She lost control.
A sharp pain shot through her spine, and the next second, she wasn't standing on two legs anymore.
She had four. Her vision sharpened, colors becoming more vivid, her hearing picking up even the smallest sounds.
She had transformed into her wolf form.
The little cub gasped. "W-Wolf Goddess?!"
Su Jiyai's breath came out in quick pants. Her paws dug into the ground, her tail flicking behind her. She felt stronger, faster, more... alive.
Then, another feeling hit her.
A pull. A deep, desperate hunger in her core.
Her blood crystals. If she absorbed them here... she would grow stronger.
Her paws trembled. She wanted to take them out. To use them. But before she could, something even crazier happened.
A powerful energy surged through her body, bursting out like a raging storm. The air around her crackled. The ground trembled beneath her paws.
Then—
A golden light shot out from her body, illuminating the entire clearing.
She had broken through.
