Whoosh…
Alex quickly stepped back and stared at that eerie ball of flame.
‘This used to be Dorothy’s consciousness.’
“The flame was so aggressive and violent that even the soul of someone as powerful as the princess got burned just like that in a matter of seconds.’
‘Then, has Dorothy’s consciousness been burned as well?’
Worried, Alex stared unfazed at the flame. Then, favonovel.com found out that as soon as the princess died, the golden flame instantly extinguished. Not even a spark was left, and none remained on the ground of favonovel.com consciousness.
“What was that then?”
“How did it light up?”
Alex still felt lingering fears. When favonovel.com was facing that ball of fire, favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com would likely perish if favonovel.com were to be burned to death as well.
‘How did the fire start out of nowhere?’
‘Could it be some sort of flame of inhibition? Her final words were about the Emperor… Could favonovel.com have found out some truth at the end of favonovel.com life?’
‘Was it an attack by the Emperor of the Underworld?’
Alex could only guess, but favonovel.com had no answer to it.
The Emperor of the Underworld referred to an invincible demon that strayed from the River Styx and started his own crew, then finally was suppressed by Dairaionji Temple.
The corpse princess was dead. Other than a little spooked, Alex felt nothing else. He immediately went over to observe Dorothy’s sealed soul.
A few minutes later, favonovel.com realized that the seal wasn’t too secure. With his abilities, favonovel.com could definitely unseal it. Nonetheless, favonovel.com needed some time.
Whoosh.
Alex’s soul returned to his body.
After explaining the situation to Xerxes and Pigsy, favonovel.com returned, getting ready to unseal her.
Outside, the skies had darkened, and it was breezy. The seas were quiet.
Xerxes and Pigsy sat facing one another, in between them a huge pile of bones with gold bone patterns. These had been picked up from the battlefield before. They were the dark golden bone demons killed by Alex.
Pigsy was touched, it felt like crying. “I’ve been in the Underworld for some years and strayed everyday, but I’ve never had a full stomach.”
“And don’ t even mention these dark golden bone patterns. Even if they were red, it was never my turn to consuming them. I’d have never thought I’d have the chance to eat all I want!”
Xerxes was moved. “You’re a treasure hunting pig. How did you get so poor? That’s rare to see.”
Pigsy said, “I… I am a little unlucky.”
Xerxes gestured his hand at the bones. “You start first!”
If Pigsy were in his flesh right now, favonovel.com would’ve long been dripping in saliva. When favonovel.com heard Xerxes’ words, favonovel.com no longer held back. He grabbed the biggest bone and took a big bite.
Then, in the next second, another tragedy broke out.
“Arghhh!”
With a painful scream, Pigsy was sent flying by those dark golden bone patterns.
“What’s with this?!”
“Why can’t I swallow them?”
Xerxes’s hand went to his head. “Oh, I remember! These bone demons belonged to the princess! She had favonovel.com demons processed, so they contained a special energy of the Underworld. Generally, trialists can’t eat them, and they would be harmful to those who try.”
“Huh?” Pigsy put on a face. “Then why did we go through the hard work of collecting the demons? Isn’t it a waste?”
Xerxes said, “Well, it’ s not. There’s still some use. I can eat them.”
Pigsy was excited again. “How? Teach me!”
“I can’t. I’ve swallowed the princess’ Spiritual Corpse Core. That’s why I can eat them,” Xerxes sighed.
“F*ck this!” Pigsy threw the bones on the ground. It felt like crying, but no tears came out.
‘Damn it! I sure am one unlucky pig!’
