Aaron, who saw Freris dying while screaming, had fear instilled inside him.


    ''If they catch me, I won''t have a peaceful death.''


    ''They will keep torturing me until I die…'', his thoughts were tangled, fear continuously building inside him and growingrger every second. He knew not how to handle the situation right now.


    Out of the five emperor-tier wolves, two were dead - two strong ones. Now, only three were left out of which, Devis looked fine in his half-dragon form but his opponent, Shin, too had a half-dragon form. Lurion seemed exhausted, even with the entire HP, he was weak as all of his MP seemed drained out.


    As for himself, his HP was quite low thanks to Argant''s attacks.


    ''Should I run away…?'', he asked himself, but the question automatically changed the next second.


    ''Can I run away?''


    He wasn''t even sure if he would be able to escape from this ce, considering the fact that there were tons of bloody beasts battling here and there, with many monsters present that could gobble him up easily.


    By no means would the celestial stop him from leaving, but those who have a grudge against the Fang n would surely not stay quiet.


    It was supposed to be a battle between the Lou Shin n and the Fang n, but other ns meddled in between, almost no one siding with the Fang n.


    This meant that Lou Shin n broke the rules, as other ns sided with them - thinking this as a good argument, Aaron thought that he could stop the war and run away, to get more time and evolve.


    "Hear me out Celestials!", he raised his voice and then spoke his mind.


    Shin and Devis, who were initially ring at each other, turned their gazes towards Aaron, after listening to what he said.


    Argant, who wanted to kill him, stopped for a minute, as what he said made sense. Another reason why he stopped was to replenish his MP which was drained a bit.


    The celestials heard him, and after looking at each other, they thought that Aaron made sense.


    They were about to dere that Lou Shin n lost the battle when Shin raised his voice, "Hear me out. Lou Shin n was not the one who asked others to interfere."


    "Are you an idiot!?", he asked Aaron.


    "You guys were the ones who first asked the members of your n, who weren''t even registered, to join the battle, thus breaking the rules first."


    "As I mentioned, we asked for no one''s help!"


    "They chose to side with us, and I have no problems if there is any n that wants to side with you guys."


    Upon listening to Shin''s words, the celestials decided to change their decision and asked them to continue the war - Aaron''s npletely ruined.


    He looked here and there, waiting for at least one n joining them.


    The seven hyenas from earlier, and a n filled with Jaguars came forward.


    Aaron was happy for a second, but that happinesssted only until he heard whose n they were supporting!


    Yes! The Lou Shin n gained even more supporters!


    When Shin earlier mentioned that other ns could help the Fang n, he was a bit nervous.


    If others came to help them, then it would only get much more difficult for him to defeat them. There would be even more casualties.


    However, thankfully, it only boosted his numbers as many more ns joined him - they were strong as well.


    Aaron now knew, that he really fked up.


    He was sweating profusely, ncing at the pale Lurion and his master Devis. He was yet again not sure what to do to save his as*.


    He stared at Freris'' dead body which was in pieces. It was all bloody. The mes had long stopped.


    Just seeing the scene made him even more scared.


    "You are next.", the Shadow dragon spoke in an intimidating voice, pointing at Aaron.


    ''Argant. Do whatever you want but make sure that that fker stays alive till the end.'', Shin said via telepathy.


    Argant turned his gaze towards Shin only to find his majestic white armor and dominant green gaze.


    "As you wish, master…", he whispered, thinking about obeying Shin.


    But in reality, he was a bit disappointed.


    "Tch, looks like I cannot take your life, what a shame...", he muttered, audible enough. He made sure that Aaron heard that.


    ''What is he talking about?''


    ''He is going to spare me…?'', the moment the word ''spare'' came to his mind, he recalled how Freris died.


    He felt a weird sensation, forcing all the way from his stomach as if he was going to puke.


    But he slowly raised his gaze, controlling himself.


    He saw that Argant was a bit distracted. He was looking towards Shin''s and Devis'' battle. In fact, everyone in his surrounding was looking at their battle as it shocked many. Thinking that this was an opportunity to escape, he decided to run away.


    Aaron dashed forward trying to escape but Argant noticed. He turned into a shadow and then traveled in the ground. Yes, no one could see him, but could only see his shadow. He was traveling as a shadow.


    Since Aaron was trying to run, he didn''t notice that Argant was chasing him. In fact, since he had turned into a shadow, it was rather difficult to notice that he was chasing him.


    Well, Aaron''s speed was too less whenpared to the movement of Argant''s shadow.


    He overtook him in an instant.


    When Aaron was trying to run as fast as possible, he noticed a gigantic shadow right under him. He raised his head towards the sky but there was nothing. When he looked down again, he found that the shadow had vanished.


    *Bump*


    And the next thing he knew was that he had bumped into something.


    When he looked in front of him, Argant stood firmly, ring back at him.


    "Pl-"


    *Bam*


    The shadow dragon kicked him as hard as possible, sending him flying in the air.


    *Boom*


    Just like Gargus, Aaron too was mmed into the wall, a few meters away from Gargus.


    Of course, he still had a lot of Hp, but no consciousness. Yes, he had fainted with a single kick from Argant.


    ''I hope that will take care of him for now…'', Argant thought as he looked towards the other side of the arena, the ce where Shin and Devis were battling.


    In fact, it was the center of the battlefield!


    However, in contrast to the high podium that existed earlier, only huge craters could be found. Shin''s and Devis'' attacks were too strong. It wouldn''t be an exaggeration to say that they had destroyed the arena!


    Shin dashed towards Devis and used [Dragon Fang].


    His fangs started shining and his neck stretched trying to bite Devis however, Devis dodged it with ease.


    Of course, Shin followed through with the same attack but this time, instead of dodging, Devis decided to attack.


    [Dragon w]


    Devis'' ws be sturdier and started to glow with faint purple light.


    Shin''s fangs were glowing with faint silvery-white light.


    Both of their attacks collided.


    Yes. Shin bit Devis'' fangs, which only lead to an explosion, blowing both of them away by three meters.


    Shin''s mouth seemed a bit bloody whereas Devis'' ws and limbs seemed fine. He wasn''t affected at all.


    This was because, there were no scales inside Shin''s mouth, but contrary to that, Devis had scales on his limbs, so he was safe.


    *Tsk*


    ''Is this because of inexperience…?'', Shin asked himself.


    Well, this was probably the second time he was using his half-dragon form. He didn''t have much battle experience in this form, so it made sense that Devis would have a little upper hand.


    In fact, Devis did hesitate in the start when he saw Shin use Dragon Fang, so he purposely dodged in order to avoid it. However, Shin used the same attack yet again.


    Since Devis knew how to counter it, he didn''t hesitate for the second time and attacked - thus, causing slight damage to Shin.


    It might be slight, but it was an advantage nevertheless. Everyone on the battlefield, who was thinking that both were of the same level and the same rank, had to now question their thoughts after seeing blood drip from Shin''s mouth.


    ''Your Highness…'', Deoras, Terran and Raka seemed worried as they nced at their fight.


    Everyone on the battlefield had stopped momentarily to observe them.
