Transformation Necklace

The runes on the two Rune Cards were the same. Abel didn't know which rune it was. He put them away, planning to forge them onto his greatsword back at the Castle and test their effects later.

Abel picked up the Orc Skill Card again. It was the same as the one he had used before. This Orc Skill Card was also carved with the Beast God. At the bottom of the Orc Skill Card was a star. It was clear that this was another Orc Skill Card that would disappear after one use.

Abel naturally wouldn't waste this opportunity. He sent his spiritual power into the Orc Skill Card. His spiritual power connected with a surge of energy within it. With his previous experience, Abel knew this was the inheritance within the Orc Skill Card.

His vision blurred. Abel felt himself transform into a middle-aged Werewolf riding on the back of a Direwolf, holding a long spear. According to the information passed down through the inheritance, this Orc Skill Card recorded the spear techniques of the Wolf Rider of the Woolf Family, the royal family of the Werewolves. Unlike the human Knight spear techniques Abel had learned, the Werewolf royal family's spear techniques were accompanied by a short incantation with every thrust. Perhaps because it was a royal skill, the incantations did not contain words praising the Beast God, but were very concise.

As the middle-aged Werewolf's spear continuously thrust out, accompanied by the Direwolf's various leaps, Abel counted a total of 11 stances. Each stance was perfectly coordinated with the Direwolf. As the middle-aged Werewolf chanted the incantations, each thrust of the spear let out sharp, air-piercing sounds.

The information transmitted by the Orc Skill Card told Abel that the power of these spear thrusts was not weaker than the boost from Battle Qi. However, everyone's Battle Qi was limited. Prolonged combat relied mainly on personal strength, with Battle Qi only being unleashed when needed. This Werewolf royal skill, however, had no time limit; it could be used as long as one had stamina.

Although Abel had learned the Knight techniques of the Bennett Family and the Hari Family, those were mostly Battle Qi skills. This was the first time he had encountered a Battle Skill that wasn't Battle Qi-based. By using incantations combined with corresponding thrusting movements, one could exert double the power for an extended period.

It seemed that Abel and the Werewolves had some kind of connection, as both Orc Skill Cards he had obtained were Werewolf skills.

Watching the Orc Skill Card finally dissipate into the air, Abel didn't know the value of this Battle Skill, but he knew the importance of the Woolf Family's royal inheritance. Let alone royal inheritance, even ordinary family inheritances were not something others could obtain.

That Transformation Necklace... Abel didn't have time to study it now. There was still a Werewolf on the mountain to deal with. Abel hung the necklace around his neck and tucked it inside his clothes.

The Black Armor surprised Abel greatly. The removed armor could be fixed into a rectangle with a few hidden clasps, making it easy to carry. Such clever design made it hard to imagine that this was armor made for Orcs.

Facing the Werewolf corpse on the ground, Abel raised his greatsword. Although he had killed many Orcs since arriving in this world and had seen many corpses, he still found it difficult to cut off a corpse's head.

The mindset formed in another world had changed a lot in these two years, but those thoughts still influenced Abel's actions. Just like now, in this world, people believed that cutting off an enemy's head demonstrated their combat prowess, while in another world, it was considered desecrating a corpse.

"Forget it, I'm strong anyway," Abel decided in his heart. He lifted the corpse with one hand and carried the Black Armor in the other, heading back towards the mountaintop.

Upon reaching the mountaintop, Abel chose a position downwind, where he could see the situation with the large bird from a distance.

The Sky-Scorching Sparrow's wounds had been treated. The medicine had effectively covered the wounds, stopping the bleeding. The Sky-Scorching Sparrow had also fallen asleep due to exhaustion from flying after losing blood.

The one controlling the Werewolf was setting up a tent, completely unaware of Abel's arrival.

He put down the corpse and armor in his hands, took out the Hari Bow, nocked an arrow, and shot it towards the Werewolf's chest, aiming for the heart. At the moment the arrow was shot, the Werewolf happened to turn around. The arrow was very fast, but the Werewolf's turn did not save him from his fate. Although it didn't hit the heart directly, the arrow created a hole in the Werewolf's chest, piercing straight through his body. Judging by the path of the arrow, the Werewolf's lungs and spine were both pierced.

The Werewolf on the ground did not die immediately. He struggled to reach into his chest, pulling out a token. Just as he was about to crush it, Abel noticed his action. The second arrow directly pierced the Werewolf's head. The Werewolf's hand loosened, and the token fell to the ground.

After shooting the Werewolf, Abel glanced at the large bird. The commotion here had not disturbed its rest at all. Abel tiptoed forward, approached the Werewolf, and kicked him with his foot. This Werewolf's vitality exceeded Abel's imagination. Despite having his lungs and spine pierced, he still had the strength to retrieve something from his chest.

Abel picked up the token the Werewolf had dropped. It had three Werewolf characters on it. Abel recognized these three characters as "Sky-Scorching Sparrow." Below it was the number "36." The back was inlaid with a diamond, and some rune lines that Abel couldn't understand extended from the diamond, encircling the entire back of the token.

Abel looked at the card, not knowing its function or its activation incantation. However, his research spirit emerged again. Since there was no incantation, he would try to connect with it directly using his spiritual power. Abel had experience in this area. The Orc Skill Cards also required a combination of cumbersome incantations and other requirements to be used, yet he could use them simply by using his spiritual power.

Skillfully, he extended his spiritual power towards the牌. As soon as it approached, a white light flashed from the diamond. Then, the white light began to move along the rune lines. In just a moment, the牌 was enveloped in white light. Abel's spiritual power intertwined with the white light, and the牌 emitted a strange detection wave. The wave scanned Abel's entire body, and then Abel felt two Werewolf characters from the牌: "Refuse."

What did it mean? Refuse?

Abel could feel that this token was extremely important to the Werewolves, so important that the Werewolf had wanted to destroy it before dying.

The previous experiment proved that spiritual power could activate the牌, but the牌 itself had a security mechanism. Abel had also felt the detection wave. It seemed that the wave could detect that Abel was not a Werewolf but a human, thus rejecting his activation request.

Was there really no way? Abel felt a pang of unbearable frustration. If this card couldn't be activated, he would give up on studying it. But it was clearly capable of activation, yet he couldn't get past the detection; he was just one step away.

Abel thought to himself, "If I were a Werewolf, I would be able to pass the detection."

As he thought this, his eyes suddenly lit up. Abel remembered the Transformation Necklace on his chest. If the necklace could turn a Werewolf into a human, could it turn a human into a Werewolf?

"Let's try it," Abel took out the necklace, recalling the incantations, and carefully filtered through them. His memory was fine; the incantations were complete.

Abel looked around. It was very safe here. The two Werewolves chose this place for a reason. The small mountain was not high, but it had many trees, all tall and capable of blocking the mountaintop. The campsite chosen by the Werewolf was a clearing on the mountaintop.

He took the Transformation Necklace from inside his clothes and placed it on the outside. Placing one hand on it, Abel began to chant the Werewolf incantations.

As Abel chanted, a sense of pressure appeared in the sky again, as if the incantations were connected to a transcendent life, a higher life form that Abel couldn't understand. Just a little bit of pressure made Abel feel a deep-seated fear.

A green light flashed on the necklace, growing stronger and stronger, quickly enveloping Abel's entire body. Abel felt the necklace offer him three choices: Werewolf, Human, Elf.

Abel imagined the appearance of the Werewolf who had been killed. In an instant, Abel felt a tearing pain in his muscles all over his body, causing him to let out a soft cry. Then, his bones began to crack, his height increased, gray-brown fur grew all over his body, his face began to contort, and his teeth grew wildly.

As the green light disappeared, Abel had become a genuine Werewolf. Even he could feel the difference in his internal organs compared to before. It was truly magical, Abel couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

After using the necklace, Abel also learned some information about it.
