Chapter 108 Who Is Your Master
“You actually had a chance to live, but you missed it. So when these creatures bite you to death, don’t blame them, and certainly don’t blame me. The only one who’s made a mistake here is you. You’re too dim -witted, to be honest. I’ve lived a long time and I’ve never seen anyone as foolish as you!” River Yu’s harsh words took Daniel by surprise.
Curious, Daniel looked at the old man and asked, “Master Yu, I’m not quite following you. What do you mean by that?”
“Since you’re going to die soon anyway, I might as well tell you straight so you can die with a clear understanding. When I asked if you were a curse master, I was giving you a chance to save yourself. Had you said ‘yes,‘ I might have considered sparing your life! Unfortunately, your answer wasn’t what I needed to hear. Since you aren’t a curse master, you’re not in the same trade, and I have no need to let you live.”
“You would spare me just because I’m a fellow curse master? When you asked me if I was a curse master earlier on, were you just trying to check who my master is,in case I have a powerful one? If my master were someone not to be trifled with, you wouldn’t dare to kill me. Otherwise, even if I were a curse master, you’d still want to take my life!”
“Since
you understand so much then, I’ll give you another chance. Answer me honestly, who is your master? If I recognize your master’s name, perhaps I’ll spare your life out of respect for them.”
“I’m merely a doctor, and my master is just a village medic. His name is not important.” Daniel deftly avoided mentioning Noah Carter’s name, heeding the old man’s warning not to reveal it to other
“Your master is a doctor? Then how about you give him a call to tell him your location, so he can come and collect your corpse? Don’t worry; although some of these creatures eat flesh, they won’t strip your bones clean. I’ll make sure to leave something for your master–maybe your balls!”
With a grim smile, River Yu lifted the flute and began to conduct the swarm of animals once again. The discordant whistle sounded, causing the mass of rats, insects, and snakes to commence their attack on Daniel. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Daniel stood still, calmly observing the encroaching tide of vermin that was originally destined for him. But as he watched, the creatures that initially targeted him began to cause a commotion.
Inside Daniel, after all, dwelled seven dragon spirits.
“Attack the one who called you forth!” Daniel commanded in an even tone. On his order, the frenzied
mass of creatures turned in unison and rushed towards River Yu. Rats swarmed over him, snakes
entwined around his ankles, and ants even crawled into his nostrils. To make matters worse, several
cockroaches made their way directly into his mouth.
Whatever the creature, the living mass began to assault River Yu.
River Yu let out shrieks as he frantically tried to get rid of the animals plastered to him. After a grueling half–hour battle, he managed to kill all the attacking vermin. He was alive, not seriously injured, but hist body was riddled with bite marks and holes from the onslaught. Although the worst was over, River Yu still gasped painfully with each breath.
