Celestial Bloodline-Chapter 368 Enthrall

The man waited for Alec's answer, but after a few seconds, his patience ran low. Alec gasped when a sharp pain traveled throughout his body.

Despite that, he shook his head and kept his mouth shut, not daring to reply. But then, his eyes widened when the man attacked Lara. novelbuddy(.)com

"Wait!"

The man stopped with an 'Oh' and gestured for him to spill everything. Otherwise, he would kill them both and dig into their skulls to search for the location of the person's dead body.

However, he didn't want to dirty his clothes. Plus, the chances of finding something useful after digging out their skulls were only five percent. He wasn't willing to take that risk when he was here to find something ethereal.

'How can someone have such a powerful soul... with energy strong enough to equal at least ten divine beings?'

'I am sure that person had something special in their body!'

Maybe he was mistaken, but even if there was a small chance that his prediction was right, there was no way he would let the opportunity pass by.

Alec gazed at Lara and asked the man to save her first, then he would tell.

The man raised his brow and, just with a flick of his finger, the dark lines on Lara's body disappeared and her complexion returned to normal. He stared at Alec, impatiently waiting for an answer. Alec gazed back and closed his eyes for a second. fr eeweb novel

"His body is buried among the countless dead bodies of people who lost their lives under your army. Just head north, and you will see a big graveyard."

The man narrowed his eyes. After a few seconds, he let out a chuckle and a glowing paper with a pen appeared in front of him.

"Not my army, it belongs to the third general, who happens to be the laziest among us all. If I were the one who attacked this planet, it wouldn't still be standing. It would have already crumbled into countless pieces."

The man blinked and Alec's hand went against his command. It started moving and grabbed the floating pen with faint symbols. Alec tried to pull his hand back, but the man in front of him clicked his tongue.

"Now, now, no need to struggle. It's just a precaution. I don't like going back on my word, so I won't kill you now. Just sign the paper, that way if I ever want a loyal follower with a pure soul, I'll be able to call you."

He smirked when Alec's expression crumbled, and his hand holding the pen started trembling. The system's voice kept ringing inside Alec's head, telling him not to sign the paper, but he could do nothing but watch as his hand moved on its own.

After the paper was signed, it vanished into thin air with a faint glow. The man started floating and gazed at Alec from mid-air.

"Congratulations, you just sold yourself to the devil. Don't worry though, you will gain strength in return. Strength that can help you protect your people. Well, at least until I'm occupied."

He let out a chuckle and vanished, heading in the opposite direction to search for the body he had come for.

Alec gazed at the back of his hand, where a faint black petal appeared. A tear trickled down his cheek, landing softly on Lara's face.

Diora, who had been watching from the sidelines, let out a frustrated groan. She knew she couldn't kill Alec anymore, since he had become the possession of the fourth shadow general.

.....

Enthrall, the fourth shadow general, arrived above the graveyard. His gaze scanned the area, and after a long minute, a frown formed on his face. The piece of paper that Alec had signed had long been rolled up and thrown into a large chamber filled with similar papers.

He closed his eyes, and a dark aura spread from his body, enveloping everything around him, but he found nothing.

"Don't tell me that bastard lied...? It can't be. I would've sensed it if he did."

However, even after a few minutes, he still didn't find anything. An angry vein bulged on his forehead.

"Seems like my prediction was wrong, and the body I'm searching for belongs to an ordinary individual who just happens to have a strong soul."

His eyes grew emotionless as he stared at the pulsating crystal in his hand. In the next moment, the vast graveyard below him crumbled into dust, as if it had never existed.

Enthrall wanted to obliterate at least a big part of the planet before leaving, but all of a sudden, the flower on his forehead began to glow.

"What's up with 2nd now? Why is he calling me? It's been so many years, and the war on the other end is still ongoing. It's not like we can leave this universe, so why doesn't master just step forward and wipe the struggling ones completely?"

He looked at the space around him. Despite its abundant resources, the planet was not vast. It was one of the smallest in this area. So, he knew the third general would handle it, even though the latter was rather lazy.

Nonetheless, before he left, he raised his hand with a smirk, and sapphire-colored particles filled the air.

"Now, I don't need to worry. Third is useless, but even if he didn't take care of this place, it would wither on its own if the air isn't cleaned on time."

The already polluted environment of the planet grew even darker within just a few days. The ones affected by the air were none other than the monsters inside the dark forest.

The monsters were on edge because of the sudden arrival of so many people on the planet. However, after the sapphire particles seeped into their bodies, they lost their minds and began attacking everything around them, without any regard for their own lives.

The scenario was similar to before, the only difference was that this time they were not controlled by a monster lord.
