Chapter 682 - Skeleton
"But I can\'t overlook the fact that the Lionax Kingdom is battling against The Revolution Army," Viona muttered in a low voice. She looked in the direction of Gigante once more, the place where she left her son and daughter. She missed and worried about her daughter. What was she doing right now? Was she okay without her mother? There was an urge telling her to go back, but Viona shook her head. "Please wait a little longer, Elle, Robin."
Viona then turned around, but she stopped her steps when she saw who came up to the wall with her. Captain Robert was bringing a mug of booze in his hand. He raised the booze as a smile plastered on his face. "I saw you from below!" Robert motioned downward with his mug, "What are you doing here? Why don\'t you join us and celebrate our victory together?"
"I don\'t drink!" Viona tried to get away from this man, but Captain Robert blocked her. "At least, you should drink the one I brought for you." He forcefully pushed the mug on his left hand toward her. She looked at the green-colored booze and frowned.
"Don\'t you know that Braum City is famous for their brewing? You should try it." Captain Robert forced the mug into her hand. She knew it was not good to let the mug fall. Even though she did not like this man, she did not want to make an enemy. Especially not if he was her ally.
Viona took the mug and brought it slowly to her mouth. \'I will just drink this one and leave.\' She just wanted to finish this one mug and leave immediately. However, as the mug came closer to her mouth, she noticed something amiss. In her eyes, Captain Robert was smiling weirdly. At that moment, her instinct was telling her to throw away the drink, and she followed her intuition. She threw away the mug and questioned the man. "Did you put a drug in the drink?"
Captain Robert\'s smile froze, and his eyes widened slightly. He immediately regained his composure and denied it. "Of course not! If you don\'t want to drink it, just say so. Why would you accuse me of something absurd?" He raised his voice.
"Yes, I don\'t feel like drinking something from a stranger." Viona did not bother to hide her feelings from this man anymore. "I don\'t like hanging out with you, so please stop bothering me." After saying that, she intended to leave, but Captain Robert blocked her again.
"What\'s the meaning of this?" Viona questioned Captain Robert. The latter smiled. "I just want to celebrate our victory, don\'t be so cold." He tried to hold Viona\'s hand, but she immediately backed away from the man. She then saw four more people come up, and the four seemed to be Captain Robert\'s friends.
"Gegege… You get rejected again, Captain?" One man laughed as he scanned Viona from top to bottom. The other three followed with laughter as they blocked the stairs.
Viona quickly realized that her institution was right. Captain Robert drugged the drink and wanted to do something terrible to her. For some reason, she did not panic or worry even though they had five people. Not because she had a way out, but because she belonged to that man. \'This is weird, for sure.\'
"I thought knight is honorable and all about justice, but you are no different than a gangster." Viona heard a familiar voice and looked back. A man was sitting on the wall, his feet were swaying, and he smiled while waving his hand at her. "Yo, I thought we were going to spend a night together, but you did not drink it."
Lord Tang Shaoyang was right behind her, and she did not notice when he came. \'Was he here all the time?\' From those words, Lord Tang Shaoyang heard and witnessed everything. That meant he was around from the start. \'Maybe this is why I feel safe?\'
"Who are you!?" Captain Robert was alarmed as he also did not notice the man\'s presence until now.
Tang Shaoyang ignored Robert and motioned for Viona to come over. She came over, and when she arrived in front of her. He circled his hand around her waist and pulled her. Then he kissed her on the lips. She was not expecting the kiss and was surprised. But then she responded to his kiss, and they exchanged a deep kiss for a while.
When their lips departed, Tang Shaoyang licked his lips and muttered. "I want to eat you right now, but we will skip that part tonight." He then pulled her to the side and took three steps forward. "What should we do with these scums, Marshal Alton?"
"Of course, we should remove them from our force. Or else they will grow larger and become a parasite to the others. We don\'t need people like them. What do you think, Vice Marshal Allan? They are your people."
Captain Robert and his four friends looked toward the voice, and their eyes widened in shock. Who would expect the two highest superiors would be here? Robert looked at Vice Marshall Allan, who had a disappointed expression on his face.
"I agree with that." Vice Marshall Allan let out a sigh and nodded. "Also, you should not do that in front of others, My Lord. You have wives, and it does no good to your image if the others see you kissing another woman that is not your wife." Marshal Alton reminded Tang Shaoyang.
Captain Robert slowly turned his head toward the man, who was hugging Viona\'s waist. His eyes were bulging out as if it was about to come out of its socket. He was on the brink of breakdown when he found out the man\'s identity next to Viona.
\'I am done for.\' That was the thing in his head right now. He was about to make a move on The Emperor\'s woman. He was beyond saving, and not even Vice Marshal Allan could help him in this situation. Then he remembered what Viona had told him before. She belonged to someone else, and he could get killed if he kept pestering her.
"There\'s no one here unless you two want to gossip behind me; no one will know." Tang Shaoyang shrugged and gave a slight slap on Viona\'s butts. "Go ahead, you don\'t- No, you can actually stay behind and see everything." He then released his Slayer Aura and engulfed the five knights with his aura. "You don\'t mind, right, Vice Marshal Allan?"
Vice Marshal Allan nodded his head. The four knights were pleading for their lives, but Tang Shaoyang killed them before making a loud noise. Slayer Blades formed around the five knights and beheaded them in the next second. The five knights died just like that.
"You can leave now." Tang Shaoyang turned his head and asked Viona to leave. She looked at the headless bodies and looked back at Tang Shaoyang. She said nothing and left the wall silently.
"What do you want to do with the body? Do you want to bury them?" Tang Shaoyang turned toward the two old knights and asked. Marshal Alton glanced at his friend before voicing his thoughts. "I want to set an example for the others by showing these bodies, but I don\'t think this is the right time for that. We are still in a war, and it might be demoralizing for the others if they see one of theirs die like this."
"I agree with that, and we can let the others see this. The knights I bring with me don\'t have family, so burning them is better. Even if we bury them, no one will take care of their graves." Vice Marshal Allan responded in a disappointed tone. "I apologize for you to see this side of my knights, My Lord. I will discipline the others strictly so the same thing will not repeat."
"There\'s no need for you to apologize." Tang Shaoyang waved his hand. "People change once they have power." After saying that, he flicked his finger, and the five bodies burned into ashes. He could save the bodies for the Spirit Summoning, but he did not feel good about it since these five were Allan\'s subordinates. \'I have enough knight bodies with me. These five bodies don\'t matter.\'
After the bodies disappeared, Alton and Allan excused themselves and left, leaving Tang Shaoyang alone on the top wall. After everyone left the wall, he opened the status window and checked the soul counter.
[Grade B Soul: 5]
"So these knights\' souls are Grade B." Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice. "I forget to ask their levels. The grade must be related to levels. Class and Talent may be the factor of grading as well." He wanted to figure out the grading system, so that he could harvest the necessary soul for the Necromastery
"Now I have five souls. Let\'s try the skill." After saying that, Tang Shaoyang cast [Necromastery].
[You have used five souls to summon a skeleton!]
The Dark energy gathered on the floor and whirled slowly. Tang Shaoyang observed the dark energy, and then the skeleton came out of the swirling dark energy. The skeleton was around 1.8 meters, and it had a bone sword in its right hand. That was it, and Tang Shaoyang finally saw the skeleton similar to the skeleton model in the science lab. The only difference was this skeleton\'s eyes glowing in deep purple.
—The Necromancy is somewhat different from the Necromancer in my world. You use the soul to summon the undead, but the Necromancer in my world used dead bodies. The necromancer will transform the dead body into the undead, not the soul.
Zowen, who witnessed everything from the Spiritual World, commented. Necromancer was not uncommon in her previous world, and they fought a lot against the Necromancer. She knew a lot about them, but she never encountered the Necromancer using soul to summon their undead.
Tang Shaoyang focused on the skeleton in front of him since he knew nothing about Necromancer. He got closer and spoke. "Can you speak? Can you communicate with me?" He flicked his finger in the face of the skeleton.
—Undead does not have intelligence, Master. You order them, and they follow your orders. They can\'t spea-
Zaneos\' words stopped midway as the skeleton was responding to Tang Shaoyang. Of course, the skeleton could not speak, but its jaw was clacking at each other as if it was talking.
"Oh, it can speak. It says, \'I can only speak to you, Master.\', this is amazing." Tang Shaoyang smiled like a child who found a new toy. "But what\'s the difference between Grade B soul\'s skeleton and Grade S soul\'s skeleton?" He then extended his hand toward the skeleton and said. "Open status window!"

Tang Shaoyang was surprised to see the complete attributes of the skeleton, and he found out that the skeleton could also gain class and skill. He then smiled playfully as a thought crossed his mind. "It seems I will not be bored with this new toy, and maybe the different grade soul will give different attributes… This is interesting.
