80 Chapter 80 (1/2)
”Now that we have that out of the way, its finally time for me to get some needed practice!” Clark murmured as he escaped once more into the night.
He did not even have to go out as he just used another pseudo teleport using the switch skill with his Blood Twin.
And for the first time in this new day, our good gamer has visited once more his favorite setting for an adventurous trip. A barren desert.
His usual playground to conduct his odd and myriad experiments with. Alas, it was only unfortunate that he could not use the same spot he went to earlier because it was nighttime at that place.
Clark instead searched for another fresh desert venue that has still a lot of sunlight left in them.
”BLINK!”
”BLINK!” two figures arrived one after the other. One wore an azure robe while the other person donned on a black cultivator's garb.
The former was of course Clark and the latter was his newly converted disciple.
”Tell me your name.” Clark said unto the old man before.
The dead assassin has no more cover on his face and Clark could see clearly enough that he was like them old goats from the Lu Family that he had seen earlier.
The undead killer's countenance was already well assaulted by time and its heartless changes.
”I am Tan Zan, master.” the dead assassin answered promptly.
”Tell me, Tan Zan... do you hate me for killing you?” Clark was curious to know the answer to this question.
”It is my honor to be murdered by you, master. This has given me the chance to serve you in death and i will most certainly not fail your expectations from me.”
Tan Zan nodded gravely as if these very words were now the mantra for his existence.
It would have been good to hear this kind of pledge at other times but at this moment, the feeling that Clark felt was absolutely far from delight at all. It gave him the chills and creeps instead.
”What's happening here, Nancy? I thought that these people retained at least their humanity in them. How come this old dude seems even happy that i put an end to his miserable life?”
Clark asked the system for guidance.
”Corpse Reincarnation, although powerful, still cannot defy the ancient laws of life and death, host.
This person may appear living as both his mind and body could provide evidence to his continued existence but the same could not be said to his soul.
This summon is nothing but a soulless heap of meat. It could not anymore feel any emotion of love and hate nor could it dream and retain obsessions of the heart. It is nothing but an empty shell.
A faded copy of its true self. Nothing more, nothing less.” Nancy responded.
”Hmmm... A bit disappointing.”
”And here i thought that this technique was like Edo Tensei wherein the summons could still feel and even give priceless warnings and advises to their foes when they were forced to fight their loved ones.”
”Oh well, not even i can change this skill's description. But i wonder how good it would be if i could somehow create new spells and fashion them exactly like i wanted.”
”I would be invincible if i had that ability!”
Clark was lost in his thoughts and has not been able to escape from it until the 30th breath. And when he did, Clark only has one order for his first NPC summon.
”Attack me.”
”Yes, master.” Tan Zan responded without any emotion whatsoever and just did what was asked of him.
What he failed to become in his life, he accomplished that in death. Tan Zan has now truly become a perfect assassin.
Not anymore living on the edge of death but has already embraced it as a fact of life.
”CHICKEN FLIES TO THE MOON!”
”BANG!” the desert sands exploded in the rampage of one man. Under the great heat of the sun, his figure could be seen dashing from left and right in a pretty intimidating manner.
”Pfft! Where the hell did the name came from?! How could a flashy technique earn this kind of ugly title?”
Clark almost laughed out loud on the spot but he managed to control his chuckles in order to observe his opponent's way of fighting.
”Interesting!” Clark mused.
Although Tan Zan was abruptly shortening the distance between them but in just one glance alone, it could be seen that this was not just a normal move but was indeed rather crafty.
Tan Zan would swerve from left to right and it would grant a mirage of afterimage that made it extremely unpredictable to counter.
'If Tan Zan and me were on the same level at 5th Stage Mortal Shedding Realm, i doubt that i could escape from this difficult charge. I would not last 10 seconds at this intensity at all.'
'It seems that i need to learn a few secret techniques for myself after this. But I'll be sure to get lots of freebies after i destroy the assassin's lair later.'
Clark noted as the former assassin's shadow traversed mercilessly towards him.
Still, even if Tan Zan appeared incredibly fast on these hot desert sands but in Clark's eyes, the man could not have appeared anymore slower before him.
”BOOM!” A flying man without wings soared the skies and dropped a body slam on its target. Alas, all he hit was empty air and some pebbles of molten dusts scattered in all directions.
”Come at me.” A voice resounded behind Tan Zan and when the undead assassin turned around, he witnessed that his master has now occupied his recent spot.
