Shin recalled that there was this skill called Wind Guardian whose information was not available the last ti he had checked.
He could neither check any of its details nor its level. Other than the na, nothing!
The skill sounded superbly amazing.
He thought about it for a second and tried to take a peek at the skill one more ti. Unfortunately, the information on the skill was still hidden.
All it showed was question marks as if his level was still insufficient to look at the skill.
Also, he couldn't copy that skill. He had tried to do it earlier but had ended up failing which made him realize that there were so skills in the world that couldn't be copied by him.
He thought that the skill was sohow related to the Gale Wolf form. Perhaps, Aella knew sothing that made her want to opt Gale Wolf option. It could have been just an instinct too!
Shin asked the system, 'Can you predict the benefit if she were to evolve into a Gale Wolf?'
Shin wanted to know what extra benefits or advantages will Aella get if she were to evolve into a Gale wolf in the future.
*Ding*
[Along with the stated benefits of the evolution, the individual Aella will have a chance to evolve into a Wind Monarch commanding the elent of wind in the future.]
This was more than enough to convince Shin to go forward with Aella's wish.
'She isn't so dummy…'
'She has a will of her own. The sa applies to everyone else.'
'I think I should show more consideration towards them.', Shin decided as he moved a little closer to Aella.
"On second thought, I think evolving into a Gale Wolf would be a better choice."
The mont Aella heard this, the expression on her face changed completely. However, the change lasted only for a re second as she tried to control herself. She didn't want to show Shin what she actually thought.
However, Shin could clearly see that she was excited as she continuously wagged her tail.
He then said, "Alright, without further wait, let's start your evolution."
Aella nodded her head as she waited for the evolution to begin.
As ntioned earlier, an individual beast can evolve on their own with their free will. But for beasts that have masters or are within a clan, they need to obey the leader.
If the leader prevents their evolution, they simply cannot evolve further. Also, they can evolve only after the leader permits their evolution.
This was a similar case.
Even after reaching a max level, she failed to know that it was ti for her evolution. Since Shin notified her, she still didn't know what forms she could evolve into.
And now, finally, after confirmation, she was ready to evolve.
"I, Shin, leader of the Lou Shin clan, allow the first vessel Aella to evolve into the higher form - Gale Wolf.", Shin said loudly.
It was as if he was speaking with nature itself as the mont he said this, small green orbs of lights started to linger all around them.
Aella was in awe of the green orbs. She looked at them intensely, fascinated. But before she could enjoy the view a bit more, her body started to glow with bright white to green light.
"This…"
That's all she could say before getting engulfed in the light.
Shin sat down on the ground under the tree nearby and waited for the evolution to finish.
He stared at the screen that displayed the ti of completion of the evolution.
[Ti left for evolution to complete: 00:59:57 (59 minutes and 57 seconds)]
'Sigh, I need to sit here idly for a whole hour…', Shin sighed.
He was actually alert the entire hour. Since Aella was immobile during her evolution, she could be attacked from any side.
Of course, there weren't many beasts in the surroundings as they had moved to different parts due to the festival, so there could be a potential danger from even smaller beasts such as snakes!
The interference of even a little bug could end up affecting the rate of success so Shin was on his guard for an entire hour.
The rain had already stopped and Shin, who had been sitting under the tree, was counting the leaves of the tree while being alert as he had nothing better to do.
Just keeping an eye on Aella was boring, hence the counting of leaves.
Regardless, an hour passed by soon.
Shin approached Aella whose body was still engulfed with the white light.
He checked the screen.
[Ti left for evolution to complete: 00:00:00 (0 hours, 0 minutes and 0 seconds)]
The ti had already run out yet Aella was still inside the sphere of white light.
It was taking her so ti. Shin waited.
1 minute…
2 minutes…
10 minutes passed by, yet there was no sign of her exiting the sphere.
The light didn't seem to get any dimr either.
Shin was sowhat worried.
First of all, despite the tir hitting zero, Shin was sure that the evolution wasn't complete. That was because neither Aella had co out, nor was the task of her evolution completed. It still showed the word 'incomplete'.
Therefore, Shin knew that sothing was wrong.
Although failing an evolution isn't fatal, it definitely destroys one's morals and confidence. It is as if nature is telling you that - You don't deserve to get stronger!
Shin was worried. He started walking here and there, circling Aella.
He couldn't control himself and ended up calling out her na.
"Aella…"
"…"
While calling her na didn't seem all that great as there were no major changes or signs of her exiting, this one word saved Aella and helped her in evolving!
.
.
.
'Where…?'
'Where am I?'
'What is this place?'
Aella found herself in a large forest the second the evolution began. She found herself alone, silence all around.
"Your Highness…?"
"…"
"Master…?
"…"
She tried calling out to Shin but there was no response. Only silence prevailed yet again!
