Shin was aware of his strength but he also knew that he couldn't face so many mages.
Especially the one mage who kept firing strong attacks with almost no depletion in his MP – Melos – Shin thought that he was the biggest threat.
Therefore, without hesitation, he used the Speed Run skill to escape from that place.
His eyes began to shine again and he disappeared for a moment, but soon he reappeared.
*Bam*
He had hit something.
He only covered 10 meters before crashing into an invisible wall.
'This...'
And only now did he realize that the mage he thought was a threat, had erected a barrier to prevent him from escaping.
Not only did the system not inform him of this, but even his instincts failed to warn him.
'This barrier...'
He thought for a moment that he could break through the barrier and so he tried to use one of his powerful skills.
*Ding*
[You have used the skill Aero Slash]
But that was useless as well.
The attack did land on the barrier, however, no signs of cracks appeared.
He used the skill again and again, but even now, the barrier remained undamaged.
'This is no ordinary barrier...', Shin realized.
He wanted to try out some other skills by transforming back into his white wolf form, but before he could do that, he was met with another attack.
This time, his instincts as well as the system made him aware of the attack.
*Ding*
[Warning!]
[Gigantic Waterball approaching.]
The system gave this warning purely because Shin was in Flame Wolf form.
Since his only weakness was water, and the quantity was large, it was fatal.
His instincts cried out to him for the same reason.
'Ha?'
'Why is he attacking while keeping the barrier active?'
'Wouldn't that attack just hit the barrier...?', Shin asked himself.
'Or...'
'Is he planning to remove the barrier for a split second to let the Water Ball in?'
"..."
'Very stupid...'
'If he plans to do that, then I can easily escape with the help of a sprint even before he is able to reactivate the barrier...', and this was what Shin thought.
But to his great surprise, Melos didn't remove the barrier at all and allowed the attack to continue.
Only when the water ball passed through the barrier did Shin realize the true nature of the barrier.
'Ah...'
'I'm screwed.'
*Boom*
The waterfall collided with the ground giving a big splash.
Shin was able to dodge attacks thanks to the 'Flame Wings' skill.
The skill made him fly through the air and dodge the maximum number of splashes from the water ball. Of course, a small part did hit him and reduced his HP but that was almost negligible.
Shin then stared at the impressed Melos who was clapping his hands.
It was as if Shin was nothing to him and was just playing with him.
Shin entertained him and that's why he clapped - this only made Shin furious.
'It's been a long time since someone has toyed with me to such an extent...', Shin thought to himself, his eyes turning red due to anger.
Balton, who witnessed all of this with the Magic Orb, was completely taken aback.
He had thought that at least three Greats would be needed to defeat Shin, but now, Melos alone was dominating him completely.
Even though Shin hadn't given his all, it was still a fact that he was being toyed with.
"You bastard...", Shin spoke.
He wanted to vent his anger by yelling at Melos but even this opportunity was taken away by him when Melos just raised his hand and gave orders for everyone to fire their saved attacks.
"Huh?"
A barrage of hundreds of attacks was fired at him - some Fire Balls, some Water Balls, some Earth Shards, some Lightning Sparks and some Wind Blades.
All of these attacks had a high chance of hitting him as he only had 10-15 meters of space on each side to move or dodge.
Melos is a smart Summoner. He knows how to toy with other people. In terms of controlling the situation on the battlefield, there was probably no one better than him.
Previously, he used a powerful fireball for the first time to shock Shin and cause some damage to him and his gang.
For the safety of his gang, Shin would ask them to run away or hide somewhere - Melos had expected this.
So he had sent several mages forward waiting for Shin's subordinates to arrive so they could ambush.
However, Shin, instead of sending them elsewhere, asked them to hide in his shadow - this was one thing Melos did not expect.
Apart from this, everything else was arranged by him.
He shot a second large fireball that not only caused Shin to take some damage, but also distracted his attention from the detail that Melos had erected a barrier.
pAn,D a-ɴᴏᴠ ᴇ1,c-o-m Melos expected Shin to use some kind of skill to escape. According to him, the survival instinct of a monster was greater than its fighting instinct.
He thought that on failure to escape, Shin's confidence would be somewhat damaged and he would be shocked, which was exactly what had happened and thus, taking advantage of the situation, he shot a ball of water - because Shin had turned into a Flame Wolf.
Shin dodged the attack with a flying skill that completely surprised him, but instead of letting the other magicians attack, he clapped his hands first.
This was to infuriate Shin where he again succeeded.
He didn't want to give Shin any chance to relax.
Before Shin could fully grasp the situation and adjust, all the mages fired their attacks.
Unfortunately, now Shin continued to stare at the rain of attacks racing towards him.
It looked beautiful. All the different attacks were of different colours.
It was as if Shin was staring at a rainbow, a dangerous rainbow, falling down.
'Sigh...'
'A dangerous rain indeed…'
"…"
'What a disastrous situation!?'
*Ding*
