Chapter 693 (2/2)

“A human?!” said Sui Xiong. He froze momentarily due to the sudden shock. Then he looked carefully and shook his head. “Actually, it’s not. It’s a… Ah, ugh… What’s this supposed to be?”

Through those chains, he could see a petite body like a human teenager. It was a small figure with a pair of beast ears. Looking carefully, those pair of ears bore some resemblance to that of a wolf or dog. But through its slowly opening mouth, he could see that it had also grown much more canine teeth than normal humans. It was sort of like a wild beast.

The more important thing was its disposition.

Though it was bound by chains like a dumpling, it exuded an unruly and violent force that was certainly the kind humans should not have. More importantly, on its body, Sui Xiong could not detect much light of wisdom. On the contrary, he could clearly feel the wildness of a beast.

“This is… a werewolf? Or a human raised by wolves? Humans don’t have ears like these… so it is a werewolf? Or maybe a hybrid?”

Sui Xiong muttered to himself for a moment, then went looking for Arcaian.

Arcaian was from the Elven race. As compared to a layman like himself, perhaps Arcaian would be clearer about the origins of this strange creature.

Regrettably, Arcaian was unclear too.

“Maybe my great-grandfather would know,” he said. “After all, half of his blood came from the advanced elf bloodline, and he was also part of the legacy of the ancient Elf Kingdom.”

So Sui Xiong went to look for Arcaian’s great-grandfather, Clarhott Pasteur.

Clarhott was working on an experiment at that time, so he was unhappy about the interruption. But when he saw that little fellow bound by green chains like a dumpling, all signs of anger vanished without a trace and his face was filled with a somber expression. This little fellow was instinctively starting to struggle. Bit by bit, it was exerting bouts of power to attempt to break free from these chains.

“The Lord of the Wolves, Kersemens?!” he exclaimed. His tone was a little tensed as he asked, “Why is this guy still alive?”

Sui Xiong was momentarily taken aback, then could not help asking, “The Lord of the Wolves, Kersemens? What’s this little guy’s background?”

Clarhott regained his composure only then, and said, “It’s an ancient demon whose origin has long been unverifiable. We only know that it has an endless magic power that’s so powerful, and also, it is able to control all the wolves. Therefore, it’s called the “Lord of the Wolves.’ In addition, it also has a nickname, which is the ‘inherent king of the mortal world’s magic power…’ In short, this guy is very powerful and dangerous.”

“How dangerous can he be?” Sui Xiong asked.

“According to the historical record, it was one of the earliest creatures that could be identified as using magic. At that time, it commanded the wolves and with great ease, and they traversed the great earth arbitrarily. Other than the powerful races like the dragons, there seemed to be no other race that could possibly confront them.”

“Even the elves couldn’t?”

“At that time, the advanced elves were still in the mortal world. The Golden Race’s one-upmanship was a notch higher than the Dragon Race, so how could we have lost to it?” Clarhott said proudly. “If we don’t stir any trouble for it, it should be more than thankful.”

Sui Xiong nodded slightly, then again, he asked, “So what happened later on?”

“Later on… probably after the Golden Race left, this guy caught a glimpse of the weakness of the Elf Kingdom and let the wolves attack us. That battle was named the ‘Wolf Disaster,’ and it was a very intense one at that. Because of the enchantment set by the Goddess of Life, the elven gods could not take the field personally. In the end, it took the combined efforts of the 12 demigod elders to destroy it… at least, this was what I know from what could be found in history.”

With that, he shook his head and sighed. “Though I was born sometime before the Golden Race left, by the time I grew up, the ‘Wolf Disaster’ was over. So I’ve only learned about it from the records left behind by my elders. But whether it be by looks or disposition, this guy is obviously Kersemens!”

Sui Xiong nodded. Once again, he cast his gaze at the slowly awakening Kersemens.

There was actually such a subject within the treasure trove. How unexpected!

Looking at Kersemens, he could not help wondering if this lord from the ancient times would serve any purpose for him. Or if possible, what would be a better task to assign to it…?
