Chapter 608 - I dare not!
GDK 608: I dare not!
“You, you, what in the world are you?!” The man’s cold voice was trembling slightly as he looked at Han Shuo, who had abruptly turned into a longsword.
Having fought alongside the Ice Goddess on various material planes for many years, he had seen and met all kinds of characters and races. However, never before had anything he witnessed caused him as much shock as this one. The scene before him was completely beyond his understanding of the natural world. A feeling of utter absurdity rose from the bottom of his heart.
Man was not the only species that was afraid of the unknown, gods were just the same. The envoy, who had not felt any nervousness since he descended to this plane, was rather fearful watching Han Shuo transform into a longsword.
Creak… Creak… The Demonslayer Edge made a few swings and caused the solid ice around him to start cracking. The envoy grew even more terrified.
“I’m a nobody. Oh, you think you can trap me with merely this ice of yours?” Han Shuo’s avatar, in his Demonslayer Edge form, ridiculed and sneered from within the ice. Bloody red radiances repeatedly flashed from the edges of the sword before the ice that had frozen him in place shattered.
The Demonslayer Edge was forged by Han Shuo to be sharper than anything in existence. It was also extremely difficult to trap it thanks to its usual composition. As it glistened, the Demonslayer Edge shot towards Han Shuo’s main body still frozen in place. The ice that trapped Han Shuo’s main body completely shattered with a crisp. Han Shuo cracked a grin and looked the envoy up and down. He opened his palm and the Demonslayer Edge flew into his grasp. Then, he pointed at his avatar of death a distance away and smilingly said, “Look at that body. Isn’t it very strange as well?”
The man turned to look and suddenly discovered that the third Han Shuo had turned into a skeletal staff. He was yet again shocked and his heart trembled. He really had no idea what kind of a monster he was up against.
“What, what race do you belong to?” the envoy who was in a frightened state shouted as he pointed at Han Shuo.
Han Shuo could tell that the envoy was terrified after experiencing the series of surprises. The envoy, deeply affected by the fear towards the unknown, in addition to having yet to regather his divine energy for the time being, immediately had the idea of retreating.
“I’m injured. Figures sent by the Shrine of Ice are indeed hard to deal with. But luckily, he escaped,” Han Shuo forced a smile as he explained to Ayermike Cotton.
“Is it severe? Do you need to rest immediately?”
“It’s pretty severe. Damn, these age-old religions are such a chore to deal with!”
The moment Han Shuo began to divulge the severity of his injuries, light bulbs flashed in Pegasus’ and Graeae’s eyes.
Han Shuo immediately knew what was going on. He grinned at the two and stood right up. Han Shuo flashed before Pegasus with his big hand covering Pegasus’ head. He asked in an eerie tone, “What is it? Thinking about getting rid of me while I’m severely injured?”
“I wouldn’t dare! Your humble servant would never dare!” Pegasus was horrified. He immediately knelt at Han Shuo’s feet and was too scared to move a muscle.
“Even if my injuries were far harsher, killing you would still be as easy as snapping a finger. Before you even have the remotest idea of overpowering me, you’d better conceal your cleverthoughts in front of me,” Han Shuo said slowly with a mischievous grin.
“Your humble servant will never do it again!” Pegasus entreated piteously for Han Shuo’s forgiveness. When he saw the ground covered in bodies, he thought that all of them had been killed by Han Shuo and was terrified of ending up the same way.
“It appears that there is a lack of discipline amongst your kind. I believe some binding would be in order – I doubt you’ll behave yourselves otherwise,” Han Shuo revealed an evil grin. A drop of blood squirted from his index finger. He mixed some divine energy into it and sealed it within Pegasus’ brain.
“Before you gain enough strength, you better not have any thoughts of rebelling. Otherwise, with one thought of mine, your head will tear apart like a firecracker!” Han Shuo cackled, beaming ear to ear as Pegasus shivered in fear.
“Graeae, if you think that you can escape, go ahead and try,” Han Shuo removed his big hand from Pegasus’ head and shot a cold glance at the timid Graeae thinking about escaping.
“Your Lordship has misunderstood me. I would have no such thoughts,” Graeae explained with an awkward smile.
“You are a smart one and should know what you ought to do. Get over here,” Han Shuo said calmly as he smiled at Graeae.
“Yes, Master!” Graeae sighed and thought to herself, How could I be so unfortunate to run into this demon? Now I’m really done for.
Graeae obediently walked to Han Shuo with a smile forced onto her face. When she arrived, she lowered her head and said, “My Lord, please bestow me the seal.”
“Mmm, good girl,” Han Shuo said with an extremely wicked smile and repeated his actions to Graeae.
“Bryan, what about me?” Ayermike Cotton walked to Han Shuo and smilingly asked.
“What on earth are you talking about? How could I treat you so?” Han Shuo feigned anger and glared at Ayermike Cotton before saying cordially, “You are not like them. I can distinguish the sincere from the insincere ones.”
Pegasus and Graeae both wore the same sour expression on their faces. They exchanged glances and sighed inwardly. They thought, How did I get so unlucky? Now I don’t even have a chance to escape.
