Chapter 92: Beast-kin? ...And Level 60! (1/2)
-----
”GGRRYAAOO…!”
The Giant Thunder Wolf that was about to devour that half-wolf guy began to burn with the use of my Infernal Flare, it was an A-Rank++ monster, so it was fairly strong, but I spammed it Infernal Flare into fireballs until the bastard died grilled alive.
I flew down below as I saw my party quickly finish off the other giant wolves, and then I glanced at the strange people that Ervas had pointed out.
Really, beast-kin?
Beast-kin are popular in most fantasy fiction, they are half-beast and half-human people, sometimes they only have little features such as a tail and ears, or sometimes they are full-on furries with the heads of animals and all…
But these guys were the other kind, those that are still like people but covered in fur or scales in some areas, have tails, and sharp fangs and claws, alongside ears of animals.
I checked the status of the guy I just saved from being eaten as I discovered that his name was Javier Gutierrez, and seemed to have mutated into a Beast-kin through some strange means, but he was a human, at least a former human from earth.
But now… how odd, why did he become a beast-kin out of nowhere?
I asked Gaia but she had no idea either.
”I can detect life forms, but the amount of different phenomena's brought from all these dimensions is way too big, it is very hard for me to understand them… But I would guess that something triggered such a mutation. Although it doesn't seem to be so bad, as it helped him and those with him to survive up until this point,” she said.
The beast-kin group glanced at my group with awe and were surprised over some of them.
”Y-Your group… is way stronger, did you use this hologram thing to become stronger? A-Ah, sorry, thank you for helping us out… After transforming, my mind feels way too dizzy so I cannot articulate… words properly,” said Javier.
The other people also seemed thankful, as some pointed out if we were also beast-kin, as they saw Kireina and Katrina with butterfly wings and thought they had become butterfly beast-kin, or that Anna had become a squirrel beast-kin… The same with Vudia and the rest.
It would be way too troublesome to reveal that I got a system to summon powerful beings, so I lied.
”More or less, we were just as lucky as you, I managed to tame some monsters too, if you defeat them and force them to obey you, they will become tamed,” I said, also answering one of the questions they had over our tamed monsters.
”Amazing… Ah! D-Do you know what's happening?! Is this the apocalypse? Is God finally done with us and has decided to punish us? T-This means that those that didn't go to the heavens are us…!” said Javier.
Ah… Well, if I were religious I would also think the same, bud, but nope…
Well, I might as well go with the flow and act as if I don't know anything.
”I have no idea, I've just been surviving by killing a monster with my family here… I have a strange power that lets me open a portal to inner space, please, get inside, it's safe there!” I said, quickly inviting everyone inside my Inner World after we finished off the wolves that were roaming around, which gave me enough EXP to finally hit the level cap.
Ding!
