New Life, New Task: I'll Be A Mom Then!!!

Chapter 45 Freckled And Furries



"Crap!" realizing that they had been fooled, the vice-captain and the rest of the team went into a panic. He didn't think that these weak-looking creatures would double-cross a person like him!

He then remembered that the small teddy bear was still with them sitting quietly on the mount.

He could make him the hostage!

He then held the bear, who was in front of him while putting his sharp sword onto its neck.

"You sure had the audacity to rejoice for this little achievement! You had forgotten that I have here your poor comrade!" The vice-captain announced taking teddy Baobao as a hostage.

"Ohh~~? Are you sure you wanted to take him in as a hostage?" Wisey said with a sharp playful look in her eyes, "You may have chosen the wrong hostage to take~~"

As Wisey declared this statement, the vice-captain soon felt a dark shadow pass in front of him. It was so fast that he had only realized that the bear was no longer in front of him - including the sword he was holding.

"Aaaaarghh!"

The vice-captain shouted in agony as he realized that his right arm was no longer attached to his body.

His vision was going blurry. He didn't know how in the world was he incapacitated so fast. The only thing he heard was the sound of horror from his subordinates.

"A-a cursed bear!!!" The men shouted in panic as they controlled their hell wolves to retreat to the barrier and try to break it with brute force.

Facing them was a large cursed bear with a bone-chilling look in his dark round eyes. In its paws was the arm of their vice-captain, still holding the sword he used to threaten the small teddy bear earlier.

"Damn! What trouble did we get into!" They shouted in regret.

Cursed bears are unfathomable mythical creatures that cause the absolute perishing of life for those who had encountered them. Even men like them who joined a sinister organization such as the Spectre would feel great terror should they encounter a cursed bear.

"It's no time to play.." Baobao said coldly as he cast a glance towards Wisey and Olivier who was still observing the commotion inside the entrapment barrier. "Sir Randel's mana presence is fading…"

"!!!" The two were shocked by Baobao's news. Without delaying any further, they stepped into the barrier and engaged in a fight.

Olivier performed a series of hand seals with his hands and a magic array appeared underneath him. From the faint light of the magic array four enormous grizzly bears appeared.

He instructed them to attack the wolves along with Baobao while he dealt with the human counterparts.

He was after all a close aide of the Barbaric Blood Prince, his combat skills alone were not to be trifled with!

He charged toward the nearest cloaked man and eliminated him with a single strike before the man could even finish the spell he was about to cast.

His charming and youthful freckled face was now a face of sharpness and bravery. After taking down one enemy, he proceeded to jump to another wolf to take on another cloaked man.

Clash!

The next target had a better reaction than the first.

Although the man had been flustered due to being entrapped by a powerful spell and the appearance of the cursed bear, he needed to fight to survive. Without minding the commotion around, he proceeded to engage in a fight against Olivier.

Wisey, on the other hand, hovered on top of the battleground and used a cyclone wind spell on the rest of the enemies. Although this cyclone spell wasn't enough for her to deal damage to the enemies, it was good enough to separate the men and the wolves from each other, preventing a coordinated attack.

She then perched on top of Baobao's furry shoulders, together they defeated another pair.

"Let's deal with the men first, the bears could deal with the remaining wolves." Wisey reminded Baobao as she observed that Olivier seemed to be in a busy fight with another cloaked man.

"We only have the vice-captain and the last subordinate.." Wisey suggested, which Baobao followed. Quickly charging towards the terrified cloaked man, Baobao swiped his paw with full force, fatally wounding the enemy.

"I feel like subduing them was disturbingly so easy…" Baobao told Wisey with uncertainty on his face.

They looked towards the vice-captain who was still disoriented due to the excessive blood loss from his severed arm. "This level of fighting shouldn't have pushed Sir Randel into a state where he would lose mana presence…"

Wisey contemplated and said, "Hmmm, indeed, but for now, we don't have any clue yet. Let us just be vigilant."

While they were conversing the vice-captain had regained some of his consciousness and saw the great peril that came to his group. Only two of them were alive now, and it won't be long for him to be targeted by the enemies. He let out a crazed laugh and pulled a pendant hiding behind his cloak.

It was a pendant crystal with a red-colored liquid inside. The pale-faced vice-captain then crushed the crystal and the blood-like liquid flowed through his fingers. "Hahaha! I would die anyway, so why not bring you along!"

"Growl!" A terrifying sound came out of the remaining wolves. Upon smelling the pungent and repulsive smell of the liquid, they started showing signs of going berserk. Their size doubled, and their appearance became more savage-looking.

"It has something to do with the liquid!" Baobao declared as he charged toward the vice-captain speedily and lifted his body up with his paw. "What was it that you did right now!" He said in agitation.

"Bahahaha! It's nothing, I just awakened the hell wolves! Now nothing can stop them from going berserk!" He said with a crazed laugh.

Knowing that there was no more information to be given, Baobao then ended the life of the vice-captain and said, "I think those things were the reason why Sir Randel was in that state."

"Then let's go ahead and finish this before the situation becomes grave!"  Wisey said as she once again flew and cast a cyclone spell trying to distract the wolves from completely transforming.

Olivier who had finally defeated the enemy regrouped with Baobao and the grizzly bears, "Something is wrong with the remaining wolves.." He said in full alert.

"The vice-captain used some kind of liquid to trigger their berserk.." Baobao briefed Olivier on what happened.

The Freckle-Furry team readied themselves in facing the transformed wolves. There were three of them against the six members of the team, while Wisey flew around the battlefield to assess the situation.

The first exchange happened, and heavy blows were taken by the Freckle-Furry team. These wolves are much more powerful than their handlers! It seemed like it would be hard for them to wrap up this fight sooner.

Wisey was shocked by the difference in the strength of the transformed wolves. She could clearly see the restrained movement of Baobao and the team, it only showed that they were not easy enemies.

If Baobao and the rest of the team were already having a hard time dealing with three transformed wolves, then what kind of hardships did Randel face to defeat a team of these wolves!

It wasn't only Wisey who thought of this, even Baobao and Olivier were wondering. But the important thing right now was to defeat these wolves and regroup with Randel to check on his condition.

They continued to exchange blows with the wolves, as weariness now could be seen in their attacks, they did not have any countermeasures against the overwhelming strength of the wolves and they could only barely hold their defense.

Wisey was worried as the fight was not looking good. She tried to think of ways to turn the tables around. Flying around the battlefield she tried to observe as closely as possible. Then a thought came to her mind.

She remembered that the Spectre was talking about the hell wolves being uncontrollable and that it was imperative that they work in groups rather than spread out so that they could implement a countermeasure should the wolves go berserk.

This means that one of them must have a way to control the wolves! The most probable candidate to control these wolves must be the vice-captain!

"Baobao! Sir Olivier, I will be inspecting the vice captain's corpse to look for anything that could control these wolves!" She announced to the team as she flew down to the vice captain's lifeless body.

Inspecting the body, she tried to search for items that looked like a very important artifacts. However, who would have thought that the vice captain's bag would be filled with so many suspicious-looking artifacts?!

Should she choose the wrong one, it may add more trouble to their group!

"What to do? I have no clue as to what the item should look like.." She uttered in distress.

Suddenly, a pure golden light appeared in front of her and hovered around her. Intrigued by the golden light, Wisey followed where the golden light would go.

The golden light stopped on top of the vice captain's severed arm which was a few meters away from the body. When Wisey arrived at the location where the severed arm was, the golden light disappeared.

"There must be something in here.." Although she was not sure what the golden light was, she knew that there was a reason why it directed her to the place. She inspected the arm, and what she saw was a bracelet containing a crystal vessel of a greenish liquid.

"This must be it right?" She tried to take the bracelet away from the arm and flew towards Olivier.

"Sir Olivier, I found an item, it may help us!" Wisey said, passing the bracelet to Olivier.

Upon inspecting Olivier then nodded, "We need a drop of this liquid to touch the body of the wolves!"

Opening the bottle, he then placed a drop of the liquid on his fingertips. He jumped on top of one charging wolf and placed a drop of the liquid on the savage wolf's nose tip.

"Boop!" Olivier said as he hurried and retreated from the wolf.

As soon as the liquid touched the wolf's nose, the savage beast slowed down and fell asleep.
