Chapter 1309: Showing Off Natural Gifts

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A cold aura was overflowing from the Frost Wolf pup. It shrunk its body around Kieran’s feet with squinted eyes.
Its odd-colored eyes, one brown and one blue, were showing the glimmers of intellect, especially when the three white marks on its forehead shined with a bluish-white brilliance, it looked like three ghastly fires.
The whole process lasted for around 5 minutes. When everything was over, the Frost Wolf pup didn’t change in appearance, but its aura was strengthened without a doubt.

…
Compared to its original attributes, Attack and Defense were one rank higher, reaching Average. [Worry] gained an extra Agility buff and [Frost Breath] increased its range.
In general, it didn’t really change much in the roots.
But, so what?
The Frost Wolf pup only ate one [Ice Remnant Pieces], there were still four more to go.
The pup looked up at Kieran, Kieran nodded with a smile.
The pup then quickly ate the remaining [Ice Remnant Pieces].
When all four of the [Ice Remnant Pieces] were eaten, some apparent changes finally occurred to the pup. The three white marks on its forehead were more prominent, its body was bigger, like a dog of 3 to 4 months in age and not a little puppy that drinks milk anymore.
More importantly, the attributes of the Frost Wolf changed drastically.

…
The Frost Wolf shook its body and walked around the room as if it was trying to adapt to its new-found powers.
The process lasted for around a minute before the Frost Wolf ran back to Kieran’s feet, curling up into a ball.
Compared to this puppy stage, the new Frost Wolf would help Kieran even more, not just in terms of strength but attitude-wise as well.
Frost Wolf, during its puppy stage, was obedient but quite hyperactive, unlike the growing stage in which it became quiet while maintaining a certain level of vigilance.
Kieran was scrutinizing Frost Wolf, Frost Wolf was also looking at Kieran.
Then…
Frost Wolf turned its head around and bit the chair’s leg.
“Teeth grinding?”
Kieran jolted, he could feel the happiness from the Frost Wolf’s heart, so he didn’t stop it.
Even though the chair was bitten into shreds within minutes.
It was just a chair, why care?
Kieran extended his hand with a smile and touched its head, then he took the remaining [Ice Remnant] out.
Frost Wolf’s attention was instantly captivated by the [Ice Remnant].
“Do you still want it?” Kieran asked.
Frost Wolf nodded right away, but it then shook its head.
“You want it, but after the consecutive power-ups, you still need time to digest everything?”
Frost Wolf’s movements and the feeling through the connected heart allowed Kieran to grasp its meaning precisely.
Kieran couldn’t help but smile when he saw Frost Wolf nod again.
It was a smile of praise.
Kieran tried his best to overestimate Frost Wolf’s intellect, but based on the actions it displayed, Kieran was still surprised and delighted.
While facing great temptation, even common men couldn’t resist, it was hard for one to think straight under such circumstances. Instead, they would act like wild animals that followed their instinct.
From the moment they were born, they lived to survive.
Eating, mating, moving, everything done was to continue their survival.
“I hope you can surprise me more.”
Kieran bent over and carried Frost Wolf in his arms once more.
He softly caressed its head to its back, causing Frost Wolf to squint its eyes.
The room quickly quieted down, only Kieran and Frost Wolf’s breaths were heard.
Time passed, seconds became minutes.
The sun slowly set on the horizon.
Darkness descended on Eiders again.
A swift black figure moved out before the night truly came.
The figure swiftly infiltrated the station, and without being noticed, the figure entered the heavily guarded underground facility.
The figure seemed to be familiar with the place, just like how the figure could silently infiltrate the place, the figure also knew where the target was.
The morgue!
The figure avoided all the guards and finally stood in front of the cabinet labeled ‘Wilberst.’
The figure pulled the mortuary cabinet eagerly and checked the body inside.
Then, a smile hung over the figure’s face.
Without lingering further, the figure carried the body and went back the way he came from.
No, more precisely, the figure was sprinting towards his next destination.
The Graveyard. The Central Graveyard.
The grave of Arwena Algo Zelgar.
