Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats - Chapter 194
“Yes, it was my special attack – Destroyer eyes!”, she smirked as she said that.
Terran was startled as well as fascinated after hearing that. The attack was superb after all. It took no time to free and there was no harm done to him so he was glad to know that she had such an attack.
He could easily fall into another trap so the said attack would help him again!
“Phew, glad that it worked and you didn’t burn into ashes…”, she murmured.
“Huh? What did you just say?”, Terran’s eyes widened when he heard her say that.
“N-nothing! It’s not important.”, Kaily kept her calm smile as if she had said something unimportant.
“No, I definitely heard you say something about ‘Burn into ashes!’. What was that?”
Terran was not someone that would let her go just like that. He had every right to ask since she really did just mention something bizarre.
“Actually, the special attack that I used earlier is hard to control…”
“And?”, Terran looked at her with a ferocious gaze with imaginary black smoke surrounding him.
He wanted her to get to the main point of the matter quickly.
“Ahem, so, when that skill is used, it strains the eye due to which I have to try hard not to blink.”
“And what will happen if you blink?”, Terran asked.
“Well…”
“Everything that I saw just before blinking would be destroyed completely.”, she said while looking in the opposite direction and trying to walk away.
“I see.”
“That is nothing to worry about.”
When Kaily heard Terran say that, she was surprised. She thought that he would be pissed after hearing that and would try to scold her and chomp her! But quite the opposite happened, for now at least.
She stopped walking further and was about to return when Terran showed his true colors.
“Did you really expect me to say that!?”
“How dare you use such a bizarre attack!?”
“Were you out of your mind?”, he asked while shouting at the top of his voice.
“…”, and from that day onwards, Kaily stopped trusting all those who would show a completely different attitude with respect to the situation.
Terran sighed and looked a bit tired. It was because his mana was drained a bit. The roots apparently drain mana while the prey is kept captive forcefully to kill them faster – of course, the trees spend energy and their own mana in this process.
“Anyway, we should continue moving forward…”, Terran looked towards the farthest point that he could see from there but could find nothing since they were surrounded by nothing but trees.
Of course, there was free space but it was just as big as a soccer stadium probably because the roots were spread everywhere – some called this place Root Land – not a creative name.
In any case, now Terran decided to continue the journey before which he wanted to ask Kaily for advice if they were heading in the right direction.
“Um, is this the rig-”
“What the heck!?”, he turned back only to be surprised.
Before him, a completely different being was standing. It was for the first time after a couple of centuries that he had seen the being.
“A human!?”, he took a few steps back instinctively.
He had already started to hate the human race since the beginning and the hate had probably become a part of his instinct which forced him to jump backward or take a few steps backward.
Yes, instead of attacking, his instincts were telling him to run away – probably because kindness was mixed with the ‘hate’.
But a human? Did Kaily transform into a human now? But the rule was that a part would remain as a wolf then how could she end up being a human? Perhaps it was only the appearance of a human with some internal organ of a wolf?
Not precisely but yes, she transformed into a demi-human. Other than having a young girl’s body, she had wolf-like ears.
Her hair was black while her skin was pale white – quite fair. Her deep black pupil made her look almost exactly like a human, though, the ears made sure that she was a demi-human.
The ears, unlike humans, popped a little to the verticle right above the head which Terran missed at the moment because he was startled by her mere appearance.
“It’s me, brat! Did you already forget my change of appearance curse?”, She sighed.
Although not a curse, it was something similar since she no longer had her individuality.
‘This is the price I paid for messing with the laws of nature.’, she sighed again and again.
“Ah it’s yo-”
And just when he heard her voice and was about to sigh with confirmation, the roots pulled him up yet again. Yes, he fell into the trap the second time.
“Ugh, not again…”
He was hanging upside down now. Well, he could easily free himself but he thought that Kaily could do it better.
“Hey, free me already!”, he shouted.
“Oh my, didn’t you say that my skill was too dangerous?”
“Why do you want me to help now?”, she smirked as if she was teasing him.
Well, while it was true that it was dangerous, Terran too knew that Kaily wouldn’t go ahead and do something that isn’t tested. After being cursed for messing with nature, she had learned a big lesson and therefore she would always do things after thinking at least ten times!
So Terran knew that the skill could be trusted if Kaily was the one using it.
“I’m sorry for that, now hurry up and help me!”, he shouted yet again.
“I accept your apology brat but the thing is, I can’t use that skill…”, she denied while shaking her head.
“What do you mean?”
“As I mentioned, it is a special skill which was available only in that form. Now that my form changed, the set of skills granted to me has changed too.”
“…”
“Huh?”
