Shin smiled as he looked at everyone shivering.
With everyone's fear, he only got stronger.
It was fun, everyone looked like prey to him. However, he didn't activate his dual classes.
The classes were temporarily locked, but it had been long since they were unlocked. However, Shin only realized this when he was trying his evolution options.
Regardless, he didn't think about using those right now.
He wanted to get out of this place, but at the same time, he wanted to leave a strong impression on them. What could be better than letting them know their true fear?
He turned back and started to run.
Melos, who was still trembling, decided to summon another barrier to trap Shin.
But this time, Melos failed.
It didn't mean that he failed in summoning a barrier! His summoning was successful and a barrier did appear around Shin, however, it was utterly useless.
Shin's Death Wolf form could pass through attacks as of they were nothing. The barrier was no exception.
He easily passed through it and continued running, further using the Speed Run skill to escape faster.
About the bodies of the three dead shadow wolves - he had stored them in his inventory while running.
Melos had sent some of his men ahead earlier. They were waiting to ambush.
They had sent some traps too - mostly pitfall and spears as their base.
If it was any other wolf, they would have successfully hunted it. Unfortunately, it was Shin.
He didn't even need his All Seeing Eyes to see through the traps.
The mages who were hiding ended up exposing themselves as fear engulfed them.
Despite them being far away from Shin, they could still feel the uncanny fear.
Regardless, Shin ran past the traps as if they were nothing and escaped the place.
Kelton and Walton arrived about 20 minutes later, but now Shin had already escaped.
"You failed to stop him!?"
"You!?", Walton was surprised when he heard Melos' words.
"Yes.", Melos shook his head as he clenched his fist.
Kelton wasn't particularly surprised as he knew that Melos alone wouldn't be able to stop Shin.
He looked at the soldiers and mages who were on the walls. They neither looked tired nor was any of them injured.
He asked, "How many of your men died, Melos?"
Melos shook his head yet again and said, "None."
Kelton was surprised.
He asked, "What about the wolf?"
"Were you able to cause any damage to it?"
Melos nodded as he said, "Yes, at the start, the wolf did take a lot of damage."
"But in the end, it seemed perfectly alright."
"Oh...", Kelton tapped his chin, confused even now.
However, all his confusion was replaced with fear and surprise when Melos mentioned about the death of three shadow wolves.
"I managed to kill only three shadow wolves..."
"..."
"Huh?", Kelton took a step back when Melos mentioned this.
"If I had more info and more time to prepare, then I could have definitely killed the wolf.", Melos said, almost bragging.
"..."
'Even after killing some subordinates of the wolf, it didn't try to kill ours...'
'No way...'
'Someone who doesn't even care if their brethren have been killed and wants to save their own life can be classified as one of the two, a Coward or Ruthless.'
'As far as I know, that wolf beast is not just a mindless monster...'
'It is not a coward either...'
'It only took a step back today and will someday, it will come back to bite our necks...', Kelton kept slamming his head with his fist.
Melos and Walton seemed confused as they weren't even aware of the danger that they had let go.
...
'Damn those fuckers...'
'Who do they think they are?', Shin, who was way ahead of the kingdom, was still furious.
They had hurt his pride.
Especially Melos, who toyed with him, remained imprinted in his memory.
'When I return, I will settle this debt for sure.', he said to himself that he would pay them back.
He paused after running for some more time as Deoras and the rest asked if they could get out of his shadow.
pαпdα-ňᴏνêι·сóМ "Yes, come out now.", Shin said.
All the shadow wolves appeared immediately.
They weren't greeted with any smile, but rather, with killing intent.
They could clearly see that Shin was furious.
His eyes were glowing in red, in contrast to the usual green. His Aura was black, causing everyone around him inconvenience. The shadow wolves that just emerged were trembling in fear as a Death Wolf stood in front of them.
'Damn bastards...'
Shin's blood kept boiling.
The fact that they did something like this to him and got away with it made him even more furious.
It would have been best to forget about this for now and carry on with his business, but every time he tried to do so, the images would just flash through his memories and make him furious.
"Um, Your Highness...", Deorad called out to Shin, wanting to make sure he is alright.
Shin, didn't even look at him and just randomly started walking after saying, "We should keep moving forward..."
He walked slowly and the shadow wolves followed him closely.
They were still trembling because of the Death Wolf form which Shin soon deactivated as he noticed that others were uncomfortable.
He kept walking slowly like a snail for about twenty minutes. Soon after that, he stopped.
"How dare they...?", he mumbled to himself, almost audible to Deoras.
"Your Highness...?", Deoras called out to him yet again, but this time, Shin didn't respond to him.
As he continuously thought about this, Shin realized that he couldn't go on just like that, with these half-broken feelings.
"You all, continue this way."
"It will be a straight path leading to the West Terrain..."
Deoras and the rest of the wolves were intelligent enough to at least understand the path that will take them to their destination.
Shin even demanded one of the shadow wolves to bring a wooden stick, after bringing which, he used to draw out a map.
"There will be two more human kingdoms ahead. Be careful. Walk stealthily but if they do try to mess with you, let them know whose subordinates you are!"
"Wha-"
"What about you, your highness?"
"Won't you accompany us?", Deoras asked.
"No."
"I have some debt to pay back."
As he said this, he turned back and used his skill Speed Run, vanishing from their sight almost immediately.
