Chapter 468: Chapter 281: Black Bone, Hard Bone, and Soft Bone (Double-Length)

The silhouette of the ominous monster, standing behind the woman in the black robe, exuded a sense of danger.

On the surface of the sea, the Black Bone Sea Monster confronted them.

The head in the middle remained expressionless, its eyes coldly fixed on Sharo, seemingly unfazed.

However, the heads on the left and right opened and closed their mouths, their eyes also emitting an unkind glow.

...

"Oh no, oh no, the warning was a bit too much, this human woman doesn’t seem to be buying it. I told you not to do this, why don’t we just apologize..."

"Bullshit! What are you afraid of? Just kill her already, there’s no point in talking to her. This damned human woman never intended to have a proper talk with us!"

"No, absolutely not. If we get rid of this human woman, the Master of the Black Tide will definitely not let us go. Be rational, we need to be rational..."

"Rational my ass! I say Soft Bone, is your brain broken? Didn’t you hear what this human woman just said? Submit! It’s submission! We are spirits of Faith! Once we submit, it means we are at the mercy of others!"

"Listen to me, Black Bone, kill!"

"Don’t listen to him, Black Bone, you must not act recklessly..."

The two serpent heads on either side endlessly debated.

Listening to the never-ending argument of the heads on either side, Black Bone felt like its head might explode.

However, it had long been accustomed to such situations.

It had three heads, named Black Bone, Hard Bone, and Soft Bone respectively.

Soft Bone was the left head, in charge of using the Secret Techniques of this body. It had a relatively gentle yet weak personality, and acted very cautiously.

Hard Bone was the right head, in charge of the physical body and the bloodline power, with a rather irritable and aggressive disposition.

And naturally, Black Bone was the middle head and the head that usually controlled its actions. It was also the undisputed decision-maker among the three heads.

In the midst of the two heads’ argument, Black Bone slowly spoke, breaking the silent atmosphere between the two sides, while deliberately avoiding addressing Sharo’s question.

Of course, it used a technique similar to the Voice of the Mind.

"...As His emissary, you should know that for beings like us, submission... means something."

After speaking, Black Bone fixed its gaze tightly on Sharo.

Upon hearing this, Sharo smiled slightly. The words of the Black Bone Sea Monster had already indicated its stance—submission was not impossible, but it needed to be negotiated properly.

In other words, it required some conditions or, perhaps, some benefits.

However, even understanding this, Sharo had no intention of discussing these rather secretive matters in front of its subordinates.

Since the Black Bone Sea Monster had relaxed its stance, her mission was complete.

The rest would be left to the Master of the Black Tide.

Sharo slowly raised her hand, and the black tentacle on her shoulder merged with the black tide below, transforming into a massive tentacle that slowly extended towards the Black Bone Sea Monster.

"Perhaps you might want to have a talk with my master."

"Touch it, and you can meet the Master of the Black Tide."

To be honest, Sharo had not expected the infamous Black Bone Sea Monster before her to only have the strength of the Deputy Tier.

She had initially thought that the Black Bone Sea Monster might be a being of the Angel Tier and had even prepared to seek help from the Master of the Black Tide.

But the truth was unexpected. With the black robe bestowed by the Master of the Black Tide, she might not defeat it, but she could at least hold a stalemate.

Although such a Black Bone Sea Monster was by no means weak, it was, after all, a noteworthy faith. Among the spirits of Faith, it indeed had little prestige.

However, this precisely explained why its reputation gradually faded after the emergence of the Black Tide Secret Society... because its strength was inherently insufficient.

With those words from Sharo.

The two heads of Black Bone naturally began a new round of arguing.

"Arrogant! They’re so arrogant! It’s just a newly risen spirit of Faith, and they already think they’re somebody big? Acting superior in front of us!"

"Don’t go. In my opinion, it’s better to just start a war with them, and if we can’t win, we can always flee far away!"

Hard Bone was still irascible and was very dissatisfied with Sharo’s choice of words.

However, Soft Bone saw things much more clearly and sighed with a sense of resignation.

"Ah, there’s nothing we can do, we’ve been stagnant for so long that we’re nearly out of believers..."

"Besides, we have important business to take care of here."

"My suggestion is still to go and take a look and talk to Him. After all, He has just risen, so His power shouldn’t be too strong. If there’s any danger, at worst, we’ll just lose a Death Replacement Bone..."

The opinions of both the heads were taken in by Black Bone, which silently pondered over them.

After a moment, it slowly lifted its forelimb.

"Damn it, Black Bone, you fool, you never listen to me!"

Hard Bone was extremely displeased.

"If we listened to you, we wouldn’t have survived this long..."

Soft Bone sighed and shook its head.

As the Black Bone Sea Monster made contact with the black tentacle.

The black tide began to slowly spread, eventually enveloping the Black Bone Sea Monster gradually.

In an instant, black smoke rose, and the area around the Black Bone Sea Monster became a blur.

After seeing this, Sharo finally shifted her gaze away and turned to give the order.

"Pack up and prepare to depart."

...

In the pitch-black, cold, and mysterious dark territory.

Within the sunless space, an ominous silence pervaded.

The previously nearly ten-meter-tall body of the Black Bone Sea Monster now seemed so insignificant.

Yet it was not flustered; on the contrary, it was quite calm.

"Tch, an intimidating display? Who doesn’t know how to pull this? We’re all in the same business, so why pretend!"
