[It is possible to transfer stockpiled/accumulated Exp but stats cannot be transferred.]

Shin saw the text flash in front of his eyes.

It was quite disappointing to see this. If it had been possible, then his problem would have been solved easily.

Now he had to think of something else, something deceptive that could save him and everyone present here.

'Hmm…'

'If I use my skills, I think I can run away from this place and reach the village within a day…'

'Or even less!'

'But…'

Just when Shin was about to give up and think of a different solution, he recalled something.

He recalled the fight he had with Alira - the tiger cub.

Something was going to click together. It was as if he was close to a solution.

'Copy and Steal…'

'With this, I can give skills to the undead.'

'But how do I change their appearance…?'

"…"

'Transformation?'

'Do I give them the transformation skill as well by using steal and copy?', Shin asked himself.

However, he was stuck in a constant loop of thoughts.

The fact that by using the skill Steal, he can only get an ability or skill from someone else. He can't pass it on to others. It's similar to deleting from someone else's profile.

With copy, the target would still have the skill but he too would get a copy of it.

Now the question was, how was he supposed to give his skills to someone else?

'Steal from me?'

He thought about using the skill Steal on himself, however, by deleting his own skill, he would just weaken himself. And even if he did, whom will he give that skill to? How will he give it to others? That was still the major question!

A step away, he was indeed a step away from finding the perfect solution for this problem.

As everyone continued to talk in the room with Aella, Shin continued to break his head by pondering about the set of desired skills.

'System, can you provide a solution? Is there no way for me to transfer a skill to others after copying?', Shin asked the system.

*Ding*

[No method found as of yet.]

Shin was tired of asking and getting the same negative reply.

Well, he couldn't even get mad at the system as it was helping him in knowing the truth.

Shin ultimately gave up on trying to transfer skills. What he did now was think about escaping.

He then told everyone about his plan.

He explained that the mechanism would be the same as the one that he used while crossing the river. He would store everyone in a small space and escape on his own.

When he would arrive at a safe place, he would let everyone out.

But then, he also explained how this would attract attention if everyone suddenly went missing.

"If only we could prepare some fakes…", he murmured.

When Deoras heard this, his face brightened up.

He walked a bit forward and said, "Your Highness, I have a solution."

Shin raised his head and stared at Deoras, who in turn looked at Shin.

He then slightly looked at the shadow wolf general standing behind him and then looked back at Shin.

"Why don't you use the ability of our kind, Shadow Creation?", Deoras asked.

"Shadow Creation?"

It was as if he had heard this skill for the first time, but when Deoras mentioned this, Shin finally recalled Deoras mentioning this long back.

This had happened a month or two after Deoras had met Shin.

*huff huff*

"Looks like we are safe for now, Deoras."

"That was a huge gamble.", Shin, in his weakened small form, looked at the gigantic Deoras beside him.

"I didn't know that this place was guarded by a race of spiders…", Deoras said as he continued to pant.

"M-master… they-", Aella slowly moved her paws and touched Shin's fur.

She then pointed her paw towards the front, indicating a swarm of spiders that stared at the three of them.

"Damn!", Shin raised his voice, seconds after which all the spiders jumped towards them.

Shin said, "Deoras, didn't you say had a summoning skill that could call many other wolves from nearby areas?"

"Can you call them? Because I think we really need their help."

Shin, Aella, and Deoras were surrounded by spiders. Some were attacking them by throwing their sticky threads, poisonous threads, and toxins but the trio was doing an exceptional job of dodging all the attacks.

Needless to say, Shin was even attacking some and having a feast.

While the spiders did spit out venom, they themselves weren't poisonous. So they only served as food for them.

But in the end, Shin and the rest of them found themselves in trouble as they were greatly outnumbered.

Deoras replied to Shin's question, "I don't have any summoning skill…"

"But there is indeed a way to increase our numbers."

After saying this, Deoras used his skill Shadow Creation, which created many identical Deoras'.

All the shadow wolves created were basically a weaker version of Deoras. They didn't even have a single skill. Well, they were lifeless, what else would you expect?

However, they did a good job of slowing down the spiders.

Shin, Deoras, and Aella came victorious in the end as they squashed, crunched, and filled their bellies with many of them. This was all thanks to the Shadow Creation skill.

Shin wanted to copy this skill, but unfortunately, he couldn't because of a certain condition that, or rather, penalty - the story regarding this, was for a later time.

Shin recalled the moment when Deoras had demonstrated this skill. He had later once again explained about it, hinting that even his men, all the shadow wolves could perform it. However, it was quite far back and Shin had tossed the idea out as it didn't feel much important at the moment.

Only now was he reminded about it and realized that he could create a perfect deception with the help of this!
