Chapter 425: Mike's Error
The two individuals, presumably the gate guards, made a deliberate gesture with their hands, indicating that they were granting permission for the gate to be opened.
Shin watched intently as the gate remained unchanged, showing no signs of opening despite the gesture made by the guards. Confused, he turned to Mike, who had already begun to move forward.
'Uh...'
Shin didn't say a word and silently trailed behind Mike, eventually finding himself walking through the gate, much like the two individuals before them.
As Shin passed through the seemingly unreal barrier, he found himself standing before yet another gate. This one, however, was noticeably different from the previous one, as it stood wide open. Four imposing guards stationed near the entrance stood at attention, their gazes fixed on Shin and his companions.
It was then that everything became clear to Shin.
Even with the aid of his All-Seeing Eyes, Shin was unable to perceive the presence of the gate. It was as if it were a mere mirage, and all he could feel was an intangible illusion.
He realized that if the illusionary gate could deceive his powerful All-Seeing Eyes, then it was highly likely that even the Supremes, who lacked such a skill, would also be easily fooled by it.
Shin and his companions eventually arrived inside the kingdom.
*Zoom*
The moment Shin, in his wolf form, set his left forelimb across the threshold of the kingdom, he immediately sensed a blast of cold air emanating from his position and rushing outwards in all directions. It was as if he had become the epicenter of a powerful gust of frigid wind that swept through the surrounding area, chilling everything in its path.
'Hmm...?'
Shin experienced a strange and sudden sensation in his chest, as if his heart was ablaze with an intense heat. However, the feeling quickly dissipated before he even had a chance to react or fully comprehend what was happening.
Shin pondered over the mysterious sensation. Moments later, his focus shifted towards Mike and Orion, who were both kneeling down on the ground, bowing deeply before a gathering of elders standing before them.
Shin shifted his focus, gazing directly at the pair. A look of confusion settled over him.
'Huh?'
Each elder, resembling Mike, but appearing more aged and weatherworn, possessed striking emerald green irises.
Shin previously assumed that Mike, Orion, and Kai were the only individuals with emerald green eyes, but upon closer observation, he realized that even the elders and everyone else in the vicinity possessed the same distinct eye color as him.
Unlike Shin, who remained in wolf form, the elders retained their human appearances. None of the elder's presence compelled him to bend in respect. Unaffected by customary protocols, Shin stood firm before them.
He stared at them, pondering over a single question that intrigued him, 'Is it possible for me to shift into a human form as well?'

Shin had always wondered if he could transform into a humanoid form. He had assumed that reaching level 100 might do the trick, but seeing Orion - who was only at level 93 - in his human form had made him realize that there might be other conditions that needed to be met to unlock such a form.
Shin's reverie was interrupted by a booming voice, "You insolent fool! How dare you show disrespect to the elders?"
A man, clearly in his mid-thirties, raised his hand and admonished Shin for failing to show due deference towards the revered elders.
He stood out from the rest with his flamboyant attire, adorned with opulent clothing and bedecked with dazzling jewels. He had no less than five gilded rings adorning his fingers, each one shining like a miniature sun.
With his frail appearance, he looked as if he could be blown away by the slightest gust of wind. As he approached, he leaned heavily on a gnarled staff, his back so hunched that it seemed as if he was about to collapse under the weight of his own body.
"Yes, can't you see what they are doing?"
An elder spoke, echoing the sentiment expressed by the previous speaker. "You have no right to show such contempt!"
Shin flinched slightly upon hearing these words, struggling to comprehend the situation.
He glanced sideways, casting a furtive glance toward Mike, who knelt nearby, both sets of eyes locking into each other.
Mike was at a loss for how to react to Shin's annoyed stare, feeling responsible for not having informed him about the customs and traditions of the place earlier. The awkwardness of the moment was palpable.
"Come on guys, we can overlook this. He likely wasn't aware," spoke one of the elders standing towards the left end of the seven, coming to Shin's defense.
Mike chimed in, also offering an apology. "Forgive me, it was a mistake on my behalf. I didn't tell him about th-"
Before Mike finished speaking, another voice intervened – that of a middle-aged man accompanying the elders. He boomed out loudly.
"So what? It's simply a matter of common courtesy, and if he's unable to demonstrate that, I'm doubtful of his place within our family."
This comment silenced Mike, leaving him speechless.
"I am surprised that you made such an error, Mike"
Mike was overwhelmed with guilt when he heard the remark, "If even the most intelligent person, such as yourself, could make such a blunder, it's frightening to consider the potential mistakes that others might make." The weight of his mistake hung heavily on him.
Mike felt a sense of relief when he saw the elders' response to his apology. "Forgive me, master," he said, bowing his head in contrition.
"I will not repeat this mistake again."
To Mike's surprise, the elders didn't seem angry or upset with him. They simply looked at him with understanding eyes and nodded in acknowledgement of his apology. Mike couldn't help but feel grateful for their leniency. After all, this was probably the first time he had done something that was referred to as a mistake.
