Chapter 347 The Arrogant Porcupine's Bold Statement
Five Great beasts of the forest had appeared.
Although the forest of Thuren was one of the most dangerous forests in the world, the strongest beings were only within Lv.80s and 90s. For humans, it was indeed dangerous after all only a few humans were at that level.
Regardless, the five beasts stared right at Shin.
An Eagle, a Stag, a Porcupine, a Bee, and a Pangolin had appeared.
Among all of them, the eagle seemed to be the largest but the Bee was the strongest with the highest level among them.
"Ha! Don\'t think so highly of yourself. The only reason we lost last time was because we were alone, but this time we all have joined forces.", the porcupine said in an arrogant voice with a hint of mockery in it.
As the porcupine paused for a second, Shin looked around.
"Have you come alone?"
"Where are your minions?", Shin asked, shifting his gazes from one side to the other.
"Minions?"
"Do you think we are fools? Would we bring dead weight with us? They will easily get killed with a single attack of yours!", this time, the eagle replied but froze on his spot when Shin\'s eyes paused on him.
"Deadweight, eh?"
"I see, I see…"
"If they are that weak, then they are indeed dead weight…", Shin seemingly nodded his head a few times.
"I now know that you aren\'t fools, however, tell me, if you think dead weights shouldn\'t come in front of me, then what are you doing here?", Shin asked as he again shifted his gazes from one beast to the other.
"…", the eagle, somewhat enraged, raised his voice.
"What?!"
The same was with the porcupine, who had a confused look. He however soon understood what Shin implied and the moment he did, his eyes started to glow brightly.
"You! Do you think that such a puny creature as yourself could even bring a scratch on me?", the porcupine started shouting when he realized that Shin called the great five beasts \'Dead Weight\'.
"You should have just bowed down in my presence, but instead, you dare to call me a dead weight. Die!", his voice only grew louder.
As soon as he said those words deep purple-colored spikes materialized out of thin air.
There were a total of five spikes and right after forming they were launched towards Shin.
Apparently, the Porcupine had a little attitude problem. Despite fully being aware that he was weaker than Shin and despite knowing the fact that he had already lost to him, not once, but twice, he ended up attacking him.
He pretended as if he was the greatest while he was nothing but a speck of dust in Shin\'s eyes.
In any case, the Poison spikes that were launched by the Porcupine were quite deadly. Earlier, he had easily killed a strong beast in the forest - Tortior, the great Earthworm - that was at Lv.72.
Just because of this newly learned special attack of his, he had grown even more arrogant, thinking, as long as the spikes pierced Shin, he would be dead!
\'Nooo! I must protect his majesty.\', Deoras dashed toward Shin with his all might and with the only goal to protect Shin.
Deoras wasn\'t a fool. He was aware of the fact that Shin was agile enough to dodge the attack, however, when he looked at Shin just standing around and smirking, his instincts forced him to take action.
Prior to this, when the Porcupine had started to manifest the spikes from this air, his entire body was already shaking with fear.
Shadow and Dark wolves, among all the wolves, were known for their extraordinary instincts. So a second glance made him realize how deadly the spikes could be.
Regardless, when the spikes were fired, he had wasted a few seconds, expecting Shin to dodge them easily. However, when he saw that Shin had no thought of dodging the attack, he was forced to rush toward him.
As mentioned, he had already wasted a couple of valuable seconds just staring and expecting Shin to dodge. Thus, he was already too late.
Despite his great agility, he failed to reach Shin before the mishap happened.
The five spikes had already made contact with Shin only slightly piercing his skin.
Shin didn\'t flinch. He didn\'t even move from the place.
Deoras, who was afraid that Shin would underestimate the spikes, was now somewhat scared.
He didn\'t stop in his tracks and reached Shin, immediately asking him, "Are you alright master?"
"…"
Shin, on the other hand, didn\'t reply. He just stood with the same expression, staring at the porcupine who now was on cloud nine!
"Hahaha. Arrogant aren\'t you!? You must think that you survived but you are already poisoned by it and now nothing can save you except me."
The moment the porcupine said this, Shin\'s legs trembled a bit.
"Master!?", Deoras raised his voice.
\'The poison must have weakened him…\'
\'What do you I do!?\', he was worried, extremely worried and scared.
\'Some bodyguard I am…\'
\'Leave the Supremes, I couldn\'t even protect him from those mere spikes…\', he cursed at himself.
Deoras turned his head towards the Porcupine who had mentioned that he could save Shin.
Immediately, Deoras bowed.
"Please!"
"Please save my master!" his voice was wavy and filled with fear.
The porcupine had the biggest of all the smiles that were painted on his face recently.
"Haha, spare him?"
"I will only do that if he agrees to become my slave.", the porcupine said.
Deoras\' eyes became noticeably red when he heard this bold statement.
If not for his master being poisoned, he would have dashed forward with the intention of killing the arrogant porcupine.
"M-master…", Deoras turned his head towards Shin, who was trembling right now.
"Become my slave and I will spare your pitiful life.", the Giant Porcupine repeated himself as he looked at Shin trembling.
Well, little did he know that his smile was going to crumble in a matter of seconds.
