Chapter 505 - Something I Want
"He is a Death Wraith, working for the Death Corps who rule, control and maintain balance in the universe from the underworld, their own separate plane that spans infinitely. You have become an Evil Soul and they will send these weaklings to pursue and eliminate you," Adam revealed as he neared Bai Niu.
"But in this case, I don't leave problems that I have caused for others to fix, so I will deal with you myself," he continued as he took out his Death Devouring Daggers.
"So now you will die and enter the Soul Sea, then will probably be reincarnated. Well, that was if you didn't become an Evil Soul and went with that fellow over there. If I kill you, your existence will be ended, never to be reborn again,"
Immediately after hearing that, Bai Niu turned around to fly away, but he was defenceless against Adam in his Soul Form, who was at his full strength and eliminated him in one go, slicing his Soul Form into pieces with his Death Devouring Daggers.
Although the Death Wraith could only see the soul that it was targeting and sent to receive, it was clear to it that there was another powerful soul near it and was even more frightened than before.
"Urgent report. The Evil Soul has been eliminated with ease by an unknown entity. Requesting permission to lift the sensory cover,"
The Death Wraith's reaction was understandable and hearing the response it received, Adam recognised the voice as that of Shinka's uncle.
"You may remove the sensory cover, but return to the underworld and await reinforcements if the soul is too powerful. It is unlikely to dare to attack you, but be careful anyway,"
As soon as he received permission to remove his sensory cover, the Death Wraith placed its hands over its eyes and to its surprise, it saw Adam floating a few metres away from it. From Adam's appearance, aura and presence, it was clear that he wasn't an Evil Soul, while he couldn't even tell if he was a Soul Cultivator.
"Hey! Wandering soul. Did you see where the Evil Soul that was here went?" the Death Wraith asked, sensing an evil power from whoever had killed the Evil Soul of Bai Niu.
What he had sensed was actually Adam's daggers, and appearing beside the rookie Death Wraith, Adam snatched the communication device he was holding.
"Yo, old man. Your that old bull right?" said Adam through the communication device, before the Death Wraith could even react.
Hearing the random soul before him that didn't even emanate any Soul Power and yet still dared to call the princess by her first name and speak to such a powerful figure directly, the Death Wraith was gobsmacked.
Knowing how strict his boss was, allowing his communication device would get him in big trouble, especially after his sensory cover was removed, but how on Earth was Adam so fast?
While at the same time he was shocked by the world of the living's appearance and mesmerised by it, comparing it to the gloomy and lifeless underworld that he was used to. Awaiting the angry reaction that he expected from his boss, one that was powerful enough to shake the entire world, the one he heard shocked the Death Wraith greatly.
Old bull was the nickname that Adam had come up for Shinka's uncle and knowing that bulls were mere animals that humans would consume, it infuriated him the first time he heard it, while it also annoyed him to be called old.
However, it made it clear who it was that was speaking through the communication device.
"You little rascal. You better not have killed that rookie Death Wraith. This was one of his first tasks," Shinka's uncle said, in the loud and authoritative manner that he usually spoke in. However, he wasn't as assertive and aggressive with Adam, which was weird.
Just who the hell was that random wandering soul and how was he so chummy with the boss?
"Don't worry, he is fine. While I also dealt with that Evil Soul for you, which I partly caused, but still one you a favour by eliminating it," reassured him Adam, who spoke to him comfortably, knowing that the powerful figure he spoke to who had the power to influence the entire universe, wasn't planning on getting rid of him anytime soon.
"Good, now return the communication device to my subordinate. They are property of the underworld and just coming in contact with one makes you a criminal that would be crushed by the Death Corps. Luckily for you in this case I can overlook it,"
"Hmph. It was me who helped you in this case, so you should be rewarding me. But anyway, you seem to be understaffed in the underworld. Is it maybe because of the conflict on the Mortal Intersection?" asked Adam.
"What! Aren't you an ordinary wandering soul on one of the positive Mortal Realms? How do you know about that conflict?!" exclaimed Shinka's uncle.
He knew that Adam was out of the ordinary and from his brave and confident nature; he was quite special, but there was no way he should have any knowledge about universal affairs.
"Don't worry about that, but just to lend you a hand, if there are any Evil Souls in my vicinity I will handle them for you, but I want something in return," said Adam, quickly moving on from that.
He had already gotten the answer he wanted from the power Soul Creature's reaction. The waging wars on the Mortal Intersection must be wild for even the underworld to be struggling with handling all the souls of the dead, but it was also a good opportunity for him to get something.
Accumulating all he knew about Death Wraiths, he found something that he wanted, which would make his encounters with those from the Death Corps much easier.
Something that would allow him to act much more freely in his Soul Form, but something that he knew Shinka's uncle wouldn't be willing to easily hand out....
