When Aella heard that, she was excited.
She knew that she had reached a threshold and was not growing strong no matter how many beasts she hunted.
She knew that something had to change, but it was only now she realized that she had to evolve.
Not all beasts are aware of evolution at certain levels. Even if they reach a threshold, they would continue to think that they need to hunt stronger beasts to gain levels that are in fact, not true.
After being revealed about her evolution, she started to wag her tail vigorously in anticipation of what Shin had in store for her.
Shin looked at the system message that appeared at the right time showing various info regarding her evolution.
*Ding*
[The first vessel Aella can evolve into the following:]
[-> Gale Wolf.]
[-> Tempest Wolf.]
[-> Aeolian Wolf.]
[-> Sirocco Wolf.]
These four options are displayed on the screen.
'I somewhat know the first and second one…'
'But what are the third and fourth options?', Shin looked at them with surprise as this was probably his first time encountering such words.
The system then, regardless of his wishes, gave the details regarding all four options.
[Gale Wolf]
[-> a type of wolf race that commands the strong wind and uses it as a weapon.]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt[-> the fur of such a race, white, is believed to have wind stored in it.]
[-> all wind type attributes will be increased by 200% upon evolution to such a race.]
[-> the individual will gain the skills Gale, and Gale Force if not previously acquired.]
[-> chance of evolution to this race: 70%]
[Tempest Wolf]
[-> a type of wolf race that commands thunderstorms.]
[-> the fur of such a race, purplish-white, is believed to have sparkles of lightning stored in them.]
[-> all wind type attributes will be increased by 100%.]
[-> the individual may gain the affinity to lightning attributes.]
[-> the individual will gain the skills Thunderstorm and Spark if not previously acquired.]
[-> chance of evolution to this race: 55%]
[Aeolian Wolf]
[-> a type of wolf race that commands sandstorm.]
[-> the fur of such a race, brownish-white, is believed to have lots of sand capable of generating storms on their own, stored.]
[-> all wind type attributes will be increased by 100%.]
[-> the individual may gain the affinity to Earth attributes.]
[-> the individual will gain the skills Sandstorm and Sand Wave if not previously acquired.]
[-> chance of evolution to this race: 50%]
[Sirocco Wolf]
[-> a type of wolf race that commands Blazing wind.]
[-> the fur of such a race, reddish-white, is believed to have lots of heat stored in them.]
[-> all wind type attributes will be increased by 200%.]
[-> the individual may gain the affinity to fire attributes.]
[-> the individual will gain the skills Blazestorm and Blaze if not previously acquired.]
[-> chance of evolution to this race: 25%]
These were the details of all the evolutionary options.
Shin went through each of them carefully and then explained the options to Aella.
It was quite clear that evolving into Gale wolf would only enhance wind-type attributes. Other options would provide her with sufficient other traits that would help her in the long run.
Needless to say, other evolutionary options didn't completely change attributes. They just added another elemental characteristic to the previously existing one.
If Aella were to choose the Tempest Wolf option, then she would end up with a lightning attribute. This would potentially increase her worth and make her much stronger. The same was for Aeolian and Sirocco options which would provide Earth and fire attributes respectively.
While Aella wondered and thought about choosing one from them, Shin was wondering about the reward that Don Wukong had received.
Previously, he thought that he wouldn't get the chance to use the reward that Don Wukong received and hence thought that it was useless to him. So he did not mind Don Wukong keeping it for himself.
There was not even a shred of annoyance or regret.
But now, when the tempest wolf option appeared, Shin thought otherwise.
If he had the reward, he would definitely help Aella to evolve into a Tempest wolf and then give her the so-called reward in order to enhance the strength of the thunder or lightning attribute to the same degree as her wind attribute.
This would make her so much more powerful!
Even Terran and Raka would require to think twice before facing her if that were to happen.
But in any case, he did not possess the item right now, so he kept the option aside.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe then went forward and looked at the Aeolian option which promised to give Aella earth-type skills.
'Hmm…'
'I have more than hundreds of earth-type minions in my ranks…'
'It would be better if Aella had something unique…', Shin thought.
Terran and all the swamp residents had the Earth-type characteristic in them. Since there were so many of them, having Aella convert into the same category didn't seem to make her unique.
It might increase her worth, but the increase would be limited due to a large number of similar beasts.
Shin almost readily rejected the option.
But, he smirked at the final option - Sirocco.
'Fire attributes…'
He himself was a flame wolf commanding fire attribute. There was no one else having a similar attribute to that in his pack.
If Aella were to gain fire attribute skills, her importance would increase significantly!
She would be considered an official Queen in the clan!
Shin wondered about it. He decided to make Aella evolve into a Sirocco wolf - she would be more than enough worthy to stand beside him!
This was the perfect solution that Shin thought of. While being a wind-type wolf, she could even master fire!
Not only that, but when Aella would gain fire-based skills, it would be Shin who would benefit from it in the end.
'She must definitely choose this!', Shin decided for her. But…
It seemed as if Aella had different plans of her own.
"Master…"
"Is it alright if I choose the Gale Wolf option?"
"…"
