Chapter 158: Rescue Operation (4)
Karnak peeked through the left-side door of the underground chapel, surveying the aftermath.
“That was a beautiful explosion."
Serati looked at him in exasperation. "Did you kill him just for this?"
"Yeah. You need a corpse to use Corpse Explosion."
Karnak wasn't the type to derive pleasure from killing. He didn't take lives unnecessarily. It was just that his definition of necessary was significantly broader than most.
“I mean, it’s not like there aren’t ways to make someone self-destruct while they’re still alive...”
But the resulting explosion was too weak to be worth the effort.
"Besides, I am trying to live somewhat humanely. Isn't it more inhumane to make someone explode while they're still alive?"
"I mean, I guess?"
The fact that suicide bombing was the only method he had considered was, in itself, deeply inhumane. But Serati chose to let it slide. Regardless, it seemed that, despite appearances, Sores had been a fairly competent necromancer. The force of the explosion had thrown the area around the altar into utter chaos.
"Wh-who did this?!"
"Stay alert! Search every direction!"
