Chapter 29

Shin spent an extended period gazing at the system following his perusal of the messages.
"..."
He was left speechless as he read the words on the screen, his mind struggling to process the implications of what he had just seen.
Shin's voice trembled with anger and disbelief as he glared at the system in front of him. "You!!" he shouted, pointing his paw accusingly at the screen. "You want me to die, don't you!? You want me to kill a ruler? Are you insane?!"
Monsters that rule over a particular region or terrain possess stronger and more advanced skills than other members of their species.
Clearly, completing the task assigned by the System would prove treacherous for Shin. It was as if the System was mocking him.
Already sensing something strange earlier, he finally comprehended its nature."Fuck," he mumbled under his breath, the weight of the situation sinking in.
As the ruler of the swamps emerged from the thick vegetation, he saw the ruler of swamps walking towards him, its towering figure casting a daunting shadow. 
This was the source of the ominous feeling that he had been experiencing.
Shin's heart was racing as he took a few steps back, his instincts screaming at him to flee from the approaching swamp ruler. "This is dangerous," he muttered to himself, fear edging into his voice.
*ZZZDDDZZZ*
Emerging from the bushes, a monstrous lizard revealed itself to Shin, dwarfing him in size by at least tenfold. 
Its scales gleamed a sickly green-brown in the dim light, and its mouth bristled with razor-sharp fangs.
It somewhat resembled the Grigard which Shin has seen earlier but it appeared more sophisticated.
"I'm done for..." he whispered to himself as he saw the lizard appear before him, bracing for the worst.
