I BECAME A SKULL IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH THE LABYRINTH MASTER'S WORK.

CHAPTER 8: THE ODDITY

In the middle of the forest where most of the trees were dead, a skull walked with the beautiful woman towards a direction.

When the skull found the body in the middle of the road, he approached the corpse to retrieve all the valuable objects on the body of the corpse.

"This is the 77th corpse" said the skull which was Elos while the woman accompanying him was Riona.

Before leaving, Elos had already allowed Riona to fly and search for the whereabouts of the nearest city. Now they have been walking for several days towards the city, fortunately Elos is a skull that does not need to eat and Riona is a fallen angel who can refrain from not eating for several days.

In addition to no need for food anymore, Elos who has become a skull does not need to sleep at all or feel tired due to walking long distances, this made Elos feel that he was far from being human.

During this journey, they have not found 1 living creature, even they found a lot of corpses that made Elos decide to look for valuables from these corpses.

Most of their weapons were already rusted which made Elos unable to wear them anymore, but Elos could still take out some bronze or silver coins which were most likely the currency in this world. They also found another robe of the dead bodies, although this robe was only a rank 0 robe that was a normal robe but at least Riona could wear it because some of her clothes were already burnt so that the robe could cover herself so that no one else would know about her burning clothes a tad.

"Sir, don't you feel weird? All living things in this forest are dead, not even 1 tree is alive. Not only that, there are a lot of bodies that we found on the street, but we don't have any problems here. So what exactly makes these people die? Are there any terrifying monsters here or poison? If there really is something like that then why don't we get poisoned or find the monster?", asked Riona who was full of curiosity from the beginning, this place is too strange that makes Riona suspicious.

Elos, who had taken the money from the corpse, said, "Are you interested in hearing what I've been thinking?".

Riona nodded, she knew that Elos was an intelligent person so she was very interested in listening to Elos view on the matter.

"Most likely this place is filled with poison, maybe some kind of poison that has a death element or something similar. Therefore this poison has no effect on us, I am a skull that makes my resistance to poison quite high. As for you, you have already obtained the characteristics of my death strength, this makes you have quite a strong resistance to the death poison around", said Elos who started walking again towards the city that Riona had appointed earlier.

Riona's eyes shone when listening to Elos' idea, she had to admit that this Elos was very intelligent. Though they had just met in another world which caused their information about this world to be very small, but Elos could already think of a possibility that sounded right.

Seeing Elos who had gotten further away, Riona ran to chase after Elos again. Although she had turned into a skull, Riona felt that Elos had not changed. Not only did Elos not change, but his feelings for Elos were still the same.

...----------------...

Despite his worries, Elos still walks towards the city wall with Riona.

It seems that the place where Elos and Riona came to was only a small town, so there was no giant stone wall protecting the city but only a wooden fence that served as a wall to protect the city.

At the wooden gate of the city were several guards wearing leather armor, the soldiers were seen sitting and talking to each other in the guard room of the city gate regardless of the guard they were supposed to take.

Elos took a breath and tried to walk towards the city gate, but as they passed through the city gate then the guard who was not working before suddenly shouted "Son, wait! the 2 robed people there stopped first!".

Elos' body froze, he stopped moving with Riona and his heart was already filled with worry. Were they caught which made the guard stop them from ascertaining their identity?

The guard walked up to Elos while looking at his face "Have you just come here? It seems that you are an adventurer, yes it is not at all important. You are new so do not understand the rules, to pass through the city gate then have to pay 2 bronze for each person. So you have to pay 4 bronze coins to come to the city".

Hearing this, Elos threw away his worries. It turned out that this guard stopped them only for money to pass through the gate, not for being suspicious of those wearing robes.

Fortunately Elos had already taken some bronze coins from the corpse on the road, he took 4 bronze coins and gave them to the guard.

Looking at the bronze coin in his hand, the guard's face became even more friendly "Thank you for paying the master's tax, now you can go to the city. You are an adventurer so if you are looking for an adventurer guild then their location is located to the left of the city. Although this city was quite behind the other big cities, but the adventurer guild here was not inferior to the adventurer guilds in the big city. They prepared tasks for adventurers, cheap inns to places to eat, the master did not have to worry about his stay during his stay in this city with the help of the adventurer guild".

Elos nodded indicating that he understood, the guard also returned to where his comrades were standing guard while talking and laughing again.

"Master, do we have to go to the adventurer guild? There will be the best place to find information" said Riona who thought about the guard's words earlier, the place to eat is the best place to find information. Not to mention adventurers were people who went to various places to fight monsters or perform tasks, the information they had was definitely overwhelming. At least much more than the residents of the city who only work in the fields or guard the city gates every day.

"Alright, let's go there to find information. In addition we can try to be adventurers as well to learn more about this world" said Elos who has determined the next step.

He could try to become an adventurer in order to increase his rank as well as find out more about this world, however the adventurers had to go to various places to complete the tasks of the guild.
