My Players Are So Fierce

Its breathing became rapid, the beautiful future was beckoning.

“This is it, this door.”

Hog quickly found a hidden stone door at the place the King of Bone Biting had instructed. It was reinforced with the voodoo magic of the Wolf People, only a specific way could open it. A wrong opening would awaken the spiritual bodies sealed in the surrounding stones to devour the intruders completely.

The Wise Wolf took a deep breath and knocked on the stone door seven times with a specific frequency. Then, amidst the surrounding tremors, the stone door slowly opened, revealing an iron gate that did not look like a mortal creation at all, identical to the one at the Marsh Museum.

Even Murphy got excited upon seeing this thing.

They found the right place!

The second place of creation was close at hand.

“Open it.”

Murphy urged, and Hog nodded, taking out the Civilization Slate of the Wolf People from his personal pouch. This thing was the key to opening the Civilization Museum.

Like the other museum, to get in, one first had to gain authorization from within.

The creator’s things were always so full of formalism.

With Murphy’s complaints, Hog placed the slate into the slot in front of the door. A blue light scanned the slate and then scanned Hog, who spread his claws wide in a religious holy gesture. Amid the beeping confirmation sound, the authorization for the place of creation was completed.

“Welcome back, esteemed representative of civilization!”

The electronic sound made Hog’s tail wag. He coughed and issued a command:

“Please open the door! Guardian.”

“Sealing procedure ended, Civilization Museum opening, please wait.”

The pleasant electronic voice of a lady sounded again.

But after waiting several minutes, the steel door before them remained closed, as if a program had gotten stuck.

Murphy, Triss, and Hog looked at one another, along with the Grey Wolf Army guards eagerly waiting for a miracle, finding themselves confused, the air filled with awkwardness.

“Uh, maybe there’s a program error, let me try.”

Murphy stepped forward, breaking the awkwardness. He placed the Universal Device in front of the authentication device of the door. After the electronic voice scanned, it quickly changed to a more respectful and sycophantic tone:

“Welcome to the Civilization Museum of the Jackalman for guidance, esteemed Administrator Alpha Director! Special authorization procedure for the museum has been activated, and the site’s highest management temporarily transferred to your authority tree.”

“Very well, Guardian, please open the door.”

Murphy nodded with satisfaction and issued the command.

“Please wait.”

The electronic voice responded again.

But after a few more minutes, the door still showed no sign of opening.

This time Murphy frowned, turning to the people behind him:

“Something’s wrong, there’s another authority inside the museum preventing us from opening the door! There’s something inside, prepare for battle! I’m going to force it open.”

“Can your administrator privileges be used like this?”

Triss asked, surprised.

She didn’t know there was such a thing as forcibly opening the door within the creator system. Hey, don’t mess around, considering the security measures at the museum over there, forcibly causing damage might end up getting crushed by this creation site’s security system.

“I have a unique way to open the door, just wait and see.”

Murphy flashed a mysterious smile, tossing his Core Bead up and down before placing it beside a certain port by the museum door.

In a voice only he could hear, he whispered:

“How embarrassing, so help me out, Eden… I know you’re there.”

No one responded to him.

But at that moment, an invisible force quietly began to operate, easily hacking into the century-unchanged data system of the Civilization Museum, casually invoking a console command hidden beneath the normal structure, and executing it directly in the museum door’s control system through Administrator Alpha’s advanced authorization, bypassing the firewall.

A few seconds later, accompanied by the sound of clicks, the closed metal door slowly opened before everyone.

“Please proceed, representative of civilization.”

Murphy, adopting a “mission-successful swagger,” retrieved his Core Bead, politely gesturing to Hog to proceed.

The Wise Wolf marveled at how his master was always so impressive yet low-key. He ceremoniously adjusted the robe he had changed back into, stepping first into the well-lit corridor before them with excitement.

But just as Hog stepped forward, Triss and Murphy moved almost simultaneously.

The Crimson Witch shot a bolt of lightning forward, while Murphy dashed forward and pulled Hog away.

In that same second, a hidden humanoid suddenly appeared, with rocket-boosted power, smashing a hammer fiercely at the spot where Hog had just been. The terrifying impact and vibration prompted the surrounding Wolf People guards to roar, rushing to protect the Wise Wolf. Triss’s lightning also bound the mysterious attacker in place.

Electrocuted and unable to move, it refused to retreat even a step, still holding the burning war hammer, standing its ground with outstretched claws.

It roared:

“Intruders! This is the sacred land of the King of Bone Biting, retreat! I am the king’s loyal servant and Lord Felix’s brother, commanded by the king to guard this place! You are not allowed to pass!”

“?”

This roar made Murphy raise an eyebrow, and the Demon Sword already in flight halted silently just before the forehead of the figure, just a second away from piercing this fellow’s skull.
