Chapter 1416: Interrogation

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Yun was not in a hurry to talk to the fat kid. He observed the bloody scythe of death for a long time. He was pretty sure that it shouldn’t have been capable of knocking the soul out of the body.

A creature’s soul was complete. Human beings’ souls were in their heads. The undead creatures’ souls were their soul fires. They were not shadows that overlapped with bodies.

Even the slightest injury of the soul would be very serious. If some of it was cut off, it would surely mean death, except for the strongest creatures.

Although the Leopard Tail Worm was special, it was certainly not special in that aspect. Lin Yun detected vividly that the scythe of death didn’t cause much injury to its soul when it cut off part thereof. It seemed that the scythe only disabled that part of the soul.

When the fat kid’s tail was cut off, it became a burden. The tail became as good as nothing. However, the kid’s soul was not badly damaged. It only hurt for a moment.

The whole thing was quite complicated. Lin Yun wasn’t sure what happened, but surely the scythe of death shouldn’t have that ability.

The illusion that appeared just now left Lin Yun with the impression that he was the very first skeleton king in legends. He was not the respected skeleton king in the Plane of the Undead, but a god.

The Lord of Death looked just like that, with a ragged cloak, a hood, and vortexes of death that could swallow death in his eyes. His feet were much bigger than those of normal skeletons, and he looked like a Bigfoot skeleton.

But the Lord of Death was already as dead as could be. His weapon had been shattered and scattered across the Plane of the Undead. The broken pieces of the weapon, combined with the laws of the Plane of the Undead, turned into other scythes of death. The first skeleton to pick up one of them and win its approval became the first skeleton king.

Nevertheless, the newer skeleton kings and scythes of death didn’t have much to do with the Lord of Death anymore. They were created by the laws of the Plane of the Undead.

Lin Yun looked at the scythe of death in his hand with confusion. Was it possible at all that this scythe of death was transformed from a piece of the Lord of Death’s weapon?

Also, a soulless vampire ancestor had been sacrificed to the scythe of death, turning it red. Lin Yun somehow found the scythe’s ability unclear.

Nothing related to gods was ever good. Besides, this was about the weird Lord of Death. Lin Yun was quite worried that his illusion just showed up.

Gods’ methods were utterly unpredictable. They might not be omnipotent, but it was true that they could never be killed completely.

Take the 73rd God for example. A catastrophe happened even before she was born, but she didn’t die. Her soul split up again and again. Even though her plan of resurrection was disrupted, she was only reborn as Marianna, and didn’t completely die.

It was possible that the remaining soul or body pieces of other gods would try to find an opportunity to turn into something else, or just revive. They could live on even without the power from the past.

He might have accidentally gotten something important, and summoned the illusion of the Lord of Death, which could be troublesome…

Lin Yun shook his head, and looked at the skull on the scythe of death, feeling that it was developing consciousness. He thought it was a good thing in the past, but it might not be so.

Putting away the scythe of death, Lin Yun covered himself in gray mist, and instantly transformed into a human being. The fat kid was quite stunned to see that. Even though it had been staying in the Kingdom of Nightmares, it knew how unbelievable it was for an undead creature to transform into a living human being.

It might have had other plans, but it gave up all of them, and lay on the ground obediently, waiting for Lin Yun’s instruction.

“Tell me about it. What happened here?”

After Lin Yun asked the question, the fat kid divulged what he knew truthfully.

“This is the periphery of the Kingdom of Nightmares. Since the King of Nightmares perished, the periphery has been fixated as the world he knew. My tribe has been living here.

“Earlier, a few experts and annoying vampires came in. Many adults in my tribe were killed. They’re waiting for resurrection. Then, their battles brought terrible influences.
