Chapter 2705 Union with Leger
Looking at himself in shock, Brendan ignored Minos'' group for a moment, enjoying some of the freedom of thought that Abby allowed her corpses to have.
But being totally under her control, he couldn''t do anything against Abby or her interests. He could think freely, but his actions were totally restricted to what she allowed him.
After inhaling the air into his lungs in this world again, he felt strange, a little angry with Leger, but also understanding. He had been murdered, but truth be told, in the situation he had been in before his death, dying had been a good thing. The action of murdering him had freed him from pain and a lot of future humiliation.
"Who would know? I''m even stronger now than when I was alive." Heughed bitterly, feeling funny about life''s ironies.
Minos looked at the octopus-bodied individual, letting him understand what had happened for a minute. But being in a dangerous ce, the guy with the long white hair interrupted Brendan''s contemtion.
"What happened?"
Brendan identified Minos, not having thought before that he would see this person in such a way. But he wasn''t surprised by this person''s group, nor by Abby''s powers. He had heard some rumors about them.
Leger, of course, had investigated Minos and his group and discovered several things. As these natives of the Spiritual World had been active in the war against Firestone Mines, there was a lot of information avable about them in Oqia.
After sighing, Brendan told of hisst moments alive on this continent. "After arriving in Uzira, we were forced to split up because of an attack by a local beast. More than half of those who survived the Violent Sea fell to that damned creature.
But when some of us escaped and thought we could reunite and wait for your group, someone else found us. A creature called Jalgon. He was hunting Leger nearby.
He spotted the boss'' aura nearby and then kidnapped one of mypanions and me. I don''t know how my oldpanion spent hisst moments. But I was tortured and forced to tell everything I knew. That is until Jalgon left and Leger found me.
I was killed by Leger and probably buried in this ce."
"Leger?" Gloria looked at herpanions before asking Brendan. "Why would he kill one of his subordinates?"
Minos narrowed his eyes as he understood what had happened even before the octopus exined.
"I betrayed him. I told Jalgon about him. I told the enemy about you, too. Then, Leger found me tied to that tree behind me, when I was crippled, totally devastated. He killed me to punish me, but he also killed me to rid me of the terror I''d experienced for months."
"You don''t seem to be angry with him." Ruthmented, curious.
"I certainly do, or rather, I did. After all, I suffered what I suffered because of Leger''s crimes." Brendan spoke as he transformed into a humanoid version.
Unlike Wenni and Walkas, who were far superior to Abby and even with the ck liquid wouldn''tst long, Brendan could easilyst two whole years in his condition, even without the use of the ck liquid.
Minos and the others were in no hurry to question him, asking only the questions necessary for them to understand what had happened to the group.
"So," Minos changed the pace of the conversation, saying, "Apart from you and thepanion who died nearby, only Leger survived?"
"I''m not sure about that. Four of us survived the white worm. But only Wimarc and I fell into the hands of the cruel Jalgon. N?v(el)B\\jnn
The day I was killed, only Leger showed himself to me, so I imagine that Iohn is either dead or hiding in another part of the forest. No one but them remains of our crew.
The journey across the Violent Sea was disastrous. Most of our group perished during a storm..." He said in a heavy tone, remembering their journey. Looking at therge group of Minos, he asked. "But you don''t seem to know what I''m talking about. Did you happen to have any casualties?"
"No. We all survived the journey." Abby replied to her subordinate.
This was shocking for Brendan, but without any knowledge of the Nautilus'' Compass, he imagined that this was because of the impressive formation of this group. He could clearly feel the cultivation levels of each of them and was surprised by the number of Supremes around him.
In particr, feeling the power of Tiolos, who had only just been promoted to level 116 less than a decade ago, he couldn''t help but be shocked.
"I''m really unlucky to have been part of his group and not yours, Master," he said to Abby with a smile on his face.
"Don''t call me that. It sounds really strange." Abby corrected him. "Call me ma''am."
He nodded at her before turning his gaze to Minos. "Are you going in search of Leger? Aren''t you afraid of having Jalgon against you? He''s a powerful level 119 Supreme."
"We know who he is. We killed Jalgon before we came looking for you and Leger." Minos revealed as the corpse surrounded by his group widened his eyes in surprise.
After a moment of shock, Brendan shaped a wide smile on his lips, until he burst outughing with joy. He hadn''t imagined that he would hear about his captor''s death!
"Hahahahaha, he deserved it! That wretch ate over 40% of my body while he was torturing me!" he said out loud amidst his strangeughter.
Minos understood the creature''s feelings and wasn''t bothered by the creature''s loud voice andughter. But he didn''t allow it for long. "Now, Brendan, do you know how to get to Leger? We have a deal to keep and whether you like it, he knows this area better than any of us. Hence, we need him."
"About that, I couldn''t find him before, but if he''s taken my belongings, then I can track down one of my ancient artifacts." He showed one of his fingers to Minos and the others in the vicinity, revealing a hand without any spatial storage items, something unusual for such a strong cultivator.
