Chapter 62 - The First Vessel

When Shin heard and read that, it was as if the ground under him broke.

He could hardly believe what he was reading.

'That many survived?'

'Were there that many wolves in the clan?'

He never once saw so many wolves. It kind of weird seeing the system tell that. But the system couldn't possibly lie.

Shin tried to recall everything and found out that he never once counted the number of wolves that were present in the Clan.

Also, it was indeed true that he hadn't seen all the places of the Biola Clan. It was only the front area in which all were resting.

'Come to think of it, the Biola clan's front area itself was twice as big as White wolves' Clan!', Shin realized that.

"So they indeed betrayed us and killed all?", Shin asked himself.

But that seemed impossible. He had seen the great friendship between Aaron and Kira. It was absolutely impossible for Aaron to betray them!

Also, even if they did, Kira wouldn't just stand seeing everyone getting killed!

Kira was the strongest wolf in the forest so without a doubt he would have fought relentlessly to save everyone!

"The story doesn't feel right..."

"The Biola Clan betraying the White wolf clan..."

"Hmm..."

Shin thought with all his might but wasn't able to figure out anything else. But he knew one thing for sure, if he were to meet up with all the survivors then everything would be revealed.

'For now, I should get away from this place...', Shin thought it was best to leave the place.

Also, he had to look after the pup by himself.

"Alright, shall we go?", Shin looked towards the pup and asked this.

the pup nodded its head as if it understood that. Well anyway, Shin had something else to worry about.

He couldn't possibly call the pup 'Pup'! He had to give it a name.

"Hmm, but will it be alright?", he stopped right after walking for a second.

Shin now knew that names were quite important and special for the beasts because of which he was a bit reluctant to name the pup.

However, that didn't mean that he wouldn't name the pup. If the pup would ever meet a stronger beast or someone of higher order, then it could always get another name if it didn't like it!

"Ahem, listen to me..."

The pup had stopped and was staring at Shin. NOw it started to listen to what he wanted to say.

"I'll be giving you a name..."

"Is that fine?", Shin asked.

The pup suddenly got excited right after hearing that. It started to jump around and lick Shin all of a sudden.

"Haha, are beasts always that excited to get a name?", Shin laughed.

"I will consider it as a Yes..."

"So your name will be..."

Shin thought about it for a moment. He wanted to give an awesome name to the pup.

Of course,e he was aware that the pup was a female so he thought of a name that sounded feminine and had great meaning in it.

'She has a skill which has the attribute of the wind...'

'So a name that would have the same meaning as a wind might end up giving a boost to her powers...'

Shin didn't know much about the benefits of the names. Therefore he decided to give a name symbolizing wind.

"Aella..."

"That will be your name starting this moment..."

Just as he said that a system notification popped up.

'Ding'

[ Would you like to name the White wolf as Aella? ]

Shin had absolutely no idea why the system would pop up and ask such a question.

It was up to him and his free will if he had to name someone or not. Regardless, he had to answer the question of the system, or else the text would stick in front of his face for hours!

"Yes."

Of course, he went with Yes, and thanks to that the female wolf pup now had a name!

Well, just before that another system notification popped up.

[ Command Accepted ]

[ Forming Link between the host and the First Vessel ]

"Huh?"

"The first Vessel?", Shin was confused when he saw that. He was then about to question the system when suddenly the system displayed what it meant on its own!

[ Vessel -> A living being with the power to store the host's power. During need, the vessel would be able to use a tiny amount of the host's power. The host would be able to use all the skills of the vessel ]

*gulp*

What he read was insane. Basically, the system was providing him with such a facility that, he could just laze around all the time while his vessels would work hard. In the end, whatever skills they would learn, would also be learned by him!

If this wasn't a cheat then what else was it?

Oh well, it was the best thing for him anyway.

The young wolf began to shine. An immense amount of white light engulfed its body almost immediately.

The light was quite bright. The dark sky enhanced the brightness of the light and made it look somewhat like a moon.

Needless to say, the light was visible from many parts of the forest because it took place at a cliff which was at a higher elevation.

Regardless, Shin had finally named the pup which not only benefitted the pup but also benefitted Shin.

"Aella originally means Storm Wind..."

"It will definitely enhance your powers...", Shin smiled while saying this.

'Ding'

[ Link established ]

[ Named a White wolf as Aella ]

The pup's body stopped glowing. Shin turned his head to take a look at the pup only to get surprised on seeing the pup.

"What the-"

He had seen many surprising facts until now. Most of them were something which he never expected to happen, but right now the surprise which he received was more like exceeding his expectations.

He had expected something to happen, but something out of the ordinary ended up happening!

"Aella..."

"You..."
