Re-Awakening: I Became a Pay To Win Boss Monster Chapter 289: Resemblance And Encounter

Chapter 289: Resemblance And Encounter

With his sister’s words in mind, Minos’s expression hardened.

And all of a sudden, Rael saw a faint trace of white mana leave Minos and enter the rat.

In the next mont, the rat began to wriggle uncontrollably, until it finally settled down.

Rael raised a brow, preparing to kill it.

Yet the rat suddenly began to dance around on both legs, causing Jane to let out a giggle.

“Looks like he got the hang of it,” she remarked with a smile.

“It’s a pretty cool skill,” Rael comnted, a faint frown appearing on his face.

The two can’t be related, right?

He didn’t an the siblings, but another person who described his childhood a few weeks ago.

Kareth, the Hollow King.

He was soone who played with toys, calling them his Hollow Servants.

When he finally began wielding mana, he got a skill similar to puppetry.

Finally, a few billion years later, he beca the king of everything that was Hollow.

That was the gist of what Kareth shared.

“Say, Minos,” Rael muttered. “Have you ever called your toys Hollow Servants?”

Minos turned toward him with a confused look.

“Hollow Servants…? Not that I rember…”

Rael nodded, yet his suspicion didn’t fade in the slightest.

This mory record was being shown to him for a reason.

So for this kind of coincidence to present itself, Rael simply didn’t buy it.

Still…

“Is there a limit to how long you can control the rat?” he asked.

Minos shook his head.

“I don’t see a limit. But there is a glowing little slot inside my mind. There are 10 slots in total, and the rat is occupying one of them.. .so I’m guessing I can control up to 10 puppets before losing control,” Minos replied.

“I see…” Rael mumbled, then turned around with a slight smile. “Let’s be off then, shall we?”

The two siblings followed, and so did the rat, which walked on two legs.

Rael was a little creeped out, but a rat companion was a rat companion.

Still, these siblings acted surprisingly childish for their age.

After all, they were likely only a few years younger than him.

Maybe it’s because of how they lived…? Rael sighed. Being rich might’ve made them too naive. But it’s fine, now that they’re with , I’ll teach them how stuff works.

Anyhow, the four of them slowly made their way through the apocalyptic streets, steadily approaching the Jade Palace.

It was completely abandoned, with corpses of both monsters and humans scattered alike.

They climbed the steps to the top.

He thought he might find so loot, but what he found instead was a man he had seen earlier, Bai Yun.

He was crouched down beside a corpse, looting it.

Then he turned his head toward Rael, his grin widening

“Well, well, well. You survived,” Yun said coldly. “Did you see that Wyrm, by the way? Which direction did it fly to?”

“Hmm… I wonder?” Rael tilted his head. “So far, you’re the biggest pussy I’ve seen since the apocalypse started.”

Yun raised a brow. “Is that supposed to be a complint? You do know why I did that, right?”

He cleared his throat.

“There were so very strong people there, and I eliminated them accordingly. Now they don’t pose a threat to .”

“So you killed people who could’ve been your allies just because you’re insecure and paranoid,” Rael translated. “That’s pretty fucked up.”

Yun shrugged.

“Interpret it however you wish. But the fact that you remained might be a little trouble.”

With those words, he stood up, stretching his back and shooting Rael a cold look.

“After all… my image as the strongest ranker and the future leader of all of humanity must not be tarnished, so excess strings like you shall unfortunately be culled.”

Imdiately, a barrier appeared around Rael’s neck, slightly tightening.

Rael didn’t wait to be killed as he kicked off the ground, arriving in front of Yun in an instant.

He raised his sword as if preparing to swing.

But instead, Rael hurled the sword straight at Yun’s heart.

Unsurprisingly, the sword was blocked by the barrier, but it managed to throw off Yun’s focus just enough for the barrier around Rael’s neck to dissipate.

At the sa ti, Rael realized sothing very crucial.

“You can only have one barrier up at a ti, eh?” Rael mused. “So you can either defend or attack. No in-between.”

Yun stared back at him for a few monts, his expression remaining calm.

“And? What are you going to do with this information?” Yun asked as he reached for his back pocket, pulling out a staff.

Rael’s brows furrowed.

“I get that your na in Sketa Online is Wukong… but roleplaying in the apocalypse? Do you have another staff hidden up your ass in case you lose this one?”

That made Yun’s brows twitch slightly, but even so, he kicked off the ground, leaping into the air.

He raised his staff, preparing to slam it down.

But that was when an icy projectile ca flying from the side, hitting Yun straight on the chest.

It didn’t deal any damage, but it sure as hell managed to stop his advance.

Yet as he landed on the ground, he was t with a rat gnawing at his barrier with its tiny teeth.

“…”

Yun clenched his fists, glaring at Rael.

“You seem to be under the impression that these stunts of yours will do anything. They will not.”

He took one step forward, crushing the rat underneath his feet.

“You, like the two cripples, won’t be able to break through my barrier. I can keep attacking until you exhaust your mana and stamina.”

His grin widened as he leaned forward, preparing to dash toward Rael.

However, Rael had sothing else in mind.

He used one of his main class skills, and in the next instant, a disfigured green gremlin appeared.

It looked around for a few monts, its gaze drifting toward Jane and Minos.

But that was when Rael suddenly bonked it over the head and pointed it toward Yun instead.

Rael cleared his throat and smirked as he gave the command.

“Fetch his items.”
