Chapter 402: Cutting off the tongue (1/2)
Chapter 402: Cutting off the tongue
A 2.5 meters tall creature who was made of white bones that swayed in disorder from the skeleton slowly made its way forward.
This creature was formed purely from bones that were as sharp as lances. The bones fanned out like blooming flower petals, completely obstructing the narrow passage. With each step, a dense aura of death assaulted their senses, as though warning everyone that it didn’t belong to this world.
As a high ranked undead creature, the bone demon had to bear the restrictions of the contract to enter this world. It brought along the netherworld’s deathly aura, desolation and loathing toward the creatures in this world. As it possessed high intelligence, it could sense the fear of the creatures in front of itself.
When it reached the entrance of the passage, the power of contract ordered it to halt. Its original intention to kill the creatures in front was abruptly forced to an end. When it had arrived, it had already furiously struggled against the caster’s contract and understood that the caster was capable of ruining its strength, so it hadn’t resisted.
When everybody inside the cave looked towards Asa, they naturally saw this huge bone demon coming and completely blocking the exit. Behind the swaying sharp spears of the bone demon came the constantly echoing sound of heavy footsteps, like drum beats pounding on their panicking hearts.
In the span of a few breaths, a few balls of ghostly fires lit up behind the bone demon, appearing like mini lanterns that slowly drew nearer along with the footsteps. When the ghostly fires reached the bone demon, everyone could see the shadows of a few huge knights under the light from the ghostly fires as they tightly blocked the exit.
At this point, everybody in the mountain cave knew that the only way out was sealed. If they wanted to leave, the only method was to kill the bone demon and evil knights. However, who knew whether there’d be countless undead creatures in addition to the bone demon and the evil knights?
Within the narrow mountain cave, If there really were a large number of undead creatures, as they didn’t have a light mage, it’d simply be harder to get out alive than to reach the sky. As these people’s brains quickly spun and they saw that these undead creatures had no intention of entering the cave, their anxious hearts temporarily calmed down. Their eyes couldn’t help but turn towards Han Shuo again.
At this moment, Han Shuo had cut all the chains off Trunks and had applied several colorful medicines on his body. Even the rotting wounds full of pus were cleaned up. During this process, Han Shuo’s darkened face looked terrifying.
“Count Bryan, this is none of your business. By saving Trunks, you’ll become the enemy of our three powers in the Valley of Sunshine. You should consider carefully!” Trulla stammered for a while, before summoning his courage to speak out toward Han Shuo under everyone’s intense gaze.
Han Shuo didn’t reply, not even turning his head to glance at Trulla!
As he placed his right hand on Trunks’ back, black rays of light entered Trunks’ body from the hidden angle. The unconscious Trunks could only sense that his fading vitality once again returned little by little.
Trunks gradually even felt a thread of strength. Harboring a bone-deep hatred, he abruptly shouted in his weakened condition, “Asa, I will kill you! I won’t let you off even if I die!”
Lightning archmage Asa clearly heard Trunks’ subconscious, weak shout. His face was immediately paled as white as paper, his fingers tightly gripping the magic staff. His eyes flickered as he turned to look behind. However, when he saw the bone demon’s blazing eyes and the evil knights riding their fire-spitting warhorses, he hastily turned his head back.
After the light shout, Trunks slowly regained his consciousness. As his strength and vitality gradually recovered, he opened his eyes with difficulty. The first thing that entered his eyes was Han Shuo’s frightfully somber face.
However, when he saw Han Shuo’s terrifying, gloomy face, Trunks was extremely excited. His mouth pulled up into a silent, wry smile, his dry lips slowly moved, “Bryan, you came?”
Nodding his head, Han Shuo softly sighed and said, “I came a little late, you are already this heavily wounded.”
“I’m not dead, so it’s not too late! As long as I’m not dead, I still have hope for revenge. Even if my arms and legs are cut off, at least I still have teeth, I want to devour these beasts!!” Trunks’ voice wasn’t loud, but the enmity in it caused everyone to feel an endless chill.
To the side, Asa felt a chill from the bottom of his heart. His eyes quickly looked around and glanced toward Trulla shortly after. By another side, Trulla was silently communicating with the people from the Cairo mercenary band. The gap between the three powers unknowingly narrowed, as they clearly knew what should be done when facing a common enemy.
Han Shuo was indifferent to their actions, only having his eyes on Trunks. Only after Trunks finished speaking did Han Shuo reply, “Don’t worry, you’ve eaten a Rebirth Pill, even if your tendons are cut off, I can still heal you till your previous state!”
“Gilbert, come over here and help me take good care of Trunks!” Han Shuo shouted towards the area behind Trunks. A rumbling sound could be heard from underground and a moment later, dark dragon Gilbert burrowed out.
When the mystical demon had spotted Trunks suffering such inhuman torture, Han Shuo had immediately ordered Gilbert to approach from underground at the fastest speed possible, while he summoned the undead creatures to seal the only way out of the cave. When Han Shuo had made his way to Trunks’ location, dark dragon Gilbert was still in the underground passage hence he was a few minutes slower.
After Gilbert appeared, he took a look at Trunks and his eyes became bloodshot. He instantly roared in rage, “I want to eat all of you!”
