Chapter 638: Chapter 344 The Most Treasured Thing_3

The living and the dead, even if made up similarly for burial, are still easily distinguishable. There was no sign of life on this person, and so Red Sleeve knew at first glance that this was a corpse.

The problem was, without any magical power supporting him, a dead man had astonishingly ’come to life’, blocking her chain sword?

Lin Xue stared blankly at the figure that had appeared in front of her. The figure blocking her now was the body of her grandmother.

Everything happening in front of her was just like the day she and Mu You first entered the door; her grandmother appeared suddenly in her moment of danger, helping her fend off the Snow Monster.

However, at that time, with their help, her grandmother regained her youthful body, able to easily withstand the strength of the Snow Monster, and toyed with the enemy in the palm of her hand.

But now, all that was left was her old, decrepit body, no longer possessing the speed she once took pride in. She could only use her physical body as a shield, directly blocking the attack for her.

Looking at the thin, stooped body pierced before her eyes, Lin Xue didn’t realize when her face had become covered with tears.

A real corpse, of course, could not revive without reason. The reason it would suddenly resurrect now was that inside the body in front of her, a weak residue of the soul still existed.

That day on the snowy plain, Lin Xue had told Mu You and Vivian that after her grandmother’s remnant soul taught her how to use the sickle, it completely disappeared. But in fact, she lied. The remnant soul did not disappear, but instead become incredibly weak and went dormant in the deepest part of the body.

She didn’t tell anyone about this, she even lied to herself and buried this fact deep in her subconscious. Because she knew back then, the purpose of her grandmother leaving two remnants of her soul was to help her control the sickle and to obtain something even more important in the future. Her grandmother had paved all the paths for her before her death. Therefore, when the last remaining soul fragment woke up again, it would truly be time for her to say goodbye to her grandmother.

So Lin Xue had always been running away, running away from the arrival of this day, but some things, you can’t avoid no matter how much you want to.

Previously, her constant subconscious anxiety was because she understood deep down that the real day of farewell was about to arrive...

At this moment, the part of the body that was pierced by the chains had started to display purple bruise-like marks spreading quickly around it.

And both of the corpse’s hands slowly lifted, left and right, gripping the chains on its chest.

Upon witnessing the old woman’s movements, Red Sleeve snapped back to her senses. In her haste, she tried to pull out the chains.

However, despite her vigorous tugging, the chains remained unmoved. The old hands were like iron clamps, tightly holding onto her chains.

Red Sleeve instantly grew anxious, propped up her legs against the mountain wall, and tried even harder to pull backwards.

Finally, her desperation seemed to have an effect, but instead of pulling out the chains, she pulled the floating body along with the chains towards herself.

Red Sleeve stumbled back several steps and fell to the ground. Before she had time to get up, she saw the body flying directly toward her, ultimately landing on top of her.

"Hmm..."

Red Sleeve let out a stifled groan, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.

Previously, she had thought that this was just an ordinary body. However, it was only after feeling the pressure of the body did she realize: why is this body so heavy?

Glancing over, she saw that the body wasn’t merely lying on top of her. Both of its hands had deeply penetrated the ground, locking her firmly in place like a human buckle. She was unable to move at all.

Instinctively trying to push the body away, Red Sleeve suddenly heard a sound from the opposite direction. Glancing over, she saw that Lin Xue had already gotten up and was swiftly picking up the sickle on the ground.

Red Sleeve was startled and instinctively thought that Lin Xue was planning to attack her. She hastily fumbled her Magic Wand out from her ring to prepare for defense.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xue didn’t look at her at all after getting up and without turning her head even once, ran straight ahead.

"Hey, wait a minute..."

Red Sleeve was startled, then it dawned on her. Lin Xue was planning to take this opportunity to go straight for the legacy!

Lin Xue didn’t need to fight her at all. As long as she got hold of the Grim Reaper’s legacy, Red Sleeve as the losing competitor would naturally die. And it wouldn’t just be her, but also her unborn child...

"You’ve got to be kidding!"

Red Sleeve, both frantic and furious, realized that this was the real life-or-death moment. She couldn’t afford to waste time here.

Pushing desperately with both hands had no effect. Though Grandma Lin Xue was a corpse, she still had the robust constitution of her past time as a Legendary Level, and wasn’t so easy to destroy.

Seeing that pushing was useless, Red Sleeve hastily reached behind the corpse and yanked the chain that had penetrated the old woman’s back. The tip of the blade pointed downward, and she continually stabbed around the old woman’s body.

"Damn..."

"You old thing, get out of my way..."

"Why should I let you cause my child, and myself... to die here..."

With each puncture, the purple necrotic patches on the old woman’s body grew more numerous. Red Sleeve, pushing herself to the limit, finally began to feel the corpse on top of her getting lighter.

Listening to the continuous curses and the sound of the blade puncturing flesh behind her, Lin Xue’s tears silently slid down her face.

Even though her heart felt like it was being twisted, her feet remained firm as they stepped over the countless bones on the ground, rushing towards the Skeleton Throne at full speed.
