Chapter 466 Oni

Chapter 466 Oni

Shin and the certain individual, along with all his followers, teleported at the center of the forest, just outside the town.

The shadow wolves were the first to run towards the town right after teleportation, and Shin, who stood there, remained in confusion. Nervousness was his companion at the moment as he gulped large chunks of saliva again and again.

After all, in front of him were destroyed homes and caves - everything shattered to pieces.

From one ruin to the other, Shin was now back home, but there was no one to greet him.

"MASTER!" Deoras, who had gone ahead, screamed as tears drenched his face.

Shin took bigger strides, closing the gap and arriving closer, only to find the crying Deoras with his head raised towards the sky. It seemed as if he was mourning.

"Deoras?"

"Master... everyone is dead."

That was something Shin didn't expect to hear. Dead? Who? Everyone?

His entire body trembled at the thought. He wanted to dismiss Deoras' notion but failed to. After taking a few more steps, he finally arrived in front of a large crater, and in that crater were the bodies of countless beings - all belonging to Shin's clan.

"No..." he muttered to himself as his gaze moved from one wolf to the other, and one goblin to the other.

"No way!"

As Shin found it hard to believe, his gaze landed on Blanca and Terran, who were just side by side.

The moment he saw them, he jumped from his place towards the crater, landing on some random bodies. He ran like a mad person and arrived where Blanca and Terran were.

"No..." he knelt on the bodies, slowly moving both his arms and touching them.

Their bodies were torn in the middle, and their furs were painted in red. The claws were ripped apart, and there were many arrow wounds, along with nails that stuck deep into their bodies - it seemed as if they were tortured.

"I shouldn't have gone away..."

"This is my fault..." Tears drenched his pale face. A lot of it entered his mouth, but most drizzled down his neck.

The crying caused him to sweat. And he felt his inner body burn with inextinguishable flames.

The shadow wolves were howling and crying in the same way behind him. However, as for the individual...

"This..." The individual who stood back watched the scene with interest.

He hadn't uttered a single word till now. However, weirdly enough, Shin's act and the bodies intrigued him.

'Why is he acting like that?' He tapped his chin as his curiosity rose.

'He surely can tell that these are fakes, can't he?'

Yes...

The bodies in front of Shin right now were fakes. They were close to real copies - dummies created by a certain someone to help the clan evacuate.

"Shin..." - the individual used telepathy to communicate.

Shin didn't respond despite the voice invading his mind. He surely did hear but neglected it. He did that only until the individual finally mentioned it.

"You do know they are fakes, don't you?"

The moment this echoed in Shin's head, the tears halted. noVe(LB(In

'Fake?', Shin thought to himself.

"Did you just say they were fake?" Shin used telepathy as well, asking the question.

But right as he spoke that, a bolt of lightning coursed down from the skies towards him.

BOOM!

Another explosion followed.

"Petty insect, how dare you interrupt me?"

Lesil's roar transformed into a gust of wind that blew past a few of the corpses in the crater. It was almost as if a tornado was about to be created at the place.

This wind blew past the clouds of dust, revealing the individual who stood unscathed.

"What!?" Lesil was rather surprised to see this.

He was pretty sure that the attack hit him, and he didn't have enough time to erect a barrier, yet he remained unscathed. Just how in the world was that possible?

"Don't be surprised, Lesil... my friend over there is in his weak phase, and to protect him, I had to put up a barrier..."

"But for me... pfft, your attacks are nothing but little tickles."

The individual raised his gaze, staring right at Lesil who continued flapping his wings. Anger surged in him after hearing that.

"Know your place, damn plebeian!"

"Just because you avoided the attack due to luck, you started to act big and mighty?"

"You should know better than angering me!" Lesil roared again.

"Ugh, what can you possibly do? Tickle me again?"

"ENOUGH!" And with this, Lesil activated his domain!

"I, the Supreme Celestial Lesil, in my authority, curse you with eternal lightning!"

A semi-spherical dome-shaped translucent barrier filled with energy expanded from Lesil's talon. It expanded in all directions, covering everyone in its path.

It was Lesil's domain.

Shin could instantly tell the effects the domain had as he was engulfed within it.

*Ding*

[All your stats have been reduced by 50%.]

[HP and MP recovery is reduced by 50%.]

[The passive skill Shock Resistance is restricted.]

Of course, this was nowhere near the effects of the domain. A large number of clouds gathered right above. They packed a lot of lightning bolts and were ready to strike at any moment.

"Beg for forgiveness, fool, and I might just spare you."

It felt as if Lesil was giving one last opportunity, but no, he just wanted to see them grovel. He would continue with the plan anyway.

Leave groveling; the individual seemed rather nonchalant, sighing at the situation.

"Sigh..."

"Lesil, really? Is this why you were so confident?"

"Huh?" Lesil was confused about why he was so unworried, but it became all too apparent very soon!

"Well, let's see whose domain is stronger."

"I, Oni, the Ancient Monarch of Flames, curse you to burn in Hell-Fire!"

"..."
