《My Story in the Otherworld》Chapter 12
Advertisement
It seems that even though the Plague Wolves are named after the Plague Prairie, they are not so easily found. Even now after an hour passed after we arrived here, we have not even found a single pack.
"Lyka, what's going on? I can't seem to see even a cub here!"
"Hmmm, this is weird, normally, the Plague Prairie is swarming with Plague Wolves and I don't think anyone would clear them out because the only part that will sell is the Plague Wolf's heart and that is for alchemy. Otherwise since everything in their body is riddled with disease, they are not worth any money!"
"Is there a special monster nearby?"
"I don't know, but whatever it is it's scaring off the Plague Wolves,"
After a couple of minutes more of searching, we find a pack of around 20 Plague Wolves that looked extremely skinny and just lethargic in general. We hide and I looked into their stats and every single adult looked like this.
Plague Wolf: Level 35 (Starving)
HP: 600/1200
Attack: 100 (Decreased due to hunger)
Defense: 150 (Decreased due to hunger)
Speed: 150 (Decreased due to hunger)
Skills: Swipe, Intimidating Howl, Infectious Bite
EXP given: 600*30= 18000
Due to a mysterious beast within the Plague Prairie eating all the prey, the Plague wolves have nothing left to eat thus leaving many to starve.
When I looked in the center, it seemed that there were cubs as well.
Plague Wolf Cub: Level 20 (Semi-Starving)
HP: 600/1000
Attack: 50 (Decreased due to hunger)
Defense: 100 (Decreased due to hunger)
Speed: 150 (Decreased due to hunger)
Skills: Swipe, Infectious Bite
EXP given when defeated: 300*30=9000
As their parents give most of their catches to them, the cubs are only semi starving and have a bit more energy.

"Lyka, these wolves, they look like they are starving,"
"What happened?! Plague Wolves should be one of the top predators in the Plague Prairie! No one dares eat them due to their meat being riddled of diseases. Furthermore, since they are in a pack, a group of platinum adventurers would only be able to defeat them with quite a bit of effort. All in all, other predators would leave the wolves' prey alone and go for something else.
"It seems that a formidable predator came in to the prairie though. There's not other reasons for the wolves to be this starved,"
"*Sigh* I do not want to kill them, but for the sake of the mission..."
Lyka and I immediately went moving. As the wolves saw us, their eyes turned red and except the cubs and a few wolves, the rest started to charge towards us, but since they were starving, their speed was a lot slower than mine.
AWOOOOOOO!
The wolves started to howl and even though I was excited at the same time, I was shivering. As the wolves finished their howling, a system notification popped out.
Adventurer has now been intimidated by the howls. Your attack and defense is reduced by 10 and your speed has now reduced by 20.
"Holy shit, even when they are starving, that's a lot of stats, they took out!"
Luckily for me, the effects did not stack so even if 13 wolves howled at me, it did not decrease my stats by that much.
"Lyka, I'm depending on you to support me!"
"Alright, go wild!"
I immediately used Draw II and the wind blade caught out 1 Plague Wolf.
Puchi!

Awoooo!
The Plague Wolf that got caught out immediately died and the rest of the wolves that saw this became even angrier than before.

Adventurer has killed a Plague Wolf. However, since adventurer is still in the middle of battle, further notification and EXP will be given after battle is over.
I got back into concentration and immediately used Fiery Blade on my sword. My sword was engulfed by fire once again and unlike Mr. Cado, who looked at my sword like it was child play, the wolves were actually afraid and started to look at it cautiously.
From behind, it seemed that Lyka was starting to use her magic as well.
"Ring of Fire!"
Around me and the 12 wolves, a circle of fire showed and the Plague Wolves seeing this tried to jump out, but whenever the wolves tried to jump out, flame rose right in front of it preventing it from escaping. Seeing that they were distracted, I immediately go and slash 3 wolves who could not react in time.
Puchi!
Puchi!
Puchi!

AWOOOOOOOO!
All three Plague Wolves immediately fell and seeing this, all the other 9 Plague wolves immediately became desperate and all jumped towards me in all directions attempting to bite me. However, before their teeth could touch me, I immediately used Sansurrashu to cut through all 9 Plague Wolves.
Puchi!
Puchi!

AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
All 9 Plague Wolves let out a final howl and fell with a large slash wounds on their bodies. As they all died, the circle of fire that Lyka put disappeared and she looked at me with surprise.
"I did not expect you to be able to defeat all 13 of them,"
"They were weakened with hunger. If I lost to that, I might as well quit being an swordsman,"
"Tch, so arrogant. So what are you going to do about the rest of the wolves,"
"*Sigh* I don't want to, but for our mission and for their sake, it's better for me to kill them,"
"Alright if that is your decision, then so be it," Lyka walked towards the 13 dead wolves and started to carefully dissect them to take out the hearts.
I also started to walk towards the other 7 Plague Wolves and cubs who were huddled up together in fear. I started to feel pity for them, but in the end, I sent out my tornado.
Puchi!
Puchi!
Puchi!
Puchi!
Puchi!
Puchi!
Puchi!

The rest of the wolves were torn apart and they did not let out a sound before they laid down with their guts leaking out.
I looked away and after a couple of minutes, Lyka came to my side and started to dissect the wolves I killed with my tornado.
After she was done, we left to find a new pack to kill.
"So, cub hearts are ok as well?"
"Yeah, since it's only the size, people don't really care so as long as it doesn't say that there is no cub heart allowed, then it's valid to bring those in,"
"*Sigh*," We started to walk gloomily to find the next pack.

The Queen's Guard
Friedrich Schreiner is a proud gefreiter of the Queen's Guard, 2nd Company: the finest fighting infantry on the continent (barring the Temple Guard; but please don't bring that up). Service is honourable but, with the Empire on a peacetime footing, terribly boring. Affairs take a dramatic turn for the worse when a mysterious invader uses a forgotten and taboo magical means to breach the capital, plunging the nation into chaos and endangering the royal family. With events spiraling out of control, Friedrich is entrusted with a critical mission. Will hot lead, cold steel, and his determination be enough to see him through? The Queen's Guard is what I'm calling a black powder fantasy story: it's set in a loose equivalent of the early 18th century (plus or minus a few pieces I decided I wanted or didn't want). Magic exists, but not in a spell-slinging sort of way: it's Earth-shaking undertakings or minor enchantments forged in by master craftsmen, the grand working of a secretive cabal or a slight nudge to the course of a blow. I, the eternal optimist, have a full trilogy in mind. The first book is The Prince's Arquebusier, hence the cover and the title disagreeing! This is my shot at 2021's NaNoWriMo and RR Writathon! I've hitherto been terrible at writing long-form fiction, so this is an effort to break out of that by having some accountability in being supposed to post chapters regularly. Here's hoping it works! I have an outline, but not too much detail. I'll do my best to avoid continuity errors, doing anything glaringly stupid, or otherwise fluffing my lines, but I can't make any promises on that. Please do let me know any feedback! Always happy to improve. [participant in the Nov 2021 Royal Road Writathon challenge]

If you are easily offended by such things please tread carefully. I made sure it only lightly touched the subject.*May contain graphic descriptions of death and gore.*May contain sensual material not appropriate for younger audiences.****Mature Warning****#As a side note I want to thank many fellow members of the community for continuous welcoming constructive criticism. If not for members of the community my writing capabilities as an author would be rather lacking. I'm am still improving my writing and I will constantly be going back and changing previous chapters to provide better readability, personality, and intrigue.
