Chapter 136 - The Strong and the Weak!
There are three monster lairs in this world called the 'Unexplored Regions': The Dungeon, the Great Tree Sea, and the Dragon Valley, commonly known as the three great unexplored regions of the world.
Bete was born in the northern part of the continent, to the leader of a clan of Werewolves, a beastkin tribe that lived by hunting.
However, on a golden moonlit night, the clan of werewolves to which Bete belonged was destroyed.
The 'monsters' that suddenly appeared on the plains killed everyone.
The monsters that descended from the Dragon Valley at the northernmost part of the continent that night taught Bete what 'strong' meant.
The monstrous beast that brought the calamity stretched out its heavy wings, and its scales deflected all the wolves' attacks.
His powerful parents were smashed into pieces, his lovely sister was crushed, and his beautiful childhood sweetheart was bitten into pieces.
That day, Bete lost everything.
The simple truth of the survival of the fittest changed Bete from the inside out.
The strong can plunder everything, while the weak don't even have the right to live.
Realizing that he was also a weakling, Bete came to Orario, joined the Vidar Familia, polished his claws and fangs, and was determined to become a 'strongman'.
There was a huge scar on the left side of his face, a 'gift' from the monster he considered strong.
Bete left this symbol on his face to warn himself of his weakness at all times.
As the tattooist carved the design, Bete laughed at the sight of the lightning tattoo extending from his eyebrows down to his cheeks.
Because it actually looked like the 'fangs' he had been looking forward to.
This is the 'Wolf's Fang', a fusion of his desire for strength and a symbol of weakness.
"Half a year ago, I left Orario and returned to the plains where I was born," Bete drank his drink and told Luke the reason why he disappeared for half a year.
Luke knew that since Bete could sit here and drink with him, it meant that he had completed his revenge.
Bete had surpassed the monster he previously considered strong, and he firmly believed that he was on the way to becoming stronger.
The former strongman had become a stepping stone for him.
Bete, who had cut off the past and completed his revenge, returned to Orario.
However, just as he was about to move towards a bright future, what Bete saw when he returned to the Familia base was crying Familia members, the vice captain who had given up hope, and god Vidar who apologized to him.
...
Bete abandoned them, Bete had to abandon them.
The day Vidar Familia left Orario, Bete didn't even go to see them for the last time.
A werewolf who was already on the path of becoming strong would absolutely never recognize these wastrels who chose to give up.
Bete would never be defeated by the 'strong'.
Even if he was seriously injured, lost everything, and fell into despair, he would roar and keep moving forward.
He vowed to take revenge and successfully tore apart the flesh and blood of the being he considered strong.
