Deep inside of Shin

“Can we begin soon?”

A low and deep voice sounded out from a brown sculpture.

“Wait a little longer, Bayoun.”

Within the grey sculpture, Ker’Vrak said with calm tone.

“I’m itching to kill someone…!”

Lia said in an aggrieved tone, but she tried her best to keep herself calm.

“We are all…”

Mekina voice was hoarse and weak, but fury and anger could be sensed from her voice.

“Hehe…”

Ker’Vrak abruptly started laughing coldly, a grey light escaped his sculpture. Ker’Vrak stood in front of his sculpture, staring at the dark sculpture of Shin which covered in cracks.

Not long after, Shenya’s figure could be seen out of her sculpture. Behind Shenya’s back was a large dark batwing. She narrowed her eyes slightly, kneeling towards Shin’s sculpture.

“Little Shin, we will arrive shortly, hang in there…”

Her voice was warm and calm, she had already decided what she must do.

Shenya glanced at the other sculptures, only to see figures kneeling towards Shin’s sculpture with their heads lowered deeply.

Near the centre of the continent

A figure could be seen swiftly flying in the air, the figure was wearing a purple dress and held a silver haired youth in her arms.

“Shin, we are nearly there.”

Zura said in a hoarse voice, she had sweat running down her face, but she tried her best to speak in a warm tone and put on a smile on her face.

Shin who had his eyes closed opened them slowly, only to see Zura’s face near him. Shin didn’t panic, he used his arms to hug Zura and rub his face on Zura’s face.

“Zura…”

Shin didn’t care about the sweat, he felt calm and warm when staying in Zura’s embrace.

Zura felt her heart beating quicker, but she calmed herself down and started speaking in a serious tone.

“Shin, you do understand what is going to happen shortly, right?”

Shin stopped and thought for a good ten seconds before weakly nodding his head and answered in a low voice.

“I must face Muir…”

Zura was about to speak before Shin interrupted her.

“The Gods will not let this chance pass by either…”

Shin stated it calmly.

Zura opened her mouth, but no voice came out.

Shin saw Zura’s expression through his hazy eyes. Shin closed his eyes for a moment before opening them, staring at Zura with a bright smile.

“I know that this will be dangerous.”

Zura’s eyes widened before saying with a smile.

“We already know, we will follow you no matter what.”

Shin nodded calmly before shaking his head.

“You have been with me since the day I was born.”

His eyes drooped slightly before saying in a weak voice.

“Even Kuugo saw me as his grandson. Without you guys, I would have despaired…”

Zura had no words to say before stuttering.

“Y-You, do you remember Kuugo?!”

“Yes…”

Shin nodded calmly.

“Kuugo, he saved me with his own sacrifice. I can’t let something like this to happen once more.”

Zura had a bad premonition, her back was drenched in sweat when she heard Shin’s next words.

“Therefore, I will release all of you…!”

Shin said with a soft yet domineering voice.

Closing his eyes, Shin stared at the twelve colours deep within himself.

Leave…

Leave and live…

The colours started slowly moving, it moved further away from Shin’s soul.

“Shin, stop it!!!”

Zura yelled out in despair as she saw her own body fade away slowly.

“Thank you…”

Shin said with a soft voice before leaving Zura’s embrace. From Shin’s back, twelve different coloured wisps could be seen pushed away from Shin.

All the wisps were calm and flew with an unimaginable speed, flying thousands of times faster than normal Half-Divinity Cultivators. It didn’t even take a minute before they slowed down, in mid-way, the light-yellow wisp changed direction. The other eleven continued forward towards a cave, within the cave stood sculptures, each of the coloured wisps entered their specific sculptures.

After the wisps entered a sculpture, a powerful aura gushed out and broke the sculpture within a second. One after the other, the sculpture broke and released a bright light. Inside the light, a figure could be seen.

“Finally…!”

Wearing a dark cloak and grey eyes, Ker’Vrak spoke with a powerful voice.

“Hehe, it went as planned.”

Gladius walked out of his white light and stretched his body before gazing out of the cave.

“Hahaha!”

Bayoun laughed out loudly as he walked towards Ker’Vrak, his large body was domineering, and his smirk was eerie which should send shiver to most people.

“I can finally fight side by side with Liege!”

“Liege, your shield is coming shortly…”

Ovan mumbled while holding his shield with a firm grip.

“Come and get ready, we don’t have time to waste!”

Ker’Vrak glanced at the lights behind them and said with a cold voice.

“You can’t order me, only master can!”

Kira said while narrowing his eyes towards Ker’Vrak.

“Humph…!”

Zura walked out of her light with an angered expression.

“Let’s make haste, Shin might be in trouble.”

“Screech!”

A loud cry could be heard from the red light. A beautiful red phoenix spanned her wings while staring towards the entrance of the cave before flying with the fastest speed possible.

Behind the phoenix, a woman in blue with water under her feet could be seen, moving at the same speed as the phoenix.

Kira closed his eyes for a moment, a pair of wings could be seen on his back, they were small and shined brightly like a fairy. He opened his eyes and rushed forward towards Mekina and Murutha.

“Howling!”

With a loud howl, a grey wolf rushed behind Kira.

Lia came out of her teal light with a mask on her face and holding a thin pike in her hand, as she walked forward Lia murmured.

“Master, I will come and save you…”

Near the centre of the continent

Shin stood still in the air, through his blurry eyes, he managed to see the what was in front of him.

Thousands, tens of thousands, perhaps one hundred thousand beasts standing in front of a palace. Above the beasts stood an elderly woman with wrinkles on her face and only one arm.

Muir gnashed her teeth as she glared at Shin with killing intent.

Shin didn’t show any expressions at all, he tried to focus on Muir, but he knew that he would need to face all of the beasts too.

Shin lowered his head, glancing at his katana and dagger, showing a weak smile before whispering.

“Help me one last time…”

“Surround him, don’t let him escape!”

Muir ordered with a loud voice.

The moment Muir’s voice settled, the beasts started moving swiftly, surrounding Shin with tens of thousands of beasts together.

Shin didn’t move at all, he didn’t even bother about being surrounded. He had one goal, and that was Muir.

Muir sneered when she saw Shin looked down on the beasts. Even Muir herself usually didn’t care about numbers of weaklings, but she couldn’t deny that it would waste her stamina.

Everything turned quiet, the silence before the storm…

A sudden light emerged from the heavens, a hundred figures descended with a mighty aura surrounding them. There were three that lead them, two males and a female.

“Marvin, you have a good timing.”

The female snickered as she glared at Shin. The female had green hair and green eyes, her expression was calm, but it had a tinge of madness.

“Tina, you think I would make a mistake?”

Marvin was wearing his white robe, he had a young face, but his expression showed disdain for everything.

“Dan, you said you will follow my lead, will you?”

Marvin raised his eyebrows as he glanced at the last male.

Dan didn’t speak, but he gave a small nod. Dan was wearing a white mask covering his facial expression and a cloak around his body.

“Huh…”

Shin glanced at the figures descending from the heaven before smiling without any care.

“Everyone’s here then.”

“Hehehe…”

Shin started laughing coldly, attracting everyone’s attention.

“Thank you for coming here, there is no need for any of you to leave!”

After Shin finished speaking, a dark aura gushed out of Shin’s body, swallowing everything near him.

While everyone was focused on Shin, a thunderous sound came from afar. Thousands of warriors were rushing forward with their weapons in their hands.

The ones leading the warriors were Kali, Aria, Azane, Anaj, Peutoa, Hath, Lola and Eline.

Not a second later, on the opposite side, stood tens of thousands of warriors wearing similar armour and weapon. The one leading the army was Leo wearing his royal armour and sword, behind Leo followed Tharia and Qui.

While the two armies distracted everyone’s attention, eleven figures stood around Shin. Two in front, four on the sides and five behind him.

“Liege, it was my fault for being late!”

Ovan said in a deep voice as he stood in front of Shin with his green shield.

“Haha, finally I can fight with you, my Liege!”

Bayoun laughed loudly as he glared at Muir and the Gods coldly.

“Why are you guys here?”

Shin was shocked, tears were running down his face as he glanced at everyone. He would have never thought that everyone would come and help him when the ones he was facing were strong to the point of managing to destroy cities with a wave of their hands.

“Master, do you know why I respectfully call you my ‘Master’?”

Ker’Vrak asked a question with a soft voice.

Shin shook his head, not managing to let a sound out.

“Because I have seen everything what you have went through, I know all of your feelings such as sadness, grief, hope and joy. You have showed me a whole new side of the world. I have lived for over a hundred thousand years, but the twelve years I have been with you was a lot more fulfilling than when I was a Ruler or when I was in my Soul Mark.”

Ker’Vrak explained with a calm voice as he gently looked at Shin.

“I respect you from the bottom of my heart, that is why I call you Master…”
