"Wait, when did this guest of yours come here? I'm here for the past twenty minutes. Did he come here a day ago, or perhaps a century ago?"
"No, he came thirty minutes ago." Shin's eyes started to twitch even more as he had the urge to smack some sense into the old bones.
"Damn it! I need to go and find the wolf." Shin said. "Lead me to the door."
"Yes... But before that... Please promise me you will come to meet us." Shin felt as if he was imagining things. The robust-looking skeleton's flaming eyes looked like puppy eyes.
'This skeleton... He is trying to act cute. What am I? His boyfriend.' Shin joked and then looked toward the skeleton.
"I promise that I will come once again to meet you all. Now could you please lead me to the door?"
"Of course." Junsaid and in the next movement red light flashed once again. By now shin was already used to it.
They quickly appeared in front of the red door and surprisingly it opened.
"If you can open the door, then why can't you leave it?" As soon as asked the question Jun became bitter.
"I can open the door but cannot exit it. If we try to then souls will be damaged. This won't kill us of course but put us to sleep for a few more centuries. One of our Foolish skeletons tried its d still hasn't woken." Shin genuinely felt sad and swore in his heart that he would try to find a way to help them.
Shin then walked out the gate and found himself to be in a completely random place. Though he was still in a desert.
He started running around the place trying to find a certain wolf.
his mana as far as he could while simultaneously activating his skill [All seeing eyes].
Unfortunately, he couldn't find anyone. Shin decided to rest for a bit. For now, he had a doubt in his mind.
He started running as fast as she could and after five minutes of his travel, he found the kingdom in which he almost lost his life. This confirmed his suspicion.
The gate could be opened anywhere as long as the person had the key. And if Jun would open the gate, it would open in random places but that would be within the desert of the western terrain.
'If getting the key was as easy as killing four undead chameleons which weren't even above level 100, why didn't the skeleton king kill the chameleons himself and take the key? Since his kingdom is within the desert he could've opened the gate and taken the gem of lie. He is definitely cunning and smart, though he dosen't have a brain.
And why didn't he chase me when I came out? When I entered the kingdom I saw some of the skeletons going out and coming in. If they could then why didn't the skeleton king come out and chase him? This is strange, too strange. Argh!' Shin felt as if his brain would explode if he thought about anything anymore.
"Well looks like I have to go back." Shin quickly brought the key from the inventory and poured his mana into it.
And just like the last time, the key greedily started to suck mana from his body.
And after a while, the inscriptions on the key started to glow as it started to become bigger. And after a few more seconds it became as big as a spear.
And ten meters opposite to it materialized a door with many inscriptions.
Shin pushed the key, which like a spear tore through the air and splattered the same around it inserting itself into the keyhole and twisting the door.
Shin quickly entered the gate and quickly and was greeted by king Jun who was sitting on his throne.
"Dear friend. I have come here to fulfill my promise "
"Pure bullshit." Kim jun said as he looked toward Shin.
"Listen to m-"
"Utter bullshit."
And after arguing funnily King jun finally decided to listen to him.
"Will that wolf you talked about will come once again."
"Ya, he will come tomorrow." Listening to him veins bulged on shin's forehead.
"Ok, I will stay the whole night here itself."
Shin said as he lay on the floor. He acted as if he was sleeping, but he wasn't. His suspension still hadn't gone down.
But just as he was pretending to sleep certain thoughts entered his mind.
'Lucas, he was keeping the skeleton king busy. What if he does?' Lucas sensed that the skeleton king was strong than him but not by a greater margin. But little did he know that was all the plan of the skeleton king to lure them all.
Shin gritted his teeth. He even thought about three other prisoners and Eggman, who was still there.
Shin was frustrated. He stood up and used his skill [Hymn of the dragon].
As soon as he did that the shadow dragon appeared.
"What's the matter kiddo? Are you in any kind of trouble?" The shadow dragon questioned to which Shin shook his head
"Then what is it? What me to sing Ryme." Shadow dragon locked but shin didn't reply. Instead, seriousness flashed in his eyes.
"Shadow dragon. Do you think I should go back to that kingdom?."
"You mad bro? You wanna die. Then go ahead." For a second the shadow dragon thought that shin was joking but his serious expression already explained that this was no joke.
"Sigh. Why do you wanna go back."
"Well, there are some people who risked their lives so that I could escape."
"And what will you do by going there? Include yourself in the name list of dead people."
"Well, I..."
"That isn't the smartest thing you can do. Instead, train and become stronger. And I'm sure he won't kill those people. I know his type of people very well. The ones who are arrogant and always search for entertainment because they haven't seen anyone stronger than them and have lived too long. They are the biggest egoist. And don't worry even if he kills you can take revenge after a few centuries of training."
