Chapter 256: Angel of Radiant Wings (5)
Emil Strauss had vanished. Whether he was dead or still alive, no one could say.Karnak realized something. "No matter which it is, things are going to take a rather strange turn."
If Emil had died, then someone must have taken his corpse. The reason for that wasn’t hard to guess. While not as valuable as Martial King Gellard’s body, Emil Strauss’s corpse still held considerable potential. It could be resurrected as a death knight or, even if not that, turned into a powerful undead.
"Sure, there’s reason enough to take the body..." Karnak glanced around and raised a brow. "But in this situation?"
Everyone had been near, including Future Leven, Karnak, Varos, and the other powerful aura users.
Karnak posed a question. "Are we really supposed to believe someone slipped past all of us, snuck in here, and made off with an entire person, not some small object, without any of us noticing? Does that make any sense?"
Varos nodded as if it did. "Well, it was chaos. Honestly, none of us had the attention to spare to keep track of who was coming and going."
"True, we were so focused on the battle that we might’ve missed it," Karnak agreed.
Indeed, their lives had been hanging by a thread. None of them had the luxury to watch their surroundings. So perhaps it wasn’t impossible that someone had crept up unnoticed, like a rat in the shadows.
There was yet another question that lingered. Karnak voiced it. "Still, that would mean whoever took Emil’s body carried him out right in the middle of this bloody chaos. Since when did the Cult of the Black God have such bold and heroic agents?"
Varos agreed. "That part is strange, I admit."
Then could it be that Emil had survived, and simply left on his own?
