Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1259

"How dare you defy us? You're playing with fire!"

The Underworld Reaper dressed in black was infuriated. His scarlet tongue snaked out of his mouth, and to Jenifer's horror, flew straight at her. Before she could even process what was happening, his tongue was wrapped around her neck.

"Ah..."

Jenifer's hands flew to her neck, and she struggled to dislodge the tongue so that she could breathe. Simultaneously, she wanted to retch. The disgustingly slimy tongue wrapped around her neck, left her feeling sick to her stomach.

The Underworld Reaper in black used his strength to dangle her mid-air before releasing her abruptly. She fell to the ground, breaking her leg bones.

"Going forward, you'd better behave yourself, or I'll give you a hard time," the Underworld Reaper snapped.

He then threw an iron chain and hooked it to her collarbones.

Jenifer had lost all her god's power, and the sharp pain from her broken legs sapped her of her strength. She could only cry in silence.

The two Underworld Reapers continued to move forward, dragging Jenifer and the other two along.

On the way, all kinds of pitiful wails and cries could be heard. Jenifer trembled as she staggered along.

After a long time, the group reached a bridge, which crossed over a blood river. The Underworld Reapers stopped in front of it.

"Your Grace, we've been ordered to bring these people back. Please allow us to borrow your bridge. Thank you."

The Underworld Reapers knelt and kowtowed three times. They murmured some incantations before continuing forward onto the bridge.

In front, the dim blue light became thicker and thicker, and a house made of paper stood not far away.

Jenifer and the other two were dragged into the house.

By now, the combination of fear and agony caused Jenifer almost to lose consciousness.

Donovan also appeared half-unconscious. He, too, was suffering and crying. The Rule Soul Avatar remained motionless as if he were a corpse.

"Your Majesty, here they are," the Underworld Reapers reported.

In the dark hall sat a middle-aged man in a black official cap and uniform.

"Good job. Go and get your reward."

"My pleasure, Your Majesty."

Then the Underworld Reapers left. The middle-aged man stood, approached the three prisoners, and walked around them. He was inspecting them.

"I didn't expect that I, the Reincarnation Emperor, would get such a good deal," he said with a sinister smile.

"It's a pity that this one's eyes exploded. Edmond is really annoying!" he murmured.

"Guards, send these two to hell."

The Reincarnation Emperor ordered his guards to take the Rule Soul Avatar and Jenifer away but leaving Donovan with him.

"Reincarnation Emperor, are you sure this is the son of a supreme god?"

A man in armor wielding a long spear stepped out of the dark.

"Of course, I am sure. How can anything in this world escape me?" said the Reincarnation Emperor, holding his head high.

"Right. Although you don't have any other talent, you're quite good at eavesdropping others' inner thoughts. I admire your skill," the man teased.

"Show some respect to your elder, Homer Huang. You are becoming more and more insolent. How can you talk to me like that?" The Reincarnation Emperor was displeased.

"You forget that I was promoted to an emperor position three months ago. We're on the same level now. I don't have to use honorifics with you," Homer Huang sneered.

"How ungrateful! If I hadn't cultivated you, you would not have become an emperor. Remember that I can destroy you just as I cultivated you. Behave yourself," the Reincarnation Emperor warned.

"Ha-ha. I'm just joking, My Lord. Don't take my playfulness so seriously. Let's get down to business. When are you going to hand him over to Lord Yama? And what are you going to do with the other two?" asked Homer Huang.

"The last day of each month is the eating day here. That day, we can eat anything we can get without being punished. But you are lucky. The last eating day was the day before yesterday. So, you still have about twenty-eight days to live," the boy explained as he licked his lips and smiled.

"Go away,"

Jenifer exclaimed, pretending to be angry. But inwardly, she was panicked.

"You misunderstood me. As we are humans, we won't eat our kind. You need to worry about those beasts," the boy continued, pointing at the other races not far away.

Among them, there were members of the fiend race, the Shura race, the beasts, and every other race that people could think of.

"If that's the case, you should worry about yourself, not me," Jenifer contradicted coldly.

"I'm fine. I happen to have a piece of Divine Essence Stone. It is enough for me to restore my strength for an hour. Nobody dares to hurt me," the boy said with a smile as he waved the transparent stone in his hand.

Jenifer stared at the stone, and the impulse to grab it coursed through her.

"Don't get any bad ideas. You can't take it away." The boy seemed to have read Jenifer's mind.

"How about your cultivation base? Which realm are you in now?" Jenifer then asked.

On second thought, she gave up that idea. Now that the boy had dared to flaunt his Divine Essence Stone and the others showed no sign of stealing it from him, he must be more powerful than she estimated. Thus, she decided to try something else.

"It's not much. I'm at the top-level of the Domain God Realm. It's not very high, but it is enough for me to protect myself," the boy replied.

"Would you please do me a favor?" After thinking for a while, she looked at the boy earnestly.

"No, I won't protect anyone." The boy was certain that this beautiful woman sought protection. He had met a lot of people like her.

Jenifer felt a bit disappointed.

After a moment of silence, she pointed at the Rule Soul Avatar and said to the boy, "I don't need your protection, but I want you to help him. If you agree, I will give you the Celestial God Realm cultivation method and a piece of high-level divine weapon. In fact, I will give you whatever I own as long as you promise to protect him."
