Chapter 164 Hindrance
Shin was utterly surprised by hearing that.
'Aella lost two of her legs?', he had come to believe that the wolf that was being talked about was Aella.
A weird sense of guilt and anger started to rise within him. His blood started to boil.
Despite the skill Aura Control, his aura was leaking a bit. It was aided by an intense killing intent which Shin was doing his best to keep under his control.
He realized two things after hearing Mo say all about the white wolf.
One – Balton had tricked him into sending him near a dragon thinking that the dragon would kill him.
Two – Aella suffered from immense pain to which Balton's suffering from the burn was nowhere near to.
While many things were going smoothly – the familia and clan were formed, more members were found and the Elves joined Shin – it felt as if a little stir was required.
Yes, Shin felt the need to move a bit and finally enact on his own, at least for now.
Mo was going to start his own story soon but Shin stood up immediately from the sitting position.
He had no time to think about anything else as he believed, he had to bring Aella back as soon as possible.
He would have easily gone towards Aella earlier since he was quite close to her when he had gone to find the witch, unfortunately, he couldn't grasp Aella's scent.
The reason for that was many, the chilly wind that was blowing by had spread her scent throughout the entire area – in fact, it felt as if she was present everywhere due to which Shin had given up on using his sense of smell.
In any case, he left to sleep after discussing with Mo initially only to sneak out later. Shin had let Mo know about his circumstance earlier – about his sister being the wolf after which Mo wasn't angry anymore.
That was because Shin had brought the Reverse Potion to him in front of which that one fruit was nothing.
In fact, Mo ended up giving Shin, three of his fruits, that were still on the branches since he wouldn't be needing them anymore, in the form of appreciation.
Mo explained all this to Terran when he asked if Mo had any idea about Shin's disappearance.
"So, master left in search of his sister?", it sounded as if Terran was still asking questions, but he was just too surprised.
"Yes.", Mo seemed quite sure about it though.
Alira and Kaily were a bit worried about Shin, They didn't know him for long so they had no idea about his full strength and his capacities so it was understandable that they would worry.
"Don't you think we should go and help master?", Kaily asked.
The elves heard the conversation and stood up immediately as if they were ready to go in search of him too.
Alira started jumping because she couldn't wait to meet him and was ready to depart at any time.
However, Terran had different plans. He shook his head and said, "No, I think it's better if we remain here."
When Kaily heard that, she was surprised.
"Wha-", she could barely speak at Terran's decision.
In Shin's absence, Terran could be considered second in command, for now at least, because he was the closest to him and was probably the first member, as believed by others.
So, according to the hierarchy, they had to leave the decision-making to him.
Kaily thought that he would agree to go without hesitation, but Terran said something completely opposite.
"What do you mean by that?", Kaily asked.
"It's just as I mentioned, I don't think its best to leave the place and search for master.", was what Terran said.
"Are you serious?", the Elven Chief asked.
"…", Terran paused momentarily.
"Tell me brat, don't you want to help master?"
Her calling him brat was totally understandable. That was because she had known Terran for ages and they had chatted for some time while they were on their way back from her hut.
While he was higher in the hierarchy at the moment, he was still her brat so seeing her call that might seem odd to others, but for Terran, that was what he considered as normal.
"Yes, I'm completely serious about what I said."
"And I really want to help master, but looking at the current situation, I think we would be a hindrance if we were to go and look for him.", was what he said.
"Hindrance?"
The elves started to discuss what Terran said. While none of them knew what Terran was talking about, Kaily started to realize what he meant.
Regardless, Terran thought about explaining it.
"I had doubted it, but…"
"When I saw him earlier, using a skill to close the gap between himself and the hut, I became certain."
"Master is quite fast…"
Everyone nodded when they heard that considering the fact that he was a wolf.
"However, none of us have that amount of speed."
"Even if we were to try our very best, we wouldn't be able to reach his highest speed."
"This would only slow him down!"
"So I think it is in our best interests to stay here and wait for him to return.". this was what Terran said in the end and concluded everything.
No one disagreed with what they said, but all of them had a weird sense of fear in their hearts.
'If something were to happen to him, what would happen to us?' – while the elves joined the clan recently, they were worried too.
Though, they were the ones with the least worry because they had a chief among them, who had been leading them all this time.
Needless to say, Alira was the only one who was worried about Shin to a great extent.
She knew not the exact topic of discussion and what they were doing, but she knew one thing – 'Shin wasn't around.'
Despite her intelligence, she couldn't help but worry for Shin.
'I want to see master as soon as possible…', was what she said while looking at everyone's worried expression.
"…"
