I BECAME A SKULL IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH THE LABYRINTH MASTER'S WORK.
CHAPTER 254: THE ARRIVAL OF ANOTHER GUEST
"Crazy! Is this Locke crazy? He did not even hesitate to kill his own son! Wait, maybe Locke didn't think of Elos as his son at all, but Elos was just a shadow created from the original figure of Locke and Myro! What's really in Locke's head? Does he not have the slightest concern for Elos?", cried Elos who could not accept that Locke did not care for him.
Not only that, Locke is also very strict to tell Grica to kill Elos if he is controlled. This makes Ruler of Death or Ruler of Life wonder what kind of person Locke is, he does not hesitate to let his son die.
"You may think Mr. Locke is cruel, but this is the best way to let Young Master Elos continue to be in pain due to your pressure! Not to mention that you guys always tried to kill the fellows as well as the followers of Young Master Elos, I'm sure he's also not interested in finding all his comrades dead at the hands of himself", said Grica who pointed her scythe towards Elos' skull "Therefore, I am in charge of killing you!".
After that Grica slashed her scythe without hesitation towards Elos' head.
As her scythe got closer to Elos, Grica suddenly recalled something.
...----------------...
"Grica, why are you here? My father told me that the whole council could attend this party, rather you 17 councils are the main guests at this party. Why are you in the palace courtyard? The other councils were already in the palace hall" said Elos, who still had a human body, precisely when Elos was before being sent to the world of the Master of the Labyrinth.
Grica who always wore her black robe immediately came down from her seat, she slightly bowed respectfully "It turns out Young Master Elos, don't mind this Grica! Grica's hand was already too bloody compared to the other councilors, so Grica was not at all suited to be at this party. Not only that, Grica's existence will only damage Mr. Locke's reputation, it's better for me to stay here. While Young Master Elos could go to the party room, everyone else would have been waiting there".
"Who said that your hands were full of blood?", asked Elos curiously.
"Everyone, even Mr. Locke! He said that I was a shadow, tasked with killing all his enemies secretly. As a shadow then I must not shine, even I cannot draw too much attention, if that happens then Mr. Locke says he himself will kill me. The job of a bloody shadow like me is to stay hidden, if I stay close to Mr. Locke then people might say something bad about Mr. Locke" Grica said.
"Then I will also remain here with you" said Elos, sitting on an empty chair.
"Young Master Elos, it's not good for you to be with me! If others see us together, maybe bad news about you caring for a murderer might spread! It wasn't nice to be with a guy like me who already had a lot of blood on his hands" said Grica, who immediately stopped Elos.
Elos stood up from his chair and holding Grica's hand, he looked at the top and bottom of Grica's hand before saying "Where's the blood, I don't see any blood on your hand at all! Grica, my position is higher than yours so you don't have the authority to make me leave! Moreover, in my eyes then you are not bleeding at all, but rather just a beautiful young lady standing in front of me right now".
Grica who was behind the cloak opened her eyes wide in disbelief, no one had ever supported her and mentioned that her hands were not bleeding, after all there were too many people that Grica killed in the days when there was still a rebellion against Locke.
Not to mention that he thought of her as a woman, perhaps only Elos thought of her as such.
Elos sat back in his chair smiling "So, do you mind talking to me here until the party is over, Grica?".
"You're really stupid, Young Master Elos!", muttered Grica in a small voice, then he sat down in front of Elos "But because of such foolishness Grica doesn't mind accompanying you".
...----------------...
He tried to slash the scythe again, but no matter how hard Grica tried, he could not push the scythe forward.
A bitter smile was seen from Grica's robe "Master Locke, it seems that I cannot do the task you gave me, I do not have the strong enough determination to kill Young Master Elos! I might be able to kill anyone without hesitation, even the other young master. But for Young Master Elos then I can't do it".
When Grica lost her attention, the body of Elos who lost her head was already standing behind her.
Elos' body raised his fist and tried to hit Grica's neck, as long as it hit her then Grica might die.
Grica is also surprised by the attack, however she focuses too much attention on Elos's head which leaves her unaware that Elos' body can move without a head.
As Elos's fist was about to hit him, the figure of a woman appeared beside Grica.
The woman moved her magic wand before saying "The wind blade".
"Dash!".
Dozens of blades of wind flew from the lady's spear which cut Elos' headless body into pieces.
He might only use the basic magic of the wind blades, but he could defeat Elos easily which showed that his strength was very strong.
The woman stared at Grica after defeating Elos "Don't ever lower your guard before the fight is really over, has Locke never taught you this?".
The surprised Grica looks towards the origin of the sound to find a woman with pointed ears which means that she is an elf, she has long golden hair and a wooden stick that reads "Glory" on that stick.
Staring at this woman, Grica said hesitantly "Luri?".
This woman named Luri was a little surprised at Grica's reply "You know me? Who would have thought that Locke had allowed his followers to get to know me, it seemed like he was trying to hunt me down!".
Grica pointed her scythe towards Luri before coldly saying "Why are you here? I was told by Mr. Locke that you are no longer friends, you can even be said to be enemies to Elos! Why are you here?".
"Don't be so scary when I come here to help you" said Luri smiling unconcernedly, she wasn't even afraid of Grica's scythe "Can't you return the controlled Elos or kill him? Therefore, I came here to help you guys".
