Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats

'I see…'

'Both of us are lonely…', Shin said to himself while still hearing the dragon's rude words.

He started to pity him and his fear nearly vanished.

[ Fear: 5/100 ] [ Host ]

"I would rather die than being your slave!?", the dragon shouted at the top of his voice.

After hearing that, Shin thought that he had done the dragon unjust by ignoring him all this time.

Yes, all he had to do was think about himself and find Aella, but that didn't mean that he wouldn't help someone in need.

He was a kind person, to begin with. His MP had recovered completely and his skills weren't being sealed anymore.

So he could always escape or run away if the situation got worst so there was nothing to worry about.

But yes, he kept thanking Aella for something.

'Aella, your words have saved me thrice already…'

'The first one was when you prevented me from recklessly trying to find the one who murdered Kira and Siara…'

Earlier, Shin became aware that Kira was dead, to be precise, this news spread throughout the forest.

Since he had the skill translation, he could understand what other beasts were telling.

He even came to know about the betrayal that had happened because he heard them saying that the Biola clan went and took the place which was a home for the White Wolves earlier!

When he told Aella about this, she just told him to think carefully instead of rushing and doing something reckless.

Yes, she wasn't that mature at the time, despite that she told this because she was scared of being lonely because Shin could end up dying in the process of taking revenge.

Why was he so agitated when he heard about Kira's death?

It was simply because he had accepted Kira as his own family!

That was the sole reason why he was agitated.

That was the first time Aella saved him when he tried to rush to the place.

'The second time you saved me from turning into a true monster…'

Earlier, when he spared Balton, it was purely because of what Aella had said – To forgive the ones who killed her.

Although he had killed many, he refrained from killing Balton and stopped killing any other human.

'And now…'

'Your words are telling me to befriend him…', Shin looked at the dragon with pitiful eyes while his own teary eyes flashed as a reflection in the dragon's eyes!

The dragon stopped roaring and saying trash things when he found a drop of tear leaving Shin's eyes and landing on the muddy water under him.

"It must have been painful…", Shin said in a low voice as if he understood the dragon's pain.

The dragon on the other hand had no idea about what Shin was referring to, but yes, somehow, he could relate those tears to himself.

Shin had been understanding and speaking the dragon language since earlier, of course, the skill had evolved so it wasn't a problem for him.

"I can feel the pain that you felt while being lonely…"

A sad atmosphere lingered around both of them.

The dragon who was angry until a second ago forgot the reason why he was angry. Well, was there even a reason in the first place?

"You-"

"What are you scheming?", he asked.

Shin kept mum when he heard that.

Well, he wasn't exactly scheming. But yes, he was trying to befriend him for sure and that was his plan for now.

"I ain't scheming…"

"I'm just trying to…"

"Trying to?", the dragon paused him and spoke in between.

Not that Shin could tell exactly what he wanted.

"Sigh…"

"You aren't ready to hear me out…", Shin was absolutely right.

He seemed somewhat impatient now that his anger had decreased.

'Hmm…'

'Why don't I-'

Shin then walked a bit closer and said with a calm voice, "I was thinking about freeing you from this curse due to which you are trapped…"

When the dragon heard that, all of a sudden the anger that seemed to vanish, rose up again and erupted like a volcano.

"You!"

That was because of a memory that he recalled all of a sudden after hearing him say that.

( 100 Years ago )

It was raining heavily and the dragon was getting drenched because of the rain.

He then almost immediately bent his body and pulled himself inside the muddy water that had already been collected.

'I'm hungry…'

'It's been 500 years since I've had anything…', the dragon said to himself.

'If I erase my presence, then some or other beast will surely approach me…'

There was a huge violet-colored circle flashing on the ground when the lightning struck the ground just a bit far away from him.

The entire place was a grassland but because of the lighting, the area caught fire and the grass vanished. Now it was just a plain and it didn't take long before it turned in a swampy area – a Swampy Plain!

The swampy plain was soon enough made into a territory by the other creatures. Many lizards and different beasts migrated to the place.

Of course, as the muddy water kept getting hard, his body started to solidify.

Slowly after a long time, the water had reached the height of his abdomen. Yes, it had hardened too due to which all he could do now was lower his head so that none could see and then raise it.

Well, it was around this time that he met a human – a powerful mage at that.

"Wow!"

"A dragon!"

"A real dragon!"

A mage who was using the fly magic, suddenly found the earth dragon in the plains who was trying to eat a few large lizards!

The dragon first feared him but was happy to find someone who could speak.

The dragon knew the human language of 500 years ago and there had been tons of changes, but when the man started to talk, the dragon could understand.

He too started to converse with him and both became friends.

But the friendship didn't last long.

"I will free you from this curse…", the human male said.

The dragon was delighted because after hearing the human's story, he was certain that he was one of the strongest mages on the continent.

"But for that, I require some things…", he said.

"Some things?", the dragon asked.

"Yes, I want…"

"YOUR BLOOD!"

'Stab'

"…"
