YM778.TV Chapter 205 Soul Forms
\'Hmm, while we wait for them to arrive, I think it is in our best interest to prepare ourselves for Clan Wars.\'
\'It is soon going to take place so we need to train a bit.\'
\'But I have no idea what those wars exactly are. I mean, what\'s the use of it anyway?\'
Shin had some questions that were confusing him. On top of that, he was wondering about the requirements to be accepted in the Clan Wars. Whether different races were accepted or allowed to participate in the event was a point of concern.
\'Hey system, can you give me an elaborate detail of the Clan Wars?\' - he relied on the system info.
*Ding*
p
[ Clan wars are presided over by Celestials. They can be termed as deathmatches and there are no restrictions to weapons or type of magic ]
[ Clan Wars have two specific rules, out of which the second one was added recently:
1) None other than the participants can intervene during a war/battle/match
2) Only two participants can be replaced or switch places with already existing participants ]
[ Clan Wars of three variant forms -> Inner Clan War, Outer Clan War, and Total Clan War ]
[ Inner Clan War -> War among clans in which only the races that are similar to the race of the leader of the respective clan can participate ]
\'I see, so since I belong to the race of wolves, then only the wolves can participate in this.\'
[ Outer Clan War-> Members of different races but of the same clan can participate ]
[ Total Clan War-> Any member can participate ]
\'Interesting...\'
Shin was now greatly interested in the clan war. However, he still had one question in his mind.
\'What merit do we gain by participating in the war?\'
He understood that it was some festival or ritual sort of thing that would occur on a grand scale however he had yet to know about the exact benefits.
*Ding*
[ Various rewards and blessings are given in the war by the Celestials and Supreme Celestials ]
[ One can even become an apostle of the said beings ]
\'Rewards...\'
\'This can definitely boost my strength. I must not let this change pass by. I have to definitely gain at least some rewards.\'
\'Also, this is probably the best way to make myself famous.\', Shin smirked as he thought about that.
He was roaming around the forest while thinking about this. He was no longer scared of any beings in the forest. In fact, there was probably no one that could put up a fight in front of him.
Surely he was a high level being in the forest. But he was to maintain caution too. Kaily had mentioned a certain being who was resting in the forest.
Shin didn\'t take that seriously at first, however, when Kaily started to describe the being in detail, his instincts forced him to take precautions!
Kaily had mentioned when they were returning from the kingdom of Loria. She had mentioned many more things regarding the dangers of the forest and its outline, but Shin was confident because he had the system with him.
He could easily see the map of the forest thanks to the system and with that, he would never get lost in the large forest. Unfortunately, the map that the system created could cover only a distance of 500 meters in all directions so this gave him another reason to be careful.
"By the way, system, I feel uneasy in this wolf form..."
"Can you helo me in gaining the human form?", Shin asked.
This question came out of nowhere. He might have been uncomfortable earlier, but at the moment, it was quite normal for him to behave like a wolf.
It had become a habit of his or a part of his to be precise so this question did seem weird.
*Ding*
[ Affirmative ]
"Great!"
"Then tell me the easiest way to become a human!", his eyes sparkled.
[ To gain human form, soul form needs to change ]
[ Host\'s soul form is identified to be that of a human\'s which is an abnormal case ]
[ Therefore, the host needs to feed on some human to gain the characteristics of a human slowly while activating the class Predator ]
"Nani!?"
He was astonished after reading the texts shown by the system.
"Hold on a sec, didn\'t you say that the chances of becoming a human are too low?"
[ Affirmative ]
"Then..."
*Ding*
[ Those chances were calculated before analyzing the host\'s soul form ]
*gulp*
Shin felt a chill along with all his bones. He was suddenly excited for some reason.
"So, all those who desire to become a human, have to eat humans while activating the class predator? But, what\'s the guarantee that all would possess the same class?", he asked.
[ Conditions and requirements differ for different beings ]
[ Though, the base condition remains the same - changing soul form ]
[ By changing the soul form, one may even turn into a different being completely, however it depends on the compatibility and the closeness of a race ]
[ Since dragons and elves are some of the ancient races, from which the human race is believed to have originated, they have a rather high chance of being a human ]
[ A goblin race which is said to have just one link with the humans - disgust - their chances are rather too low or negligible ]
"Wait, so does that mean if I am able to change my soul form into that of a dragon soul, then I will be able to transform into a dragon?"
[ Affirmative ]
[ Note: The host\'s soul form seems to have been mutated but the base is that of a human\'s ]
"Mutated?"
[ Affirmative ]
[ Your soul seems to have five soul forms mixed namely - dragon soul form, demon soul form, elf soul form, human soul form, and wolf soul form ]
[ As long as you eat a set required number of these beings, you will be able to transform freely into these beings without using any mana or life force ]
*gulp*
\'I see...\'
\'Hey...\'
\'Am I really getting goosebumps?\'
His fur was indeed standing because of the news given by the system. It was as if another cheat was revealed to him.
Indeed, this was no less than a cheat. And thus, his fourth cheat was revealed!
"Hmm, well, I have one more question..."
"When you mentioned changing soul form, does that mean I will no longer be able to get back to my wolf form?"
[ Affirmative ]
"Eh?"
"That\'s..."
Shin thought for a few seconds and realized that he wanted to have the wolf form as well. He did not want to change the way he was born completely.
"Actually I want to be able to transform back to a wolf, so is there no way that can happen?"
He suddenly remembered a famous quote - "One needs to lose something in order to gain something." He thought that the system would probably say something that would closely resemble the quote, however, it said something that was not related to the quote at all.
*Ding*
[ The host can acquire other soul forms instead of changing his actual soul form, that way, the host may regain his previous form or change back to any other form as wished ]
"Huh?"
This confused Shin at first but when he thought about it, he realized what the system was trying to say.
\'I have other soul forms mixed with my original soul form, so if I just complete other soul forms while maintaining the original soul form, then I will be able to transform into other beings!\'
[ Affirmative ]
\'Wait, is this a normal occurrence? Can other beings do this?\'
*Ding*
[ A few beings in the world have this capability, but they merely transform into two forms - human form and their original form ]
\'I see, so I\'m a rare case?\'
[ Affirmative ]
\'Yes!\', his eyes started to sparkle yet again.
He could wait no longer and wanted to immediately know the requirements for completing all those soul forms.
\'So, what are the requirements? How many members of those races should I eat?\' - he asked.
He was earlier speaking out loudly probably because he was excited, but now, he was speaking in his mind.
*Ding*
[ Requirement to completely acquire - dragon soul form:
-> Eat 10 S-Rank Dragon (0/10)
or
-> Eat 100 A-Rank Dragon (0/100) ]
"Are you kidding me...?", Shin looked at the flying screen with awkwardness.
"Dragons are one of the rarest beings in the world!"
"They can hardly be found but you expect me to eat that many dragons? And S-Class? What is that, a special grade of some sort?"
He wasn\'t sure about what the system had tasked him to do. He didn\'t even know about the classification grade system so there was no idea that he would know that there were in fact, tons of dragons in humans and other kingdoms.
Category of dragons:
G-Rank (God Rank)-> Dragons having power equivalent to the Gods (Supreme Celestials).
S-Rank -> Dragons having the power to destroy an entire Kingdom
A-Rank-> Dragons having the power to destroy major cities of a Kingdom
B-Rank-> Tamable dragons having the power to destroy small cities of a Kingdom
C-Rank-> Lowest rank of dragons - includes infants of dragons. Easily tamable and can be used in place of horses to draw wagons or used at various other works or raised as pets.
While other races have lower ranks which go up to F-Rank, even the weakest dragons are ranked as C-Rank. Contrastingly, there is a lower grade called D-Rank for dragons. Yes, it is contrasting because the D-Rank is given to their eggs!
To be precise, if their eggs were to be dropped on a D-Rank monster, the said monster is destined to die.
