitating. 】
[You try hard to suppress the surging animal instincts.]
[Your animal instinct is vaguely aware of the danger of the other party.]
[The back of that huge figure is like a terrifying abyss, blocking your desire to attack.]
【Your sanity is gradually returning.】
[Just when you were hesitating to speak, a half-roasted elephant leg suddenly flew through the air, attacking you like a giant cannonball.]
【You reacted instantly.】
[You caught the hot elephant leg, opened your mouth and bit into the food with all your strength.]
["Use your will to shape your thoughts... don't let instinct control everything about you." A deep voice like the roar of a volcano penetrated the swaying wind and snow and slowly entered your ears. ]
【You suddenly stopped eating.】
【You can't help but open your eyes wide.】
[You stare at the other person’s familiar face that is almost everywhere in the Wolf Fang Castle and fall into extreme shock.]
【For a moment, it seems like you have forgotten how to chew food.】
[Even the hot elephant leg in your hand fell onto the snow, making a sizzling sound of melting grease.]
["Li... Big Wolf Lord!" You knelt down on one knee and made a hoarse voice. ]
[The opponent's huge body is wearing a slightly dilapidated and ancient piece of finely crafted power armor.]
[A black wolfskin cloak that seems to have experienced endless years of attack falls behind him.]
[Wolf King Leman Russ’s vicissitudes of life and profound eyes fell on you, with a gentle expression on his weathered face. 】
["Baby, how is Bjorn?" the other party asked softly. 】
[When you heard the Wolf King’s question, you subconsciously blinked your eyes.]
[You have not seen Bjorn since you arrived at Wolffang Castle. 】
[You've only heard of the legendary story of the last of Russ's bodyguards.]
[You told the Wolf King what you knew about Bjorn.]
[When the other party heard that Bjorn was buried in the Dreadnought Armor and would only wake up once every thousand years, he told the legendary story of Russ to the little wolves in the war group.]
["It's hard for him too..." Wolf King Leman Russ sighed slowly. 】
[His deep gaze seemed to have transcended countless winds and snows, and saw the distant giant mountain, and also saw Bjorn sleeping deep in the Wolf Fang Castle. 】
[Subsequently, Wolf King Leman Russ accidentally asked about your past.]
[You told the other party about your combat experience without hesitation.]
["Perhaps only the Astartes monks who grew up in the battle group are the perfect combination of courage and tactics... But personally, I value courage more, because courage can make up for the lack of experience..." Wolf
Wang Limanrus stares at you with his deep eyes, showing the slightest hint of appreciation.】
["As a mortal, you have unparalleled courage... This deserves more appreciation."]
[Wolf King Leman Russ suddenly raised his unarmored palm and pointed at the elephant leg in front of you.]
【"I don't have much time...so, little boy, eat quickly."】
[You immediately picked up the gradually cooling elephant leg and sat on the snow to chew it. 】
[In the seventh week, Wolf King Leman Russ leads you to walk in the snow-covered wilderness. 】
[He will occasionally tell you many legends and stories about his hometown Fenris.]
[But most of the time, the other party is just constantly tempering your will and beating your spirit.]
[Especially when you are attracted by a large amount of new flesh and blood and cannot suppress your animal instincts for the time being. 】
[You will personally experience the wrestling skills of Wolf King Leman Russ.]
[After experiencing it a dozen times, your animal instinct seems to have completely become a human instinct.]
[You no longer have to resist animal instinct, it seems to be your innate nature.]
[Wolf King Leman Russ has expressed more goodwill towards you.]
[You once again enjoyed the prey baked by the other party's own hands, and learned the wrestling skills the other party taught you. 】
[Not long after, a sudden snowstorm enveloped you.]
[Wolf King Leman Russ, who lamented the lack of taste of mead in his mouth, slowly stood up.]
["My time has come, young cub..." Wolf King Leman Russ stared at a slowly emerging subspace rift with his deep eyes. 】
["Although it was His whisper that guided me... But I also enjoyed a moment of peace at home..." Wolf King Leman Russ turned his head, his blond hair swaying and he looked down at you with a gentle expression, "Final advice,
Little boy, remember to keep tempering your soul to resist the corruption of Chaos, but never underestimate it, because its soft and harmless appearance may be just a cover..."]
["At the same time, you must also remember why you are fighting to get to where you are today... You have never been His toy, nor His puppet... Do you understand?"]
[You listened silently to the other person’s words and nodded heavily.]
[Wolf King Leman Russ smiled faintly, his sharp fangs slightly exposed.]
[Then, he seemed to raise his eyebrows.]
["... Got it, long-winded old guy." Accompanied by the low voice of Wolf King Leman Russ. 】
[He actually entered the subspace rift without looking back. His huge back just raised an unarmored palm and waved it at you, as if saying goodbye. ]
[The subspace rift gradually disappeared, and even the surrounding blizzard slowly weakened.]
[If it weren’t for the still-warm fire and remaining food scraps nearby.]
【You almost think this is just a strange dream.】
[You subconsciously took a deep breath of cold air.]
[You straighten your greasy gray robe.]
[Your eyes crossed the countless scattered snowflakes and stared at the towering giant mountain in the distance. 】
["Come on, the real show begins..." You muttered to yourself.]
[You gathered the remaining food and picked up a few tinder sticks.]
[You face the weakening wind and snow and once again embark on your ultimate trial. 】
