Alchemist World
Rain walks toward the sound of the wolf pack's howl and starts eating jerky till his stomach is full. He directs the energy transformed by the jerky towards his injured heel which was injured the same as his wrists by struggling against ropes tied him in place by the slavers.
Rain hears the sound of the wolf pack's howl increase as he walks toward them and as injuries of his heel heal, the difficulty of walking also lessens. The pain does not affect he suffered greater pain before.
Rain after some time sees the wolf pack they are feasting on a black mountain goat. Black mountain goats are similar to goats on Earth except they are the size of a cow and have six horns sticking out of their head.
From a distance, he counts 23 wolves in the wolf pack with five children. So if he can influence the pack then he will have 18 wolves to fight against the slaver's camp.
He does not know the wolf pack can defeat the slavers but he does not need the wolf pack to defeat the slavers. Their requirement is to attract the attention so that he sneaks inside to rescue his friends.
But now how to influence with so they will listen to his orders.
Rain thought if he could make them submissive to him. Using the power of his soul is to send his thoughts directly to their mind. So with the power of the soul one can communicate even if they speak the same language.
Rain thought they were ferocious wolves but still, they were mortal wolves, not extraordinary beasts. So if he can use illusion make them afraid and submissive to him.
Now came what illusion would make the wolves afraid of facing him and thought of the super healing lizard he understood how the body of the super healing lizard.
Rain then cast an illusion of a super healing lizard upon himself so anyone watching him instead of him would find a large 7-meter jade-colored lizard in his place with ferocious momentum and an aura that felt extraordinary.
Rain could take a step toward the wolves, he felt an indifferent gaze upon him. Rain feels every inch of himself is being scanned by the gaze and every secret of himself will be discovered. Rain worried under the gaze that his secret of not being from this world would be discovered.
Rain frantically searches to find where the gaze is coming from, but he feels the gaze is coming from all directions as if the world is watching him, the grass, the trees, the wind, and even the sky are observing him but the gaze suddenly disappears as if all along it was an illusion.
But Rain knows it is not an illusion of his, as he feels something entering his soul space, and before he can do anything the thing directly goes to the crown he formed inside his soul space.
And Rain the crown becomes more solid from a phantom crown. Rain checks the crown to see any problem but found the phantom crown 25 percent transformed to a virtual crown.
Rain is pleasantly surprised as he understood from Glenn's memory, that to advance from the Phantom Crown realm to the Virtual Crown realm power of belief is required. But his Phantom Crown is already 25 percent transformed.
Rain thought if he could attract the gaze three times more to be bestowed with the power that made his Phantom Crown transform completely into a Virtual Crown. Before he can think more about why the gaze transformed his phantom crown, he hears the sound of growls and finds the wolves have spotted him and observing him.
He takes a step forward and the wolves take a step backward, Rain understands the wolves are afraid of the illusion of the super healing lizard he formed, So Rain stops in place, he does not want the wolves to flee and he will be not able to chase after them as they are faster than him.
Then suddenly he finds that his soul power is covering the area where the wolves are. He finds his the spread of his soul power around him increases from 10 metres to 25 metres. He then sent his thoughts to the minds of the wolves,' To follow him or he will attack them.'
The Alpha wolf howls and Rain understands the Alpha wolf asking,' What is he?'
Rain did not bother to answer the Alpha wolf's question but sent threatening thoughts,' If they do not listen to him, he will all of them.'
The Alpha wolf whines and Rain understands the Alpha wolf agreeing to him. So Rain starts to walk toward the slaver's camp with the wolves following behind him.
As he led the wolves toward the camp, Rain's thoughts went to the gaze that he felt and the owner of the gaze and why the owner of the gaze how made his crown transformed without the power of belief.
Rain remembers the gaze that fell upon him when he formed the illusion of a Super-healing lizard. The Super healing lizard is a radiation beast from the radiation world and not from this world.
The gaze could be from the Gods of this world they may have noticed him entering this world and when he formed the illusion of a super-healing lizard, he received a gift from them. The super-healing lizard may be an illusion but still, it contains knowledge from a foreign world.
So, if I spread knowledge from outside this world, then the Gods will give power similar to the power of belief required by the transformation of the Phantom Crown to the Virtual Crown. Rain then turns around to check the wolves following him and they are.
Rain then thought with the power of my soul I can hypnotize and influence other living beings to do my bidding. The difference between him and ordinary living beings is only one realm but he can hypnotize them without any difficulty. The difference between him and God is four realms, and in later realms, the difference between each realm is like ground and sky.
As he easily hypnotized the slavers before for the Gods it is even easier to hypnotize him and he will release all his secret under the influence. Then the gaze must be not from the Gods of this world. Then who was behind the gaze and remembered under the gaze he felt everything in the world was watching him from the grass to the clouds in the night sky.
Rain then thought maybe the gaze was from the will of the world, which Rain thinks is like a software program, and because I introduced new knowledge I got the gift from the world's will. Rain wants the gaze to be from the world's will if it is otherwise then it is a frightening situation for him and also for the Rain in the Star immortal world as he was under the surveillance of the immortal beings. They must be aware of him from the time he enters their world.
So for his peace of mind, the gaze must be from the Alchemist world's will and he also decides before he finds from where the gaze came from, he will not introduce any knowledge from other worlds.
Rain then notices the light coming from the camp and stops thinking about the gaze now he has to rescue his friend. Rain sped up his walking speed to reach the vicinity of the camp.
After some, he is hidden in the forest where he can see the camp but the camp will not notice him and the wolves around him. Rain then sends his thoughts to the Alpha wolf to attack the camp with his pack.
The Alpha wolf growls to his pack and they start to walk toward the camp. As they pass him Rain notices the five wolf pups are also following the pack to attack the camp. Rain thought his order may lead to the wolf pack's demise but he is not so heartless.
Rain sends a message ' wait' to the wolf pack. The pack stopped and the pack turned toward him waiting for his order, he sent another message to the pack, ' The pups did not need to participate in the attack.' then Rain thought the pups might not survive alone in the forest, so he sends another message,' they can leave a wolf for taking care of the pups.'
The wolf pack starts moving again leaving behind a wolf and the five wolf pups. Rain watches as the wolves are spotted by the slavers guarding the camp and Rain can hear the commotion in the camp as the slavers stand in front of the wolves time goes on more slavers arrive and then a man comes with some slavers following him and stands behind the slavers.
Rain recognizes the man as the boss of the slavers and then another man comes behind with also some slavers around him. The boss of the slavers and this man start talking. Rain guess this man must be the second boss of the slavers.
His soul power spread stops a few meters from the camp and if the wolves can attract slavers inside the range of his soul power, he can help them. Rain sent a message to the wolves in the clearing,' to start the attack but after some time start to pull back.'
After the wolves receive his message they start to attack, and the slavers adapt to combat-defended the attack of the wolves and after some time the wolves start to pull back while defending. The two bosses remain at the back commanding the slavers.
The slavers must have recognized their advantage in the battle and so the slavers relentlessly attacked to kill the wolves. They did not know they were led by the wolves and after some time they were in the range of his soul power.
