BXBX NOVEL Chapter 370 Sparring The Three Greats
"And, why shouldn\'t I kill him?", Shin asked, staring at Kelton.
"Because it will create problems in the future.", Kelton murmured, trying to make a sound argument.
"Problems…?"
"Ha!"
"What kind of problems!?"
"Will the humans come and try to hunt me?"
"Or will his successor come to seek revenge?", Shin asked, trying to think of a possible reason that Kelton tried to give.
"Uh…"
"Haha, the last is not an option since no one wants to learn from the rowdy Walton but…", while Kelton did say this in a jovial tone, Melos almost ended up laughing.
But fie, his vocal cords…
"Stop wasting time and speak the real reason…", Shin said.
"Yes."
"Master, you see, we are the Three Greats of this Kingdom…"
"As you already know, Levonia\'s military might is not all that great."
"If not for my strategies and Walton\'s superior strength and violence and Melos guidance, Levonia would have already been doomed by other kingdoms."
"So, if now, both of them end up dying, and I come to your side, then the Kingdom is bound to fall…", Kelton said in a low voice as he found Shin getting irritated Kelton spoke something that sounded unrelated to him.
"Ha…"
"I have no idea what the hell you were speaking about."
"And… I missed the part where it was supposed to be my problem.", Shin said sarcastically, staring at Kelton.
"You are not trying to stall for time, are you?", Shin asked directly without any hesitation."
"No of course not. I wouldn\'t do that even in my wildest dreams…"
"And do pardon me if I felt chatty to you. I will try to give you exact details from now onwards…", Kelton said.
"Ugh, alright alright. Now tell me, how is it going to create problems for me… and ME only! Not for the Kingdom of Levonia, but for ME! Got it?"
"Yes…"
"So…"
"Master, after the clan Wars, other Kingdoms have begun their preparations for hunting you."
"As you know, just like Clan Wars, we humans have Grand Hunt event and without a doubt, you would be one of their targets…", Kelton said.
\'The heck? Despite displaying my strength, they think that they can hunt me?\'
\'Either they must be fools, or they are thinking too highly of themselves…\', Shin thought.
"So, they would do their best to hunt you."
"But right now, their military power is divided and with less force, I doubt they would cause any great damage."
"But with us, three Greats missing from Levonia, either of the surrounding kingdoms might be able to take control of it."
"This would increase their military might."
"I see…", Shin somewhat nodded his head, as if he had started to understand what Kelton\'s point was.
"Yes. So, after taking over Levonia, they might end up attacking Loria and then the forest…", Kelton said with a worried face, as if he was genuinely thinking about Shin.
"So, it would be best for us to let them live… isn\'t that right Master?", Kelton asked and finally, Shin had a look of understanding.
"Well, what you said is true."
"I might as well spare these waste people…", Shin said and then his eyes paused on Melos.
Killing intent flickered in his eyes but he then controlled it. He inhaled and exhaled deep breaths trying to calm himself but he just couldn\'t bring himself to spare Melos.
\'I probably shouldn\'t injure them too much…\'
\'Them being on death bed is no different than them being absent…\'
But even after thinking this, he just couldn\'t control his will to kill Melos!
[Aero Slash]
Alas, anger took the best of him due to which he launched an Aero slash toward Melos which hit his left hand separating it from his body. Due to this, another scream escaped Melos\'s lips, echoing through the almost empty battlefield.
"I am not going to kill him…"
"But that doesn\'t stop me from giving him pain, does it?", Shin asked as laughed crazily, while Melos had a horrified look on his face. The zombie-like voice kept on escaping from Melos\'s lips. It was as if he was begging for mercy, but it was clear as crystal that Shin wouldn\'t even bait his eye at him and would only want him to suffer even more.
Shin used his skill [Burn] only on Melos, due to which he started to scream once again. This time, he maintained the skill for a while.
Soon after what seemed like endless torture, Shin stopped and then started to heal Melos.
And now, Melos, who thought that the torture was over, found himself gazing right at Shin\'s face.
Shin had a dominating look, as if, he was determined to do something…
It was only seconds later he realized that he was wrong about it being over.
Melos once again started to scream as the sound of meat getting fried in deep oil echoed throughout the place. Shin had used his skill Burn yet again.
Walton looked at the scene with horror. He was just hoping that Shin didn\'t hold a grudge against him or he would have to suffer the same fate as Melos.
About ten minutes passed and Shin realized that he still had tons of work to do. He calmed himself.
After having enough fun with Melos Shin didn\'t bother to heal him.
Melos was left with third-degree burns which made him look like a haunted character straight out of a movie.
Melos was kissing his left palm and right ankle.
He was all bloody. Shin had indeed used the skill Burn, but along with that, he also used Blood Crunch in the middle and ripped off some of his flesh. Needless to say, the skill Regeneration and Heal did help him to attach those parts back on Melos but he didn\'t put any further effort.
"…"
Balton was excited when he saw all the three Greats entering the battlefield so that they could hunt the monster named Shin. He was more than sure that Shin wouldn\'t be able to live after battling with the three great warriors of this country, however, the outcome was something different than what he had imagined.
