“Hehehe, I wonder what their faces would look like after they saw my gifts?” Rezen thought with a giggle
He was currently driving to the mall where his parents are. They decided to eat in a famous restaurant in the mall
After minutes of driving, Rezen parked his car in the underground parking lot before entering the mall
He went straight to where his parents were and when he saw them, a huge smile formed on his lips
The two were standing outside the restaurant as if they were waiting for someone
No doubt that someone is none other than their one and only child; Rezen!
“Should I scare them?”
A mischievous smile hangs on Rezen’s face. If he were to succeed in scaring them, how hilarious would that be?
“Hehehe…”
Deciding to prank them, Rezen blended in with the other pedestrians, making sure that his parents wouldn’t be able to see him
“Rezen, that brat, what is taking him so long?” Heinley said with a tone of impatience causing his wife to elbow him
“You’re just excited to see our son again” Yssa replied with a snort and her husband can only wryly rub his nose
They continue to wait for their son when Heinley suddenly felt something strange on his body causing him to let out a groan
“Honey, what’s wrong? Is your skin still painful? That’s why I told you not to stay on the beach and sun too long! I’ll kill if you have skin cancer!” Yssa was worried but she also doesn’t forget to blame Heinley for his own doing
However, Heinley currently doesn’t have the luxury to reply. His body shuddered as he felt some sort of entity swimming inside him
Without Heinley knowing, there was a black serpent that entered his body earlier. This serpent has an imprint on its forehead and as if it received some sort of command, it hissed
“Aaaahhhhh!!!”
Loud cries of pain rang around. All at the same time, thousands and thousands of Greenwood City’s citizens trembled and screamed
“Honey, what’s wrong?” Yssa asked worriedly before she saw something she would never forget
Boom!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSplat!
Her husband suddenly exploded into pulps of fresh meat. The pieces of his flesh and organs landed on the floor and also Yssa’s face and body
“H-honey…” she can only utter that while in a daze before green mist was suddenly diffused in the air
From what remains of Heinley’s body was a small black serpent that burst into poisonous green mist
It was not only Heinley, thousands of humans and animals all over Greenwood City exploded
There were also black serpents that hid in their bodies before exploding into a thick green mist that covered the entirety of the city, plunging it into hell
“Aahhkk!!” Yssa held her throat. It felt like someone was grabbing her neck tightly
Her skin became as pale as paper, and all the veins on her body became visible as she fell down the floor
She can feel her consciousness entering a hazy state. Her eyes staring straight at her husband’s remains and from it, a bloody and destroyed black box can be seen
Yssa tried to grab the black box with her hand as if she wants to protect it. Tears fell down from her rapidly closing eyes
In the end, before she can hold the black box, her eyes shut down
That black box was precisely the box containing the seeds of spirit plants. Due to Heinley’s excitement, he bought it with him to surprise Rezen
None of them expected that this is what would happen when they were about to reunite with their son
“Aarrgghh!!”
Rezen that was near to where his parents were forced to kneel down. He too didn’t expect what happened
、 Green mists suddenly wafted in the air and one doesn’t need to be smart to realize that the green mist was poisonous
Even Rezen was put on the brink of death. If his body wasn’t refined by the spirit plants and mutated crops that he had consumed in the past, it might only take a few seconds before he lose consciousness
Even then, the experience was horrible and he hurriedly consumed a recovery pill. The pill appeared directly in his throat and he hurriedly swallowed it
As soon as the pill entered his system, the poison on his body was expelled and he returned to his peak
Rezen slowly stood up, he stared at the place where his parents were. He witnessed what happened to the both of them
Before the green mist appeared, his father’s body exploded as if it was a watermelon that was smashed by a bat
Even her mother wasn’t spared, the poison from the green mist affected her
“N-no… no… NO!”
Rezen immediately entered a hysterical state. He was about to run to his parents and try to save them with his recovery pills when he sensed the movement of mana
The amount of mana that was mobilized was terrifying. Even an ungraded rank mage can sense the magic fluctuations clearly and they felt suffocated
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless explosions occurred along with a hearty laughter
“Hahahahaha! Greenwood City is now a territory of us, Twighlight Beast!” That loud voice entered everyone’s ears but Rezen don’t have the capacity to listen to that
Along with the sound of loud explosions, a streak of lightning landed on the mall. The ceiling broke down and pieces of it fell down
Bang!
Rezen watched as a large piece of concrete landed on his mother’s body, smashing her lower area
“M-mom… n-no… w-what is happening…”
Seeing both of his parents dying, Rezen’s brain was unable to comprehend what was happening
He didn’t even notice the pieces of scorched concrete that were approaching him
“Master!”
It was at this time that Zero’s panicked voice rang. However, Rezen as if he was deaf didn’t hear that
His expression was completely blank as he slowly walked toward his parents while ignoring the falling debris
Zero and the other subordinates of Rezen hurriedly activated their Mystic Tattoos. Their bodies were instantly filled with various elemental energies
Zero made his move, his long silver hair fluttered as he sprinted
Bang!
With a single punch of him, a piece of concrete was smashed into dust, preventing Rezen from getting hurt
“Acckk!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBlood suddenly drips down from Rezen’s lips. His recovery pill prevented him from dying earlier but the poisonous green mist was still there
“Master, use the Antidote Berry!” Zero said in urgency
Rezen never mistreated his subordinates. Each and every one of them has a void storage ring
In their storage were recovery pills and other plants that might help them in different situations
There is the Flame Resistance Grass if ever they are stuck in a place with a temperature so high that it could kill people
There is also an Oxygen Fruit Tree if they are in a place with no oxygen
Naturally, there is also a plant for treating poison and that is the Antidote Berry. Rezen has planted various plants both spirit plants and not
He has so much variety of plants that he cannot memorize them all but he and his subordinates always have the ones they deemed are useful
Seeing Rezen unresponsive, Zero took out one of his own Antidote Berry
“I’m sorry, Master” Zero apologizes before forcing the berry into Rezen’s mouth
Without the Antidote Berry, Rezen would die from the poisonous green mist in their surroundings
Rezen passively swallowed the berry, his feet not stopping until he arrived at his parents’ location
His father was already unrecognizable. He literally turned into a meaty pulp. Even the person closest to him would not be able to recognize him
Even Yssa’s situation was not good. She first suffered from the poison and die yet after that, her lower body was even smashed by a piece of concrete
Dead… both of them are dead. They are surely dead. Even when Rezen tried to place recovery pills on his father’s remains, nothing happened
He also tried feeding his mother recovery pills but it didn’t work out
The recovery pills can heal every injury. It would literally turn the user back to their peak condition
However, it cannot return the dead back to life. It has no resurrection ability
Heinley and Yssa were already dead. Even if Rezen feed them hundreds of thousands of recovery pills, he wouldn’t be able to save them
Suddenly, the mana was stirred again. Large magic circles appeared on the entirety of Greenwood City
“[Spirit Field!]”
The spell [Spirit Field] was cast all over the city. This was the same spell that the Wolf King used to forcefully retain the souls of the dead and use them to create his Werebeast Nucleus
“Hahahaha souls! Hundreds of thousands, no, a million souls! With this many souls, we could create a ton of Werebeast Nuclei!”
A loud voice rang in the whole city. Suddenly, the souls of the dead materialize and become visible to the human eye
Even Rezen’s parents were in the same situation. The spell made their souls visible and as long as the spell is active, their souls wouldn’t return to where they belong
