Survival ( Part 8 )
The group looked at each other and with an inhuman understanding they ran towards the water. The big wolf that was there seemed to be taking its last breath.
Anka didn't know why but she felt something familiar from this wolf but she couldn't put her finger on that description or memory.
Fahim got dangerously close to one of the front paws and pulled out three wolf cubs born from there.
Yes . The wolf was a female that had recently given birth.
The three cubs were the size of a dog, which didn't seem small, but if you had a treasure the size of the wolves here, they would really be too small.
Fahim had taken one, Svartur had taken one and Skoni had taken the last one. Anka just stared at them , for various reasons that she didn't understand either.
Then before leaving, the girl looks at the death of the animal. She had a feeling that if she gave the last blow , the wolf would have a peaceful death so what did she think and did.
With the black dagger she dug directly into the wolf's heart which was almost dug by the crows. The wolf instantly howled then fell silent.
With that, they disappeared from the forest, and reappeared back in front of the cave below the waterfall. This was the reason why they went a long way without any fear.
As the weather was getting weirder and weirder, the group decided to share a single cave again for safety. The wolf cubs were extremely quiet since they were taken.
Svartur used the skull of a bear killed yesterday to make a bowl. In it , he made a paste of long meat with a little water and fed them slowly. Skoni rested by the wall and looked out for possible danger.
Anka had several wounds on her body made by crows and Fahim was currently using his magic to heal them.
The girl was not paying attention at the moment. The feeling that something was changing inside her body and soul made her uncomfortable.
At one point during the fight with the crows the system announced the development of her talent 'I can use anything I get my hands on' (A-???) but then her development was blocked because she is not in an optimal state, so now it should start unlocking the talent again because it's safe.
[Ding!]
[ The host went through a tough battle and the body was injured and regenerated several times. ]
[The host gets another point to physical strength .]
[The host had to concentrate and attack quickly and accurately many times with a low failure rate.]
[The host gets another point for agility.]
[The host's body was completely healed.]
[Friendly moment: unlocking another level of the talent 'I can use anything I get my hands on' restarts, please host stay awake.]
'Stay awake?'
Then a terrible pain caught the poor girl off guard.
She couldn't help herself and moaned in pain. The people in cave looked at her questioningly , only to notice her chalky white skin and strangely tense body.
-What happened ?
The elf asked the dragon who was not far from Anka.
Fahim looked at Anka as if he was fascinated by something and then stood up.
- It just evolves. It probably met some requirements. Now her soul is undergoing changes which is quite painful as you know. We just have to leave her alone for now.
Svarur nodded and went to prepare a bed for the wolf cubs.
Being an elf , he had a natural affinity with forest animals and it made him a natural to deal with these guests.
The girl's condition lasted only a few minutes, but for her it seemed like a very long time. She didn't know why but since she arrived in this world it hadn't even been a week but she had already been subjected to so much pain...
'Is it worth living in this state? '
Negative thoughts that were deep in her heart now surfaced due to fatigue and pain.
'Is this how I wanted to live?'
' Is this my new life?'
She felt as if 'something' was trying to enter her soul, but she was so repulsive to that 'something' that for a moment , did not know if these were her feelings or someone else's.
'Isn't it like disgust ... more like bitter taste?'
Her mind was becoming so confused that meaningless thoughts would appear and disappear.
Then she felt cold from the very bottom of her heart. She didn't know what it was but that 'something' that was trying to enter her soul left without a trace at the appearance of this sensation of cold.
Then her whole body suddenly felt cold.
Not that the temperatures were cold but rather that her blood actually turned to ice...
Anka was now more awake than ever.
She could feel almost every cell in her body and could discern every movement around her.
The girl did not know but her outward appearance changes for a moment. But it was so short that the elf and star woman who weren't paying attention missed that , but the dragon, he was always watching her.
' I'm so tired, but somehow my body is still full of energy...'
Anka didn't have time before to check the character window but now she wanted to see what other changes had happened.
[ Host . You had multiple notifications during talent evolution .]
'Show me.'
[Ding!]
[ The player goes through the talent evolution process .]
[ Error . The player's soul repels the energy provided by the system ...]

[ Scan successful.]
[ The player has successfully evolved the talent.]
[ The system does not detect any anomalies.]
[ Reporting requirement cancelled.]
[ An increase in body stats is detected .]
[ Recalculation finished .]
[ We ask the player to check the character window and continue the hard work .]
[ The player receives a special scroll ( S ) and a box ( S ).]
'An unknown energy...?'
Anka read every message but they did not have much impact on her. Somehow she had become a little calmer after this development. Then open the character window.
