Aella further asked everyone about their opinions yet again.
"We must obey master's orders..."
"So it is for the best that we stay here. But what do you guys think?"
"Should we let master alone?"
"I'm pretty sure that even with all of us combined, we cannot defeat a Supreme being..."
"But I think, with all of us there, we could at least give master enough time to escape...", Aella gave her point of view and asked everyone, what they thought the best thing to do was?
They took some time, to think about what they should do.
Terran and Raka knew that what Shin had told them earlier was right. Someone had to stay behind to guard the town, so no matter what everyone thought, at least some had to stay behind.
But according to Aella, some had to go with Shin as well.
This was a troublesome situation and no one could exactly decide what the best thing to do right now was.
"If only someone had a teleportation skill..."
"We could have teleported master Shin right away to help him, without neglecting his orders...", Aella mentioned this idea that she had in her mind.
When all the high-ranking beasts heard this, their eyes widened as their mouths remained open.
Indeed, if someone had a teleportation skill, it would end up being extremely useful.
The beasts started glancing at each other, expecting someone to have.
Needless to say, it was Deoras' time to shine.
"Ahem, I..."
But before he could say anything, Blanca ended up stating his point.
"May I say something?", Blanca asked first, cutting Deoras' sentence short.
"Yes, surely you can Sir Blanca.", Aella said politely.
"Hmm..."
"I think, we should refrain from going to His Highness' side even if we had a teleportation skill...", Blanca gave a totally different opinion.
This confused many of them.
They knew about a tiger's bravery and courage. No way was Blanca scared enough to run away or seek shelter in the town and not help Shin!
Everyone waited for him to explain himself.
"I haven't been with his highness for long, but with the number of interactions, I have been able to deduct a few things..."
"His Highness is too kind..."
"If he were to be attacked by a Supreme Being, then he would be able to escape easily, that is if he were alone."
"However, if we, his subordinates were to be with him, then it would only create troubles for him."
"Rather than escaping, he would think about protecting us."
"And this could lead to a disaster that none of us want to hear nor talk about.", Blanca concluded after saying this.
Everyone understood right away that staying away was the best. Aella didn't want to agree to this, but after hearing it from someone as experienced and wise as Blanca, she had to admit that she had been thinking in the wrong way.
'How could I possibly forget that master Shin is way more intelligent than us?'
'There is no way that he wouldn't have thought about this…'
She realized that Shin was aware of the possibilities and chances of their survival and thus took the said decision.
She decided that it was in their best interest in staying in the town itself, however, once again, before she could decide and tell everyone about this, Deoras raised his voice.
"Actually, I have a skill similar to the teleportation that you had asked for earlier…"
Everyone was quiet after what Blanca had said, but after hearing Deoras, everyone almost jumped in surprise.
The silence prevailed as everyone stared at Deoras.
Deoras, who thought about regaining his honor, was confused as well when he saw everyone just staring at him without saying anything.
Deoras thought that they didn't believe him and hence, he decided to explain what he meant by the statement he provided earlier.
"Listen, everyone, as you know, we shadow wolves have the capabilities to store ourselves inside a shadow."
"Because of this great attribute skill, we can hide from the enemies easily and survive longer…", Deoras was explaining his ability proudly, however, other members were confused because this had nothing to do with what they were discussing right now.
Terran was about to question and make Deoras shut his mouth when Deoras finally mentioned the teleportation which was actually the topic of discussion.
"So, we can even store objects in our shadows.", Deoras mentioned.
"Eh?", Aella was confused yet surprised at the same time when Deoras mentioned the storing ability.
It sounded so much like Shin's so-called spatial magic - Inventory.
Deoras was by no means lying.
All the shadow wolves did have the ability to store a few things inside their own shadows. The problem was, that the size of storage depended upon their strength.
The stronger they were, the bigger or heavier objects they could store.
With Deoras' strength right now, he couldn't store a living being inside his shadow right now. He explained it and further told them that only if he was at Lv.100 or at least above Lv.95 that this ability could fully be used. So, he couldn't possibly jump from Lv.70s to 90s in a day, and hence this talk was useless.
Everyone lost interest when he mentioned that he couldn't use the ability.
"Look here Sir Deoras, if you cannot use the ability right now, then what's the point of discussing it?"
"It was good that you shared one of your secrets with us, but right now, as you mentioned, we cannot do anything with that ability of yours.", Aella said in a calm voice, trying her best not to show how pissed off and annoyed she was.
And thus, with this, everyone realized how useless Deoras' words were and he thus failed to regain the respect that he had lost earlier.
Their discussions further continued as Aella asked Blanca to further elaborate a bit about the disadvantages of having others accompany Shin along with the advantages and Blanca explained it clearly to her.
Others too gained some insight.
Terran was definitely the oldest among all present here, but Blanca was probably the one with the highest level and wisdom when compared to all!
