Chapter 247 – Forbidden Skill – Part 1

Old man Rick leaned his back against the wall, releasing out a sigh before scanning his eyes on Tang and the cleric. He had heard about the [Revival] during his heyday as an adventure. However, the skill was regarded as a forbidden skill because it needed a human sacrifice.

The old man never thought he would hear the skill now, "Are you sure about this? That's a taboo skill, you will–" you will be hunted down by the churches, but then he realized the church was their enemy.

"I don't care. A skill exists to be used, whether it's taboo or not. In the first place, you guys regarded the skill as taboo, not me. It may be taboo for you, but not to me," Tang Shaoyang replied to the old man's unfinished words, "Moreover, I am not asking your permission, with or without your permission, I will resurrect her. I am here to take her body."

"Hahaha… You are right, who cares about the taboo thing. I will let you have her once again, she's level 31, that's what you want to know, right?" The old man let out laughter. At this point, the old man no longer feared the church, "It will be hard for you to look for the sacrifices."

"No, that's actually easy. We already have 32 sacrifices, I only need to look for 68 sacrifices," the 32 Royal Knights who survived the [Thunder Storm] were good sacrifices. Actually, he wanted to torture them for his pleasure, not expecting them to be used as a sacrificial pawn.

"And I have one with me," the old man jumped and rushed out. He returned with a man wearing leather armor. The man's face full of bruises and tears, "I am sorry, Chief! I don't know that they will start to kill the villagers too. They told me they would just catch the adventurers," the man was pleading while being dragged by his feet.

However, Chief Rick did not bother with his plea as he threw the man toward Tang Shaoyang, "Make it 33, this man deserves death."

The man turned his head toward Tang Shaoyang, his eyes widened in shock before he wriggled hard and yelled at Tang, "It's him! If you want to blame someone, it should be him! If he did not offend the church, the Royal Knight would not chase us!"

The man was screaming hard, but Tang Shaoyang turned toward the old man. He recognized the man, he was one of the villagers, "He's the traitor, he leaked our hiding location to Lord Roman for a few gold coins."

Tang Shaoyang's eyes became increasingly cold as the long lost wide grin formed on his face. He squatted down next to the tied man, "A rat huh!?" He held his cheeks with his right palm, "Death is too light punishment for him, do you think, Chief?"

He stood up while glancing at the old man, "Save him for me, I want to have fun with him later," after saying that, he stepped on the man's stomach.

Kuarghh!

The man groaned in pain, he curled his body with his eyes wide. Tang Shaoyang did not stop there and kicked the man in the face. He made sure to control his strength so the man did not die.

Punches and kicks sent toward the man, the building soon filled with screams and cries. Chief Rick merely watched it from the side, he said nothing of what Tang did to the man. It was full five minutes before he stopped beating the man.

"That's enough for now," Tang Shaoyang turned toward Arina, "Heal him but not a full recovery, just make sure he does not die. I am not done with him."

The man was whimpering in pain, pleading to Tang but it was ignored, "You and your people should leave now, they may send more knights. We can't stay in this village anymore." He spoke to the old man

"I know, we will be leaving after we bury the dead," Chief Rick nodded his head and left the building.

Thirty minutes later, Chief Rick and his villagers went deeper to the Orin Forest. Tang Shaoyang could not follow them, he needed to do something. But Fan Rui, Cao Yuntai, Gu Yingjie, and Liang Suyin followed them.

This was their original plan, escaping to the deeper part of the Orin Forest. Chief Rick seemed to know a secret place for them to hide from the Church. They would go together after Tang Shaoyang back, but because of the traitor who led the Royal Knight to their hiding spot, the bloody battle ensued.

Tang Shaoyang and Arina watched the villagers leave the village. Yes, Arina stayed with him because he needed to resurrect Delia. Chief Rick left his daughter's body to Tang Shaoyang.

"What are you going to do, now? Where are you going to find the remaining sacrifices?" Arina spoke up, the man seemed to have his plan.

"We don't need to look for them, they will come to me on their own," Tang Shaoyang smirked as he turned around toward the entrance.

"What do you mean?" She did not understand what he was talking about. He shrugged, "You will know soon. Rather than that, I haven't heard your reply yet. What do you want in exchange to use the skill for Delia? Do you want me to free our slave bind? I can do that for you."

Once again, Arina immediately fell silent. She did not immediately answer him just like before. He also did not urge her to give her reply now. They walked toward the entrance together without words.

Soon, they reached the entrance of the village. At the entrance, there was a small pyramid made of the Royal Knight's heads. Arina unperturbed by the sight as she followed the man.

"Can you check Deril and Murie's condition for me?" After some time she spoke again, "I heard you're charged for murder because you kill them, but I know you did not kill them, of course. I just want to know their situation."

"That's it? I can do more for you, are you sure about this?" Tang Shaoyang was surprised by the simple request. He looked at Arina oddly, from the moment she decided to offer herself to be a slave and now, she was an odd one for sure.

Arina wanted to say something, but she was hesitating. Tang Shaoyang could tell she had desired something, but she was hesitating to speak.

"Just speak what is your wish, if it's within my capability, I will do everything I can," Tang Shaoyang sat on the crumbled stone wall.

Just as she was about to say something, Tang Shaoyang stopped with a wave of his hand, "Save that for later, our guests have arrived," Arina looked toward the direction where the man looked. A big group of Guardian Knight arrived, their number should be at least a hundred.

Arina then realized the meaning behind his words when he said the sacrifices would come on their own to him. He was intending to use these Guardian Knights for the sacrifices. She had heard how he handled all Royal Knights alone but Guardian Knights were stronger than the Royal Knights.
