Chapter 391 Saving The Hero



The sand beneath the silver-haired man suddenly rose and covered his body, trapping him completely, leaving only his head exposed.

"Come on, escape!" the skeleton king taunted.

"As you wish," the silver-haired man replied. With a burst of blue flames from his body, he expected to burn the sand and break free. However, nothing happened. His face paled in shock and frustration.

"Khhhhhh!" he screamed as he struggled to break free from the sand's grasp.

"Is he somehow constipated?" Shin asked himself as he continued looking at the man.

"Hahahahah! Do you finally realize the strength gap between you and me? You are nothing but a mere slave, while I am the king!" The skeleton king said, enjoying the silver-haired man's struggle.

Despite his efforts, the man could not seem to break free from the sand.

As the silver-haired man struggled to break free from the sand, he could feel his frustration and anger building up inside him. "Enough is enough," he muttered to himself as he decided to take matters into his own hands. With a deep breath, he focused all his energy into his body and let the blue flames that surrounded him grow stronger.

The heat from the flames intensified, and the sand around him began to shift and crack. For a moment, it seemed as though he might succeed in breaking free, but then he felt a sharp pain shoot through his body. It was as if the sand had turned to stone, trapping him even more securely than before.

The silver-haired man watched in frustration as the sand around him had hardened into a rock-like structure. He tried to use his flames to break free, but to no avail. Suddenly, he had an idea. He thought that he could use his fists to punch his way out. But as he tried to move his hands, he realized they were still trapped. Frustrated, he used his head instead, hoping to break through the hardened sand. With a loud thud, his head hit the rock and he felt blood trickle down his face. Despite his efforts, the rock remained unbroken and he failed to free himself. 

Shin, who watched this happen, finally decided to help the young hero.

He stood up, planning to use his skill Dash after freeing his joints a bit, but before he could do so, the ground started to tremor.

*Zoom*

A mysterious being suddenly appeared from nothingness!

Shin watched in awe as the massive serpent emerged from the sand. Its scales were a shimmering gold, and its eyes were a piercing emerald green. But what caught Shin's attention the most was the red ruby on the serpent's head, gleaming like a fiery sun.

The serpent's fangs were razor-sharp, glistening with venom, and its tongue flickered in the air as if tasting the scent of its prey. Its body was as thick as a tree trunk, and its length seemed endless.

As the serpent slithered closer, Shin could feel the ground shaking beneath his feet. He reached for his sword, the one that was given as a tool to fight by the skeletons, but before he could draw it, the serpent let out a deafening roar that shook the entire arena.

Shin took a step back, his heart pounding in his chest. The serpent lowered its head, preparing to strike. Its ruby glowed even brighter, and Shin knew that he was in grave danger.

He braced himself for the attack, ready to face the serpent with all his might. But as the serpent lunged forward, something unexpected happened.

Shin watched in amazement as the silver-haired man moved swiftly, pushing him out of harm's way. He had never expected such a selfless act from someone who was trapped and struggling himself. The young hero may have been physically confined, but his spirit was free.

For a moment, Shin was reminded of the wolf brothers, who had betrayed Kira, their own brother, when he needed them the most. But watching the silver-haired man's brave and noble act, Shin felt a glimmer of hope for humanity.

As he regained his composure, Shin looked at the young hero with newfound respect and admiration. "Thank you," he said sincerely. "I didn't expect you to help me while you're still trapped."

The silver-haired man smiled weakly. "It's the right thing to do," he replied. "I may be trapped, but my spirit is free. And I will not let anyone suffer if I can help it."

Shin nodded, feeling grateful to have met someone like him. In a world full of betrayal and selfishness, the silver-haired man's act of selflessness gave Shin hope that not all was lost.

Shin was about to thank the young hero, but before he could those words, the serpent all of a sudden, swallowed the man.

Shin's eyes remained closed for a second with a weird confused face, as if asking, 'What the fk did just happen?'

The skeleton king started to laugh.

"HAHAHA!"

"And that's how you foolish humans die! HAHAHA!"

Instead of displaying sorrow or anything else, Shin, after hearing the king's words, smirked and laughed back.

Seconds after that, he ran towards the serpent.

As Shin charged towards the serpent, his muscles bulged and his eyes narrowed into a fierce gaze. "You messed with the wrong guy," he growled, before grabbing onto the serpent's jaws with both hands.

The serpent writhed and thrashed, trying to shake Shin off, but he held on tight, his grip like iron. "You won't defeat me that easily," he grunted, his voice strained as he pushed the jaws apart.

Finally, he managed to pry open the serpent's mouth wide enough to jump inside. The darkness was suffocating, but he could see the silver-haired man struggling to break free from the serpent's stomach. "Hang on," Shin shouted, determination etched on his face.

As he fought his way towards the man, the serpent's body coiled and twisted around him, trying to crush him. "Is that all you've got?" Shin taunted, his fists flying as he landed blow after blow on the serpent's scales.

The skeleton king watched in disbelief, his expression turning from amusement to fear. "How can this be?" he muttered, his voice shaking. "He's just a human!"
