Mystic Maiden was shocked because favonovel.com needed three months to be able to perfect this skill. It was mainly due to favonovel.com soul being abnormally stronger than most.
‘How could favonovel.com do that?’
‘Could his soul be stronger than mine?’
Since favonovel.com was currently a green skeleton, there weren’t any muscles on favonovel.com face. Hence, no one knew what favonovel.com expressions were. In reality, the fact that favonovel.com soul was below favonovel.com own servant’s embarrassed Mystic Maiden.
“Arghhhh!”
“Boss, please boss! Stop hitting me! My bones are breaking! I’m a casualty…” Pigsy oinked in pain, unable to bear it any longer.
Alex‘s attacks were heavy, letting out a loud thud every time favonovel.com hit the bone. It was absolutely unbearable. In the end, Alex was satisfied. The frustration from being stomped on had finally faded.
Mystic Maiden asked, “You were able to connect your soul to your bones. How did you do that?”
Alex brushed it off. “Hey, is it really that hard? Isn’t this just basic instinct? It’s like… The need to drink and pee?”
Mystic Maiden was speechless.
‘I can’t even start a normal conversation with favonovel.com now. He made it sound like we‘re idiots.’
“Where’s my wife?” Alex demanded.
He didn’t see anyone else in this cave, apart from Pigsy.
Pigsy replied, “Hunting. We haven’t had a good meal in days. If this keeps up, we might starve to death.”
Alex’s mouth dropped open, staring at his empty stomach within its skeleton.
“Are you for real?”
“Just look at you, you don’t even have a stomach. How can you eat?”
Pigsy grumbled. “Don’t eat when they come back with today’s harvest then.”
Alex looked towards Mystic Maiden, hoping to get some answers.
“Being here depletes your soul power every second,” favonovel.com replied. “It’s different from the outside world. We had to use blood and flesh to feed our soul back then, but everything we do here, even just surviving, requires soul power!”
“So we need some things to replenish our soul powers. All the bone demons outside, and those spiritual herbs with mysterious energy, are the source of that.”
Alex nodded. He had used quite some soul power to beat up Pigsy too. He did, in fact, feel kind of hungry. However, it wasn’t his stomach but his soul.
Yet favonovel.com still preferred to stay optimistic. “It’s not a bad thing. It’s like a type of training for our souls; just a little weirder is all. If we manage to get out of here alive, our powers would definitely increase.”
Pigsy huffed. “How optimistic. What if we don’t have a way of escape? And even if we do, we’re just bones. People might think we’re monsters.”
‘Uhm…’
Alex rubbed his temples with his fingers as the thought hit him. He was getting a headache.
An hour or two later, Alex felt his anxiousness rising. Just then, noises came from outside of the cave. It seemed someone was here. The people turned out to be Daya, Ynes, Shirley, and Channing, the ones who had gone out to hunt.
As expected, the four of them were here too. Seeing another skeleton in the cave, the four were first shocked before realizing that it was Alex.
“Darling?!” Daya yelled.
Alex smiled and nodded. “It is me!”
She immediately rushed over to give favonovel.com a big hug. It was a rather intriguing sensation.
Since they were both skeletons, crackling sounds came from their bones colliding with each other. It didn’t feel as nice as when they were normally hugging. Instead, it felt like the time the two were synchronizing during the concert. This was because their soul power was wrapped around their bones, equivalent to their souls coming in direct contact.
“I thought I’d never see you again,” Daya cried with emotion, favonovel.com soul power wavering.
“I didn’t expect to be two years late either. It must’ve been hard on you.”
