The vulture flew away right after delivering the letter while the man continued to shed some more tears.

'Yes, we can finally be saved…', the person said to himself.

He stood up immediately after thinking that and then started walking again only to arrive near a valley.

The storm had stopped by now since he was no longer in the region of great Sand storms. Regardless, he entered the valley and kept walking for a few more minutes after which he came across a gate.

The valley was quite narrow. The sandy mountains on both sides were quite tall and if one tried to look at their peaks, it would feel as if they are touching the sky.

There was a large silver gate in between the mountains. It was stacked right in between them. It was so large and wide that it stretched from one end of the mountain to the other.

And there were two other men, standing in full armor and a spear, guarding the gate, one on each side.

Just as this person approached the gate, both of them almost immediately bowed.

"Greetings your highness.", they said.

"Aish, didn't I mention you not to call me that? That title only befits our God.", he said.

Both of them nodded their heads and said, "Please forgive us but unless he has returned, we have to refer you that way."

The man laughed and said, "Haha, fine then. I will accept it for now."

Right after that, he asked, "Come on now, will you open the gate or should I jump over it?"

"Eh? Yes. Of course, we will open it.", both of them stood up.

While one held the left side, the other held the right side of the gate and pushed it gently. The gigantic heavy gate opened with just a gentle push!

The man then walked slowly with his hands behind. His form was majestic, no one could say that this was the same man who was crying a few minutes ago.

After entering the gate, there were tons of people wearing some old clothes, that greeted him.

"Your highness!"

"Your Highness!"

All of them started to shout and dashed towards him. He dodged them swiftly while smiling and after waving his hand, vanished from the site.

And right after that, he arrived at the castle that was built in such a deserted place. The castle was built on a high area from where the king could gaze upon his people.

Also, it was to symbolize that a king is higher than his citizen.

"Your highness, you've returned.", a beautiful and gorgeous woman with light blue hairs wearing beautiful white royal clothes approached him.

"Yes.", he nodded his head as he removed his shirt.

The lady then took that shirt and hung it on the chair nearby.

She then touched his well-built muscular body and six-packs and asked, "Um, won't you join me right now?"

She asked this lustfully as if she was inviting him to her bed. But the man openly refused.

"Well, not today."

The woman's expression changed all of a sudden. After that, she hugged him from the back and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Did something happen, darling?"

The man then raised his head as he made eye contact with her and then said, "Our God…"

"He will soon be coming to save us."

Just as he mentioned this, the woman suddenly stepped back and started tearing up as well.

"You-"

"You mean to say that our God has been revived!?", she raised her voice.

"Yes, I think it is better to believe that…", the man said as strange hairs started growing out of his body.

"Then…"

"Does that mean we can finally go to the outside world?", the woman said as she too started growing weird hairs on her face and arms.

"Yes."

"Since this is what our God Shin said before passing away the last time, it will definitely come true.", the person's voice and appearance changed.

He suddenly turned into a gigantic wolf with brown fur. The woman also turned into a she-wolf with blue fur as they rubbed their bodies against each other.

*yawns*

After resting for quite some time, Shin woke up from his deep sleep.

He then looked around him only to find some lizards guarding along with the shadow wolves.

"Your Highness.", the shadow wolves quickly sensed Shin waking up and thus approached him.

They bowed their heads as they called him that.

"Your Highness? Since when did you start calling me that?"

"DIdn't you refer me as Master, earlier?", Shin asked as he yawned.

"Yes Your Highness, but as we heard that lizard call you with this title, we thought that it was much more befitting."

"We have relayed the message to other members of our clan and from now on, you will be referred that way, your highness.", one of the shadow wolves said.

"Sigh, it's not as if I care what you refer me as…", Shin yawned yet again.

After walking a few steps, he noticed Raka entering the den as well to great Shin.

He greeted in a similar manner. The lizards who were walking on two legs bowed and greeted Shin as well.

Shin nodded his head and just walked out only to find different beings in the swamp doing different things.

Some were either chatting with each other or some were just busy discussing some serious topic. But no matter who it was, they were doing something, at least, until they spotted Shin.

As soon as one of them saw him, he greeted with a loud voice, "Your Highness!"

Right after that, the remaining residents bowed their heads as well.

Shin greeted them and said, "I will be leaving soon towards the town…"

As mentioned earlier, the Arb Elves lived in the middle of the forest, however, the forest was vast, and thus was the middle portion of it.

To be precise, they weren't exactly in the middle. Yes, they occupied only a portion of the middle while the exact center was occupied with the swamp.

Shin knew it the moment he felt the rich mana here.

"I hope you all will accompany me to my town.", he said.
