Chapter 333 The Third Evolution (3)

From Arachno Wolf:

1] Spider Domain -> A type of domain with a range of 100 meters that turns everything in the vicinity into strings/threads. One of the most sensitive domains in the world that lets the user sense even the slightest movements.

2] Thousand Eyes -> the skill provides a total of 1000 eyes. Capable of replacing the normal eyes if damaged. Can appear anywhere and any place that has been marked by the user.

From Calamity Wolf:

1] Destruction Domain -> a type of domain with a range of 100 meters that can destroy everything within it.

2] Calamity -> decrease luck value and life force of the target. The chances of a critical hit are increased to 100% for one attack. Extra 100 points of HP will be reduced upon a successful critical hit with the critical hit damage.

After seeing the skills, he still couldn't decide which to discard. As mentioned, it would be too waste to leave any of them behind, therefore, he calmed himself and decided to look at the special traits once again and find the exact meaning.

From Dragon Wolf:

Immortal Wolf -> the host will not die as long as the heart is left undamaged

Meaning: all other parts destroyed will get regenerated on their own as long as the heart is left undamaged.

From Death Wolf:

Last Wolf -> all stats of the host will be temporarily raised by +500% when the host is on his death bed and until 10% of HP is recovered.

Meaning: when the host's HP falls below 10% of the total HP, it will be considered approaching death. During this condition, all the host's stats will be increased by 500%. This will only be valid until and unless a total of 10% HP has been regained.

From Arachno Wolf:

Puppet Master -> Can control any and all opponents/foes with at least 10 levels lower than the host when little strings from the host's attack are attached to them + Can absorb HP/MP from the target who has a string attached to their body

Meaning: if and only if the target is at least 10 levels lower than the host, the strings released by the host when touching the target, will turn invisible and the host may then control the actions of the target. The target in this case will become a puppet to the host. As for absorbing HP or MP from the target to whom the string is attached, the level isn't specified. The target may be stronger than the host or weaker. As long as a tiny bit of string is successfully placed on the target, the host can voluntarily absorb any amount of HP and MP.

From Calamity Wolf:

Fear -> All stats of the target/foe that shows fear will be reduced to half (only if the foe is of a lower level than the host.) + Host's stats will be increased by +10% if he feels scared (only if the foe is of a higher level than the host.)

Meaning: As long as there is fear in either the opponent or the host, the host will have an advantage and/or a boost to aid in the time of crisis.

"…"

'Hmm, I think I should stick to this one…', he said to himself.

After going through all the options, Shin finally chose the one that would suit him the most - Dragon Wolf.

The Death, Arachno, and Calamity options were good, but they felt like newer options.

Since Shin was familiar with the half-dragon form, he thought about going with the Dragon option.

But he had a question that kept bothering him for quite some time.

'I had a mixture of options earlier...'

'In fact, I even have them right now.'

'I can freely transform from half Dragon to a dark wolf and to a spider wolf...'

'There is no restriction.'

'I even have the Flame Wolf option with me...'

'What will happen to them once I evolve into these newer options?', Shin wondered.

'Will the previous options just vanish? But wouldn't that indirectly mean that I would grow weaker instead of stronger?', this confused Shin even more.

He asked the same questions to the system to hear a proper explanation for all these.

*Ding*

[The host will not lose the previous options.]

[However, the host will evolve as a race from a White wolf to a White Dragon/Death/Arachno/Calamity wolf.]

[If either of the options is chosen, the following previous evolutionary line will get merged provided, other transformation options left unchanged.]

'I see...'

'So, if I choose the Dragon wolf form to evolve into, the Half-Dragon option will vanish or rather get merged and turn me into a permanent Dragon wolf.'

'Rather than having a normal white fur, I would have scales covering my body, just like a Dragon. And my transformation skill will still have the options of transforming into other wolf forms, did I get it right?', Shin tried to summarize and ask the system again to be sure.

*Ding*

[Affirmative.]

'That's good then!'

'Basically, by evolving, I would be abandoning this pathetic weak looking white wolf form.'

"..."

For some reason, this didn't feel right with Shin.

He wanted to maintain this white wolf form no matter what. That's because he was born with the body and had been living with such till now.

If he were to change the way he appeared, then there might end up becoming significant changes in his behavior as well.

Therefore, he tried to negotiate with the system and asked it for something rather stupid.

'System, instead of directly evolving me, can you just evolve the transformation options?'

'That way I can transform into the said form whenever I want.', Shin asked the wolf and suggested this idea.

*Ding*

[Such evolving steps are possible however, there is a potential loss of gaining strength.]

'Huh? How?'

[If the host had directly evolved, the total mana and mana capacity of the host along with the stats would have increased by several folds. But with evolving the options, the host will be stuck with the same stats. Also, the permanent increase in stats provided in the description will change into temporary and will only be true when the host evolves into a particular option.]
