A 2.5 metre tall creature made of white bones that swayed disorderly from the skeleton slowly made its way forward.
This creature was all bones, sharp as lances. The bones fanned out like blooming flower petals, completely blocking the narrow passage. With every step, a thick aura of death assaulted their senses, as if to warn them that they didn't belong in this world.
As a high-ranking undead creature, the Bone Demon had to bear the restrictions of the contract to enter this world. It brought with it the deadly aura of the netherworld, the desolation, and the hatred for the creatures of this world. Because it possessed high intelligence, it could sense the fear of the creatures before it.
When it reached the entrance to the passage, the power of the covenant ordered it to stop. His original intention to kill the creatures before him was abruptly stopped. By the time it had arrived, it had already fought furiously against the caster's contract and understood that the caster was capable of destroying its power, so it hadn't resisted.
When everyone in the cave looked towards Asa, they naturally saw this huge bone demon coming and completely blocking the exit. Behind the Bone Demon's swaying sharp spears, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed incessantly, like drums pounding on their panicked hearts.
In the span of a few breaths, several balls of ghostly fire lit up behind the bone demon, appearing like miniature lanterns that slowly approached along with the footsteps. When the ghostly fires reached the bone demon, everyone could see the shadows of some huge knights under the light of the ghostly fires, blocking the exit.
At this point, everyone in the mountain cave knew that the only way out was sealed. If they wanted to leave, the only way was to kill the bone demon and the evil knights. But who knew if there wouldn't be countless undead creatures in addition to the bone demon and the evil knights?
If there really were a large number of undead in the narrow mountain cave, it would be harder to get out alive than it would be to reach the sky, since they didn't have a light mage. As their minds quickly spun around and they saw that these undead creatures had no intention of entering the cave, their anxious hearts temporarily calmed down. Their eyes couldn't help but turn back to Han Shuo.
At that moment, Han Shuo had cut off all the chains from Trunks and applied several colourful medicines to his body. Even the pus-filled, rotting wounds were cleaned up. During this process, Han Shuo's darkened face looked terrifying.
"Count Bryan, this is none of your business. If you save Trunks, you'll become the enemy of our three powers in the Valley of Sunshine. You should think carefully!" Trulla stammered for a while before summoning up the courage to speak to Han Shuo under everyone's intense gaze.
Han Shuo did not answer, not even turning his head to look at Trulla!
As he placed his right hand on Trunks' back, black rays of light entered Trunks' body from the hidden angle. The unconscious Trunks could only feel that his dwindling vitality was slowly returning.
Gradually, Trunks even felt a thread of strength. In his weakened state, he suddenly shouted, "Asa, I will kill you! I won't let you go even if I die!"
Lightning Archmage Asa clearly heard Trunks' subconscious, weak cry. His face immediately turned as white as paper, his fingers gripping the staff tightly. His eyes flickered as he turned to look behind him. But when he saw the blazing eyes of the bone demon and the evil knights on their fire-spitting warhorses, he turned his head hastily back.
After the light cry, Trunks slowly regained consciousness. As his strength and vitality slowly returned, he opened his eyes with difficulty. The first thing he saw was Han Shuo's terribly dark face.
However, when he saw Han Shuo's terrifyingly dark face, Trunks became extremely agitated. His mouth curled into a silent, wry smile, his dry lips slowly moving, "Bryan, you came?"
Nodding his head, Han Shuo sighed softly and said, "I came a little late, you are already so badly wounded."
"I'm not dead, so it's not too late! As long as I'm not dead, I still have hope for revenge. Even if my arms and legs are cut off, at least I still have teeth, I want to devour those beasts!" Trunks' voice wasn't loud, but the hostility in it made everyone feel an endless chill.
Off to the side, Asa felt a chill in his heart. His eyes quickly glanced around and then back to Trulla. On the other side, Trulla was silently communicating with the Cairo mercenaries. The gap between the three powers was unconsciously narrowing as they clearly knew what to do when facing a common enemy.
Han Shuo was indifferent to their actions, only keeping an eye on Trunks. It was only after Trunks finished speaking that Han Shuo replied, "Don't worry, you've eaten a Rebirth Pill, even if your tendons are cut off, I can still heal you back to your previous state!"
"Gilbert, come over here and help me take good care of Trunks!" Han Shuo called to the area behind Trunks. A rumbling sound could be heard from underground, and a moment later, the dark dragon Gilbert burrowed out.
When the mystical demon had seen Trunks suffering such inhuman torture, Han Shuo had immediately ordered Gilbert to approach from underground at the fastest possible speed while he summoned the undead creatures to seal the only way out of the cave. When Han Shuo had made his way to Trunks' location, Dark Dragon Gilbert was still in the underground passageway, so he was a few minutes slower.
After Gilbert appeared, he took one look at Trunks and his eyes became bloodshot. He immediately roared in anger, "I want to eat you all!"
During this time, Gilbert had always stayed with Trunks, and their friendship had unwittingly grown. Trunks was a person of good character who treated Gilbert with extraordinary generosity. As for the Dark Dragon Gilbert, he was very upright, except for a few bad points. When he saw Trunks being tortured to the point of being unrecognisable, he couldn't suppress the rage in his heart.
Han Shuo stopped Gilbert with one hand and coldly instructed, "Take care of Trunks. As for those people in the mountain cave, just leave them to me."
"Master, I want to kill them, I want to avenge Trunks as well!" The Dark Dragon Gilbert couldn't bear to see Trunks' miserable state. There was even a hint of sobbing in his voice. This was the result of Gilbert's excessive anger and grief.
"Rest assured, there will be an opportunity, you and Trunks will have that opportunity!" Han Shuo solemnly vowed and once again instructed, "Take good care of Trunks, don't let him suffer any more harm!
Gilbert's voice was choked with emotion as he nodded in agreement, holding back the tears that were about to flow. Holding a bucket of clean water, he helped Trunks clean the stench from his wounds. Gilbert couldn't help but sob, "Damn, how could you be so careless, you fool..."
For Trunks, the pain had already numbed his senses. However, when he saw the dark dragon expressing his feelings of rage to the point of crying and Han Shuo forcefully suppressing his rage, making him appear dark and terrifying, something warm slowly merged with the demonic yuan energy that Han Shuo had transferred into his body, nourishing his injured body.
"You, what do you want? We, we are not afraid of you. It's best if you think about it clearly!" Seeing Han Shuo steadily approaching with a sombre expression after Trunks' injury had stabilised, Asa shouted, appearing ferocious while being cowardly at heart.
Without wasting any words, Han Shuo suddenly transformed into a bloody-coloured streak, charging like lightning into the middle of these people, unleashing punches and kicks. The sound of breaking bones echoed through the mountain cave, making one's scalp tingle.
In such a confined area, Han Shuo's demonic arts were at their best. As the frenzied, violent attacks fell, there was simply no one who could withstand his onslaught. The strongest people here were Sword Master Trulla and Lightning Archmage Asa, who were simply no threat to the current Han Shuo.
In a matter of minutes, the fifteen experts of the three great powers in the mountain cave that held Trunks captive had not only had their bones broken, but their tendons severed as well. For the swordsmen and knights who cultivated combat aura, such an injury meant that they had become completely useless. As for the mages like Asa, Han Shuo cut off their tongues on top of these injuries, meaning that they would never be able to cast magic again.
"I won't kill you. When Trunks recovers, he will slowly skin you alive. This is the only way to make up for the damage he's suffered. Looking at the mass of flesh lying paralysed on the ground, as well as Asa spitting blood from his severed tongue, Han Shuo calmly announced their fate.
With his tendons torn and bones broken, Asa couldn't even let out a tragic howl, his eyes filled with despair and regret. He regretted not killing Trunks earlier, regretted not throwing everything to the wind to kill Han Shuo the first time Han Shuo came to the Valley of Sunshine.
Dark Dragon Gilbert's choked voice slowly returned to normal in the face of the perpetrator's suffering. Trunks' weakened body was also slowly regaining some strength. With the support of the Dark Dragon and Han Shuo's demonic yuan energy, he could even stand up with some difficulty.
Trunks looked at Asa's miserable state and suddenly let out a crazy laugh. His owl-like laughter was filled with endless resentment and unspeakable satisfaction.
As Trunks laughed like a devil, the pain and pressure of the last few days seemed to be released along with his laughter. He stared at Asa as he laughed to his heart's content, his eyes filled with a bone-deep resentment that enveloped Asa like an ice-cold prison, causing him to feel a chill that penetrated to his bones.
Asa understood that this time, in Trunks' hands, the suffering he'd have to endure would be far more extreme. Having unleashed his anger on Trunks' body as much as he wanted, Asa had no doubt that once Trunks regained his strength, Trunks would torture him to death. With his body completely crippled and his tongue cut off, Asa's heart was filled with despair. Unfortunately, in his current situation, he couldn't even beg for death and could only wait for the endless suffering to come.
After a long time, Trunks' wild laughter finally subsided. He had laughed so much that tears had started to flow. After his emotions calmed down, Trunks was silent for a while before he said in a much lower tone, "Bryan, this time it was Laureton, Florida and Adam Menlo who allied themselves, otherwise I would have definitely escaped!
Once he had reached the ranks of the Great Swordmasters in the Valley of Sunshine, only the three-time berserker Laureton was able to fight on equal terms with him. It was because of this confidence that Trunks dared to act without fear. Unfortunately, he had underestimated the vileness and shamelessness of others and had been taken prisoner.
"Say no more, I already know. None of them will escape your vengeance, I promise!" Han Shuo took a deep breath and calmly promised Trunks.
"Bryan, I never expected Laureton to make a move so quickly! Just the night before, Laureton was still drinking and chatting with me. Hahaha, I really was too naive to overlook him!" Trunks' smile was self-mocking, but his voice was filled with hatred for Laureton.
"Laureton... Laureton..." Han Shuo muttered twice, his eyes slowly turning cold.
"Master, Trunks' body is still very bad, he shouldn't stay here too long, we should leave immediately!" Dark Dragon Gilbert wiped the tear stains from the corners of his eyes. Not caring about the filth and foul stench from Trunks' body, he supported Trunks on his body,
Han Shuo nodded calmly in agreement. The bone demon blocking the cave entrance suddenly walked out, with a few zombie warriors following close behind. At Han Shuo's command, they picked up all the bodies from the ground.
In the process, Han Shuo ordered the bone demon to provide a dozen bones. Each zombie warrior used the sharpness of the bones to pierce these people's legs like piercing barbecued fish, adding to their pain. "Let's go!" Han Shuo shouted, followed by an incantation. The undead creatures in the depths of the passage disappeared, making the passage appear wider.
