Volume 1 The Storm Rises Chapter 33 Leorick? Shadows?
The dripping humanoid skeleton slowly passed through the hole in the middle of the river, and its red-glowing eyes looked so abrupt in the dark night.
Sean, who was hiding in the distance, saw the skeleton come ashore and realized that it wasn't just because of his glowing red eyes that he could see him clearly. The skeleton walking on the land emitted a red light under his feet, like a red magic array carved under his feet, with the skeleton as the center, and moved with it.
Oh no, that's Sean's first reaction. Unlike the disgusting and fat giant, you can feel the evil at the first sight of this skeleton.
The skeleton seemed to be a substitute for death, and with every step he stepped on the earth, both the grass and the tender flowers withered. The earth faded its green color and was replaced by a black barrenness.
The creatures that inhabit the trees were alarmed by this evil aura, and the squirrels left their stored food and fled from the warm hollows. Every movement of life drew the skeleton's attention, and it was not until the weak animal fled the dangerous place that the skeleton stopped its death-like gaze.
What kind of monster is this, is it said that the other side of the river is the habitat of monsters? Why did there be so many accidents tonight to escape the life of that terrible giant, this skeleton was the second evil creature Sean saw tonight.
You must make it clear that Sean has made up his mind, otherwise who knows when he will encounter such an accident, and he can't give up the battlefield as a good place to improve his strength.
Hiding behind a tree, Sean was glad that the creatures around him had not alerted the skeleton when they fled, and the skeleton had not come to Sean's hiding place to search. The skeleton seemed aimless, standing still and thinking about its next move.
Could it be that this skeleton is also here according to the queen's wishes? Like a giant, in order to fill your belly?
How do skeletons eat?
In the next second, Sean got the answer.
I saw the skeleton stop in place for a long time, and suddenly the palm of his hand was inserted into the sole of his foot, and a scream came from the ground.
It turned out to be a groundhog like Sean, waiting for the skeleton to leave.
Ahh The dog's characteristic voice sounded the silent night completely, and if the skeleton had an expression, it must be a foolish smile.
The groundhog, stuck in the knife, struggled unresignedly until the pair of teeth bit off its head.
Blood flowed down the skeleton's vertebrae, teeth crushing the entire groundhog's body, and the minced flesh fell to the ground through the non-existent throat through the skeleton's body, but the blood attached to the bones disappeared.
The upper teeth kept touching the lower teeth, as if they were carefully chewing on a hard-won delicacy before they stopped.
Somewhat dissatisfied, the skeleton decided to leave, looking for more food, its reddish eyes scanning the surroundings for the remaining creatures, and then walking towards the nearest lifeform.
Sean, who watched the whole process, was frightened, because Shaun did not only see the crushed corpse of the groundhog, but the small soul of the groundhog struggling in pain in the skull's mouth, making a miserable cry until its soul was completely chewed up.
At that moment, Sean could feel the impulse in his body to snatch the soul, the soul of extreme fear and despair.
Damn, what's wrong with this passive ability? Isn't it true that you have such a strong urge for this creature?
Sean covered his mouth to prevent himself from making a sound out of fear, and the impulse in his body kept urging him to snatch the soul from the skeleton's mouth, and when the skeleton completely ate the soul, the urge reluctantly calmed down.
Hiding behind a tree, holding back his shaking legs, Sean regretted that he didn't leave in the first place, and once again he could only pray that the skeleton would leave quickly, and he didn't want to explore the situation on the other side of the river.
Do as much as you can, Sean can deeply understand this truth. It would have been a good choice to return to the camp when he had escaped the catastrophe, report the situation to the authorities, and let someone stronger deal with it, and then take a step back and leave the battlefield, at least there would be no such strange thing happening in Chongjin Town.
Sean regretted leaving the Book of Rubick in his room, even if it was a useless book, or a book of teddy, and he didn't even know the ancient words, at least it could still be used as a shield, and his thousands of years of knowledge could provide valuable advice in today's situation.
Praying, pleading in his heart to different gods to keep the skeleton away from him. His legs, which had gone limp, could no longer help Shaun escape, and Sean buried his head in his knees, hoping that the approaching footsteps would ignore his presence.
The surrounding trees, flowers and plants let out a mournful cry unwillingly, and they could only be sucked out of life by the skeletons and slowly withered.
The big tree where Sean was hiding, the leaves fell from the branches, and the green color was quickly charred visible to the naked eye, falling to the ground and disappearing.
Eventually, the tree could not bear the loss of life and turned into black char completely.
The pressure fell on Sean, and he raised his head helplessly, and in front of him was a pair of empty eyes that emitted red light, looking directly at Sean's inner soul through Sean's frightened eyes.
Sean's souls protested, hoping that the owner of the place where they lived would shatter the evil eyes, the monster that could destroy them.
"Sean, what did you do? What the hell is this, don't let him eat me. โ
Cindy's soul cried helplessly inside Sean, and he could no longer say anything to seduce Sean at this moment, like a helpless lamb, waiting for death to come.
Sean couldn't answer Cindy, fear crept in, and Sean couldn't muster the courage to go against the skeleton.
Unlike being caught by a rancid and obese giant, Sean can still hope to live, and facing the skeleton is like facing the gate to hell, despair and fear fill the whole person, and he can only accept it passively and passively.
"One, twoยทยทยทยทยทยท Seven, great souls, a delicacy that has not been enjoyed for a long time. โ
Hoarse, this is the first impression of this voice to Sean, different from the sound produced by the vibration of the vocal cords, the skeleton's words seem to come from the depths of the soul, and the skeleton's soul seems to come out of hell thousands of miles below.
A voice without a trace of emotion, more like a prelude to taking away life, a substitute for death.
"Wait..." Looking at the skeleton getting closer and closer, and about to bite off Sean's head in that big mouth, Sean bit his lip and squeezed out a sound.
"You can't eat it, what are you? I'm the companion of that smelly fat man. โ
The giant spared himself, and perhaps the skeleton would consider himself as a companion, though it was unknown how the giant confirmed the conditions of his companion.
"Companions? What is that? The skeleton seemed to have not heard a human voice for a long time, and after thinking for a while, he said from the depths of his soul, "Leorik has no companions, and death is the best companion, do you know?" Interesting life, I have never seen a human with so many souls in the body. Human, please me, for this is the first time I've seen a human since Rakdanan. โ
"You... You're coming from the other side, right, and so am I, the queen told me to come. Swallowing his saliva in anticipation of moistening his dry mouth, shivering, Sean replied, "Do you know the fat man with the hook?" I am Brother Iron with him, we eat and sleep together, and if you eat me, my brother will avenge me. โ
Listening to Sean's words, the red light in the skull's eye hole flickered continuously, and the big knife was inserted at Sean's feet, and his fingers clicked on the shield.
"Cunning human, it's a pity I don't know any fat man with a hook, you're lying."
After saying that, the skeleton or Leorik didn't plan to give Sean another chance to speak, maybe he just wanted to hear the human voice.
Raising his weak arm and closing his eyes, Sean roared, "Aren't you afraid of the Queen?" The queen will avenge me. โ
"Queen?" The skeleton stopped, and it worked.
Sean continued: "The queen is very attentive to me, or she would not have sent me over, you dare to disobey the queen's orders?" โ
The shield was stuck on the ground on the other side, and the skeleton was a little afraid of the queen in Sean's mouth, even though Sean still didn't know what the queen was.
"That slut won't like a human, and a slut's orders won't work on an emperor." Pill, the skeleton is actually an emperor, shouldn't the queen be his wife?
"I'm not a human, it's just that the appearance of a human is easier to mess around here, I'm a very chaotic and evil existence, I don't want to kill my companions and make the queen unhappy."
I, Shaw, is panicking at the moment, and I only have the weapon of the mouth cannon, if the traverser can be the protagonist, then God, accept my Sean's mouth cannon.
Sean was stared at by the skeleton, as if to determine the truth of Sean's words.
Just like that, the white bone skull was pressed against Sean's head, looking straight into his eyes, cold sweat soaking Sean's back.
The red light of the eyes, through Sean's body, was not like looking directly at Sean's soul before, as if he was simply observing every detail.
"Damn," the skeleton hurriedly distanced himself from Sean, "I knew that slut was with some despicable bastards, damn Shadow Clan, and you wanted to snatch my soul?" โ
Shadow One, what's it, meow meow, what are you talking about?
Sean was almost about to throw the new three consecutive on the skull's face, but considering that the occasion was so serious now, Sean endured it, and it turned out that it was so uncomfortable to endure and want to take it.
"Don't mess with us, damn skeletons, do you want our revenge?" Xiao temporarily changed the race and Enhu fake tiger said, it seems that this race is still very powerful, and it can be used to act under this name in the future.
"Revenge? Okay, take revenge, I'll take it, you deranged insane, crazy souls will never serve Skeletron's table. โ
The skeleton said angrily, and picked up Sean, "Get out? Foolish and despicable Shadow Clan, go back to where you belong, the soul of this land will always belong to Skeletron. โ
"Damn, what are you going to do? Don't do anything to me, put me down, and be careful that I return my hand. "It seems that there is no need to worry about his life, and Sean's two escapes of death tonight make him believe that Lady Luck has not given up on him.
"Hahahaha," the skeleton clutched its non-existent stomach at the discovery of the words, "remember, don't try to snatch a soul from Skeletron again." โ
"How about robbing it, you... Ahhh โ
Before Sean could say anything more, he held Sean in his left hand and put his right hand into a fist on Sean's chest.
The skeleton said angrily, "Go back and stay where the despicable belong." โ
After saying that, the skeleton's right hand burned, and the red circle under his feet emitted a dazzling light, and Sean closed his eyes unnaturally.
A powerful impact hit Sean's chest, feeling the ribs in his chest almost shatter to slag, and blood spurting out of Sean's mouth. The powerful impact slammed into Sean's massive hole in the river, piercing through it, knocking Sean into a withered tree on the opposite side.
Looking at Sean who was successfully knocked flying, the skeleton continued to search for a delicious soul with satisfaction, and Sean stretched out his middle finger from the hole in the smashed tree and fell asleep.
