BXBX NOVEL Chapter 213:153 Killing
Outside Blackwater City!
Blackwater Mine!
The icy, murderous voice of Dean McKenzie echoes.
Not far away, a middle-aged man gazing at his palm hears it loud and clear.
On hearing this, his face turns manic.
“Preparation? Who’s gonna prepare for that?
Who the hell lives on for others to feast upon?
I clawed my way out of a pile of corpses, Devoured each of those bastards, Grew stronger, step by step, Skilled by skilled, all to become the strongest – so no one could consume me!
I’ve grown to the point where I’m on the verge of a Six-turning, who can consume me? Who’s got the guts to consume me?”
“Me!”
Dean McKenzie’s icy voice rings out again as he abruptly looks up, locking eyes with the face above him.
At the same time, the middle-aged man looking at his palm instantaneously senses a sense of wrong.
A terrifying sense of crisis strikes him at the top of his head, making him instinctively want to close his hand and eyes.
But it’s too late!
He has already locked eyes with Dean McKenzie!
At that very moment, countless cries of despair and roars rush straight into his Consciousness Space.
In an instant, the Blackwater Mine in his palm shatters and collapses.
Almost immediately, the enormous face hovering above Dean McKenzie also shatters and collapses.
As it collapses, Dean McKenzie feels a tremor in his Spirit, and the whole world seems to clear.
Dean McKenzie realizes that his opponent has fallen into the trap!
“Find that guy for me, we absolutely can’t let him get away!”
As Dean McKenzie commands, his undead Skeletons spring into action.
Quickly, a middle-aged man gazing at his own palm while cries of tears being shed is dragged in front of Dean McKenzie by Anthony.
The moment he sees this man, Dean McKenzie’s first reaction is ‘Has Anthony caught the wrong person?’
Only when Dean McKenzie’s Appraisal Skill falls upon the middle-aged man does Dean McKenzie realize he caught the right person.
Name: Peter Richardson
Profession: Nightmare Manipulator (Fifth-turn) (Rare)
Level: 120
Status: Under a curse, Consciousness sunk among 180,000 Resentful Spirits.
Looking at these Attributes, Dean McKenzie can’t help but be taken aback.
He finds it hard to believe that a fifth-turn level 120, one who is on the verge of a Six-turning, was so easily defeated by him using a single skill.
“But no, isn’t the 180,000 Resentful Spirits Curse that powerful?
Then why does the same skill have minimal effect on Raymond?”
Dean McKenzie is perplexed. He carefully examines the 180,000 Resentful Spirits Curse skill.
Then compares this man Peter Richardson, with Raymond from before.
Combining the knowledge he inherited from Crohn, Dean McKenzie concludes: “This man Peter Richardson isn’t as capable as that Raymond from before, however, aside from skills and equipment, there should be another crucial reason.
That being he might still have a bit of humanity left in him, and deep down he probably doesn’t accept his deeds. He was just forced by the world to walk this path step by step.
While on the other hand, Raymond in the dungeon was different.
He is unapologetic and takes pride in offering 180,000 lives. He is not ashamed of it in the slightest.”
As he speaks, Dean McKenzie’s eyes fill with murderous intent.
“What the hell is this world we live in? What the hell is this skill?
People with guilt in their hearts can’t resist, while heartless, bloodthirsty people have nothing to fear?”
“Also, why’s Raymond unashamed?
Why can he take such pride?”
Dean McKenzie clenches his fists.
He uses a skill and feels guilty about it, thinking that his talent is evil and destructive, and dares not to use it in a ceremony,
Peter Richardson, step-by-step ‘eating people’ along the way, most likely killed fewer people than Raymond, has restlessness in the deepest recesses of his mind.
Why the hell is Raymond so proud then?
“I’ll be waiting for you, when I get to the Fourth-turn, I’ll personally confront you!”
Dean McKenzie murmurs to himself, withdrawing from his thoughts, focusing his attention on Peter Richardson before him.
This man’s consciousness is surrounded by the obsession from the 180,000 Resentful Spirits, he’s alive, but he has fallen into a vegetative state.
“Luckily he’s not dead. As long as he’s alive, he can still be used for the ceremony!”
At this moment, Dean McKenzie had already made up his mind.
He’s decided to use the Ritual of the Dead’s Reincarnation.
The incident at the Blackwater Mine made Dean McKenzie realize one thing.
As a person, you have to be absolute. Either be an absolute saint, or a sinner.
Otherwise, it’s easy to get caught out.
Peter Richardson is a case in point.
He’s not a good person, nor is he completely evil, at least he’s not completely insane. As a result, he falls into the 180,000 Resentful Spirits Curse.
Dean McKenzie is sure to learn from this experience.
However, whether it’s the absolute good or evil, Dean McKenzie believes neither are suited to him.
“I know my values. The peaceful world I lived in before I transitioned here nurtured my morality and conscience. I have them, but they’re not strong, at least not to the extent of Anthony.
There’s no way I can be a complete saint.
As for evil?
My nurtured conscience won’t allow me to be completely cruel, so I can only be an absolute person!”
“Yes, an absolute person!
I’m not a saint, I make mistakes, I’m simply an absolute person with a bit of a conscience.”
