Novel Full Chapter 259 - Change
Chapter 259: Change
After the blue light disappeared, the breakthrough Aakesh was going through ended.
Aakesh didn't feel any change in his body even though he had gained five levels. He still didn't doubt it as he could feel the newfound power due to the breakthrough.
Aakesh then called the status in his mind to check his gained attributes.
The next moment, a blue screen with golden fonts appeared in front of him, containing all his details.

Aakesh nodded after reading his status screen.
Due to the class, Watcher, he had gained 50 units in both strength and agility while 500 units in energy and HP.
In addition, Aakesh noticed that his energy was not full. He had spent it while attempting to pick up the golden key. He didn't worry since it was only seven units and would gain back in his journey.
Seeing there was no problem with it, he waved his hands, and the status screen dispersed into light particles.
He then called out his quest screen to look at it for the last time.
The next moment, a new blue screen containing the details of the quest appeared in front of him.
[Brave Adventurer, you have already saved the town of Wolfden once, but it seems it needs your service again!
You killed so many wolves that it would take at least five years for the silver wolves to create their horde again, and the wolf king also knew this. But it seems the wolf king had found a way to build a powerful race of silver wolves without having the ability to manipulate energy.
There is a high-level bloodline currently roaming in the jungle, and the wolf king has decided to take that creature's help to create super wolves.
Adventurer, you need to prevent this from happening by either killing the high-level bloodline owner and stopping the wolf king from creating super wolves, or by killing the wolf king, or by finding a way to stop it. Otherwise, the town of Wolfden will lose innocent civilians.
Your reward would depend on the result of the mission. May you be successful!]
"Let's see, what reward would I get?" Aakesh muttered after looking at the quest screen. His reward for the quest depended upon the result, so he thought about it.
As for failing the quest, Aakesh didn't worry. Even when he was Level 32, he was confident enough to take on the wolf king, let alone now when he had reached Level 37. Now, he was confident enough to kill the wolf king in less than three strikes.
He then waved his hands, and the quest screen disappeared, but soon a new blue window appeared in front of him as if it also knew Aakesh was ready to complete the quest.
It was a map of the forest, and a dark red marker marked the location of the wolf king.
The wolf king was fifty-six yojanas(1 yojana= 8 miles) away from where Aakesh currently was. The town was nearer than the wolf king's location. It was only around thirty yojanas.
Since Aakesh had closed the store late than usual today, he also had less time to stay in Panagea. He already had two things to do, so he didn't wait and rushed in the direction of the wolf king.
He decided against using any movement skill because it would consume energy, and Aakesh didn't want to fall into a situation where he wouldn't have enough energy to use skills.
The distance was more than four hundred miles, so even after Aakesh had reached Level 37 and was running at full speed, it took him around one hour and three minutes to cover that distance.
Aakesh's energy has also been filled since he recovered 100 units of energy every hour. He had only lost around thirty-forty units due to the key and running for so long, so the time of journey was enough for him to recover it.
When Aakesh was twenty miles away from the location of the wolf king on the map, he stopped.
He then activated the skill, Universal-Eye, and the next moment, a real-time 3D virtual projection of 8 yojanas radius around him appeared in front of him.
Since Aakesh had now grown to Level 37, he could select beings up to Level 47, and only creatures having high levels above that would be greyed out.
"Three!" Aakesh exclaimed in surprise, seeing the virtual projection in front of him.
There were three beings who were greyed out in the area. One of them was the wolf king since he was Level 50, but Aakesh never expected the wolf king to have two other beings who would be more than Level 45, let alone Level 47.
It wasn't the only issue. Aakesh counted the number of wolves in the projection radius and found the number in several tens of thousands. To be exact, the number of wolves, including the wolf king in the radius of the projection, was 84,372.
Since wolves were social animals and rarely lived an isolated life, Aakesh knew that he would fight not only the wolf king but also its underlings and descendants whenever he faced the wolf king. But, even in his wildest dream, Aakesh thought the number to be in the few thousands, but here there were more than fifty thousand wolves.
Aakesh was still confident of rescuing Lily and killing the wolf king, but his works had just gotten way bigger than he had expected.
He also needed to make plans now since sometimes quantity helps overwhelm the quality, and Aakesh didn't want that to happen.
If tens of thousands of wolves surrounded him, and the wolf king succeeded in attacking him, he would fall into a terrible situation and may even lose the quest.
Since the projections didn't show the level of the wolves, Aakesh assumed every wolf to be Level 37, equivalent to him. He then began making plans.
The last thing he worried about was the war of attrition, so he also considered it as a countermeasure if he were to somehow fall into a terrible situation.
After Aakesh had made his plans, he didn't wait and proceeded in the direction of the first group he wanted to hunt.
