He had two solid reasons for doing this.

One – He was the ruler of the Swamps due to which he could actually see and sense every being there.

Due to that, he came to know that Aella wasn't in that region. Of course, that was why he was ready to leave. This was the main reason which let him conclude that Aella wasn't here.

Yes, even his sense of smell was helpful in smelling. When he tried to detect her scent, he couldn't get any.

Neither humans nor Aella, no one's scent was present there.

Second – He came to know that Balton was lying.

Since such a strong dragon was present here, trapped for long and attacking whoever approached it, no one in their sane minds would even dare to approach this place.

So why would someone like Balton enter this place?

Shin found it ridiculous but his anger for Balton increased. The next time they meet, Balton wouldn't come out alive.

Shin and the dragon soon entered the forest of Thuren.

He wanted to find something edible for the dragon.

'Ding'

[ You have hunted a mega-centipede ]

[ You have gained 30 exp ]

'Ding'

[ You have hunted a giant mantis]

[ You have gained 20 exp ]

Shin hunted two beasts soon after entering the forest which both of them were going to eat. That was because yet another day had passed and Shin hadn't eaten anything properly.

The dragon was hungry too so it started to eat whatever Shin caught. As for him, he couldn't hunt anything because it was quite uncomfortable for him.

'Even a dragon cannot adapt so easily to a new body…', Shin murmured to himself.

Well, on one hand, there was the great dragon that could hardly behave like a wolf after getting transformed and on the other hand, there was Shin, who could easily run as a wolf-pup right after reincarnating even when the pup was just 6-7 days old.

"…"

What a weird world it was – it seemed as if Shin was being favored by it.

Whatever, the dragon started to eat the beasts that were hunt by Shin. Of course, Shin too enjoyed them.

Within a few minutes, everything was over and the dragon's hunger was also satisfied, for now that is.

Its hunger had reduced just because its size and systems had been changed. Trust me, if it had retained its large size, then it would have ended up devouring the entire forest!

Both of them sat under a tree to pass the noon.

The dragon took the chance to ask about Shin.

"For your size…", he started all of a sudden.

"Yes…?", while the dragon talked like the boss, Shin acted politely, probably due to his habit.

"You are just a white wolf…"

"But why do you possess such strength?"

Now, this was something that even the Elf Celestial Elvion wanted to ask.

Indeed, Shin was a white wolf, however, he was no ordinary wolf.

He was a reincarnate and on top of that, he had the help of a system that wasn't present with any other white wolf.

'I guess it's true…'

'Color of a wolf is the deciding factor.', he said to himself.

He recalled the clan that was led by Kira. While everyone had white fur, Kira was the only one to have black fur.

This meant that Kira was completely different from them.

He was probably not even a wolf of their clan. Instead, he was someone from the outside who grew up within the white wolf clan and became the leader.

This essentially meant that a white wolf wouldn't be able to become a leader of any sort!

They would always be discriminated against by everyone and everything – including nature!

He then thought about asking about it to the dragon.

"Why do you think that a white wolf is weak?", Shin asked.

He thought that this hierarchy or prejudice had no proof or was something that someone had made on a whim.

But no, there was a deep meaning to that!

"Don't you already know?", the dragon asked.

The dragon probably thought that Shin knew the actual reason. But in reality, he had no idea about it.

"The use of attributes, magic, and skills are all basically decided by the color of the being."

"Consider me as an example…"

"I'm brown color due to which the magic and skills that I can mainly use is Earth-type…"

Shin was about to raise an objection to that before which the dragon stated that himself.

"However that doesn't mean that I can't use or learn other skills."

"I have the wind type skill Tornado despite being brown colored and earth type…"

"So this means that color is just a basic reference."

"I see…", Shin understood now what the dragon wanted to say.

"This is the same with the wolves too."

"The colored wolves can use the respective skills however a white-colored wolf cannot use any skills associated with an attribute.", was what the dragon said and concluded.

"Huh…?"

When Shin heard that, his mind was filled with tons of questions.

'Wasn't Siara a wind type?'

'What about Aella?'

'She too evolved into a wind type after naming?', Shin murmured.

The dragon didn't hear what he said because he was talking in a low voice to himself.

"Hmm…"

"So, does that mean the colored beast can have the names corresponding to their color and attribute?", Shin asked.

The dragon shook his head and said, "No, the beasts can be named whatever they want…"

"But, they would only gain benefits if their names were to be associated with their attributes…", the dragon replied.

'I see…'

'So if Kira was named as Aella in the beginning, then he wouldn't have become so strong as back then…'

'Since the name Kira was associated with darkness, it boosted his strength.', Shin nodded his head after understanding that,

And just when he thought that he had understood everything, suddenly a thought struck his mind.

"Wait a second…"

"Doesn't this mean…"

"The white wolves, who aren't associated with any attributes…"

"Can gain the attributes after getting the name?"

"…"

And with this, he was successful in getting the dragon's attention.

"…"
