Sowhere 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 imdiately 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 ti.
Petran sighed he looked at Skelegon and said, "So… Can you take back to the Pharmacist Tower?"
Skelegon looked at him, his eyes filled with confusion: "You… Why do you accept your fate?"
"What do you an?" 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 sa, 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 , 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 ti 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 , I also know my own potential is great. But that doesn't an 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 sothing.
"Nothing. I just don't know why a great existence like you would choose as your companion rather than making 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 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 statent, he asked: "What do you an?"
"I can't tell you we haven't cooperated yet. I don't trust you enough to tell you mysecrets 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 ti he regenerates, he is 10% stronger than before."
"What? Are you kidding ?" Petran was startled, this information frightened him. An ability that could bring soone 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 beco 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 ntal strength will not increase."
"If Rhon continues to commit suicide or dies many tis, his mind will beco abnormal or give rise to so 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 ti Rhon dies, he will increase by 10%, specifically his physical strength will increase."
"However, the increase in physical strength also ans that his body is stronger."
Petran frowned and said, "That's a great thing, how is it a downside."
"Haizzz, think about it, every ti you kill yourself, you get stronger. However, at so point, your body will beco 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 mont, 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 beco harder it is for him to die. In order for him to die, Rhon must find extrely 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 beco a person who likes to seek death.
"That is also why he dared to buy us tiso 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 madn 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 extrely 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."
"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 ? 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 imdiately said, "Welco 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 soone 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 seed 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 rged 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 imdiately."
"Sorry, that kind of Rune cannot be taken out."
Petran: "…"
"Don't worry, if you beco stronger quickly, your lifespan will also increase more than what it will cost for the Rune to work."
"You always tell not to worry but your actions are making worry more. Please, I just want to live a normal life."
"Do not worry. The greater the capacity, the heavier the responsibility."
"AAAA!!!!"
