I Became the Companion of the Gods

31 – EP.10 The wolf chasing the moon -1

Seeing the wolf howling under the moonlight, I thought.

Ah, I can’t beat that one…….

Because the wolf’s teeth look sharp? No.

Because the wolf’s claws look hard? No.

Because the wolf’s frozen hair looks sharp? Not even that.

I just felt that, biologically, that creature was something I could not win against.

Until now, I’ve met many Shinsoos, but I’ve never felt scared from the first impression.

That’s also true, because all the gods I met were kind to me, and only those who acknowledged and accepted me.

But the Shinsoo I’m watching now was different.

That ice wolf was currently burning fighting spirit and spewing death, so it was showing exactly what it was like when it was hostile to the existence of Shinsoo.

I just saw the hostile Shinsoo, but my body naturally trembled, and my skin tingled and felt as if something was constantly stabbing me.

“You have to run…… !”

But how?

I know better than anyone that I can’t escape from that wolf even if I run away.

Haven’t you seen how excellent their physical abilities are while living with divine beasts?

I could imagine that even if I ran away now, I would be caught before I could go 100 meters.

Unless of course, a wolf that created a large ice awl from afar to kill me already.

If I continue like this, I will be pierced by that awl and die.

So I have to move quickly…… !

I have to move… !!

I can’t move my legs because of fear!

“Damn!!”

He slammed his leg down with his clenched fist.

If it didn’t move, I gave shocks to my legs again and again so that I could move.

I was able to regain control of my legs when I slammed them down to ask them to move as I please.

But it was too early to be relieved.

It’s only now that I can move my legs.

I had to dodge the ice picks that were being fired at me right away, so I threw myself to the right side and narrowly avoided the ice picks that were flying towards me.

An ice pick driven deep into the ground, making a huge hole in the hard stone floor.

If I had stayed still, I would have gotten into that awl…….

“Ugh… !! Let’s not think about anything.”

Now is the starting line.

Hati’s onslaught is about to begin, so he must prepare for it.

“Coming… !”

Hati comes into the village and runs through the streets.

The wolf, whose hair all over its body was made of ice itself, was approaching me with a strong sense of intimidation.

“Quit!!”

I aim at the approaching Hati and fire a few shots at it, but again, I can’t do any significant damage to the wolf with my pistol.

Of course, bullets couldn’t penetrate the shell made of ice, and the relatively soft-looking eyes became impossible to hit with just a light nod of the wolf’s head.

In the end, it means that I have no way to deal with that wolf.

Then there was only one action I had to take.

“Run away!”

Quickly enter a nearby building.

Even if you run away on the street, it’s only a matter of time before the wolf catches you.

So, in order to avoid that ice wolf, which seems to be about 5 meters high and 10 meters long, it would be the correct answer to go inside the building.

However, I continued to run without stopping my legs.

My target point is the window on the other side of the building.

On the way, he snatched a frying pan from inside and threw it toward the window, breaking the glass in advance.

After that, without any hesitation, I threw myself through the window and came out again.

-Quarreuk!

“Ugh… !!”

When I heard the sound of the outer wall of the building collapsing against something, I turned around slightly and a large block of ice shattered the building.

If I had delayed a little longer, I would have died from being crushed by the ice blocks and the wreckage of collapsed buildings.

The thrill of imagining it made me run again while looking straight ahead.

To survive from now on, I must trust only my judgment and senses.

“Haa… ! Ha… !”

A situation where you have to run away without having time to catch your breath.

The cold air entering my lungs made my heart ache and my eyes wink, but I didn’t even have time to complain about that.

Quickly enter the next building and exit through the window again.

Then again, the building collapses into a block of ice.

As I repeat this, I run away from the ice wolf with all my might.

How long will I have to run away like this…… ?

I don’t know.

But by now, the senior agents who have arrived in the village will be evacuating the residents quickly, and the other agents who have freed them will be putting all their efforts into evacuating.

Then I just have to play hide and seek with the wolves until all the residents have successfully evacuated.

Anyway, the ice wolf’s goal is only me, the companion of Shinsoo.

A wolf that doesn’t even care about other humans if only I can kill it.

If I buy time here, the villagers will be able to safely evacuate, and my followers will be able to fight in peace.

“Let’s just buy time, just time… !!”

The only task I can do right now, all the previous tasks have failed, so I will try to succeed this time.

For my companion animals…….

I will at least dance with wolves under this moonlit night.

***

“The jokes are over, human.”

“Gee, f*ck! Isn’t it against the law to blow up all the buildings?”

I tried to escape using the buildings in the village, but Hati, as if tired of it, created blocks of ice in advance and blew them all down.

In the end, the area around here has turned into a devastated village, and there is no structure left for me to hide in.

“Now end your life by being quietly eaten by me. Human.”

“This is the only thing you can eat. Mutt.”

It’s not a good situation, but I tried to make a mocking face and only raised my middle finger.

Because if I didn’t do this at least, I would be terrified and look ugly.

I had to belittle the wolves as much as possible in order to maintain the mental state to fight them.

“They are provoking divine beasts at a mere insignificant human subject…… The divine beasts who signed a contract with such a pathetic thing are truly stupid.”

“Stop talking bullsh*t! Hey! My followers are more competent than mutts like you?”

“Hey! A shallow human being.”

The ice wolf snorted as if it had nothing to listen to and started creating dozens of ice awls in the air again.

Ah, this is dangerous…….

Now there is no cover left to hide in, and in addition to that, a tumultuous sound was entering my ears as if the evacuation had not yet been completed.

Thankfully, the sound seems to have faded a lot, so it seems that the evacuation is almost over, but I think I need to buy more time.

“Hey mutt. You were the first human yesterday, right?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“You don’t know much about humans, so you don’t even know what kind of tools humans made. Right?”

“Of course it is insignificant even if you don’t look at things made by mere trifles! It’s not even worth evaluating!”

“Really? If so, that’s good.”

A heavy iron stick held in one hand.

Carefully holding the tip of the iron stick to the shoulder blade, hold the trigger with one hand and the lowermost part of the iron block with the other hand, and aim it at the wolf.

“Really, it’s so insignificant! Threatening me with a lump of iron like that.”

“Evaluate whether it’s insignificant or not after being hit yourself, you stupid mutt.”

I take a deep breath, close my mouth, and aim for Hati’s eyes in the apnea state.

The wolf’s eyes staring at me as if it were pitiful.

You must feel pitiful, because I tried to shoot in the eye earlier, but all failed.

But this time it will be different.

-Tooung! Clap!

A relatively clean gunshot. However, unlike the sound, its power was stronger than before.

If the previous pistol ended in one shot, this time the bullets are released simultaneously.

Again, several iron balls spread widely and flew towards the wolf’s eyes, which he thought could be avoided by moving lightly.

“Keugh…?!”

As I had hoped, one of the many iron balls had succeeded in hitting the wolf’s eye, and the wolf let out a short scream and turned its head.

Successfully landed the first significant hit.

But I had to keep on the offensive without stopping.

I aim for the wolf’s head again as I run across the snow to quickly damage the other eye as well.

The gunshots are fired with clear gunshots and the sound of bullets being ejected intersecting.

My right hand repeatedly pulled and released the trigger without stopping, and my left hand repeatedly pulled and pushed the tip to pull out the spent cartridge case.

“I was lucky enough to find a shotgun lying in one of the houses I went in and out of! So I brought my own, but is this helpful?”

“Aagh!! Human!!”

Hati was unaware of the human product called the shotgun.

The unknown and negligence made it completely unexpected that this damage would be caused, and it was the biggest mistake the wolf ever made.

“Keuuugh…!!”

Ice picks pouring down around me.

But the awls that lost their target weren’t that much of a threat to me.

“Ha ha!! How does a shotgun taste? You stupid mutt!”

“God damn it!! I will kill you!! As for you, I will chew you to death with all your bones!!”

I’m spouting terrible words, but the wolf’s ice picks still can’t hit me.

I shot at the eye, but unexpectedly, did it hit the wolf’s nose?

Hati, whose senses of sight and smell had been paralyzed, relied on hearing to send an awl at me, but he couldn’t catch me as I constantly ran over the snow.

“Aagh!!”

Hati was getting hit by my shotgun without a proper attack.

In the end, it seemed that he gave up attack and chose defense, creating a large and hard ice wall around himself.

“Okay! In this gap… !”

No matter how strong a shotgun is, that’s a story that can only be used by humans.

You can’t do much damage to Shinsu with a gun, and even if you do, it’s just a scratch.

At least it was effective because it attacked a sensitive part like the eyeball, but considering the regenerative power of the Shinsoo, it wouldn’t last long.

So while he’s solidifying his defense and healing his wounds, keep as much distance as possible……

“Aww… !?”

“Finally got it! Damn human!!”

As I ran away, a spear made of ice pierced my leg and became lodged in the ground.

Damn!! I never thought it would play this fast… !!

This is an obvious mistake on my part, this time I was stupid.

“Keugh!!”

An ice spear that feels intense cold through your hand.

I ended up pulling out this spear stuck in the ground in order to escape, but…….

When I tried to throw it on the floor, it stuck to my hand and I couldn’t get it off.

“Ahhh!!”

I thought that if I stayed like this, I would get frostbite and be in danger, so I quickly put the ice spear on the ground and stepped on it with my foot, trying to get it out of my hand somehow.

Through that, he managed to get his hand off, but the skin on his palm was also ripped off, causing insane pain.

“Kuhhh… !! Big… !!”

My red blood started pouring down on the white snow field.

My face was crumpled from the pain to the point that tears automatically flowed out, but there was no time to stop because of the pain.

“Ah… !!”

Dozens of ice spears flying this way again.

I took off my shoes clinging to the ice spears and quickly rolled across the ground to avoid the spears.

Then I got up again, dragged my limp leg, and ran to get as far as I could.

1 Second. We need to buy more time, even if it’s just one second… !

“Stupid human! Did you really think you could run away from me?”

“Sobbing?!”

An ice wolf that had reached me before I knew it.

I aim my shotgun at the wolf’s cold eyes, but……

“A pitiful thing.”

“Aagh!!”

A part of my hand, as well as the shotgun, was ripped off by the wolf’s claws.

Cybaal!! It hurts! It hurts!! It hurts… !!

“I thought that there was something special about the fact that humans signed a contract with divine beasts, but after all, a small thing is a small thing…….”

“Kuheugh… !! Shut up! Mutt… !! Like you said, I’m not special! I’m just a weak human, a human who can’t do anything in front of you divine beasts… !”

“You must have been a man without courage to admit your own weakness.”

“That’s right, I’m a human without even the spirit! But what about this? Did you just take a shot at that stupid human being? Isn’t it like you’ve proven yourself to be the weakest of the divine beasts? hahahahaha!!”

From the end to the end, I decided to laugh at the wolf.

So, he raised his half hand, which was trembling with pain, as much as he could, making the Chinese character for mountain (mountain) and presenting it to the wolf.

“Really, you are an ugly human being to the end.”

“Think on your own. After all, you’re going to live with the dishonor of being a mongrel mongrel bastard who got a shot at a pathetic human.”

“…… My thoughts have changed, it’s a waste of my mouth to eat a filthy human like you. Just die, human.”

Ice awls and spears are being created one by one around me.

In the end, I ended up in a state of checkmate with no place to escape or escape.

“Haa~ Is it over… ….”

“It’s over, human.”

The spears and awls fired all at once.

If I stay like this, my body will probably become like cheese with holes in it.

A truly bleak and terrible ending, but…….

“You stupid bastard. The end is you, not me.”

“What… ?”

The chunks of ice pouring towards me were all shattered as soon as they were blocked by the transparent barrier.

As evidence of that, ice powder was flying around me.

“What, what?! What is this?!”

“Kyuyi!!”

“Tia… !”

A baby dragon quickly flies towards me and is held in my arms.

Looking at the tears welling up in his small eyes, he must have been worried while seeing me in a mess.

“Quit!”

“It’s okay, this much is bearable.”

Actually, it hurt to the point where I felt dizzy, but I smiled and patted the dragon’s head so Tia wouldn’t worry.

Ah, because part of his hand is gone, he can’t even stroke it properly.

I’m sorry…….

“Thanks, Tia. Did you save me from despair?”

“Quit!”

The moment the ice spears were about to stab you.

Tia was able to survive thanks to the rapid rotation of the air around me, which created a wind shield fast enough to shatter the ice.

It was a bit risky, so it was cold, but I was really happy to survive and reunite with the cute baby dragon.

“A dragon that can control air… A tough opponent.”

If I were to ask who has the most power among my companion animals, it would definitely be Tiada.

It’s not that other divine beasts aren’t strong, but prophecy lacked pure power, and hallucinations and materialization abilities were limited.

On the other hand, Tia’s ability was to simply manipulate the air, and as simple as it was, the ability was strong and destructive.

In that sense, as Hati who handles ice, Tia could be said to be a difficult opponent.

Just…….

“But a baby dragon that hasn’t grown yet, I think it’s worth a fight.”

“You are not a wolf after all, are you? Are you just a stupid mutt?”

It wasn’t Tia’s role to deal with him.

“Shut up! Humans!! You can’t do anything on your own and have to rely on Shinsoo!!”

“Before you get so angry, please look up at the sky.”

“Sky… ?”

Beautiful night sky with falling meteor shower.

If there is a person who is full of emotions, he is probably making a wish by now.

“What is the sky like! Human!!”

“You haven’t seen it yet? Look over there.”

I pointed out a part of the sky that was getting brighter with my only remaining middle finger, and the ice wolf finally looked that way.

Soon, the wolf’s eyes widened in disbelief, and the wolf’s face filled with astonishment.

The reason why the sky, which had to be dark to be normal, was gradually getting brighter.

Out of countless meteor showers, just one meteor had deviated from its path and was coming down exactly where we are.

It’s on its way through the atmosphere, so it must be burning so brightly.

“Nonsense… !! Calling a meteorite?! There’s no way anyone has that ability… !!”

No matter how much I say no, no matter how much I deny reality, the meteorite that falls to this place will not disappear.

After all, this wolf is destined to die from being hit by a meteorite.

“Hey mutt. You say swallowing the moon is your dream?”

The situation is now reversed.

I managed to hold on and that wolf was in danger of dying.

Then the only thing left for me now is to laugh at the wolves.

“Then, where did you try swallowing that first! You damn mutt!”

That meteorite presumed to have been created by my proud companions is really……

It was big and beautiful.
