Adam made his way back to the old Church; he needed to be ready to face whatever he would meet in the lost church of shadow. There was a Horned panther in the area as he knew, but Adam couldn’t forget Nina went toward the ruins too. Hopefully, whatever related to the curse would not be hiding in the ruins. After all, it once belonged to a true god.However, there was something that made Adam confused. Wolf God was a true God, and Adam could draw a small portion of his power to cast the purification spell. He felt how powerful a true god was. Therefore, how did a church of shadows, where Wolf God was the absolute authority, became a ruin?What happened that made a true god lose his footing in the Crimson Empire? And what was the connection between the Crimson Empire and the Wolf God? But all that could wait for now. Now was the time to be ready for the next mission.He only has two combat-related abilities, but even with both combined, he was no match for a horned panther. The only opti
Two wolves ran all morning through the forest before the Grey wolf king stopped for some water near a stream. Adam realised when he was in his wolf form, he had endless energy for running. Feeling all the muscles in his body working together to provide energy to slip through the forest was a great and relaxing experience for him. And It was a feeling he hadn’t experienced in a long time.However, even for once, he didn’t forget where he was running to and why. Adam didn’t know how long his guide would help him either. Still, for the time being, he enjoyed the feeling of freedom and happiness away from the prying eyes and questionable gazes that followed him in the West Coast city.After a bit of water and rest, Grey wolf king started running again. This time, it didn’t stop for any food. And Adam had nothing to complain about. He had his breakfast at the village and he drank a mouth full of water from the stream. As for the slight Hunger, he was feeling, well, that was nothing new to
‘How can this be?’ Adam felt more worried than ever.The fight showed that whatever fought with the Horned panther was alone. Whatever it was, it’s stronger than the horned panther. And most importantly, he did not know what came to the ruins to kill the horned panther.Adam fell into thought. ‘Now, I am here and my mission is complete, it’s better, I get out of here,’ although he wanted to study the Church, with unknown threats lurking around, it was better to run. He valued his life more. However, he realised luck was not that good against the devious system.- Secondary Mission – Find and enter the inner sanctum of the lost Church of Shadow- Mission objective – There was an inner sanctum in every Church of shadow. The host is advised to find it within three days.- Mission reward – General points and additional reward based on the performance- Mission failure – Reduction of one attribute by half‘But there is nothing valuable here,’ he highly doubted that people of the Westwood
- Authentication success (Upgrade)- Medicine and Herbs (Basic) -> Medicine and Herbs (intermediate)- Related attribute check – Spirit - initiating upgrade – Within body limit (Authentication success)- Spirit (D- -> D) - Spirit (D -> D+)‘Fuck,’ he clutched his head as the head-splitting pain hit him. The only thing he could do was to lean against the broken wall. Although Spirit upgrade gave him a massive mental capacity, it was still within D level. However, the amount of knowledge added to his brain was too much for him to handle.The dire wolf that was lying in the pool of blood looked weirdly at the unknown animal that was acting strangely. If she could, she would have already attacked it.Adam was absorbing too much information to pay attention to anything. He limped his weak body to the ground, using the wall as support.‘Hope it will not kill me after I heal it,’ Adam had his own wishful thought. Still, he was not taking this gamble for nothing. At his wolf form, he was th
Bit by bit, the medicinal paste took the form he was hoping for. And weirdly enough, Adam found himself so good at controlling the medicinal herbs to proper proportions and achieve his desired level of medicine. Initially, he found himself to be a bit rusty with only his dagger and rocks. However, over time, his actions became so natural, making it a very smooth process.After grinding the herb paste, he approached the mother wolf while ignoring the little one’s protest. However, this time, the mother dire wolf kept her silent. Maybe because she finally had some water given to her by Adam or she realised that there was no use in resisting against him.Before applying the medicine, Adam had to check the wounds and made sure there was no serious bone fracture underneath them.It was painful for the wolf, but he couldn’t give any sedative while the body was too weak. It may never wake up again after sleeping. Therefore, naturally, he had to ignore the painful whimper from the mother wolf
The next morning, Adam felt the hem of his robe being dragged. He smiled and let the cub have some fun while keeping his eyes close for the time being. Today, he had to find the inner sanctum, or by tomorrow night, he might lose half of one of his attributes.Mother dire Wolf looked much better this morning. Although she was still lying on her side, she had finished the water given by Adam and took a bite out of the meat.Adam didn’t hesitate to give her more water and replace her meat supply with a bit of fresh stock. And finally, he was running out of his own food stock as well. Either he had to cook the Python or hunt something else. The next problem was the food for the Dire wolf. She would be in better shape within the next two days, and Adam assumed she would regain the usual appetite by then. And after that, panther meat could only sustain her for a few more days.Adam’s new ability to diagnose and treat illnesses was not inferior to many potion makers, except his medicine didn
Adam carefully observed the solid rock wall. He needed to find a way to get in to complete the mission. However, there were no mechanisms or any other visible thing even to clarify that there was something behind this wall.He examined the engraved wolf head out of helplessness; it was similar to the one that he wore on his neck. Adam took out his mother’s necklace and compared them carefully. The Wolf head in the wall was more complex and had an advanced pattern in it, but it was mostly because of the size difference.‘How am I supposed to open this?’ Adam couldn’t find anything that will give him a hint. ‘Maybe,’ a sudden idea popped into his head. He took the shadow blade and made a small cut in his hand and placed it on the wall. This idea came from how he bonded with the Shadow blade. Which was now in perfect resonance with him.‘I am right,’ a sense of achievement appeared in his heart as he saw the pattern in the wolf head start to glow. And then, the sense of worry hit him
In the West Coast city, there was a silent search still going on about the Wolf God’s believer, Adam. Although the news was not in the public yet and had not reached the palace, they already whispered it in the streets and dark corners. Still, no information has come out.Only Han’s couple were the worried ones about the misfortune of Adam. They also kept their silence, hoping he would not fall into this silent storm.…..In a giant mansion located in the Magicians district, a dignified looking middle-aged man sat in a chair. The place looked like some meeting room, and a few other people were sitting around the table, but it was dark inside. The light was only ample enough to barely see each other’s figures.“Did anyone find anything?” The dignified man had a deep and commanding voice that made others comply with his words.He didn’t look much intelligent, but he had got things done for the family. Especially since he was not alone.“He is somewhere in Westwood, my lord. A few days a
