My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2549 -850: Murphy’s Strange Oath of Allegiance Received (3)

Facing Murphy’s inquiry, it agitatedly flicked its tail and answered hoarsely:

“You can call me number 009.”

“That’s the designation Kant gave you, not your name.”

Murphy shook his head and said:

“Of course, if you want me to talk to you as Kant does, merely seeing you as an experiment, then I have no objections to this title.

So I’ll ask you once more, what is your name?”

“I am called… I am called…”

The old werewolf appeared a bit at a loss, but under Murphy’s gaze, after a few seconds of reflection, it raised its head again and said:

“I am called Marcus!”

“Hmm? Why choose this name?”

Murphy curiously asked.

The old werewolf glanced fearfully at the humming Devil’s Blade in Murphy’s hand and answered honestly:

“When you attacked the base, the first enemy I killed was called ‘Marcus,’ I heard others call him ‘the Warrior of the Blood-Stained Holy Spear,’ maybe he was an important figure?”

“Oh, that unfortunate knight who wanted to dive into any hole he saw, hmm, good name, hopefully you won’t suffer the same bad habits as him.”

The handsome vampire nodded and asked again:

“So, your response to my earlier suggestion is?”

“We don’t want to be destroyed, Vampire… no, Master.”

Werewolf Marcus lowered his head and spoke with some desolation and helplessness:

“We were indeed created by Kant to combat and hunt vampires, but please understand, this is not a fate we could choose. After the initial frenzy subsided, the wisdom that old bastard endowed us began to prevail, I saw your formidable warriors ruthlessly annihilate other creatures in the base, and followed in their shadows I also saw the abominations underground.

In these two days, I have learned a lot.

I know we, like the Ratman, were fashioned as tools of war, born for the purpose of slaughter and ruin, but I witnessed you destroy the evil crystal that controlled the Ratman.

I believe you to be a benevolent leader, and whether we can continue to exist depends entirely on your kindness.

I…

I beseech you!

Please grant us a way to survive, my kin locked in the labs are also innocent, we can leave, depart here forever, find a secluded place where no one knows of, and live quietly, not disturbing the evolution of this world.

I can swear it!”

“Oaths without witnesses or constraints hold no significance, they’re just tricks to deceive the heart.”

Murphy shook his head and said:

“Tell me honestly, how do you reproduce?”

“There are two methods.”

Marcus sensed a potential turn of events, so he answered candidly:

“Kant did not implant the strong reproductive ability of the Wolf People into us to prevent us from falling out of control. However, as biological beings, we can still reproduce through mating.

This method is strictly confined to the mating season, and only pure-blood offspring can be produced through the mating of werewolves.

The other method is inspired by the vampires’ embrace.

Kant introduced some restrictions, as long as we can break through to the silver stage, we can unlock the genetic limitations and expand the Werewolf Race rapidly using the method vampires use to develop Blood Descendants.

But unlike vampires, werewolves did not inherit the power of the Blood Covenant, hence there are no mandatory constraints on offspring.

Moreover, Kant never completed our design, humans transformed into werewolves by a bite are weak, and their minds are plagued by wild instincts. Unless they can suppress these instincts with willpower, lasting growth is unlikely.

Apparently to cooperate with the upcoming actions at dusk, Kant strictly confined those we can infect to humans, our reproductive memes have no effect on the genes of other species.”

“Indeed quite perilous.”

Murphy stroked his chin and said:

“If not handled meticulously, an epidemic of werewolves could arise at any moment; relying solely on your individual willpower cannot prevent this risk, so if I intend to let you survive and share this world, you’ll have to find a sufficiently powerful witness for your vow.

Alright, Marcus, I’ll give you a task.

If you can complete it on time, I might grant the werewolves freedom.”

“Please tell me, I will spare no effort!”

Marcus excitedly replied, but Murphy shook his head and said:

“Don’t be so jubilant just yet, you don’t know what the task involves.

My companion Lady Shani is having a rough time in the Great Wilderness searching for the ‘Eternal Night Winter Wolf’ Eris, that exiled son of the Wolf Father is quite reclusive, unwilling to show himself before others.

Regrettably, it also detests vampires.

So I have to send a messenger capable of contacting it, a wild creature with the power of a wolf; thus I chose you!

I will send you to Bernel City, and you must find Eris in the shortest possible time and seek its aid in the conflict between it, its sister, and father.

I want you all to find yourselves a Father God!

Werewolves, you must use faith as a promise to ensure you won’t cause havoc in this already miserable world, if Old Su Head is willing to accept you into the wolf pack, then I have no objections.

Go.”

Murphy waved a hand, gesturing for the two remaining werewolves to stay obediently in the cage, awaiting either Marcus’s triumphant return or news of his death in the snowy plains.

After Murphy took a few steps, Marcus couldn’t help but ask from behind:

“But… but aren’t you worried about our restraint over the vampires? We are practically predators to the vampires.”

“Predators? You’re overestimating yourselves.”

Murphy chuckled silently, then speaking in a nuanced tone he added:

“There’s nothing wrong with having predators; the food chain must operate this way for healthy development.

You know, some vampires lack manners, are conservative and stubborn, quite annoying; if some kind soul is willing to help me solve these troubles, I would truly appreciate them and offer them precious gifts as thanks.

Like freedom, like dignity…”
