Chapter 17: Merlin and Keith II: A new enemy has arrived
"Obviously," Merlin answered.
"What did the system say when you killed it?" Keith asked.
"You have slain a dragon monarch." As soon as he answered Keith, he thought to himself whilst stroking his chin, 'Why did it say dragon Monarch when it wasn't?'
Keith then explained, "Maybe the system said that it was dragon monarch because it either had the consciousness of the dragon monarch or they renamed the monster. But it's most likely they did both."
"What makes you think that?" Merlin questioned.
"A hunch," Keith answered without hesitating. Merlin wanted to punch Keith so bad right now but he was able to control himself.
"Now tell me the information that you've got?" Merlin demanded.
"Sure, but I have to do something first," he said as he snapped his fingers. As soon as he snapped his fingers, they were encapsulated in a bubble made out of air.
"I guess I wasn't the only one who noticed," Merlin said as he stared at the corner of his eye.
"Someone is spying on us," Keith said. "But let's ignore him for now."
Keith started explaining the whole resurrection project. "The resurrection project just as the name implies is a project of bringing people from the dead. They once experimented on seven bodies and the originals owners of the bodies did come back to life.
The oni guild and dragon guild worked together because both sides had a common goal."
"What is that goal?" Merlin asked.
"They wanted to find suitable bodies in order to bring their kings back to life," Keith answered.
"Then shouldn't this project be called the Reincarnation Project instead," Merlin said in a sarcastic tone.
"You are right," Keith agreed. "I need to ask you a question. Do you know the kings they want to reincarnate?"
Merlin thought to himself for a while and only two people came to mind. "If they bring those two back to life, the whole world is doomed," he exclaimed, his voice carrying a hint of fear.
"Yeah, and we won't be able to beat them this time since we are heavily weakened," Keith said. "But with the help of the system we might be able to get strong enough to beat them."
"I hope so," Merlin said with a worried look in his eyes. "So do you think that they will use his body to bring back one of those guys?" Merlin questioned.
"It is very likely since he and I have the blood of the dragon king coursing through our veins," Keith answered. He looked at Merlin's face and saw the worried look on his face.
"Don't worry, we'll stop them before they do anything to him," Keith with a reassuring smile. "Now let's deal with that motherfucking spy."
"Alright." Merlin nodded.
Merlin used his ability [Teleportation] and teleported both him and Keith to the man who was spying on them.
They were currently on top of a roof of a very tall building. Keith and Merlin were standing two meters away from the enemy. The person turned around and said, "Nice to see you again, Merlin."
The person looked exactly like the man or monster that Merlin had killed earlier.
"Can't say it's nice to see you again," Merlin said.
"I see you brought some company with you," The man said, pointing his finger at Keith. Keith was irritated by this person, sent a slash and cut off his hand.
"Is that how your friend treats everyone he sees?" The man asked in a sarcastic tone.
"No, that's how he treats scumbags like you," Merlin answered, his tone harsh and cold.
The man in front of them chuckled for a bit and then asked a question, "I guess you want to fight me?" "But I have to inform that I much stronger than that pitiful version of me you fought earlier."
Keith and Merlin got into a fighting stance. "We'll see about," they both said in perfect synchronization.
Merlin used [Teleportation] to teleport Keith behind the man and Keith kicked the man in the head but to his surprise the man didn't even dodge the attack. Keith dashed back to Merlin.
"This guy won't be easy to kill," Keith said. "This guy might be an A rank."
"You are right," Merlin agreed.
