The world tomb
Chapter 488: The world tomb
Su Xue Er and her monster disappeared from the night sky, leaving this place that caused her so much grief.
The Huang family mansion.
Originally lively and full of life, it was now completely silent.
This was a privately- owned forest situated by the capital, Huang family’s estate.
But the entire estate was now covered in sever corpse parts, fresh flowing blood and piles of bones.
A breeze of wind came by, bringing the thick stench of blood far away.
Out of nowhere, a foreign voice sounded.
『 The fragrance of fresh blood, it seems we’re here… 』
『 The human realm 』
Following the voice, a part of the estate’s soil began to loosen.
A grey-ish humanoid creature crawled out from below.
It was humanoid, but completely unlike a human.
Because its skin was completely ashen, its limbs were as thin as sticks with razor sharp claws.
Occasionally, its eyes and mouth would let out a brief flame.
Wraith realm, Dead Eater.
The wraith reached out with its long claws to pick up a human head on the ground.
It stared at the head.
Unfortunately, there were no souls in there.
This type of wraith was unable to consume anything without a soul.
The Dead Eater observed the entire hall.
Full of corpses.
Without a single soul.
In other words, these corpses are nothing but decoration, nice to look at but can’t be eaten.
Thinking that, the Dead Eater was a bit angry.
It threw the head down and looked around the hall again more carefully.
"Hm?"
The flames in its eyes rose a bit higher.
It noticed two bloody tracks.
The Dead Eater began to move along the bloody track.
Its movement was nimble and quick, passing through the entire hall in seconds, stopping a man and a woman on their way along the estate road.
While the man and woman were excitedly running along the road, they were stopped by this strange creature.
The woman screamed from fright.
『 Living… food… 』
Saying so, patches of flame dripped down from the Dead Eater’s mouth.
This was its spit.
"You monster!" the human man tried fluttering the black cloak he was wearing.
Unfortunately, nothing happened at all.
"That’s impossible!" the man exclaimed desperately.
The Protector of the 9 Lords was supposed to protect the owner of the Starlight cloak.
But now, the Protector didn’t appear at all.
Right.
Just now, Su Xue Er killed the other 8 Lords at once, they were all wearing their Starlight cloaks as well
Why did the Protector not appear?
Su Wan Xin’s mind quickly moved.
But the Dead Eater didn’t have that much to think about, so it leapt at the two of them.
In desperation, the man erupted with all his potential.
He grabbed the woman next to him, pushing her to the Dead Eater.
"Don’t blame me, I’m a Lord, I have to survive!" Su Wan Xin turned around and ran.
The woman screamed in despair: "Su Wan Xin! Even if I become a wraith I won’t forgive you!"
Become a wraith?
The Dead Eater remembered its mission.
It stopped its movements right away, even shutting its wide open jaws.
Mid-leapt, the Dead Eater skillfully turned its body to land in front of the woman.
It told her with much difficulty: 『 Be wraith, or food, your, choice 』
Hearing that, the desperate woman found new hope.
She understood its words.
"I’ll be a wraith, I’m willing to become a wraith!" the woman hurriedly spoke.
The Dead Eater nodded satisfyingly.
It lightly jumped and caught up with the running man.
The man was frightened and pulled out a small handgun.
Bang!
The bullet hit the Dead Eater head on, but bounced off.
The Dead Eater’s claw lightly stabbed him.
The man’s body was skewered by its claw.
"Arrggg!!!" the man screamed.
But he had no way to escape from the Dead Eater’s claw.
The Dead Eater still very cautiously waited.
Only after confirming that he posed no threat at all did the Dead Eater let down its guard.
