After accepting the Dark elves, Shin and the party walked further towards the deeper areas of the Islea forest.
The plan was to reach the arena by the night of the third day, but they ended up reaching right around the evening.
Yes, as they kept walking, they noticed pillars that had so colorful flags and designs on them.
It was as if a gateway was made to invite all the beasts to attend the clan wars.
Shin was surprised to look at all the decorations.
That was because it seed as if a human had decorated them.
But then again, humans were bound to co as well since the Human Celestial would be present!
Moreover, other beasts that had intelligence were capable of doing this.
Regardless, Shin and his gang walked a bit further only to find many beasts from different races gathering.
They had ford various groups of their own and were chatting.
But the mont Shin and his gang entered, all of a sudden, their auras changed. Moreover, q little amount of killing intent was being emitted.
Yes, it was not because of Shin, but because of the dark elves that accompanied them.
It was weird, but yes, Shin could see weird black smoke from them too as if they were cursed as well.
'Sigh, just how much hate do other races Harbour against the dark elves...?', she asked himself as he felt the warning sign from the system.
*Ding*
[ Killing intent detected ]
Even if the system hadn't shown this warning, Shin could have easily guessed that all the races out there, wanted to kill the Dark elves for so reason.
In any case, their killing intentions didn't matter to him since they were all low leveled.
[ Level: 17 || Max. level: 30 ]
[ Level: 19 || Max. level: 30 ]
[ Level: 19 || Max. level: 30 ]
[ Level: 21 || Max. level: 30 ]
[ Level: 32 || Max. level: 50 ]
Yes, the foxes, raccoons, deers, etc, none of them were even close to the average level of Shin's squad.
Despite being weak, they had the gall to look at Shin directly- this was what the wolves in his pack thought.
Almost imdiately, another wave of killing I tent was released which dominated the previous wave.
'Wait, who the heck is so strong? This killing intent is suffoca-'
Shin turned back only to see the scary faces of his pack.
The mont they saw Shin turning back, all of them changes their expression quickly. However, it was not quick enough to dodge Shin's vision.
He saw their expression clearly and was about to chuckle but remained calm and continued walking.
After walking a bit far, they found a large building.
'Wow...'
Shin was utterly surprised since the building wasn't present earlier, qt least not last year when he was in the forest.
He walked towards the other end of the wall where the entrance gate was present. But of course, the gate was closed.
He knew that this was the arena where the wars were going to happen.
Regardless, he looked at other beasts that were standing near the building and were chatting.
Well, he wanted to talk with them too, but no matter whom he approached, they would give him a look of disgust.
At first, he thought that they were giving that look because of the dark elves that were following them. But he then soon realized that he had asked his pack and the elves to stay near the walls until he took a look at the place.
Since the three shadow wolves were in his shadow, Deoras allowed.
But others didn't. Thus, Aella argued that she would go with Shin and after hearing this, none rejected.
Yes, he was now walking with Aella and no one else. After recalling this, he questioned the look of disgust.
'Were they really looking at like that?', he questioned.
*Ding*
[ Affirmative ]
'Huh?'
'I an, why!?', he asked again.
*Ding*
[ It is because of the color of the host's fur ]
Right after the system ntioned this, Shin understood what was going on.
Since white wolves were considered the weakest, they were easily hated and bullied by other races. Especially, in all part clan wars, other wolves hurt the white wolves pretty badly.
Because of that, they had a bad reputation.
Of course, since Aella and Shin were white wolves, the hate was directed at them as well.
'I see...'
'No wonder I keep feeling the killing intent from behind ...'
Shin wasn't referring to the killing intent from other races. He was referring to the killing intent emitting from Aella who was pissed over the fact that they were looking at them with disgust.
Shun continued to walk without minding Aella. He wanted to look around the place as many stalls and shops were set up.
Yes, shops by dwarves, elves, humans, and many other races were set up.
'It looks like a festival...', Shin thought.
Yes, clan wars were like an event celebrated rarely. Of course, it was thought to be a festival since it was only this ti when races from various places could gather and bond together.
They end up making friends, pacts, and many other things. Therefore, this was treated as a festival.
As for humans, they would earn a lot of gold during this event.
The beasts don't use gold or gold coins or anything similar. But still, they collect only for this day.
They end up paying in the stalls, in betting, and buying things.
Of course, the things sold were at least 10 tis much costlier!
Shin looked around. There were fascinating stores with different types of food that slled best. Due to his enhanced sense of sll, he was tempted even more.
However, unfortunately, he didn't have even a single piece of gold.
'Co to think of it, I have never even seen gold...', was what Shin thought.
But no, he had seen a lot of gold back in Loria. Despite being the actual master of those gold, he couldn't buy anything as he didn't have it with him right now.
'Sigh, I should have stored so amount of gold...', he thought as he regretted.
In any case, he kept walking past the stalls when he suddenly got an aweso yet sneaky idea.
'Why don't I use the system's inventory function to sneak in so of those amazing looking food...?', his cunning mind thought.
But of course, he wouldn't do that. He still had a lot of at inside his inventory so their lives were not at risk due to the shortage of food.
Therefore, he declined the thought and continued walking.
After taking a good look at all the stalls, he thought about heading back towards the main building which was made for the Arena.
He wanted to take a look at how the interiors looked but couldn't of course, because they were locked.
Even with his all-seeing eyes, he failed.
Yes, all-seeing eyes were capable of looking through objects but there was a barrier that restricted even his skill.
Even the system displayed a ssage that bugged him a little.
*Ding*
[ All-Seeing Eyes has failed to see through the erected walls ]
[ High-level magic prevents the host from using All-Seeing eyes for an hour ]
After this, Shin gave up the thought of taking a look at what was inside since he would soon co to know when the Arena would officially open.
He walked back towards the place where his people were waiting only to find them disputing with so other race.
"Ha!?"
Shin was utterly surprised to see a group of n, that looked like vultures, standing near Terran and Raka and talking angrily.
Shin had previously asked everyone to not provoke anyone or give in to anyone's provocation while he was away, but it looked like Terran and Raka didn't follow what he said.
He then rushed towards them while raising his voice, "What is going on!?"
Terran and Raka noticed Shin approaching them and imdiately said, "Thank God you arrived, your highness."
Shin was about to ask them to explain the situation when one of the vulture-n said, "This dog is your king!?"
And they said sothing that totally infuriated every wolf in Shin's pack.
They were about to jump and attack the vulture-n before which, the Dark Elves cast their magic and attacked the vulture-n, rendering them paralyzed and flightless!
"You-", Shin was surprised to see the dark elves attack.
"We are already hated, so it is better for them to hate us more rather than start hating your people, your highness…", said one of the elders of the dark elves.
"…"
