Somewhere on Misty World.
Amidst the dense fog, a magic circle suddenly appeared, emitting a blinding aura.
Then, two people and one fish appeared from the magic circle it was Petran, Sherwin and Skelegon.
Skelegon flew above their heads, opened his mouth, and spit out 5 Misty Lamps. The Misty Lamps immediately shone, and their lights dispelled the surrounding fog.
Sherwin lay on the ground, his eyes were closed, and it was unknown if he was alive or dead.
However, Petran was certain Sherwin was alive.
Why?
He didn't know either, maybe this was his intuition. Although Sherwin was like a fool who does dangerous things, he miraculously survives every time.
Petran sighed he looked at Skelegon and said, "So… Can you take me back to the Pharmacist Tower?"
Skelegon looked at him, his eyes filled with confusion: "You… Why do you accept your fate?"
"What do you mean?" Petran frowned.
"My words are very clear. You accept being Hikaru's slave, even though he does not care about you and you still try to develop yourself to serve him."
"Even when you had the chance to break free from the slave contract, you still refused it."
"Petran, what are you thinking? What do you want?"
Petran heard that sighed, he shook his head and said: "You don't understand what I'm doing. Skelegon, we are not the same, we cannot understand each other because our destinies are different."
"That's why, no matter what I say or explain, you won't believe it or you'll think I'm lying."
"Alright. I don't need you to understand me, I just need to know that I'm on the right path, that's enough."
"The right path?" Skelegon suddenly flew in front of Petran.
Skelegon's bloodshot eyes were like two blood moons as he stared at Petran, making him feel a little scared and worried.
"You… what are you going to do?"
Skelegon didn't answer, but after a while he sighed and said, "Petran, Sherwin chose you to be his companion."
"He chose you because your potential is great. Although the time it took for you to grow is quite long, however, I…"
"Enough!" Petran shook his head and said: "I don't need you to praise me, I also know my own potential is great. But that doesn't mean that I have to accompany you."
Skelegon frowned, he was finding it difficult to convince Petran. However, Skelegon didn't give up, he asked: "Petran, so... may I know what your purpose is in serving Hikaru?"
"Do you really want to know?"
"Of course. I, Skelegon, who have seen countless empires, countless existences standing at the top of this world die, feel that you are a worthy person to be my companion."
Pertran: "…"
Petran suddenly realized that Skelegon was not as normal as he thought.
"What's with that look?" Skelegon felt as if Petran was misunderstanding something.
"Nothing. I just don't know why a great existence like you would choose me as your companion rather than making me a slave."
Hearing Petran's words, Skelegon replied with a sigh, "Of all the dynasties I have seen, the ones that fall the fastest have been ruled by the violence of the King and the fear of the people."
"That's why I don't want to use violence to make you my puppet."
"Hm… so… what do you intend to cooperate with me for? After all, my ability is not suitable for combat." Petran shrugged.
"Hahaha…" Skelegon laughed: "Yes, your ability is not suitable for fighting but it is suitable for building a world."
"Building a world?" Petran was a little surprised by Skelegon's statement, he asked: "What do you mean?"
"I can't tell you we haven't cooperated yet. I don't trust you enough to tell you my secrets either."
"Ah! So you cooperated with Rhon also because his potential is great, right?"
"Yes, he has the ability to regenerate even if he is burned to ashes. As long as his territory survives, he will continue to be reborn." Skelegon explains: "Every time he regenerates, he is 10% stronger than before."
"What? Are you kidding me?" Petran was startled, this information frightened him. An ability that could bring someone back to life even if the person was burned to ashes was terrible, but it also made Rhon stronger after each death.
"So…" Petran said fearfully, "If he dies repeatedly, he will become an invincible existence, right?"
Skelegon shook his head: "In theory, it's as you say, but it won't be so easy."
"Actually, after dying, Rhon's physical strength will be increased by 10%. However, his mental strength will not increase."
"If Rhon continues to commit suicide or dies many times, his mind will become abnormal or give rise to some strange thoughts."
When Petran heard that, he felt a little worried. If he were to accompany Skelegon, then Rhon would also be a great danger.
"Besides…" Skelegon continued: "Although Rhon's skill sounds powerful, it also has a fatal flaw."
"Critical weakness?" Petran finds it difficult to understand. What are the downsides of such a powerful skill?
"Like I said, each time Rhon dies, he will increase by 10%, specifically his physical strength will increase."
"However, the increase in physical strength also means that his body is stronger."
Petran frowned and said, "That's a great thing, how is it a downside."
"Haizzz, think about it, every time you kill yourself, you get stronger. However, at some point, your body will become as hard as steel, so even if you stab your eyes with a knife, how will you kill yourself?"
Petran: "…"
Petran heard this and fell silent.
He thought for a long moment, then said, "What if… he commits suicide by drowning himself or burying himself in the ground?"
"Haizzz, I told you that his physical strength has increased to a terrifying level. He can live without breathing for up to 10 days."
"Imagine what would happen if he stayed under water or under for 10 days?"
Petran: "…"
Skelegon continued: "Because of the rate his strength is increasing, it will become harder it is for him to die. In order for him to die, Rhon must find extremely strong people that will be strong enough to destroy his body with ease."
After listening to this, Petran felt that Rhon was the craziest person here. If he continued like this, Rhon would become a person who likes to seek death.
"That is also why he dared to buy us time so that we could escape. He's not as brave as you think, he's just looking for a way to die."
When Petran heard this, he felt that it was foolish of him to advise Rhon to escape with them.
'Is this group normal?'
"Alright! Back to the main topic. Our party will not only consist of you, Rhon and Sherwin, many more people will join in the future."
Petran: "…"
'Is there anyone who wants to join this weird group? Ah! No, there will probably be more madmen like Rhon and Sherwin.'
Petran frowned and asked: "So… what is the purpose of forming this group?"
Skelegon heard Petran's question and proudly said, "The world is in danger. The world's will is trying to protect itself. Every living being is…"
"Enough!" Petran rubbed his forehead, he felt extremely sick as he listened to skelegon talk about bullshit: "Get to the main point."
"We will protect this world."
When Petran heard this, he looked at Skelegon with suspicion and contempt.
"OY! What's with that look?"
"Can't you see that I'm doubting if you're normal."
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm "Huh! You can't see the suffering the inhabitants of this world are going through that's why you can be so indifferent."
"What does their suffering have to do with me? Does it affect my sleep?"
"Actually… it doesn't matter to you at all."
"Ah! So… what reason do I have to join you."
Skelegon: "…"
Petran: "…"
Skelegon immediately said, "Welcome to the team that will save the world."
"Do you understand what the hell I'm saying?!" Petran shouted, "I don't want to join you, I just want a normal life, okay?"
"If you want to create a team that will save the world, look for superhero, avenger, DC or whatever, find someone else, I don't want to join you."
"Don't worry." Skelegon said comfortingly, "I know you're afraid of Hikaru's slave contract, but I have a way to temporarily nullify it. When you are strong enough, you can cancel that slave contract easily."
"Damn it! I'm leaving, I don't want to be near you any longer."
As soon as Petran said that, he turned his head away. However, he suddenly couldn't move, as his whole body seemed to be frozen.
"Like I said, Petran, you don't have to worry about the slave contract issue." Skelegon said that and spat out a drop of blood.
That drop of blood turned into a strange character, then merged into Petran's body.
"Stop! What the hell are you doing?"
Skelegon laughed and said, "Don't worry. I have added a Rune to your body, which will prevent Hikaru from killing you or commanding you through the slave contract."
"To be more precise, you are temporarily free."
"Wait! So am I free from the contract?"
"No, this Rune is just absorbing your life span to function, when your lifespan runs out, this rune will also stop working."
Petran: "…"
When Petran heard this, he wanted to cry loudly: "What the hell are you doing? Using a person's lifespan to make magic work is the craziest thing I've ever heard. Take it out of my body immediately."
"Sorry, that kind of Rune cannot be taken out."
Petran: "…"
"Don't worry, if you become stronger quickly, your lifespan will also increase more than what it will cost for the Rune to work."
"You always tell me not to worry but your actions are making me worry more. Please, I just want to live a normal life."
"Do not worry. The greater the capacity, the heavier the responsibility."
"AAAA!!!!"
