BXBX NOVEL Chapter 220 Tracking And Tombs
And the Bonebloom children all know where these tombs are… how wonderful.
…
A few days passed, and both I and Luna had made a full recovery, but a noticeable difference in Luna\'s appearance was the slight scar that crawled up her neck onto the very bottom of her left cheek.
"You look like a warrior," I smirked while packing all of my things, ready to go on our special trip outside of town.
"Does it look bad? I feel like my immense beauty has been tainted by this thing," She genuinely said, and the words leaking from her mouth weren\'t unbelievable.
"Yeah, you\'ve been tainted. Might as well black out your eyes and tattoo your forehead with the devil\'s mark or something,"
"Huh… I might try that out,"
"Wait, no, I was just kidd-"
"Yeah, yeah. Anyway, are you sure this isn\'t just a trap articulary created by Orme and the other Bonebloom kids?" Luna asked, her indecisiveness clear in the air.
It was like a sharp knife cutting through our good mood.
"I\'ve already confirmed with a lie detector skill. Well, I used one of the servants here… they\'re all pretty useful when it comes to interrogation, not gonna lie," I smiled before standing up and patting Luna on the back.
"What?" She asked as I\'d never done that before.
"Your flesh is squishy. You should work out more," I muttered as the decent body she had before was slowly dwindling away from her recovery.
"Yeah, right. I\'m just a mage, so I\'ll work out whenever I feel like I need to wield a weapon… In fact, I\'m not even a battle mage. Just support, so how about you stop crawling up my ass and mind your own business,"
"You really don\'t like working out, huh?" I smiled as we both made our way to the very front of the mansion, where everybody else was waiting.
"Of course not. It\'s too much work,"
Orme was sitting on the steps to the entrance, waiting for the both of us who had woken up late… and we, of course, used the excuse of recovering.
"*yawn*... so tired," Aisa mumbled.
"We need to be fast, dude. They\'re going to snatch up the inheritance before we even enter a tomb at this rate," Orme grumbled before slowly getting up and leading us out of the Wony property and into the city.
"Huh? You think we\'re going to get it ourselves?" Luna snarled, annoyed by Orme\'s stupidity… naivety? I don\'t know…
"Yeah? How else would we fucking get it,"
"Work smarter, not harder, dude. Is there somebody who you think has the best chance of finding the inheritance? I mean, you were close to the head, but it isn\'t like you were first in line for inheritance,"
Orme\'s eyes shifted upon looking down at the ground, slowly realizing what we were trying to tell him.
"If that\'s what you want to do… then… we\'ll have to follow them into the tomb. I doubt he\'s just going to bring it out and present it to us. He\'ll use it right then and there… okay, I know one of my siblings probably has the location or a rough estimate… now, we just need to figure out his location,"
"No need. I\'ve already placed a tracker on all the Bonebloom kids. It\'s not necessarily a tracking skill but more like something that shows me my prey… Uhhhh… It\'s so hard to describe, but the skill is called [Prey Hunter]. I have a tracker through the system on all of them. This is also the reason why I\'ve been so damn tired lately. It continuously sucks mana and stamina out of me while using this, so I\'ve been drinking mana potion non-stop,"
"That\'s incredible. That\'s just what we need. Can you find somebody who has a tall and muscular stature, a purple buzzcut, and almost snake-like purple eyes? He is the second in line for inheritance… or, was,"
"Yep, already found him. Okay, let\'s get going now," Aisa said, and as she led the way, I continuously fed her mana potions every hour or so.
…
(Unknown POV)
"Huh, so this is the tomb. It\'s smaller than the others…." I muttered to myself before activating [Sword Swirl], allowing my two trusty swords to slowly float around me at just a thought of my mind.
"Sir, nobody is following us yet," My shadow said as he quickly arrived beside me, kneeling on one knee to show his respect.
"Good, but they\'ll be here later. Most of them are dumb, but they still have intelligent shadows. If they\'re smart, they\'ll follow behind me… though I\'m sure you can take care of them. Right, S2?"
"Of course, sir," My shadow replied before disappearing once again, leaving me to open the gates to this small tomb by myself.
The tomb wasn\'t too hard to find if you already knew its location, but coming out to the edge of the damn moat is something unthinkable for the average person.
Though, of course, there is the verification that will kill them upon failing.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swooped past me, almost knocking me off of my feet but also drawing blood from my right arm.
The blood swirled with the wind, and after taking a U-turn, a long and narrow pathway was alit by several torches with purple flames.
In order to shorten the time, I placed both of my swords under my feet and used them to ski through the air until I reached the end of the stone pathway.
"I pay my respect to my great ancestor," I muttered, kneeling on both knees towards the massive stone coffin in front of me.
His body was still human, but this ancestor, in particular, was able to grow or shrink essentially anything that he touched.
But, he was most proficient in using tiny blades which would slip into the victim\'s body and then expand, killing them instantly.
"Quite the interesting way of killing somebody. As always, you are amazing," I complimented my ancestor once more before walking to the very back of it, where no purple flames appeared.
