"I think I can revive your family.", Shin said.
"…"
"Ha!?", Blanca was totally surprised by this unexpected piece of news. He was steadying his heart so that he could forget his loved ones who were no longer in this world, but after hearing what Shin said, Blanca had no choice but to be astonished and confused.
"Wha-"
"What are you even saying?", Blanca asked.
"Haha."
"You heard it right. I think, I might be able to revive them.", Shin repeated himself.
He did think about using the phoenix blood, however, the problem was, too much time had passed.
If you recall the information regarding the phoenix blood, it could only be used in under two minutes.
[ Phoenix Blood ]
[ -> It is believed that a phoenix has to power to rise from the ashes after the death of its physical body and is considered immortal ]
[ -> Its blood is considered to have the power to bring the dead back to life ]
[ -> 1 drop and bring 1 being back to life if the being is made to drink the blood within 00:00:02:00 ( 2 minutes ) after death ]
Therefore, the only feasible way was to use necromancy and let the undead level up. Though, he wasn't sure if they would be accompanying him throughout the journey.
'Hey system, what happens to the undead that arises from necromancy.', Shin asked.
*Ding*
[ The undead may accompany the host along the journey or they may vanish into darkness and be re-spawned again later ]
[ The undead would automatically get tagged so the host can summon their souls from the depth of darkness ]
The answer was quite useful and was exactly what Shin wanted to hear.
He immediately said to Blanca, "If I use necromancy on them, then there would be a chance to revive them."
However, Blanca got the wrong meaning, he thought that by reviving, Shin meant turning them to undead since he mentioned the skill Necromancy.
"No! It's fine. It would be better if they rest in peace than turn into undead and always roam here…", Blanca said.
Shin immediately understood that Blanca had misunderstood something. He then, painstakingly, explained everything regarding his skill necromancy and why he said that they could be revived.
Of course, he had seen the info from the system as well and had a better understanding of the skill right now.
After explaining everything, Blanca finally understood. Tears drenched his face immediately right after which, he bowed in front of Shin.
"Please become my master…"
'Huh? Wait a second…'
'Right after saying this much, he is asking to become my subordinate…?'
Shin was surprised himself. He knew that Blanca would think about thanking Shin and would be forever grateful to him, but he never thought that he would directly ask Shin to become his master.
'Did the system predict this to happen…?', Shin asked himself.
'No…'
'To be precise, the system knew that this would happen…', Shin's eyes widened.
He then started to think more on this matter when another thought came to his mind, 'Did the system manipulate me to think about the skill necromancy at the right time so that Blanca would readily become my subordinate…?'
*gulp*
The thoughts that bombarded his mind were too frightening!
'For now, I think it is better to forget those things…', Shin thought.
Right after that, he looked at Blanca who had been pinned to the ground by himself.
"Fine, I will be your master…"
After everything was said and done, Shin couldn't back off.
*Ding*
[ You have used the skill Necromancy ]
He used the skill on the left bones. Yes, their souls were pulled out from the Darkness right after which, they took the form of young tigers.
They were now tagged so after undoing the necromancy, he could summon them anytime and anywhere he wanted.
He then explained his situation to Blanca about how he had to get going. He couldn't stay in the same place.
Blanca understood what Shin meant. He didn't ask for anything else and bid him farewell. He entrusted his family with Shin. Since they had to level up, they had to fight all sorts of beasts and other things.
The shadow wolves got inside Shin's shadow. Right after that, he started running down the mountain. Of course, for now, he had forgotten about one of the most important things – the three-star stones that he received from Blanca.
Why was Blanca having them? And why did the system demand them?
While not looking at the info and throwing them inside his inventory, he just casually started running as if there was nothing to worry about them.
But little did he know what storm those three small stones would cause in a few months or years in the future.
'It's definitely a frightening system...'
In any case, that was not something that he could decide anyway. The system knew him better than he knew himself. Therefore, he left everything on the system and just watched it from the sidelines – at least, he thought that way, but he was a major part of the system's plot.
Right after descending the mountain, he thought that it would take him a lot of time before he could rejoin. Also, it was night time and he was feeling a bit sleepy.
He suddenly ascended the mountain and bit and slept there. Since he was the ruler of the mountain right now, no one could harm him. Of course, everyone's moments were right in front of his eyes.
Also, he asked the shadow wolves to protect him for some time. He wouldn't sleep for long and would wake up early in the morning to continue running.
And the wolves did exactly as they were asked. So, in the end, Shin reserved his strength for now so that he could wake up early and then rejoin his group as soon as possible.
The night was cold, but not unbearable. It was pleasant in some way.
When Shin woke up in the morning, he found the three shadow wolves in deep sleep beside him.
*yawns*
"…"
'And they were supposed to protect me…'
