Shin was taken by surprise when his gaze fell on Aella. Her body had stopped emitting the light, but despite that, her body shone brighter than before.

The pure white fur matched the moonlight. It was basically shinning.

Aella had grown in size too. Not much, but she was definitely a bit bigger than her previous self.

Indeed, Shin was the same size as her earlier, but now, she was a bit bigger than Shin.

Shin was enchanted by the shinning fur but more than that, he was baffled by the mindblowing stats.

He thought that all this change had occurred because he named her, but there was another thing that had occurred that caused the change.

Yes, it was evolution. Aella had reached the maximum level after Shin had left to wander probably when the massacre had started and should have evolved earlier, but unfortunately, she hadn't met one of the requirements that were required to evolve.

A name, she didn't have a name due to which she couldn't evolve. Fortunately enough, Shin named her causing her to evolve which enabled her to move on to the next step in becoming a predator!

Shin took a peek at her status only to get awed. He realized that after seeing the change in rank and other stats that she had indeed evolved!

"..."

Speechless, Shin was completely speechless. He read all that in monstrous speed but unfortunately, the stats were so awesome that he lost all his words to say.

Especially the title which she received made him fascinated. Indeed, its description awed him too.

He could feel a strong link between himself and her.

He was trying to accept the fact that Aella had undergone a superb evolution when suddenly he heard a stunning soft voice.

"Master..."

"Huh?", when Shin heard this voice, he flinched all of a sudden.

"What the-"

He was looking at the texts so he didn't see Aella moving her jaw while calling that.

Of course, it was only after she said the next thing that he finally realized that it was Aella that had suddenly started to speak.

"Thank you for saving me, master!", was what she said.

It gave a weird tickle in his ear. It was probably the softest and kindest voice he had heard so far.

"..."

He was just staring at her while his mind went blank. He just enjoyed the little tickle that he felt in his ears.

"Master...?", Aella called him to see if anything was wrong.

"Is something wrong?"

"Ah, nothing..."

Aella started talking slowly. She talked about many things but most of the things were related to her being thankful to Shin for saving her and playing with her!

"Haha, you can thank me later..."

"Let's leave this place for now..."

Aella nodded her head after hearing that and walked away from the place with Shin. Both of them entered the forest and headed towards the South.

It was already night time so it wasn't probably safe to enter a forest due to which Shin suggested resting nearby.

Of course, they were already inside the forest, but they weren't much far from the terrain of the Biola Clan either.

Since the wolves ruled this area, they would have definitely hunted so there wasn't much of a need to get scared since no dangerous beast would roam around.

In any case, Aella had already fallen asleep. She was probably tired and Shin realized that due to which he didn't ask much.

Of course, he wanted to know about how the fire started and about this betrayal which he had heard earlier, but right now, he controlled himself and refrained from asking her and disturbing her.

Also, he didn't pester himself by thinking all this stuff. He had some other things to worry about too.

'Ah, I wonder why I didn't gain any skills?'

'Didn't the system say that I would be gaining the skills that my vessel would learn?', Shin asked himself.

Shin tried to recall what the system had said but his memory wasn't that good. Also, it wasn't something he thought to remember.

"Uh, I could just ask the system instead of breaking my head...", well, that was wiser indeed.

'Hey system, why didn't I gain any of my Vessel's skills?', Shin asked.

'Ding'

[ The host will be able to use the skills of the Vessel directly without converting it into a skill ]

"Huh...?"

And now Shin was completely confused because he had no idea as to how to do that.

"Wait, do you mean to say that I won't get any skills but will still be able to use it?", Shin tried to confirm.

[ Affirmative ]

"..."

"Wait..."

"If I don't have a skill, then how the heck will I be able to use it?"

Shin was confusing himself by asking many questions. He was basically twisting the questions.

Well, he wanted to understand what the system meant and even if he did understand, he wanted to verify if it was true because he couldn't possibly use untested things when his life would be in danger!

'Ding'

[ The skills will be gained by the vessel but the host will be able to activate the same skill and use it ]

"..."

"I give up..."

"Let's just sleep!"historical

It wasn't that hard to understand but right now he was quite sleepy. He was tired too afterall.

In any case, both Aella and Shin slept near each other under a massive tree that had quite a beautiful pink flower which shone in the moonlight.

"..."
