'If this kingdom is under the domain of truth, then does that mean my wolf form was a lie? No! That doesn't make any sense! It can't be possible!' Shin thought as he pulled his hair. He then looked towards the shadow wolves who were warily looking at Shin.

"It's me, Shin," he said using telepathy. The shadow wolves seemed surprised as they looked at the human in front of them.

"It's me. It's just that I had to disguise myself," Shin explained. The shadow wolves couldn't hear the conversation that took place between the brothers of judgment and Shin, so they didn't know about the gem of truth or its effects. That's the reason they believed Shin's words after some time.

In fact, Deoras had a smirk on his face.

'My master is amazing!', he thought to himself.

Regardless…

Shin stood up, and although his legs felt weak at first, the human feeling refreshed his mind. Now that he realized that he was in human form, he needed clothes. After all, he couldn't be naked after knowing it.

He sneakily walked towards one of the skeletons that were near them and pointed his finger toward the skeleton from one meter away. He wanted to test something. Quickly, web shot from his fingers and stuck to the skeleton. The skeleton seemed startled at first, but before it could even scream, the web pulled it.

Shin quickly grabbed the mouth of the skeleton and twisted it. He then broke the lower jaw of the skeleton so that it couldn't speak. Of course, this didn't kill the skeleton.

'Now that I am in human form, I should be able to blend in with others. I can then complete my mission easily,' Shin thought. He then stored the shadow wolves in his inventory because he wanted to blend in with the people in this kingdom, and it would be very unusual to see so many wolves in someone's shadow.

How could others see? It was because of gem of truth.

When one saw Shin's shadow, it would appear like a pit with wolves inside - of course, this was the power of gem of truth.

As soon as he tried to blend with the skeletons, he was immediately caught.

"A human with flesh! Capture him! Capture him!" The people started to scream as soon as Shin tried to blend with them.

'Dammit! How could I make such a silly mistake? These were skeletons without flesh, while I look like a human, perfectly fine with flesh and muscle! Of course, they would catch me!' Shin started to curse himself due to his foolish action.

Shin quickly transformed into a flaming wolf emperor. Just as he predicted, his hair and eyes turned bright orange and were no longer spiky; instead, they were long and reached his shoulders.

Shin then started to run as his long bright orange mane fluttered around him. Shin used flame waves and launched them toward any skeleton in his way without the fear of killing them since they were practically immortal.

As Shin was running, he noticed stalls where fruits and vegetables were being sold. 'How are they able to grow these things in the desert?' Shin thought, but then quickly found out the answer. He remembered that skeletons would go out while disguising themselves. They must have bought it from the human kingdoms. That's what Shin thought, but he then shook his head. Now was not the time to think about all these things.

At that time, multiple skeleton knights appeared and started attacking Shin.

One of the skeleton knights swung his sword towards Shin, but at that time he launched his skill, flame waves, towards that skeleton, melting the sword and bones.

Shin then used a flaming vortex, melting some of the skeleton knights. He then started to run towards the castle. At that time, he saw many more knights coming towards him.

'Damn! They don't learn their lesson, do they?' Shin said, completely frustrated.

He once again used his flaming vortex, but this time, the sand beneath him opened up. To Shin, it felt like he had launched his skill, but suddenly he started to fall.

'It was a trap!' Shin screamed internally, but it was already too late. For the first time in a while, he fell unconscious.

But soon Shin's eyes opened once again, and he stood up on his two legs, trying to understand what had just happened.

He fell unconscious because of the sleeping powder, which wasn't poisonous, so his skills didn't work. However, he had another skill that prevented changes in stats or buffs, so he was able to wake up quickly.

Shin looked around himself, trying to comprehend where he was. He was trapped in a cage being pulled by two desert tigers.

As Shin was about to use his skills to escape the cage, he started to hear cheers from the audience. They were watching their favorite show.

He tilted his head and looked towards the side, bewildered by what he saw. Hundreds of skeletons were cheering.

Soon, two skeleton knights walked towards the cage, opened its lock, and unlocked the tiger's metal collars from their necks. After doing so, the knights quickly left the place, which resembled an arena in fact it was.

Shin looked around and saw many other cages being carried by the desert tigers. They contained multiple beasts and humans.

Shin's brows furrowed as he looked at the cages. Then, he shifted his vision to the people who were cheering.

"Damn! We got a lot of humans this month, didn't we?"

"Yea! It will be very fun to watch them getting slaughtered!"

"Hahahahha!"

The cheers grew louder as the crowd of skeletons watched the cages being dragged into the arena. They were excited to see the beasts and humans fight for their entertainment. Some were placing bets, eagerly anticipating the bloodshed that would ensue. Others were bragging about their previous winnings, their hollow bones rattling with excitement. 

The atmosphere was electrifying, as if the entire arena was buzzing with the anticipation of the upcoming battles. The skeletons were all dressed in various costumes and wigs, adding to the theatricality of the event. They were all united in their love of violence and spectacle. 

At that moment, a skeleton wearing a wig appeared, holding something that resembled a mic.

"Ladies and gentlemen! This month's battles will be very fun! I guarantee it to all of you!" The man said in a cheerful and energetic voice.
