Shin stared at the man, confused with what exactly he ant.
Sure, he was soone who could transform himself, but why would he call himself an egg?
Thinking of it to be a joke, Shin neglected it as he sensed a bigger problem at hand.
He looked towards Lucas and said, "Instead of using your flas, let just cut this serpent's stomach open."
Lucas looked at Shin's skin, which was already burning due to the acid.
Following that, he glanced at his palm, searching for a sharp weapon from which he ant tp cut the serpent.
Since he found none, he looked straight at Shin.
"I don't see any weapon," Lucas said, concern creeping into his voice.
Shin furrowed his brow, confused by Lucas' statent. "Weapon?" he asked.
"Yes," Lucas replied. "You said you were going to cut the serpent's stomach, right?"
Shin nodded in affirmation. "Yeah, that's the plan. What about it?"
"Well, then you're going to need a sharp object or a weapon, like a sword," Lucas said, gesturing with his hands to emphasize his point.
Shin remained quiet for a few seconds and then finally decided to relieve Lucas of his concern.
"Look boy, I don't need sothing to cut it open."
"I have sufficient strength to do that.", Shin reassured.
Lucas realized that the frail skinny man in front of him, wasn't probably as weak as he thought.
Well, just a glance at Shin and one could tell how good looking he was, but his muscles weren't seen. In fact, he could even be compared to a stick!
Regardless, Lucas' misconceptions seed to go away, however, he had yet to witness Shin's strength.
"Alright, let's do that.", Lucas said, and waited for Shin to showcase his might.
Without further adieu, Shin imdiately lift his left arm.
'Aero Slash.', he said in his mind and concentrated on using the skill with only his arm.
Surprisingly, it worked.
A large amount of mana gathered around his arm, seconds after which, visible wind could be seen swirling around his left arm.
Shin's eyes were glowing with intense green light, almost blinding to others.
However, both Lucas and the so-called Eggman, could peep directly into his eye, as if, they weren't affect by the light.
…
The serpent moved towards other humans, and was swallowing them one by one.
They were helpless, and were being caught and gulped within a fraction of a second.
They would travel all the way through the serpent's alintary canal until they reach its stomach.
Of course, Lucas would either catch them, or pull them out from the digestive juice.
Regardless, the chaos outside was sothing that the entire crowd enjoyed.
The King was much please, drinking two to three glasses of wine in one go - although all of them just dripped down the bones.
He was quite happy, as ntioned, enjoying the scene.
However, his happiness soon faded away as he sensed sothing that arouse fear in him.
'This…?'
'This energy…', he said to himself, confused about the sudden surge of mana.
He felt a weird presence.
It didn't take him long to locate the place which harvested this unknown energy, that even shook his bones.
A glance at the serpent in pain, made him realize that the one whom he thought to be interesting, was still alive!
Indeed, the serpent twirled around, not in joy, but in pain.
*BLASH*
"HISSS!"
The serpent let out a loud cry before losing its consciousness, ultimately dying right after that.
On the other hand, its abdon was ripped open, as if a gate had been made.
Shin walked through it, blood all over his body.
His body was covered with a piece of clothing which he had stolen from one of the houses earlier when he had transford. It was brownish initially, but now, it was dyed in red.
Regardless, Shin walked out like a champion who had killed a dragon.
Lucas followed him, with Eggman right behind. Other humans who were swallowed ran out as well, needless to say, so demi-humans and other races such as so dwarves who had been caught, also got the blessing of getting out from the serpent's body.
The skeleton king's mind almost blasted in pain as he noticed all of them escaping out.
The crowd went quiet, though, so were surprised with this sudden twist, so scared as well.
Shin on the other hand, had a smirk on his face, followed by a stare directed at the skeleton king.
As for Lucas, he glanced here and there, looking at the spectators whose jaws were dropped.
The Eggman, as he introduced himself, was crying.
'Outside…'
'I am finally out…', he said to himself as he looked at the blue sky and felt the soil on the ground.
It was as if, he had been trapped for ages inside the serpent and only got the chance just now to experience the world outside.
Indeed, he was overjoyed, as if, he had co out of a cage after a decade!
"I…"
"Am…"
"FR-"
Eggman wanted to say that he was free, but before he could utter those words, a loud war-cry interrupted him.
It was an group of Skeletons, in fact, skeleton soldiers that rushed towards the group.
It wasn't too hard to guess who ordered them to do so.
"YOU!", the Skeleton King was cussing at Shin and the gang, who had killed his beloved serpent.
"YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!"
The skeleton soldiers seemingly rushed to capture them, but failed to even touch a single one, as they were punched away by Lucas.
His fist engulfed in flas, and eyes as sharp as an eagle, watching their movents carefully, made it possible for him to protect the gang from all the sides.
The re skeletons that had co to kill the humans on the king's command, ended up getting destroyed by Lucas, who left a punch imprint on their bones - as if, giving them a tag of sha of getting defeated by a re human.
