"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.
As soon as Shin vanished, all the responsibility was shifted to Deoras.
Now, he had to make sure that all the shadow wolves stayed safe throughout the journey until Shin returned.
While Shin was with them, it was as if he wasn't under any pressure.
Even when the gigantic Fire Ball hit them, he wasn't scared. That was because he believed in Shin and his strength.
But now, he was forced to shoulder all the burden of the shadow wolves.
"Come on, let's go."
"His Highness has ordered us to stay safe while travelling, so make sure that none of you gets hurt."
"Yes leader!", everyone raised their voices and walked faster.
A day passed...
Deoras and the gang of Shadow Wolves had entered another forest and were mid-way through it.
The Dead Forest, also known as Yamaris Forest, was a forest dedicated to the Ancient Supreme Celestial Yama.
The previously mentioned twelve Supreme Celestials were the new ones, who were promoted to Supreme Celestial ranking only a few thousand years ago.
As for the Ancient Supreme Celestials, it could be said that they were the ones who had created the world and established Law and Order.
Kira also received his name directly from Yama, but how? That's a story for another time.
In any case, Deoras and the other shadow wolves had entered the forest and had crossed almost half of it. It was all peaceful as there were no beasts above Lv.50 in the forest and they didn't dare to show up in front of Deoras.
However, this peace didn't last for long.
A bunch of humans were camping in the middle of this forest, or to be precise, a little closer to the exit.
Deoras sensed them and immediately asked his group to stop.
He wanted to make sure that he didn't attract any attention and for that, he decided to take a different route.
They slowly turned the other way and started walking. They were successful in bypassing this group of humans who seemed like adventures, but fie, they ended up barging into the camp of another group - a much larger group!
Kingdom Bona is a small kingdom situated close to the West Terrain.
It has one-fourth the number of inhabitants when compared to Levonia.
Since the kingdom is close to the west, where the Great Desert lies, often, there is no good harvest for the Kingdom. Therefore, the soldiers are usually sent to the forest to hunt a lot of beasts and bring them back.
They would then store the beasts using preservation magic and would then slowly satisfy the hunger of many!
Of course, even if the number of people was less when compared to Levonia, the number, in general, was quite large.
Over 15,000 people lived in Bona out of which, 5000 were vegetarians who depended only on the little harvest and the rest were all meat lovers.
As the kingdom Bona was surrounded by four forests, hunting and bringing back about a thousand beasts wasn't all that hard - though, the soldiers had to be sent quite frequently. freewe bnovel.com
The camp into which Deoras and his gang barged belonged to the soldiers of Bona - especially higher-ranking soldiers!
Out of all the four forests that surrounded Bona, the Yamaris Forest had stronger beasts, of Lv.40 and above.
Therefore, the soldiers needed to dispatch had to be above Lv.40 so there was no exaggeration in saying that the soldiers were special and trained.
"Wolves!", one of the soldiers who was patrolling shouted as he saw two to three shadow wolves that had mistakenly barged into the camp.
It was evening, so there was still some sunlight, making the shadow wolves visible.
Also, the fact that many trees in the Yamaris Forest didn't have leaves enabled the sunlight to reach the bed of the forest. There was not much darkness and thus, it was hard to hide.
The soldiers that were resting immediately picked up their swords and rushed towards the soldier who alarmed them.
About twenty-five wolves stood in front of them.
It included Deoras who led all of them.
The soldiers started to grin.
"Hahaha."
"The prey has come to us."
"We won't have much work to do now.", one of the soldiers said while the other laughed.
Deoras, without making any noise, glared at the soldiers.
He was analyzing one by one, every one of them.
But a few soldiers were sceptical.
One of them asked, "Are you sure?"
"Look at their fur..."
"It's black."
"Aren't they the strongest type of wolves?"
Some men who were laughing paused after hearing this. However, the one who had laughed first out of all, said with his sword unscathed, "Black or not, they are still wolves. A Wolf will remain a wolf!"
And these simple yet useless words gave others foolish confidence in thinking that humans are the strongest always.
They pointed their swords at the wolves.
"Get ready to be minced.", said the initiator of the confidence.
Deoras on the other hand looked at his mates too.
He nodded his head slightly.
A few minutes ago, when that one soldier alarmed the rest, Deoras uttered a few words.
"His Highness told us not to attack humans unless they attack us."
"So, if they begin their attack, then do not hesitate to display your most powerful moves.", he said as he growled slightly.
A few soldiers moved forward which became the signal for the wolves to begin their rampage.
The shadow wolves unleashed a number of their skills, almost immediately beheading some of the soldiers that rushed towards them.
"Aoooooo!"
The sound of many wolves made the earth tremor. The humans who had come to hunt them ran as far as they could due to fear. It was something unimaginable.
