Chapter 102: Entity
Vacuse could feel a cold sensation slide down his stomach as he heard that. "What do you mean, Jellyfish?"
"Jellyfish?" He laughed. "I like that!"
"Let me explain what I mean. Initially, the boss wanted us to bring you back alive, but that’s only because the profit on bringing you back is much more than bringing you back dead.
"In fact, the money difference is like night and day, but since there’s a way to bring you back dead, as long as we preserve your body with our special methods, we can also use that option."
"But see what you did to poor Serenthar! All that constructs, all that gold coins! All gone in the blink of an eye. What’s worse, the High Commander of Standpoint took all the remains of the construct, and we can’t even sell it for scraps!"
"So you see, my dear Vacuse. You have cost us as much as bringing you back alive would cost. So, you have already been termed a failed transaction.
"I don’t need you back alive!"
Vacuse felt a chill down his spine, and he immediately asked, "What did you do?"
The Jellyfish bowed. "Those monsters that you killed are vicious indeed, but they have no hope of ever defeating you. What’s curious about their blood, though, is that it contains eternal hunger that can awaken the bloodlust of many slumbering monsters."
Vacuse’s eyes widened as he immediately came to an understanding. He turned around and shouted, "We need to get out of here now!"
Captain Mera was only a beat behind him, and she immediately shouted, "Fall back! Fall back!"
Jellyfish laughed and laughed. "My illusion is the greatest! I can even mimic sound and smell! I am going to take your body back, Vacuse Vorrakyn!"
