The four of them glanced at each other. Their eyes started to glow with some other color other than red. Earlier too, their pupils did have those colors but they didn't emit any light. It was only now that they were giving off a weird form of glow which usually happens with Shin when he uses a skill.
"Yes, this is indeed weird."
"How are we unable to call that beast by his name?"
"Is nature really trying to say that we are weaker than him?", the Ice Queen asked with a soft tone.
There was a sharp rise in her voice though, marking that she was a bit agitated or confused. Other than the names of the Celestials and Supreme Celestials, they never faced the trouble of names.
Since the Celestials and the Supreme Celestials stood at the highest point in the hierarchy, their names could only be called with respect - their names had to be spread too so yes, their names could be taken but one must not forget the respect that they had to give while taking the names.
That was why Kira was able to call the God of Death 'Yama' by his name.
The Head sighed after hearing the Ice Queen. He too had some doubts regarding this matter. In any case, the situation was inevitable so it would be useless to fret longer regarding this situation.
"But, is it really true?", the Ice Queen suddenly asked this out of nowhere after a few minutes of silence.
There was a change in her tone yet again.
"What?", the Head realized that the question was addressed to him, however, he failed to understand it so in return, he had to reply with a question.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I mean, the foresight that you talked about earlier..."
"Was that just a bluff or were you really stating the truth?"
"Is he really going to attain a human form in the near future, just like ourselves?", she asked.
All of them started to glance at each other's faces while waiting for the Head's answer however instead of opening his mouth and saying anything, he just nodded his head.
With this, it was completely clear that Shin was definitely going to attain a human form but that doesn't mean his wolf form would cease to exist.
This was indeed surprising, but what was more surprising was the fact that the Ice Queen mentioned a few words - 'just like ourselves.'
It sounded somewhat weird but yes, she totally meant that. In fact, it was not that surprising for the five greats because none of them was human originally.
As mentioned earlier, there were very few beings in the world who were successful in attaining human forms. Although their numbers were only very few, they were still present.
Only some were known publically and others were kept secret. Some never revealed this to the world and thus only a very few or in fact no one knew about this - the great five were an example of that.
Yes, including the Head, the remaining four were also non-humans. The only ones that knew about their transformation into complete humans were the Celestials, Supreme Celestials, and the Great five, which is themselves.
Other than these selected few, none knew about their transformed states.
Yes, they were living among the humans while pretending to be humans when they were originally something else. One of the reasons was that they wanted to overthrow the human kingdoms and establish their own nations.
Since humanity was the race with the most population, it would require a lot of power to defeat them in battle and then claim victory. In other words, internal conflict could resolve everything for the non-human race and they could easily conquer the humans.
After their transformation, they too ended up coming to this very conclusion and decided to infiltrate and live among the humans and strike back when necessary.
However, this didn't mean that transforming into a human was easy. While temporary transformation did exist, one couldn't conceal their blood lust, aura, killing intent, and powers. It would require out-of-the-world kills to do all that - Shin had some of those such as Aura control and other skills as well and he would continue to gain more.
So, when one mentions transforming into a human, it usually means that their appearance changes to that of humans and they gain a certain set of skills as well.
"Hmm, so he really will aim to become a human then does that mean we should call him to our side?"
"Was this why you asked those puny humans to stay out and not disturb him?", the Ice Queen asked.
"Yes. That was my intention."
"Also, there is something else that I have to tell you guys.", after a moment of silence, he again seemed serious.
"Yes?"
All paid attention yet again. No one other than the Ice Queen was talking in the first place, it was probably because they had many things in their minds.
"Other than this beast, there is one more huge news..."
"A huge news?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yes."
"As you guys know, the Supreme Celestials bless beasts and other races with names."
"A certain incident took place a week ago near the forest of Islea."
"What is it?", all of a sudden the Sword God asked.
"Well..."
"You guys do know about Kira, don't you?", he asked.
"Ah, that strong black wolf that commands death?", the Sword God asked.
"Yes."
"A rumor had been going on in the forest that he was dead because he had vanished but it seems like he appeared all of a sudden out of nowhere."
"Huh? What do you mean by that?", the Sword God couldn't understand the reason for this to be such unusual.
"What I'm trying to say is, Kira appeared in the forest of Islea!!!"
"Yes, so what is weird about that?", the Sword God asked yet again.
"Man..."
"The important term here is 'Islea', the place where 'He' reincarnated a while ago!"
And with this, the hall was filled with silence yet again.
