Bone King: Starting from Becoming the Supreme

boom! ! !

A huge bombardment struck, the dark room shook violently, and a beam of dazzling yet warm sunlight shone in and fell on Clementine's face.

That beam of light seemed to remind her of many years ago.

He was caught during a mission and was also locked up in a dark cell, where he was abused all day long.

At that time, there was also a beam of light shining in from the gap in the corner of the wall.

She lay on the ground, praying to God, praying that she could be saved.

However, in the end, no one came to rescue her.

Smoke and dust rose up, and the cockroaches disappeared in an instant as if they had seen something terrible.

The monster, which was only thirty centimeters tall, looked at the door, and the tentacles on its forehead kept swaying and trembling, as if it was afraid of something.

"Who are you?"

A tall figure walked out gracefully from the smoke and dust.

Under the warm sunlight, that figure seemed to be filled with holy light in Clementine's eyes.

Her pupils had shrunk to the size of a pinhole.

He stretched out his right hand slowly and laboriously, trying to touch the light.

“God… Lord God, are you… finally… willing… to come and save me…?”

"God...Master..."

The tall man glanced at him, stretched out his left hand to take off his mask, and slowly raised his right hand.

boom!

With a snap of the fingers, the 30-centimeter insect monster that was originally standing in place instantly flew backwards and crashed heavily into the wall!

Clementine, lying on the ground, began to breathe rapidly, and her pupils regained their brightness.

She saw hope in that person.

That was the ray of light she had been praying for for more than ten years but had never waited for.

Now, there is finally a ray of light of salvation.

At her most desperate moment, the hero she had fantasized about countless times appeared!

boom! !

However, even with such a powerful blow, the insect monster did not suffer any substantial damage.

He used the force to jump back a long distance, with a look of vigilance on his face.

"This is... such a powerful force. You, no, you! Who are you?"

"Me? I'm just an adventurer who's interested in adventure. Can I take this little girl with me?"

“Hehehe… The request of a strong man is always hard to refuse. However, she is a test subject of our Nazarick. Are you sure you want to become an enemy of our Nazarick just because of this little human girl?”

Upon hearing this, Clementine immediately looked at the blond man, and fear rose in her heart again.

This blond man is very strong.

However, the power of that undead monster was beyond her understanding.

Would this man really offend such a powerful monster just for himself, who is of no use to him?

If it were a normal person, there would be only one choice.

no, do not want……

Please...please...don't abandon me...

I don’t want to be abandoned anymore…

She opened her mouth and tears unconsciously wet her eyes.

But in the end, these words could not be said.

Because she knew that she had no right to say such words.

Even her biological parents could abandon her without hesitation.

Even if someone who has nothing to do with her really abandons her, she cannot complain.

however.

"Haha...hahahaha..."

After hearing this, the blond man suddenly burst into laughter.

The look he gave the insect monster was as if he was looking down on a dying insect.

The bug monster didn't get angry, but asked in confusion.

"I don't know why you are laughing."

"You are not qualified to ask me questions. Please leave. I am in a good mood today and will spare your life. Just live a miserable life with gratitude in your heart."

The bug monster was silent for two seconds, and finally sighed.

He glanced at Clementine on the ground and disappeared quietly.

Yashiro walked towards Clementine and casually threw out a white blanket with magical functions from his backpack.

"How's it going? Can you still leave?"

"..."

Clementine did not answer him, but just looked at him silently - the man who pulled her out of despair.

Yashiro sighed helplessly, walked over and wrapped her in the blanket, tying it in a knot.

Then he picked up the knot with one hand and lifted her up like a plastic bag.

Then, the magic - <Portal> was activated.

……

Another two days later.

Yashiro looked at Clementine, who was silent and dazed sitting on the bed, and smiled bitterly in his heart.

Two days had passed since he rescued Clementine.

However, during this time, Clementine's personality has changed considerably.

From the original madness and unruliness to the current quietness and silence.

God knows whether she was mentally tortured to the point of having problems during those two days.

"that……"

Just as Yashiro was also staring out the window in a daze.

Clementine had been staring at him since she didn't know when.

she asked cautiously.

"Can you tell me...your name?"

Yashiro looked confused, but still said his name.

"Yashiro."

"Is that so? Master Yashiro, I have a favor to ask of you. I hope you will grant my permission."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"From now on, please allow me to serve you by your side, whether I am your sword, your shield, or your tool. No matter what I do, even if you want me to die, I will never hesitate for a moment."

"…Even if I ask you to go back and fight that powerful undead, will you go?"

"Yes, if that's what you want."

"That's it."

Yashiro stood up, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised in a subtle arc.

"From today on, your name is 'Xueli', which means blood-stained jasmine."

Clementine, no, now she should be called 'Xueli', immediately knelt on one knee and responded to her master with the most pious voice in her heart.

"Xueli, thank you for the name, Master."

……

There are all kinds of monsters scattered on the rugged mountain road.

Monsters that grow in such places have the ability to find prey and sense danger in harsh environments.

It is precisely because these monsters are too difficult to deal with that very few caravans passing through here can escape unscathed.

However, even in such a dangerous area, two figures were walking in the middle of the road.

Clementine vigilantly observed the monsters around her.

However, she soon discovered something was wrong.

In the past, those ferocious monsters were now all concentrated in an area one kilometer away.

Not only did no monsters attack them.

On the contrary, most of the monsters seemed to be crawling on the ground, trembling.

"This……"

Clementine looked at her master.

The monsters here have an unusually keen sense of smell.

In addition to finding prey, it also has an excellent ability to sense danger.

In other words, could the master make all these monsters surrender simply by relying on the aura he exudes?

This is...how powerful it is!

She took back her bone knife, and a hint of loneliness appeared in her heart.

I thought I could perform well today, at least let my master see my contribution.

But now it seems that her existence doesn't seem to have much meaning.

After walking for a long distance, Yashiro stopped.

"There seems to be a fruit tree over there. Let's go over there and take a rest."

"Yes."

The two came under the fruit tree.

Yashiro picked the fruits with a curious look on his face. Most of them were unripe. He took a bite, found it too sour, and threw it away immediately.

Clementine watched her master picking fruit and asked the question she had always wanted to ask.

"Master Yashiro, the mountain roads here are rugged. Since we are going to the Dragon Kingdom, wouldn't it be more convenient to use the <Flying> magic?"

"Flying magic? Haha, I'm an adventurer. If I fly over so fast that I can't even see the scenery along the way, wouldn't that mean I won't have any sense of adventure at all?"

"I see... But, are you really going to become an enemy of that monster?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. If we meet again, there will be a battle sooner or later. However, it is precisely because of this that we have to go to the Dragon Kingdom and develop our own strength in advance."

"I'm sorry...it's all my fault..."

"It's over. There's no point in thinking about it. Instead of constantly blaming yourself, you should think about what you can do."

"...Yes, Xueli understands."
