Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats - Chapter 181
“You mean, the white wolf which almost defeated you?”, the black wolf who seemed to be the leader of the pack asked this with astonishment.
“Yes.”
“As I mentioned, the reason I am alive is probably because he didn’t chase me and thought that it was futile to kill such a worthless beast.”
“If he had really chased me then I would be dead meat by now.”, the Shadow wolf general, which was considered to be one of the peak ranks for the wolves, was afraid of Shin who was still just a high lord and nothing more.
The shadow wolf general might have just praised Shin a bit too much, but doing this precisely would probably reduce the amount of shame that he would suffer.
“But I am sure that he isn’t a match for you master.”, the wolf smirked as he said that.
“Don’t you think the same?”, he turned back to ask the same to the wolves that were following Deoras.
However, none of them could answer confidently. All of them were actually shivering due to the chills that was being aroused from Shin’s Aura.
The same was true for Deoras. Although he wasn’t shivering in fear like others, he could clearly see the difference in leagues between them.
“I wouldn’t be so sure.”, he said in a calm tone to the shadow wolf general.
“Eh?”
He too knew that the difference in aura was quite great, however, at the same time, he thought that it was wise to bootlick his own master whom he had been following.
After seeing him express his doubts, the shadow wolf general had to think otherwise.
*gulp*
‘I did expect him to be really strong just from the aura and the transformation, but I never expected master to give up so easily…’, the shadow wolf general thought.
Shin knew that all of them were awed and had no hostility. However, he still wanted to go and speak with them face-to-face!
*tap tap*
He took a long and large stride as he walked. His light feet yet heavy aura was another reason to instill fear.
“Tell me, what is this promise that both the parties have made.”
The hob-goblins were ready to tell the promise, but Shin paused them and asked the wolves instead.
‘Where is Aella?’
‘Is she among them?’
Only to know this, his legs moved. However, even before he could reach them, the system ended up answering.
‘Ding’
[ Denied ]
‘Sigh, maybe I should just stop searching her for now.’ – he said to himself yet again.
And then while trying to change the topic, he ended up asking about the promise while reaching the pack of wolves.
None of the wolves could look at Shin’s eyes directly, not even the said Deoras.
“The promise…”
“Will you tell me?”
“…”
“Y-Yes.”
Deoras swallowed a bit of dry saliva and then approached Shin.
In terms of size, yes, if the only size was compared, Deoras was twice the size of a human. This meant that he was almost four times Shin’s size since Shin was barely half or even less than a normal human’s size.
If this was indeed something that decided the strength of a beast, then everyone would be fearless with Deoras leading them.
Unfortunately, for wolves, color was the most important factor along with size of course. Shin was like a contrasting character in both cases.
Neither was his size that great nor was his color dark. In fact, one could arguably say that Shin was at the polar opposite when he was to be classified according to the standards.
In any case, now Deoras continued to explain and tell about the promise which he had made with the goblins.
( 53 days ago )
*huff huff*
*drip drip*
‘Dammit…’
‘Why did this happen all of a sudden?’
Deoras walked shakily as if he had lost almost entire of his strength.
His black body was completely covered with blood. His wounds were exposed to the outside which bleed continuously and much more vigorously when came in contact with bushes or leaves.
‘They are waiting for me…’
‘I need to find them…’
Right after taking five steps, the black wolf Deoras ended up exiting the forest only to find a bunch of goblins holding the wolves.
There were many black-colored wolves, out of which almost all were bleeding and were hurt. The goblins had surrounded them but not on all sides. The crowd was thin towards the side where the goblin mages were present that were using healing magic.
In any case, after Deoras spotted them, he thought that they were trying to take advantage of the weakened state and hunt the wolves since it would be easy to survive an entire month with their meat.
No monster would help others without any personal gain – this was something Deoras had concluded after seeing tons of things in his life.
*Aooooo*
He howled at the top of his voice and using his entire strength, dashed with all his might only to end up killing the goblin mage that was doing its best to heal the wolves by tearing its head apart with his mouth.
Right after that, he fainted while not knowing the exact situation.
Yes, there were 6 goblin mages earlier out of which one died in the mouth of Deoras.
When this happened, all the goblins, instead of fighting or attacking, ran away. Revenge or anger? No, all they could see was survival for themselves which was based on instincts after all.
However, the goblin mages decided to take action and thought about killing everyone while they were unconscious. But when they returned, four of the wolves were awake.
Two of them had seen what had happened and discussed it with the other two. After that, they begged for forgiveness and asked to continue the healing.
All of them woke up soon, after four hours, and realized what had happened. Deoras, with his head bowed, said – “We promise you, we will help you goblins in doing any one task no matter what the cost! Even if it is a war against humans, we would gladly comply.”
“…”
