“!”
I turned my body in an instant and narrowly escaped the bird attacking me from above.
As I dodged, the bird fell down, then flew up again at a frightening speed and chased after me.
‘No way!’
That kind of speed. Is that bird a knight of Raniero?
A normal bird clan couldn’t have the speed to catch up with Raniero.
As Raniero is the head of the family, our physical ability is superior to that of other bird clans.
However, the bird that was following closely behind me was moving at such an incredible speed that it seemed as if it would catch up with me at any moment.
With a huge beak wide open, he flicked his head to snatch my tail feathers.
‘I can’t take this bird to the mansion.’
If I get to the mansion, the knights or other wolves remaining in the mansion will have to take care of the bird.
“Kweeek—!”
This bird had now lost its mind. This means that it is a very difficult state to control.
So even if the wolves took control, there was a chance that some people would get hurt.
‘I have to go away.’
As I flew hastily, I glanced around.
Fortunately, other than this bird, there were no other birds chasing me.
But if I kept flying with this bird on my back, someone would see me, and another bird clan might come after me.
“!”
At that time, fortunately, a huge tree came into view.
It looked like two tree trunks twisted together, and there was a hole in the middle.
A hole that I can escape through, but that big bird can’t get through.
‘Now that he has lost his mind, he can’t think of avoiding obstacles.’
If he lost his mind, he would only chase his goal like a beast, so no matter what I did, he would try to chase me.
I flapped my wings and quickly flew towards the huge tree.
Sure enough, the huge bird followed closely behind me.
‘Good.’
I held on tighter to the holy relic of Yeckhart that I was holding in my feet and flew faster and faster.
And I passed through the hole.
Bang—!
There was a loud noise as the huge bird hit the tree. The leaves fell to the bottom of the rainforest tree, and all the insects that had been living in the trees fell.
I quickly flew through it and got out.
The huge bird hit its head against the tree at an alarming speed, so it would take some time for it to catch up with me.
Sure enough, when I looked back, I couldn’t see the huge bird chasing me.
After feeling relieved, I moved my wings more vigorously.

“We’re in big trouble, Sanctuary, Sanctuary!”
A maid came running in with Kendrick’s letter and said,
Ethan, the head butler, accepted the letter in the hand of the maid.
“Something happened to the sanctuary…”
They were a little tired.
The festival period wasn’t over yet, and Kendrick, Arsene, and Lincy hadn’t even returned, but problems started popping up here and there.
Beasts who lost their minds appeared simultaneously throughout the territory.
Ethan first informed Kendrick of this, and he wrote a letter saying he should come back soon.
The territory was becoming a mess with beastmen who had lost their senses.
Yeckhart’s knights who remained in the mansion quickly dispersed to subdue the beastmen who had lost their minds.
‘It’s not enough.’
Kendrick had to be there.
How could something like this happen while the head of the family was away!
Until then, Ethan thought this was only happening in wolf territory.
He had no idea that something like this was happening in every clan’s territory.
Because of this, worry appeared on Ethan’s face.
This was because he thought that if this fact became known, the wolf clan would be criticized by other clans.
The good news was that no beastmen who had lost their minds had yet entered the mansion.
‘But it’s only a matter of time.’
Since there was no protection from the holy relics, there would be no way to stop the beastmen who had lost their minds if they came in.
The knights will do their best to defend, but…
Ethan sighed.
Kendrick didn’t allow them to kill the beastmen who lost their minds. He always gave orders to capture them alive.
Naturally, capturing them alive was more cumbersome than killing them, so about six or seven knights were often mobilized to complete a task that could have been completed with just one or two knights.
And even now, without Kendrick, the knights were trying to subdue the beastmen who had lost their minds instead of killing them, as Kendrick ordered.
The problem is that there are too many beastmen who have lost their minds to do that now.
Ethan sighed.
Kendrick took Yeckhart’s holy relic with him to check it out at the festival.
Because of that, in the mansion…
‘There is no protection from the holy relic.’
Nine holy relics owned by nine clans.
The holy relic contained God’s protection, a sign similar to God’s blessing.
As long as the holy relic stays strong and well, it is a protection that prevents any evil power from entering a certain radius around the place where the holy relic is located.
However, because the criteria for what constitutes a supernatural power are vague, some people sometimes forget that God’s protection exists.
However, now the number of beastmen who have lost their minds are appearing simultaneously.
‘God’s protection is desperately needed.’
Ethan opened the letter.
It was a letter from Kendrick that he had just received.
As expected, his handwriting is neat and has the appearance of being written quickly.
The story was that there was a rapid increase in the number of beastmen in the sanctuary who had lost their minds, so his return home would most likely be delayed.
Additionally, it was written that since Arsene and Linsy were sent back first, so take care of them.
Ethan opened his eyes wide after reading the letter.
“Even the sanctuary? No way, that can’t be…”
A sanctuary is a sacred place that is closest to God.
It was a very ominous sign that beastmen who had lost their minds suddenly began to appear in such a place.
Moreover, since it is still the festival season, it seems clear that there will be more victims one after another.
At that time.
“Huh? Sir Ethan!”
One of the maids looked outside, widened her eyes and pointed her finger at the sky.
“O, over there!”
***
‘It’s really hard.’
I stopped moving my wings for a moment, almost panting.
The wind was blowing well toward Yeckhart, so I could go to Yeckhart’s mansion without moving my wings.
Fortunately, there was no bird clan chasing me.
The situation seemed to be better than the sanctuary, which was in complete disarray.
Thanks to my frantic flight, the Yeckhart Mansion soon came into view in the distance.
I used a little more strength and flapped my wings faster.
The flight was so crazy that when I thought I was almost there, I was dizzy and almost passed out.
But since I couldn’t fall down when everyone came, I opened my eyes wide.
Employees were seen out in the yard of the Yeckhart mansion.
‘Have they found me?’
I slowly turned my tail feathers and wings and flew slowly to land in the yard.
The workers were waiting for me in the yard.
Among them was Ethan.
I finally landed in the yard of the mansion, sighing in relief at the sight of a familiar face.
And,
“Chirp!”
The moment my feet touch the ground,
Pong–!
I release my bird form.
Light green smoke and reddish smoke were mixed together and spread out, but no one cared because they were distracted.
“Lady, are you okay?”
Ethan rushed over and checked my condition.
I was so tired that I wanted to collapse at any moment, but I nodded with all my might.
“Yes, I, I am fine. But Arsene is in the sanctuary…”
“Please calm down and then tell me. Let’s get some water first.”
Ethan gestured, and a maid handed me cool water.
After quickly drinking the water, I put the glass down and ran my hair down.
“Arsene and the knights are still on the border of Sanctuary. The beastmen who lost their minds attacked…”
Did he escape safely now?
Since there is a shadow wolf, it may have been easier to defeat than expected.
I pushed aside my worries and showed Ethan the box containing the holy relic that I had been holding in my hand the entire time.
“And father said we should put it back where it was…”
Ethan immediately guessed what it was just by looking at the box.
This is because a large emblem symbolizing Yeckhart was drawn on the outside of the box.
“It’s a holy relic! Come this way, lady. The holy relic must be returned.”
“Will I return it?”
“Of course, unless you are a member of Yeckhart, you can’t access the altar.”
Ethan took me and hurried to the basement. The maids followed one after another.
Deep underground.
Ethan took me into the depths which I had never been before.
I held the holy relic tightly in my hand and walked forward, swallowing the saliva in my dry mouth.
And finally,
“This is where Yeckhart’s altar is. Lady.”
I have reached the place where the holy relic will be returned.
“!”
I turned my body in an instant and narrowly escaped the bird attacking me from above.
As I dodged, the bird fell down, then flew up again at a frightening speed and chased after me.
‘No way!’
