Chapter 2627: Chapter 2631

Alex quickly stepped back and stared at that eerie ball of flame.

‘This used to be Dorothy’s consciousness.’

“The flame was so aggressive and violent that even the soul of someone as powerful as the princess

got burned just like that in a matter of seconds.’

‘Then, has Dorothy’s consciousness been burned as well?’

Worried, Alex stared unfazed at the flame. Then, he found out that as soon as the princess died, the

golden flame instantly extinguished. Not even a spark was left, and none remained on the ground of

her consciousness.

“What was that then?”

“How did it light up?”

Alex still felt lingering fears. When he was facing that ball of fire, he knew that he would likely perish if

he were to be burned to death as well.

‘How did the fire start out of nowhere?’

‘Could it be some sort of flame of inhibition? Her final words were about the Emperor… Could she have

found out some truth at the end of her life?’

‘Was it an attack by the Emperor of the Underworld?’

Alex could only guess, but he had no answer to it.

The Emperor of the Underworld referred to an invincible demon that strayed from the River Styx and

started his own crew, then finally was suppressed by Dairaionji Temple.

The corpse princess was dead. Other than a little spooked, Alex felt nothing else. He immediately went

over to observe Dorothy’s sealed soul.

A few minutes later, he realized that the seal wasn’t too secure. With his abilities, he could definitely

unseal it. Nonetheless, he needed some time.

Whoosh.

Alex’s soul returned to his body.

After explaining the situation to Xerxes and Pigsy, he returned, getting ready to unseal her.

Outside, the skies had darkened, and it was breezy. The seas were quiet.

Xerxes and Pigsy sat facing one another, in between them a huge pile of bones with gold bone

patterns. These had been picked up from the battlefield before. They were the dark golden bone

demons killed by Alex.

Pigsy was touched, it felt like crying. “I’ve been in the Underworld for some years and strayed

everyday, but I’ve never had a full stomach.”

“And don’ t even mention these dark golden bone patterns. Even if they were red, it was never my turn

to consuming them. I’d have never thought I’d have the chance to eat all I want!”

Xerxes was moved. “You’re a treasure hunting pig. How did you get so poor? That’s rare to see.”

Pigsy said, “I… I am a little unlucky.”

Xerxes gestured his hand at the bones. “You start first!”

If Pigsy were in his flesh right now, he would’ve long been dripping in saliva. When he heard Xerxes’

words, he no longer held back. He grabbed the biggest bone and took a big bite.

Then, in the next second, another tragedy broke out.

“Arghhh!”

With a painful scream, Pigsy was sent flying by those dark golden bone patterns.

“What’s with this?!”

“Why can’t I swallow them?”

Xerxes’s hand went to his head. “Oh, I remember! These bone demons belonged to the princess! She

had her demons processed, so they contained a special energy of the Underworld. Generally, trialists

can’t eat them, and they would be harmful to those who try.”

“Huh?” Pigsy put on a face. “Then why did we go through the hard work of collecting the demons? Isn’t

it a waste?”

Xerxes said, “Well, it’ s not. There’s still some use. I can eat them.”

Pigsy was excited again. “How? Teach me!”

“I can’t. I’ve swallowed the princess’ Spiritual Corpse Core. That’s why I can eat them,” Xerxes sighed.

“F*ck this!” Pigsy threw the bones on the ground. It felt like crying, but no tears came out.

‘Damn it! I sure am one unlucky pig!’
