Chapter 58 - [ The Biola Clan No Longer Exists ]

Shin was in the same state for about eight hours. His body did start to feel light and he gained his strength back slowly, but he was still weak.

He was quite foolish to do such a thing earlier. He almost died!

Well, the system was good enough to ave him by giving him advises, but who knows another such reckless behavior could cost him his life!

Regardless, eight hours had passed by and all the poison inside his body was completely destroyed. But he was still not awake probably;y because his body was weak.

In any case, he was tired probably by constantly fighting against the poison.

Whatever it may be, he wasn't awake yet. It was already late in the evening. Thanks to his own idiocy, he failed to explore any more of the forest. Needless to say, he failed to even complete the mission.

'Lub Dub'

'Lub Dub'

'Lub Dub'

His heart was pounding loudly. The blood pressure was good enough. His body was back to its normal health.

Well, he might have been even now, but the weakness was quite less so it was fine.

He finally opened his eyes after a whole ten hours!

He turned his head here and there, after sitting upright.

"Where am I?", he asked himself.

He was a bit dizzy. He looked at the flowers nearby and then recalled what had happened.

"The heck! I thought I was gonna die!", he exclaimed while swallowing a large amount of dry saliva.

"Phew, I shouldn't be so reckless...", he realized his foolishness and thank God that he decided not to repeat what he did earlier.

He could see that the sun was still in the sky but it was soon going t be dark. The sunset made the sky quite beautiful.

It was looking reddish. Shin admired it for a while and then started to walk back towards the Biola Clan.

He used the navigation system to locate the place.

"System, mark Biola clan in the map."

'Ding'

[ The clan that you specified no longer exists ]

"Huh...?"

Suddenly a rather surprising and weird notification popped up. Shin was confused by seeing that.

"What do you mean by that?", Shin asked for which the system didn't give any answer.

"I'm asking you to locate the Biola clan!", Shin specified again. But no matter how many times he tried, the result was the same.

[ The clan that you specified no longer exists ]

"No longer exists?", that was the most confusing out of all.

Indeed, if the system had said 'Cannot find' or 'Out of range', it would be understandable, but it was specifically saying 'No longer exists.'

Something was cl.i.c.k.i.n.g in Shin's head. It was as if he was getting the answer to his question. But he denied believing that.

"The whole clan got demolished?", that was what his mind said, but the chances for it were nearly nil.

After all, Kira was present there. Aaron was no less either and Siara was also one of the best. So it would be highly impossible to demolish an entire clan, basically two clans namely Biola and White wolf clan!

*gulp*

Now Shin's only concern was to return and find out for sure why the system was showing such a notification.

Of course, he followed his own footprints which he had left while walking earlier, but those vanished soon.

It wasn't sandy completely. The area was filled with an abundant amount of grasses so the little clue that was present was also of no help right now.

It was soon dark and now it would be harder to find the footprints if any, but contrastingly enough, a bigger clue was found.

"What the-"

He could still see the sky to be a bit red. In fact, the red light was coming from a particular direction, that is, right ahead of him.

It was quite weird because he could even see clouds like black smoke forming in that particular area.

Indeed, he was in a forest due to which he couldn't see exactly for which he used his mind to transform into a Half-Dragon.

After doing that he jumped as high as he could. He ended up being higher than the trees nearby.

"What the heck!? Why is that area covered with fire?", Shin was awed.

He could stay in the air only for a moment, for as long as the jump carried him up.

While using his little knowledge, he transformed back into a little pup thanks to which his weight got reduced and he stayed in the air for a little longer. Due to that, he was able to analyze what he was seeing better.

"That area..."

"Isn't that the area where the Terrain of the Biola clan lied?"

Shin finally realized that what he had been fearing or thinking about came true. Probably the terrain was attacked!

The fire was proof for what he concluded. But then again, that could be an illusion.

It was the best to know by going back so he used the skill Dash to rush back as soon as possible.

He ran quite fast and just before arriving at the terrain, he felt another presence nearby.

"Who?", he turned his gaze towards his left.

'ZzzD'

The bushes moved vigorously. Shin had no idea who it was, but he was sure that it was something weak because its presence was almost nil.

But it was too early to conclude anything. The beast or whatever could be concealing its presence and might have been pretending. So Shin was on his guards.

He asked again, "Who?"

'Dab'

The sound of something falling on the ground was heard.

Shin failed to understand that and started to walk slowly but steadily towards the bushes.

He slowly moved the bushes only to find the unexpected. A wolf that was half burnt was lying on the ground.

He had no idea who it was. It definitely didn't look like Siara nor like Kira or any other strong wolves since it was quite smaller in size. It didn't even seem to belong to the White wolf clan.

"Are you alright?", he asked and started to use the skill 'Heal'on the wolf.

In a moment he was able to heal all the injuries that the wolf had suffered but it still didn't show any movements.

Indeed, no more movements were seen, not even breathing movements.

He thought about taking a look at its status when he found one thing that confirmed that the skill Heal would have no more effect at all.
