Chapter 010: Unconscious

As he spoke, the Skeleton Knight unhesitatingly drew the longsword from his waist and swung it down toward Wang Bo's head.

"Die, human."

The substitute behind Wang Bo materialized in an instant; the Substitute Superman extended a single finger and blocked the Skeleton Knight's attack.

The longsword in the Skeleton Knight's hand shattered into pieces.

But the Skeleton Knight did not stop; a surge of powerful magic erupted from his body, as if to free his frozen legs, yet Wang Bo merely flicked his finger.

The scorching Nine Suns Sword Qi effortlessly pierced the Skeleton Knight's body, dispersing the magic he had gathered.

After a brief silence, the Skeleton Knight's upper torso fell from the horse's back, the wound as smooth as a mirror.

His body split in two; if he were an ordinary person, he would have died several times over.

But the Skeleton Knight still said with vigor, "You are strong, but do not think to make me yield. Grant me a swift end, oh human powerhouse."

Wang Bo said with some helplessness, "I just want to know, are you truly a knight of Hell? How did you come to the human world?"

The Skeleton Knight said, preferring death to surrender, "Do not expect me to answer any of your questions."

Wang Bo clicked his tongue; he rather liked this valiant and loyal knight. Although this fellow was a Westerner, he possessed that spirit of loyalty and righteousness, making him a fine subordinate.

But unfortunately, Wang Bo had to extract some information from him.

"Since you are obstinate, don't blame me."

Hearing Wang Bo's tone, the Skeleton Knight felt a pang of panic. "What do you intend to do, human?"

Wang Bo raised his hand, cast a spell, and began to brainwash the skeletal knight, incidentally finding some interesting things in his mind.

At first, the skeletal knight tried to resist, 'Stop, human, do not defile my honor.'

But his resistance was too weak; Wang Bo quickly suppressed it and found what he wanted in the skeletal knight's mind.

Just as the skeletal knight had said, he came from hell.

However, this hell was completely different from the hell in Wang Bo's impression.

Because this hell had neither a demon king nor the seventy-two pillars of demons; in this hell, there were only lords.

And every hell lord possessed formidable skills, numerous subordinates, and vast territories.

For example, Consnina, whom this skeletal knight served, was a hell lord, a Dullahan by profession, whose domain was ten times larger than Japan, with a knightly order of hundreds of thousands.

If she decided to invade Japan, annihilating it would only be a matter of time.

But even such a powerful hell lord was not rare in hell; there were at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand, hell lords like Consnina throughout hell.

And hell lords weaker than Consnina were as numerous as fish in the river.

There were also many lords more powerful than Consnina.

From this, Wang Bo could judge that this strange hell was absolutely stronger than Earth, incomparable in both prestige and status.

Besides this, Wang Bo also discovered a very troublesome thing.

That was, this knight from an unknown hell had appeared here because he had been summoned.

And the summoner was none other than a deceased racing driver.

The captain of the Myogi NIGHT KIDS team, Takeshi Nakazato, who was burned alive in a race when his engine caught fire.

Before dying, this guy sacrificed his soul to summon the Skeleton Knight.

In a sense, Meng Bo's guess was correct.

If it weren't for Takeshi Nakazato, the Skeleton Knight wouldn't have appeared.

Of course, there were still many mysteries, such as why Nakazato, just a racer, knew the incantation to summon a demon, and why he chose to sacrifice his soul and summon the Skeleton Knight at the moment of death.

Or rather, why was he burned alive in the race due to an engine fire?

In the original plot, there was no such scene.

Clearly, someone had altered the plot, or Nakazato had come into contact with someone and learned the incantation, ultimately summoning the Skeleton Knight before dying.

As for why he did it, Wang Bo didn't know.

Because in the Skeleton Knight's memories, it only knew that it was summoned by Nakazato.

As for why Nakazato summoned it, even the Skeleton Knight itself wasn't entirely sure.

Obviously, there must be other reasons, but with Nakazato's death, everything was concealed.

Certain that he couldn't get more information from the Skeleton Knight, Wang Bo raised his hand, grabbed the Skeleton Knight's head, and tried to send it back to hell.

Unfortunately...

[Sorry, host, the one in your hand is a summoner, not a transmigrator, so it cannot be sent back to its original world.]

Hearing this, Wang Bo sighed and smashed the Skeleton Knight into pieces with a single slap.

Meng Bo stepped forward and stood beside Wang Bo, saying, "Why did you kill him?"

"If I don't kill this thing, what's the point of keeping it?" Wang Bo retorted.

"Then what about the people he captured?" Meng Bo said displeasedly, feeling that Wang Bo was too impulsive.

Wang Bo said, "Don't worry, I already know where he hid those people."

"Don't worry, I know where they are."

The Skeleton Knight was summoned by the dead Nakazato and had no way to return to hell, let alone send the captured people there, so it had hidden them somewhere.

Half an hour later, Wang Bo, along with Bunta Fujiwara and Meng Bo, drove for several hours to the place where the Skeleton Knight had hidden the people... an abandoned building.

Earlier, when Wang Bo searched the Skeleton Knight's memories, he found this place.

There were a total of twenty-seven missing members, all here. Among them was Bunta Fujiwara's son, Takumi Fujiwara.

But these people were lying on the ground, all in a deep sleep.

Seeing his son, Bunta Fujiwara quickly walked over, helped him up, and patted Takumi Fujiwara's cheek. "Takumi, Takumi..."

He called softly a few times, but Takumi Fujiwara seemed not to hear, sleeping soundly.

"Takumi, Takumi..." Bunta Fujiwara raised his voice, but Takumi Fujiwara still showed no response.

Slap!

Suddenly, a sharp sound came. Wang Bo turned his head and saw Meng Bo grabbing a man and slapping him roughly across the face. The man's face visibly reddened and swelled.

But even so, the slapped man showed no signs of waking up.
