Chapter 195 The Attacker - Part 1
"Huh?"
"What did you just say?"
Terran was completely shaken by her words. This was probably the first time she had ever mentioned her changing set of skills with her changing appearance.
"You mean to say, your skills change too just like your appearance?", Terran asked yet again for confirmation.
"Isn't that common sense brat?"
"If my appearance were to change into a mermaid, do you really think I would die from living underwater?"
"I would definitely get a skill that will let me breathe inside the water!"
"Also, if I were to change into a bird, wouldn't I get a fly skill that would let me fly?", Kaily asked.
This was indeed shocking. Without a doubt, this meant that Kaily had an infinite number of skills since she could change into an infinite number of beings. Of course, she couldn't control her changes and the skills that she would possess but that doesn't negate the fact that she could use almost all the skills out there!
*gulp*
Terran wanted to take more time thinking about this so he stopped asking her anything and used his own skill to free himself.
Of course, this time, instead of being freed by just destroying the roots, the entire landscape was destroyed!
Yes, since Terran didn't have any active short-ranged efficient skill, he was forced to destroy the trees to free himself.
"..."
"Brat did you really just do that!?", Kaily shouted at Terran after seeing the sand storms popping out of nowhere which plucked the trees with their roots intact from the ground!
"Well, I had to use my skill Sand storm, I didn't have any other better ones.", he nodded his head as if he had done something great.
Kaily dodged the effect of the skill by using a barrier which was a skill that she gained after the change of her appearance.
But a question lingered - Did Shin accept her by knowing that she could gain skills by changing her appearance or was it simply to increase the familia members? - after all, her stats and profile were never revealed. Did Shin just didn't bother to look at the profile, or did he look at it and control his emotions?
The answer is yes! Shin had seen her profile and thanks to the system's message he was sure that it would be best to accept Kaily into their group.

These were the stats that Shin had seen before naming her. Of course, Kaily did become her name which she loved to call herself.
In any case, Terran was a bit upset for now, perhaps furious!
"Listen, from now on don't hide any secrets!", Terran said.
Kaily looked at him and replied by saying, "Uh, I will try my best to tell all the important info beforehand."
In any case, Terran was now freed and Kaily was as good as new to go. Therefore, without arguing about anything else, both of them started to march towards the place which the elves had indicated.
So without fighting anymore, they continued and soon arrived near the place which the elves had indicated.
"Uh, I can pick up some scent which closely resembles master but for some reason, it is a bit different at the same time.", Terran sniffed around the place as his nose felt a bit itchy.
He had been with Shin for quite some time so he had memorized his scent, after all, sniffing him out was the only chance for him to get out of a dangerous forest if he were to get lost.
Kaily didn't know about that but she trusted him when he said that.
"What do you mean by something is different?" - Kaily asked.
"I don't know..."
"For some reason, the scent feels strangely similar but at the same time, it feels way differe-", and just as he was saying that, an attack was launched towards him.
A blade of wind was shot right at him as if it was aimed at his head.
"Dark Shield!"
"Wha-"
*bam*
The attack ended up hitting the barrier which Kaily erected. She was able to hear the sudden movement of the bushes and the wind because of the enhanced ears that she had gained after transforming.
Demi-humans are somewhat demons and somewhat humans. Since the demons prioritize dark magic over any other, she could use that as well. Of course, it was the same skill that she used earlier to protect herself from the sand storm.
"Show yourself!", Kaily shouted.
Terran jumped a few steps towards Kaily as if he was attempting to regroup and plan something. They could whisper and discuss if they were near each other.
The shield was down and Kaily repeated herself, "Who are you!? Show yourself!"
While she expected to take the matter to a verbal level to see if the attacker was intelligent enough to speak verbally, she did this to expose his or her position so that she too could attack instead of just defending.
Kaily looked at Terran only for an instant when he realized her plan. She wanted to expose position and while keeping the attacker busy in conversation, Terran could go around and attack as if he was ambushing the attacker.
Of course, things didn't go their way since the attacker replied with attacks instead of any verbal communication.
A few more blades of wind were fired at them rapidly which forced Kaily to use the barrier yet again to cover herself and Terran at the same time - the barrier was big enough to accommodate them and spare some space.
