Chapter 925: Chapter 560: Special Undead
Lis stood outside the Golden Coconut Inn, gazing solemnly at the building shrouded in night.
A legendary presence had been constantly monitoring this innâŠ
No!
It should be said, monitoring the girl inside the inn, Jue!
Just now, it seemed that because of his intention to make a move on Jue, he was targeted by the hidden Legendary.
Lisâs brain raced, he had thought about testing whether this rather extraordinary girl would evoke any negative reactions.
But he hadnât expected a Legendary to be incessantly watching Jue, perhaps even hiding nearby.
The Legendary paying attention to Jue is likely the controller of this illusion, Legendary Mage Ihelos!
After all, having a Legendary Mage in this Sand Sea Town is quite rare.
Unless the two appearing Legendary Strongmen were at odds with each other, itâs unlikely there are two Legendary Strongmen within this illusion.
If Ihelos had been watching Jue all along, why hadnât he made a move on Lis when Lis, as an outsider, interacted with Jue?
Lis hadnât detected anything amiss.
Could it be that Ihelos actually doesnât care about outsiders interacting with Jue but wouldnât allow harm to come to her?
Lis felt something was off, particularly with Ihelosâs behavior pattern.
The mission description indicated that Ihelos should be obsessed with reclaiming his beloved, investing great efforts to engulf the entire town in an illusion.
Time halted here, and the residents became undead creatures.
But would a mad, obsessed person remain indifferent in the face of possible harm to his beloved?
Not even a warning to Lis, never appearing before him?
Itâs quite dissonantâŠ
Considering Lisâs current power, even if Jue might be an undead creature, sheâs as insignificant as an ant before him.
Lis certainly planned to test Jue, with no intention of harming her.
But others didnât know that!
At least, Lis believed if someone tried to harm the helpless Taya, he wouldnât just warn them.
Lis had only retreated a short distance, just beyond the Golden Coconut Inn.
Such a distance is merely under the watchful eyes of a Legendary StrongmanâŠ
Thatâs why the absence of a pursuit from the anticipated Legendary Strongman surprised him.
Could it be that Legendary Mage Ihelos has some problem or inconvenience, resulting in such circumstances?
Lis wasnât too sure, but for now, he didnât plan to make another move on Jue.
With insufficient information, even if the Legendary Mage Ihelos appeared, Lis wouldnât be able to gather anything useful.
The appearance of a Legendary made Lis contemplate leaving the inn with Taya, to a different location.
Though Tayaâs power had grown considerably post the Ambundo City ordeal, there was hardly room for resistance against a Legendary Mage who conceals his presence.
However, Lis ultimately did not do so, considering that Ihelos hadnât confronted him, it was likely he wouldnât harm Taya either.
It would be better for Taya to stay at the Golden Coconut Inn, able to promptly inform Lis if anything happened.
After a thought, Lis once again sank into the shadow, leaving the inn.
âŠ
In the alley amid the night,
Lis stood in the middle, an Ihelos resident collapsed before him.
Judging by the attire, he seemed to be a regular vendor of the small town.
Due to the arrival of the Gur Festival, his closing up and heading home got delayed, resulting in running into Lis, who was seeking the next experiment subject.
Without any notice, Lis struck him unconscious, letting him lie before him.
The manâs body lay quietly on the cold ground, his frame like a dead branch snapped by the wind, devoid of vitality. His face was pale, eyes closed as if immersed in endless sleep, breathing so faint it was barely detectable, like lingering at the boundary of life and death.
Lis placed his right hand on the manâs chest, feeling the warmth of a typical human body and his steadily beating heart.
No different from the ordinary.
Lis formed his hand into a blade, gently slicing the manâs right arm.
Without a sound, the manâs right arm severed, despite no reaction from the unconscious man,
Indeed!
Lis looked at the manâs wound, nodding slightly.
The residentâs severed arm unnaturally twisted away from the body, yet eerily no blood seeped forth.
The wound wasnât the anticipated vivid red and dampness but an abnormal dead hue of ashen white, like lifeless winter wood, exuding a foreboding aura. Within the gray, muscle fibers faintly trembled, seemingly searching for something.
The resident before him was not a living being, but an existence akin to undead.
However, differing significantly from normal undead creatures.
Lis examined the severed arm wound closely, extending his hand to feel the lifeless body.
Moments later, Lis stood up, holding the residentâs severed arm in his right hand.
