The crests were shining with white light. Although the glow was faint, it was more than enough to catch everyone''s attention.


    Yes, the boars that still ran towards Avan could see the remaining members obtaining the crest.


    ''We never got crests from our king…'', they thought.


    They looked at Avan to seek an answer when they saw himpletely astonished. Even nca was surprised when he saw the crests appearing on the bodies of the boars.


    ''No way…''


    ''Did he really just give crests to all of them?'', nca waspletely surprised and baffled by the sight. He could have never imagined for such a thing to happen.


    Well, it was never exinedpletely before but crests are rare symbols or emblems.


    When the system did tell Shin that the crests actually tell if a being is part of a n, it never exined the rest of the things.


    Not every n member can have crests. In fact, in a n, it might be possible for not a single person to have any crest.


    So the question arises, what is crest? What are its exact functions? Why is it so rare?


    First of all, a crest is like a mark on the soul made on the beings that voluntarily enter a n after offering their entire loyalty. As long as they aren''t entirely loyal, they would never be able to obtain a crest.


    And if one doesn''t obtain a crest, the n leader can immediately know that the soul is corrupted or the being has foul intentions. In that way, he can eliminate him right away.


    Next, the crest lets the subordinates use a portion of the n leader''s or vice leader''s mana. Sometimes, quite rarely, they may even use their skills. Of course, this was only valid when their lives were very in extreme danger and they were one of the high rankers in the n. Not everyone could do that.


    The crests give other boosts as well. For example, it increases the growth rate of a beast and also gives chances for evolution.


    And finally, it is believed that from the moment they gain crest, all their bad deeds in the past would get erased. Yes, since even beasts believe in after-life and karma, having a crest would only leave them with good karma. Of course, if one does wrong after gaining the crest, then he would gain bad karma. But the previous bad karma before obtaining the crest would have definitely vanished.


    That was how it worked. Since one could always do bad deeds and then obtain a crest to prevent the bad karma from affecting their next lives, nature made having crests quite rare.


    Only the leader with extreme capabilities can provide crests. But Shin, without his own realization, kept giving crests as if it was free. Yes, he thought that it was normal to have one and thus didn''t react much – the above-exined things were its hidden reasons and points that one should be aware of.


    That was the reason why nca and Avan were surprised. Nevertheless, he was still angered.


    Without wasting any time, he shouted, "Attack!"


    All the boars opened their mouths, yes all the boars that were on Avan''s side.


    A red-colored sphere started forming in their mouths. Avan did the same too. He was probably going to use everyst bit of mana he had o eradicate everyone.


    The boars on Shin''s side opened their mouths as well to shoot a sphere just like the boars on Avan''s side. But of course, whenpared to Avan''s powers, the little boars wouldn''t be able to do much!


    ''Damn, the heal is taking too long.''


    It had already been three minutes by now and there were two more minutes left. Shin''s intelligence stat was still halved, despite that, he came up with a brilliant idea.


    ''All I need to do is recover my HP right…?''


    He looked at the undead that he raised a few moments ago.


    They all had HP and Shin had the skill HP Eater – you get it right?


    It was simple, all he had to do was use the skill on them and gain their HP. Basically, Necromancy was like a broken skill which he realized right now.


    And after smirking, he dly used that skill since he had no sympathy for the unknown undead anyway.


    *Ding*


    [ You have used the skill HP Eater ]


    And right after that, he took some amount of all their HPs. The Undead were still present since Shin didn''t take all of their HP.


    Yes, only some from all of them were more than enough for him to recover.


    [ HP: 2000/2000 || Max. HP: 9999 ]


    His HP became full in an instant.


    The impaled abdomen was also healed as he removed the wood with the help of his mouth.


    ''Now…''


    ''As for them…''


    Shin looked at Avan and other boars who were about to fire the attack.


    Yes, before finally thinking of a skill to use, they ended up firing. The same was true for the boars that were on his side, they too fired the red sphere.


    *Ding*


    [ Warning ]


    [ The collision of the attacks would cause an explosionrge and strong enough to blow away the mountain Grekko ]


    "…"


    Shin looked at the dangerous notification that popped up.


    He knew what he had to do the moment he got the notification.


    ''I have to prevent them from collision…''


    ''I think there is just one way…''


    Shin''s eyes started to glow with intense green light. His aura increased as well.


    The skill Aura Domain was still activated with rage, so the effects of the skill which he was using were multiplied or increased as well.


    ''I have used this skill just once…''


    ''I thought about never using it after using it once during the hunt in the past days…''


    ''But after seeing the warning, I don''t think I have much of an option.'', Shin grinned as he nced at the spheres that were about to sh.


    ''Here we go...''
