Chapter 429: Provocation [1]
Amidst the throes of pain, Shin\'s eyes absorbed the wealth of information about the crown and the mission, prompting a profound contemplation of the uncharted path that lay ahead.
Gradually, the relentless burning sensation that consumed Shin began to subside, dissipating bit by bit. The fusion between him and the crown was now complete, manifesting as a crimson, flame-like mark adorning his forehead.
It served not only as a visible symbol of their union but also as a harbinger of the untapped power and destiny that lay within Shin\'s new form.
With an instinctual awareness, Shin realized that he could summon the crown at will, its power readily accessible to him. However, as fate would have it, his journey of transformation was far from over.
Astonishingly, in a jaw-dropping twist, Shin underwent yet another metamorphosis, surpassing all expectations.
The magnitude of this new transformation sent shockwaves through the chamber, leaving even the most seasoned elders in awe-struck disbelief, their eyes fixated on the extraordinary being that stood before them.
As Shin\'s stature expanded further, his already awe-inspiring visage transcended into a realm of majestic grandeur.
Every aspect of his being emanated an undeniable regality, captivating all who beheld him. It was an undeniable presence that commanded reverence and demanded attention, an undeniable mark of a royal entity that no one could possibly overlook.
"Flame Wolf Emperor?" The High Order elders rose from their seats in unison, their collective astonishment etched upon their faces. Each one of them was overcome with a profound shock, utterly captivated by the sheer presence and magnificence exuded by Shin in his transformed state.
\'Uh, what just happened?\'
*Ding*
[As a result of the integration of the Crown of Fire, your physical structure has undergone reorganization, rendering it sufficiently resilient for the utilization of the item.]
\'I see…\'
Even if he hadn\'t undergone the modification, such a reaction was already expected, after all, Shin was indeed a Flame Wolf Emperor.
Unsurprisingly, the reaction of the High Order elders was to be expected, for Shin, as a Flame Wolf Emperor, had always commanded such respect and admiration.
The elders exchanged glances, their eyes shifting between each other and then settling upon Shin. Deep within, an unspoken desire resonated among them - a longing to embrace him and guide him under their collective wings.
The unspoken rift between the Low Order and Shin had grown ever wider, for they were acutely aware of the consequences of their misjudgments. The relationship had soured, and the chance of reconciliation seemed increasingly distant.
They knew they fucked up.
\'Ah, if only I had known he was a Flame Wolf Emperor! I would never have acted so recklessly,\' one of the elders lamented, grasping at their hair in a fit of frustration and remorse.
Shin stood stoic, devoid of any visible emotion or reaction.
\'I\'ve come too far to back down now,\' the elder declared, releasing his grip on his hair.
"You!"
"How dare you!?"
\'Now what?!\'
Startled by the sudden outburst, Shin, deep in contemplation about reverting to his original form, was taken aback by the elder\'s raised voice, sensing a tinge of annoyance.
Doubt and frustration consumed Shin as he pondered, \'What is he up to now? What kind of pointless situation is he about to create?\'
"Why aren\'t you expressing gratitude for receiving such an amazing artifact from us!?" the elder questioned, his tone tinged with a mix of expectation and reproach.
"You insolent bug!" the elder\'s voice boomed, reverberating through the surroundings with an air of indignation and contempt.
Unfazed by the elder\'s verbal onslaught, Shin maintained his stoic demeanor, unaffected by the words hurled his way. His unwavering composure conveyed a resolute indifference, as if the elder\'s remarks held no power to perturb him.
"And who do you think you are?" the elder\'s voice retorted, laced with a mixture of disdain and challenge.
"We\'ve already forgiven you once, however, you still remain so arrogant."
\'Arrogance?\'
As Shin locked eyes with the elder, a glint of disdain flickered within his gaze. The faint green light that emanated from his eyes only intensified the silent question that hung in the air: \'Does he even know the meaning of the word?\'
"You!!"
"How dare you?!" another elder exclaimed, his voice resonating with a mixture of outrage and disbelief.
With each calculated step, the elder approached Shin, emanating an air of unabashed arrogance.
He circled Shin, his footsteps deliberate and full of arrogance, repeating the word "punk" with a derisive cadence, as if attempting to diminish Shin\'s stature with every utterance.
"Punk… punk… punk."
"Do you not understand that you are only here because of Elder Nis?" he sneered, pointing directly at the elder who had tirelessly attempted to demean Shin.
Shin\'s gaze bore into Nis with heightened intensity, a penetrating stare that seemed to convey a deeper understanding and a silent challenge.
\'Tsk, thanks to him? For some reason, these words seem fishy…\'\'
The implications of Nis\' involvement seemed dubious to him, and he couldn\'t help but question the authenticity of the elder\'s claim.
\'Keke, that child continues to fixate on him. I wonder how Nis will respond,\' one of the elders pondered, a wry amusement playing across their thoughts. The unfolding dynamics between Shin and Nis had piqued their curiosity, leaving them eager to witness the elder\'s next course of action.
\'Nis is renowned for his cruelty. Haha, I am eager to witness the extent of the suffering he will inflict upon that insolent brat,\' another elder sneered, a twisted smirk adorning their face as they relished the prospect of witnessing Shin\'s torment under Nis\' hands.
At last, Shin resolved to break his silence.
"May I inquire as to what the esteemed elder has done to grant this humble individual entry into the kingdom?" Shin inquired respectfully, seeking clarification on the actions that had paved the way for his presence.
The elder who had been circling him wore a smug grin as he retorted, "Nothing.."
"Huh?"
"Nothing at all. Didn\'t you hear me?"
\'What the-\'
"HAHAHAHA"
A collective eruption of laughter ensued among the Low Order elders as Elder Krone\'s words echoed through the air. Their amusement reverberated, filling the space with mocking tones and derisive mirth.
Elder Krone, renowned for his knack for fabricating scenarios and his penchant for humiliating others, indulged in the same pattern with Shin, deftly toying with his words to create a spectacle of mockery.
