Why do you think that skeleton guy spared us."
"Is that because of this guy? And what the hell was that." Lucas questioned as he looked towards shin who was lying a bit far from them, completely healed.
"This guy... He's too strong."
"I know right." And as they were talking shin's eyelids moved as he opened his eyes.
Confusion flashed in his eyes as he stood up. Though his body was still aching, there was no visible wound on his body. And he was sure there was no internal wound too.
And just as Shin was pondering about the matter suddenly, he heard footsteps.
And it seemed like Lucas and Eggman and all the other people in the prison too heard the footsteps. It was of three skeleton knights.
"You. Come out." As soon as the prison door was opened one of the skeleton knights said these words as he pointed towards the shin.
Shin wanted to attack but he felt it. The man in his body was being suppressed.
Shin gritted his teeth as he looked at the skeleton knights. As much as he wanted to blast their head away he couldn't.
Without his mana, he could probably fight them but he would be exhausted pretty soon.
In this case, he couldn't do anything but follow their orders.
Shin stood up and started to follow them. And after walking for the next five minutes they exited the building and now they were headed towards the castle that was near the prison house itself.
"There's no point in trying to escape. Our king has complete control over this area."
"Ya ya. I wasn't even planning to.", Shin didn't doubt that these people weren't lying since he previously came to know from Rekka that anyone with the possession of the gem of truth or lie can control 10 per cent of the desert.
All four of them continued walking and as they did shin frowned. Because he could sense it. The aura of truth was becoming denser and denser.
The main question Shin had was how was the skeleton king able to use the aura of truth. Shin didn't see any kind of staff he had in which the gem would be embedded or any other kind of item in which the gem could be embedded.
So how was the skeleton king using the aura of truth and its powers?
So he most probably embedded the gem in his arms or legs which enabled him in using the power of the gems.
Shin frowned as he continued walking forward.
As they were reaching closer and closer to the castle a thought entered his mind.
'System' As the thought ten semi-transparent screens appeared in front of him.
And shin's eyes were quickly attracted to the word [Restrained] every skill.
'Wait this means' Shin quickly tried to move something within him, and the feeling of mana flowing inside his body quickly gave him confirmation of what he was thinking, was indeed true
And soon they entered the castle. As soon as they did the aura of truth was practically trying to kill shin.
Cold sweat appeared on his forehead as he continued walking forward. Shin's lips trembled but with the very next movement, he bit his lips to calm himself down.
Blood fell on the floor as shin whipped his lips.
"Ha! You are finally here!" they appeared in the king's room where the skeleton knights bowed down and forced shin to bow too.
"Master, we bought this pest here." The guards.
"Well done." The skeleton king said as she looked towards Shin.
"So, as you might have already guessed I didn't bring you here to play. I am providing you with two options. Join my army or... Die." The skeleton king said.
"How about I provide you with the third option," Shin said. "I will whoop your ass, take the gem of truth and get out of here safely," Shin said with a serious expression as he started to circulate mana in his body.
"Well, looks like you have chosen the second option." The skeleton king said as he lifted his hand ready to break shin like a twig.
But...
Boom!
An explosion occurred. And from the explosion appeared... Lucas.
Shin smirked as he looked at Lucas. And he was sure they would be able to escape because... Lucas was above level 200!
Shin was previously shocked by this news but then he was forced to believe it. After Lucas showed his capability to remove the resistance to skill.
And the reason Lucas was currently collaborating was that he had a skill. He could detect any artifact under a certain radius.
And he found that there were two in this region which were too strong. One was from the castle.
Lucas looked towards the skeleton king and then his eyes trailed toward the shin. As soon as that happened he snapped his finger.
Shin quickly felt it. The resistance that was blocking his skills quickly disappeared.
"Old skeleton! Be ready to go to your afterlife!" Lucas screamed right after which he appeared next to the skeleton king
Lucas quickly coated his hand with a blue fire and launched it towards the skeleton king but the next movement...
...It stopped mid-air.
Lucas's eyes widened as he channelled more mana to his arm trying to punch the skeleton but it was of no use.
In the end, even after using all his mana, there was no use.
"Hmmm. Judging by the level of strength you using you must be at level 299, in fact at the pinnacle of level 299. But unfortunately, you are too far from reaching level 300. With your talent, it might as well take you a few centuries. Your soul is too weak." Skeleton king said with disdain full look
"You must be wondering what level I'm at. Well..." Shelton king paused before speaking. "I'm at a level beyond yours. Likes of you cannot even hope to reach. Cannot even imagine such a thing exists..."
"I'm a level beyond..."
