As the fight was about to start, Iris shouted words of support to Shin, with a bright and cheerful face...
"Go Shin! Beat them down! Show them how weak they are then you!" <Iris>
However her Father and Brother still have their doubts whether Shin can defeat Dol and Bal by himself.
They thought he might be acting cool infront of Iris, so they asked Iris about who Shin is and other questions...
"Iris, how did you meet Shin? And is he really strong?" <Tokol>
"Yeah, I saw him appear from your shadows and that startled me. It was a magic ive never seen before. Im also curious about him." <Dan>
Asked with such questions, Iris happily talk about what he knows about Shin...
"Well... When i was uncocious after jumping into the river while running away from my pursuers, Shin found me and took care of me till I regain my concious. Im thankful for him that he saved me back there. And as for how powerful he is, i dont really know much about his abilities but what i can say is that..." <Iris>
Further explaining about Shin, Iris talked about how he manage to kill a High-ranked beast alone in under a minute, and also about that unusual ability that he used to materialize the dead beast from outta nowhere as if storing it.
Hearing such amazing feats and unknown abilities said by Iris, they became amazed as their doubts of Shin's victory slowly risen.
"Amazing... If you say such incredible things then he must be some strong adventurer." <Dan>
"Indeed. He holds unknown power and also using that weird ability to control that dark aura makes your story believable." <Tokol>
"Well... He said he's just a wanderer to me as well. I have my doubts about that but i am confident he is a good person!" <Iris>
"What basis can you prove that he is a good person?" <Dan>
"I just know it! My instincts tells me so!" <Iris>
Not wanting to tell them the reason why she trust him was that Shin did not attack her while she was unconcious, to her family. But most of all, he was considerate of her and very kind. He did not show any hint of indecency, though was abit bossy, she did not mind it. Iris smiled at the thought.
But Tokol and Dan made a wry smile at the baseless reason given by Iris. Unable to do much at the moment, they just stayed back and watch with their own eyes and judge Shin themselves.
While also preparing to take action in case Tokol and Bal might come to take Iris from them again.
...
Hearing Iris cheering him on, he made a sharp smile. Overjoyed that the woman he has his eyes on is supporting him.
Shana just made a warm smile as she watch Shin looking happy, though Shin does not know. Shana knows Shin desired this kind of situation so she did not say anything to interrupt him.
On the other side, Bal became enraged when he heard Iris cheering on someone else instead of him. Seeing the woman that should be his wife being happy for another man, his blood boiled. Due to that, his power surged, though his control over it becomes harder.
Dol told his son to calm down and gain proper control, but was ignored.
Seeing his opponent smiling after being cheered on by Iris, Bal snapped. He dashed forward to zero in on Shin, as he prepares to slash down Shin.
{This fast attack should finish him off.} <Bal>
From other people's perspective, it seems like Bal disappeared and reappeared in front of Shin in the blink of an eye.
However to Shin, it was as if time had stop and that Bal was running towards him in slow-mo.
{Too slow...} <Shin>
Bal swung down his sword vertically at Shin.
With that, Shin used his enhanced dagger to block Bal's sword charge. Bal was surprised that his attack was blocked easily.
Looking at Shin's face, he could see Shin starring at him with eyes that looks as if he is looking at a bug. Because of that Bal became even more angry and put more strength into the sword, to try and beat him using his full strength.
But to his further surprised, his full strength was easily countered by Shin's own strength. With that he thought...
{What the?! How can he stay so calm after going against my full strength strike??? What is this guy?!} <Bal>
Seeing his Son struggling, Dol too dashed forward. With the same speed as Bal, he attacked Shin with the same move except slashing horizontally.
Being able to easily see the incoming charge, Shin clad his left hand in dark aura and easily grab the blade of the sword swung by Dol.
Dol was also surprised that his attack was easily countered and voice out...
"What?! How?! Who are you?!" <Dol>
Right now, Bal is in front of him while Dol is on his left. His right hand is holding the enhanced dagger that is currently used to block the attack by Bal, while his left hand is clad in dark aura and is currently holding the blade of the sword of Dol.
Watching an unbelievable display of power by Shin, both Tokol and Dan were amazed as their mouth are wide open. On the other hand, Iris showed eyes filled with admiration while watching Shin.
Her heart beated faster the more she thought of Shin. Feeling that way, she whispered in a small voice...
"Shin-sama... I think im falling in love with you..." <Iris>
Too soft to hear by anyone, the battle continued.
But only one person heard it, it was shin. After hearing her true feelings of him, Shin was overwhelmed by joy.
Ignoring Dol's questions, he plans to end this now...
"Hmm... After clashing with both of you once, this fight is not worth dragging. I shall finish this now and extract that weak power out of you." <Shin>
With eyes showing boredom, he kicked Bal in the stomach. Unable to react to the fast kick, it caused him to fly across the room and crashing into the wall.
As for Dol, he lifted him up along with his sword, and threw him in the same direction. Crashing beside the same wall.
Both Dol and Bal fell to the ground and lay in pain from the impact against the wall. They tried to pick their swords up and stand but was unable to.
What happen was that Shin had use [Abyssal Darkness] to restrain both Dol and Bal to the ground. They were wrapped with shadow connected to Shin.
Shin walked towards them and raised his right hand forward, facing them. While doing that, in his head, Shin was curious about their powers and wanted to check them. He thought whether there is a skill to check other people's status. So he asked Shana...
"Shana, is there any skill to check other people's status?" <Shin>
{Of course. That skill is called [Review]. Use that to check other people's status. Funny how you just thought of this...fufu. Seems like you can be a dunce at times.} <Shana>
"S-shut up. I was too busy thinking of other things. You should have told me earlier." <Shin>
{Well... Watching you was too amusing.} <Shana>
"This goddess..." <Shin>
Getting picked on by Shana, Shin was annoyed but brushed it off. Feeling that it might be her way of trying to show her affection, he didnt mind it too much.
Moving on, he used [Review] on Dol and Bal. What was shown was that...

Seeing their status, he was surprised that their power levels are very low compared to his.
However what caught his eyes was their Divinity. 'Borrowed power of a Devil' , Shin found this interesting and wants to question them on how they got a hold of this power.
As he was about to ask, Iris came running to Shin and hugging him from the back.
"Shin-sama! That was amazing! You kept your promise! Thank you so much!" <Iris>
He could feel something soft touching his back. He knew exactly what it was, so he let her be and enjoyed the sensation, but was interrupted by Shana...
{Good for you...} <Shana>
{hmph. Since im in another world. I will enjoy what i desire and wont hold back.} <Shin>
With nothing to reply, Shana just kept quiet.
Shin turned his head around to look at Iris. What he saw was a big smile on her face, Shin find it very cute. He showed a smile as well.
While still being embraced by Iris, Tokol and Dan approached next.
"As Iris said, that was really amazing. Your power is superb. Their power was nothing compared to yours." <Dan>
"Indeed. We are lucky that Iris found you. If it werent for you we might be dead and Iris would be forced to marry that bastard. Therefore, thank you." <Tokol>
"Mhm. Anyways, im about to interogate them regarding their powers. You guys should listen." <Shin>
Saying so, they got closer. Iris continued hugging Shin and enjoying his comfort. Of coure Shin did not mind it, and enjoyed it as well.
Shin tunrned back towards Dol and Bal, and used his dark aura to lift Dol and bal up. They are now being lifted in the air, while still restrained by Shin.
They tried to break free, but as expected it was impossible. They begin thrashing around and spewing vulgars at Shin.
However Shin ignored their vulgars and asked...
"Shut up. Tell me how you got those powers?" <Shin>
"Hah! Why would we tell you?!" <Bal>
"Im not saying anything." <Dol>
"Suit yourself. I can just use my powers to extract information by force." <Shin>
Saying that, the dark aura began enveloping their heads, covering it up.
Shin had used another of his ability called [Mind Creeper] to read his target's mind. A great ability to get information from people forcefully.
As the ability activated, the information he needed begin to collect into Shin's own mind.
Small voices of shouting could be heard from Dol and Bal but were minimized due to the dark aura covering their whole head, including their mouth.
[Mind Creeper] faded, signifying that the necessary information Shin needed have all been collected.
Able to understand their power's origin from the information extracted, he is able to view it as if it was his own memory.
He then shared it with Tokol and Bal...
"It seems that a few days before they started their revolt, they were greeted by someone that seems to be a devil. He then gifted these two with dark power after eating a weird looking red fruit. From then on, their power level increased and hence be able to use these dark power." <Shin>
Hearing that, Tokol was specially furious...
"Elder brother! How dare you negotiate with a devil?! You are a disgrace! I will have you imprisoned forever with your Son. You can repent there." <Tokol>
Dol was going to argue back but was knock unoncious by Shin.
With that, his objective to help Iris is done.
"Looks like i am done here." <Shin>
"You should be rewarded then, Shin. What do you desi-" <Dan>
Dan was gonna ask Shin what he wants as a reward but was interrupted by Iris...
"Sh- Shin-sama! I have a request! W-would you please marry me!" <Iris>
"Eh...?!" <Tokol, Dan & Bal>
{Hooh...} <Shana>
Hearing Iris declaring her feelings, her father and brother were shocked. Shana was amazed. While Shin, as expected, he saw this coming and so he showed a delightful face.
