"Ah, I freed you from your curse, but not completely."

"Probably this is a side-effect of that," Shin said.

He wasn't saying the truth and had no intention of saying it, since he did it deliberately.

Of course, he didn't exactly want Raka to accompany him but wanted his help with a few things since the Clan Wars was a week away.

And since he wanted to experiment, he thought that Raka would be a perfect subject for that.

Nevertheless, he never expected the experiment to succeed. Whatever, Raka had now been turned into a wolf too.

Shin glanced at his stats finally, only to find it quite simple. It looked a lot similar to Terran, but the only difference was that this time, instead of a dragon, a snake had transformed – Well, both of them are reptiles anyway.

There were all the skills of the snake Raka, after 40% of the curse was dispelled.

While most of the skills were level 4, some were level 3. Level 2 and level 1 skills were also present. This meant that, if all the curses had been lifted, then all level 4 skills would have been level 10.

Shin was a bit surprised by the skills as well. He thought that the serpent would have many more skills, but there were only a few. Despite living longer than Terran, the serpent had fewer skills. This was something Shin couldn't understand.

'Hmm…'

'Could it be…?'

'Are some skills locked because the curse is not fully lifted?', Shin asked himself.

It wasn't confirmed, but Shin had had the feeling that whatever he thought was right.

But he wasn't going to think too much about that because, right now, the serpent was a bit baffled. He had to explain the situation properly to him and only then would the snake understand Shin's worth.

"So, when I dispelled Terran's curse, he too turned into a wolf.", Shin said.

"Huh?", the snake was surprised by what Shin said.

He had yet to know who Terran was, but with the way Shin spoke, he instantly understood that Terran was indeed the same Earth-Dragon. Shin was not babbling some lie or fabricating anything.

''Does this mean that I will be stuck in this form forever?'', the serpent wanted to know.

"No."

"I think, as soon as I erase the entire curse, you will be freed from that body.", Shin nodded his head as he said, as if he had full confidence in what he was saying.

However, in reality, he had no idea if what he said was true. He didn't know if the serpent could indeed regain its previous form, but he did hope for such a thing to happen.

He could again think of this as an experiment and dispel Raka's entire curse. However, he had already been told that his skill was not capable of that.

Also, he still didn't completely trust Raka and thus kept quiet about it despite being curious.

"In any case, I have helped you know. You can roam wherever you like, but don't forget to help me three times when I'm in need.", Shin said.

Raka kept quiet for a few seconds. He was still new to the body and was experiencing weird feelings.

He could hear his heartbeat and could smell around a wide range. Moreover, his instincts seemed to have become even sharper, which was a good thing.

Also, his body was now a little less flexible but capable of forming a wide range of movements. And thanks to the fur covering his body, he could feel warm.

He was a cold-blooded beast earlier, because of which his body's temperature would change too easily. But now that he had obtained the body of a mammal, that difficulty was resolved.

'This body…'

'It is not too comfortable, but it sure is warm.', he said to himself.

He then looked at Shin and said, "I am sorry to ask this but, I think you should take responsibility for screwing up."

"Huh?", Shin was surprised at what Raka started saying all of a sudden.

"Yes, you never told me that I would be trapped inside a wolf's body."

"Since I am not familiar with this body, I want you to protect me for a few days", he said.

"…", Shin didn't reply and just stared at him when he mentioned this. He was thinking about where it was worthwhile to agree.

"But…"

"No wait, a few days won't suffice."

"I want you to protect me until I have regained my body. Since my body has become much smaller and weaker, I might end up being hunted by many larger bastards.", Raka said.

"…"

Shin stared for a while and then said, "I cannot do that."

"I do not protect strangers", he said.

Well, he was trying to get some benefit actually and wasn't trying to protect him. He expected Raka to bribe or do something similar, but to his surprise, Raka said, "Is that so?"

"Then, from today onwards, I declare myself as your subordinate."

"Now, as a superior, you have to protect me", Raka said.

"…"

'There we go, we are back at the same topic.', Shin frowned as he heard what Raka said.

'Why is he so eager to become my subordinate?', Shin made a weird expression while thinking about it.
