His aura disappeared completely even though Shin continued to use healing skills on him.
Shin kept staring at the pool of blood around the shadow wolf and kept on using the skill again and again while a single thing kept popping up on the screen.
*Ding*
[ The skill cannot be used on the target object ]
'Object…?'
"…"
He kept on activating it again and again, but there was no use. The shadow wolf had died and could no longer come back to life.
'So much for completing the mission…'
Shin thought that if he hadn't come here to complete his mission, then the shadow wolves would never have gotten into any danger or wouldn't have died.
"…"
'Damn…'
'I feel so useless.'
"…"
''I don't even know his name…', Shin said to himself.
He didn't know if the wolf that died had a name or not, but he assumed that he had a name and kept on regretting not asking him.
But whatever he thought, he didn't stop activating the skill.
"Master, he is no more…"
"Please don't waste your mana on a dead body like him.", Raka said.
Right after those words entered Shin's ears, he turned his head furiously towards Raka and stared at him with tear-filled red eyes.
Yes, he was crying because of one dead shadow wolf whom he didn't even know that deeply.
This was genuine because he had indeed spent some time with the shadow wolves earlier when he hunted some beasts.
'Come on…'
'Get up…', he told himself while shedding tears.
And just when he was thinking about the shadow wolf, the Earth and Fire Ape ran towards him with rage to kill him together.
"I thought Apes were supposed to be smarter.", he said in a low voice as he turned towards them with rage.
His switch flipped too quickly and he went from sad mode to angry mode as if it was meant to happen.
"Well, say goodbye to your lives", he said and dashed away almost immediately.
*Ding*
[ You have used the skill Dragon's Aura ]
[ You have used the skill Dash ]
[ You have used the skill Bite ]
[ You have used the skill Dark Manipulation ]
He used all these skills in order as they were mentioned by the system.
First, he used the skill Dragon's Aura to render fear and paralysis on the apes, which decreased their agility by almost 90%. Then he used the skill dash to move at a high pace towards them.
Then he used the skill bite to bite off their heads with a single skill which was possible right now thanks to his increased experience of doing different things.
And finally, he used the skill Dark Manipulation to cover the Shadow Wolf that had just died with a blanket made up of Darkness.
"Rest easy, no sunlight will bother you from your sleep.", Shin said in a low voice as he circled the wolf.
'Why am I so emotional…?'
'He was just a stranger…'
'Then, why…?'
"…"
'Is it because he was a part of my clan…?'
'Will I cry for every member that dies?', Shin asked himself as he shed some last tears.
'No…'
'I won't let anyone else die in such a way.'
He recalled the brutal thrashings that the shadow wolf suffered before its death.
He was already suffering his entire life because he had no vision and hearing ability. Yes, living was a pain for him, but now, even death was painful, which made Shin burst with anger and killing intent.
He was angry with himself for failing to protect him.
'He was alive…'
'When I used my healing skill, he was still alive…'
'But even after that, I couldn't save him.', he blamed himself.
It was true, at his level right now, it was evident that he couldn't heal the shadow wolf.
The rate at which the shadow wolf lost its HP was at least ten times more than the amount of HP it gained due to healing. So, he ended up dying.
As Shin was thinking about the wolf, a thunder sound was heard.
Shin turned towards his right, only to find another Ape right in front of him. The ape that arrived was covered in thunder and even without looking at the system, he could say what elemental type the Ape was.
[ Thunder Ape ]
[ Level: 81/100 ]
Shin recalled the fact that Raka had mentioned that there were three Apes in total.
Shin's eyeballs trembled as the last Ape arrived.
"Welcome, we have been waiting for you.", Shin said sarcastically.
The Ape didn't say anything as he watched his two brothers beheaded.
When Shin used to hunt beasts of the same level, they would only give a maximum of 100 Exp, but since the beasts whom he killed were of higher level, he received 1250 Exp at the same time. He only needed 150 Exp more to reach level 80, but that didn't matter to him anymore.
He was now focused on something entirely different.
The Ape, after a few seconds, finally realized what had happened and ended up screaming in a rage, "Brothers!"
"Tsk, I don't want to hear your scream."
*Ding*
[ You have used the skill Dash ]
[ You have used the skill Bite ]
Shin vanished and aimed at the Ape's neck. He thought that it was going to be easy to bite off the Thunder Ape's neck as well, but little did he know that the Thunder Ape was continuously covered in high-density Thunder.
*ZZZD*
Even though Shin was resistant to electric shocks and thunder, he felt that.
He was pushed back because of the thunder.
'I have experienced this a lot of times…'
Yes, earlier, when he used to fail missions, he used to get zapped, and now the situation seemed somewhat the same.
He was zapped by thunder, but not by the system. It was by the Thunder Ape, whose thunder was ten times stronger than those that Shin had experienced.
This causes him to bounce back. But yes, that was not the only advantage that the Thunder Ape had.
He was also fast, quite insanely fast, just like thunder, and by no means, could Shin keep up with it.
