Chapter 120: Swift Shadow Wolf
The Snow Feather Goblin did not show the expected resistance towards the Gray Wolf.
Alu said that they had coexisted peacefully with the Snow Wolves in the snowy mountains for a long time, and it was precisely because of the Snow Feather Goblins’ fair attitude that they had been able to survive there year-round.
Zane looked at the former Gray Wolf King.
The wolf nodded, “Child, you are now the leader of the Gray Wolf tribe, so you should decide how to proceed.”
No way, did you think you could just hand over the task and become a bystander?
That said, there was no choice but to face it head-on.
“Aw—!”
Zane let out a howl to the sky, activating the skill to call the wolf pack.
The Gray Wolves gathered nervously.
“Warriors! Although we have agile speed and unyielding dignity, in this chaotic era, these alone are not enough.”
The Gray Wolves fell silent, and even the Snow Feather Goblins, along with the few humans and gremlins present, became calm.
“This migration has cost us many companions, but it is unavoidable. If we continue to stay in the Grey Ridge Plain, our descendants will be enslaved by humans, and the pelts of the full-grown wolves will be stripped to make leather clothing, while their flesh will be made into various dishes.”
“So, we must seek another path.”
“This is the clan leader of the Snow Feather Goblins.” Zane raised a wolf paw and pointed to Alu.
Alu jumped onto Mo Se’s back, and the Ice Flow surged in their hands, automatically attracting water elements from the surroundings.
“I have thought for a long time and decided—to form an alliance with them.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the pack of wolves began to murmur.
After a while, Mick asked, “Will we become their pets?”
This was the concern of most of the Gray Wolves. After all, they were merely Black Iron grade-level 10+ monsters, and compared to 20+ level Silver grade—Snow Feather Goblins—they were not comparable. If the Goblins wanted, they could wipe out the Gray Wolf tribe in an instant.
“No!” Zane said firmly.
“I have already negotiated with them to each occupy a territory in the Crimson Plain and support each other. Of course, just this verbal promise is not enough.”
“Alu will stay to help you, and during this time, you must grow stronger, while the Snow Feather Goblins will earn your trust over time.”
Indeed, Zane was referring to Mo Se.
It had already been tested that Mo Se could not enter the pet space.
Moreover, it would not disappear after going offline.
Before coming here, Zane had directed Mo Se to move in a certain direction, and after going offline and back online, it was found to have reached its destination.
Furthermore, it could break the common 50-yard range limit of ordinary pets. Even if it moved away from its owner, it could safely return with just a thought.
The Gray Wolves felt reassured upon hearing this; although this giant beetle looked fearsome, its loyalty to their leader was no less than theirs. With it around, they need not fear even if those adventurers came again.
In addition, as Gray Wolves, they also had their own pride. Since the relocation site had already been determined, they needed to work hard to improve themselves; otherwise, the migration would only repeat itself.
Mick looked up and said, “Leader, we will not disappoint you!”
…
And thus, the matter was settled.
As they passed through the maze of boulders, the land ahead reflected a crimson hue, and upon closer inspection, the earth was black and red in alternating colors.
There was a pitiful lack of trees and vegetation, but faintly, they could see three or four small moving dots, likely animals residing in this area.
Though the threat from enemies had diminished, resources were also extremely limited. It was uncertain whether the wolf pack and the Goblins could successfully build a home; if they couldn’t settle down, they would need to look for a new place.
At this moment, a system notification sound emerged.
“Ding!”
System Notification: Congratulations! You have completed the task ‘Migration’ with an S+ rating, earning the special skill book ‘Battle Roar’ *1.
System Notification: Congratulations! You have gained the recognition of all Gray Wolves, earning the special profession ‘Swift Shadow Wolf,’ evolving into a Silver grade leader!
Suddenly, Zane felt his body uncontrollably expand, with an indescribable power surging within.
When he regained his senses, his viewpoint was noticeably elevated.
From Starry’s perspective, his size had roughly tripled.
He looked like a completely different species.
Check Info.
Swift Shadow Wolf: A wind wolf that exists only in legends.
Strength: ★★★
Agility: ★★★☆
Intelligence: ★★☆
Spirit: ★★☆
Stamina: ★★★
Lightning Charge: As swift as lightning, executes a sudden charge at the target, dealing 175% physical damage and increasing movement speed by 100% for 10 seconds, with a cooldown of 30 seconds.
Storm Domain: Commanding the winds, after use, creates a storm in the target area, dealing continuous slicing damage of 75%*2 per second. Enemies within the storm’s area have their movement speed reduced by 50%, lasting 5 seconds, with a cooldown of 10 minutes.
Summon Gray Wolves: Come forth, warriors! After use, summons 3 designated Gray Wolves, which can be bound through a contract or randomly summoned. Lasts for 60 seconds, with a cooldown of 10 minutes. The summoned Gray Wolves possess power equal to their original strength.
Swift Shadow Wolf!? Zane was struck by the information screen like a bolt of lightning.
These three skills were clearly enhanced versions of his original skills.
Lightning Charge not only maintained the previous speed boost effect but also added an enhanced charge effect, with 175% instant damage! With a high boost to movement speed, outplaying opponents from a distance was no longer a dream!
Storm Domain enhanced the Storm Claw skill, turning a single AOE strike into continuous area damage, while also adding a slicing slowdown effect that could not be purified away!
And this Summon Gray Wolves, which was originally the skill to call the wolf pack, seemed to have evolved into a more reliable summoning skill. According to the skill’s literal meaning, as long as he contracted with three powerful Gray Wolves, it was equivalent to having three high-tier combat powers! Although it only lasted for one minute, that was like having three additional allies. If the Gray Wolves were strong enough…
Zane shook off the daydream. It was too far-fetched; how much could a Black Iron grade small monster accomplish? The biggest use of this skill might be to absorb firepower three times.
Before he had a chance to examine his attributes, the former wolf king’s voice rang out beside him.
“By the wolf god, what am I seeing!? The birth of a Swift Shadow Wolf!”
Mick trembled, saying, “I have never heard of a Gray Wolf evolving into a Swift Shadow Wolf…”
Alu was nearby and nearly lost balance, overwhelmed with disbelief, pointing at Zane and saying, “Swift Shadow Wolf!? It actually evolved from a Gray Wolf!?”
“Uh…” Zane awkwardly scratched his head, bewildered by what had just happened!
While they were losing their composure, Zane looked at the skill book in his bag.
Battle Roar: Release all your might, increasing the physical attack power of surrounding 10*10 friendly targets by 25%. When attacking, there is a 5% chance to tear the opponent, lasting for 60 seconds, with a cooldown of 10 minutes.
Tear: Wounds cannot heal by themselves, and the effect of healing received is reduced by 50%.
