246 Day 1 Part 2 (2/2)

Given that Shin had the Ultra Instincts inside the game, he was able to move his body in time and dodged to the side so that he could avoid colliding with her.

Unfortunately, the girl happened to also move that way, making for Shin's efforts futile.

Ah!

Shin and that figure collided with each other, causing the two of them to lose their footings and became out of balance.

Shin unconsciously stretched his arms forward and embraced the figure in front of him out of instinct before turning his body towards the ground to protect her during their fall.

Thud!

The girl was naturally Cloe, and she was currently having her eyes closed as she was gotten off-guard of what had happened.

She stayed at that position for quite some time, before she felt that nothing happened. Then she opened her eyes slowly to see what happened and that was when she discovered that she was in Shin's arms.

She was surprised at first before having a mixed feeling. Her heartbeat started beating faster as her blood rushed to her face. Feeling the hot sensation on her face, her cheeks turned rosy as she suddenly felt shy and embarrassed.

Even if she used to tease him from time to time, this was her first time being hugged by him. She still felt safe and secure in his embrace, making her wish to stay on that moment forever. It felt so surreal that she was left in daze.

And when she turned her head up, she was greeted by Shin's face that was so close too hers. Even if he was currently wearing a mask, her face still couldn't help but turn even redder especially that her body was pressing at Shin's along with her weight.

And her embarrassment intensified when she heard Shin's voice saying. ”Yo! You're back early. How was your rest?”

But…

Wasn't she supposedly mad at this guy for calling her an Amazon earlier?

Remembering that moment, Cloe clenched her fingers into a fist before pushing Shin away to escape from his arms. After that, she punched him on the face with all her might.

Pak!

”What do you think you're doing for hugging a woman?” said Cloe as she stood up.

Shin, on the other hand, was staring at her with a confused look at his face. 'What did I do wrong?'

Seeing that look, Cloe threw him a fierce glare while saying. ”That is what you get from taking advantage of me. Hmph!”

Then Shin rubbed his cheek before muttering to himself. ”Did you ever hear me complain whenever you are the one taking advantage of me openly? What's with this unfairness?”

”What did you just say?” asked the Cloe.

But before shin could say something...

Cough! Cough!

Simba was the one that complained first, saying. ”Are the two of you done being lovey-dovey? If not, can you stop being a pair of love birds for now and get ready. The wave of monsters is already coming.”

Cloe turned her head at him to redirect her glare. But before anything else, she started chanting out some prayers to cast a buff after buff at the two for the upcoming round of battle.

Meanwhile, Shin did a kick up to stand up from the ground before getting ready from the next fight. And when he looked at the distance to see what kind of wolves that they need to deal with, what he saw was something really unexpected.

Just like before here were a lot of silhouettes that were coming after them. But this time, Shin could see that these incoming corrupted monsters were something that was even more troublesome.

”Werewolves this early of the wave? Tsk! Looks like this monster horde event is going to be a bloody one during its ends,” muttered Simba as he looked at the incoming monsters.
