Episode 60

‘I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.’

Originally, Lionel’s plan was to take the wolf pup and lure the giant wolves to the cliff, then jump off with them.

Then the giant wolves would follow him down the cliff without hesitation.

It was a gamble he could take because of the oracle from God. After all, he wouldn’t die.

But as Lionel arrived at the edge of the cliff and waited for the giant wolves to get close enough, Blue Bird suddenly burst out of his arms and cast magic.

“Piiiiit!”

The moment it stiffened its long tail feathers and let out an intense cry from its beak, a massive circular wall of flames exploded upward, surrounding the giant wolves.

A giant prison of fire that perfectly trapped the giant wolves was created before Lionel’s eyes.

However, the menacingly surging flames didn’t burn a single hair on Lionel’s head.

This was different from the magic on the bow that Cecilia had given him.

The security magic on the bow didn’t burn Lionel because he was registered as the bow’s owner.

There was only one fire magic that could selectively burn specific targets without going through such procedures.

Hellfire.

A vicious magic that wouldn’t burn unwanted targets, but would burn intended targets to ash.

Right now it was burning the natural objects around the giant wolves rather than targeting them directly, but the moment that Blue Bird aimed at the giant wolves, they would inevitably burn to death.

Only the caster could extinguish that fire.

‘But shouldn’t Hellfire be on the list of forbidden spells?’

Spirit familiars, made by tearing off fragments of a mage’s soul, could freely use any magic their master knew, provided they had sufficient magical power.

Since Cecilia wouldn’t know the situation here, this magic must have been Blue Bird’s independent decision.

‘Does it have enough intelligence to deliberately use this magic, knowing that fire is the giant wolves’ weakness?’

That was right. The giant wolves’ only weakness was fire.

Their hide was tough enough to deflect arrows and sword blades, but they were weak to fire.

Even now, the giant wolves trapped in the fire prison couldn’t dare think of breaking through those thick flames and were circling around inside.

Then, thinking this couldn’t continue, they howled threateningly at Blue Bird floating in the air.

“Krrroooong!”

“Piit!”

One wolf leaped up from where it stood, jumping high to attack Blue Bird.

But Blue Bird avoided the wolf’s leap with light wing beats, then made the flames more intense to threaten the giant wolves.

As the flames closed in, the wolves began clustering together in confusion toward the center.

The larger ones pushed the relatively smaller and younger wolves inward, becoming shields for them on the outside.

However, since blocking with their bodies wouldn’t extinguish the flames, at this rate they would all inevitably die.

Did the wolves reach the same conclusion?

Finally, the wolf presumed to be the pack leader of the giant wolves knelt and bowed its head toward Blue Bird.

This was the first time seeing such behavior.

While Lionel was surprised, the other giant wolves inside howled even more fiercely at Blue Bird.

But as the flames closed in further and the outer wolves suffered from the heat, they eventually began kneeling following their leader.

‘Ah, I see.’

If there had been only one wolf here, it would have fought to the end even if it meant death.

But when trying to kill an entire pack with strong bonds, they would submit like this to save each other.

‘So giant wolves could be subdued this way too.’

While Lionel was impressed, Blue Bird, which had been triumphantly circling in the air, hesitated as if surprised.

“Pit….”

When the giant wolves were threatening, it had puffed up its down feathers stiffly to show its own authority, but now that they all knelt to save each other, its heart seemed to soften.

Eventually, Blue Bird pulled the flames back a little.

Lionel didn’t think this was strange. That Blue Bird was a clone made from fragments of Cecilia’s soul.

‘If it intended to kill them, it would have burned those wolves from the start.’

Lionel put down the wolf pup he had been holding.

Even while gasping and dying, its eyes glared at Lionel with fierce intensity.

Of course, it wasn’t threatening at all.

Ignoring the wolf pup’s whimpering, Lionel took out a small medicine bottle tied to his waist and poured its contents over the wolf’s wounds.

“Kiing…!”

The wounds that had pierced the struggling small body healed, and the bleeding stopped.

After confirming the wolf pup’s wounds were completely healed, Lionel took out a second medicine bottle and poured its contents into the wolf pup’s mouth.

The wolf pup struggled, trying not to drink it. But it couldn’t help swallowing the holy water that flowed into its mouth.

“…Kiing?”

The holy water’s effect was immediate. The wolf pup, whose stamina had been depleted, could now stand on all four legs.

The wolf pup that had been hopping around tried to run straight to its mother. However, the wall of fire blocked the way.

“Kiing, king….”

Did it realize that Lionel had saved its life, or did it recognize that he was the only one who could extinguish this fire?

The wolf pup whimpered and rubbed its body against Lionel’s feet. Then Blue Bird, which had been circling in the air, came down and chirped fiercely.

“Pit! Pipipipi!”

At the sharp threat that it would peck with its beak if the pup didn’t move away quickly, the wolf pup hurriedly separated from Lionel.

Satisfied with this, Blue Bird perched on Lionel’s head and made a “Pit!” sound. As if claiming this human was its territory and shouldn’t be carelessly invaded.

Lionel, who couldn’t know about the communication between the beasts, watched the wolf pup circling around him and spoke to Blue Bird on his head.

“Couldn’t you open a path so that pup can return to its parents?”

“…Pit!”

Blue Bird pondered for a moment, then generously nodded its head.

With Blue Bird’s light wing beat, the flames parted, and the wolf pup immediately ran back into its mother’s embrace.

“Kiing!”

“Krrrung….”

As the injured wolf pup returned in healthy condition, the blade-sharp intensity of the wolves also softened considerably.

Then, Lionel’s and the pack leader’s eyes met.

“Krung….”

He could clearly feel intelligence shining in those black pupils.

It certainly wasn’t an ordinary beast. Understanding roughly what the giant wolf wanted to say, Lionel asked Blue Bird again.

“Please cancel the magic. So they can return to their habitat.”

“Piit?”

“It’s okay. This wasn’t a fight they wanted in the first place.”

“…Pit!”

Blue Bird flew in circles above the giant wolves’ heads, pointing once at its own eyes with its wing as if to say it was watching, then once at them, before canceling the magic.

The relentlessly burning flames disappeared in an instant.

“Krrroooong!”

The wolf with the second-largest build after the pack leader was the first to retreat and clear a path, followed by the wolf pup’s mother carrying the pup by the scruff of its neck.

“Awoooo!”

After a brief series of howls from several giant wolves, the other wolves began following behind.

As if to guard the rear of the group, the pack leader remained until the very end.

“Krung….”

The pack leader bowed its head once toward Lionel, then carefully approached him.

And it pulled out one of its claws and offered it to Lionel.
