Shin ran like a wild dog without thinking about anything yet again. But since his pain nullification skill was disabled, he could feel the pain building up inside his body.
The only difference was that he was not ready to stop and that was all. He didn't want to waste any more time after finally finding her whereabouts.
But oh well, little did he know the danger that laid in front of him.
Yes, the great danger which Kaily was referring to was just ahead.
That was why, a huge clash that was unseen was going to occur.
Although Shin didn't know about that, he could sense the chill in the air.
Yes, as he approached and neared the edge of the south end of the forest, from another direction that is, he found a rather weird but strong pressure covering the area.
Not to mention, it was still dark. The sunrise was soon the occur, however it was still dark so Shin couldn't actually see too far, of course, without using his skills that is.
'What is this...?'
He asked with a confused expression on his face.
He stopped running precisely because of 5his pressure after almost nearing the edge.
100 more meters and he would actually exit the forest. Though, he stopped at the moment because he felt as if someone was watching him.
"Who...?"
And just when he was going to ask and find out, he was attacked all of a sudden.
*Boom*
A huge explosion occurred which destroyed more than five of the surrounding huge trees.
Unusually, the trees or the surrounding didn't catch fire.
"Wha-"
"What the heck was that?"
Shin raised his voice after seeing the large crater formed at the place where he was standing.
Yes, the attack was aimed at him but he successfully dodged it.
It was thanks to his skill Dash and Wind Run which were still active.
"..."
"Who are you?"
"Why are you attacking me!?", Shin asked.
"..."
But there was no reply. It felt as if an unknown being had targeted Shin and didn't want him to go from the place where he was standing.
*Boom*
Another blast occurred just left to him. Shin thought that the attack missed, but he was wrong of course.
The blast that occurred was different from earlier.
While earlier was like an explosion destroying things in its surroundings, the current attack seemed to have targeted Shin specifically!
How so? Well, the attack was aimed at his shadow which appeared due to the sunrise which took place a few seconds ago.
Although the sun wasn't exactly visible, the light from it reached Shin since he was standing almost at the edge where there was a little opening area.
The attacks weren't visible to Shin's eyes. That was because the attacks had the same color as that of nighttime - black.
Due to that, they easily camouflaged in the darkness.
Shin was lucky to dodge the first attack, in fact, that was because of his quick reflexes.
'What the heck?'
Shin wasn't able to move anymore. It was as if someone tied him down at the place where he was standing.
'Just, what happened?'
Shin hadn't noticed yet that the attack which the unknown one launched had hit his shadow.
All he thought was that the attack missed and nothing else because of which he failed to realize the gravity of the situation.
Though, he had the system's help so it was fine, for now, that is.
'System, answer me...'
'Just wha-'
However, even before he could answer anything else, his instincts warned him of the next attacks that were coming towards him.
Yes, this time he was able to see them clearly. It was partly because of the sunlight which took away the camouflaging capability. The major reason for seeing the attack was his skill - All-Seeing Eyes.
'Ding'
[ You have used the skill All-Seeing Eyes ]
His eyes started to glow yet again with green light. He could see three spheres, loaded with energy, coming towards him.
'Ding'
[ You have used the skill Dash ]
'Ding'
[ You were unable to move from the place because of Shadow Restraint ]
[ You are rendered immobile ]
Shin thought about escaping with the skill 'Dash', however, he failed and the system enlightened him the reason for his failure immediately.
The attack that was launched now wasn't that fast, so Shin got enough time to think about another skill and thankfully, he was able to use a skill to defend himself.
'Ding'
[ You have used the skill Aero Slash ]
He used the skill thrice continuously because earlier, he had seen that three spheres were advancing towards him. He could also see the power levels of the skills and the auras with which they were engulfed.
So he knew roughly how strong they were.
'The attacks, they are nearly as strong as my Aero Slash.' - was what he had concluded due to which he ended up using the said skill.
*Boom*
*Boom*
*Boom*
The sound of three explosions was heard. Yes, although it seemed as if the attacks would be nullified, the spheres were still loaded with a tremendous amount of energy so it was an obvious thing to happen.
Quite a lot of smoke was liberated as a result of the collision of the attacks.
"Who are you?"
"Show yourself!", Shin raised his voice.
However, there was no need for him to do that. He could use his All-seeing eyes to detect him.
But oh well, he was trying to buy some time in which he wanted the system to find a way to get rid of the shadow restraint!
'Ding'
[ Advice: The system advises the host to use the skill Transformation ]
"What good will that do?", Shin asked in a loud voice instinctively.
The unknown being that was still hiding in the shadows of the trees seemed confused after seeing Shin talking to the system.
'Who is he talking to?', the beast asked himself.
'Ding'
[ Answer ]
[ You will be able to transform in Dark Wolf General ]
"Ah..."
Shin realized that he could actually escape with the system's advice.
'Alright then...'
His eyes started to glow yet again with green light right after which, a black sphere engulfed him.
'Ding'
[ You have used the skill Transformation ]
[ You have selected the Link, Dark Wolf General ]
"..."
