Chapter 382 The Story Of The Desert Wolves (1)

The giant wolf this time let the spheres and the slashes land on it, basically only the ripples while the actual spheres passed it. It didn't even try to dodge. It just continued to dash toward Shin without any care in the world. Many more ripples started to form once again but it looked like the transparent wolf didn't care about it.

The wolf tried to kill Shin with multiple of its' attack which was all semi-transparent but Shin dodged them with ease.

Becoming bigger can lead to creation of disadvantages. Due to its large size, it was quite hard to aim at Shin and with a decrease in speed, Shin at the moment, had an upper hand.

Regardless, Shin kept on bombarding him with multiple dark-type attacks. The wolf just wanted one chance to finish the annoying death wolf in front of him but that one chance never came. After several minutes the wolf gave up.

"I give up! I give up.", The giant wolf said as it went to its normal size. All the other wolves that merged with that one wolf also appeared once again.

"…", Shin was speechless.

He thought that he could fight a bit more with the large wolf since it was quite interesting seeing such a wolf, however, the ghost wolf lost its chivalry and just gave up just when it was getting into the good part. Probably, it didn't have any new moves left – Shin thought, which was obviously not true.

"I am sorry! I didn't know that you were a dark-type wolf.", the wolf said.

"Huh?", Shin stared in confusion to see the ghost wolf converse pretty normally.

"Sigh, you looked so weak and frail, I thought you would be crushed in minutes, looks like I was wrong…"

"Uh…", Shin wanted to say something, but before he could, the ghost wolf again opened his mouth.

"Ha… you had changed your fur to white and even reduced your size. Nice disguise." The ghost wolf said, trying to convince Shin that he is not a foe.

Apparently, Shin didn't want to believe a single thing the ghost wolf was saying. He thought that it was probably trying to stall for time, however, as he tried to be cautious, a notification suddenly popped up.

[Name: Pekka]

[Race: Ghost Wolf]

[Status: Dead]

"…"

A simple notification popped up rather than the normal complicated ones. This was expected as the wolf was supposedly dead.

Shin didn't think much about the word dead and continued to converse, but first asking about his name…

"Tell me, you are Rekka aren't you?" Shin asked as he squinted his eyes trying to figure out whether this wolf in front of him would lie to him or not.

'Eek? Rekka? How does he know his name?', Pekka thought.

"Ahem."

"No, I am not." The wolf said after sighing.

Shin had mistakenly confused the word Pekka with Rekka. They were in the desert named Rekka, so, the happening of such a mistake was not that uncommon.

"Huh? You aren't Rekka? Then who are you?", Shin wanted to know, thinking that he was lying.

"I am Pekka.", the ghost wolf said, to which, Shin immediately re-checked the system.

"Pekka?"

"Yes… I am Pekka, and this is my brother, Rekka.", Pekka said as he lifted his paw, pointing at yet another wolf that appeared from thin air.

"Pekka… and Rekka!?", both the names were too close.

Also, this time, Shin was not mistaking it.

There indeed was a wolf called Rekka, and the name of the desert was also the same… 'Could it be a coincidence?', Shin thought.

Well, it is not uncommon to have a name similar to that of a place name, however, this was… the first time Shin encountered something so strange in this world.

Regardless, both the wolves looked quite similar – almost as if both of them were twins.

He wanted to ask about them, but he thought that something else was more important.

"How did you end up in this form?" Shin asked to which Pekka hesitated to answer.

A moment of silence was maintained. It was soon broken when Pekka finally gave up and decided to tell.

"Well, I guess I have no choice, do I? Might as well say it. But it's a very… Very long story." Pekka said and then started to narrate how he and the rest of the wolves ended up in this form.

[Flash back]

In the great desert of the West Terrain, a group of wolves were walking, after hunting. This was something that they would always do – hunt and then get the prey back to their home to share with everyone.

This group of wolves would always dominate other groups living in the desert – not that there were many to begin with. They were practically the rulers of the desert.

Even the humans living near the western terrain feared them, especially the leader of the group, Rekka, who is also known as the KING… of Lies.

Yes, he never told a single truth in his life…

.

.

.

An unknown group of humans entered the desert. They were adventures who hunt monsters and protect human lives. That's not the only job they do. They even venture into dangerous areas and eliminate the monsters that could be a possible threat to humans – at least, this is the definition of an adventurer.

However, if the word human was to be added before 'adventurer', then it wouldn't be too wrong to call it a synonym for greed, malice, lust, etc.

Regardless, the leader of the group of adventurers smirked as he entered the Great Desert that was part of the West Terrain.

"Haha, so this is where we have to perform the mission…"

"Yes, leader…"

"But is it necessary to come here? I don't think there is any treasure…", said a member of the group.

"Ha…"

"We have been paid to search the place…"

"Let's at least do that much…"

They all nodded as if agreeing with him.

"Alright then, let's not waste any time.", the leader said as he and his teammates entered the desert and started to explore it, in anticipation of finding something… perhaps, wanting to complete a mission that was given to them by someone.
