Chapter 416: The Pack

Deep within the Forbidden Forest, several figures could be seen running at an amazing speed.

Wsshh!!

The figures were all furry, looming large and ominous, with bodies twice the size of normal humans, armed with sharp claws and fangs. They were the Fey wolf forms, and they were dashing through the dense forest in a single formation, twigs and branches snapping violently past them.

All five of the hulking figures had been running around, hunting together in a pack as was common for their species. The leader of the pack, situated at the front of the group, had red and black fur. The other three directly behind him had brown coats, while the one tailing the group was stark white. 

They had been chasing prey around the dense forest, not stopping until their target had been hunted down. They had reached a small clearing when, suddenly, they all heard it. 

"Awooooo!!!" 

The sound of howling reverberated throughout the forest. It was a call for all five of them to immediately stop what they were doing and follow the sound.

They turned back, beginning to sprint yet again. The five wolves finally arrived at a small hut not far from the Feleanion Forest.

Slowly, all five of them transfigured back to their human forms. They took some clothes that were hanging outside of the hut, before opening its creaky wooden door, making their way inside. 

"Brother Emery, has it been an hour already? That was fast."

Emery, who was standing in front of a huge table, turned around to greet them.

"Don't worry, that should be enough. Please take a seat, all of you… Glita, Tyra, Lelith, Lilith and you too, Morgana."

All five of the Fey sisters sat on the chairs lined throughout the table before Emery pulled out a small knife. 

"I am sorry, this will sting a bit."

Emery made cuts on each of their hands, drawing blood from their palms, just a little bit each. He squeezed the blood into small vials and started to mark them.

"How is it brother?! Is it working?!"

"Just a moment, Glita, please be patient."

Emery put a drop of liquid into each of the vials of blood, watching them slowly meld with one another. Afterwards, he used his special apothecary skills. 

[Fragmentation]

The liquid coagulated, floating gently into the air. They were suspended there for a moment, hovering slowly into a singular mass, before suddenly separating into three different colours: a huge red orb, a sparkling white one and one tiny droplet, which had a shimmering crimson hue.

He then used [Analyze] on the red colored liquid; information instantly started to materialize in his head. 

"This one is Glita's."

[Human - Female]

[Battle Power - 20]

[Spirit Force - 22]

[Element Affinity - Ice and Plant]

[Spirit Aptitude B]

This was the information that Emery had received. He was able to glean information regarding any individual using the blood of the subject, filtered with a special liquid thought by Gaious. He managed to use this technique after learning human anatomy from the old magician.

Emery was extremely satisfied with the results. It was such a success to be able to check the stats of any subject, this made things so much more convenient for him. 

"Okay, Glita. In a week you have increased two more spirit forces, very good. Now, next."

Emery moved on to the next orb of filtered blood, still hovering languidly in the air. "This one is Tyra, the eldest." 

[Human - Female]

[Battle power - 21]

[Spiritt force - 22]

[Element Affinity - Earth and Plant]

[Spirit Aptitude C]

"And these two are the twins, Lilith and Leylith."

[Human - Female]

[Battle power - 20]

[Spiritt force - 17]

[Element Affinity - Wind and Plant]

[Spirit Aptitude C]

[Human - Female]

[Battle power - 21]

[Spiritt force - 16]

[Element Affinity - Wind and Plant]

[Spirit Aptitude C]

"Finally, let me see yours, Morgana."

[Human - Female]

[Battle power - 25]

[Spiritt force - 38]

[Element Affinity - Fire, Plant and Darkness]

[Spirit Aptitude A]

"Now you, on the other hand, have had a spirit force increase of 4 within a week. These are great results, Morgana."

Emery's words made all the other sisters glower at her in jealously. The usually cold Morgana couldn't help but let a soft, satisfied smile spread on her face.

"Oh, Brother Emery! You really have broken our sister… What did you do to her?!"

"What?! What did I do?" Emery frowned, slightly confused at the accusation. 

"Our sister Morgana has turned more beautiful with her smile because of you! You must take responsibility!"

Emery smiled awkwardly in response, while Morgana turned around violently, instantly throwing a murderous glance in the direction of Glita, the youngest of the siblings. 

"Haha, I don't think I understand what you mean. She's always been beautiful since I've known her." 

Upon saying this, Emery suddenly realized Morgana was blushing, directly avoiding eye contact with him, as her gaze was glued on the floor. He quickly added, "All of you are beautiful… Haha."

The situation in the hut suddenly turned rowdy, the sisters talking excitedly amongst themselves, all while teasing Morgana and playfully poking at her cheeks. They went on like this for a bit until Tyra finally cut in.

"We do somehow feel stronger though... I feel like I am closer and more aware of the things around me."

Glita added, "Yes, Brother. I could've sworn that I was able to talk to a flower yesterday."

"..."

Emery simply stared at her, not sure that was possible...

He took out another 5 vials that were sparkling gold in color and gave one to each of them.

"Okay, this is for another week. We can check again next week."

"Yes Brother Emery," all of them said in unison, save for Morgana, who stayed back in the room as the rest of them left. 

"You too, Morgana. I will be here for a while, there are still many things I have to check." Emery's voice was rather curt and, at this, Morgana nodded and walked out of the hut, trailing silently after her sisters. 

With the sisters now gone, Emery then took out two vials and placed them side by side on the table. One was a golden vial similar to the ones he just gave to the girls, the other was a crimson vial he had been collecting all these weeks.

Emery checked all the other ingredients ready on the table and said.

"It's finally time to try making it."
