Chapter 507: Side: Fenrir
The little wolf of my kin seems to be worrying about something.
Not only did he want to be useful to them, but he also wanted to be able to continue to fight alongside them.
That’s why he was worried, he wanted to become stronger, but it was difficult for him.
?Woof Woof??Kyain!?
Today too, he challenged a superior magic beast and suffered a painful attack.
I know what he’s trying to do. He’s trying to take in the power of a stronger magic beast using his predatory absorption skill to achieve his evolution.
His way of triggering it wasn’t entirely wrong.
After all, some individuals could evolve abnormally by taking in the blood and flesh of a stronger opponent. Moreover, Urushi was also a unique individual. So, there was a possibility.
But he couldn’t do so in his current state. The blood and flesh of a magic beast with a mere threat level of C was insufficient. Urushi was stronger than them, and it’s not because of his level or compatibility, there’s not that much difference between the races after all.
If Urushi wanted to trigger a new evolution, he would need to take in a large amount of blood and flesh from magic beasts with a threat level of A or higher, and at least one of each type.
No, I think Urushi himself knows that. He was being reckless in his search for a stronger magic beast, and finally, tragedy struck him.
?Gyauuuf!?
?Urushiii!?
Urushi let out a scream of grief that we had never heard before and was blown to the sky. The opponent that attacked him was a two-legged magic beast that was over 15 meters long. Well, I don’t think I would call it two-legged since it was using its tail to support its body though.
It was a variety of the dragon species called an Evil dragon. It’s classified as an earth dragon with retracted wings, hard scales, tight muscles, and overwhelming physical attack power. In particular, its arm’s attacks were as powerful as an attack from a magic beast with a threat level of B.
Previously, Urushi was having a hard time fighting against a brute lizard, which was a lower species of this magic beast, so there is no way that the current Urushi can defeat this magic beast.
Urushi, who had been blown 50 meters away, was convulsing with his body bleeding profusely. His internal organs were spilling out of his stomach, and both of his right legs were torn off. His spine was probably broken as well. Half of his face was crushed, and this might have affected his brain.
He was probably unconscious. Urushi was unable to escape from the scene.
All I can do now is watch over Urushi, my kin. I’m just a Divine Beast with a soul on the verge of extinction after all.
?Haaa!?
?Bughuuh!?
It was Fran who stepped in to help.
She struck with a series of lightning magic to draw the attention of the Evil Dragon, and then cast a recovery spell on Urushi. However, his wounds were not even recovering with the amount of recovery magic that Fran had cast.
?Why!? Greater Heal!?
?Wu, wuuf…?
?No good…?
When Urushi regained consciousness, she used regeneration together with her healing magic, but the recovery was still slow.
?Bugwooooh!?
?Kuh… Urushi, sorry!?
?Wo, woof…?
Fran carried Urushi and continued to distance herself from the dragon. And after a few minutes of running, Fran set Urushi down and tried to heal him again.
The potions and other items that Master had given to them were all used up, but Urushi was not completely healed yet. This was not the fault of Fran or the others. The Evil Dragon was a power fighter, but it is also good at handling magic for a dragon. It is particularly good at life magic, which strengthens itself, but its life magic also includes a technique that blocks its opponent’s recovery.
It seems that magic was carried from that arm’s blow.
As a result, Urushi ended up losing his right hind leg and his right eye.
If Master had been there, the outcome would have been different, but with just Fran and Urushi, it would have been fortuitous that they survived.
?Urushi… Sorry?
?Woof woof!?
?Nn…?
?Woof!?
?I understand, I’m sure you’ll evolve someday?
Even in such a state, Urushi did not lose his desire to evolve. Rather, he became even more determined, didn’t he?
Urushi wholeheartedly desired to become even stronger for the sake of his Master.
?Kyaiin!?
?Grrrr…!?
?Wo, woof…?
With one eye and one leg missing, the sight of Urushi pushing himself into a fierce battle looked, Divine.
He struggled while looking up to the heavens as he walked forward, he reminded me of myself in the past. I absorbed the pieces of the Evil God, and while being consumed by its power, I continued to fight for my creator, until I finally exceeded my limits and collapsed.
That’s why I couldn’t stand the sight of Urushi getting hurt and being worn out day by day. It had been about 30 days since Urushi lost his legs and eyes. So, I involuntarily call out to Urushi.
Sorry Master, this may prolong your restoration. But I need to do this.
?Urushi… You may evolve now?
?Grru…!?
Urushi has reached his evolvable level. He probably knows this himself. That his efforts had not been rewarded.
If he continued like this, he could evolve into the Dark Knight Wolf. But Urushi refused to do so, by struggling to block the magic power that had begun to flow within him.
However, he couldn’t continue refusing his evolution, he might lose his life due to the outburst of his magic power after all. Seeing his foolishness, I couldn’t help but do something for him.
?But you do have one option…?
?Gurru??
?…I will give some of my power to you. With it, you can choose a new path?
?Woof!?
?However, that path is full of loneliness?
To receive a part of my power, which is a wolf but also not a wolf, means that Urushi will also be transformed into something that is a wolf but not a wolf too.
He will evolve into a new species that wouldn’t exist anywhere else in this world. But that also means that he wouldn’t be able to find another member from his new species.
This was an unusual evolution that will affect his whole life. Even though his form is that of a wolf, it goes beyond even that category. Urushi, who was not a Divine Beast, would be truly lonely.
?So, the price of this power is loneliness. It’s not like you’re going to be left behind by Master or Fran. But you’ll be left alone, outside the confines of your species?
?Woof!?
?Are you sure? For the sake of your Master, you’re willing to be lonely??
?Woof…!?
?…I’ve heard your resolve. So be it. I’ll give you power!?
I borrowed some power from Master and shared it with Urushi. This must have put a lot of strain on Master.
However, I was sure that Master would forgive me. I was confident of that. In fact, if I did nothing, he would be rather angry with me.
The magic that Urushi had been blocking was mixed with the power I had given to him. It began to circulate, and I could feel it seeping into his body. His body was being remade, and he was beginning to evolve into a different species.
?Gauuf… Grru…?
Was it painful? But this was not even an ordeal when you’re going to become a completely different species.
?Urushi! Are you okay??
Fran shouted when she saw Urushi, who suddenly began to suffer from a huge amount of magic power after the battle. His voice won’t be able to reach the little girl. To Fran, it would appear as if Urushi was in a mysterious state of an outburst.
?Urushi!?
?Grruu…?
Urushi did not lose consciousness or cry out, but simply continued to stand on his knees with all the strength in his body. That’s right, if you can’t handle something like this, you’ll never be able to overcome the many trials that will come your way!
?Ghurrruuuuu!?
And then, he had evolved.
?Ghuuwooooff!?
The roar of a new Demon Wolf echoed across the moonlit plains. It was the voice of birth, the cry of the soul that signified a farewell to the cradle of his species.
A vicious mixture of black and gold magic rose from his body, which had swollen to the size of a small mountain. His missing hind legs and eyes seemed to have been completely regenerated. His thick limbs stomped on the earth, and his sharp face glared at the darkness.
Originally his fur had a slight red tint to it, but it has probably become even red now. In addition, silver hair grew like a mane on his back.
?Urushi. You have become a new magic beast. Your race now is a Ragnarok Wolf. Abhorred by all other wolves, you are alone in this world. This is must be what you’ve always wanted?
?Woof!?
?That’s a good reply?
In exchange for his loneliness, Urushi has gained great power. I’m sure he will be able to continue to fight alongside Fran and Master now.
?Urushi…? Evolved…??
?Woof?
?So cool?
?Woof!?
Ah yes. Give him more compliments, Miss Fran. Because that was exactly what Urushi was looking for.
