093, Space Wolves: There are no wolves on Fenris (Part 7)

[You open your eyes. Google search reading]

[You feel the fangs growing out of your mouth. ]

[You stare at the always gloomy sky, easily catching the tumbling and spinning snowflakes. ]

[You hear the noise of fur rubbing, the movement of feet stepping on the snow, and the crackling of flames. ]

[You smell a strange human scent, and the aroma of more flesh being roasted. ]

[You jump up with your teeth and claws. ]

[You show your sharp fingertips to the other party and let out a deterrent roar. ]

[On an extremely huge fire, a split Fenris mammoth is being carefully roasted. ]

[A huge figure with a height of nearly four meters has its back to you, as if it doesn't care about your threat at all. ]

[You stare at the other party's tall back and the shawl of blond hair, and fall into hesitation. ]

[You try to suppress your animal instinct. ]

[Your animal instinct vaguely senses the danger of the other party. ]

[The back of that huge figure is like a terrifying abyss, which stops your desire to attack. ]

[Your reason gradually returns. ]

[Just as you hesitated about how to speak, half of the roasted elephant leg suddenly flew through the air and attacked you like a giant cannonball. ]

[You reacted instantly. ]

[You caught the hot elephant leg and opened your mouth to bite the food desperately. ]

["Use your will to shape your thoughts... Don't let your instinct control everything." A low voice like the roar of a volcano penetrated the drifting wind and snow and slowly entered your ears. ]

[You suddenly stopped eating. ]

[You couldn't help but open your eyes wide. ]

[You stared at the familiar face of the other party that was almost everywhere in the Wolf Fang Castle, and fell into extreme shock. ]

[For a moment, you seemed to have forgotten how to chew food. ]

[Even the hot elephant leg in your hand fell on the snow, making a sizzling sound of melting fat. ]

["Le... Great Wolf Lord!" You knelt on one knee and made a hoarse voice. ]

[The other party's huge body was wearing a slightly tattered and old fine power armor. ]

[A black wolfskin cloak that seemed to have experienced endless years of invasion fell behind him. ]

[The wolf king Leman Russ's vicissitudes and deep eyes fell on you, and his face full of frost had a gentle expression. ]

["Little cub, is Bjorn okay?" The other party asked softly. ]

[You subconsciously blinked your eyes when you heard the wolf king's inquiry. ]

[You have not seen Bjorn since you came to the Wolf Fang Castle.

[You have only heard the legendary story of the last Russ guard. ]

[You told the wolf king what you knew about Bjorn. 】

【When the other party heard that Bjorn was buried in the dreadnought armor and would only wake up once every thousand years, telling the little wolves in the regiment about the legendary story of Russ. 】

【"It's hard for him..." Wolf King Leman Russ sighed slowly. 】

【His deep eyes seemed to have passed through countless wind and snow, and saw the distant giant mountain, and also saw Bjorn sleeping deep in the Wolf Fang Castle. 】

【Then, Wolf King Leman Russ inadvertently asked about your past. 】

【You told the other party about your combat experience without hesitation. 】

【"Perhaps only the Astartes who grew up in the regiment are the perfect combination of courage and tactics... But personally, I value courage more, because courage can make up for the lack of experience..." Wolf King Leman Russ stared at you with a deep gaze, revealing a hint of appreciation in his eyes. 】

【"As a mortal, you have unparalleled courage... This deserves more praise."】

【The Wolf King Leman Russ suddenly raised his unarmored palm and pointed at the elephant leg in front of you. 】

【"I don't have much time... So, little cub, eat quickly."】

【You immediately picked up the gradually cooling elephant leg and sat on the snow to chew it. 】

【In the seventh week, the Wolf King Leman Russ led you to stroll in the snow-covered wasteland. 】

【Occasionally, he would tell you many legends about his hometown Fenris. 】

【But most of the time, the other party just kept tempering your will and beating your spirit. 】

【Especially when you are attracted by a large amount of fresh blood and flesh and cannot suppress your animal instincts for the time being. 】

【You will personally learn the wrestling skills of the Wolf King Leman Russ. 】

【After experiencing it repeatedly for more than a dozen times, your animal instincts seem to have completely become human instincts. ]

[You no longer need to resist animal instincts, it seems to be your innate nature. ]

[Wolf King Leman Russ showed more kindness to you. ]

[You once again enjoyed the prey roasted by the other party and learned the wrestling skills taught by the other party. ]

[Soon after, a sudden blizzard enveloped you. ]

[Wolf King Leman Russ, lamenting the lack of honey wine in his mouth, slowly stood up. ]

["My time is up, young cub..." Wolf King Leman Russ stared at a slowly emerging subspace rift with his deep eyes. ]

[“Although it was His whispers that guided me… I also enjoyed a moment of peace that belonged to home…” Wolf King Leman Russ turned his head, his golden hair swaying as he looked down at you with a gentle expression, “Final advice, little cub, remember to constantly temper your soul to resist the corruption of Chaos, but never underestimate it, because its soft and harmless appearance may just be a cover…”]

[“Also remember why you have been fighting to this day… You have never been His toy, nor His puppet… Do you understand?”]

[You listened to the other party’s words in silence and nodded heavily. ]

[Wolf King Leman Russ smiled faintly, and his sharp fangs were slightly revealed. ]

[Then, he seemed to raise his eyebrows. ]

[“…Got it, nagging old guy.” Accompanied by the low murmur of Wolf King Leman Russ. ]

[He actually entered the subspace rift without looking back, and the huge back only raised an armorless palm and waved to you, as if saying goodbye. ]

[The warp crack gradually disappeared, and even the blizzard surrounding it slowly weakened. ]

[If it weren't for the fire that was still warm nearby and the remaining food scraps. ]

[You almost thought it was just a strange dream. ]

[You subconsciously took a deep breath of cold air. ]

[You straightened your gray robe that was stained with grease. ]

[You looked past the countless scattered snowflakes and looked at the towering mountain in the distance. ]

["Come on, the real show is about to begin..." You muttered to yourself. ]

[You gathered the remaining food and picked up a few fires. ]

[You once again set foot on your ultimate test in the weakening snowstorm. ]
