Chapter 109 - One-Hundred-Five (1/2)

The sharing ability skill worked for sure, because behind me, laying on the floor half-sitting, is a red-haired lady with brown widen eyes staring at her own fingers, her wavy long hair having just enough ledge to cover her n.a.k.e.d body.

A dead giveaway of the identity of this strange woman was the pair of ears on top of her head, flickering back, somewhat socked.

While most of us here surprised by the change, staring at the woman as she moves her fingers and toes with an odd expression on her face, I was unmoved and rather calm by it as I hear the wolfhound on the side say:

”Wait, Lightfang? How did you… W-we can change forms like that?!?” Well, I wouldn't say that it was common but just now I realize that, for others, it must be rather unthinkable to be able to change forms like this. ”I-I can change like that too?”

This time I don't ignore the wolf-hound, seeing the desire burning in her sight, but look down on her, provoking her just for the fun of it, adding a sneer as I say: ”You are not part of my pack, so you don't get to have that.”

Growling she says: ”I can always get that myself!”

”Good luck with that…” I say, not amused, looking rather bored.

After me reaction her gaze goes back to the red lady, and for the first time she seems to really think about the pack thing, her tail wagging behind her like a crocked cat's tail, showing irritation, but her eyes never left Lightfang, her stare going up and down and staying for a long time on her face.

”Thilgon!” Says the red hound out of nowhere, her full lips barking and growling in Hound Language, giving her an even more wild look than her unkept appearance gave already. ”What the hell?! I wanted to be able to at least chose the abilities! Why the hell did you give me this form?”

”Are you that honored that your brain turned to goop?” She snarls a half growl that looks oddly animalistic in her humanoid face. ”I just gave you one of the most important and hard to come by abilities, you should be honored.” I say seriously, would I really need to explain it to her? How a humanoid form makes her able to pass by human society, how she learning how to read and talk and acc.u.mulate knowledge and experience would benefit her, how I just gave her one of the safest ways to travel this land and learn about many things?!

”How can this be useful?! I can even stand right! Look at this weird limbs!” She keeps complaining after trying to stand and failing miserably, remembering me of my own first time trying humanoid legs, so long ago, inside a dungeon, on a small house, little Leonel beside me, supporting me.

He was so different back then… such a mysterious kid, but somehow cute, how did he become this pervert straightforward man?

Sigh, even my brother now has… has already grown up.

I'm getting old and grumpy aren't I? Well, at least grumpy for sure.

Remembering of both of them now when they were so far away from me makes me uncomfortable and a little sad.

And that feeling only gets worse as after the red-hound keeps complaining and barking, acc.u.mulating with the fact that this little trip resulted in failure, joining with the fact that I still don't have Aeglos cure or my brother's location, my mood turns downhill quite fast.

”What is the point of telling you, figure it out yourself! And you can change back!” I say before standing and walking away before I hit her again only to shut her up.

Remember me why I thought it was a good idea to bring these hounds along?!

Waste of time, waste of time!

All this search, all this talk, and for nothing!

Urg! I just want to bite something off!

All comes crashing down once more, the reality that my brother was still out there, but now ten times worse since I have the clear image of the captor.

Cain.

That little prick…

He thinks is funny uhm? Like a little game and we are mere pawns… I'll show him that the biggest mistake of his life was getting on my bad side and making me his enemy.

I will show him just how big the rage that once made me hunt down humankind is…

I can feel my fur stand and ignite into my Black Flame, giving an even more wild look to my hound black form as I try to calm down amidst the increasing anger that curses my veins, making me crack my bones and growl at nothing.

That was the bad part about one of my abilities that has grow with me… it was already bad from the beginning I supposed, but since it evolved it turned to worse.

My Berserker Mode.

Now, named Possessed Mode, it was far stronger yet far more uncontrollable than before, with 100% chance of me losing control.
