"You have a demon for a butler?" Amaryll was stunned.
Michael looked at Knight curiously, thinking whether they have demons or not in their world.
"I don't think we have demons in this world. At Least we haven't co across one yet," Knight chuckled.
"I have one, but he's in an ethereal form,"
"Just like huh?" Catalie asked Michael.
"Hmm,"
"Catalie, bring the body here. We have no need for it anyway," Knight imdiately ordered Catalie. Although Catalie could inhabit the body to take physical form, they preferred to get her a physical body suitable for her gender and age.
"Okie Dokie," Catalie disappeared from their sight as Amaryll raised another question.
"Do you miss your family, Ghost?"
"I would have if I had one,"
Michael's calm words shocked Amaryll. Everyone turned their gazes at Michael.
"I am so sorry. You poor thing,"
"Can I ask what happened to them?"
"Amaryll," Knight growled, but Michael waved hi shand, wordlessly telling Knight that he didn't mind.
"Only thing I know about them is they throw away willingly,"
Don, who was looking at the horizon, turned his gaze towards Michael. He could see the sadness and pain within Ghost's eyes. Even though Ghost tried to hide it, Don could see it.
It felt to Don like he was looking at himself in the mirror.
Michael, on the other hand, noticed the sadness erging in Amaryll's eyes,
"But I have people who care about more than my family ever did," Michael emphasized the word 'family'
"I am glad to hear that. Do that people include a young girl or girls?"
"Again, I am sorry you have to sit here and take her way into soone's personal life questions,"
"Do you mind Ghost?" Amaryll stuck her tongue out at Knight and asked Ghost. The latter just shook his head and didn't get annoyed by Amaryll because Ghost liked Amaryll. Unlike the elves Michael t in his world, she seed to be a quirky, funny, caring elf.
"See Knight, he doesn't mind," Amaryll threw an apple aiming at Knight's head, and continued questioning Ghost.
"Yeah. I have one. And in fact," Michael raised his finger, showing the engagent ring on his finger.
"You're married? Wait no, engaged?"
Michael nodded.
"Wonderful. I wish I had t her," suddenly Amaryll burst into a chuckle,
"Sothing funny?" Arrora asked.
"I just thought about what she would be called after marrying him. Lady Ghost, hehehe. What's up with that na anyway?" asked Amaryll laughing.
"I don't exist, yet I exist. You won't know until you et , and you won't live to tell the tale. Hence Ghost,"
"You are an assassin, aren't you?"
As soon as Michael uttered these words, Knight asked.
"Why?"
"The way you fought and moved. You mixed warrior style into your combat, but the way of the assassins is still there. That's your base. I saw that,"
Knight's words showed Michael the experience Knight had in battle. Just by looking at how he fought, Knight guessed Michael's origin as the assassin,"
"I am back," as they were talking, Catalie appeared again. Beside her, there was a glass casket with a body inside. Except for the lower body parts, which were covered by a white cloth, the rest was naked.
The body belonged to a half-elf in his late teens, maybe twenty-nine or twenty-eight. His dark brown hair reached his shoulder. The body was tall and extrely muscular, but not like a bodybuilder. The body was several inches taller than Michael himself.
"System, can I give this body to Azazel?"
[Yes. But this body does not belong to the host's world. So the system would require 50,000 badass points to adjust the body to fit Azazel's soul]
"What about transportation? How do I bring the body from Don's universe to mine?"
The badass points weren't Michael's concern. Rather, he worried about how to take the body with him. Usually, anything that weighed more than 30kg and cannot be lifted by a normal human being couldn't be put into the system storage or any space rings.
[Since the body does not have a soul. It's basically just a shell. The host can cut them into pieces and store them in the system storage. After reaching your universe, you can rge the parts together. Of course, the system would require 20,000 badass points to do so]
"No shit," Michael chuckled inside. He expected it because the system would do basically nothing without badass points.
Finally, Michael heaved a sigh of relief and crossed one task off his to-do list. Recently, he felt like he had so many things to do.
The latest_epi_sodes are on_the NOVELNB website.
He had to help Gaya take over her kingdom and take revenge on her family, find Gaya's mother, assassinate Tanulia, get rid of guardians and vampires, fight the eight great clans, save sect leader Claire's mother, and reduce Thusia kingdom to ashes. These were just a few things on his list.
At least with the body, he had one less thing to do.
Michael stood up from the grassy ground and walked towards the glass casket.
"We brought it from an ancient ruin. It's really amazing how the body remained in this condition for thousands of years,"
"He didn't seem like he died of old age. Neither there any cuts nor wounds in his body,"
After hearing Knight, Michael guessed it was either soone had created the body or sucked the soul out of it. Just like Michael did to Wilkas.
"It's only collecting dust in our storage. If you have a way to take it with you, feel free," Knight said.
"How is he going to do that? It's not a shield to put it inside a space ring," Amaryll questioned Knight,
"Unless his space ring works differently from ours," Arrora comnted.
Under their curious gazes, Michael placed his hand on the glass.
"Can you open it?"
Catalie nodded, waving her hand as the glass between them slowly vanished.
"What are you planning?" Amaryll asked but quickly closed her mouth when she saw Ghost unsheathing his swords.
"When you have a big problem, cut it into smaller pieces,"
Michael calmly said before slashing the body with his two swords. He moved so quickly that Amaryll could only see a blur.
When he stopped cutting, the body remained intact. At atleast for a few monts. Then, the body crumbled onto the ground, quickly disappearing from the ground.
"Problem solved,"
For a few monts, everyone was stunned. They couldn't help wondering how Ghost planned to piece together the body.
"Thank you for the body," Michael smiled, breaking the silence.
"Well now I don't have to listen to the dwarves saying I should take the body," Catalie was pleased to see the body disappearing from the casket. Hence, she laughed happily.
With a flick of his wrist, Michael took out a parchnt from his space ring.
"Before I forget, take this," Michael gave the parchnt to Knight.
"This contains the procedure, ingredients, and the formula to create an antiserum for corroded blade and potion to wake anyone from their coma state/ this is the least I can do for what you've done to ,"
Michael felt truly grateful towards them. They did not only give him a Legendary Shield, but they also gave a body to Azazel. Although it seed like a normal body, Michael felt imnse power from the body. If his gut feeling was right, the body would be worth millions.
Moreover, the way they treated Michael earned them his respect and love. They treated him like one of their own and cald his mind and soul, which helped Michael more than anyone would expect.
At that ti, Michael just wished he could travel to other universes more often, especially to Everlight.
Unfortunately, he began to feel the sucking force. Don surprised Michael by looking at the sky,
"It seems like your ti in this world is up,"
"It's been so years since I felt this force," A gentle smile indicated sorrow and gloom on Knight's face.
"Don, can't you stop it?" Amaryll grabbed Michael's hands tightly.
"Even if I can, I won't, Amaryll. He has to return to his own world," said Don as the others took a deep breath and prepared to send off Michael.
"If fate permits, we will et again Amaryll," Michael squeezed Amaryll's shoulder with a smile.
"Take this," Don took out a black card just like the one Hunter gave Michael from his space ring.
"I think you already know how this works," Knight said as Michael nodded. These two obviously had more secrets than they let him know. But, of course, Michael did not bla them as he had his own secrets too.
As seconds passed, Michael felt the sucking force getting stronger and stronger. Finally, his feet almost started to rise from the ground.
"Rember Ghost. Do not judge anyone before knowing the full story,"
Michael did not understand the reason behind Don's words. It was sudden and unexpected. But Michael had no ti to ask Don regarding his words as he was pulled upwards by the suction force.
"I hope we et again Ghost," Knight waved with a smile, and so did Arrora and Amaryll. To Michael's surprise, Amaryll even shed so tears for him.
"Man, I wish I could stay for a couple of days here," while floating in the sky, Michael looked at the beauty of Everlight and sighed.
[Then the host should earn more badass points]
The system almost sounded like it was yelling at Michael.
"Unfortunately, this is not the ti for a vacation system. I still have so much to do," Michael sighed inside and waved back at them.
The very next mont, the suction force pulled back Michael from Everlight. A split second before Everlight disappeared from his sight, Michael saw a ghostly figure of a dark figure with thousands of arms hovering over Everlight.
"The queen," Michael mumbled as everything around him turned pitch black. Finally, his tour to other universes ca to an end.
Only one thing remained in the Shadow realm: the key. That was Michael's last destination before returning to the Southern continent. However, he had no idea of the surprise waiting for him at the end of his journey in Shadow Realm.
