Chapter 149 'Punishment”

Shaman, Clara, Elysia and Wolfy all froze from hearing the words punishment.

"U-uhh, but didn't you say we were allowed to burn down the mansion." Shaman, being brave enough to speak up, hoped that Freja was only joking.

"Oh yes, but I changed my mind." A sadistic grin appeared on Freja's face.

"I-, okay." Shaman bit her lip and looked towards the ground, waiting for the verdict.

"Now I shall lock you up in your rooms for a week as punishment."

"Huh?" The girls and Wolfy looked at Freja, perplexed by what she just said.

"Fufu~ did you really think I would punish you for putting on such a magnificent show? Go on and enjoy your little break, the next mission will be a lot longer." Freja's cold gaze disappeared as she let out a giggle.

Elysia fell to her knees out of breath as she was terrified of what was going to happen. Clara put her hand to her chest and let out a sigh of relief. Wolfy rolled over onto his side, thinking that the end of them was just around the corner. Shaman took a deep breath while looking up at the roof and exhaled, a little annoyed but also glad.

"Tomorrow we will deal with Wolfy, so make sure you are rested." Freja got up from her throne, lifting Kiruya in her arms. Freja then left through a blood portal leaving the girls and Wolfy.

Wolfy had poked his head up hearing what Freja said and his tail started to wag.

"Looks like you will be getting your human form tomorrow Wolfy." Shaman went up to Wolfy and gave him some head pats.

"Finally, I can use that scythe." Wolfy had not forgotten the weapon they received from the skeleton knight and was eagerly waiting for the day to use it.

"Oh! the demon weapon we got, I forgot we had it." Shaman opened up her inventory, spotting the demon scythe as well as the skill level up and select.

"Elysia and Clara, we forgot to use the skill rewards we got from clearing that dungeon." Shaman got slightly annoyed for not remembering, as it would have been nice to have some extra skills.

"Hmm, I think we should save them though." Clara didn't think it was worth wasting what was essentially a free pass to a higher level skill.

"How come?" Elysia was eager to use them right away and was about to reach for her system menu.

"Well think about it, if we reach max level with a skill, what happens when you use the skill level up on it?" Clara was not sure if there was even a max, but it would only get harder and harder to level so saving them could be very useful in the future.

[It wont work] Reia quickly interjected crumbling Clara's point.

"Damn it, either way I think we should save the skill level ups. At least so we can level up our skills when it starts taking too long to level them up."

"Damn can't argue against that." Elysia who was about to use the skill level up reluctantly closed her system knowing it would be better to save.

"Hmm now that you mention it, it would probably be a good idea. What about the skill select then?" Shaman liked Clara's idea as levelling up a skill is still rather easy at the moment.

"Well I'm not sure about that, I haven't used it so I don't know how it works." Clara could tell what a skill level up is, but she was unsure what it meant by skill select.

"You can choose any skill you want as long as the skill is not above your tier. It gives you a long list of skills so it's rather hard to choose."

"If that is the case, why not use it as a way to get more skills for the elements we already have. What I mean by this is that if you look at the name and description, you could replicate the skill on your own." Clara was a little shocked they had not thought about it before.

"Ah, you make a very good point, but one thing I noticed though, is my ice transformed into something that allowed me to do whatever I want. If I could do that with all my elements then I would have no need for a bunch of skills and my imagination would be the limit." Shaman looked at her skill [Ice free form] that pretty much allowed her to create anything, with the only limit being her imagination and mana pool.

"I still think it's worth a shot looking through, to give you inspiration." Clara figured there would be skills on the list that would help facilitate more ideas.

"I guess so, but right now I just really want some sleep, it's morning and I hear the bed calling." Shaman liked Clara's idea. However, Shaman and everyone else were exhausted from killing all night.

"You can say that again, my entire body is sore." Elysia got up from the floor and then pretended to stumble into Shaman.

Shaman caught Elysia by holding her shoulders to make sure both of them did not go falling to the ground. After getting caught, Elysia darted behind Shaman, giving her a hug from behind.

"Aha fair enough, Well goodnight." Clara felt tired as well and so she took the initiative to leave first. Wolfy had also followed along, since he was suspicious of what Shaman and Elysia would do tonight.

'Better be safe and go with Clara tonight.' Wolfy, using Clara as a scapegoat to escape the potential nightly activities, actually started to grow closer to Clara.

Clara did not mind this as he was still a wolf, but things would change once he got his human form.

'It's going to be hard to see him as a normal wolf once he becomes half human.' This thought went through Clara's mind, who started feeling a little uncomfortable by this fact.

'At least he will get his own room, but I don't know if he will be able to manage on his own.' Clara was worried that Wolfy's habits will no longer be acceptable once he has his human form which will take him a while to adjust..

Clara shook her head, banishing those thoughts. After all, by the sound of it, Wolfy would be able to switch between the different forms easily.

Wolfy and Clara both left the throne room heading to Clara's room.

"Sooo~ how about tonight." Elysia cut to the chase clearly wanting her night.

"I wish Elysia but honestly it's hard enough to even walk right now, my legs feel like they could fall off after all that running." Shaman was too exhausted to do anything intense and would rather be at full energy so it would be more enjoyable for Elysia.

"I don't blame you, but if you ever change your mind don't be afraid to jump on me hehe~" Elysia was willing to wait since she was exhausted as well.

"We can still snuggle though." Shaman grabbed a hold of Elysia's forearm while looking up at her face.

"Let's get going then." Elysia grabbed Shaman's hand and then started to walk towards their room.

**

Afternoon came with a knock on the door of both Shaman and Clara's room, waking them up.

"Shaman, it's past noon and Freja wants to see you." What sounded like a maid called them, requesting them to come out.

Shaman opened her eyes, still tired and wanting to go back to sleep, yet she forced herself to get up. Elysia still clung onto Shaman's arm, refusing to let go or wake up.

"Yep, I'm awake, I will go see her in a moment." Shaman rubbed her eyes, trying to think why Freja wanted her.

Then it hit her that this was the day that Wolfy was going to get his human form.

"Oh shit, that is today." Realising that they should probably hurry, she poked Elysia in her side to wake her up.

"Kyaa!!" Elysia jumped from the sudden poke in her ribs.

"Sweet, now that you are awake, we have a Wolfy human form to go see." Shaman got straight to the point while getting out of bed.

However, as she got out of the bed, she stumbled on her legs which were not fully recovered and so she fell to the ground.

"HA! Karma." Elysia giggled as Shaman was instantly paid back for the rude awakening she just recieved.

"Ow! I was not expecting my legs to still be so sore." Shaman pulled herself up from the floor and slowly stood up.

"Okay, it is not as bad as I thought." Shaman, still able to walk, did not bother to change out of her white t-shirt and black shorts.

Shaman went to the door and turned around waiting for Elysia to get up. Elysia wore a red t-shirt with a black skull on it and a pair of blank panties which were barely hidden by the red shirt.

"Hurry! I don't want to miss this, my son is growing up." Shaman was excited for Wolfy and could not wait to see how handsome her son was going to look like.

"Yes, yes I'm getting out of bed." Getting out of bed, Elysia went and put on her stockings but didn't bother putting on anything else.

When Elysia was close enough to the door, Shaman grabbed Elysia's hand and rushed out of the room to go get Wolfy.
