Chapter 185 One Town Conquered
Chapter 185 One Town Conquered
"Sigh, I really don't have much time, so I hope you make it quick."
Shin was actually talking out loud so that all the adventurers get freaked out. There were two reasons for doing this, one – they would panic and make mistakes, again and again, two - he would let one of them live so that he could spread fear among the others in the town.
Shin did everything carefully. He wasn't being hasty nor was he wasting too much time.
The adventurers were terrified at the moment, however, that was limited to only some of them.
Others were rather curious and eager to catch Shin.
That was because he still looked like a small pup with no aura at all. Since they heard it talk, they thought that it was some rare beast or some rare monster that could fetch them a large price.
Because of that, other adventurers took their chance and ran with all their might towards Shin without thinking about the consequences of underestimating their foe.
The adventurers who wore awesome armor and walked towards Shin earlier just trembled and walked backward now.
It might have been his instincts or sixth sense that warned him of the situation. Because of that, he gave up his chance of attacking Shin first and let others go first.
'Other adventurers weren't fools...'
'They weren't weak either. They might have taken a lot of precautions but despite that, they didn't return alive.'
'So if it really was this pup's doing, then it's better to analyze its strength before attacking!'
'I will let others go and see if my thinking is correct or not...'
'If it is wrong, I will still be alive whereas if it is right, I will get valuable info and advantage over others.'
The arrogant adventurer who seemed to be greedy at first suddenly started to take precautions.
In Shin's eyes, these steps were worth five stars but he was not here to judge.
"Yeah..."
"I'm here to hunt!"
Right after saying that he started running towards the four adventurers who ran towards him with greed.
He wasn't using his skills and was just running based on his own speed stats. They were high enough due to which he appeared quite agile to them.
"Damn, for a small pup, it sure has quite the speed!"
Shin then ran towards the adventurers as they ran towards him. Of course, he opened his mouth wide only to aim at their vital points and the areas which weren't covered by the armor.
However, the adventurers had various weapons with them. The ones who used bows and arrows stood back and waited for a chance to directly pierce through Shin's heart. Others had swords and spears holding which they charged at Shin.
They knew that a wolf had two main weapons – fangs and nails, to be precise – claws.
Other than these, they didn't have much to worry about so if they were wary of these things, they could easily escape the situation.
However, they had no idea that Shin was not their average pup. Yes, he was out of this world to begin with and had extraordinary power.
"Hyaaa!"
An adventurer who wielded a sword, charged at Shin. It was clear that he was aiming to cut Shin's neck with a single strike.
"You damn beast! Don't pretend to be a dragon!"
He swung his large sword with all his might. It was no joke, his muscles were clearly visible and the power with which he swung was so great that it could easily slice down a boulder in two leaving a clear cut behind.
'Ding'
[ You have used the skill Wind Run ]
Shin's eyes started to glow with a green light just as usual when he used that skill.
*Zwoop*
Shin was earlier in mid-air with his mouth wide opened. He was aiming to harm the adventurers and was trying to kill them with a single bite.
However, being in mid-air seemed to be quite disadvantageous since he could hardly dodge any attacks. The adventurer with the long sword had thought that Shin was just another pup that had huge powers but no intelligence or very little intelligence.
After all, it was drilled into them that humans were the most intelligent beings in the world just after the dragons and the elves. Because of that, their arrogance knew no bounds and the confidence grew to be as high as the sky which ultimately turned into overconfidence of course!
Yes, the adventurer didn't think that Shin could dodge the attack mid-air and aimed at his neck. He forgot about his own defense thinking that his armor would be enough to block most of the attacks.
*swoosh*
However, he swung the sword only to pass through the empty space!
Yes! His attack completely missed. Shin basically vanished right in front of him.
Wind Run – it is a skill that lets the user increase his/her speed. But as it starts to reach higher levels, it gets new effects or the pre-existing effects get enhanced.
Indeed, the wind run skill which only let Shin run faster with the help of the wind in the surrounding had now transformed into something else.
He had discovered this very recently when he was killing other adventurers beforehand!
The skill now let him walk in the wind or to be precise, the wind or air just under his feet would become a hard materialistic object and act like the ground that would enable him to have a stable footing only to let him jump or run from that point.
He could basically climb up the air which was a dope effect to have, though, it would last only 5 seconds.
'Ding'
[ You have used the skill Bite ]
Shin appeared behind him after dodging the attack and without wasting any time, used his attack to finish off the adventurer.
*crunch*
"…"
*splash*
Though the name of the skill is bite, it shouldn't be misunderstood with taking a small bite or tearing flesh. It could get stronger or could be aimed at a larger thing – basically, it is proportional to the size of the mouth.
Shin could easily widen his mouth which could open as big as a human head – yes, he completely crushed the entire head of the adventurer that was in a daze after seeing Shin from his sight.
The head was missing and blood gushed out from his neck as if it was a fountain.
Shin continued to chew the head and the skull which he just took out of the adventurer.
'Weird, the skull is supposed to be strong, but I can chew it as if it is some type of chips!', he said to himself while chewing and causing the crunching sound.
"No-"
"He-"
A lot of blood had been splashed on Shin's body. He had white fur and the red blood on it seemed like some sort of art – of course, a bloody art at that since it was no red paint but blood!
A few adventurers, around six, turned back and started to run with all their might towards the town Cry Pale.
Shin just stood there and did nothing when they started to run.
'We-'
'We are safe!', those six adventurers had a crazy smile on their faces.
They were kind of relieved but they had no time to stop.
'That is no normal beast!'
'That is definitely a pet of the demon king!', thought one of the six who ran away.
'I would rather die by some random beast than get tortured and killed by such a being!', the same person thought.
Of course, being killed by Shin would be better – he would kill in one strike if lucky and two or three strikes at most if unlucky. In the case of other beasts, they might as well be ripped apart and be kept alive even after that.
This was precisely what happened to them. While they ran away from the place and reached the city, they found tons of goblins and black wolves killing and eating many of them.
They were no exception, the wolves were given the task to kill everyone that would be present and they did the same without any exception.
Within a few minutes, all of them had been shredded into pieces and eaten alive. Their intestines were lying out despite them being alive – a cruel fate awaited them after all.
