Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats - Chapter 174

‘But why did they lie?’

‘Why is there a need to hide the fact that she came here?’

Shin was confused at the moment and many more thoughts ran into his mind. He knew that Aella was someone who couldn’t freely converse with other races so she had very little chance of verbally threatening them.

So there was something else that caused them to lie. But what was that? Shin continued to question himself but he couldn’t find the answer.

He had to ask them after all but for that, he had to reduce their suspicion. Yes, Shin noticed that the mages all of a sudden started to look at him with suspicious eyes.

Shin could see that the only one who had a different expression the entire time was none other than the only goblin mage with whom he had ever conversed properly. So he knew instinctively that something was definitely going on and there was something that made them reluctant or prevented them from saying the truth.

“Sigh, hear me out.”

“I’m in no mood to joke. I really need to know the truth, so tell me, was she really here or not?”

Well, he didn’t require to ask them again since he had already estimated that she was here after seeing their reactions and using a bit of common sense. But then again, he wanted to be completely sure because of which he asked them again.

The mages looked at each other again and were going to shake their heads again in denial when suddenly, the one who knew Shin, said, “I think we should stop deceiving master and tell him the truth.”

The goblins were still reluctant however the mage convinced them and said, “I understand why you all are doubting him.”

“You think that he isn’t powerful right?”, when the mage asked this, other goblin mages seemed to agree.

“But let me tell you, master is much more powerful than him!”

However just saying that wouldn’t prove anything so the goblin mage asked Shin, “Master, it would be great if you could show them a sample of your powers.”

“Sigh…”

‘How bothersome.’

While thinking that, Shin used a skill to prove the mage’s words and show his powers.

Of course, it wasn’t exactly using a skill, to be precise, he just deactivated a skill.

Yes, the skill which prevented his Aura from leaking – Aura control – he deactivated it only to show the difference in class and strength.

Though, he had taken into account their levels too. All the five mages were D rank with varied levels which averaged around 25 to 30.

[ Level: 29 || Max. level: 30 ]

[ Level: 27 || Max. level: 30 ]

[ Level: 2… ]

Without wasting any time, the skills deactivation too affect.

‘Ding’

[ The skill Aura control has been deactivated ]

Right after that, a large amount of pressure started to build up around Shin which started affecting the mages.

Earlier the only thing in front of their eyes was a pup and nothing more, but now, they could see a wild and hungry mad beast. The image that they saw was that of a beast salivating in order to massacre the goblins and eat them to fill its stomach.

*shiver shiver*

‘How is that wolf emitting such an aura…?’

‘Is that even a wolf?’

‘No…’

‘What kind of monstrous being is that?’

All the goblin mages had similar thoughts. It was the same for the goblin mage who was familiar with Shin.

‘Master never fails to surprise me…’, was what he thought initially.

‘But come to think of it, isn’t the pressure much stronger than before?’

Earlier, he had witnessed very little of the aura. There were trees around which emitted natural mana due to which, a little of aura just dispersed.

However, now that they were in a barren land with nothing but rocks around, the aura completely dominated. Also, Shin was a level higher so the aura would have definitely been stronger.

“We…”

“We accept you as our leader!” – the mages knelt on the ground immediately after the rumbling that was heard.

Yes, all the goblins from the caves sensed this and ran with all their might. While some ran towards the inside of the cave – cowards – who feared death, others ran out of the cave to see what was going on – they were either curious or were brave or could be classified as mere fools with no intellect.

Either way, they too witnessed the immense aura. They could do nothing but kneel at the sight of Shin. Yes, while the mages knelt, others felt that they had to do so.

Also, it was their instinct that was crying out loud to do nothing foolish and just crawl on the ground in front of a superior beast.

“Let’s be clear…”

“I did not come to lead anyone.”, Shin thought it was best, to be frank.

“I just want details about Aella.”

“Do you guys know where she went after arriving here?” – Shin asked.

Since the land was rocky, no more footprints could be seen thus even the system couldn’t track her. Also, her scent was way too faint because of which Shin couldn’t find the route or path which she took next.

Using the system, he confirmed that Aella wasn’t around so now the only way that was left for him was to ask the goblins.

‘Ding’

[ The skill Aura Control has been enabled ]

Shin enabled the skill again to lessen the burden that was being thrown on them. All he needed was an answer so there was no need to threaten now that they realized how much of a deadly beast he could be – the feeling of aura was more like a threat, to begin with.

“Miss Aella went with another wolf.” – was what the goblin mages said in unison.

“Huh?”

Shin thought that he misheard so he asked them to repeat. They said the same thing again.

“Aella went with some other wolf?”, Shin’s eyes widened when he heard that because it sounded mysterious and unbelievable.

“Yes…”, the goblins nodded their heads.

“Who!?”

“With whom did she go!?”

“…”
