Chapter 372 - Kindness (2/2)

Popping his bones into his fingers, Wang Ling endured the pain and then dragged the boar's body back home.

The boy was surprised by this sudden haul, after such a long time he would be able to eat meat once more.

When Wang Ling was about to gut the beast, Leo offered to help.

”Do you know how to do it?” asked Wang Ling.

”Yes, I know how to do it.”

Wang Ling stopped his asking and just let him do what he wanted.

”Do it, but if I see you struggling, I will come and assist you.”

”Thank you…” he said with a smile.

And to Wang Ling's surprise, Leo managed to clean the Boar in a manner of two hours. Though halfway through Wang Ling already began getting the water from the nearby river for their usage.

Seeing the prepared meat before him by a child made impressed even Wang Ling.

”Didn't think you'd be this good — good job.”

”Hahaha… thank you for the praises.” he made an awkward laugh.

”Did you learn it on your own?”

”Yes, I learned it after going to a slaughterhouse wanting to impress my brother… our family may have the title of noble but we had never been rich. I couldn't train in the ways of our family's fist technique, so I can at least have a future.”

”…he'd be proud of your achievements.”

The child smiled at Wang Ling's words.

The smile he possessed was forced, but that was only because he decided to also move forward. It would not be easy but he would try.

That night the boar was cleaned and roasted; they didn't have anywhere to keep it so they would have to eat it down to its bones.

Though it smelled a little, the meat was still rather delicious.

And while they were eating, Wang Ling an awkward silence pervaded the air.

It would not have mattered to Wang Ling because he preferred such silence, but he noticed the jittering Leo, wanting to ask something.

”Do you have something you wish to ask me?” Wang Ling decided to humor the kid.

”Ah, yes, I just want to know who you are… I don't really even know your name and know what to call you. You may possess my brother's body, but… I also know that you are not him, I wish to respect the name that has been given to you.”

Realizing that he had not even introduced himself to Leo made Wang Ling shake his head. It had slipped his mind.

”My name is Wang Ling; I am from the world called Celestial Spirit Realm. I am an Immortal who died trying to kill the person who controls the Abyssal Demons. I died, but… I managed to live, though it seems a lot of time had passed since that time.”

”Celestial Spirit Realm? Immortals? Abyssal Demons?”

”Oh, it seems like you don't know them. Well, to put it simply, the Celestial Spirit Realm is another world beyond the cosmos — Immortals are beings who possess great power and live for hundreds of thousands of years — and as for Abyssal Demons, they are what you call the [Demons of the Beyond].”

”You fought with the leader of the Demons of the Beyond!?” Leo threw everything that he been said to him as the last one was more important than the rest.

The Demons of the Beyond or the Abyssal Demons from what Wang Ling could recall has become a problem of this world. One part of this world had already been turned into a wasteland because of the Demons' existence.

These Demons were so strong that they were known as an unstoppable scourge. If not for the Sword God's interference then this world would have long been destroyed.

”Are you lying to me? Even the Sword God almost died trying to slay a Rank-9 Demon, and you're telling me you fought against their leader? That is simply unbelievable.” of course Leo would doubt Wang Ling's claims.

”It is up to you what to believe, but all I am saying is that I fought him. I actually thought I killed him, but seeing the Abyssal Demons are still around, I don't think I succeeded in doing so.”

Wang Ling already knew of the Gray Figure, or rather, the General's survival. He was simply being dramatic for the kid to replace the dampening atmosphere.

But one word stuck to him, ”Sword God” that simple title made Wang Ling smile.

From what he could from Lucius' memories, the title of Sword God belongs to only one person in the entire cosmos.

[How fascinating, a name that is claimed by only one person in the Universe. Maybe, if I can claim that title, it'll be easier finding my family.]

The title of Sword God interested Wang Ling.
