Chapter 157 - A Husband Meets The Old Friend!
Chapter 157 - A Husband Meets The Old Friend!
A throne room was what would one expect from the death god.
It was filled with dignified aura that could make even one candle seem like so. The main source of light was still the vast chandelier up above them that was flashing with greenish lights throughout the whole throne room.
Those lights were reflected by the big mirrors on both sides.
'It's a black crow…'
A red carpet was the guide toward the black crow as it ended just before the black throne. Its ghostly body was relaxing on the throne with eyes pointed at the husband. It was relatively small, but Kyoya's party expected this black crow to grow in size soon.
As the husband stepped on the red carpet, he naturally prepared his knives to inflict a lot of damage to this ghost and just end this dark castle's journey. In the meantime, his cheeks got slightly scratched by the passing wind brought up by two ladies darting toward the throne.
It was Xiaoxiao and Noe who both were the frontlines in the current lineup.
BOOM!
To answer this charge, the black crow raised its wings and let out loud caws that made the whole chandelier shake. A black wind swept through the room, but the ladies easily blocked the incoming attack.
Xiaoxiao's spear was all red from the eternal flames burning around her shaft. Her speartip was even redder from the accumulated power! Thanks to Akaro sitting on her shoulder, Xiaoxiao had an easier time gathering up her strength.
It was just one of many benefits of having such a nice individual with herself!
Her new friend was also doing very well. Her scythe danced around her beautiful body! It formed a small space where Noe was unreachable. A black scythe was also a weapon with similar origins, so Noe couldn't be wounded by such an attack!
This was, of course, a mere beginning.
What brought this wind was black crow, but it was due to his transformation that raised its size to cover the half of the throne room! Its claws were also tarnishing the glorious image that was left within everyone's mind upon the entrance.
As its claws made more holes, the ladies threw themselves straight onto its beak that was so wide it could be attacked from two sides.
Boom! Boom!
Their attacks connected at the same time and even seemed to inflict a lot of damage which was a surprise. This surprise couldn't waste them time, so the ladies pressed further with their sharp weapons digging through its tangible body.
In the meantime, Josef and Maria did their work and began getting control over the throne room's floor. It was to entrap the ghost in one place, even if it could turn intangible later on! Because once they got their control, Maria and Josef could bring out more walls and traps to disturb the monster.
'It's a special place so we have to get control over it. How petty.'
'Don't whisper and focus.'
'Oh, you want to come back home this fast, Josef? Is it because of the husband?'
'Yeah, something happened… Something big, you know?'
Maria and Josef were whispering while doing their task. Both of them looked rather carefree, but their job was usually like that unless the monster or any other enemy proved to be too strong and required more people to deal damage.
They also liked to work with the earth and everything that was built upon it.
Of course, Josef would do his best to learn everything and hone his abilities in every possible situation, but this time he didn't even think of his earth labyrinth even noce. He hoped to end the dark castle's journey as fast as possible due to Kyoya.
As a friend, he could see that something big happened. And the rest had similar feelings, but since Kyoya was silent about it, nothing could be done. They could only believe it wasn't that serious.
So the couple began working harder to assist their teammates.
CAW! CAW! CAW!
But the crow ghost was truly the last boss! Its wide and big body couldn't be stopped as it towered above Xiaoxiao and Noe. Both ladies were leaping and launching their attacks nonstop yet its charge was not stopped at all.
The ghost moved as if it had a goal in mind.
Its destination was the husband who was hidden yet not so as the ghost easily could find him with its eyes. It made Kyoya grumble, but he came out with the golden-red sparks scattering through the throne room!
Then, his knife dug through the ghost's tangible body.
'You are finally here! How long do you plan to hide for, the husband?!'
'Wron? Is it you?'
When Kyoya made a close contact with the ghost, the familiar voice rang out. It was the black crow from the sixth death god's castle and his very disciple! This person was currently here which was already stupefying for the husband.
However, Wron quickly said that it was just a part of his energy being here to convey the message. He knew that Kyoya would come here as he eavesdropped his conversation with the master!
Wron came here to ask the husband for something!
'What would someone from the divine lands need?'
'It's not me, but my friend, you know… She is from the low world pillar, but managed to turn into a direct disciple of one of the gods. I am just here to ask for the help.'
'Oh, you are asking for a friend.'
'Yeahhh, friend. Heh.'
As mischievous as ever, Wron chuckled which made Kyoya narrow his eyes. In the death castle, Wron became 'the husband' of another disciple and she seemed to be against any polygamous relationship.
However, this chuckle somewhat made Kyoya think otherwise.
He couldn't stop himself from asking.
'I thought you were in a monogamous relationship.'
'Bruh.'
As the question rang out, Kyoya felt his mind pulled toward the special place. It was a similar feeling to that of the fire divine demon, so Kyoya knew that he appeared in the mind of the black crow.
Wron was here, his whole humanoid self sitting on the chair like a boss.
"Just one year has passed yet I already can have another woman. That's how it is, the husband!"
