"Yuri! Run! Run!"

"Stop being stupid!"

"..."

Without hesitation, Yuri picked up the two boys in front of him and forcibly took them out of the mansion despite their crying and struggling.

He knew that the one who did it was the executioner who had returned from the Federation, the "Scavenger" Ivar Sekpas, the man who had reached the top of the Tower of Babel in the competition.

He is the [Blade of Babel], the agent.

And the person who truly dominates all this will be here soon.

At least keep the children alive.

"Let's go! Let's go!"

"No! Let me go, Lianna! Daddy!"

Pace cried and struggled, but was held in the old butler's iron arms and could not move.

He had never realized that this butler, who looked to be approaching his seventies, had such great power, and he had no time to pay attention.

......

"Take out all the wine, sort the older ones, and send them to my warehouse!"

"Yes, sir, what about the body?"

"Can't you just find a random place to throw it away? Damn, will you do anything?"

"..."

In the manor, Venia proudly commanded his soldiers to clean up the remains of the Monarch family.

He had his eye on the wine in the cellar, and that was all.

The wind and snow once again swept across the outline of the Wanren Mountain, covering everything, covering the sky and the earth, and erasing all traces.

On a mountain peak not far away, a tall figure wrapped in steel was overlooking the Monarch Manor. There was no light in his black eyes, but there was a chill as cold as the wind and snow.

At this moment, a sound that cut through the air came from behind him——

"Om-"

A sharp blade stopped at Mikhail's neck, but he remained motionless, overlooking the scenery below the mountain top, with only the corner of his mouth twitching slightly:

"It's been a long time again."

"Why...even the children are killed!"

Yuri was wearing a white robe, but no giant armor. He knew that his stealth was very poor and Mikhail had already discovered him.

Mikhail did not answer Yuri's question. He took off his gloves and grasped the steel blade against his neck with his bare hands. Blood flowed down the blade and dripped into the snow:

"You should question why Carl Monarch couldn't protect his own children."

"You are a monster! I actually mistook you for the White Wolf!" Yuri roared, "I should never have had any hope in you!"

"We have made our choice, that's all," Mikhail said solemnly, "The weak will be eliminated, and everything that is useless to unification will be eliminated."

"Then eliminate me! Come on!" Yuri shouted in an old voice, "Eliminate me! Use your hands!"

He moved swiftly, pulled out the cold steel knife from Mikhail's waist, and stabbed him hard in the back.

“Ka-chi——”

The cold steel blade pierced through the armor and stabbed into Mikhail's back - he did not dodge.

Yuri's pupils suddenly widened. He obviously didn't expect Mikhail to not even dodge, and there was not even any sign of taking action.

He let go of the knife, staggered back two steps, and stared at Mikhail blankly.

"why?"

In the wind and snow, Mikhail slowly turned around and stared at Yuri with cold eyes.

Just like when he was on the ice field that blocked out the sun, his expression remained as motionless as a sculpture.

"Yuri, the White Wolf was always just an illusion of yours (Thebite)."

Mikhail's voice was low and his eyes were dull.

"I told you there was no such thing as a direwolf."

He pulled the cold steel knife from his waist, threw it at Yuri's feet, and then walked past Yuri.

As they passed by each other, he spoke softly:

"The tower is coming for all of us. Protect yourself, old friend (Thebitten)."

The moment he heard this, Yuri turned his head sharply and looked at Mikhail's back.

But he saw nothing. All he saw before him was a vast expanse of white snow and wind, just like the day he fled from his hometown.

"Mikhail?" Yuri murmured in a low voice.

At this moment, a vague shadow appeared at the end of the wind and snow, flickering like a candle in the wind.

Yuri squinted his eyes, trying his best to focus his vision, and then his heart skipped a beat——

——Those were a pair of ice-blue eyes, flickering in the blizzard, both unreal and real.

"..."

At the end of the blizzard, a giant wolf covered in pure white hair turned around and looked at Yuri.

Then it turned and left, disappearing into the edge of the blizzard and out of Yuri's sight.

Yuri tried to catch up, but his foot suddenly tripped and he fell to his knees in the snow.

He just knelt on the snow-covered cliff, just as he had done before, with his head raised and not saying a word.

......

Extra) Ice Wolf (Part 14)

"In the minds of our ancestors, wolves are sacred and can survive even in the harshest winter..."

"Following their footsteps, our ancestors traveled all over the Wanren Mountain and opened up a brand new world..."

"After wolves gradually became extinct, the descendants of our ancestors walked out of Wanren Mountain and faced the true face of the world."

“They abandoned those barbaric means, gradually armed themselves with civilized brains, and stepped onto the chessboard of the world.”

"Mikhail's thoughts transcended his time. He was the first to lay down his fangs and claws, turning the storm in his brain into a gale that swept across the mountains and reshuffled the entire era."

"He made his choice, and I made mine."

"But now, it's time to shuffle the cards again, isn't it?"

"..."

On the streets of Loton, Lesev opened his arms and stood in front of Yelena and a young girl, panting.

The surface of [Prototype-06 "Steel Spine"] was covered with traces of burning, and half of Lesev's elbow was also broken, and the flesh there had been burned to a charred color.

Opposite him, a tall girl was standing. Her face was covered by shadows, but her eyes were flashing with frightening golden light, and along with the flames lingering around her body, she created a strong pressure.

"Go... Yelena... Go..."

Lesev turned his head gasping for breath, and his burnt eye reflected Yelena's painful face and her armor that gleamed silver in the moonlight.

"I'll hold back the Red Devil... and take Miss Angela away..."

"Go to Wanren Mountain... As long as we reach Wanren Mountain... they won't be able to..."

"To unite... (Thebite)..."

After saying this, Lesev lifted up the half-melted steel shield with his remaining arm and charged towards the Red Devil with a roar.

Ye Lina held back her tears, picked up Angela Stello, and flew with her to Wanren Mountain.

A few seconds later, a fire that lit up the sky burst out on the streets of Lorton, and a street was reduced to ashes.

"boom...."

After the smoke and dust cleared, Laissef in the ruins stared blankly at the moon in the sky and the shadow with wings spread out under the moonlight.

"Sister... this time... I'll protect you..."

He smiled, his face frozen in the moonlight, remaining in the night of Lorton.

......

“The past will find you at some point, no matter where you go.”

"It's just a matter of one thought whether to go with the flow or go against the flow, but it's never a choice."

"You will always be helpless and have a fire in your heart."

"..."

In the rainy night tavern in Loton, Yuri sat quietly in the corner, staring at the bar in the distance.

A young girl was talking to the descendants of the Monarch family. Her hair was as white as snow and her eyes were as red as blood, as if she was in strong disharmony with the world itself.

"Don't call me little princess... I have a name..."

"My name is Perlis Hafurgard, just call me Perlis."

When Yuri heard the last name "Hafgard", his eyes twitched slightly, as if he had noticed something.

After a brief daze, he smiled gently, looked out the window, and looked along the streets of Lorton on a rainy night towards the Wanren Mountain that blocked out the sky.

On top of the peaks, the iron fortress stands like a dark shadow.

......

"'Run, Yuri, run away', my mother's last scream is still echoing in my mind."

"Oh, since the fire, I have been running away, running until my temples are dyed white by the snow, running until my bones are hardened by the wind..."

"At an old age... people always get tired, don't they?"

“So, I stopped and waited for the storm to hit me head on.”

"..."

"Are you sure you want to play too?"

Inside the Tieling Town Command Building on the East China Sea coast, Vans looked at the fully-armed Yuri with a worried tone in his voice.

"Although I know that you are an accurate shooter, but..."

"Don't worry about me, young master," Yuri said calmly, taking out a factor energy sniper rifle, "One more gun is always a good thing, isn't it?"

He familiarly retrieved the sniper rifle and put it on his back, then pulled out a cold steel knife from his waist and twirled it.

The cold steel still gave off a familiar chill, and even though it was far away from the Wanren Mountain, the breath of a blizzard was still emanating from the blade.

It's a pity... I can't wear [Prototype-15 "White Wolf"], otherwise it will most likely be noticed by Venia Irenfono, and there may be complications.

But enough is enough.

"..."

Yuri put the cold steel knife back to his waist, nodded to Vans, and put on a full-coverage helmet.

"The Dilla people are coming, young master, protect yourself (Thebite)."

After saying this, he jumped out of the window sill with light steps, like a white wolf jumping in a blizzard.

"..."

"That's it, little master. Can I satisfy your curiosity?"

The old butler looked at Vance with a smile, the latter's expression had become indescribable, in short, it was a combination of countless emotions.

After digesting it for a while, Vans sighed softly and said:

"I'm still young."

"This means there is a promising future ahead," the old butler smiled amiably. "You grew up by the fireplace, so it's hard for you to appreciate the harshness of the wind and snow, and it's hard for you to personally experience that turbulent era."

“But you, the new generation of Thebits, are the wave of the new era.”
