Chapter 191: The problem with the corpse
Sure, Dante's goal for the kid was to train him into a loyal warrior, but to do that didn't mean he had to break him.
Even if that was an effective method, Dante refused to use it
His conscious refused for him to use such twisted techniques, at least not on a child
As For his enemies…. That would have to be a matter that he would have to consider in the future Suddenly Dante frowned.
Something was off.
With this feeling, Dante closed his eyes and stretched out his mental strength .
In the fires some distance away, Dante found a blood red pair of eyes watching them
'Found you.'
His figure flashed by as he appeared metres away from his original location, standing right in front of the creature.
The creatures sensed something was off and quickly tried too scramble away But this didn't last long as a strong arm shot out clutching the creatures by the throat
"Hasn't someone ever told you it's not nice to stalk people, Sir corpse Master"
Soon, a familiar hoarse voice sounded out.
"Dragon Son, I'm warning you. Stay away from things that don't involve you."
As The corpse master spoke, a wide smile appeared on Dante's face
"And I already told replied Dante "To instruct others, you must also make sure you have the strength to speak first!"
Dante didn't bother speaking much with the corpse Master and quickly brought out a pair of ropes and blindfolds These were some equipment given specifically by the Hidden Dragon Academy to restrain rouge cultivators.
With such restrictions placed on It was impossible for a mere corpse to be able to break free.
After fully restricting the zombie, Dante then flew back towards the village.
Upon his return, he was greeted with the sight of Clay and Rebecca waiting for him in the centre of the village
Clay appeared to be much better than when he last saw him His eyes were still red, His hair was still messy but at least his state now appeared to be unstable "So Dante, where did you even go?" Asked Rebecca "Me?" Said Dante with a smirk "I just went to deal with some creeping mice"
As Dante spoke, he threw the now bound zombie to the ground.
"So why did you even bother to catch this one?" Asked Rebecca " I brought it as a gift for you of course!"
Hearing this, a strange expression broke onto Rebecca's face
Was this one of the boys' stupid little pranks, but it wasn't long before her question was answered? "We need to know more about this mysterious Corpse Master and what better way than to start with his favourite toy, His zombies"
Out of everyone here, you are the most experienced cultivator. I thought if anyone would be able to spot the strange things and weaknesses about these zombies, then it would be you."
At first Rebecca was stunned, before she looked towards Dante. "Sigh!"
Since I'm the only one you can rely on, I guess I have no choice."
From the way things were going, she really had no other choice than to accept Dante's offer. She was the only one he could rely on right not. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
But before she accepted, she had some things.
"But let me warn you now" added Rebecca "I only covered a short term on undead creatures techniques in the earlier years of my study at the Hidden Dragon Academy.
That was a long time ago now. In addition to this, my level of knowledge in this field is very shallow, so if I miss anything, you can't blame me."
Hearing this, a bright smile broke out onto Dante's face "Perfect! I couldn't have asked for anything more."
As Dante was speaking, he grabbed Rebecca's hand in thanks
"This is why I can always rely on you, Rebecca."
As soon as he did this, Rebecca's cheeks flushed a light colour of pink.
"You stinky little boy! Don't get ahead of yourself."
Without saying anymore, Rebbeca swiftly grabbed the zombie corose and flashed inside the nearest house, slamming the door behind her
"Bang!"
Dante was just left watching on with an awkward expression.
Seeing this sight, Clay couldn't help but come and pat him on the back.
"At least you tried, right?"
"Ha…" hearing this, Dante couldn't help but laugh awkwardly At leat he tried…
…
An hour later Rebecca could be seen walking out of the building, but this time the happy aura from before had completely vanished She chucked the brutally dismembered corpse before Dante's feet.
After seeing such a sight, Clay couldn't remain calm, his face turning white as he wretched in disgust.
Even Dante was slightly affected at the grim sight of the gruesome corpse as a dark frown appeared on his face.
Rebecca didn't seem to be doing much better either, as an ugly frown could be seen on her face.
Sighing, she then removed her gloves that were now stained in the colour of black, rotting blood.
Seeing such a grim appearance, Dante couldn't help but ask.
"So how did it go?"
"Bad" responded Rebecca "Extremely bad."
"How so?" asked a puzzled Dante.
"Dante. Corpse refining techniques may seem esoteric and strange, but when you break it down, the basics are pretty simple."
"To refine a corpse, A cultivator selects an appropriate corpse and with the correct location, environment and selected treasures refines a corpse that they are able to control."
Hearing this, Dante nodded.
His light knowledge on corpse refining aligned with everything Rebbeca just said.
"In a way, refining corpses is not unlike refining weapons. Engravings and rituals are cast, with the corpse master eventually planting his spirit mark on it. Much like how a cultivator marks their spirit weapons."explained Rebecca "The problems comes with this corpse.
There are no signs of refining or any copse strengthening taking place on this body.
If I didn't know better, I would think it's the regular body of a human male.
