CHAPTER 57: [EXTRACTION OF THE DEAD]

The two middle-aged men immediately fled the scene when they heard that Princess Sylvia wasn’t going to let them go.

Not even a second later, the projection was completed, resembling a majestic middle-aged man with a throne on his head. Kai couldn’t see it clearly since the projection wasn’t that obvious to begin with.

Sigh!

The middle-aged man sighed softly and flicked his palm lightly before looking at Kai with interest.

"Not bad!" The middle-aged man nodded as he sized Kai from top to bottom.

He then asked Kai with a smile. "Young man, what’s your name?"

The moment Kai heard the question, he suddenly shuddered as he sensed that the two rich life energies in the distance suddenly dropped at an extreme speed and distinguished, meaning that the two middle-aged men who fled just now had died.

"I’m Kai, your majesty." Kai bowed slightly and put his hand on his chest, showing respect to the emperor from one of the strongest dynasties in the entire world.

"You don’t need to be so formal with me. In fact, you can just call me Uncle Sylas." Emperor Sylas waved his hand dismissively.

Princess Sylvia and the girl were surprised when they heard their father’s words.

However, Kai nodded calmly and asked. "Uncle Sylas, why did you kill them?"

"The situation is quite complicated now, so I can’t tell you since it would take a long time to explain it." Emperor Sylas answered with a smile, as he was surprised that Kai knew he had killed the two men just now.

"Oh, may I have a bold request?" Kai scratched his head with an awkward smile, then continued. "Can I have their corpses? I don’t want the treasures. I just want their dead bodies, that’s all."

Emperor Sylas was silent for a second before extending his hand to his back.

"Sure!" He replied with a smile and opened his palm, then closed it.

Two clean dead bodies, as their heads were severed from the bodies, appeared the moment Emperor Sylas closed his palm.

"Thanks, Uncle Sylas." Kai smiled brightly and cupped his fists.

"You don’t need to thank me for such things." Emperor Sylas smiled and looked at Princess Sylvia. "Can you tell me what happened before I’m gone? This projection wouldn’t last long since I’ve almost exhausted it."

Princess Sylvia immediately explained briefly about how Kai approached him until he showed his class’ information casually.

"Kai, remember to not tell about your situation casually to everyone because the benefits won’t be able to compare with the disaster that might come your way sooner or later." Emperor Sylas reminded Kai and asked. "Who else knows about this?"

"Quite many people if I exclude those that I trust 100%." Kai replied casually.

"..."

Emperor Sylas was speechless when he heard it.

"Kill those people that you’re not 100% sure of." Emperor Sylas said with a serious expression and sighed.

Sigh!

"I know that it would be too ruthless, but the problem might become so big that I’m not confident I could protect you if the news were spread at that time. So, please think about it seriously." Emperor Sylas said with a bitter smile.

"I understand, Uncle Sylas. Thanks for the reminder." Kai nodded and reassured him. "I’ll take care of them after this."

"Good!" Emperor Sylas nodded his head with a smile and said his goodbye. "Let’s meet face-to-face in the future, my new nephew."

"Sure." Kai replied with a smile.

As the projection slowly dissipated, Emperor Sylas looked at the tiger on Kai’s shoulder as he mumbled softly that he was the only one who could hear it.

After the projection was gone, the girl beside Princess Sylvia sighed before looking at Kai with a cute, angry expression. "You! Why didn’t you say that you’re ’that person’ before?"

She was angry because the outcome was obvious since Kai had killed a 2nd Echelon Rank Beast when he was still an Unranked Rank, and now that he had advanced to the 1st Echelon Rank, why would she bother herself to fight against such a monster?

However, she suddenly felt relieved after thinking that her opponent was Kai because everyone else would’ve ended up the same if they sparred against him.

Kai only smiled and ignored her before looking at Princess Sylvia. "What about the healing treasure?"

"Don’t worry, I’ve already asked my subordinates to send over the treasure." Princess Sylvia replied with a smile as her eyes narrowed down below the mask.

"By the way, what do you want to do with them?" Princess Sylvia asked, looking at the corpses on the ground a few meters away from them.

"It’s a secret." Kai answered with a smile, then waved his hand casually. "Take their treasures, I only want their corpses, as I said."

’Please say that their treasures are mine too since.’ Kai prayed in his heart, hoping that Princess Sylvia wouldn’t fancy their treasures.

"You can have their treasures too if you want." Princess Sylvia shook his head with a smile.

"Since he said he only wanted the corpses, let me own these ownerless treasures." The girl giggled as she walked toward the corpse happily, thinking that Kai only wanted the corpses anyway.

"Who said these are ownerless? I want them!" Kai instantly appeared beside the corpses and took their storage rings and equipment.

After only leaving their clothes, Kai tried to put the corpses inside his Undead Space, and it worked. Well, even if it doesn’t work, he could still put them in the storage ring anyway.

Looking at her younger sister stomping her foot and angrily coming to her side, Princess Sylvia shook her head helplessly and patted her head softly. "Luna, they’re his to begin with."

Luna only snorted and puffed her cheek cutely in response.

"When is the treasure going to be delivered?" Kai asked Princess Sylvia.

"Probably in an hour or so, why?" Princess Sylvia replied.

"Oh, are you going to attend the auction? If so, I’m going back first to settle some things and will be back again after I’m done." Kai looked at Princess Sylvia as he narrowed his eyes, thinking about what he would do after he logged out.

"Yeah... So, you can actually just come back whenever you want, at least before the auction ends." Princess Sylvia nodded with a smile.

"Alright then, it’s settled." Kai nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, Princesses Sylvia and Luna came back to the previous restaurant while Kai stood there for a few seconds before summoning the fire lion and going back toward Dawn City.

However, this time Kai wanted to find an inn since he couldn’t casually just leave the tiger outside the city.

After going to the best inn in the city and booking the best room, Kai took out one of the corpses and placed it in front of them.

[Ding! Extraction of the Dead can be used on this target.]

Kai was actually surprised the moment he saw the corpses because he heard this notification before.

If Kai were to have his previous [Extraction of the Dead] skill, he wouldn’t be able to extract a corpse that had this many differences in ranks.

That’s why he was surprised when he heard the notification, as his original intention was to preserve the corpse, and he would extract it in the future after he had become strong enough to be able to extract it.

Kai hoped that he would be able to extract their best skills or class, because he would then be able to extract them from him and give them to his subordinates or his family.

Now that he had a chance to be able to get a high-rank skill or class, Kai couldn’t help but become happy as he thought that his 9-Petal Lotus Gem finally would be able to show its wonder.

Even though the 9-Petal Lotus Gem was actually an extremely precious treasure, Kai didn’t care that much, as he had no use for this item before.

That’s why he had never thought about it seriously and just put it aside until a time like this had come. Fortunately, he didn’t need to wait for too long.

Let alone the fact that the 9-Petal Lotus Gem was at its best quality because it was still intact and hadn’t been used before.

9-Petal Lotus Gem was a treasure that could be used as a place to extract a class or skill that could be passed on to the others and could only be used according to how many petals it had.

The 9-Petal Lotus Gem that Kai obtained in his previous life actually only had three more times left to use since the other six petals had dimmed.

Even with only three petals left, a treasure of this caliber still could be considered extremely precious. Let alone the one that he obtained contained something in it.

This was the reason why he was surrounded by those bastards in his previous life.

So, if the news was leaked about the fact that he had a 9-petal Lotus Gem that had never been used, he was sure that those top factions would definitely make their move since they could use this to pass their inheritance and treasure, like this was really hard to get by.

"Why are you smiling crazily like that?" Elias couldn’t help but ask Kai when he saw that Kai was acting weirdly while looking at the corpse in front of him.

"Hmmph! What do you know?" Kai snorted and ignored him as he looked at the corpse while praying in his heart.

[Ding! Do you want to use the [Extraction of the Dead] skill on the corpse in front of you?]

"Yes!"
