Golden Fox with System

269 Chapter 269

[Edited Loki]

Theo's voice sounded calm. It was as if he was talking to a close friend, he smiled at the mercenary and said, "Oh, why are you so nervous? Huh? I'm just trying to prepare dinner for my good friend."

"No, you're not my friend, stay away!" Seeing Theo's smile, he thought that even a demon would be afraid. It was too scary!

"Haha, relax." Theo smiled even more at the fear of the mercenary who had already pissed himself: "The fun things are just beginning."

A large cauldron appeared on the mercenary's side. The other mercenaries wanted to move and fight this man, but in the end, they found themselves trapped by a shadow in the same way that this mercenary who killed his girlfriend and son was.

They began to tremble with fear, they knew they were not strong to go against this man. Their life was in the hands of this man; he looked like the god of death who decides whether they live or die.

No matter what "buzzing" those mercenaries were doing. Theo started pouring cooking oil into the cauldron.

Using normal flames, he got the cauldron to start heating. It's worth pointing out that the cauldron was two meters high. It was big enough to fit the mercenary inside.

Of course, the mercenary wasn't a fool, he was already able to imagine what was to come... If he was afraid before... it got even worse. His eyes turned white and he started foaming at the mouth. Of course, that was all pretense, he wanted Theo to feel sorry for him and not do that to him.

Theo began to wonder if this mercenary thought he was an idiot. Even if it were true, he would still continue what he was doing, besides, Theo was already in the mind of this mercenary, he knew it was all pretending. Who exactly was this mercenary trying to fool?

When the oil began to bubble... Theo said happily, "Okay, it's ready." He looked at the frightened mercenary and asked, "Would you prefer it well seasoned, besides, rare or well-done?"

"..."

The mercenary didn't answer, he just came to his senses and started crying loudly! His crying was regrettable, which resonated all over the forest. Incredibly, even after all these noises, no insect came to this place. Of course, these mercenaries, elders, and kids were so shocked by the sight of what they were seeing that they didn't have time to think about it much.

In fact, it was all disguised by Theo's illusions, because of which the insects weren't getting to where they were.

"Never mind, we'll go with good roast and no spice at all," Theo said casually as if he were preparing a large piece of meat.

Making the mercenary levitate. It was then that Theo brought the mercenary down into the cauldron with the oil bubbling. The mercenaries swallowed dry respectively. Their desperation was not much less than that of the mercenary who was about to enter the cauldron.

The moment the mercenary's feet came into contact with the hot oil... his regrets got even worse than a pig in the slaughterhouse!

"Don't do it! Forgive me, forgive me, let me go, I promise never to do anything bad again! Please!"

Theo pretended that he did not hear the mercenary scream and beg for his life and continued to let the mercenary into the cauldron.

Although they thought this mercenary deserved something worse than death, the scene they were seeing was still very strong for them. It was even worse than watching the woman catch fire, the man's skin was bubbling and bursting...

As the mercenary plunged into the cauldron, he screamed even more until his voice became hoarse. That lasted almost 20 minutes of pain and suffering for the mercenary.

At the end, when Theo realized that the mercenary would no longer hold out and would die, he extended his illusions and made sure that no one noticed anything different than what he was going to do. He made a sickle with his true mana of darkness and passed through the body of the mercenary who was in the cauldron.

What surprised Theo was that the soul of the woman and child, even if weak, was trapped in that mercenary's soul. Of course, they were no longer burned as in the hologram, even weak, you could see the image of the woman.

Theo sighed and separated the soul from the body of the mercenary and let the two souls go.

'Why did her and the baby's soul get stuck in this mercenary's soul?' Theo thought with doubt, 'Is that because they had a very strong resentment against this mercenary?

Theo didn't know for sure, it was also the first time he had seen this happen, so he had nothing as a reference in the face of such a situation.

Knowing that thinking about it now would lead nowhere, Theo wore <Devour> on the soul of the mercenary who was screaming in endless fear.

"Sigh~"

"Pitiful, but it just seems to devour souls that I will get really will increase the age of my soul quickly.' Theo was aware of how good it was to raise his soul level. It was even better and more difficult than raising the level of cultivation.

But he couldn't always find scum like this guy. If it were someone who only had a few conflicts, he wouldn't feel comfortable using <Devour> in the soul of that being. This is because it is practically exterminating the existence of this living being, eliminating all chances of reincarnation.

Of course, that was something he thought, he really didn't have any concrete proof that this was really what would happen after using <Devour> in someone's soul.

While all this was going on, for the kids and the mercenary, they only "saw" Theo put the mercenary's body after he was killed in the storage ring.

Theo took the opportunity to pick up the two headless bodies of the mercenaries fallen to the ground and put them in his storage ring.

After a quick reading in the minds of all the mercenaries and the elder. Theo realized that it was all scum on the same level as this mercenary who had killed his mother and son.

Theo grumbled with grief: "In the end, it was all flour from the same bag. One scum worse than the other..."

Each of these mercenaries had already lost their heads, but like the first two, their heads were being held by Theo's mental power. Just like a sewing thread, if he just took the thread off their heads would fly.

But Theo didn't give them such an easy end. In the end, they all ended up in the cauldron full of cooking oil. In addition, their souls also perished and were devoured.

Theo thought initially that he would be able to make his soul grow to twelve years old, but in the end, it didn't. However, he felt that it would not be long, perhaps if he stayed a few days meditating, who knows?
