Chapter 208: The Persus Family
Pokrarus Village, in the underground tower
Seraph stands facing Li Wen, who has half his bones and his right arm severed.
Seraph stares at Li Wen's right arm. [While I don't know if this is correct, at least that right hand bone must be related.
We must lure him into sparing his life and find another way to survive.
He said his right hand, and this place is made up of bones. Most of it is his right hand.
It must be true. If it's not, I'll die instead.]
Li Wen tilts his head, his red eyes staring at Seraph.
"You took it?"
"No, a young woman buried it in the ground outside this place."
"Are you with that child?" "
"No, sir. I was just passing by and happened to see a young girl burying a bone hand."
"Where is that place?"
"I'll volunteer to help you find it. No, I'm happy to take on this responsibility, to bring it back to you."
Seraph bowed. "I'll bet my life on it. I'll definitely find that for you."
"Tell me the location, or you'll die."
Li Wen strengthened his strength, preparing to kill Seraph.
Seraph raised his hand to stop him. "Wait a minute. I'm on your side."
Li Wen walked towards Seraph, his face unblinking. The ground shook slightly from the movement of his body.
Death was slowly approaching Seraph.
"If that's true, what's our boss's name? The one who created the skeletons and the creator of the white demons.
The entity that brought death back to life. Tell me, what is our boss's name? The Great One Who Overcame All Death?
Seraph remained calm. [What the hell, these bosses weren't even mentioned from the start.
I don't know any of you. I replied, "Pegasus..." It doesn't seem right.
I replied, "I don't know. The boss didn't tell me. There's a high chance I'll survive."
"I'm sorry, but the boss didn't tell us his name.
We're so lowly that we don't need to know his name."
"Are you kidding me? Prepare to die. Tell me the location of the hand now. I'll hurt you. It'll only hurt a little.
Tell me where it is."
Li Wen approached Seraph. Blood was flowing from his mouth, bones were visible,
and organs were coming out of his eyes, revealing his eyes were alive.
Seraph stood motionless. "Our boss, let me guide you to where the hand is."
Because you couldn't find that place, I was sent here.
Li Wen extended his left hand to strangle Seraph. Whoosh! Thud!
Ugh?
Seraph was grabbed by the neck and lifted up. Seraph's feet couldn't even touch the ground.
Li Wen's hands were covered in blood, leaving Seraph's neck covered in blood and brown mud.
"Are you saying I can't find that thing?"
Seraph maintained his calm demeanor, his eyes still fixed on Li Wen.
[Successful deception. This is clearly a secret technique. First, let me go. What the hell are you trying to do?
I can't speak like this.]
"If you hurt me again, the boss will come down and take care of it. So, stop. This isn't the right situation."
Seraph's eyes reflected Li Wen's angry expression.
Li Wen was extremely angry. And he let go of Seraph's neck. "Alright."
Seraph floated back down to his feet. [He survived. I believe him too. It was worth it to fight the tiger. If that doesn't work, I'll have to tell him the boss's name is the Necromancer.
In the novel and anime, those who control bones are often nicknamed Necromancers.]
"Then let's get to the point. That place is right by the house of the family that rules this village.
We'll go to that place."
Li Wen glared at him with an angry expression. "What family?"
"The Persus family? You want me to take your troops and attack the Persus family?"
Seraph nodded. "Yes, that person I saw was the daughter of the Persus family, Peka Persus. That girl was the cause."
"Do you think you can do that?"
"Of course you can. Can you control the walking bones on the ground?"
"You can. Why can't you?"
"I don't have the ability to control them.
I have the ability to conceal my identity and infiltrate.
I'm good at that. That's why that person sent me here. To steal that thing.
Li Wen looked at Seraph. He looked like a child, his appearance weak.
"Okay, I'll clear the way. Attacking the Persus Clan won't be easy.
And the Persus Clan is close to the Lanna Sect. I'll clear the way for you."
"That'll be very helpful. Should we go then?"
Li Wen turned to look at the direction of the white bones, lined up in great numbers.
"Okay."
Li Wen gouged out his right eye. Peel it!
The right eye was pulled out of Li Wen's head.
It was a red orb, which he held out to Seraph. "Take it."
Seraph looked at the red orb, the size of a human eye, being held out to him.
Seraph looked at the red orb. [Um... What's this thing for? Never mind. Just think of it as a great item.]
"Thank you very much. I wish you success, Boss."
"Boss will definitely succeed in that matter."
Seraph took the orb and took a few steps before turning to look at Li Wen. "Then I'll be going."
Li Wen stood there, not replying.
Seraph walked in the same direction, to get out of the terrifying place. [I won't follow. Never mind. It's good to be away. As for the red orb, what's the point?]
Seraph walked for a long time until he reached the door to the basement.
Seraph climbed up the stairs. There was no sound from outside.
Seraph climbed the stairs easily and without hurry.
Seraph climbed up to the door to the basement. The door had broken away.
But there was no sound of the bone bird.
Seraph felt relieved as he emerged from the basement. The room was pitch black.
Seraph surveyed the surroundings. The bone-bird demon was nowhere to be seen, and outside the tower, there was no sound of the tower collapsing.
Seraph walked toward the door that had been opened by the destruction.
There was only silence, the sound of the wind blowing in.
Seraph walked out of the tower, amidst the white skeletons and human corpses. Seraph stalked away, unconcerned.
Seraph walked unhurriedly, the explosions from the battle still lingering.
[Later, he went to the Persus family, even though he didn't want to go with them. At least, he took this opportunity to run into the Lanna sect for refuge.
That guy showed he didn't think he could fight the Lanna sect.
That place was the safest place.]
Seraph headed towards the Persus family. Many human corpses lay dead.
In one place, the Persus family's horse coffin.
The horse, Torem, stood in the middle of the grass, his eyes still bright red. Like a red diamond
Around it, numerous skeletons were killed.
Wounds swirled all over the horse, from the battle with the skeletons.
A special rope kept the horse trapped in this grassy field.
It couldn't go anywhere. The other horses were killed, but the horse survived thanks to its own fighting skills.
Many bones were dying.
A blue rope held the horse's nose, tying it up. It couldn't break free.
If the horse ran away, its nose would be severed.
The black horse stood amidst the white skeleton corpses.
And white bones surrounded the horse.
The horse stood, its remaining strength high, its head held high, proud of itself.
The herd of bones rushed towards the horse. Boom!
The horse charged, destroying the skeletons. Boom!
