YM778.TV Chapter 263 The Festival - Part 2: Pretending To Prevent Info Theft
\'What does being hated have anything to do with this?\', Shin had a weird expression on his face as he looked at the dark elves.
He then turned his head towards the vulture-men and with the same expression, thought, \'They are the ones in the wrong.\'
\'So obviously they are the ones that need to be punished.\'
"…"
"Tell me, why did you come here?", Shin asked after thinking all that.
He glared at all the vulture-men who were essentially much larger than him. But since they were on the ground, as they fell earlier due to the impact from the magic of the dark elves, their point of the vision was a tad bit lower than Shin right now.
As he glared at them, chills ran down their spines. Of course, he had no intention forgive them and letting them go without giving a proper explanation.
And while he was asking, another vulture-man, who was much bulky, larger, and stronger than the puny ones arrived.
"I was the one who sent them.", he said with a deep voice.
"Master!", all three of them immediately got up and walked towards the vulture-man who arrived.
He seemed, a bit different from others in another aspect as well.
The vulture-men, in general, had wings, beaks, and eyes like vultures, but the remaining body was like that of a human. They had no tails.
Of course, it was equally heavier. It was touching the ground and as he walked, the tail left marks behind.
"Yes, I was the one that ordered them to come here.", the vulture-man said as he glared back at Shin.
Shin looked like a puppy in front of him. It was true for everyone in the pack, he considered himself quite powerful.
His eyes were glowing in red as he stared at Shin and then the dark elves.
"I was wondering what the waste dark elves were doing here…"
"But it looks like, they all followed a cheap piece of meat thinking they could regain their honor in the clan wars…", he said.
Shin just kept quiet and listened to whatever trash talk he had to do.
All he did was, check the vulture-man\'s status.

Shin, quietly observed his stats as he made his judgment.
Of course, right after looking at its level, he was sure that he could defeat him pretty easily. But after looking at some of his skills, both active and passive, he was rather surprised.
"Haha!"
"You puny dogs…", just as he said this, Aella lost her cool.
She almost instantly ran towards Nile.
But of course, he wouldn\'t let her approach him.
[ Warning ]
[ The targeted foe has used the skill Vulture Aura ]
[ Host is being affected ]
[ The system advises the host to lay out his aura domain ]
Well, for the first time, the system advised too quickly.
Yes, Shin wasn\'t exactly being affected by the aura that the vulture gave out. What he was actually affected was by seeing Aella getting pinned down on the ground.
\'System, what level is Aella at?\', he asked.
[ Aella is at Lv.65 ]
"…"
Shin totally panicked when he heard that.
He had earlier noted that Aella\'s max level was Lv.65 and wanted to make her evolve as soon as she reached that level.
Without Shin\'s help, it would be quite hard for her to evolve. However, he never realized when she ended up reachingLv.65.
But in any case, after seeing her getting pinned to the ground due to a skill used by the vulture-man, Shin couldn\'t show any sign other than disappointment.
He was about to use his Aura domain, but something weird and unexpected thing happened/
He soon realized what Aella was doing.
It was thanks to the system.
*Ding*
[ The system believes that the individual Aella is acting/pretending to be affected by the aura ]
[ The system believes she doesn\'t want to reveal her trump card after noticing some individuals watching her ]
\'Huh?\'
\'Who is watching her?\', Shin was surprised.
He didn\'t know that there were others that were watching her other than his own mates.
Of course, when he turned his head a bit, he realized that all the races there were watching with keen interest at the drama that was taking place.
\'No way…\'
\'Is he sent by someone else too?\'
\'Is it because they want to see our cards?\', Shin questioned himself.
[ Affirmative ]
*Ding*
[ Among all, there are some individuals that are watching her, who cannot be identified ]
[ It is beyond system\'s capability ]
The moment Shin heard this, he instantly realized who those beings were.
\'Celestials, eh?\'
He smirked.
He looked at Aella who was pinned down. Of course, others were under the effect of the aura and were pinned down as well.
It was all Aella\'s plan. The moment she rushed towards the vulture-man and the moment when he unleashed his aura, Aella almost immediately asked everyone to pin down under its effect.
But when did she tell them to do what she was doing?
Yes, without Shin noticing it, she had also acquired the skill Telepathy. Moreover, she had also acquired the skill – Eye of Analysis.
All these were acquired, without Shin\'s knowledge. That was why he was aware of the fact that he had the skill of unleashing aura and thus had an answer regarding it ready in her mind.
Shin got to know this after asking the system.
[ Affirmative ]
[ The individual Aella has the skills Eye of Analysis and Group Telepathy ]
He was the only one standing right now under the vulture-man\'s pressure.
He could hear some other beasts whispering to themselves, \'He really was the strongest one among them. Yes, sometimes appearances can be misleading.\'
Shin then smirked after hearing all that.
\'Aella…\'
Shin\'s eyes started to glow with green light as he called out her name in his mind.
*Ding*
[ You have used the skill Telepathy ]
\'Eh? Your highness?\', she was surprised when Shin called out to her using telepathy.
Of course, Aella forgot to say the plan to Shin.
Well, she never planned to say because she didn\'t want Shin to kneel before anyone. How could she see her lover kneeling in front of someone even if it was just for acting?
\'Why did you start this act?\', he asked.
Aella flinched because Shin realized what she had done.
She said via telepathy, \'I\'m sorry your highness but I thought this was the best course of action to prevent others from knowing about our skills.\'
After hearing that, Shin started laughing out loudly.
"Hahaha!"
"Haha!"
The vulture-man, who thought that he had to focus on Shin to make him kneel on the ground, was surprised after seeing Shin laugh.
Other races were surprised as well.
They made some comments, "Did he finally go insane?"
"Yes. That must be the case."
"Hahaha!"
"So what if they know about our skills?"
"It\'s not as if these weaklings can do anything even if they knew our secrets…", Shin\'s eyes started to glow yet again with green light as he smirked and looked at Aella.
*Ding*
[ You have used the skill Aura Domain ]
"…"
