Mystic Maiden carried Alex into a small cave. The first thing he saw was the skeleton of a pig, curled up in the corner and not moving an inch.
‘Ah, that’s probably Pigsy.’
Pigsy crawled to its feet, huffing as it watched Alex getting thrown to the ground. “I knew life is never fair. Good people seem to always die early, and the bad continue living a perfectly good life. A scammer like you couldn’t possibly just die like that.”
Alex laid on the ground, his position unpleasant to the eye. More importantly, he couldn’t stand back up. He decided to not move and said, “You damn pig, do you not know who I am? It’s been two whole years, for god’s sake. Of course, you can’t compete with me.”
Pigsy could tell that something was wrong with him and understood what was happening at the time. It approached Alex with sly intentions, stomping on his skull.
“Hahaha! And you still dare to lie like that?!”
“If you can, fight back!”
“Stand up and punch me!”
“If you can’t, then all you can do is wait to get stomped! Haha! Die under my trotters, you weakling!”
Alex could feel a stinging pain within his skull after Pigsy stepped on him. More importantly, he was extremely furious that he was being bullied by a mere pig.
“Miss Maiden, are there any tips on controlling our bodies?”
“Of course, there are. Wrap your soul power around your bones, so your soul acts as your flesh, moving all your bones.”
The green skeleton sat down on a stool in the cave. She wasn’t in a hurry, watching as Pigsy continued to abuse Alex, not intending on helping. Alex immediately tried it out
Pigsy didn’t stop, yelling arrogantly. “Oh little minion, you’re not calling her your master, but ‘miss’? Who gave you the courage? I’ll just keep trampling your face then! Over here, I’m the boss!”
“Huhu… Do you really think you can beat me after you get some tips? Impossible! We’ve been researching this method for half a year. And it requires at least a year to master! And it depends on potential too… Besides, look here. Do you see what this is?”
It lifted its hind leg, and what seemed like tens of light golden bone patterns were two of its bones.
As Pigsy was having fun, it didn’t seem satisfied with merely stomping on the head. It even wanted to stomp on Alex’s stomach.
Suddenly, Alex reached out and grabbed its trotters, then leaped from the ground. He then kicked Pigsy up into the air, smashing it onto the ceiling of the cave.
“Argh!” Pigsy screamed in disbelief.
However, Alex had already lunged towards it, punching and kicking it over and over again.
This time, even Mystic Maiden was shocked. ‘That wasn’t supposed to happen!’
‘Could this kid really be that gifted? He perfected this skill within such a short amount of time?’
‘But he doesn’t have any bone patterns. How did he do that?’
