Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats

Chapter 208 Sacred Beasts

A  pair of eyes stared at them from the flames. The eyes were glowing with yellow light. It was as if a God was watching them.

"Wha-"

"Just what is going on!?", the huge dwarf asked while sweating profusely.

The tattoos on his body had started to give a faint red light already right after the explosion occurred.

The dwarves looked at the tattoos and seemed much more scared.

'A-'

'A fire-type sacred beast?', the huge dwarf asked himself.

'What is such a being doing here?'

So, what are sacred beasts?

Sacred beasts are those beasts whose powers have reached a tremendous level. They can rival the Celestials easily. However, despite having such powers, they refuse to become Celestials since being a Celestial means losing one's freedom.

What does that mean?

Just by reaching the power level of a Celestial, one cannot become celestial. One just becomes eligible at that point.

To become a celestial, one has to pass the trials of the Supreme Celestials, and only after doing so, will they be able to represent the Supreme Celestials and be termed as Celestials or the Mortal Gods.

But what happens then is that the Celestials have to obey everything that the Supreme Celestials say. Also, their every action will be limited and be controlled by the Supreme Celestials since the Celestials would be representing the Gods! (Supreme Celestials)

Thus, God wouldn't want their reputation to be tarnished and therefore would restrict the actions of the Celestials.

That is the reason why many of the beasts who reach the power level of the Celestial, refuse to become the slaves of Gods. Instead, they desire to increase their powers and reach the level of God someday.

Of course, that was what Shin, the previous Wolf God did.

Currently, there are 13 Sacred beasts around the world. They belong and control different elements and are h0lders of different and unique powers.

Sacred beasts:

1>    Sacred beast of Time: Roaring Lizard

2>    Sacred beast of Space: Black-Leon

3>    Sacred beast of Thunder: Purple-Thunder Dragon

4>    Sacred beast of Fire: Volcanic Phoenix

5>    Sacred beast of Earth: Immortal-Shelled Tortoise

6>    Sacred beast of Water: Leviathan

7>    Sacred beast of Wind: White Tiger

8>    Sacred beast of Forests: Green Bear King

9>    Sacred beast of Apocalypse: Poison Fanged Naga

10> Sacred beast of Runes: All-knowing Panda

11> Sacred beast of Life: Tree of Life

12> Sacred beast of Death: ??

13> Sacred beast of ??: ??

Apart from these 13 beasts, there are others among different races that have attained the same power level but refuse to become Celestials. This doesn't mean that it is easy to become a Celestial. There are hardly more than ten that have attained that level of power.

Of course, their identity remains unknown. There have been instances of them appearing now and then, but there is no one to confirm their existence – they can't provide definite proof.

The tattoos on the dwarves' bodies are engraved with special ink. It was invented by them after finding different crystals and using them as materials to create something similar to alloy.

With that, they can detect if there is danger nearby. The tattoos shine with different lights when they are exposed to any danger.

The power of the beasts is represented in colors as well. For example, red color means a fire type whereas green refers to a tree – specifically the tree of life.

So when the tattoos on the dwarves' bodies started to shine with bright red light, they immediately guessed it to be a sacred beast and that too of a fire type.

Of course, the only possibility of such a beast was the great phoenix. However, little did they know that there existed another beast, that had a similar power level.

'Ding'

[ You have transformed into Flame Wolf Emperor ]

[ You have used the skill Flame Vortex and Flame Wave ]

When the dwarves turned their heads the other way. They found a wolf walking towards them while being engulfed in flames.

He had used two skills at the same time. A small fire tornado was revolving around Shin.

With his power, he could end up burning the entire forest so he refrained from letting the fire tornado go. He used the skill only to intimidate the dwarves and yes, he succeeded in doing that.

"O-oh great being, we greet you." – the dwarves bowed and said this almost immediately.

This was a strategy used by many to refrain from angering a sacred beast. Also, that was all that they could do.

If they were to question, the beast would just kill them – this was common sense.

The elves and others bowed in front of Shin as well. It was normal for them, but at the same time, abnormal.

It was their first time seeing Shin's flame emperor form so they were quite astonished and surprised.

"We do not know how we offended you but please forgive us." – the giant dwarf said.

'What is such a being doing here?'

'I mean, was there any being as strong as the fire sacred beast Phoenix!?'

The dwarves were shaken by the fact that there existed another fire sacred beast.

p Of course, it was not known to anyone in the world. But yes, there were many others that were unknown but Shin was the only one who was as strong as the current Phoenix – in his flame emperor form, that is.

"Forgive you?"

"Hahaha."

"Do you really think that you deserve it?", Shin asked with a deep voice.

His size was bigger than usual after all he was in a transformed state so his voice seemed matching to his size.

*gulp*

'Offending a sacred beast is something that we cannot afford to do.'

'But it looks like we have already upset it…'

'What do we do?', the dwarves were thinking hard.

'Oh yes…'

'Can't we negotiate with the sacred beast?'

*gulp*

'Of course we can...'

'They have high intelligence so obviously, they would be interested if we offer them our high-quality artifacts!'
