The Secret Of Werewolf
Chapter 5: I Understand

- Night\, heavy rain\, in the hill area of the cemetery of Wolfden\ village, at the same time.-

"So that's why you followed me here? Just to defend your children?" Stephen began his conversation with the red-robed man.

A moment after he had clearly remembered the reason why he was being chased by this man.

Stephen slowly removed the hood of his robe and immediately also saw a stern but charming look, indeed a young man full of charisma.

Now Stephen knew it turned out that the man in front of him was the same man he had met the day before. Just when he lost consciousness in Frost City.

He should have remembered the incident last night, because he realized right before launching the action, and the memory when he realized should still be there.

But because of the energy he spent to escape as far as possible, which brought him to this village of Wolfden, made him forget the incident last night.

Even when he briefly interacted with the man who had a cut in his right eye, Stephen easily forgot about it due to fatigue.

And also never terbesit one bit in his mind will again meet the man who was last night.

Although he had run very far, but in the end he could still be followed somehow.

Stephen did not expect him to have to deal directly with one from the Reiss Family, an accident that resulted in the events he is currently facing.

Wanting to blame himself was in vain, Stephen already knew about it, after all he could not change what was part of him.

Is it possible that he can 'make others believe in us regardless of his existence?' a simple concept where we can understand each other. But the concept that sounds beautiful and easy to do is in fact inversely proportional.

Can't he really make other people believe him?

"I don't intend to do that!" Stephen said loudly, trying to talk about this matter carefully, having previously acted rashly by attacking Reiss' man.

These are the words from the bottom of his heart, no deception at all.

The man was silent, as if unwilling to hear what Stephen was saying, and no matter what was taken out of his mouth.

Stephen whose emotions were up and down because he was tired was just as speechless, he even lost interest drastically when he knew his interlocutor was not at all willing to hear what he said.

And instead the man looked at Stephen with an angry look, like someone who had held a very long grudge against someone. Now there is no more obstacle for him to repay the young man's actions last night.

"I don't care what your defense is, your past is the reason I'm here...." The red-robed man who had burn marks on the area near his right eye revealed the hood of his red robe. Now they both show their faces.

Srrrr..

The rain became increasingly heavy in the middle of the night that was getting late, as if there were no signs to stop otherwise there was only a variety of thunder and flashes of light that adorned the area of this Wolfden graveyard hill.

Stephen was silent at the red-robed man's words, familiar words in his ears.

In the end all his efforts ended similarly, nothing different....

The sharp and angry eyes that led to him had spoken clearly, Stephen now knew for sure what would happen after this.

Convincing others felt impossible to him.

The more he tries to prevent this from happening, the more likely it is that something he wants to avoid is happening.

He did not understand, but Stephen did not have all day to think about it, instead he only had a little time to think about it.

And only one thing he thought....

There is no other way....

That way, Stephen is prepared to put on the final step, heavy to do so and risky once to make it look even more evil than before.

But there is no other way....

"You don't know anything...." Stephen slowly bowed his face grimly, slowly but surely the emotions he had been suppressing were finally overflowing.

The red-robed man was still staring intently, not caring about what his opponent was thinking, all he thought about was the sheer severity of the deed this young man had done, no matter what his opponent was thinking, he cannot let the same thing happen again.

Lest anyone should lose a loved one because of someone's actions, that's what this red-robed man, a Reiss family member, thinks of upholding the value of humanity.

As one of the Reiss Family who already knows the ins and outs of witchcraft and also the understanding of science, he will complete his goals no matter what.

"Never pretend to know my past!" Stephen darted rapidly launching several fists and kicks, his movements very quickly making the surrounding rainwater form like a smooth flow of water.

DAG!

A DUG!

CRUST!

Each of them let out what they could, a really fast and powerful empty-handed fight, even this area of the wolfden burial hill was until it was made to tremble due to their fight.

For a while in the future they exchanged fists and did not forget to launch some stunning kick techniques, even after some time there was no sign of anyone succumbing here.

And of course giving up is not their current goal, each of them has their own goals that they must achieve whatever happens.

UHHH!

DRAK!

Stephen and the red-robed man bounced back to each other after a relentless fight, each of them not seeming exhausted at all, instead emanating a face full of ambition seen from the two of them.

"I'm not who you think I am!" Stephen tried again to persuade the red-robed man, constantly doing the effort in the midst of this inevitable fight

"Magic Light: Prison of Sacred Energy!" The red-robed man raised both hands, and at once a brightly shining magic circle, shaped like a wide open box prison ready to hold anyone in front of him, it immediately led to Stephen being stunned there.

"Damn!"

Stephen also directed his hand forward, from both hands appeared a dark-colored magic energy circle.

"The Dark Magic: The Dark Shield!"

With that instant also appeared a dark energy force, more dense than the darkness of the night in the form of a shield right when the red-robed man's attack hit him.

BOOM!

The colliding force energy was inevitable, a larger shock wave appeared there, making a dazzling light re-occur in this graveyard area.

The red-robed man's holy energy attacks continuously tried to erode Stephen's black shield, an aura of tremendous power in the form of a prison room that was ready to keep anyone confined to it.

"Ukh...."

Slowly but surely, Stephen who was still trying to withstand the sacred power of the red-robed man began to be overwhelmed, his legs began to feel limp and tremble.

The effect of a great holy power, it was rare for Stephen to face someone with this kind of power that could have cornered him like this.

"Aura great power, the fame of the Reiss Family indeed turned out to be true," Stephen murmured, he did not expect to have to fight with a person this strong.

Stephen who had underestimated the red-robed man should eventually be cornered. He began to feel his strength come out drastically, in this defensive state turning things around was a difficult thing.

Sjsrrr...

The holy power energy began to devour Stephen's dark shield bit by bit, slowly but surely Stephen's defense would soon be destroyed.

'I have to do something!' stephen in his heart there was no way he could continue to survive and lose here, no matter what happened he had to prove himself to the red-robed man.

Whatever happens, he knows he is not what others think of him?

How do you convince someone who doesn't understand them at all? The question always rang in the minds of this young man.

The real reality about him is the absolute point, but is there anything that can change that?

Stephen was pensive, in the end he just wanted to live freely just like everyone else. Enjoy day after day and spend time in peace.

But his wish can never be realized because the reality about him can not be changed.

He continues to live out his destiny as a young man who cannot be free and cannot be like most others.

But is it wrong to hope? At least it was not in question, Stephen always had the thought that maybe one day he would meet someone who understood him.

A person who is able to accept himself as he is and under any circumstances, destroys the absolute point that binds him all along.

In the end, he knew that hope was never wrong and in hope it would appear all the strength needed to live life.

"Well...." Stephen was pensive, he no longer focused his strength on surviving but instead he looked around the Wolfden burial area.

And the young man smiled as he looked around, slowly the look on his face full of ambition turned into a face of sincerity that was difficult to describe with words.

Drastic emotional changes again occur in this young man, but lead to better things.

For the next, this is how the heart of this young man named Stephen.

'I understand ... All I've done to achieve my hopes and goals has only been to escape, I think that way I can achieve my wishes. But in reality it is not the more materialized even it is getting further.'

'Now I think I have my resting place here, as peaceful and calm as I had hoped.... So why should I run away again?'
