Chapter 160 Clan Formed: Reward - Phoenix Blood
Chapter 160 Clan Formed: Reward - Phoenix Blood
Now that Shin knew about where to find those artifacts, he thought that it was troublesome since it involved humans.
[ -> The tears can provide pure and mana worth 4000 years ]
This was something that caught Shin's eyes so he had already decided to get the artifacts.
But for now, he wanted to stay away from them since there were other things that concerned him – such as Clan Wars.
For a clan war, he had to prepare his own Clan. Of course, there are tons of Clan wars that may be among the same race or different races, however, what Shin was looking for was just within the race, for now, that is.
'Hmm, I can accept the elves and let them stay here for now.', was what Shin decided.
'Tell me system, how many areas do I own?'
'Ding'
[ You own 5 areas – Swamps ]
[ The Northern Swamp – Lian Plains, The Southern Swamp – Alar Valley, The Easter Swamp – Mon Vario, The Western Swamp – Paren Reiol, and The Central Swamp – The Monster Graveyard ]
The System then suddenly displayed a map on the screen showing where the swamps were located exactly.
The map showed Thuren as the forest at the center of the entire continent. And the five swamps were surrounding it in a distinct way – one towards the north which Shin had visited earlier, and another towards the south where Shin was supposed to go.
Of course, the central Swamp was present in the forest of Thuren.
The remaining weren't actually attached to the forest but were after the kingdoms – the kingdoms that were mentioned earlier lied between the remaining swamps and the forest.
In any case, Shin could see lines connecting the swamps. They were forming a square-like, or to be precise a quadrilateral image with a dot in the center.
'Interesting…', Shin said to himself with a little smirk while liking his nose unknowingly.
Furthermore, he could see a red dot on the Kingdom of Levonia as if the system wanted the kingdom to be wiped out.
Shin ignored that for now and refrained from asking any questions regarding that matter.
'Yes, I will make this forest my base.', this was what Shin concluded after studying the map for an hour!
The elves could remain here and there would be no problem about their travel, for now at least.
Also, conquering the entire forest wouldn't take much longer if Shin were to become stronger and evolve to the next rank.
After all, the higher the rank he climbs, the more authority he will have. That way, he would be able to control a wide range of people and beings without adding much effort.
'Hmm, I wonder…'
'How long would it take to make this place suitable?'
He thought that he had to get rid of all the large and strong beasts that resided in the forest.
Either they should join him, or they should die – these were the only two options that he considered at the moment.
He was a predator, after all, so he didn't have to give much of a thought when it came to matters regarding hunting.
Shin was now confident about what he had to do and what he wasn't supposed to do.
In any case, he waited for the elves to approach him again. He rested for a few hours to regain his strength so that he could resume his search.
And as he expected, his patience was answered and the chief appeared in front of him again.
But this time, it was a bit more different than earlier.
Other elves, not all, but many others who seemed to have a leading role in their tribes approached Shin along with the chief.
"Master…"
"We discussed and now we have finally decided…"
"We would like to follow you." – was what the chief said while kneeling on the ground.
The same was for others, while they said nothing, their actions did the job. They too bowed in front of Shin with sincerity.
However, Shin was still interested in hearing the answer to the questions he had asked earlier to the chief, due to which, he just stared at him without saying anything else.
The chief understood instantly and said, "We were guarded by our lord Celestial and had pledged our loyalty to him…"
"But now that we do the same to you, we would serve under you and only for you until you breathe your last breath." – was what he said bravely.
The answer seemed satisfying. They basically meant that after Shin died, they would again serve the Elf Celestial.
To elves, the life span of a wolf was almost negligible, especially for Arb Elves who thought that they could live for eternity if abnormal conditions were to be prevented.
But little did they know that their thinking and dreams about serving the Elf Celestial again was delusional – after all, Shin had his sights set high – to become a Celestial himself.
And becoming a Celestial or even a High Ranking monster would automatically increase the life force of the said beast which undoubtedly would give Shin many years to live!
Whatever now the fact was simple, the Elves wanted to join him and awaited his response.
Terran and Kaily were looking towards Shin intensely and were wondering what was happening. It was not as if they knew nothing, they had somewhat guessed by the behaviors and actions of the elves.
However, they still bore doubts about the situation.
Alira was in deep sleep and knew nothing about what was going on.
Shin closed his eyes for a brief moment and after finally deciding said, "Fine."
"You may join our Clan."
'Yes…'
'I will definitely not regret this decision.', was what he kept saying to himself all along.
"Thank you!", all of them said in unison.
As soon as Shin agreed, other members popped out of the treehouses and started to show signs of joy by cheering or hugging each other.
Was it such a big thing for them? – Shin questioned.
Perhaps it was. Whatever, now they were part of Shin's family and there was just no way that he wouldn't help them and get rid of their trouble.
However, for now, he had something else to think about.
'Ding'
[ You have created a Clan ]
[ The crest will be modified ]
As soon as these texts appeared, the crests on all of the bodies of the familia members did get modified.
They became advanced. Earlier, it just looked like a wolf's head with a wavy texture while forming a triangular form, but now, the crest became a bit large and turned silvery-white completely.
However, the triangular form was still maintained and the sharp but wavy pattern too.
In any case, this happened because the elves who became the members of the clan had got the previous crests on their bodies. So for distinction, perhaps the previous crests just evolved.
That was not all, since a clan was formed, Shin unlocked a new achievement that gave him some different benefits along with his clan members.
[ -> All physical stats for the familia members will be increased by +10 points ]
[ -> The newly joined members of the Clan would gain a +5 increase in their stat points excluding MP ]
This was fair enough since the Clan had been created just a few seconds ago.
The boosts weren't that large and weren't that small either, they were a good addition.
However, this didn't mean that the system had nothing else to add.
It still had to give boosts to Shin which it would prioritize for sure!
[ You will receive the following benefits for being the Clan Leader ]
[ -> Item: Phoenix Blood ( 1 drop ) ]
[ -> 200 stat points ]
[ -> All active skills will be leveled up by 1 ]
With these increases in stats, levels and even gaining an item, Shin was sure that there were tons of other things that would give him dope leveling ups.
He had to find the methods to unlock those achievements in hidden missions but oh well, he was satisfied with this much right now.
He was intrigued by the item which he received a second ago too – Phoenix Blood.
'I wonder what that is…', he wondered.
Well, the system showed him the info regardless of what he thought.
[ Phoenix Blood ]
[ -> It is believed that a phoenix has to power to rise from the ashes after the death of its physical body and is considered immortal ]
[ -> Its blood is considered to have the power to bring the dead back to life ]
"Huh?"
"Wha-"
"What did I read?" – Shin was shocked when he read that.
The elves were rejoicing so no one noticed or heard what he said but yes, he was astonished by the artifact.
But there was something else to notice too. Yes, a few conditions along with the item which Shin had almost missed. He would have definitely missed it if not for the voice of the system.
[ -> 1 drop and bring 1 being back to life if the being is made to drink the blood within 00:00:02:00 ( 2 minutes ) after death ]
"…"
