Chapter 523: Soul Hung in the Toilet
Duroken rolled his eyes at it and said irritably, "You know you have a twisted sense of humor, so why don't you change it? Now you even dare to joke at our expense."
When Duroken had just been resurrected, he still kept up a polite front with it, constantly addressing it with honorifics like "my lord" this and "my lord" that.
But as Nai Ge Li Si's pranks grew more and more numerous, Duroken found it hard to stay polite with it. Now he would snap at it, argue with it, roll his eyes at it on the slightest provocation—all because it had driven him to it.
Anthony was the same.
Nai Ge Li Si refused without even thinking: "No way, this is my only pleasure, I can't change it. If you won't let me tease you guys, what's the point of anything?"
Damn it, now he can't beat people in a fight, can't out-argue them either, every one of them has learned to be as venomous as a lightning mouth. The only pleasure left is this twisted humor of teasing people—die before I change.
Duroken irritably rolled his eyes at it. If you've got the guts, move your main body away, get far from Seeing Ange before you tease people, and see if everyone won't tie you up and stuff you under a box.
Without a doubt, Seeing Ange was teasing him—or rather, probing him. This was the first time he had encountered an opponent whose casting speed could barely keep up with his, and he wanted to test the other's limits. But he hadn't expected the other to bring out a prop so quickly.
Twenty-four Shadow Arrows did exceed Seeing Ange's limit. His current casting frequency was about twenty per second, yet the incoming Shadow Arrows were still picked off one by one, because he still had four psychic tendrils.
Watching the twenty-four Shadow Arrows being detonated one by one by Seeing Ange, Hayden was completely dumbfounded on the spot, muttering, "How is that possible? How is that possible? How can you be faster than me? How is that possible?"
Not counting the four psychic tendrils, he had also seen Seeing Ange cast twenty Holy Light Missiles. That already crushed him. Under normal circumstances, his highest casting frequency was only twelve. That wave just now had been his potential activated—who exactly is the turret here?
Hayden had once vaguely felt a secret pride in that nickname, but now it sounded rather grating.
Both hands shot out, and another row of Shadow Arrows was wiped out by him: "You're so fast, I don't believe you can keep it up. How long can you maintain this! How long!"
An endless stream of Shadow Arrows bombarded over. One minute later, Hayden's strength gave out, he stopped abruptly, and crashed to the ground.
Seeing Ange couldn't pull back in time—two Holy Light Missiles shot out, and finding no target, he hurriedly reached out to probe the air, pinching the fired Holy Light Missiles to detonate them mid-flight.
And around him at this moment, there were still over twenty Holy Light Missiles orbiting. This was already him holding back his speed, but he still inevitably had a few extra.
The fallen Hayden's form dispersed, leaving only a Soul Heart that slammed onto the ground, feebly radiating the aura of death.
Seeing Ange walked over and poked it, then somewhat blankly looked toward Nai Ge Li Si and the others.
The Guardian Bulwark was dismissed, and everyone crowded around.
Nai Ge Li Si said with some disbelief, "He this is… fainted? What kind of joke is this, he's an undead."
Duroken, Anthony, and Feti who had just returned were also exchanging bewildered glances: "An undead… can faint?"
Everyone found it somewhat inconceivable, even absurd. Undead don't have that kind of self-protection mechanism humans have, so how could they faint? And this one is an undead, not even having a body—could he be faking it?
Anthony said, "I don't think it looks like he's faking. It feels more like he was so angry—so angry to the extreme but refused to accept this reality—that he simply exhausted all his spiritual power and passed out?"
"This…" Everyone exchanged glances. It was practically performing surgery on an eye-beast—truly an eye-opener. So undead can faint too.
Everyone watched the novelty for a while, then Seeing Ange took out a dozen or so soul crystals and stuffed them onto the Soul Heart.
The Soul Heart instinctively began breaking down the soul crystals, sweeping the soul energy inside clean. After absorbing a dozen or so, the Soul Heart showed no change at all.
Anthony and Nai Ge Li Si exchanged a glance, then suddenly said, "Oh dear, looks like he's really dead. Only a Soul Heart left. What are we going to do?"
Nai Ge Li Si said, "Give it to me, give it to me. I'll hang it in my dedicated toilet. When I poop here, the air doesn't circulate, it's too smelly. Soul Hearts have a disinfecting effect, hanging it in the toilet is most appropriate."
Before he finished speaking, they saw the Soul Heart rapidly melt into a cloud of smoke, barely condensing into Hayden's form.
Nai Ge Li Si immediately sighed in disappointment, "Oh, so he's not dead after all. What a pity." So angry that Hayden glared fiercely at it.
Anthony summoned Holy Light and grabbed the smoke with one hand.
Having consumed a massive amount of soul energy, Hayden was dragged aside without any ability to resist. After a round of severe interrogation, Hayden answered all of Anthony's questions.
After getting answers to all the questions he was interested in, Anthony gave Hayden two choices: "Either dedicate your soul, or perish." After a glance at Nai Ge Li Si, he added, "Hang the remnant soul in the toilet."
Hayden was nearly driven to tears of rage by these twisted-humor fellows. He said furiously, "I am a subject of the Lord of Extinction. I have no soul to dedicate. If you want to kill me, then kill me."
"You are a subject of the Lord of Extinction?" This result immediately piqued Anthony's interest: "What is the Lord of Extinction's name?"
Ever since learning that the Extinction Barrier had trapped the Undead Sovereign, Anthony and Silver Coin had used every possible means to gather all intelligence on the Extinction Mage, but all the information was very scarce, some couldn't even be verified, and they didn't know whether it was real or made up by someone's imagination.
In any case, this Extinction Mage was extremely mysterious. They only knew there was such a person, and that his strength was extremely formidable, his status even above the Twelve Council Mages, yet no one even knew what his name was.
In the past, many people hadn't even taken this nameless Extinction Mage seriously, until he trapped the Undead Sovereign. Only then did everyone suddenly realize—so he was actually an existence whose strength rivaled the Undead Sovereign's.
But knowing that was meaningless too. The two sides were one in the heavens and one underground, their life forms entirely different, making it difficult even to plant moles and spies.
The moles that had been painstakingly planted also couldn't access very classified information, so that now, not only Anthony and Silver Coin, but even Gust of the Undead Parliament didn't know the Extinction Mage's background.
Anthony had once probed the Eye of Truth and the God-Crafting Mage, but couldn't get anything out of them. Who would have thought he'd actually captured a subject of the Extinction Mage now? Excellent—a subject surely couldn't not know his own "king's" name, right?
156n.
Hayden made up his mind not to speak again.
"If you won't talk, we'll really hang you in the toilet—huh?!" Before Anthony finished speaking, he sensed something was wrong. An overwhelmingly powerful consciousness projected itself onto Hayden.
Anthony only felt a great force surging from behind. Seeing Ange shoved him aside with one hand, stepped forward, and scales surged all over his body—Dragon God Transformation.
At the same time, everyone felt the time around them slow down. Everything became slow motion, so slow it seemed to be freezing, except for Seeing Ange's fist, which moved at a speed just a fraction faster than the slow motion, and slammed toward Hayden.
