[ You have killed a wild Teronaris ]

[ You have gained 128 Exp ]

Right after that, another notification popped up.

'Ding'

[ Congratulation ]

[ You have completed the daily quest ]

[ Quest 96: Hunt A Teronaris ] [ completed ]

[ You have gained the daily quest reward -> 100 exp ]

Well, he gained 100 exp every time he completed the daily quest so it wasn't any surprise to him. Whatever he now eagerly started to run towards their home.

He was so anxious, because of the weird feeling that kept on clinging to him, that he left the prey as it was.historical

He basically ran without even eating it which was probably the first time he had done it.

[ You have used the skill Dash ]

-> Your speed is raised by 100%

-> Dexterity of the limbs is increased by 50%

-> Fatigue will start to get accumulated by 0.05 per second.

-> Skill will get deactivated automatically the moment fatigue reaches 20

He ran with all his might right after using that skill. He was so worried that he ended up using the skill which he had gained thanks to Aella.

'Ding'

[ You have used the skill Wind Run ]

[ -> Speed has been increased by 60% ]

[ -> the skill will last for 00:00:05:00 ( 5 minutes ) ]

[ -> Cool Down Timer: 00:01:00:00 ( 1 hour ) will be enacted after the first five minutes finish ]

He ended up activating to speed-boosting skills. Because of the skill dash, his speed had already increased by several folds and now thanks to the skill Wind Run, his speed almost doubled.

It took him almost no time to reach the place which he considered as his home, of course, it took him around a minute or so after increasing his speed tremendously.

"Huh?", all the skills had been deactivated by now.

It seemed like he was shocked by something after arriving at the place.

'What the heck?', he was baffled by the sight.

The area that surrounded the den was completely destroyed. It was as if some storm had swept away every tree in the area, of course, it was an exaggeration since the trees were lying down on the ground but they had definitely been destroyed.

There were many cut marks on the bark of the trees and the same could be seen on some boulders or rocks that were present in the surrounding place.

'This devastation...'

'Isn't it due to the hurricane skill?', he asked himself.

'And these cut marks...'

'Probably Aero Slash?'

He was almost sure about it because he had the same skills. Of course, he had used them countless times so he was familiar with the effects and the marks that usually get imprinted in the place due to the attacks.

'Other than me, the only one who possesses these skills is Aella...', he realized that something was wrong.

Of course, he hadn't arrived near the den, he was still a bit far from the den, maybe 100 meters?

He rushed almost immediately and finally arrived near the den without actually using any skills because he had no time for the skills to get activated, or perhaps he didn't get the thought to use them.

"No way..."

"It can't be..."

He could see blood marks here and there, of course, there were corpses too.

"Humans!?", Shin was almost sure that they were humans, of course, by seeing the bodies that were lifeless.

"What?"

"How?"

He was somewhat speechless and his mind was almost blank. All he could think of was Aella, he wanted to know where she was and while he was searching for her, he hoped for her safety!

"Aella!", he shouted at the top of his voice but there was no response.

He ran towards the den and eventually entered it. However, there was no one inside it. Of course, since the den wasn't large enough, one could tell if anyone was inside or not by just seeing from the entrance.

"Aella! Where are you!?"

"Aella!", he shouted many times and called her name but she was nowhere to be found.

"Just what the heck is going on?", tears started flowing down his eyes when he couldn't find her.

His mind was overflowing with tons of thoughts.

"Where is she!?", he ran here and there.

He shouted numerous times but there was no reply. He thought about looking a bit more around when suddenly he was zapped with a large amount of intense electric shock.

'Ding'

[ The electric discharge has no effect on the host due to high immunity against thunder/electric shocks/ mental shocks ]

'Ding'

[ Skill Shock Resistance has immunized the host's body completely against electric shocks ]

That didn't even sting him, such low-level electric shocks were nothing to him. Of course, that was because of the high leveled skill that he had.

Regardless, Shin didn't care about that. Right now there was only one thing that he thought about, and that was about Aella!

"Where is she!?", he raised his voice.

He then turned towards the humans that were dead. Until now he had been blinded by emotions so he had failed to see that there were bite marks on the humans that had killed them!

"That..."

He walked closer to them in order to check the marks that were present on them.

"These marks definitely belong to..."

"They belong to..."

"Aella!"

He was able to recognize them almost immediately. Well, he had spent a lot of time with her.

He knew how big her mouth was and had an idea about the length and width of her teeth since he had seen her bite marks on the leftover meat in many cases!

"Just what did you humans do with her?", he asked with rage.

He was infuriated because he knew that the humans were the ones responsible for Aella's disappearance.

"I don't want to lose her..."

"I..."

"I just don't want to lose anyone else...", his tears were unstoppable.

Of course, a wolf would usually howl while crying, however, he could barely even make any voice because of how powerless he felt as if he had lost something precious.

"Not again..."

"I don't want to lose again..."

"..."
