The skill worked like a curse and spread from one person to the other.
The color of the skin started to change rapidly and so did the screams, at first, the screams were filled with agony and fear, but now they contained they were much louder and painful even for those who weren't affected by that.
In any case, it seemed like all the humans were going to die today. Shin was definitely powerful in his normal form, but while being in Flame Wolf form, he was essentially unbeatable.
"Yes, scream more..."
Shin was enjoying this while it was the opposite for the others.
Well, he was already out of his mind because he came to know about Aella's death.
Yes, Balton was strong, but he wasn't strong enough to stop Shin. No matter what he would do, in the end, he would be doomed!
Many tried to remove the armor thinking that it would cool their body. But it just made them hotter.
Well, Shin was nasty too, he used a skill that made the surroundings hotter.
'Ding'
[ You have used the skill Heatwave ]
[ The temperature in the surrounding will be raised ]
[ All beings in the surrounding range of 50 meters will be affected ]
The moment he used the skill, the temperature inevitably increased which only hurt the humans even more.
He was not a fan of the heat himself, but he didn't think anything of that sort at the moment.
*tap tap*
He walked towards the soldiers who were dying one by one.
How did he know that they were dying and were not fainting? Of course, it was the system.
'Ding'
[ You have killed 34 humans ]
And right after a moment, a similar message would pop up.
'Ding'
[ You have killed 39 humans ]
With this, he was finally sure that he was killing those idiotic humans who caused him so much pain!
He had nothing more to do, oh yes, eating!
Other than eating the ones he killed, he couldn't think of anything else.
'Splish'
'Splash'
He started biting the humans who were still alive.
Yes, he left the dead alone while he continued eating those humans who had just fainted or were still under the effect of the skill.
He just wanted them to suffer and nothing else.
"Ahhhhh!", who wasn't shouting?
Literally, any and everyone was shouting, the ones who weren't affected tried their best to run away.
The ones who were affected just hoped to die as soon as they could, the reason was simple, the pain was just unbearable.
Also, they didn't want to get eaten by Shin because he was basically biting and tearing off their flesh which only increased their pain.
Shin only bit the arms and legs so that their de4aths would be further delayed while pain would be increased by several folds.
'Splash'
Blood kept spilling and almost all the soldiers were dead except Balton.
Balton was still alive probably because of his high level.
He was definitely affected by the skill however due to his high HP when compared to others and higher endurance, he managed to stay alive until and unless Shin arrived near him.
"What do we have here?", Shin said in a weird dialect.
In any case, Balton was completely scared of Shin, he was so scared that he had already pissed himself.
Not that Shin cared about that, he was just staring at his face.
He wanted to see fear and Balton was showing that exactly.
"So, how would you like to die?", Shin asked.
"Ah-", Balton could hardly speak.
The pain with which he was suffering was immense. He could hardly muster any strength to even hear him.
Not that he could do anything about the situation.
"Answer me..."
"Balton bastard...", was what Shin said.
"I-", of course, at this stage, he would want to die peacefully.
However, he knew that Shin wouldn't let that happen.
"Why...?"
"Why are you trying to kill us?", was what Balton asked.
"..."
Shin got even more pissed when he heard his question. The person who killed Shin's beloved one, couldn't even remember what he did.
Shin felt as if he was the bad one here.
'Ding'
[ You have used the skill Burn on the target ]
[ Because of previously affected Burn skill, the effect will be amplified ]
"Arghhhh!", Balton shouted.
He was now being tortured in a much more horrible manner.
Now the pain had doubled and the intensity with which the burn marks started to appear increased too. His entire body was soon going to be covered by the marks.
"Stop!
He even thought about getting out alive, however, that seemed like a dream at the moment.
But, he didn't give up. Probably because he knew that help was on its way!
The magic dwellers can handle the magic beasts, this was a piece of common knowledge.
Although the adventurers' others could use magic, the ones who could use that professionally were called the mages who were given a separate position entirely!
He was hoping for them to arrive as soon as possible but that didn't seem possible.
"Why do I attack you ask...?"
"Haha, foolish bastard..."
"It's because you killed my dear one!", he said with a loud voice.
Balton felt as if he was going to be blown away because of the voice, but after hearing that, he became even more confused.
'Kill...?'
'Is he really talking about that Wolf?', Balton asked himself.
He was thinking about the Aerlla at the moment, earlier, he had seen that Shin's attack was similar to that of Aella's that was why he thought that they might have been related.
But when he thought about that again, he concluded that all the white wolves could use that type of attack. But now after hearing Shin, he understood that he was wrong.
He realized that Shin was indeed talking about Aella!
"So you finally remembered?", Shin asked after seeing Balton's sudden expression of realization.
"Y-yes..."
"But...", it seemed as if Balton wanted to say something.
However, Shin didn't give him an opportunity to say anything.
'Ding'
[ You have used the skill Flame Vortex ]
[ Heat in the surrounding will be doubled ]
[ Damage to the foe will be doubled ]
A tornado appeared all of a sudden. It emerged from the ground and looked as if it was touching the sky.
At the center, only Shin and Balton were present.
Although all the air gets sucked out of the center and it becomes quite hard to breathe, both were fine because due to fire the air remained in the center.
'Haha, this is fun...', Shin said to himself because he heard the screams intensifying.
When this happened, Balton's skin started to disappear for real!
"Listen..."
"Please listen to me!", Balton started to cry.
No matter how brave one tries to pretend and accept death, it would always be painful and one would always be afraid of it.
The same was the case with Balton, although he was asking for death a while ago, now he wanted to live!
Shin's eyes were still glowing with red light. It was scary as hell.
'Ding'
[ The blood pressure has gone beyond the limit of the host ]
[ Detected, Rage is harming the host ]
[ Suppressing Rage ]
[ ... ]
'Ding'
[ Failed to suppress host's rage ]
[ Finding an alternative ]
[ ... ]
'Ding'
[ Restricting MP usage ]
By doing that, the skills that Shin had used started to weaken and soon enough they disappeared.
Of course, the burn skill was still in effect however the vortex that had been spawned a second ago disappeared!
Shin was much angrier at the moment.
He knew what had happened because he noticed the system notification.
In any case, he knew that his body was being harmed however he didn't care about that.
All he thought about was killing Balton!
'I...'
'I want to rest now...', Shin said to himself.
He had over-exerted himself so what he said was absolutely right.
He was now tired of what he was doing, he just wanted to go back to the den and sleep.
'Let's wrap it up...'
While this was on his mind, his gaze seemed much more terrifying, probably because he was finally advancing because he wanted to bite Balton's neck off of his body!
He opened his mouth and was about to bite Balton's head off when suddenly Balton's words made him pause what he was doing.
"What did you say?", Shin asked.
" That Wolf wasn't killed by us!!", was what he said.
