Shaar regretted choosing this direction when he saw the Odins were beginning to line up in a formation. He immediately began to cautiously retreat and used his agility to silently climb on the trunks. His movements were vigorous like a lynx and his body bent like a cat in order to climb from one tree to another. This process was slow since he tried to make each movement as light as possible, until he moved over a dozen trees away and entered depths of the forest. Only after distancing himself from that group of Odin soldiers, Shaar reluctantly increased his movements to speed up and enter further into the forest.
However, very soon a squad of Icefield hunters suddenly appeared deep in the forest, which immediately sent Shaar’s heart up his throat.
These guys’ sharpness was strong enough to threaten and expose Shaar’s hideout!
Immediately stopping all his movements, he hid himself in a thick branch of a large tree……
Using his sharp eyes, Shaar spied through dense foliage and got a glimpse of a squad full of majestic Odin soldiers coming closer. Both tall and burly, every one of them looked very capable and vigorous. Each of them had cold expressions on their faces while wearing animal skins and carrying a short axe. A hidden violent aura could be seen in their eyes as they quietly stood there in a circle.
The most terrifying thing for Shaar was that, more and more Odins were gathering at that place. Beside those Icefield hunters, there were a dozen Odins who were wearing strange animal skins. These guys didn’t carry any weapons but they were wearing various accessories made of strange types of animal bones. An old, but big and skinny Odin with a wild disordered hair stood out amidst among them. He was wearing a large fur lined robe with nothing underneath unexpectedly. This Odin seemed to have the highest rank among them as everyone else maintained a considerable distance and respectful stance towards him.
A fire was quickly lit on the ground and that skinny Odin grabbed a handful strange powder from his leather bag, throwing it into the fire. Immediately, that flame turned into a bizarre green as the flames erupted.
While this fellow scattered the powder into the fire, his mouth started to cast some strange notes.Since Shaar didn’t speak the Odin language, he couldn’t understand what that guy was saying. Nevertheless, while that Odin was singing, the others around him started to kneel while prostrating around that green fire……
A strange feeling crept from Shaar’s heart.
This Odin……Is he a magician?
Ah, no, he heard that the Odin didn’t call them magicians, but……gothi?
The Odin soldiers at the back quickly carried over two wild animals, a living wolf and even living grizzly bear!!
These animals were tied up and put next to the fire while they were still fiercely roaring furiously and making threatening expressions. However, the Odin gothi walked towards them with a strange smile and stroked their fur with his hand. Suddenly, that wolf felt something and seemed extremely frightened and did not even dare to struggle. Pitifully shrinking its head, it started to make some whining sounds……
The gothi put on a gloomy smile and gently put his hand on the wolf’s head while pressing his fingers, which resembled a dried twig on it. The chanting coming from his mouth became increasingly more erratic as the wolf’s cry gradually disappeared.
When the gothi’s fingers gently pinched the wolf’s head……Shaar stared at him with widened eyes as he saw this strange scene……
A transparent light was gently “pulled out” of the wolf’s head by that gothi!!
That mass of light was very weak and after it “detached” itself from the wolf’s body, that wolf immediately stopped moving and turned stiff.
Suddenly thinking about his experiences during the dragon hunt, Shaar’s heart started to pound like crazy!
It’s……. the Soul!
This gothi unexpectedly “pulled” the soul from a living wolf with his bare hands!!
With a solemn expression, the gothi held this mass of light in his hand and gently threw it into the green flame……
*Bang* the green light flared up and from within the flames, a painful loud howling rang out!
The gothi used his finger and directly pulled a mass of green flame from the blaze and it turned into a dozen smaller green luminous spots on his hands. Gently flipping with his finger, he shot those light particles on those burly Odin warriors surrounding him!
When those light particles fell on the Odin warrior’s body, chest and head, it immediately fused with their bodies. Suddenly, each warrior lifted his head and howled a painful cry!
A painful expression could be seen on each of those Odin warrior’s faces as their muscles constantly distorted. Each one of them started to bare their teeth and some of them even started to shed tear and snot. It seemed as if an enormous pain was being inflicted upon them as some even began to struggle to remain standing. Their body began to stiffen and swayed from side to side like puppets, before they suddenly tore apart their fur lined robes. From their bare chest, one could see their muscles were rapidly inflating with the naked eye. The surface of their skins quickly burst open, but soon a new layer of skin would cover their wounds and a thick black fur started to grow out of this new layer of skin. Even their faces started to grow a dense fur……like, like……
Monstrosities made of half wolf and half human?
Their initially cold eyes suddenly turned into a strange green! As if there was a green flame radiating within their eyes!! Although they previously had a cold stare, there was at least a hint of human emotions in them. However, now within two pair of green flames there were no longer any traces of humanity left in them.
(Burning the soul of beasts and injecting them into a human body……could it be ……)
Shaar’s expression changed abruptly.
