Chapter 912 Kalicio

The skeleton laughed again. How long did it take to have a talk with someone? Being stuck in this goddamn place for trillions of years with no one to talk or have a meal with. It's tiresome and lonely and he wanted to die, unfortunately, he couldn't kill himself or else he might have done it now.

For him, it's a refreshing day.

"Lad, what is your name?" The skeleton asked. He never asked for the name of the people he met in the past. But it was different this time, this person deserved to be asked for his name.

"Jin Rou." Jin Rou responded. It was his real name, of course.

"I see, my name is Kalicio." The big skeleton introduced himself, "I have been here for countless years now, so talking with you is a pleasant thing in my eyes."

All this time, Kalicio focused on killing and searching for possible threats that could antagonize Mortalis. He was the reason why there were no Alpalakala Race or Hydras attacking the world again.

No one recognized his name, but Han Li did. Now, Jin Rou could connect the dots as the clues were already complete. This skeleton was hidden savior of the world, the younger brother of the villainous old man in Mortalis.

Though Han Li only had a limited information about him, it was enough to know how extraordinary this man was.

Unlike his older brother, he chose to hide in the shadows and protect the world rather than making them know of his contributions. Most of the time, he made the toughest calls in desperate situations during his prime time.

They were a lot alike. Han Li was the butcher who didn't hesitate to kill millions of people to save hundred millions of them. They were both not afraid to seal the hardest calls around. They didn't mind being branded as the devils and the others as saviors.

However, there was stark difference between the two. And it's freedom. Jin Rou could roam around the world as Han Li without anything restricting him while Kalicio was restricted by the sea and never get out of this place until he died.

"It's my choice to stay here." Kalicio said despite no questions imposed, "The Mortalis holds a great significance for me. Even though my brother is a bit devilish most of the times, I don't mind as long as l can do my part well."

"You're aware that I'm aiming for that old man's head." Jin Rou said. He wasn't asking, he was stating it.

"Many want to kill him, and I cannot stop them, even you. Everyone has paths to take. If my brother is meant to die, he is meant to die, then." Kalicio talked about life and death as if it wasn't a big deal. Take note, once they died, there was no chance for them being revived unlike others.

Everyone has their own paths to take, and this was the path Kalicio chose. To silently protect the world. Even if his brother died one day, he would always protect the world no matter what it took. He never aimed for the throne anyway and just wanted to rot here in peace. After all, the enemies hiding in the sea had almost been taken out with one exception.

"You will die here one day. But that day is still too far from now." Jin Rou said.

"This is my choice, my path, Young Lad." The skeleton said. Then silence permeated the air.

It was a long silence as both of them looked at the distant sea from the bridge. The two had different thoughts but they understood each other well as if they're two old friends.

After a long while, the skeleton suddenly said, "Along these years, I have found enough clues to where the spear can be found. But with my power getting limited in that island, I don't think I can get it. I can tell you but I have a condition."

This information was useless to him anyway since he could no longer leave the sea, but it's beneficial to Jin Rou. Although it felt like he's helping him kill his brother by this.

"Do tell." Jin Rou was interested. Finding the spear would be time consuming, but if he could find it immediately, then he wouldn't mind paying a price. The question was, what's condition was that? And could he even take it?

"You can have the spear, but you have to kill that monster which escaped by my hands and is currently hiding in the island." Kalicio said, "With your power level, it's definitely possible to kill it but be careful. That monster can slip away through your fingers and escape again.

Knowing that Kalicio couldn't move in the island, it turned the island as its hiding spot and never returned to the sea despite being an oceanic beast.

"Can you tell me what monster is this?" Jin Rou asked.

"Whaleus." Kalicio said, "A type of large whale in a human flesh form. It was the last of their tribe but it managed to escape and adapt into the island."

"Then you have a deal." Jin Rou smiled. He was familiar with Whaleus and knew how catch them.

Kalicio threw a shining stone towards Jin Rou and said, "When you are in the island, this stone can navigate your direction to where you should go. Follow it and and it will lead you to the spear."

"You made this?" Jin Rou could sense the aura of Kalicio inside the stone.

"Yes, that will not only help you with directions, it also has other uses. But it's for you to discover how." Kalicio said. His red eyes were suddenly fading and said, "Go, my awake time has reached the limit. I need to rest to recuperate."

Jin Rou nodded and said, "It's nice meeting you, Kalicio."

"It's nice knowing you and talking to you, Jin Rou." Then, Kalicio's eye sockets turned dark.

This would be the first and last time they could see each other and Jin Rou already imprinted the image of the skeleton in his mind. After that, he left the ship without turning back.
