Fortuna heard the question and replied, 'This curse allows the dark wolf to take possession of the corpses in a certain range. The despairing characteristic of this curse is that it spreads. Do not get wounded, or you are done for.'
Valerian asked, 'How to defeat these guys?'
Fortuna pondered the question and said, 'Chop the heads off or smack it to a pulp.'
The young man nodded while attacking the dark wolf under him. Then, he said, "Are you getting smug by spreading this sham of a toxin around those I have already defeated? I do not understand what sort of validation you will achieve by this act of yours. Probably get to be known as the desperate mutt that you are."
These words were akin to a clap of thunder in the skies of the dark wolf. Valerian was not here to make the wolf feel good. That much was sure. In his mind, the young man said, 'Fortuna, can you pass down this knowledge to the other three as well? They need to rally the old experts and contain this thing.'
