Chapter 551 - Kill These Clowns for Me!
GDK 551: Kill These Clowns for Me!
Black Jade City, Thalia District.
The party came to a small and dilapidated house made of stone that contained little more than a few items of crude furniture; a table, a chair, a bed, and an iron cooking pot. On that bed of stone, a woman that had long gone without a trace of life silently lay.
Sanguis took light steps into the room and knelt before his mother’s stone bed. After a heartfelt round of prayer, Sanguis stood up emotionless, turned to Han Shuo, and said, “Master, I wish to bury my mother’s body!”
Han Shuo nodded. Without saying another word, he took out a few pieces of pitch-black ‘black stone coins’ from his space ring and placed it on the crack-lined table at the center of the room.
Whichever material plane one was on, burying the dead was not for the penniless. The Abyss realm was no exception. The reason Sanguis had left home for the streets was precisely to find the funds to properly bury his mother. But he chanced upon his ‘old friends’ and was nearly beaten to death.
Had he not met Han Shuo, this impoverished child wouldn’t have gathered enough money for a burial even when his mother’s body had rotten. Towards this newly known master of his, Sanguis did not behave overly humble. After he saw the enormous sum of black stone coins Han Shuo placed on the stone table, Sanguis only said in a dull voice, “Thank you master.”
In the Abyss realm, black stone coins were of the greatest denomination in circulation. One coin could be exchanged for ten blue stone coins, or for a hundred pieces of yellow stone coin. In normal circumstances, just a few blue stone coins were enough for a basic ceremony. Those pieces of black stone coin Han Shuo put down were definitely more than enough for Sanguis to squander.
“Alright, you go take care of your matters.” Han Shuo nodded, looked at his three ladies standing outside the door, and apathetically exited.
“With black stone coins, it wouldn’t take long to complete,” Sanguis replied. After he followed Han Shuo out of the room and said, “Master, masters, please wait here for a while. I need to leave for a moment and will be back very soon,”
With the help of Han Shuo, a godly existence, both Hemanna and Sylph had started to meditate using the same method that Jasper had used to gain mental strength, attempting to sense the presence of this mysterious energy within the brain. Of the two, Sylph had even managed to sense the presence of mental strength ahead of Hemanna, but Hemanna wasn’t far behind and was on the verge of a breakthrough.
“My Lord, that enemy spy is in there. I’m certain,” a familiar voice suddenly entered Han Shuo’s ears. After a short while, those few youngsters that were previously drenched with cold sweat after receiving a great shock from Han Shuo now carried a heavy air of arrogance as well as an expert of level-one Demon strength to Han Shuo.
Before this Demon, the few teenagers were full of respect and reverence. They obviously intended on using this Demon to take care of Han Shuo. Sanguis, who had entered a meditative state not long ago, walked out from his house after hearing the voice.
The youngster turned somewhat cowardly when he saw Han Shuo. But when he recalled the origins of the person standing beside him, he suddenly regained his confidence, and daringly pointed at Han Shuo as he shouted, “My Lord, there they are!”
The other few kids that came with him all had their heads high and chests out. As they thought they had found someone they could rely on, all of them started to berate Han Shuo at the top of their tiny voices, as though they had forgotten their humiliating looks not long before.
“My apprentice, use that energy you just comprehended to kill these clowns for me!” Han Shuo unenthusiastically instructed after giving them a disdainful cold smile.
“Yes, master!” Sanguis replied naturally. At the next moment, his lips curved to reveal a ruthless and evil grin, while his eyes began to redden crimson. He marched step by step towards those arch enemies of his as they continued to mock him.
