Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats

Chapter 206 Sudden Visit - Part 1

[ Requirement to completely acquire - dragon soul form:

-> Eat 10 S-Rank Dragon (0/10)

or

-> Eat 100 A-Rank Dragon (0/100) ]

'This is too much.'

'Dragons...'

'Just by hearing that name, my heart throbs. The system wants me to eat 10 of the top-tier dragons?'

'Well, killing A-Grade dragons would be better than facing the almighty S-Grade.'

'But that would mean I would be required to hunt more.'

'Sigh, this is a tough decision to make...'

[ Requirement to completely acquire - elf soul form:

-> Get a blessing from Supreme Elf Celestial

or

-> Eat 500 elves below the age of 50 (0/500) ]

"Ridiculous!"

Elves live a long life - this was common knowledge. So based on that, an elf that is less than 50 years old could be considered an infant when compared to a human.

'This system...'

'It really wants me to become a murderer...'

All of a sudden Shin imagined himself eating the elves. There was a sea of blood on the top of which a lot of bodies had been piled.

He was standing at the peak of the pile and had a hand of an elf in his mouth. His white fur had been painted with red. His eyes were shining with a red light instead of the usual green.

'This...'

'The more I imagine it, the sicker I feel...'

He then looked at other texts shown by the system.

[ Requirement to completely acquire - demon soul form:

-> Drink the Supreme Demon Celestial's blood

or

-> Eat 1000 Demonized beasts (29/1000) ]

[ Requirement to completely acquire - human soul form:

-> Eat 5000 humans (87/5000) ]

While everything else had two options, for the human soul form, there seemed only one option. Also, he had progressed quite a bit in that matter. The same was with the demon soul requirement.

It had also progressed a bit. Shin had done that unknowingly. He had hunted many beasts among which some had demon energy. Without realizing it, he ate them as if his only goal was to satisfy his hunger.

As for the humans, he had already eaten tons of adventurers in the outskirts of the Kingdom of Loria. The same included other humans who came after him out of Loria.

"Hmm, now that I see carefully, it mentions 'eat' and not 'kill'. But what does exactly counts as 'eat'? Should I completely eat a beast or something similar?"

*Ding*

[ Even a single bite would suffice however 'Eat' in the scenario should include the death of the eaten being ]

Shin had probably found a loophole in the requirements. He could just take a bite from the Arb elves while they were still alive. Of course, the system mentioned that there never existed a loophole and it was all his imagination.

'I see, so I must kill first and then eat...'

"But why is killing necessary?"

*Ding*

[ Not killing, but death. ]

[ The host needs to eat a dead being. ]

'Oh, then does that mean the beasts that aren't killed by me will also add up to the requirements if I eat?'

[ Affirmative ]

'Hmm, not bad.'

'Then I can take their help as well.'

He thought about his Clan hunting and bringing tons of beasts to him especially those that have demon energy.

That way, becoming a demon would be much sooner and easier, however, there was a catch, demonized beasts were at least ten times stronger than normal beasts of the same level and power.

Yes, at least ten times and the power could be even several hundred times higher as well. This was no joke since this could cause many casualties. Therefore, Shin had to ensure that he didn't get careless.

Though turning into a human was much easier than he thought, He just had to kill roughly 5000 humans and eat them. Of course, others could kill and provide him, but for now, he thought from his own perspective.

"Hey system, will the requirement be met if I go to the graveyard and eat the deceased?"

Shin knew that the power of his clan was currently low. He had to preserve numbers and prevent anyone from dying. Going out to hunt humans would be a dangerous task so he tried to think of an alternative.

*Ding*

[ As long as the body contains soul essence, the host may eat ]

"Soul essence?"

[ Soul essence -> The spiritual energy emitted from the body due to the presence of a soul. A soul usually leaves the body after two hours of death. The soul essence however would remain for another hour. ]

'Oh, so the main purpose of eating a body is to eat the soul essence...'

Shin finally understood the motive behind eating an individual to gain soul forms.

'Hmm, then I can't eat those who have been dead for long.'

'In fact, three hours delay seems less so no matter how many humans are killed, if they cannot reach me within three hours, then it's all for naught.'

He finally understood the transformations. Now he had to find a good time to go and carry out the work so that he could turn into at least one of those forms.

"Master Shin!"

And as he was wandering on his own, he heard someone call out to him.

He turned back only to find an Arb elf running towards him.

"You...?"

He had no idea who the elf was since he had no name. Also, he had never seen him earlier, of course, even if he had seen, it would be quite hard to remember since there were a lot of Arb Elves.

Also, since their faces sometimes vary greatly with respect to the depth of the forest in which they are present, it would be way too confusing.

"Master Shin, I have an important message to convey you...", he said as he approached Shin.

"Yes...?"

'What could be so important that they couldn't wait for my arrival?'

Well, Shin had become their leader and for that, many Arb elves were assigned to protect him in secret. Of course, Shin knew about this since he had already spotted them.

He could feel their auras and the system had also mentioned that he was being observed by the members of his clan.

In any case, right now, he wanted to know the message that the young elf wanted to say.

"The dwarves have arrived.", he said.

"..."

"Huh?"

This came as a surprise to him. He was clearly told that it would take them quite some time before they were going to arrive. But to his surprise, they arrived soon after he left the place to stroll around.

"Why did they arrive today?", he asked as he was startled with a raised voice.

"That..."

"I'm not sure, master.", he replied with a soft tone.

'Hmm, is something wrong?'

'Could it be that they have come to cause trouble?'

Many thoughts arose in his mind however suppressed them. Right after that, he started running back since he wanted to ask them about the city plans and many more things.

*Ding*

[ You have used the skill Dash ]

[ Your... ]

The elves that were guarding him in secret were left behind when he used his skill. Probably his excitement couldn't be suppressed because of which he ran as fast as he could.

( Under the Great Elder Tree, The Arb Elves' Chief's home... )

"Um, may I know the reason for your sudden visit?", the chief asked.

There were four dwarves that had come. Their heights were roughly double that of the Arb Elves - a normal young adult human's height.

They had red skin and some white-colored tattoos engraved that spread over the entire body. The clothes that they wore seemed to have been made with the skin of some beast.

The necklace and jewels that they wore were also different. At first, it seemed like some blue-colored beads attached to a string, but on closer observation, anyone could say that it was a necklace made up of Blue Dew Crystals.

Blue Dew Crystal - One of the rare crystals in the world. It is used to make various artifacts. A single crystal can give enormous raise in one's magic power. Because of how rare they are, they are extremely valuable. One could even lose his/her life because of these.

The necklace that the dwarves were wearing had more than five crystals on it. So their magic power was probably raised to the maximum!

"Huh!? You dare speak to me?"

"You lowly elf!? How dare you!?", said the biggest guy among the four dwarves who was heavily built.

"..."
