Chapter 6: Despair Collection

A Lone Beowolf prowling through the night, unlike other Beowolf it is small and its body is very frail.

its body show sign of being mauled and large part torn to shred, even its mask is not safe showing hint of cracking.

Currently its home have been taken over by another Beowolf pack.

While it want to charge right back and take back its territory, it knew its own standing in the food chain.

it is weak.

unable to defend its territory from other grimm and currently clinging for dear life.

it realize of how full the forest have become, Each tree have become a territory of grimm stronger than it.

The forest have no place for it.

so it shall walk outside of the forest to seek shelter from a being stronger than any alpha of the jungle.

no matter how high the sky is, in its eyes it was the peak of strength, residing deep beneath the lightborn settlement sharpening its blade for its own hunt.

No Beowolf want to get any closer to that guy territory as its simply a matter of Time before he wake up.

slowly it notice the tree becoming less frequent and its instinct silently screaming at him to turn back.

despite being many mile away from its territory, terrifyingly its negativity can be felt even beneath the forest.

stopping just a moment it looked back at the deep forest.

it want to stay in its own territory but as time goes on, theres too many young grimm born stronger than him.

theres a howl beneath the forest of the newborn Wolf knight.

silently it made its goodbye to the forest before walking away.

too late to realize the rapidly approaching shadow above it.

BOOM

Large explosion of dust and dirt debris appear outside the forest outside the territory of the Beowolf.

a giant nevermore grasping a Beowolf in its talon, despite its gigantic size more reminiscent of a dragon it have the capability to flew gracefully and dive with the force of a torpedo.

standing proudly with its bounty it chirp happily.

the Beowolf flabbergasted looked up in both confusion and denial.

there shouldn't be any large nevermore territory in the forest and even if there are it should only be the standard sized nevermore not larger than any Beowolf.

however setting down from the back of a giant nevermore he could see something unexpected.

A LIGHTBORN

growling as Its bloodlust light up ignoring the fact that a nevermore is allying itself with a lightborn, despite the very severe damage it withstand, it tried crawling to him wanting to at least tear his shoulder.

"I didn't expect to see such small Beowolf in remnant, than again I can't judge my property just for their height."

it could see the man muttering something, however it was too preoccupied with the fact a giant bird many time its size is perching on top of him, not letting it reach its prey.

seeing the human getting closer, it rampage around more wanting to sink his fang into a lightborn flesh.

however it suddenly freeze feeling something wrong with its body.

slowly part of his body dissipate turning into a long trail of dust, panicking it started to struggle more.

yet its defiance prove useless as not long after its body completely dissipating , with the only proof of its existence as a pitch black orb resting in the human palm.

"so this is how my semblance work?"

looking at the orb in his palm he carefully observer it.

"System what should I do with this?"

he ask the thin air ignoring the giant raven beside him trying to get his attention.

...

after waiting for a moment, he quickly realize that the system isn't responding to his question.

'seriously system!? at least help me with this.'

momentarily annoyed but after a bit of thinking, he understand that the system has no need to answer all of his question.

"should I eat this?"

concerned as his mind subconsciously went to unknown place looking at the hard orb fitting his palm.

Normally no sane human would tried to swallow a large sized orb for any reason. but, due to his already low sanity.

he swallowed it.

much to his own surprise.

too late to realize his own stupidity, suddenly something large enter his throat for a second before disappearing into nothingness.

despite swallowing a orb larger than his throat, he didn't choke surprisingly. he only feel...

Something

Before he could recover he suddenly feel a large rotting taste striking deep in his his soul

Disgust

it feels as if he was eating shit covered rag to wipe a toilet

OH MY LORD

he want to puke whatever he was swallowing but no matter how much he gag, his mouth is sealed shut not allowing whatever he was swallowing to exit.

its as if the body even though rejecting such foul think from entering his stomach does not want it to exit.

and so with nowhere else to go the remain is forcefully swallowed back,

laying in the dirt, (Y/n) was forced to swallow his own puke again as if his body doesn't listen to his order.

yet the giant nevermore simply ignore him, too as if whatever is happening to its owner is completely safe

before long he manage to recover. despite the disgusting after taste assaulting his mouth

getting up he see familiar a blue window.

[Despair Collection Successful]

[Obtained: Beowolf 1x]

---

A window floating in thin air reminding him of his recent hunt, and a proof of the usage of his semblance.

"Before dawn appeared I should find at least more grimm to add to my collection. Beowolf preferably."

his expression turn into disgust knowing he need to swallow another orb of Beowolf just to finished his sub-quest.

staring off into the shattered moon, he is reminded that the world is no longer earth but a foreign world.

The giant nevermore screech snap him out of his contemplation, sending a warning signal through their mental string.

and at the nevermore warning, 3 Beowolf grimm, much larger than the one he just capture jump from the thick vegetation of the jungle charging straight into the much fragile human.

sending a mental order to the giant nevermore, his expression turn dark. not from the hostile Beowolf however.

"this is going to be a very long night..."
