Chapter 129

Emerald Dream is now, for Luode, like a backyard; with the permission granted by Aizelasi, Luode can go anywhere in the Emerald Dream at will.

The area where demigods live, the area where green dragons live, and even the area where druids sleep.

This time, Luode did not have much interaction with the wild demigod or the members of the Green Dragon Legion, but went directly to the place where the werewolves are sealed.

If my guess is correct, then there's no need to trouble these wild demigods for help; if I can't handle it here, then I can also have the wild demigods take action.

In a particularly special area of the Emerald Dream, this place was layered with seals set by the Great Druid Malfurion; inside, over a hundred night elf tribe druids lie asleep, all of them druids afflicted with the werewolf curse.

They had been asleep in the Emerald Dream for ten thousand years; a few years ago, when the Calamity Legion invaded, some were released. However, a large number of werewolf druids remain sealed here.

Soon, Luode selected a few werewolves, and through the Emerald Dream's mark, successfully brought them out of the Emerald Dream, appearing in the upper palace of Gloomy City.

Just after entering the real world, these werewolves woke up.

"Howl!" As soon as they woke, they let out a wolf howl and looked at Luode with a fierce expression.

Ross's eyes narrowed, and he directly released his Conqueror's Haki; under precise control, the Conqueror's Haki was aimed only at these few werewolves and did not spread outward.

At this moment, Luode's Conqueror's Haki also carried a hint of dragon majesty and the powerful natural divinity of the wild demigod; in terms of Conqueror's Haki level, Luode is absolutely the strongest.

After sensing Luode's Conqueror's Haki, the dragon's might of the divine dragon, and the wild demigod's natural divine authority, these werewolves immediately became obedient, trembling all over as they lay on the ground.

Although they have lost their reason, this does not mean they are completely insane; they are merely controlled by beastly instinct, and the beasts' perceptual acuity far exceeds that of humans, so these werewolves clearly know just how powerful the being before them is.

Faced with Luode's overwhelming pressure, they all knelt on the ground, just like tamed puppies.

After these werewolves showed fearful expressions, Luode's Soul-Soul Fruit ability activated; now Luode can directly take their souls or manipulate their souls.

The fundamental cause of the werewolf curse is the inability to control the wild power within the body; the power of the giant wolf demigod is still very strong.

Any living creature bitten by these werewolf druids will become like them; the original soul will be suppressed, replaced by a savage bestiality.

Through precise control of soul power, Luode began to examine the souls of several werewolves; their souls had their original will wrapped deep within the mind, while a layer of savage bloodlust desire filled the exterior.

"If we remove this layer of savage bloodlust ferocity, could they return to normal? Or regain sanity." Luode muttered to himself.

The Soul-Soul Fruit can indeed manipulate souls, but as for memory and the mind, that is not my forte.

Just because I'm not good at these doesn't mean nobody is!

Thinking of this, Luode immediately used a vine-type nature spell to bind the several werewolves.

Then he went outside and called over Bulin, who was watching his mother study anger.

"Lord Luode, what do you need me for?" Bulin came over to Luode's side, very obedient, and asked.

"Bulin, I need your fruit ability to help me with something." Luode said.

"No problem; as long as it's Lord Luode's wish, no matter what it is, I will help Lord Luode accomplish it." Bulin said happily.

"Huh! Come with me for a moment; no matter what you see, don't be afraid, just stand obediently behind you, understand?" Luode said.

Bulin nodded and followed Luode into the room, then saw several bound giant wolves—creatures three meters tall, covered in thick fur, with gaping bloody maws and eyes flashing red light.

"Are these, these werewolves?" Bulin asked curiously.

In the pirate world there are also legends of vampires and werewolves, and there is even a Vampire Fruit; I just don't know if there is a Werewolf Fruit. "That's right, this is a werewolf I captured; they were originally a race called night elves, all druids, capable of transforming into various animals and casting natural magic."

They came into contact with the power of a giant wolf demigod by adventure, and this demigod's power caused them to undergo a collective mutation, resulting in the werewolf curse. " Luode gave Bulin a general explanation of the werewolf curse."

"How amazing; if this ability could be mastered, it would indeed be very useful! Just one bite from them and you could become such a giant wolf!" Bulin nodded and said.

It is indeed a remarkably amazing ability; if it were in the pirate world, it would be worth investing great effort to study.

"The power of the Soul-Soul Fruit lets me feel that their souls' memories are filled with a violent and wild force; I hope you can cooperate with me to extract these memories of violence and bloodlust, and then I will try to awaken them." Luode said.

"I understand, Lord Luode." Bulin nodded and said.

"Let's start now."

After Luode finished speaking, he grabbed a werewolf, pressed it to the ground, and then used the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit.

"Howl! Howl!" The werewolf caught by Luode let out a cry of extreme terror, looking at Luode with a face full of fear.

A large amount of soul substance was extracted; I must say, the lifespan of these night elves is truly extreme, and their soul power is also very strong.

Bulin also reached into this werewolf's mind and pulled out a series of film reels.

Because they have slept for ten thousand years, their memories are stuck in ancient times; the state they were in after becoming werewolves, bloodthirsty and violent.

"Good! Just like that, next I'll do it." Luode nodded and immediately used his fruit ability to extract all the werewolves' soul power related to bloodlust, violence, and savagery.

The Soul-Soul Fruit cannot precisely locate these violent and bloodlust forces, whereas Bulin's Memory Fruit can achieve precise positioning.

Soon, this wild power coming from the souls was extracted.

The werewolf captured by Luode also began to change; its werewolf form gradually receded, slowly turning back into a male night elf, kneeling on the ground, panting heavily.

"I, I have I awakened from that eternal nightmare? Thank you, unknown existence, for letting me escape the sea of suffering." An unnamed night elf druid said.

"I am the newly risen wild demigod of the Emerald Dream; I used some special means to pull you back to reality." After Luode finished speaking, he released the aura of the wild demigod. "Great wild demigod, how long have we slept?"

"From the time of the ancient war, resisting the Burning Legion until now, over ten thousand years have passed." Luode said.

"Oh! That really is a long time; thank you for saving me, great wild demigod." The night elf sincerely expressed gratitude to Luode.

Being able to awaken from this eternal nightmare is already a great fortune amidst misfortune.

"No need to be polite; I study the werewolf curse for a purpose—I want to master this power and bestow it upon my followers." Luode said.

"Great wild demigod, my name is Kadeer Luye; I don't know if I am fortunate enough to learn your name." The night elf performed an ancient salute to Luode and said.

The aura emanating from this wild demigod is very primal and strong, even stronger than that of the mightiest demigod, the Giant Deer Demigod! Such a wild demigod will be respected by the entire druid community, for they are the embodiment of Azeroth's life will, the manifestation of nature.

"That name is Luode, the Azure Wild Demigod." Luode said.

"Great Azure Demigod, is there anything I can do for you?" Kadeer said.

"I have removed the violence, bloodlust, savagery, and many other beastly traits from your soul; can you still transform into wolf form? And can you retain sanity?" Luode asked.

Kadeer nodded, then a burst of emerald-green light rose from his body, and before Luode he transformed into a giant wolf.

However, unlike the previous werewolves, his fur turned white, and he also displayed some animal traits unique to the night elf race on his head, and his eyes changed from blood-red to the normal pupils of a night elf.

"Great spirit of nature above, thank you, mighty Azure Demigod; I have successfully mastered the werewolf transformation, and that savage bloodlust desire is gone." Kadeer said excitedly.

Now my werewolf mindset is just like the bear form, leopard form, and other beast forms; with the help of this unknown wilderness demigod, I have successfully recovered.

"Hmm! Then do you still have that werewolf ability? The one where you turn someone into a werewolf by biting them." Luode asked.

"I don't know about that! Does the wolf form still have this ability? After I took the wolf form, I lost consciousness and have been feeling dazed and stiff all the time." Ka'de'er said.

He was among the first batch of druids who accepted the giant wolf, demigod power; after successfully transforming into wolf form, he has been dazed and stiff, and he has no idea what happened in his mind.

There was no choice; Luode could only reveal the matter of the werewolf curse.

"There's actually such a thing? Does the power of the giant wolf demigod still have this function? This is something we didn't anticipate." Ka'de'er stroked his chin, falling into contemplation.

"Let's give it a try! Wait a moment." Luode said.

Ka'de'er nodded; the wilderness demigod had spoken, so he naturally ought to cooperate, and if the werewolf curse really is that terrifying, he also really wants to know what his current situation is.

With Bulin present, he wasn't worried about leaking anything, after all memories can be erased at will.

After Luode went outside, he found Kaido and told him about the werewolf matter, asking him to bring a few ordinary members of the Beasts Pirates.

"I specially selected three who have Observation Haki to come over; do you have confidence?" Kaido asked.

"No problem, trust me, you can begin. Ka'de'er, transform into giant wolf form and then bite him." Luode said.

Ka'de'er nodded, activated his werewolf transformation ability, turned into a giant wolf, then bit the pirate's shoulder, biting several pirates one after another.

The bitten pirates showed a hint of pain, then their bodies began to change; a green light shone upon them.

Luode could clearly feel that the opponent's vital energy was being transformed by some special power into a wild power, and the fel energy seemed to be fused in as well.

Soon the pirates underwent changes; their bodies began to grow fur, mouths and ears took on a wolf's shape, hands became wolf claws, legs became wolf legs.

Until they transformed into a humanoid giant wolf.

"Awoo!" the giant wolf let out a roar, its eyes flickering with a faint green light—that was the fel fire.

At the same time, the wolf's fur bore a dark green fel hue, and the werewolf's claws also carried fel power, making it look even more ferocious.

Unlike their druids' transformation into black werewolves, the pirates who transformed without needing fel to stop bleeding looked utterly bizarre.

"This, this is fel power." said the night elf druid standing nearby, his face filled with horror.

A wilderness demigod—why would his subordinates have beings that wield fel? Luode unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, directly knocking Ka'de'er unconscious. "Now just get some proper rest!"

"We'll just tweak the memory a bit and it'll be done."

"Do you still have your sanity?" Luode asked.

"Boss Kaido, boss Luode, I feel a destructive urge and a bloodthirsty predatory desire, but I can suppress it!" said the three pirates who had successfully transformed into fel werewolves, members of the Beasts Pirates.

Although this bloodthirsty desire is strong, I can barely keep it under control.

The fel werewolves appear taller and more imposing than those few black werewolves.

They are more destructive; the werewolf curse has been resolved by themselves, and they have also researched a new kind of fel werewolf.

"You are now thinking of returning to your original form, reverting to your original human shape." Luode said.

The few fel werewolves nodded; a hint of emerald green light flashed across their bodies, then their fur gradually receded, and they returned to their human forms.
