Crimson Werewolf

After seeing the children safe and far away from danger, Veil hurried back to the orphanage to take advantage of Morrow's rebellion, ultimately destroying that orphanage in the process.

Badump.

She is also planning to confront Morrow to what he did to Ara and her current whereabouts.

While Veil is moving towards the orphanage, Nort tend to Morrow's major wounds and stood up against Yue with her bladed fans.

Nort uses a spear, so he has a way of attacking Yue even from a farther range.

Shoooook!

Nort stabbed his spear forward and created wind surges similar to Yue's wind blades.

Swing. Stab. Slash. Stab.

The two exchanged slashes and stabs without moving near each other, the wind surges countering each other.

Slash marks appearing all over the place, destroying windows, furniture, and some of the lightbulbs.

One of the wind slash that got repelled went into Porter's direction.

Swing!

With a swing of his free hand, while the other hand holds the controller, he swiped down the wind slash as if it is an insect.

Dang!

Gaining more momentum against the exhausted Yue, Nort moved forward to charge and stab Yue.

Yue, making more wind blades, had to stop, letting some Nort's wind surges pierce her limbs in the process just to black Nort's spear thrust.

In this brief exchange, Porter sensed weakness from Yue's breaths.

She is severely wounded from her trade.

Boom!

Porter dashes towards Yue to help her. Wulve has been bothered by the sudden departure of Porter.

"Cowl, let's go, it is too noisy here."

But before they can jump away, Nort sent wind attacks towards them, halting their movements.

Shuuu shuuu shuuu!

Nort is planning to take everyone down this night. Nort's attacks destroyed the wall further, letting moonlight in.

Little did everyone know, Wulve has a power connected to the moon.

As he unknowingly stared in the moonlight, his body transformed at an abnormal rate, gaining more muscles, growing in size, and getting furs all over his body.

He is a werewolf. Because of his transformation, Wulve has little to no control to who he attacks while transformed.

Awoooooo!

The moonlight transformation causes him to lose perception of his surroundings and just attack wildly.

Wulve will stay this way for another 30 minutes, Porter and Cowl, defending against Nort's attacks, sensed the imminent danger.

"!!!"

They jumped away from Wulve's furious slashes. Wulve's gigantic claws devoured the wall, making one side of the building collapse.

Kaboom! Debris flying everywhere.

"Leave me! I will buy time, help Yue first!" Porter asked cowl.

Seizing this opportunity, Nort jumped towards Yue to intercept Cowl, in the instant moment, Cowl overlooked the wind attacks Nort left earlier, cutting one leg in the process, but he got to Yue first.

Splatter!

As Cowl gathers all his strength in his remaining leg, he prepares to jump away while carrying Yue.

Unfortunately, he was a step too late, Wulve is already coming their way, swiping his claws, Cowl's head flew, and blood rained, the weak Yue fell down the building in the process.

Splashhh!

A metal left in the fallen debris pierced Yue's gut when she fell. Seeing the unexpected events, Porter tried to confront Wulve to gain control.

"Wulve! Control yourself!"

Wulve stopped swiping wildly for a moment, then Nort thrusts his spear towards Wulve's heart.

Stab stab stab!

With his six senses as a werewolf, Wulve stopped Nort's spear just before the spear hits his chest, but he got wounded.

Splatter. Ughhhh. Auuukkk!

The spear pierced Wulve's hand, but as Nort attempts to pull his spear out, he could not, as Wulve's muscles trapped the spear.

Nort had no choice but to abandon his spear.

As Nort is retreating, Morrow suddenly spoke, "This is where we will all die, but my death will not be in vain!"

Morrow suddenly shouted, seemingly to gain rage power, charges towards the panicked Porter to throw him towards the uncontrollable Wulve.

"What are you doing!? Let go!"

As Porter got grabbed by Morrow, Nort lead Wulve in the destroyed side of the building, Morrow then threw Porter's whole person into the opening Nort created.

Wulve, seeing Porter pass him towards to hole, charges without hesitation.

Splatter. Boom!

Before the two could even reach ground, Porter has been shred into pieces by Wulve's sharp claws, however, the fall stunned Wulve temporarily, giving an opportunity for Nort to attack.

Nort picked up another spear handed by his comrage and jumped down to finish Wulve.

Skill: Falling Starlight!

Nort used his strongest move in his arsenal.

However, in the moment Nort is falling to attack Wulve, Wulve pulled out the spear in his hand to throw it towards Nort.

Shuuuung!

Nort, without any more choice but to continue his attack, got his brain pierced by Wulve's strong throw.

Splat!

Morrow jumped down as his rage power hits the ceiling.

He is planning to die and risk everything just to finish off Wulve.

However, he noticed something with Wulve, he is reverting back to his human form. 30 minutes has passed! Wulve has now control in his body. Seeing Morrow's attack, he readies his fists and jumped.

"Round 2!"

Boom. Boom. Kaboom. Bang. Dang. Crack. Thud.

The two fiercely exchange blows; Wulve is slightly faster than the fully raged Morrow.

While the two fight for their lives, Veil has made it back to the orphanage and has been watching in another building.

Wulve, gaining the upper hand, readies his final attack to finish of Morrow, however, in the next instant; he found his arm cleanly cut.

"What!?"

Standing next to Wulve as his vision slightly blur, is a girl with a longsword.

Wulve's arm flew away, blood squirting from his body.

This greatly weakened Wulve, Morrow, on the floor, lifts his head to watch what happened.

He felt like he has been bathed by cold water when he saw Veil standing in between him and Wulve.

"Youuuuu!" Morrow muttered with rage.

Veil's cold eyes glanced into him briefly, and then Veil cut Wulve's head.

Swing! Splash.

As Veil turns around towards the weak Morrow, he could only accept his fate; he got a lot of damage since the beginning of this fight.

Pant pant pant.

He even learned a new power through the consumption of his rage, but in the end, he will die in the hands of the little girl who he belittled years ago.

Veil then asked, "What happened when Ara was dragged away years ago and where did you bring her!?"

Morrow kneels in silence; his breaths are the only thing to be heard in the cold silent night.

Pant pant pant.

As Veil waits, the wind becomes even colder, adding shivers to Morrow's back.

Swing! Bang!

Losing patience, Veil cuts Morrow's legs and punched him in the face.

Morrow felt that punch to his bones, lying flat down on his back against the floor.

Thud!

Veil asked the same question.

Morrow could only shake his head as he says the truth, "I killed that girl that day, it was her punishment."

"…"

After a long silence and rage filling Veil's heart, Veil stabbed Morrow's heart, cracking the whole road.

Stab! Crack!

Finally, she got her revenge for Ara and her years of suffering.

This moment, Veil also freed Ara from her heart.

The long night continues to pass; Veil freed herself from the thoughts.

Clang.

She let go of her sword and removed her mask.

She cried and cried. She is finally out of this rotten place after her whole life.

Her wings were cut the moment she was born, but now, finally, she can regain her freedom to fly and go wherever she wishes to.

"??!!"

As she was wiping her tears, her right eye suddenly lost sight and her left eye gave her weird visions.

She was surprised by what is happening, because this is the very first time she is using her cursed powers granted to her by the spirits of Noir.

After closing her right eye, her left eye calmed down and she focused on to Morrow.

A blade spirit appeared before her, instructing her to call Morrow's soul with her hand.

Wanggggg~

As Veil made a gesture with her hand, a dark orb appeared from Morrow's dead body, and the orb flew into her hand.

She feels an excruciating pain from her muscles to her bones down to all her veins.

This is the curse she got after reading the Noir.

The blade spirits then gathered before her, confirming if she really is ready to embody this curse and fully accept the mission of the Noir.

They needed her flames of resolve, but as Veil nods, they sensed fear themselves from the flames they saw from Veil's heart.

She is fully ready for the mission, without any hesitation.

As the spirits pass their will, Veil stretches her arms and made a prayer.

Through this, Veil can now fully control the Noir arts, summoning things at a single thought and having the power to grow stronger as she absorbs more of the dark power through the orbs, the Dark Soul Fragments.

As the blade spirits explain, the dark orbs are the taints in the hearts of different individuals that get fueled by rage and negative emotions.

Once they reach the threshold, they will develop a Dark Soul Fragment, and slowly get consumed by the darkness and rage.

In Morrow's case, his rage fueled his dark orb and grew only the size of a tennis ball.

'What more if the person has really dark thoughts?'

She then panned her head to Wulve, using her left eye to see if there is a dark orb, but surprisingly enough, there is not an orb.

This gave her a conclusion that Wulve feels no emotions while doing his crimes, he just loves what he is doing.

With all this, the blade spirits fade out, returning Veil to her normal state in which her powers are kept, the marks in her body slowly disappearing.

She finally finished her life-long promise, and now she will become even stronger to purge evil in this world.

Starting in the city of Cilis, she will use her powers to seal off evil and absorb their dark orbs into her.

Carrying out the mission of the people known as Noctua, the ancient people described in the Noir she accepted.

Noctuas draw power from the darkness, but their thirst for power always leads them astray.

This is why the blade spirits made the Noir to guide Noctuas, this time, Veil solely carries their will.
