Chapter 251 Void Tiger Spirit

*yawns*

"…"

'And they were supposed to protect me…', he looked at the shadow wolves who fell asleep near him.

Well, he couldn't exactly blame them because they were tired too. But abandoning their jobs in such a manner could cost a life. If they be careless again and again, the result would tend to change.

But he knew that they would absolutely obey him no matter what, so them sleeping all of a sudden seemed suspicious.

'I should wake them up and ask…', he was curious.

Actually, out of the three, if one or two were to sleep and the other was to guard, then they would be able to guard throughout the night by changing shifts. This would be the perfect situation.

But considering the fact that all of them were asleep, he realized that either they had been put into sleep by someone or they smelt or ate some sleeping potion.

The second was highly impossible since they wouldn't eat something carelessly. So the only conclusion that Shin could think of was that they were put to sleep by someone.

And just as he was wondering this, he saw a shadow in the fog.

Since it was early in the morning, there was a lot of fog that covered his vision.

The shadow slowly approached Shin. For a moment, he was startled.

But then he thought about using his all-seeing eyes, however, he suddenly recalled the privilege that he got after attaining the title of Ruler of the Mountain Grekko.

He closed his eyes right after which, he could feel the presence in a much better manner. Also, it was as if he could see from the perspective of different things.

Yes, when he closed his eyes, it was as if, his point of vision lowered as he became a rock. Next, when he tried to become a tree, his point of the vision was quite elevated.

Of course, he was able to see through the fog because of this.

He right away found that it was Blanca approaching him.

He opened his eyes as Blanca finally became visible.

"Ah, master, you are awake?", he asked.

"Yes, but…"

"What are you doing here?", Shin asked.

Blanca then explained what had happened.

When Shin and the shadow wolves left the mountain, Blanca thought about waiting for their next visit. He was returning to his cave when suddenly he felt Shin's presence again.

He still had the title of God of Mountains so obviously, he could feel the presence better in the mountains. And someone as strong as Shin's presence was much easier to detect for him.

He immediately rushed down to see if he returned for something only to find him resting and the shadow wolves guarding.

After chatting with them, he realized that the wolves had gotten used to day life instead of nightlife, like Shin.

But Blanca still was much more active during the night. So he said that he would keep a watch while others sleep.

The shadow wolves were refuting, but then Shin ended up speaking and approving that. Precisely due to that, the shadow wolves slept as well.

"Huh?"

"I said?", Shin was surprised with what Blanca narrated.

"Yes."

'Wait…'

'Did I literally sleep talk?', Shin was somewhat embarrassed right now.

He had never done this before so he wasn't sure what had happened. But oh well, he hid the fact that he talked in his sleep.

"Didn't you, master?", Blanca asked.

"Ah, yes. I did."

"I forgot because I was a bit dizzy since I woke up.", Shin said while changing the course of discussion.

Blanca nodded his head as if he understood what Shin was talking about.

He then said, "Then master, what about them?"

"Shouldn't we wake them?", he asked.

Shin shook his head and said, "Let them sleep for a bit more."

"They must have been too tired for sleeping so soundly."

"When I will be ready to leave, I will wake them up.", he said.

Blanca then asked, "Then master, should I hunt and bring something for you to eat?"

The moment he mentioned that Shin recalled that he had a lot of meat in the inventory. He also recalled the fact that he hadn't given any meat to the wolves that went ahead without him.

'Ah…'

'That was a miscalculation…', he closed his eyes as he thought this.

'I wonder if they would have eaten anything yesterday…'

'I mean, if they really wanted to eat, they could always hunt…'

'However the forest of Islea is at least ten times much more dangerous than the forest of Thuren.', Shin thought as he sat.

'But Deoras and his wolf packed were raised in that forest.'

'Although it was not from this side of the area, they would be aware of at least some details regarding the forest.'

'Hmm…'

'Whatever, I will just apologize and give them a lot of meat when I rejoin.', Shin decided.

"-aster."

"Master!"

"Huh? What!?", Shin was surprised when Blanca jumped and landed in front of him.

"Why weren't you responding, master?", Blanca asked.

"Ah…"

"Nothing…"

"I was just thinking something.", Shin said.

"Then what about food? Should I go and bring or-", he asked.

But before he could complete it, Shin said, "Yeah sure, go and get something delicious."

"Though, before that, there is something I want to ask.", Shin said.

"Yes, master?"

"Do you really think that the Boars would have safely reached the town that I am building?", Shin asked.

Yes, Shin had sent the Boars towards the village. He couldn't possibly take them to the clan wars and couldn't abandon them since he had decided to take them under him.

That was why he decided to send them to the town.

"Yes, don't worry master."

"I have used the skill Void Tiger Spirit…"

"As long as I'm alive, a tiger spirit as strong as me would protect them until they arrive.", he said.

"I-"

"I see…", Shin nodded his head.

Right after that, Blanca left to hunt and get something to eat.
