Chapter 88 Tentacles
Aldred coughed and cleared his throat. “Sure,” He moved one of his six tentacles on his head, and let Mareona touch it.
Mareona touched the tentacle, and it felt squishy. “It’s so soft.” She rubbed the tentacle with her hand, before trying to rub it with her face. “It feels so nice too!”
Mary wanted to try it as well. So she asked Aldred for a tentacle, and she rubbed it around. Mira and Sophia followed. Aldred gave the four of them his tentacles to feel around.
“I cannot believe this soft squishy tentacle can cut a human with rare quality armor in half,” Mareona said, kissing the tentacles. She then hugged it with a smile and rubbed her face with it.
After seeing her being so comfortable, Mary and the other girls followed. They all hugged his tentacles and rubbed them around.
“Emmm, guys. I have something to tell you. The tentacles are actually its reproductive organ.”
“…”
Aldred blushed.
They then slowly got off the tentacles. Except for Sophia. She was closing her eyes and continuously rubbing the tentacle.
“Sophia, get off that thing,” Mareona said.
“Eh, why?”
“What do you mean why?”
“I like Aldred’s tentacle. I am staying here.” 𝘪𝘦.𝘤𝑜
Mareona walked to her and pulled her away, but she held on tight.
“No! This is my tentacle! Don’t take it away from me.”
“It’s not something you should be hugging, kissing, and rubbing.”
“Why not. Look, it’s very soft and squishy.” She rubbed it some more.
Spurt!
White liquid came at the tip of the tentacle.
Aldred looked down. His demonic cheeks turned red.
Sophia paused. “Right, it’s not something I should rub.” She got off the tentacle.
Maverick and the onlookers were dumbfounded.
‘What the hell are we watching right now…’
Aldred cleared his throat. He transformed back to his human form.
Maverick also cleared his throat and pretended the scene earlier never happened. “About the head…”
“I think we can work on something,” Aldred said.
“Do you also need the head?” Maverick asked.
“It’s not that. Just watch.” He stepped on the beast’s corpse. “Arise.”
Black mist engulfed the beast whole. The mist enlarged and then a claw stepped out, creating a cut mark on the ground due to how sharp it was.
The demonic face came. Its yellow eyes seemingly stare at the soul of anyone who set their eyes upon them. Purple glowing lines ran around the body.
Compared to the real Phantom Claw, the undead version looked so much more menacing.
The onlookers trembled even though they were a distance away. The Phantom Claw then bowed its head. “Master,”
“Eh, you can talk?” He looked at Nicky. “You’re a beast the same as him, why can’t you talk?”
“Hiss (I don’t know, master).”
“Is it because he is stronger?” Aldred wondered. The Phantom Claw didn’t seem to be much stronger than Nicky. In fact, he believed that Nicky could defeat the beast if given enough time.
Maverick was staring frozen at the beast so close in front of him. This beast almost killed him, and he was relieved it died, but now it returned to life again.
“Don’t be scared. This Phantom Claw is my undead now.”
Maverick hesitantly nodded.
Aldred looked at the Phantom Claw. “From now on your name is Will, the beast slapper.”
The beast bowed deeper. “This Will shall be your servant.”
“Turn to your real form.”
The beast transformed into his real form. The misty air and the purple glowing lines disappeared.
Aldred walked to the monster’s neck and aimed his staff. “Concentrated Jet Flame.” Condensed high-pressure flames shot like a laser beam from the staff. 𝑖𝘳.𝒸ℴ𝑚
It cut off the neck, and the head fell.
Maverick gasped, and so did everyone else. Did the boy just cut off the beast’s head? Just like that?
“You can take the head,” Aldred said before he summoned the monster again. The body then morphed into black mist before it regenerated a head, and turned into an undead form Phantom Claw.
Maverick trembled when he saw the glowing yellow eyes on the cut-off head. “T—thank you.”
‘So the boy could revive his undead… what a terrifying power.’
“No worries. You helped a lot in killing this guy.”
Maverick laughed at himself. “Without you, not only would we fail to kill it, all of us would die as well.”
“You’re exaggerating my skill.”
‘Exaggerating my ass! You literally turn a Phantom Claw into your undead. If anything, my compliment is an understatement.’
Maverick sighed. Thankfully he secured Aldred as his allies. After this he might ask him to visit his father and befriend him. Aldred had a powerful necromancy ability and mastery in the fire elements.
Not to mention he was still a child. A child Gold rank with an army of undead… wasn’t this person more valuable than the treasure itself. In the future, Aldred would surely become an Adamantite Rank.
He reached out his hand and tapped Aldred on the shoulder. “If you need anything just tell me. I can give you gold, rare equipment. Just say it, and I will order someone to get it.”
“Can I get a palace full of women?”
Mareona knocked his head. “Why don’t you see your head first? It’s filled with dirty stuff all the time.”
Aldred rubbed his head and pouted. “I was joking.”
“Let’s get some rest. We have to start climbing tomorrow. The faster we got the astrolabe, the better.” Bartrem walked to his warm bath.
“We should set up the tent over the bath. That way nobody can see us sleeping,” Aldred said. “And it would be warmer that way.”
“Use the bottle tent that you got earlier,” Mareona said.
Aldred pulled out the portable traveling tent which was currently in the shape of a green bottle. He threw them near the bath, and it transformed into a tent that covered the hot bath.
So now, he could enter the bath, and be protected by the tents. He gave the rest of the bottle to Bartrem for him to distribute.
Mareona pulled his hand. “Let’s get in.”
