Chapter 500: The Wolf of Disaster
"Let me ask again, Equinox. How did you get a demon wolf as your soulbound? They are no longer living in the main world as their prey no longer dwells there. There is another reason, but I will not tell you." Ashana asked Adrian who is still currently trapped in the magic circle.
"You could already tell that I am a summoner so you could get an answer from that information, right?" Adrian replied as he paced back and forth inside the magic circle. He is currently studying it in an attempt to escape and pick up another form of spell language.
"You mean that you manage to make it evolve but ordinary wolves will not evolve into a demon wolf unless they had the strain. Tell me where you obtained the wolf, and I might consider setting you free. That is of course if you tell me the absolute truth." Ashana stated which made Adrian raise his left eyebrow.
"So, she has an ability that can see if the person she is talking to is saying the truth. It must have limitations like being the only person that the person in question could talk to. Spells that can distinguish the truth are very finicky and has lots of safeguards after all." Adrian thought as he deliberated if he needs to tell the truth.
"I got Sirius in a village when he is but a dog. He is not originally a wolf like you thought. He did have the demon wolf strain, but he is my first soulbound which is why he is very important to me." Adrian stated which made his shadow somewhat flicker a bit as Sirius heard what he said.
"Now, I think it is my turn to ask a question as it would only seem fair." Adrian suggested.
"I guess that is only fair. I will answer you to the best of my ability as long as it is not a deep secret." Ashana stated as she magically created a chair and sat on it in a cross-legged position.
" Why did you attack my soulbound earlier?" Adrian stated in a smile that is not a smile. The aura that he is releasing could be enough to suffocate anyone in his area if it is not limited by the magic circle.
"You do not need to release an intense bloodlust as I will answer you truthfully. We thought that your soulbound is from the pack of The Wolf of Disaster. It has been a long time since we have started a war between its pack as it would always send demon wolves to our village.
We will never forgive that Wolf of Disaster for treating our village as a training camp for its pack members. We are already having difficulty hunting because its territory is large due to the defeat of the Lunar Wolf." Ashana stated as she curled her fist into a ball and expressed her anger. The tails behind her also swayed in fury as it reacted to her motions.
"This Lunar Wolf. You seem to venerate it as you spoke highly of it despite its defeat." Adrian asked as he could more or less deduce that the Lunar Wolf might be Sirius' mother. He managed to peak inside Sirius' memory once when he entered the Soul Chambers of each soulbound.
"The Lunar Wolf use to be the ruler of the north side of this forest but the Wolf of Disaster came and defeated the former. Not only did the Wolf of Disaster kill the Lunar Wolf but it also slaughtered every wolf in her pack.
It would have been better if the Lunar Wolf managed to escape. In this world, there are four overlords who are said to be a guardian of their territories. Each overlord guarded their territory but did not stray from the territories of other overlords.
The Wolf of Disaster is different as it treated its army as expendables. It also treated the territories of the other overlords as its pack very own training courses. The overlords that guarded their territories started to roam around in an attempt to kill each demon wolf that enters their territory." Ashana stated.
"So, this Wolf of Disaster got its name from the disasters it brought to this world when it arrived. If there are four overlords here, then where do the Selvaggian race live? Do you live in the center of the forest?" Adrian stated.
"The Wolf of Disaster is not called because of the disaster it brought upon this world but because it is disaster incarnate. I do not know the specifics, but the elders of the clan always tell us that to scare us from going inside the forest alone.
You are correct in guessing that the metropolis is located at the center of the territory of this world. The four overlords did not attack us back then as we respected their territories. The only one breaking that balance is the Wolf of Disaster." Ashana stated with a wry smile.
"If the Wolf of Disaster could kill an overlord, then how did the Selvaggians fend him." Adrian asked as he is curious. Monsters tend to be more powerful than NPCs in terms of raw stats and strength.
"Back then the other species are unified. The king back then was also a demigod, but that king transcended to divinity. The next ones that succeeded are weaker despite me not wanting to admit it. Thankfully, the Wolf of Disaster got injured at the fight, but its pack grew stronger." Ashana stated.
[You obtained a hint on the current status of the world boss, Fenris. You still need to verify this information as it has been a long time since that happened.]
"The Wolf of Disaster, Fenris. To think that it is still powerful despite being shackled by the gods. I guess the gods were not afraid of it for no reason but that would also mean that a small team will not be able to take it out.
We could have a chance to kill it if I rally the other three overlords an have the full force of the Evergreen guild. I do not want to impose though but the next problem is its pack members. I should also not rule out that it could have produced children after hundreds of years." Adrian thought as his chances of killing a world boss got slimmer.
Not only does he need to kill a world boss with limited number of allies, the time for the dark god in the capital is almost near. They only have fifty days left before the barrier created by the gods disappears. Adrian needs to kill a world boss within a thirty ay time frame at least.
"Tell me as this is my last question. What are you doing in this world, Equinox? The Daemos rarely come to this world as your race do not need to monitor this world. It is in the jurisdiction of our race after all." Ashana asked as this is the only thing that she is curious about. Adrian smiled and gave a very confident answer that even Ashana did not expect.
"I am here to kill the Wolf of Disaster." Adrian stated which made Ashana freeze on the spot.

The news about several portals appearing in each branch of the Church of Life has been spread. At first the players that are members of the Church of Life did not believe the conversion but the elders themselves verified it.
The place called Avalon is now famous as it is also the place where new players of the dark elf species spawned if they picked the priest class. The one thing that baffled all the priest players that had the job class of Priest of Life is that their converted class is overpowered in their view.
The new class that they could be converted to is Priest of the Twin Gods. This priest job class is different from other priest class that can only heal because they can also cast curses. The most important thing is that each priest could even handle a weapon if they choose so.
The Job class advancements for it would be Priest > Priest of the Twin Gods > Dusk Paladin / Dawn Seer. There are also hidden branches of the priest class as long as they satisfy the requirement and talk to a weird tree planted in what the elders called as the Holy Land.
Not only did the elven players got back to their former strength but the news of a secret elven power has been the topic of rumors. They said that this power could help awaken an elf to become a high elf. Up till now, the elven players do not know a way to become a high elf, but this rumor made lost of elven players flock to the mysterious territory.
There is also the rise of the Evergreen guild back to the status of a top guild. Even the other guild leaders could not neglect Anastacia's current job class. It seems that she became even more powerful that she could even go toe to toe with a warrior player despite being a priest. One thing is for sure, the rise of priest players made a positive effect for dealing with the dark god.
