Chapter 631 A merger

" You want us to WHAT? ". Scar-face felt the very idea to merge bodies with the shaman repulsive , as he wanted to reject it without a second thought .

" You are useless , and i cannot protect us , if we try to retreat we will both be slaughtered by shakuni. But if we merge bodies i have a way to stack our stats and make the merger stronger than both of us combined ". The shaman tried to lure scar-face into joining bodies with him .

" How does it work , is it temporary ?

I cannot join bodies with you forever! ". Scar-face asked in panick , as he started to consider the option.

" Ofcourse it's temporary , and it comes with a debuff after we seperate as well. We may even not be able to control our bodies for the first few days as it would feel odd and foreign ". The shaman tried to make the merger sound more realistic , as there was no way that such power did not come without a price.

Scar-face's inner instincts screamed at him to reject the offer , but the allure of defeating shakuni for once and for all was too large for him to pa.s.s on.

Should he get the added stats of the shaman he was 100% sure that he could easily take down shakuni , and after that win this war for once and for all.

As for the struggle after that .... It was still acceptable.

Blinded by the rage for shakuni in his heart , scar-face gave in to the temptation in his moment of weakness as he agreed to the shaman for this temporary merger.

Little did he know , it would be the worst decision he would ever make in his life ...

" You are not tricking me right? I would still be in control of the body right? ". Scar-face double checked with the shaman regarding this detail , and the shaman lied with a straight face about it.

" Ofcourse .... Although if you die i die too , so just don't die ".

Scar-face still had his reservations , but facing another wave of fire , the shaman quickly put up a defensive barrier around the two and slit both of his own wrists to begin the ceremony.

A pool of blood and green slimy liquid dropped on the ground below as the shaman had his eyes roll to the back of his head as he chanted in ancient language.

Using the fallen blood , he started to write ancient runes on scar- face's head and his face as he prepared the other for the merger.

Initially scar-face did not suspect a thing , but when the armour did not crack or even show any signs of damage against the fire attack this time around , he started to feel suspicious.

The same attack had shattered the barrier twice before this time , so why was it standing strong now , unless the shaman was tricking him the other two times?

" STOP! I change my mind ... ". Scar-face said as he got up on his feet . He did not trust the shaman enough to entrust such an foreign procedure to him . But to his dismay this did not work out well for him at all.

The shaman stomped his feet and summoned ugly looking tier 3 orcs from the ground below , as those creatures forcefully pinned scar-face on the ground , and in his weakened state he was not strong enough to challenge their grip.

" Wh-what are you doing ... Have you lost your mind shaman .... Let me go ! LET ME GO ! ". Scar-face screamed and struggled , but it was all for naught , as the shaman kept chanting and drenching scar-face's body in all sorts of blood and weird green liquid.

" I'm the representative of Lucifer ... I'm carrying out his will ! This will not end well for you ! I'm warning you shaman .... This will not end well for you! ".

Scar-face tried to threaten the shaman in the name of Lucifer , but the shaman paid him no heed .

Slitting his own throat the shaman forcefully liplocked scar-face.

What happened next was that the shaman's body visibly started to dry up as he seemed to vomit his guts into scar-face's body , as the latter's body started to s.h.i.+ne with power.

In a mere 3 minutes the shaman's body became a pile of steaming bones , while Scar-Face's body lied still on the ground without a single muscle twitching.

When scar-face finally opened his eyes , the expression on his face was nothing like the charismatic and arrogant leader of the blood merchant group , but instead it was a maniacal smile of the psychotic Shaman.

" After a hundered years ..... A young and powerful body! Muahahahahaha ". He laughed and clenched his own fists as he felt the power coursing through his veins.

Already at the pseudo tier 5 power level . The shaman felt like he was the king of the world !

( Meanwhile on the other Battlefronts )

News that shakuni was alive travelled fast to the other Battlefronts as the elites felt a sense of relief followed by a subsequent burst of rage at the information.

The releif of knowing that Rudra was alive was huge , while the rage of the merchants feeding them with mininformation was even larger.

" HOW DARE YOU LIE TO ME ". Neatwit said in anger as he and his ducks rampaged through the eastern battlefield following the news slaughtering everything in their path .

When Jhonny English recieved the news he only said a " Attaboy " with a smile as he went back to work , his heart feeling releif that the kid was okay.

However Karna borderline lost his mind when he heard the news.

Although he had given the bold speech just moments ago , and he desperately wanted that Shakuni be alive . He did not have a 100% faith in his life himself.

As a leader although he could not appear weak , internally he was just a normal man who was only putting up a strong front . Hence when the news that shakuni was alive came to the southern end , Karna could not help but grin widely.

" Well , if he wasn't atleast that strong then i might as well become the guildmaster ". Karna said as he switched from one sword style fighting to three sword style.

Clenching his teeth against his third sword Karna resolved to make the merchants who spread such misinformation pay!

Closing his eyes , he finally let his emotions run lose as he became a one man killing machine , that absolutely bulldozed his way through any and every opponent blocking his path.
