Shin was already surprised that they had entered the forest, but now after hearing that they were able to exit too baffled him for sure.
'Just how smart are humans?', was what he asked himself.
Well, how did Shin even come to know that the Land Of Lost Ones was a dangerous place?
Did someone tell him or did he come to know that by instinct?
It was neither of them, in fact, he became aware of it when a system notification popped up.
'Ding'
[ Lost Zone detected ahead ]
[ Name: Land Of Lost Ones ]
[ 300 miles ahead towards the north ]
This was the notification that had popped up long ago when he has arrived in the forest and was hunting beasts.
Well, he had noticed this earlier too. When he was checking the map for navigation, a particular area was completely blank.
Sometimes it was either filled with only white color while the other times it was displayed as completely black.
Of course, he found it weird, and only after arrived close to it did he find out what it was. But he hadn't exactly experienced such a place due to which he knew no fear regarding the area.
Probably that was why he was able to enter the area easily, indeed, while thinking about Aella that is.
In any case, now Elvion was leading the way. He was using some magic that cleared the area around him thanks to which he was able to see the area clearly.
And while he was walking and following Elvion, he noticed some spears on the trees.
"This is...", Shin could tell that those were the spears used by humans, maybe because of the detailing or because he had seen a similar spear before near the dead body which he had found earlier!
"This belonged to those humans...", was what Elvion said.
"..."
Elvion confirmed it and now Ashok was completely sure that they had come to the forest!
'Well...'
'Not that I want to mess with humans...'
'But this is probably the third time that they have messed with me or my friends or family...'
When Shin said three times, he included the time when his parents were killed in the other world!
The next time was when he Reincarnated to this world and faced the humans the moment he opened his eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnd now was the third time when Aella went missing with their appearance making them the prime suspect!
"By the way..."
"Your growth rate is quite higher than any other wolves that I've seen..."
"What's the secret behind that?", Elvion asked.
"...", Shin became speechless when he heard this.
He didn't want to tell anything about that, but he couldn't possibly ignore Elvion because right now he was helping Shin!
"Ya..."
"I'm also shocked to see this.", Shin nodded his head while saying this as if he was trying to feign innocence.
Then continued to walk with the awkward silence that surrounded them and followed them.
A few more minutes passed by when suddenly Elvion asked, "You're surely not thinking that I'm helping you for free right?"
The moment he asked this, Shin paused walking.
It came as a surprise to him, all this time he had been thinking that Elvion was just helping him out of his own without asking for anything in return, but it seemed like he indeed wanted something from Shin.
"..."
"Ah, why did you stop...?", Elvion asked after walking a few steps ahead.
Shin started to walk again and joined him, but he failed to answer the question that Elvion ask.
Well, he did r even expect an answer because he knew that help from a Celestial was not something everyone would receive.
So without a doubt, he believed that Shin would be ready to do everything and anything for him, but he had his doubts.
"I want you to do something for me...", was what Elvion said while walking.
He no longer asked Shin any questions, he just started ordering!
And it seemed as if Shin had to obey him, there were two reasons for that - first of all Shin had received help from Elvion so he was indebted. He had to pay the debt back! The second reason was simple, Elvion was one of the strongest, so agreeing to him wouldn't hurt him.
Offending him would indeed put him at a disadvantage!
"Alright, so what should I do?", Shin asked.
"..."
"Hmm..."
"Now is not the time for you to know, I will tell you once you have attained human form...", was what Elvion said.
The moment Shin heard that he stopped walking.
It was as if the ground under his legs broke apart into pieces.
"Human form?", that was indeed something that Shin wanted to attain.
He really wanted to become a human again because of tons of limitations in animal form.
But that was much more difficult than becoming a Celestial! So he never expected to hear something so soon, and that too from Elvion.
One thing to note was Elvion's confidence. He didn't mention the word 'If', instead, he said 'When'.
It was as if he wasn't doubtful at all, he was completely sure that Shin would be able to attain the human form and probably he was keeping a task for him which he could do only when he was eligible!
In any case, this made Shin much more intrigued.
He wanted to know why Elvion trusted that he could transform into a human because till now there had been only one wolf who was able to do it, of course, it was the God of wolves, Fenrir also called Shin!
"Do you think I will be able to do that?", Shin asked in a low voice.
His primary concern was still Aella, but since the topic about transformation and humans was started by Elvion, Shin thought about asking and clearing his thoughts.
"Hmm..."
"I think..."
"You will be able to do it...", was what Elvion said.
A Celestial saying this is no less than a God saying himself!
Anyone's hope would peak up after hearing this.
"Your path will be difficult and you will face many challenges, but you will definitely be able to attain a human form!"
"..."
It was as if Elvion was telling the future.
Whatever, Shin was happy when he heard that. On top of it, he was excited to see that day come true.
But for now, he continued to worry about Aella.
Soon enough Elvion and Shin reached the edge of the area. They were about to exit the place when suddenly Elvion stopped.
"Huh? What happened Elvion...?"
"Why did you stop?", Shin said after turning back since he had moved a bit forward.
"Hmm..."
"I just got this doubt..."
"What are you going to do after editing this place?", Elvion asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Isn't it obvious? I'll get out of the forest and kill all those humans who kidnapped Aella!", was what Shin said.
"..."
"Is that so...?", Elvion stood at the same place and thought for a second.
Then, as if he made up his mind, he started to walk again.
Of course, Shin followed him closely and was soon out of the Land Of Lost Ones!
He was sure of that when the fog vanished!
"I'm finally out!", Shin howled probably because he was happy.
Well, it was Shin's foolishness that led him to run inside the Lost place!
If Elvion hadn't been there in the forest, then what would have Shin done?
"Thanks, Elvion! I'll see you later..."
"I'll fulfill the promise for sure and come to help you when you are in need!", after saying this, Shin dashed away from the place.
It seemed like Shin promised Elvion that he would definitely attain human form before he died, he also promised to come and help him when he needed the most, although that might rarely happen and he could hardly be any help!
"..."
"Interesting..."
"This is going to be interesting for sure..."
"One wolf against an entire kingdom..."
"Haha, he is more like a pup rather than a wolf..."
"So, one pup against an entire kingdom, who would win?", Elvion asked himself while laughing.
"This is indeed interesting but what is much more interesting is that..."
"He was emitting this new aura which I had never seen before..."
"A true dragon aura..."
"It was as if I was meeting a real dragon!"
"Haha!", Elvion continued to laugh.
"But what's more interesting than that is something which I had ignored earlier..."
"This happened not one nor twice, but numerous times!"
"..."
"He kept calling me by name, didn't he!?"
"..."
To be continued...
