Shin and the certain individual, along with all his followers, teleported at the center of the forest, just outside the town.
The shadow wolves were the first to run towards the town right after teleportation, and Shin, who stood there, remained in confusion. Nervousness was his companion at the moment as he gulped large chunks of saliva again and again.
After all, in front of him were destroyed homes and caves - everything shattered to pieces.
From one ruin to the other, Shin was now back home, but there was no one to greet him.
"MASTER!" Deoras, who had gone ahead, screamed as tears drenched his face.
Shin took bigger strides, closing the gap and arriving closer, only to find the crying Deoras with his head raised towards the sky. It seemed as if he was mourning.
"Deoras?"
"Master… everyone is dead."
That was something Shin didn't expect to hear. Dead? Who? Everyone?
His entire body trembled at the thought. He wanted to dismiss Deoras' notion but failed to. After taking a few more steps, he finally arrived in front of a large crater, and in that crater were the bodies of countless beings - all belonging to Shin's clan.
"No…" he muttered to himself as his gaze moved from one wolf to the other, and one goblin to the other.
"No way!"
As Shin found it hard to believe, his gaze landed on Blanca and Terran, who were just side by side.
The moment he saw them, he jumped from his place towards the crater, landing on some random bodies. He ran like a mad person and arrived where Blanca and Terran were.
"No…" he knelt on the bodies, slowly moving both his arms and touching them.
Their bodies were torn in the middle, and their furs were painted in red. The claws were ripped apart, and there were many arrow wounds, along with nails that stuck deep into their bodies - it seemed as if they were tortured.
"I shouldn't have gone away…"
"This is my fault…" Tears drenched his pale face. A lot of it entered his mouth, but most drizzled down his neck.
The crying caused him to sweat. And he felt his inner body burn with inextinguishable flames.
The shadow wolves were howling and crying in the same way behind him. However, as for the individual…
"This…" The individual who stood back watched the scene with interest.
He hadn't uttered a single word till now. However, weirdly enough, Shin's act and the bodies intrigued him.
'Why is he acting like that?' He tapped his chin as his curiosity rose.
'He surely can tell that these are fakes, can't he?'
Yes…
The bodies in front of Shin right now were fakes. They were close to real copies - dummies created by a certain someone to help the clan evacuate.
"Shin…" - the individual used telepathy to communicate.
Shin didn't respond despite the voice invading his mind. He surely did hear but neglected it. He did that only until the individual finally mentioned it.
"You do know they are fakes, don't you?"
The moment this echoed in Shin's head, the tears halted.
'Fake?', Shin thought to himself.
"Did you just say they were fake?" Shin used telepathy as well, asking the question.
"Yeah. These bodies never had any soul; that's pretty obvious… I mean, you do have your Universal Detect and God Eyes, don't you?"
"…"
'I have no idea what he is talking about, but are they really fake?'
*Ding*
[Do you want to activate All Seeing Eyes to discern the fact?]
'Yes, please.'
His eyes started to glow with a faint green light, and it was only then that he finally realized that indeed, the bodies in front of him were fakes.
What he saw after activating the skill was the bodies lacked any nerves. Heck, they had only peripheral basic blood vessels and a heart. They had some major organs such as the liver and stomach, but no pancreas or lungs! The bones were present, but cartilages were almost absent.
'Someone cloned all of them?'
Shin stood up almost instantly as he thought about it, turning back and jumping out of the crater, rejoining the individual and the shadow wolves who continued to weep.
'Well, that was embarrassing… I can't believe I was fooled like that,' Shin thought to himself as he wiped the tears away.
As for the individual, he approached Shin.
"Don't tell me, you acted that way to deceive the pests that are watching us?"
"P-precisely!" Shin smiled as he said that.
'What acting? I was-'
"Wait, pests?"
And just when he realized what the individual had said, his eyes widened right after which a loud explosion greeted him.
BOOM!
A lightning bolt from the sky came right towards Shin and the rest. If not for the individual erecting a barrier, Shin would have become toast!

A cloud of dust surrounded the scene, and before Shin could even question what was happening, a loud laughter erupted from the sky.
"Hahahahahaha!"
"Being able to block my attack! You are an interesting guy, Shin!"
The cloud of dust started to settle, and the view was now clear.
In the sky, levitating was a half-bird half-human creature, whose aura was way off the charts. Heck, his intense aura caused other beings in the forest to hide way below the earth or even run away.
The earth tremored with its presence.
"He is—" the individual beside Shin, who erected the red-translucent barrier, seemed rather surprised by the Lightning Eagle's presence.
"Greetings, myself Lesil, Supreme Celestial Rank 10."
As mentioned, it was the Lightning Eagle, a Supreme Celestial. Its upper half was that of an eagle with wings spread wide, and talon-like hands. Lightning streaks illuminated the sky and formed a breathtaking display of the eagle's power. Sparkles of electrified magic swirled around him, creating a rather deadly aura. In his hands, he held a bolt of blue lightning which he was ready to strike down at any moment.
Seeing this terrifying presence, even Deoras and the shadow wolves almost fainted. Just like the individual earlier, the commanding presence pressured them to bow.
Shin's instincts were roaring and commanding him to run away from the place, after all, the being in the front was something he couldn't match neither in speed, nor in defense or strength.
But there was someone who could do that.
"Don't resist and offer your life, Shin. If you do that, I will make your death painless, but if you resist—"
Withdrawing the barrier, the individual behind Shin walked forward, positioning himself in front of the mighty Lesil.
"Had fun peeking all this time?" he asked, interrupting Lesil with a smirk.
But right as he spoke that, a bolt of lightning coursed down from the skies towards him.
BOOM!
Another explosion followed.
"Petty insect, how dare you interrupt me?"
Lesil's roar transformed into a gust of wind that blew past a few of the corpses in the crater. It was almost as if a tornado was about to be created at the place.
This wind blew past the clouds of dust, revealing the individual who stood unscathed.
"What!?" Lesil was rather surprised to see this.
He was pretty sure that the attack hit him, and he didn't have enough time to erect a barrier, yet he remained unscathed. Just how in the world was that possible?
"Don't be surprised, Lesil… my friend over there is in his weak phase, and to protect him, I had to put up a barrier…"
"But for me… pfft, your attacks are nothing but little tickles."
The individual raised his gaze, staring right at Lesil who continued flapping his wings. Anger surged in him after hearing that.
"Know your place, damn plebeian!"
"Just because you avoided the attack due to luck, you started to act big and mighty?"
"You should know better than angering me!" Lesil roared again.
"Ugh, what can you possibly do? Tickle me again?"
"ENOUGH!" And with this, Lesil activated his domain!
"I, the Supreme Celestial Lesil, in my authority, curse you with eternal lightning!"
A semi-spherical dome-shaped translucent barrier filled with energy expanded from Lesil's talon. It expanded in all directions, covering everyone in its path.
It was Lesil's domain.
Shin could instantly tell the effects the domain had as he was engulfed within it.
*Ding*
[All your stats have been reduced by 50%.]
[HP and MP recovery is reduced by 50%.]
[The passive skill Shock Resistance is restricted.]
Of course, this was nowhere near the effects of the domain. A large number of clouds gathered right above. They packed a lot of lightning bolts and were ready to strike at any moment.
"Beg for forgiveness, fool, and I might just spare you."
It felt as if Lesil was giving one last opportunity, but no, he just wanted to see them grovel. He would continue with the plan anyway.
Leave groveling; the individual seemed rather nonchalant, sighing at the situation.
"Sigh…"
"Lesil, really? Is this why you were so confident?"
"Huh?" Lesil was confused about why he was so unworried, but it became all too apparent very soon!
"Well, let's see whose domain is stronger."
"I, Oni, the Ancient Monarch of Flames, curse you to burn in Hell-Fire!"
"…"
