Chapter 105 - Balton: The Schemer And Trickster - Part 1

"Huh…?", he found something rather strange when he was about to leave.

He had missed it earlier, but now something became visible when his mind had been cleared of all those emotional thoughts for now at least.

"This is…", there was a net in the den.

Since the den was a bit dark, he failed to notice that because that too was black.

"What is this doing here?", he asked himself and approached the net which was a bit away from him, somewhat near the entrance.

'ZZDDDZZ'

All of a sudden an electric discharge was emitted from the net as soon as he placed his right forelimb on it.

Needless to say, it had no effect on him because of his unnatural resistance to shocks!

'Ding'

[ Due to the skill shock resistance, the electric discharge has no effect ]

That was to be expected anyway.

But now the question was, what would Shin do with the net?

"What the-", even he was surprised after seeing that.

"…"

"Don't tell me, they tried to capture Aella with this?", he asked himself.

Right after that, he thought for a minute or two and then ran out of the den.

He concluded that it was something that had happened in the past and for that, he had given appropriate punishment to the humans.

Due to that, he used the skill Dash and ran away, of course, he was fully recovered and all the stats were normal so there was nothing to worry about, for the time at least.

[ Meanwhile In a hospital, In Levonia… ]

"Sir Balton, are you alri-", Wendy paused as soon as he saw all the burns on his body.

Even Balton's face had been burned which made him look quite ugly.

*gulp*

Wendy was not the one to ask because he ran away as soon as he spotted Shin. Of course, one good thing he did was informing and sending the mages due to which Balton got to live perhaps, but despite that, the truth didn't change that he had ditched Balton!

Balton couldn't get angry anyway because he was in a bad situation. The healers were trying to heal him and the results could definitely be seen, but it wasn't much.

'It would be better if I talk in a supportive manner.', Wendy decided.

"That wolf punk!"

"We will take an entire army and hunt that f*king wolf!", was what Wendy said.

To this, Balton just smiled.

"Ouch-", of course, his skin seemed stiff due to which even a little smile hurt.

But anyway, there was a reason for which he smiled.

"We don't need to worry at all.", was what he said.

'Huh? I was trying to side him while saying this but he says that there is nothing to worry about?'

'Is he that afraid of it?', Wendy asked himself.

"He is going to die anyway!", was what Balton said with a fierce gaze.

His face was already destroyed, on top of that his crazy smile and fierce gaze made him look like some monster!

The moment Wendy saw him smile, he flinched.

'Just what the heck is he planning?', that was the question that lingered in his mind.

One thing was for sure, Balton was someone who held grudges. Although he prioritized his own life over others, he was someone who would crush his enemies brutally!

A human? No, he was inhuman indeed, from inside that is, and now thanks to Shin, he looked like one from outside too.

When Wendy heard Balton say – 'We don't need to worry at all.' – he was legitimately shocked because, for an instance, Balton didn't behave like himself.

But after seeing his sinister-like laughter, he was sure that whatever he imagined earlier was just some sort of illusion, Balton was the same as usual and there was no difference at all.

*gulp*

Wendy swallowed a large amount of dry saliva after flinching. His throat was dry and he could barely speak because of the evil aura that he sensed around Balton.

"Die…?"

"How can you be so sure, Sir?", Wendy asked.

"Haha, do you want to know?", he asked.

It was as if he was increasing the curiosity.

"Yes…", Wendy had seen it for himself how strong Shin was.

So when Balton said that he would die, it was as if he was completely sure.

How could such a strong beast die just like that? – this was the question that he repeatedly asked himself in his mind.

"Lian Plains…", Balton murmured with the lowest voice possible, of course, audible at the same time.

"Huh…?", this was the second time Wendy flinched.

The moment he heard that shivers ran down his spines.

"L-lian Plains…?", his voice was shaky at the same time too.

"Hahaha."

"I sent him to Lian Plains!", he laughed loudly.

For a moment, in Wendy's imagination, it seemed as if some devil was laughing.

"Those who harm me, won't live a peaceful life."

"But this beast actually dared to burn me, did it really think that I wouldn't strike back?", Balton laughed after saying this.

"I told him that the other white wolf pup ran away near that plains…"

"The funniest part is that he even believed me!"

"Hahaha!", he laughed again and again.

Wendy just kept his mouth shut after that and heard what he said.

He now knew that Balton was someone who wasn't to be messed with. No matter who it may be, if the person were to mess with Balton, then only hell awaited him.

But he was such a dirty trickster, he basically led Shin to believe what he said was the truth and schemed such a thing.

He was not just a muscle head, he also had the brains to scheme such things even when his life was in danger, perhaps, that's what a general should be capable of doing normally.

"Hahahaha!"

"…"
