Chapter 50 (2/2)

〖So this is the product of Eldridge’s creation?〗

Negary detached one of his finger bones, letting it float before flicking it away. The finger bone was turned into a streak of white light that directly struck one of the soldier’s swords. The sword was knocked away by the force of the finger bone, it then ricocheted off of it and directly hit the middle of the man’s forehead.

The soldier’s body collapsed directly on top of the path of bones. The wound on his forehead didn’t bleed, but rather started burning with that eerie red flame, the flame quickly spread until the entire body was engulfed in it. From the body, the flame rose again and again, apparently trying to manifest as something, but because of some reason, it couldn’t succeed.

The burning knight’s sword also fell on top of the bones, but strangely, the bones didn’t react to it at all, the flames only flickered briefly before it went completely out.

The others didn’t stop their advance just because of their comrade’s death, they all raised their swords burning with the strange fire as they quickly closed in on Negary and swung their swords at him from different directions.

〖 How foolishly courageous 〗Negary sat still on his throne of bones and didn’t bother to move much. He only swung his hand forward and countless bones on the ground immediately shot up like a barrage of projectiles towards the soldiers, forcing them to take evasive maneuvers.

One of the bones that were shot out was a spine, as it flew by one of the soldier’s heads, it acted like it suddenly came to life and coiled around the Royas soldier’s neck, squeezing tightly.

The man became flustered as he tried to pull the spine away with one hand while he held his sword with the other, but it was to no avail.

Negary continued to control the bones around him to shoot at the soldiers to force them away, while his finger coiled inward and pulled the soldier with the bone coiled around his neck towards Negary.

Several other spines emerged from the ground and coiled around his limbs, completely restraining him no matter how hard he struggled.

〖 It only looks like fire, but actually isn’t? 〗Negary mused and gestured with his hand, controlling this soldier through the spines to hold his own sword against himself.

As the burning red flames approached the soldier’s body, something could faintly be seen moving beneath his skin. When the flames directly touched him, the thing beneath his skin exploded outward.

They were his veins. The veins caught fire and burned with blood-red flames that broke through his skin, but instead of blood, he was bleeding the same kind of fire.

〖Flames that only burn blood? It seems even going into contact indirectly with this flame would cause it to be ignited〗

Negary continued to analyze the flames as he manipulated the man to touch another place on his body with his sword.

And another fire erupted, Negary was quite intrigued by this red flame, and from what these soldiers had shown, within the Royas Kingdom, the technology behind this power had grown to be quite developed.

〖 Eldridge would most likely be quite the delectable fruit 〗Negary had such a thought as he raised his hand upwards. A cutlass that abruptly appeared out of nowhere was caught on its downward swing.

〖 Did you think I couldn’t see you, human? 〗with a flick of his finger, Smick’s body was forcefully expelled from his camouflage and sent flying backwards.

〖 Do you still intend to resist? 〗Negary spoke with a light tone as he stood up from his throne, yet his voice carried an air that didn’t permit rejection: 〖 Kneel, gentlemen 〗
