Chapter 247: Forbidden Skill - Part 1 (1/2)

Old man Rick leaned his back against the wall, releasing out a sigh before scanning his eyes on Tang and the cleric. He had heard about the [Revival] during his heyday as an adventure. However, the skill was regarded as a forbidden skill because it needed a human sacrifice.

The old man never thought he would hear the skill now, ”Are you sure about this? That's a taboo skill, you will–” you will be hunted down by the churches, but then he realized the church was their enemy.

”I don't care. A skill exists to be used, whether it's taboo or not. In the first place, you guys regarded the skill as taboo, not me. It may be taboo for you, but not to me,” Tang Shaoyang replied to the old man's unfinished words, ”Moreover, I am not asking your permission, with or without your permission, I will resurrect her. I am here to take her body.”

”Hahaha… You are right, who cares about the taboo thing. I will let you have her once again, she's level 31, that's what you want to know, right?” The old man let out laughter. At this point, the old man no longer feared the church, ”It will be hard for you to look for the sacrifices.”

”No, that's actually easy. We already have 32 sacrifices, I only need to look for 68 sacrifices,” the 32 Royal Knights who survived the [Thunder Storm] were good sacrifices. Actually, he wanted to torture them for his pleasure, not expecting them to be used as a sacrificial pawn.

”And I have one with me,” the old man jumped and rushed out. He returned with a man wearing leather armor. The man's face full of bruises and tears, ”I am sorry, Chief! I don't know that they will start to kill the villagers too. They told me they would just catch the adventurers,” the man was pleading while being dragged by his feet.

However, Chief Rick did not bother with his plea as he threw the man toward Tang Shaoyang, ”Make it 33, this man deserves death.”

The man turned his head toward Tang Shaoyang, his eyes widened in shock before he wriggled hard and yelled at Tang, ”It's him! If you want to blame someone, it should be him! If he did not offend the church, the Royal Knight would not chase us!”

The man was screaming hard, but Tang Shaoyang turned toward the old man. He recognized the man, he was one of the villagers, ”He's the traitor, he leaked our hiding location to Lord Roman for a few gold coins.”

Tang Shaoyang's eyes became increasingly cold as the long lost wide grin formed on his face. He squatted down next to the tied man, ”A rat huh!?” He held his cheeks with his right palm, ”Death is too light punishment for him, do you think, Chief?”

He stood up while glancing at the old man, ”Save him for me, I want to have fun with him later,” after saying that, he stepped on the man's stomach.

Kuarghh!

The man groaned in pain, he curled his body with his eyes wide. Tang Shaoyang did not stop there and kicked the man in the face. He made sure to control his strength so the man did not die.

Punches and kicks sent toward the man, the building soon filled with screams and cries. Chief Rick merely watched it from the side, he said nothing of what Tang did to the man. It was full five minutes before he stopped beating the man.

”That's enough for now,” Tang Shaoyang turned toward Arina, ”Heal him but not a full recovery, just make sure he does not die. I am not done with him.”

The man was whimpering in pain, pleading to Tang but it was ignored, ”You and your people should leave now, they may send more knights. We can't stay in this village anymore.” He spoke to the old man
