Chapter 365 Master
Chapter 365 Master
Early morning, at the mountains where Rudy's rage had erupted volcanoes, and later, he covered them in snow.
It was windy and cold for obvious reasons, and the first sunlight fell on the peak of the mountain.
Slowly, the snow from the peak began to melt, and a drop of lava came out of it. No, it wasn't because of the sunlight, but the volcano had begun to erupt again.
One after another, drops of lava rolled down the mountain, eventually melting the snow from the entire peak.
CRACK~ CRACK!
It rumbled loudly with the noise of cracking, and something was shot into the sky as it erupted. A few seconds later, it fell to the ground, revealing itself to be a massive tail of a Scorpio.
BANG!
Once again, something fell to the ground, and it turned out to be a severed head of a horned beast.
Then, a loud banging and thumping sound came out of that volcano as though something big was emerging from it. However, as the soul got closer, it suddenly stopped.
A few seconds later, something that seemed to be a skeletal hand came out of the volcano and grabbed the top. Another hand came out, and the thing pulled itself up and out of the volcano.
However, it wasn't massive. It was around the height of an average human being. Its entire body was covered with fleshless skin, and the skeleton was visible, seemingly burned too.
No organs were left in the body, not even a brain or heart, but it still seemed alive. It stood on the peak of the volcano and glanced around even though it had no eyes.
Then, it raised its hand and snapped.
SNAP!
It was so loud and clear that even if it wasn't in the middle of nowhere or in a crowded area, it would make everything silent.
The skeleton began to regenerate rapidly as its flesh covered its bones and skin wrapped around the body. Within a minute, the ugly and creepy skeleton turned into a beautiful girl with pale pink hair and a naked body.
SNAP!
With another snap, she stopped erupting.
"Hmm. Where am I?" she wondered. "And Why was I awoken?"
She touched her body and muttered, "Why do I feel like I was also awakened recently but sealed again?
How much time has passed since I was last sealed? Is this place the same as before, or am I in another world?
Why was my seal weakened recently, and why did it break 2 days ago? Still, it took me two days to come out. There were so many seals, traps, and monsters to defeat to pass the test.
Regardless, I am free now. I will once again reign this world! But before that, I must find a master! I wonder where he is right now.
I am alive right now, and I can still harness my powers, which means my master is alive. But why can't I sense him? Is he currently not in this world? Or perhaps he is hiding his trace so the enemies can't locate him?
No matter where he is, I will find him. Even if it takes me a decade. But first, I must gather intel about this world and learn what happened in my absence."
She jumped down and landed near the tail of the scorpion as her breasts also bounced upon landing.
She picked up the tail and roasted it with fire.
"Hmm~ It should now be edible."
She took a bite but spat out the next second and burned it to the ashes.
"I was sealed for millennia or perhaps billennia... eons, maybe? Whatever, I will learn everything soon. I just hope that humankind has invented new types of food in this era, or I shall annihilate them all for how worthless their lives are."
SNAP!
She snapped and conjured clothes around her body.
"Let's go. Master~ I am coming for you~"
Rudy opened his eyes in his room and stared at the ceiling.
"...."
He sat up and let out a short sigh.
"I almost didn't recognize my room..."
He got out of bed and looked out of the window to breathe and fill his lungs with fresh morning air.
He glanced around the room and muttered, "Angelica went to sleep? But... why do I feel like someone was calling me just now?"
'Was that Lucy?!' He rushed out of his room and went downstairs to see Lucy making breakfast in the kitchen.
She was startled by the sound of Rudy's loud footsteps.
"You scared me!" she yelled.
"Sorry..."
"I am making breakfast for three people, but it will take some time. You should take a bath in the meantime," she suggested.
"Alright..."
Rudy went to his room and returned with clothes in his hands. He entered the bathroom and stripped himself within a second.
"..."
'Why is Lucy so talkative? She shouldn't even be looking at me! This is not how it went in my past life. She was acting like she had been living here for months.
But to be honest... I should stop comparing everything to my past life. Many things have changed, and I am responsible for most of them.'
A while later, he came out of the bathroom while wiping his hair with the towel.
"Wow. That smells great~"
He threw the towel on the couch and rushed to the kitchen, but Lucy glared at him and said, "Get that towel off the couch, or you won't get breakfast."
"Whoa. Okay."
Rudy sat on the chair opposite Lucy and smiled at her while Lucy served breakfast to Rudy.
"This is..."
'This is my favorite dish that only Lucy could make. Nice to see I will be eating his often now.
After eating breakfast with Lucy, Rudy went to his room to grab his phone and the briefcase filled with two million dollars in cash.
He put his phone in his pocket but took it out a second later to check the time. However, the screen didn't light up.
"Hmm? Why is it not turning on?" he wondered. "Don't tell me it's broken already."
