Chapter 1717 The Reaper's Veil.

"You, kid, I like you!"

Then he placed his finger on the table and,

"However, I still cannot let you take the Mission!"

Nux frowned,

"Why is that?"

"Because it is pointless!

"You are saying that even without letting me see the details of the mission?"

"Yes.

As I said, I like the way you think.

You will make it big in the Mercenary World, but for that, you need to survive, and going on this mission wouldn't make that happen!"

"Let me see the mission first, I'll be the one to decide."

Nux insisted.

The Lion Head stared at him for a while, then, he sighed.

Suddenly, a bundle of papers appeared in front of him.

Nux frowned; he wanted to see only one mission, not a bunch of them. However, the moment he read those papers, he realized this bundle was one single mission,

The Black Mission.

And the more details he read, the more solemn his expression became.

"The Reaper's Veil!

Suddenly, the Lion Head started.

He stared at. Nux and continued,

"That's the mission's name.

Thousands of years ago, there was a Iligh-Level World named Umbrasol. The beings of Umbrasol were feared; even amongst the High-Level Worlds, it was quite strong. Not many forces could go against this world at that time.

Most beings of Umbrasol were born with Eclipse Bone Physique, a physique that makes it easier for them to access the Energy of Death.

It sounded simple enough.

However...

The army sent by the Four Supreme Worlds didn't return.

Another army was sent, but their fate was the same.

More and more armies were sent, with each army stronger than before-even Eternals were sent. It was then,

The Eternal who was sent in the most recent conquest returned, his face pale, body filled with Death Energy. His organs were giving out, his blood had diluted, his Life Force was depleted. Honestly, not even a High-Level World would have enough resources to save him, but fortunately, he was from a Supreme-Level World, and he also had a bit of a background, so he was saved.

Well... at least his life was prolonged for ten more years..."

"Ten years?"

"He passed away after that; the Death Energy had seeped too deep inside his body, there was no way

to save him."

"Even an Eternal failed...?"

Riona couldn't believe it.

How much stronger was an Eternal compared to them?

He was three Phases above them!

That being could kill the likes of them with a snap of his finger!

"Why do you think we abandoned this mission?"

The Lion Head snorted.

Nux, however, narrowed his eyes.

"If an Eternal failed, what even gave you the confidence that your Mercenaries could do something

about it?

There must be something that made you think you could do it, no?"

"I knew you weren't simple.

The Lion Head laughed.

"We took the mission because of the information he passed before he died!
