Chapter 43: Hades
Walker no longer exists, what is being held by Owen is just a cold corpse, yes, Walker is indeed not Owen's friend, if he is just a friend, now Owen will no longer be able to make any sound, he is already hoarse, and even the worm crawled out of his mouth without realizing it
Grief, anger, or luck mean nothing to Owen, as if he has become a puppet who doesn't feel anything
To live is to take on the life of another person to live...... The only thing that remained in Irving's mind was his last promise to Walker, and the only reason to keep him alive
The brutal death match has ended, and Owen, who is the only victor and has half his life left, has finally survived, but Owen has never thought that the real hell has just begun
I don't know how long it took for the necromancer who forced them to kill each other to turn back and pick up the half-dead Owen like a used piece of waste, and the necromancer took Owen back to the island of the dead and imprisoned him alone in a cave
Although the cave is small, the environment is much better than the large cave room where the group lived at the beginning, Owen can at least see the sunlight outside through the small hole in the cave wall, and can still drink clean water, the cave also has a stone bed and some quilts for heating, so that he will not be shivered by the cold stone slab, and every day, in addition to a hearty meal, the necromancer will also send some healing herbs for Owen to use to heal himself
When he heard that there was something strange next door, Owen knew that the small cave he lived in was not the only one, in addition to him, there were more than 40 people imprisoned around, all of them survivors who had survived the Ghoul Island and the death match, and each of them was placed in a separate small cave to heal and live in a small hole in the door of the Guò cave in Owentong, and saw that several people who were imprisoned in other small caves were pulled out every day, and the next day some were sent back half-dead and others never returned, and after a few days new people were sent into the empty small cave
Years later, Owen learned that the place he was in was in a special corner of the Island of the Dead: Hades
The Island of Death (Bad Skantsa) is a beautiful island covered by tropical rainforest, there is a steep mountain in the center of the island, the local islanders call it Uniini, which means a lot of stones, compared to the scenery below the mountain, there is no grass on the mountain, it is a bare stone mountain covered by dense fog all year round, plants cannot grow, let alone animals, because there is no value for planting and hunting, usually the islanders rarely go to this mountain; Since the necromancers moved into the island, Uniini has become an absolute forbidden place for the islanders, and the necromancers have hollowed out almost the entire interior of this stone mountain, and the entire Uniini Mountain has become a stronghold and cultivation place for necromancers like a huge fortress
It is difficult for people on the mainland to imagine how this group of uncivilized islanders can coexist peacefully with the terrifying and evil necromancers, in fact, necromancers rarely interact with the islanders, and contact, disturbance, and killing the islanders are extremely serious crimes, and like other countries, the Lich King has set strict laws in his own kingdom to strictly regulate the behavior of necromancers, and anyone who breaks the law is sent to a prison called Hades to pay for their crimes
Located at the southern foot of Mount Unini, the Warden is a major minister of the Lich King Carloving, who has served Carlovin for a thousand years, and has been unswervingly carrying out the orders of the Lich King, serving as a faithful warden in the Underworld - however, time can change, due to spending too much time with criminals, and understanding of those prisoners has become deeper and deeper, even the most loyal guards have been more or less affected, and because of this, Buyos has gradually developed his selfishness, and he has done many secret deeds behind the back of the Lich King, including his Ten Heavenly Kings
The so-called Ten Heavenly Kings are the ten necromancers loyal to Buyos, led by Shank and Tegurai, among these ten, the bloody gardener Shank and the grave keeper Tygurai are the strongest, the two of them are the left arm and right arm of Buyos, the other eight are: Raqilu, the Master of Curses, Vladimir the Soulbinder, Maloway, the Zombie Commander, Gliston the Corpse Cleaner, Dal Fursfi, the Plague Spreader, Kassandrona the Dark Alchemist, Blair the Ghost Assassin, and Latik Nightrain, the Death Courier
After the end of the Demon Warring War 2,000 years ago, the Lich King Callowan has been abiding by the agreement with all the races on the continent, strictly restraining the behavior of his necromancers, and not allowing them to set foot on the mainland for half a step, in exchange for the recognition of the necromancers to survive on the island, which won the space for the necromancers to survive, and ended the pursuit of the Central Church and the coalition forces of the various races; However, some necromancers were extremely dissatisfied with this, they believed that necromancers should pursue a vast continent instead of being trapped on a remote island, and they repeatedly proposed to the Lich King to return to the mainland, and the Lich King brutally suppressed them, and all necromancers who thought this way were imprisoned in the Underworld, and in order to realize his ambitions, the prison warden Buyos recruited a group of powerful and loyal prisoners into his ten heavenly kings, except for Blair and Lattic, who were brought back from outside the island by Buyos, the other eight were once prisoners in the Underworld
Now, Buyos is going to carry out an important plan, the core and most critical part of the plan is to need a living person with the most tenacious vitality, so Buyos asked the zombie commander Mloway to secretly go to various parts of the mainland to collect survivors who have survived wars, accidents, and disasters - these people can survive in the cruel environment of nine deaths, which shows that their vitality is higher than ordinary people
If these people can hold out until they are brought back to the island of death, they are held in a large cave until they have fully recovered from their injuries, and then under the auspices of the cursed master Raqiu, the survival of Ghoul Island and the death match in the large iron cage are two brutal tests, and one of the most tenacious survivors is selected from each batch of more than 20 people
But for the survivor who survived, perhaps death was a blessing, and to live meant to face a series of the world's most tragic and dehumanizing realities in the days to come
Buyos needed the strongest and most tenacious real yàn, but more than a decade had passed and the real yàn that met his requirements had not yet appeared
Lying on the stone bed for more than two months to recuperate, Owen has recovered from the fatal injuries sustained in the death match, and today he is taken to a real yàn room, where a middle-aged woman comes to Owen, who is the host of the real yàn - the dark alchemist Kassandrona, one of the ten heavenly kings
Unexpectedly, this time it was a 12-year-old Kassandrona who looked up and down at Owen who was tied to the bed.
