Without wasting any more time, he made a plan along with Deoras.

And for this, he required help from not only Deoras but also from many other Shadow Wolves.

It took them about an hour to have everything ready. Everyone by now was aware of the plan.

About an hour later, Shin started packing the kinds of stuff - adding everyone to his inventory one by one.

The shadow wolves were asked to hide in his shadows whereas the other beings just simply got stored in the inventory.

Shin felt a little different when he stored stronger beasts.

For the weaker ones, it was too easy. Just glancing at them and thinking about using inventory was enough. However, for Grigard King, Blanca, Terran, etc, Shin had to concentrate a lot more.

It drained him of his mental power as he finished storing everyone.

Without delaying any further, Shin snuck out with the help of Happy Panda.

Happy Panda carried Shin as if he was some lifeless object and walked out of the arena. This was to deceive the guards.

Furthermore, many more beasts were present outside, buying and eating various things in the stalls. Panda casually walked by with Shin wrapped with a towel.

The moment he was out of everyone's sight, he let go of Shin.

"Good luck.", Panda said as he turned back and walked towards the arena with the same towel, but this time, holding rocks inside.

Shin and everyone from the Lou Shin clan had left!

Not even one was present in the arena. Except for their body doubles, that is.

From the beginning, all the stronger beasts in Shin's clan had been hiding their aura, so it was not much of a problem. As for the weaker beasts, they didn't need to hide their auras as it wasn't all that fierce.

It was similar to the audience and hence didn't warn or cause much of a threat.

Shin had his aura and presence hidden from the start anyway, so, their vanishing, didn't alarm anyone at all.

The body doubles did emit a tiny bit of aura, but this was just barely enough to make up for the aura of the lower-ranking beasts from Shin's clan.

As the shadow wolves had withdrawn from the area, the doubles wouldn't last for long.

The mana of the shadow wolves was decreasing each and every second. So, about an hour or two was the best they could hold for.

But this was not something Shin bothered to worry about. That was because he had already made his preparations.

He had asked Happy Panda to keep inserting a little amount of mana into the shadow creations so that they could fool everyone for a much longer period.

The audience spotted Shin and his gang entering the arena once again but of course, they weren't the original ones.

They were just created out of shadows.

The behavior of the shadow creations wasn't all that similar to how the real ones would show, but their simple-minded actions such as sitting, standing, and watching the show were being executed perfectly.

Shin, by now, had already reached the river point where he had taken a diversion to cross it. However, he no longer had enough time to go all the way towards the mountain and then come back.

He just walked straight through the river as if it was nothing. Of course, the river was deep with extremely fast flowing water, but this was nothing when Shin used his skill Dark Manipulation.

He basically turned himself into shadow or darkness to be precise, and just traveled across the river in the form of a shadow.

He hadn't thought about this idea earlier and uselessly took a long way. But right now, after being in contact with the information about shadow creation, the idea was much closer to him and thus it was possible.

He eventually crossed the river and started running again.

Two hours passed by.

Shin and his gang, the duplicate ones, remained seated as the program saw its end. It was evening and was soon going to be night. Reosan had announced to the beasts about snack time and then dinner time.

Regardless, many of the beasts had left whereas Shin and the rest remained.

The celestials, who were watching from afar in their own rooms were a bit surprised and confused as well.

That was because they could no longer see any of their stats. A shadow didn't have any stat, to begin with, so how would they even see?

'I can't believe this…'

'Is he trying to say that he could hide his stats with ease but went along and pretended to be weak? Does this mean he voluntarily let us see his stats?', one of the celestials thought this.

Whereas another one thought, 'Is he mocking us?'

'Our masters, the Supreme Celestials told us to demolish them the moment they left the arena. But with many eyes watching, we cannot do that so we only agreed to keep an eye on them.'

'But just look at that…'

'The moment we start observing each one of them, their stats suddenly vanish.'

'Just what does this mean?'

The celestials were trapped inside a loop of heavy misunderstanding. They thought that Shin was either mocking them by showing his true colors. Some even felt a tiny bit inferior to SHin at the moment.

The blue-masked celestial was in fact jealous of Shin because the Supreme Celestials were paying attention to him all of a sudden.

Well, no matter what they thought, SHin had already gone far. He had crossed the river and had already arrived in the forest where his territory was present.

He thought that he would be able to rest for a bit after arriving at the village, but that was far from reality.

He was greeted with a large door when he arrived at the center of the forest.

"This…"

Needless to say, it was the entrance door built by the great dwarves.

'Remarkable…'

"…"
