Chapter 316 Kira And Aella's Reunion (2)
Upon seeing Kira transform into his original form, Aella unknowingly started walking toward him.
"F-"
"Father...?", the word came right out of her mouth as she continued to walk forward.
Kira's ears felt tingly when he heard her call him that.
Kira had many kids. All of them were males and just one was female - Aella.
All except Aella had already died in the fire and were sometimes hunted by other beasts, so, seeing at least one of his blood, calling out to him, made him somewhat teary.
He could barely say anything and just kept quiet.
Aella then rushed forward as her emotions gushes out. She jumped at Kira and almost tackled him down.
She was big right now and not a pup, yet, she failed to push Kira as he stood mightly.
Nevertheless, she then started rubbing her fur against his and then licked his ears a bit saying, "Father! You are alive!"
Shin could see Aella wagging her tail in excitement. In fact, she couldn't understand the feeling that engulfed her.
"Aella…", Kira looked at her as he licked.
Both of them showed love to each other for some time as they continued to chat. Aella explained how she was so sad that she had lost both of her parents but then found Siara and now Kira. She couldn't express her joy.
Kira kept nodding.
"You know father, I was scared…"
"I was really terrified when you and mommy had vanished…"
"If not for his highness Shin, I wouldn't have been able to live on after that…", tears drenched her face.
Kira then murmured, "I know, and I am grateful for that."
"You know Aella, this world is unfair."
"No matter how much we struggle, we won't win unless we are strong."
"I too, at that time, thought that I had grown insanely strong. I thought I was strong enough to rule the entire forest and no one could stand against me…"
"But I was wrong…", Kira's voice wavered a bit as it started to rain.
"So you know what Aella, one must never stop growing."
"Unless you have really reached your maximum potential, you cannot stop.", Kira was urging Aella to get stronger, either it is directly or indirectly.
Shin was able to conclude a few things as he heard Kira's words.
'Is he trying to say that the world is in peril? So, do we have to be strong enough to withstand the mass destruction that is going to happen?', Shin asked himself, expecting no answer whatsoever.
Kira then ended his conversation with Aella by saying, "And without a doubt, master Shin is way stronger than any beasts that I have seen so far. It's best to follow him."
After this, he walked forward towards Shin, leaving Aella at the same place.
He then said, "Master, as I mentioned earlier, I have some important news to convey to you."
"It is about your name and your origins…"
Since a little time had passed and Aella and Kira talked a bit, Shin was now ready to hear him out.
"Yes?", he waited for Kira to explain.
Kira cast a barrier around them. The barrier was semi-transparent and almost blackish in color. It pushed Aella out.
He wanted to make sure that only he and Shin could remain inside.
'Well, he could have just told me using telepathy, but whatever…', Shin did think about it, but then tossed it aside and braced himself to hear what Kira had to offer.
"Master, do you know about your father…?"
"Father…?"
"You mean…"
As Shin tried to recall the name, the system flashed it right before his eyes.
[Arnolius.]
"Arnolius right?", Shin asked.
Kira nodded his head and continued.
"Yes, master. The great white wolf, Arnolius, was supposedly your father."
"But do you know about his background?", he further asked.
"Uh, is it important?", Shin asked.
"Of course it is!"
"I assume you don't know so let me tell you…"
"Master Arnolius, also referred to as the Great White Wolf, is from the Heavenly Wolf family.", Kira said as he stood straight.
It was as if he was showing respect. He even emphasized and deepened his voice when he mentioned 'heavenly wolf family'.
"Heavenly wolf family?", Shin asked, hearing the name for the first time.
Kira nodded his head and started explaining by giving an example.
"Master, any family or clan that has the word 'heavenly' as a prefix is protected or blessed by a Supreme Celestial.", Kira said.
And the moment he uttered those words, Shin's mind blew.
It was as if he was going to be introduced to something new.
Until now, he had been dealing with Celestials, apparently who seemed somewhat reachable to him. But now, Kira has mentioned Supreme Celestials who seemed equivalent to those Gods that created the world!
"Just like the Heavenly Monkey Clan-"
Kira then told about the Heavenly Monkey Clan that had the prefix 'Heavenly' as their leader and was granted blessing and protection from the Supreme Celestial Sun Wukong, the monkey king!
Shin was getting invested in the topic as it kept getting interested as time passed.
Although the Heavenly Monkey Clan's leader, Don Wukong was blessed by a supreme celestial, the benefit was shared among all the individuals who joined the clan.
They were a lot stronger than the average monkeys and would grow stronger or level up at a much faster rate. Unfortunately, other than Don Wukong, no one survived.
While this might seem to be some sort of offense since the clan that a supreme celestial was supporting got wiped out, the Monkey King was just looking for fun and never took these things seriously.
Though, there might have been some serious dangers that the Fang Clan had to face if Don Wukong had been killed.
Kira then explained many more things about the Supreme Celestials and Celestials.
There are many Supreme Celestials, but their numbers are way low when compared to Celestials.
How can one become a celestial? When one breaks through the level 100 and finishes his final evolution and then decides to follow a particular Supreme Celestial - this is how they do it.
"I see…"
"…"
