Chapter 47 Capturing the Black Wolf

All of Black Wolf's magic relies on shadows, so let's make sure he has no shadows to use!

"Woof!"

The black wolf lowered its body and stared at Yanami. Now, apart from the shadow beneath its feet, there was nothing left for it to use.

Its body emitted a glow, its own shadow began to writhe, and then a clone was born.

Seeing this, Yanami controlled a flaming arrow to pierce the head of the clone before it could take shape, and the clone burned and dissipated.

So, do you have any other ideas?

Now it's trapped like a turtle in a jar, and Yanami could easily pierce it with a thousand arrows, but Yanami wants to capture it alive and hand it over to Klein.

Speaking of which... why hasn't Klein returned yet?

Black Wolf looked around and finally realized that there was still a shadow behind him.

That was a way out that Yanami had specially left for it.

Without hesitation, it darted into the shadows in an instant. At the same time, Yanami manipulated the fire arrows to illuminate the shadows where it was hiding, leaving it a way out.

If it tries to hide again, Yanami will shine the light again.

If it resists, let it experience the heat of the arrow.

Following the shadow left by Yanami, the black wolf leaped through the shadows of the forest.

With the physical strength provided by [Agility], Yanami was able to keep up with the three-legged black wolf.

Finally, under Yanami's constant guidance, it arrived at the plantation.

With nowhere else to go and surrounded by Yanami's floating fire arrows, the black wolf charged into the plantation without hesitation, leaving no choice but to follow.

We've finally arrived.

The plantation was filled with Klein's dense vines, beneath which lay thick shadows, blocking out all light. Black Wolf should have been perfectly at home here.

But... Yanami has command authority over all of Klein's vines.

Activating her telepathic abilities, Yanami issued a command to all the vines the moment the black wolf charged into the vine mass.

"Entwine."

"Awoo?!"

For the first time, Yanami heard terror in the roar of a magical beast.

A single vine may not be enough to bind it, but an entire plantation is a different story.

All the vines wrapped around it, binding its limbs and mouth, but some of its body remained exposed to the light of the crystals, preventing it from blending into the shadows.

Then, Yanami stretched out her palm towards the mummy wolf in front of her.

Activate the newly acquired ability—psychic hypnosis.

After ten seconds of incantation, the black wolf fell into a deep sleep, enveloped in vines.

This new ability... requires you to keep the target locked on for ten seconds while casting the spell, which doesn't seem very useful.

"Ah... I'm so tired, but I'm finally done."

Yanami waved her hand, and all the fire arrows disappeared. Then she collapsed to the ground.

Once Klein has control of this black wolf, I'll eat one of its legs as a reward!

Remove Agility and Flame Shield.

Yanami sat on the ground, panting, and fanned herself with her hand.

It's so hot... What's going on?

Yanami had been using her fire shield the whole time, so she didn't feel it, but after it was deactivated, she found herself being hit by a heat wave behind her.

He turned his head around unintentionally.

"what?"

Fire!

The entire forest... is on fire!

I made sure to avoid the trees just now... It must be because I was trying to control too many things at once and got careless...

Outside the cave, an entire forest was ablaze.

"It's all over! Aa ...

Yanami sprang to her feet and rushed into the forest... a sea of ​​fire!

No, the fire is too big; we can't put it out at all!

There's nothing more we can do... At least, save Klein's plantation!

Yanami quickly took action, first using magic to burn down the plants around the plantation, and then using water manipulation to draw water over and extinguish the fire.

This creates a firebreak.

Then, Yanami took all her belongings and hid in the safe house.

Klein did not return for a long time. Yanami was exhausted and had lost too much blood. Although she was very worried about Klein, she was overwhelmed by drowsiness and fell into a coma.

………………

After hearing the whole story, Klein sighed.

I am deep in the swamp, while Yanami is burning hot in the plantation...

The situation on both sides is truly dire.

"Yana, do you know why you were ambushed by Black Wolf?"

Why?

Yanami tilted her head in confusion.

"Because wolves have a very keen sense of smell. You've been watching from nearby for so long, it must have spotted you a long time ago."

"Oh? I see..."

Yanami looked very surprised.

"Don't you know?"

She honestly shook her head. If she didn't know, there was really nothing she could do. After all, Yanami probably didn't know anything about biology... But maybe this world should be called Monster Studies?

"I wonder how the forest is doing now."

It should be late at night by now, but forest fires can burn for a long time.

"I'm going to check on the plantation. You can continue sleeping."

"Okay~ Haha..."

Klein didn't blame Yanami, which made her relax and yawn.

Klein's soul was transferred back to the plantation he had left a day earlier, and the plantation was illuminated by the firelight of the forest outside in the dead of night.

However, the Yanami firebreak was very well done, and the forest fire did not reach the plantation.

The black wolf that attacked Yanami was still fast asleep.

Activate skill: Detect

Success rate: 43%

Launch failed.

As someone at level 21, my success rate with it is only 43%?

Before, when Yanami described it, I didn't really grasp its true power, but now Klein has a better understanding of how strong it is.

After two more attempts, it started successfully, and Klein saw its message.

Shadow Dive: Merges with a shadow larger than oneself, allowing for rapid movement within the shadows, but preventing attacks. [Dark Magic][Exclusive Magic]

Shadowfang: Control your own shadow to bite. [Dark Magic]

[Weakness: The eye used to sense light.]

Unlike the stealthy bone-stealing type like the Shadow Wolf and the Invisible Badger, this is a magician who relies on intelligence.

Furthermore, there is one spell that is not exclusive to Yanami, but according to her, it achieves the goal of being cast without incantation.

It possesses high magical power and excels at manipulating stealth and its own shadow, making it a very useful monster.

Yanami really gave me a great gift.

The weaker the monster, the higher the probability of Klein parasitizing it. Now that it is on the verge of death, it is a good time to parasitize it.

Klein took a seed from the plantation and, while the Shadow Wolf was still fast asleep, stuffed it into its wound.

Activate skill: Accelerate growth.

It sprouts, takes root, and pierces its scab.

"Ugh...!"

The shadow wolf was awakened by pain, its entire body bound. Because it was the dead of night, the only light in the plantation was the firelight outside the cave, which gave it the perfect opportunity to escape.

In its panic, it tried to activate Shadow Stealth.

Activate skill: Parasite

Success rate: 76%

Launch successful.

The Shadow Stealth was successfully activated and disappeared into the darkness, but at the same time, Klein also took control of it.
