Chapter 59 (2/2)

…

Smick quickly brought Jason and Luen away to escape. Smick was already infected by the Soul’s blood, so he could easily be let go; Luen still had the potential to become top-tier food, so it was still too early to kill him, at the same time, Negary needed him to take Nala back to Interkam.

As for Jason, having been struck directly by the skull thrown by Connor Kenway, his inner organs had been mostly destroyed and would probably not survive for too long. If he could survive, then he had the potential to become the most excellent dish, on the other hand, if he died in Reya, his remnant soul wouldn’t be able to escape either way.

Noah brought Chris’ remnant soul towards Myerson who was now kneeling on the ground. At this point, Myerson had become completely fallen, having indirectly caused Augustin’s death, he had gone past the point of no return and could only fall even deeper.

“Lord Negary has made the arrangements for you” Noah stepped in front of Myerson and slowly told him: “Receive Chris’s remnant soul and become the leader of the Ghostmen”

“Ghostmen?”

“Indeed, the Crowmen were people who were implanted with the [Black Crow] germs, because of their stagnation, they have already been thoroughly destroyed during this battle and would soon undergo reorganization” Noah explained: “While the Ghostmen are a new group of soldiers completely different from the Crowmen”

“At this point, there are only three official members. You will be the fourth, and also their newly appointed leader”

“The so-called Ghostmen are people who are implanted with a secondary soul” Noah placed Chris’ remnant soul in front of Myerson: “The secondary soul selected for you was Chris’ remnant soul, you will obtain all of his abilities. Naturally, in order to successfully implant a remnant soul within yourself, you will first need to be modified into an Undead”

“Your body will be thoroughly modified, your heart, throat, head, and other human weaknesses will be thoroughly removed. You will no longer need to breathe and no longer need to eat or drink” Noah coldly continued: “Naturally, you will also obtain the ability that you so desired, the ability derived from diseases”

“Thank you for your blessings, Lord Negary!” Myerson accepted Chris’ remnant soul and said with a heavy tone.

…

When Smick carried Jason to the Royas Kingdom’s base within Reya, Jason was already unconscious, his life rhythm weakened so much that he could die at any moment.

Luen had already left at some point, saying that he wanted to look for the Knight of Divine Grace Rivers and quickly escape from Reya, bringing Isabella and her daughter with them.

As Smick looked down at Jason, he sighed, as comrades who had fought alongside one another to an extent, if possible, he didn’t want to let Jason just die like this.

As he glanced at the cutlass coated with a strange glow in his hand, a sudden thought appeared in Smick’s mind: [This blade can save Jason].

Clutching his head, Smick immediately used [Respiratory Art] to check his own rhythm, but couldn’t find Negary’s extremely ominous rhythm anywhere. Instead, he found that his body was constantly growing considerably healthier, even almost breaking through the human limit.

As a golden glint flashed in Smick’s eyes, he lifted the cutlass and stabbed it straight through Jason’s heart.

Jason instantly opened both eyes wide, awoken from his limbo. He could tell that ‘something’ about himself had completely changed.
