Chapter 345 Departing Soon

A dwarf approached Shin and prevented him from hearing what the dark elves had to say.

"What's wrong?", Shin asked, further concerned.

He thought that the dwarf was going to mention something that was related to the Dark Elves, but he was wrong.

"Your highness, something big happened!", the dwarf said.

"Something big?"

"What exactly?"

"Your highness, just now, we received information that the fake body doubles that you had used to deceive everyone, perished."

Shin realized that the matter was pretty big.

He thought that the body doubles would last at least until he had departed towards the West Terrain, but it seems like they perished earlier.

He cannot do anything now as everyone present in the arena might have gotten the news about Shin's escape.

Everyone far and wide, who was watching the arena on the screen, would also come to know about this as it would have been broadcasted.

'This is troublesome…', Shin thought.

He had his head lowered and ended up indulging himself in a series of thoughts about what the best thing to do next was.

He had to go to the west terrain, but the beasts could end up marching any time soon towards the town.

He needed help. However, other than the Kingdom of Loria, there was no one that could help him.

'The situation is a mess…', he thought as he raised his head and stared at the Dwarf.

"That was a great piece of information indeed. You have my thanks."

Sometimes dwarves had the abilities like telecommunication or telepathy. The dwarf that rushed to inform Shin was one of those rare dwarves with the said ability and thanks to his info, Shin could now move faster.

Regardless, the dwarf merely bowed and then returned to his position.

The dark elves were still present there, waiting for the dwarf to leave so that they could beg for forgiveness yet even after he left, they couldn't as Shin seemed somewhat worried.

They waited for him to notice them. It took about two to three minutes before Shin finally stopped thinking about useless things.

He thought about leaving for the west terrain right away without wasting any further time.

He turned towards the dark elves and asked, "Alright, tell me, why are you being so apologetic."

The dark elves then began explaining their concerns.

Shin listened to them patiently only to realize that their worries were useless!

From the start, the dark elves had been thought to be the harbinger of bad luck. Clearly, right now, Shin's situation was bad and they thought that it was because of them that he was going through this.

In fact, they were so apologetic and sad that they had already decided to leave the clan if Shin desired to.

But here's the thing - even with or without them, Shin would have ended up being hunted.

It was not because of the dark elves that he came to this world, it wasn't them who made him choose all the paths that he had taken and it was by no means their wish that caused the Supreme Celestials to target Shin.

Shin stared at them for a few seconds and replied, "Shut your mouths and get back to the houses that were built specifically for you."

"Bad luck…"

"Bad luck it seems…"

"Remember, if you are the harbinger of bad luck, then consider me the destroyer of bad luck."

"As long as you remain with me, no one will dare to call you all with that fking name."

He was genuinely angry and tried to change the way they thought.

The dark elves didn't say anything else. The expressions that they made on their faces were more than enough to show how grateful they were.

They listened to Shin and went back to their homes.

As for Shin, he walked straight to his den, planning to leave once his MP had been restored completely.

It took only a few more minutes for his MP to restore completely right after which, he walked down again but this time, he found a lot of beasts, only the higher ranking ones and a few other named ones, standing in front of him.

"Your Highness."

"Master."

All of them greeted him.

He did think about their location earlier, but didn't bother to check as he was preparing himself to leave, both physically and mentally.

He looked at their concerned faces.

"Is something wrong…?"

"…"

'Sigh, I have asked the same question 3 times already…'

'I wonder how many times will I need to ask.'

"…"

And then, Aella and the rest of the group began to tell their concern.

The context wasn't much - just that, the majority of them wanted Shin to have at least one group tag along with him.

'Uh, when all of them are requesting then…'

Shin had no choice but to accept their request to keep their minds at ease.

"Alright alright. Since you requested, I will have only the shadow wolves accompany."

The shadow wolf group was the only group at hand that was the most agile when compared to the rest of the races like goblins.

Also, since they could hide in shadows, they were the perfect team to be chosen.

No one disputed and agreed with Shin's decision. Aella was somewhat glad and at ease when Shin accepted their opinion.

But anyway, he had no more time to spare and immediately announced…

"Gather all the shadow wolves within ten minutes. We will leave shortly."

Deoras informed the shadow wolves. The news about the shadow wolves leaving with Shin spread immediately. Also, they came to know that he was going to leave in a few minutes, hence, they left all their works, if any, and dashed towards the gates of the Lower Plaza to bid him farewell.

"Alright, we'll be leaving now..."

As mentioned, everyone had gathered to bid Shin farewell.

With the change in his decision, the entire gang of shadow wolves was also going to accompany him.

As for others, they would remain in the town.

Shin had already allotted tasks for various members that they had to do in his absence.

The tasks issued were:

"…"
