King of Bone Biting wants you to do what?

Slay a god?_2

“Ah, women.”

Murphy commented with extreme helplessness:

“Even though she agreed willingly, she turned her face as soon as she got up in the morning and declared there will never be a next time, acting like a little girl throwing a tantrum.

She’s almost five hundred years old, how can she be like this in this aspect?

Never mind that, let’s talk about your problem.

You said you saw the King of Bone Biting last night?

Describe the scene in detail, and let me take a look at its skull.”

“Ao.”

Hog hurriedly handed over the skull of the King of Bone Biting, and described the scene of his conversation with the King of Bone Biting last night in great detail.

As Murphy listened, he activated Item Identification with the skull in his hand and was shocked to find that the entry for this thing was indeed subtly different from before:

Name: Remnant of the King of Bone Biting · The Head of Felix

Quality: Collectible/Crafting Material

Special Status: Transcendent · Will Connection Point

Item Description:

[This head hides something not of this world, but it clearly does not wish to open for you…]

“Hmm…”

Murphy furrowed his brow and gave the skull of the King of Bone Biting back to Hog, saying to the Blood Claw Chief who looked worried and annoyed:

“Are you sure you didn’t remember wrong?

Did Felix really tell you that it left its name in the creator’s ‘ledger’?”

“Uh-huh, I’m sure of it.”

Hog nodded vigorously and said:

“It also mentioned it was only one step away from truly transcending and becoming holy, but it’s hard to explain its current state.

I reckon even it doesn’t understand why after being dead for over a hundred years, it can still maintain its soul and consciousness.

Isn’t it said that after we Wolf People die, our souls will enter the Netherworld?”

“I don’t know much about this.”

Murphy stroked his chin, trying to come up with a reasonable explanation, but a few seconds later, a cold voice rang in his ear:

“That is a typical ‘Living Holy Spirit’ status!

In various belief churches across the Continent, it’s recorded that when a sincere believer dies after having contact with some sacred artifacts, their souls wouldn’t enter the Netherworld but would exist in a special state within certain objects or scenes.

The most classic example is in the sacred land of the Avalon Church on Gram Island, there exists a ‘Pool of the Past Twilight’.

It’s said that called believers who meditate in the pool can communicate with the ancient natural Sages.

But the state of a Living Holy Spirit won’t last forever.

Their spiritual matter will dissipate over time, with the longest known Living Holy Spirit being from the Winter Wolf Religion, a priestess of winter.

She died in battle while following the Hero King to conquer the Great Wilderness, and was endowed with power by Su to wander in the winds of the Great Wilderness.

No one can be sure if she still exists, but there are recent folklore accounts of her sightings in the blizzard, coming to the aid of those stranded.

The King of Bone Biting is clearly in that state.

Perhaps because it touched the mysterious power of the creator before death, but obviously, that cunning individual didn’t tell Hog everything, and its current state can’t force Hog to help it accomplish certain things.

Theoretically, as long as Hog ignores it, the King of Bone Biting can’t affect him.

As long as the Blood Claw Chief can withstand the agony of prolonged insomnia, he needn’t take on the heavy duty of ‘Deicide’.”

“Sigh, I knew it, I can’t do without your help.”

Murphy responded softly:

“Thanks for the explanation, Triss, are you okay?”

“Shut up!

I’m angry right now, don’t come to me these days!”

The Blood Vulture Duke scolded, and Murphy sighed again, saying:

“If it’s about what happened last night, I just want to tell you that there’s no need to be like this, love can tempt you to do things out of character.

It’s just emotions going there, it’s not your fault.”

“Shut up!

Murphy, don’t make me recall those embarrassing scenes again, I must have been seduced by some filthy things last night, I shouldn’t have agreed to visit that private bath with you, you mustn’t say another word!

You annoying ghost!

Now I need to go brush my teeth…

damn it!”

Triss’ voice rose a few notches, then she completely cut off the quantum communication channel that had been bound to their armors, leaving Murphy once again helpless.

He looked up at Hog and said:

“Lady Cui Si just told me that the King of Bone Biting may be in some quite special Spiritual Body state, but it has no binding power over you, Hog, so the best way is to refuse this task.

Don’t be scared by the King of Bone Biting, besides nagging in your ear, it doesn’t have any other way to interfere with you.”

“Oh, is that so?”

The moment Hog heard this suggestion, he immediately perked up.

What he feared most was being pushed by some strange power of the King of Bone Biting into a predicament where he had to do something.

Knowing that the choice was still in his hands, the cunning Jackal Tribe Chief instantly felt emboldened.

It quickly thought of another matter and said to Murphy:

“The King of Bone Biting told me our Master of Hunting has been contaminated and is sure to be born in this Black Disaster; that is the god of all Wolf People.

So, if it truly comes to exist and drags Wolf People into the abyss, does that mean my Bloodclaw Clan will also…”

“You likely won’t escape it.”

Murphy said with a frown:

“Vampires don’t have their own gods, so I can’t confirm whether you’d be implicated because of a fallen god, but it isn’t hard to see the connections if we compare with the example of Avalon.
