Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 116: CHAPTER 116 – Ethereal Canis.

As Noctura reached closer to the tree, she could see blood and gore everywhere.

There were residues of goblins, humans, and beasts all piled up together. Some had their faces eaten, some had their legs, and some had something else eaten.

None of them were eaten completely, it was like the one who ate them just a bit and then stopped.

But the real reason for that was that the Gray Goblin only ate its prey till it was alive and then moved on to the next one. The Gray Goblin didn't have time to waste on eating a single pray completely as its other catches might die, and it wouldn't get any profit if it ate them after their death.

Noctura looked up on the tree and she could see a human-sized gray goblin wearing some tattered clothes of some dead raiders.

It had a cut on its hand as it coated the arrows with it and shot them toward Anna hurriedly as they would melt if it took time.

Noctura could see the acidic blood falling on the ground and making a 'Ssssssssssssss' sound.

This was enough to make Noctura reconsider her plan, she couldn't bite the neck of a creature that had its blood so acidic that it could melt the ground.

As she thought about what she could do in this situation, she recalled a lesson that Alex had given her.

"You have a great affinity for the shadow element, Noctura.

All you have to do is make use of it, you need to become one with shadow.

Why do you want to grow strong? Think of it and try to dwell deeper into the shadows.

You need motivation, and it is up to you how you get that, I can't always be there for you."

Noctura never actually understood what that meant because she was getting her attention from Alex all she wanted, but right now, she could lose it all.

'If I disappointed Master, then he might not love me anymore, he might not care for me anymore, he might not pat me anymore, he might now play with me anymore, he might not look at me anymore, he might not want me anymore...….'

As Noctura grew more and more insecure thinking about what would happen if she disappointed Alex, her fur started to turn darker while her eyes shifted from golden, blue to red.

However, she did not notice any of that, she was just overthinking about something that would never happen.

Alex was never going to abandon her, nor was he going to get disappointed, it was just what he said to motivate Noctura.

Every person or living being trains or grows stronger just for two things, either it is for revenge, or it is to not lose something they had.

Noctura didn't need revenge on anyone, she had all she wanted, she could get Alex's attention, and she could eat the best food made by Alex, so she had a smooth sailing life.

Alex's words just made her think of the situation where she would lose everything.

Noctura's body trembled as she imagined herself being thrown away by Alex, and just then her eyes turned pitch black like her fur, and the surroundings turned dark, the trees trembled, and the leaves shrank.

The small plants shrank back as if they were fearful.

The grey goblin that was about to shoot another arrow at Anna stopped as it saw all that and quickly started searching for the thing or being that caused the changes.

It was not just the goblin that was on high alert, even Anna was ready to use her most powerful attack when she saw the changes, she could also feel the dangerous aura coming from the direction of the tree.

But then...

"Good job, pup," Alex who saw all this smiled, while Alice and Ann smiled as well after they recovered from their shock.

They were shocked as they could feel the same suppression or aura they felt from Alex when he was naming Noctura.

For them, it felt almost the same but in truth, the aura that Alex had at that time was 100s of times more powerful not more than what Noctura had right now, it was just they were still too weak to feel the difference.

Anna, however, was still in shock, 'That was done by that small wolf??'

Anna couldn't believe it and she wanted to ask some questions, but she knew her place and she knew that she had no right to ask those questions.

She just stood there and looked at the spectacle in shock.

Noctura who was still absent-mindedly staring at the grey goblin with her ink-black eyes finally came out of her rivery.

The darkness that covered the whole area was gone and the surroundings returned back to how they were.

Notura had finally awakened a part of her bloodline that is called 'Ethereal Canis'.

It was a very powerful bloodline that might match the celestial bloodlines, and the originator of this bloodline was going to be Noctura herself as the bloodline was something that mutated from within her body.

All Alex's blessing did was upgrade Noctura's blood to the maximum it could.

Noctura who was still hidden, now felt that she had more control over the shadow she was hiding in.

She lifted her paw and the next second her claws which were 2 centimeters long grew and became 6 centimeters. But the extra part that was added was not actually her claw, it was the shadow, she morphed the shadow into her claw.

Noctura waved her paw toward the ground and the extra part that was added to her claws shot towards the ground making a claw mark appear below.

Noctura then smiled as she looked towards the Goblin who was still looking around for the cause of the earlier changes.

It felt like it was being stared at by a predator, one that it would never be able to defeat.

But the goblin wanted to try, it had always had a hard life, from the moment it was born till now it never got love, instead, it was berated, beaten, cursed, and many other things.

However, because of all that the grey goblin got to know about its powers, and one day when its food was snatched away from it, the grey goblin ate a living being for the first time, and it was a newborn, one-month-old baby goblin.

It could've eaten other things or hunted some beast but the child it ate was the brother of the goblin that always made the gray goblins life hard.

The gray goblin laughed as it saw the child squealing like a pig, begging to let it go, but the grey goblin didn't listen instead it bit off a chunk of that child's meat.

The child cried in pain as it was being eaten alive, but the grey goblin was not even listening to it as it could feel it was getting stronger by eating.

From that day till now, it had been growing stronger by eating its enemies and it would do it today as well.

'I will eat all of them, they look strong, hehehehe'

The goblin laughed inwardly as it thought about how strong it would get if it ate those people but then....

*Woosh*
