Shin got up from the bush, throwing his bag down as he prepared to march forward. He made his way towards the agitated demon jackals.
As soon as he got close enough, all the jackals turned and looked at him with infuriated glares.
The jackals began moving around Shin forming a wide half circle. Shin stood puzzled by this action.
Since when do demon jackals work together in these high numbers.
Bael looked on in confusion.
Well my father's successor should be able to handle a few dormant monsters. Though their wind magic is problematic.
"Have fun student," Bael said as he jumped into a tree and watched the battle that was to unfold.
Shin stood in front of the group of demon jackals. All the demon jackals opened their mouths and let out a concentrated gust of air.
Shin used wind magic to propel himself up into the air.
"Dark magic remember," Bael instructed.
Shin rolled his as his right hand turned pitch black, his shadow enveloping him and his already black clothes.
He thrust his robotic left hand forward and tentacles burst out from it. They tore through the demon jackals as most evaded the attack.
Shin landed at the now destroyed terrain and smirked.
"Really man, this is child's play," Shin yelled out arrogantly.
Bael simply pointed at the demon jackals. When Shin turned around he was met with an unpleasant surprise of large jaggered teeth.
Shin was unfazed by this. He stuck his robotic arm into the mouth of the demon jackal.
In the next instant, the demon jackal's torso ripped open as black tendrals split it into two halves.
Shin then threw the corpse aside. The other demon jackals growled as the white contraption on their ribs glowed green.
"Hey Bael. How worried should I be?" Shin asked as he face grew more concerned.
"Demon jackals are light and built for speed. Their white chest piece glows when they are prepping to go Godspeed or release howling winds," Bael said laughing.
Shin readied himself as one of the demon jackals let out a huge howl of wind. Shin quickly responded by lifting his hand forward.
A ball of wind formed on his palm and then started compressing. The wind rushed out in a compulsion ray sort of way.
Shin's wind repulsion technique cut through the demon jackal's howling wind and hit the with such outstanding force it broke its white rib contraption.
"Hey. Dark magic Only!" Bael yelled as he hurled a branch and hit Shin.
"How the hell am I supposed to do that with dark magic," Shin retaliated.
"Figure it out genius," Bael scoffed.
Shin stared at his hands.
The only thing closest to that would be void strike.
...
I'll need something stronger to test it on.
Shin then looked at the remaining demon jackals that were starting to slowly flee from him.
A few of the demon jackals that were not fleeing charge at him with speed that left sonic booms behind.
These booms dazed Shin as the jackals tried to gang up on him. But with swift and methodical precision, Shin slashed them up using his enhanced robotic hand.
The rest of the demon jackals backed off.
"Ohohoho. Finally a challenge," Bael cheered as a larger demon jackal walked towards Shin, the others jackals bowed down to it.
It's orange fur was silky smooth as well as having white skeleton like contraptions on its chest and jet like thrusters made of bone on its hind legs.
It toward over the other demon jackals and was tall enough to measure up to Shin's neck while still on all fours.
Shin immediately knew from the colour of its aura that he was now facing an awakened demon jackal.
