Chapter 7 - Reunion!

Heading back to my inn as I intended to do before I rudely got stopped by the Pres. , I looked at my status as I went back and the skill and feature that I got were interesting indeed, the more astounding thing was that my regular stats had also increased, strength had increased to 25, agility had jumped to 30 it might have been due to all that running I do, perception increased to 25, intelligence only increased by mere 5 points now at 25 , and last but not the least magic is at staggering 25 points, looking at stats I was surprised as I hadn't leveled up just yet and my stats had grown that is an achievement if I do say so myself, soon enough I got back to the inn but I couldn't stay for long because the quest was due sunrise tomorrow and I didn't want to waste time in the inn for too long I came in said hello the Mrs. of the gentleman who ran the inn who I later realized was named Rift , I went to my room and kept in cloak knowing if I took it with me the wolves surely tear it into a million pieces and I was not going to let them ruin my stuff which cost a lot off money! as I was putting away my cloak on the coat hanger which could also be a cloak hanger, the piece of paper that I found near Val's shop fell to the floor I wanted to read it so bad but I couldn't let curiosity get the better of me so I left it to rust for the while and I headed out with short sword on the waist and hopes of getting a new skill

And yet I still didn't know where I could find them so naturally I asked around to see where they would be found, and soon enough I was out for the kill and I was not leaving those grounds until I kill those wolves. The location was just beside the meadows it was in the forest that's where wolves are usually found, as entered I was warmly welcomed by the howls of the wolves through the forest the howls echoed on, the sound of the wolfs brought excitement I couldn't stop smiling this is a different kind of joy that I was never able to feel in the past life, nothing could ever compare to this feeling, the joy of money was nothing to this I would sell my soul to the devil and for this feeling, and then kill him just so I can get my soul back, just the mere thought of the blood of the wolves brought great joy, the wolves were just the warm up for what's to come in the future, but for now all I could think of was the killing of those wolves and all of a sudden I was in a trans no thought, just a sinister smile and my sword, all of a sudden wolfs appeared through the darkness of the forest they were about five of them I presumed, yet the number of wolves didn't matter nor the emotions that I held inside me, all I could think about was that I kill them tear them into pieces, they should feel what true fear means and the fear of death is what they should be feeling, yet they approach as if we are equals, "You animals have nothing against me you should know your place, Skill- 'Parallel thinking'  Feature- 'Steel Leaves' " My left arm had turned into a leaf which normally would have freaked me out but my mind wasn't so in the right place, I could only think about killing and bloodlust, I was battle hungry, parallel thinking allowed me to dedicate one part of my brain to do my function which would work on its own without my commands, the leaf suddenly moved with extreme speeds and sliced a wolfs head off with on swift movement it was so quick that the other wolfs didn't notice one of their pack had just died until the wolfs body dropped to the ground, the blood of the wolf had spilled and it flowed towards my direction, I looked at the wolves as they slowly backed off they tried hiding behind the trees and a few off them tried to run away, "Oops I think you dropped your head you animals, draw more blood creatures killing five of you hasn't so been much fun." With one quick swipe off my left arm, the four wolf in front of me had just lost their heads all five of their heads were on the palm of my hand ,and before I could do anything else, "Skill- Decipher has been activated which skill and feature would you like from Wolf Abomination. " the system had just read my mind, just a second ago I had wished to get the claws of the wolves so I can get into close combat and give them the taste of their own medicine and the system offered me the chance to do exactly what I wanted too "Give me the feature of the Claw and give me a skill that you seem fit for killing." "Skill- Decipher has been used Skill- Stealth and Feature- Wolf claw has been bestowed onto the user." With this at my disposal this Wolves no, these insects only exist for my need for kill" .

I saw more wolves out in the distance so far I only killed five of them and it wasn't enough for me or the quest, and the wolves out far were enough for me to finish the quest so it was perfect, perfect reason to kill I thought, yet only thought that was circulating through my head was my intent to kill, I activated my skill 'Sprint' this skill has proved to be of excellent use for me it has been with thick and thin, and since 240 seconds were up I could changed my feature once again, I shouted "Skill activate Decipher from Steel leaf to Wolf claw on my right arm and left arm convert back." to my surprise it really worked I thought of how it would look on my arm and how my arm would turn back to normal, since now I have a much stronger arm and a claw big enough fit at least one wolf onto it, and so I went for it I leaped off the with great force and stabbed one on its neck with my claw from behind, attacking from behind is not a noble especially when you know that your opponent is weaker than you, you shouldn't have to use underhanded tactics to win its considered that you should have chivalry when you fight someone, but I say differently , I run by the rules that I set myself I don't believe in being noble in a fight whenever you fight a foe you take any measures possible to Win I don't fight battles to lose I do it to win it, saying that I killed two more wolves making the count to up to 8 although I can kill them easily enough but when they have surrounded me from each direction and sometimes coming from behind by using their stealth skill, then it clicked to me I grinned with malicious intent raising my wolf arm to my face almost horizontally , with a quick speech as quick as the wind I decided to see how my new skill works on me "Skill- 'Stealth'and 'Determination' " I had vanished into thin air, this skill lets me to cover my scent, breathing, footsteps, and even my presence that's the reason I couldn't understand where those wolves were coming from but when you attack the skill deactivates itself so I had one shot at this I had to kill all of them in one go because it was the last minute and a half on 'Sprint' but I didn't even need that minute because all in blink of an eye all there heads where gone, all of their heads were on the ground exactly where they should be rotting in the ground, but how did I do it well if my maths are correct to get too 10 minutes you first have to pass 8 minutes so I took that to my advantage and turned my right arm back to the steel leaf and splice their necks with one swift movement, the blood of all those insects was everywhere and were still spewing out blood, I bowed to the empty crowd as I had done something great, after I canceled decipher I also canceled determination but I wasn't able able to do anything about the sprint skill although since I had gotten used to being on the point of passing out that I had adapted to it and this time of laying to the ground I was on my feet but just barely I smirked and spoke up to the behind person me on a tree "I know you are up there, don't pretend that I haven't since you, you have been following me since I left the capital you can show your face." The person was startled and quite amused by the fact that I noticed them, "You have gotten sharper than the last time I saw you brat, I see that you might be useful after all" It was none other than Lai, she jumped off the tree and patted him on my head, I tried to wave her hand off her me telling her that I am not a child, she only responded back with that she knows me before anyone else and you can trust me not to expose your soft heart Kai, that was the first time she said my name so I knew that she was serious, I was finally able to let my guard down and told her she better not be doing any funny business while I sleep, and also to go take him and bring the 20 wolf heads with them and let him submit them so he can get his pay, she nodded in agreement and I switched off like a light switch.
