Chapter 422 Chaotic Future
Chapter 422 Chaotic Future
Finally, everything was once again peaceful but it wasn't going to stay the same way forever
Shin sighed as he looked around the rubble and then towards the new skeleton king, King Jun.
And so now it was finally the time to get the heavenly wolf family.
Shin smiled as he looked toward King Jun. Suddenly his power was boosted.
Even though his contribution to the battle wasn't much it still gave him Exp.
His level became 95.
And he still had many rewards but decided to check them and accept them later.
And after some minutes king Jun invite Shin and others for a discussion.
"Thinking about holding a banquet. You, the people will be the main stars of it. How's my proposal?" King Jun said to which Shin shook his head and even others rejected the idea.
"I have to report everything to the leaders and the elders of the heavenly wolf family. It's very important and cannot be delayed." Mike said respectfully and even Shin apologized saying.
"As you can see I'm too weak and I even have to meet the heavenly wolf family regarding a very important matter. I'm sorry, but I can't attend this banquet." Shij apologized to which king jun nodded his head in understanding.
"No worries. I understand this feeling. When I was still alive and young, I used to feel very weak too. Train and become stronger faster!" King Jun encouraged Shin which brought a smile to his face.
"... And entertain me more" King Jun shamelessly added die to which the smile on Shin's face disappeared.
He just nodded and then looked toward Mike. "Well, small wolf. You can become stronger later, right now join the banquet." Mike said which confused Shin.
"I have to inform and ask permission from my elders so until that you and Orion enjoy here," Mike said.
"I have an important thing to say to you. You see many supreme celestials are behind my clan trying to destroy it. We are not asking the heavenly wolf family to fight for us but just help us." Shin described the scenario briefly due to which Mike's jaws were wide open. He couldn't believe what he just heard but in the end, he sighed.
"I cannot confirm anything currently. I will ask the elders. It depends on them."
He then proceeds to look toward Kai. Kai Top just nodded and then they started walking toward the gate.
Both of them walked out of the kingdom but five minutes later Kai once again turned into his spirit form and returned to Orion.
Shin looked toward Orion and then they looked toward, King Jun.
"The banquet will be held tonight!" King Jun said to which other skeletons started to cheer happily.
And after all the happy moments the skeletons finally started to adjust themselves to their new environment.
They started building new houses and retiring the ones that were broken due to the fight that took place earlier.
And now Shin, Orion, and another unwanted guest decided to stay in the room.
Yes, the frost dragon emperor still remained due to which it was still snowing in the kingdom.
"Sir, would you be kind enough to once again tell me why you didn't return?"
"Because I don't want to."
"Then why don't you form a contract with me."
"No"
"..."
"..."
Shin really wanted to smack the frost dragon but he just gave up. After all in front of this frost dragon, Shin was so fragile that he might accidentally kill Shin by existing too hard.
In the end, Shin, Orion, and the Frost dragon entered the giant building.
***************
In a very dark place, in the middle on top of a throne, a figure completely covered with darkness looking more like a shadow was sitting.
And beside him were other human-like figures standing. A lot of them stood there, at least more than twenty. They were leaders and the elders of the heavenly wolf family.
They looked toward Mike who had just appeared in the place.
"Report."
The elder said. Mike was tasked with bringing Orion back but what confused them the most was that when he entered the heavenly wolf family Orion wasn't beside him.
As soon as Mike heard the leader's words he started narrating everything that had happened.
About how he met another wolf who was with Orion. He didn't say the wolf's name.
He then handed them the two great artefacts that he had found on his journey.
"Gem of truth!" One of the leaders exclaimed unable to hold his excitement.
Mike nodded. And the other artefact was very amazing too.
"We know the way to use this artefact. It's written in our ancient contexts." Said the same leader with a load of excitement.
"If we can use the gem of truth then it will bring a great boost to our family." Said the current head shocking some of the leaders. They had never heard his voice, due to which some thought that he was mute. He had some deputies beside him who did the speaking for him.
It was the first time that he spoke, in a cold and nerve-chilling voice.
"Let's test it out right now." The current head said to which the leader that had exclaimed earlier excitedly used one of his skills. A pitch-black armor with many inscriptions on it, appeared in his hand
There was even a hole in its chest.
The hole was of the same size as that of the orb, as if it was made to fit in it.
Without wasting any time, he quickly placed the armor on a stand, as if displaying it to all and then lift the orb, moving towards it and placing it in the hole.
Suddenly the inscriptions started shining brightly but the next moment they dimmed until the light disappeared.
"What?!" Questioned one of the leaders as he looked towards the armor in confusion.
While not many knew what would happen by placing the orb, they did see a bright shine, a glow that engulfed the armor.
With the little knowledge that they owned, they thought that the armour could use the orb's powers, however, when the light faded, they found no change in the armor at all.
"Well, sigh. This happens when someone has already been chosen by the gem. But Mike, didn't you say that the wielder of the gem of truth was already dead?" The leader questioned, looking towards Mike.
"Yes,"
"Well, you did say there were others too on the battlefield. The gem must have chosen one of them." Unknown to them a certain wolf named Shin was grinning like a madman.
Because...

[Rewards for the main quest:]

[-> Brothers Of Judgement will join your side.]

[Failure:]

Shin only accepted the ownership of the gem of truth currently as he decided that he would accept the other rewards sometime later.
But obviously, the heavenly wolf family knew nothing about this.
"I think I know who might have the ownership of the gem of truth." Said Mike as he rubbed his chin.
"Who is it?"
"Well, there was a wolf who asked for our help." Mike described the entire situation going on with Shin and how he asked for help.
"We obviously decline." Said one of the elders quickly.
"But..."
"What is it?" asked the current head to which Mike gulped a large amount of saliva before speaking.
"His name is... Shin!"
Crackle! As soon as Mike said those words thunder from the sky passed through the barrier of the heavenly wolf family and struck him.
Mike was by no means disrespectful when he took Shin's name. Heck even everyone here calls out to their God, Shin, every day, hoping for a new and better beginning.
Never once did the thunder strike them.
So why did it now?
Having seen this, the current head who even in very dangerous and problematic situations didn't react, stood up.
"Heal him!" He exclaimed as he looked toward one of the elders who specialized in healing magic after Mike had been burnt a little.
The elder quickly dashed towards Mik kto heal his injuries.
Since lightning had struck Mike that meant that, he was telling the truth. The wolf God Shin was alive, and it could be possible that he was reincarnated into that small wolf Mike was talking about.
"Go bring that small wolf pup. I will meet him myself." The current head ordered Mike who bowed in front of him after being healed and then walked away.
Mike felt like the peace in the heavenly wolf family wasn't going to remain for much longer. The chaos would definitely descend upon them.
***************
Shin looked around the place completely speechless. After all, a lot of high-quality meat was served on the plate.
'They hunted all of this in one day?' Shin questioned himself.
The Frost dragon emperor looked around and started to complain.
"Why is there such garbage served to eat?", anger was visible on his face.
"If you don't want to eat, then return. Go back.", Shin stared at him as he said this, a large chunk of meat in his mouth.
"Never mind. It's very delicious." said the frost dragon emperor as he sat down and ate like a country bumkin.
The magnificent and invincible look of the frost dragon had long shattered in Shin's mind when he saw the frost dragon eating like an animal and when he spent more time with him.
Shin sighed as he shook his head and continued eating the meal in front of him.
As he was chewing the meat, he felt Orion's gaze on him.
"What's the matter?" Shin questioned.
"Why don't you once again transform into your human form?"
"I feel uncomfortable in it." Shin lied through his teeth.
"Sigh."
"What's the matter now?" Shin asked again.
"No, it's just that I can see a chaotic future," said Orion as he looked towards Shin. Even though his life was chaotic, he was sure it would be much more now.
