Chapter 190: Killing With A Single Attack

Shin decided to go with Kerin so that it would be much easier to kill any and all those who would oppose him. By now, he had started to trust Kerin completely, and even if Kerin were to do something that Shin hadn't predicted, he could easily defend himself.

He was several times stronger than those humans after all and without a doubt, he would dominate the entire Kingdom.

The fall of a single human kingdom would be a fatal blow to humanity and could easily destroy the balance of power that humans had maintained. Well, it was their fault, to begin with for not making Loria stronger.

Money can attract many and it did attract many however because there were fewer chances of getting higher ranks because of the non-availability of many strong monsters or threats, the adventurers who aimed for fame more than fortune went to other countries.

Also, those who wanted adventure more than money, went far away from Loria, though, the greedy ones who did no work stayed back, and probably this weakened the Kingdom.

The king was to be blamed for it because he didn't use the money wisely. One cannot satisfy his hunger with money alone - it would be food and an adequate supply of the same that could stabilize their daily life.

The king missed that and the ministers didn't come forward to mention any of this. Though Kerin did start reform and norms to increase the food exchanges, they were in the initial stages!

Therefore, Loria was arguably the weakest human kingdom in the present situation!

"Kerin, I've changed my mind."

"Take me with you to the place where this lousy king and his greedy ministers reside.", Shin said with a glare.

"Y-yes.", Kerin nodded his head.

Well, Kerin was a human and he would not want his own kin to die. He approached Shin because of the same reason, to begin with, but what made him trust Shin?

Shin might be cunning and wise to prevent the loss of many, however, how did Kerin ensure that he wasn't evil?

The answer was quite simple - it was because he had heard about Shin earlier.

A white wolf that had the power to transform into a flame demon and kill almost all the elite soldiers of one of the strongest human kingdoms - Lenovia - this news had spread far and wide!

There was no human nation left that didn't know about this matter. To be precise, the news was forced to be spread among everyone and it was done by - the Elf Celestial.

While he sat back and watched everything happen, he decided to spread the news to others too. He was enjoying the show as he grabbed his popcorns and watched Shin move forward with his ambition - What was on his mind anyway?

Kerin mounted the horse and while picking up Shin as if he was nothing.

All the wolves were watching this with a startled expression.

'Uh, I thought that he purposefully took a small appearance so his weight should be more. Looks like he really is a pup.', the shadow wolf general said this to himself.

Argant was grinning when Kerin picked Shin up as if he was nothing.

Even Shin asked himself, 'Am I that light?'

"Is it ok if I wrap you in this cape.", Kerin asked.

He didn't want others to see that he was with a monster since the guards wouldn't let him enter the castle.

Shin allowed to do that right after which they left.

Though, just before leaving, he ordered, "Stand by and don't attack anyone while I'm away."

"Of course, if anyone tries to attack you, you may defend but don't kill anyone."

Kerin and Shin then soon vanished. Of course, there was no soldier nearby to report what had happened.

No one had seen it anyway so there was nothing to worry about.

Soon enough, Kerin arrived at the castle walls where the soldiers allowed him without any check or hesitation.

He then soon entered the castle and then marched towards the King's Hall where the king would take care of issues. The ministers and the king were present there at the moment and were thinking about what should be done.

"Sir Kerin is entering!" - the guards announced.

'Huh?'

'He is back already?', Rostold was startled a bit.

The king was surprised to see him return too.

Kerin was absent for a mere 20 minutes so it was shocking indeed.

But what surprised them more was the thing that Kerin was carrying while having it wrapped in his cape.

"Why did you return so soon Kerin? And what is that thing in your hands?" - the king asked.

"Forgive me your highness.", Kerin said while gritting his teeth.

"Huh?", the king failed to understand what Kerin meant by forgiveness but there was no need for him to think since he came to know it soon enough!

Yes, the moment Kerin kept the 'thing' down and removed the cape, Shin jumped furiously towards the king only to pin him down.

"Wha-", the king was completely shocked by seeing a pup upon him.

He didn't fall due to Shin's weight, it was more because he was startled when Shin suddenly jumped towards him.

"This is-"

'Ding'

[ You have used the skill Bite ]

*crunch*

And with that one attack, the king's head went missing!

Yes, Shin completely ate the king's head by biting it off and directly swallowing it while chewing only a bit.

'I was right, the dexterity of my teeth has increased, or else chewing the skull would make no sense.'

He was right, the dexterity of his entire body had increased tremendously, however, this sudden boost was also thanks to the bite skill which would automatically increase the dexterity temporarily!

"And the king is down.", Shin said while licking the blood that was dripping down his mouth.

The ministers were baffled by what had happened. The same was with Kerin, he never knew that Shin would finish the king without even talking once!

"K-Kerin!"

"What type of monster have you brought!?", Rostold shouted.
