BXBX NOVEL Chapter 385 A New Mission
"Run!"
"A sandstorm is approaching us!" He said. The others wanted to grab the dead bodies of the desert wolves but it seemed that they wouldn\'t have enough time left. The leader quickly grabbed the wolf pup since it was very light. He then proceeded to run at full speed.
They all quickly left the place.
The sandstorm was approaching quite quickly, so they had to run at full speed if they had to escape. Some dropped their armour and some equipment to make themselves lighter.
Nevertheless, they all ran with all their might and succeeded in evading the sandstorm.
At that time winds started to blow faster and faster.
The dead bodies of the wolves that were left behind ended up getting engulfed by the sandstorm which only grew bigger.
Surprisingly, the sandstorm\'s power started to reside as it suddenly started to rain.
It rained for the first time in the desert in a decade.
[Flash back end]
"Well, that\'s a sad story," Shin said to Pekka.
"How many years have passed since you and your brother died?", Shin asked to which Pekka replied.
"It\'s been four hundred years now…"
"That must suck. Staying four hundred years as a spirit." Shin said and then proceed to look at the other wolf that looked exactly like Pekka. He was standing beside Pekka.
"And you are Rekka."
"No."
*Ding*
[Lie.]
\'Huh? So you are a lie detector too?!\', Shin was surprised with the system\'s notification.
[Affirmative.]
\'Hmm…\'
\'So he is Rekka.\'
Well, Rekka is called the King of Lies so he is bound to lie…
As for Pekka, he is the King of Truth, so he would never lie…
"Haha, he is Rekka. He just has the bad habit to lie too much." Pekka said as he proceeded to glare at Rekka with an intense gaze.
Shin thought that this was interesting… Even after death, Rekka was still lying. But what was more astonishing was the fact that they could still exist in soul forms.
In fact, according to Pekka, their powers diminished or as if, they vanished when they fought the adventurers… it too was somewhat surprising.
Just when Shin was thinking about it, a system notification popped up.
*Ding*

\'The heck?\'
\'What\'s with those punishments?\', Shin stared at the failure part.
Although the rewards were tempting, the failure conditions and debuffs were something that he couldn\'t neglect.
But with all the time he had spent with the system, Shin knew one thing – whenever the system provided some strict conditions for failing a mission, it only meant one thing: the mission was something significantly important for his growth.
Therefore, he instantly decided to take up the mission and proceed with it.
"Do you guys know about the Shura kingdom?" Shin asked after hesitating for a moment.
As soon as both the brothers heard what shin said they widened their eyes.
"It was a kingdom that was built not too long ago after my death."
"The king of that kingdom is someone I want to kill… After all, he is the leader of the adventurers and the human who killed me.", Pekka said with hatred seen in his eyes.
Then they discussed more about the situation of the kingdom and the wolf brothers.
Since Shin had to complete his mission he tried to collect as much information as possible.
"Since you all want revenge and we are going through that path itself, we might as well help you all," Shin said.
"Come, join us. We both will use our forces to destroy the Shura Kingdom." – Shin said as if it was a piece of cake for him, but he did not know about the biggest handicap of the Ghost Wolves.
He noticed that all the ghost wolves looked disappointed or rather, angry and sad at the same time.
"Sorry, but we can\'t leave this death valley.", Pekka said.
"Huh?"
"You can\'t?", Shin asked with his eyes widened.
"No.", Pekka shook his head and proceeded to say, "This death valley wasn\'t here from the start. It was created after our death."
"What do you mean? If you all were trapped here for so long then how the heck did you come to know about the Shura kingdom?"
"You are not Pekka, you are Rekka aren\'t you?", Shin said as if he had solved the biggest mystery of his life.
But to his disappointment that wasn\'t the case.
He looked at the screen which clearly worded it as Pekka, however, Shin still wasn\'t convinced and jokingly, asked, "Do I have legs?"
"Yes.", Pekka answered.
But from the other side, another voice was heard.
"No."
"..."
"..."
Shin and Pekka looked at Rekka with an expression that asked, "Seriously?"
Shin then looks at Pekka once again and asked, "Then, how did you people come to know about the Shura kingdom?"
Pekka started to explain.
"You see, all the dead souls come here to death valley which became a gathering of all the strong or even weak souls."
"Even though souls get weaker after death, if the previous body would be strong then they would approximately only lose only fifty to hundred or a maximum of two hundred levels."
\'Huh?\'
\'What did he say?\', Shin\'s eyes widened when he heard this.
The fact that Pekka took on this opportunity to mention this was great because Shin just had a great revelation which he wouldn\'t have thought otherwise.
The drop in levels…
When he calculated, he realized something wasn\'t right and finally understood what it meant by dying…
