WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED? THEY STARTED HURLING SOMETHING FLAMING AT US FROM A DISTANCE... ...IT WAS PHANTOM WEED. ALL OF IT. NO WONDER. I THOUGHT I CAUGHT A FAINT SCENT OF HERBS BENEATH THE SMOKE. THIS VILLAGE ISN'T AFFECTED BY THE FULL MOON, SO WE NEVER HAD A REASON TO USE THE STUFF. MOST OF OUR PEOPLE HAVE NO IMMUNITY TO IT AT ALL. SO... THEY JUST STARTED DROPPING, ONE BY ONE. I BARELY MANAGED TO GRAB THE LITTLE ONES AND RUN. IT SHOULD BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ORDINARY HUMANS TO GET THEIR HANDS ON PHANTOM WEED... I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS HAPPENED... ...... PHANTOM WEED IS A RESTRICTED SUPPLY. ONLY LYCANS CAN PURCHASE IT. SO, TO AMASS ENOUGH TO DEVASTATE AN ENTIRE VILLAGE... ...PROVES THESE WEREN'T ORDINARY CIVILIANS. IT APPEARS THE DOPANE ARMY HAS MADE ITS MOVE, YOUR MAJESTY. ... YOUR MAJESTY...? EASY THERE, ELDER! THANK GOODNESS!! YOU'RE ALIVE... I'M SO, SO GLAD...! IT'S ALRIGHT. IT'S ALRIGHT, ZEN. ELDER... SOB... You're not hurt anywhere, are you? Right? Where have you been all this time?! WHAT SHOULD BE A JOYFUL REUNION... HAS BECOME FAR TOO TRAGIC. I SHOULD HAVE TIGHTENED SECURITY, CONSIDERING THE RECENT WAR. YOUR MAJESTY... ...AND ZEN. I HAVE FAILED YOU BOTH. YOU ARE NOT AT FAULT. STOP BLAMING YOURSELF. IF ANYONE IS TO BLAME... ...IT IS THOSE DOPANE COWARDS, USING UNDERHANDED TACTICS TO LINE THEIR OWN POCKETS. TELL ME... ...WHAT IS TO BECOME OF THE CHILDREN? IF THEY WERE HUMAN, WE COULD PLACE THEM IN AN ORPHANAGE OR WELFARE FACILITY. BUT AS LYCANS... THE FULL MOON MAKES THAT IMPOSSIBLE. IS THERE NOT A PLACE THAT OFFERS SANCTUARY TO ALL, REGARDLESS OF THEIR KIND? ARE YOU... REFERRING TO THE TEMPLE? THEY NEVER STOP PREACHING ABOUT SAVING THE DESTITUTE. THEY WOULDN'T DARE REFUSE. ...THOUGH THE CHILDREN MIGHT HAVE TO SHAVE THEIR FUR. Since everyone here has to shave their heads... ..That is a deeply disrespectful thought... I AM TRULY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR AID, YOUR MAJESTY. YOU ARE A CITIZEN OF THE KINGDOM. IT IS ONLY NATURAL THAT I PROTECT YOU. FOR NOW, FIND YOUR PEACE. YOU MUST FOCUS YOUR STRENGTH ON CARING FOR THE CHILDREN. THOUGH... THERE IS ONE THING I WISH TO ASK. IS IT TRUE THAT THIS VILLAGE IS COMPLETELY UNAFFECTED BY THE FULL MOON? IT IS. THE MOON'S CURSE DOES NOT REACH THIS VILLAGE, NOR THE AREA AROUND THE LAKE. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? WELL... I AM NOT QUITE SURE HOW TO EXPLAIN IT... WOULD YOU PLEASE FOLLOW ME? JUST WHAT IS HE TRYING TO SHOW ME? IT OPENS UP JUST AHEAD. IT MAY BE A BIT CRAMPED FOR NOW... ...BUT I ASK FOR YOUR PATIENCE. WE MUST GO A LITTLE DEEPER. WE HAVE ARRIVED. ...A DRAGON? WE STUMBLED UPON THIS PLACE BY CHANCE SOME THIRTY YEARS AGO. WE KEPT IT HIDDEN, FEARING GRAVE ROBBERS MIGHT FIND IT... ...BUT I BELIEVE IT IS SAFE TO ENTRUST THIS SECRET TO YOU, YOUR MAJESTY. THIS IS THE VERY CENTER OF THE POWER THAT REPELS THE FULL MOON. LEGEND SAYS THAT LONG AGO, THE GOD OF THE BLACK WOLF RESIDED HERE... ...AND BESTOWED ITS BLESSINGS UPON THIS PLACE. BLACK WOLF? YES. IT IS AN ANCIENT NAME FOR OUR PEOPLE. IF THAT IS TRUE, THEN DOES THAT MEAN THIS PLACE IS... ...A TEMPLE OF THE LYCANS? "A RACE ABANDONED EVEN BY THEIR GOD." IT IS AN INSULT ALWAYS THROWN AROUND TO DEMEAN THE LYCANS, BUT... ...TO A LARGELY ATHEISTIC PEOPLE, IT IS A MEANINGLESS BRAND. FOR THOSE CONSTANTLY PERSECUTED, DEPRIVED OF EVEN A MOMENT'S PEACE TO PRAY... ...RELIGION IS NOTHING MORE THAN A BURDENSOME LUXURY. EVERY LYCAN I'VE MET TOLD ME THAT RATHER THAN PUTTING FAITH IN A GOD... ...THEY'D SOONER TRUST THEIR OWN TONGUES. YOU MUST FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE. I KNOW. BUT THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IS WRITTEN ON THESE WALLS. ARE YOU SAYING YOU CAN ACTUALLY READ THE LANGUAGE WRITTEN ON THAT WALL? YES. IT IS AN ANCIENT TONGUE USED ON THE EASTERN CONTINENT DURING THE ERA OF THE GREAT EMPIRE. I AM FAR FROM FLUENT, HAVING ONLY LEARNED A FRACTION OF IT FROM THE ELDERS BEFORE ME. THE PASSAGE OF TIME HAS ALSO ERODED MUCH OF THE WALL... ...IT IS SIMPLY A PITY THAT THIS HISTORY WILL BE BURIED HERE AND FORGOTTEN. IF WHAT HE SAYS IS TRUE... ...THERE MAY BE A CLUE TO BREAKING THE FULL MOON'S CURSE HIDDEN WITHIN THESE WALLS. ELDER. TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT YOU CAN TRANSLATE. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Dawn of Vengeance #52](/series/dawn-of-vengeance-b4u1jnn6/chapter-52-xsmg8s) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/dawn-of-vengeance-b4u1jnn6 ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
