The method Clover mentioned dealing with Boot naturally involved using the obelisk. The obelisk was a top-tier soul artifact that could be used to absorb and refine the souls and life-force of living beings before purifying it for further use.
This artifact naturally had a suppressive effect on the souls of living beings and it was especially effective when used against undead creatures. That was why when clover revealed a trace of the obelisks aura from his body, Boot's had felt a terrible feeling from his soul and he had been greatly frightened.
Unfortunately, although the obelisk had a natural advantage over souls, it could be used to interrogate the souls that were captured in it, and it wasn't an artifact that specialized in torturing souls. Its only function was to refine and purify souls so other living beings could absorb them in order to increase the strength of their own souls and lengthen their life spans without any side effects.
If Clover intended t
Clover ignored Boot's ramblings and directly asked Ktulu if what he said was true. Not daring to delay, Ktulu quickly answered, "Everything I say is the truth and nothing but the truth. If I lie, may my soul forever wander the void, unable to find rest!"Ktulu swore an oath that he was telling the truth. He felt that this was the only way to assure Clover of his sincerity.Clover ignored the oath Ktulu made. He pointed at boot who was still rambling like a madman and asked once again, "You say you know the location of the treasures and he says that there is nobody except him who knows the location of the treasures. Who am I supposed among the two of you now?""Do you think swearing on your soul is enough to convince me that you're telling the truth? Come to think of it, you're very suspicious too. Why didn't you come out when I asked all of you previously and it was only when I was about to kill you all that you decided to show up? Do you think I am easy to fool
Clover was, of course, only scaring Ktulu, and he didn't have the intention of killing him. At least not anymore and not now. If it turns out that Ktulu was just lying to save his own skin, it was not too late for Clover to kill him then.Looking at the pitiful Ktulu that was cutting a sorry figure and begging to be spare, Clover finally put away the ball of energy in his hand to calm him down. It would be a pity if this person broke down due to fear before he could tell him the location of the treasures."Alright, you can stop begging now. I have decided to temporarily spare you, so you'd better cherish this kindness and obediently tell me the location of the treasure. Depending on your answer, if I like what I hear, I might just allow you to follow me from now on. That means I won't have to kill you, and not only that, if you perform well for me in the future, I will not mistreat you. Your life would definitely be better than it is now as a lowly pirate. do I make my
Clover took a very good look at Ktulu for the first time and he reevaluated his previous expression of him in his mind before.How was this a boorish pirate that knew nothing but killing and plundering?Ktulu was obviously a skilled person who could definitely make an honest living with his ability. How did he end up like this in the first place?Clover was puzzled, but he put that question aside for the moment. Instead, he quickly praised Ktulu for a job well done."Well-done Ktulu... you have made me very surprised. I didn't know you were so skillful. You don't look like it at all, and you really had me fooled."After saying that, clover turned to look at boot who was still silent at the moment.Clover could not see his face, so he didn't know what his expression was like. But from the way his body was trembling forcefully, Boot was clearly enraged.He didn't seem to be able to hold himself back anymore, and he immediately started t
"Yes, it is indeed very pitiful," Clover replied to Ktulu."In fact, after hearing your story, I believe you have more of a grudge with your former boss here than I do. Although he tried to rob and kill me, which is unforgivable, and he has to die, compared to you whose life had been completely derailed by him, mine grievance with him pales in comparison.""That's why I think you should be the one to kill him!" Clover said finally."Eh!"Ktulu was surprised... he could wrap his head around what Clover was saying."what do you mean, Lord?" Ktulu asked doubtfully, as he couldn't believe what he had heard just now."I mean exactly what I just said. You should be the one to kill him. It is just right since your grievance with him outweighs mine by a lot. So go on, I won't interfere at all. I will just watch from over here... or would you like me to hold him down for you?"Hearing lover's words again, Ktulu could finally believe that what
With the death of boot and the rest of the pirates, it put an end in this short episode of Clover's journey through the green river middle realm. Next, clover needed to fix the 'Going Broke' and set a course for the Houndclaw Space Station.Clover flew back to his spaceship while Ktulu followed behind him. Now that Ktulu had killed boot, he was very relaxed, as if a load had been taken off his shoulder. But when he thought about how he would be serving Clover from now on, Ktulu started to become nervous even more.This couldn't be helped... after spending many years with the Turk pirates and scheming to bring Boot down, Ktulu had cultivated a cautious personality and he always liked to overthink things a lot. Just like now, Ktulu was thinking about what kind of master Clover would be, and if he had any special habits and hobbies. He also wondered what his temper was like if Clover was easy-going or quick to get angry and if he would suddenly strike him dead should Ktul
Just as Clover ordered, Ktulu stayed in a corner and didn't move at all. He didn't dare to! The only thing Ktulu could do was watch Clover as he worked on preparing the ship.In the end, Ktulu realized that Clover really didn't need his help at all. He was fully capable of fixing the ship on his own.As a cosmic Lifeform, Clover's strength was extraordinary, and he didn't need to fear going into space with his body at all. Unlike Ktulu who would need a spacesuit to be able to breathe in space and protect him from the cosmic and radioactive energies in space which would be very troublesome, Clover could just head out with his bare body to fix the external part of the ship that needed repairs.There was also Trudy who could run multiple calculations at the same time to repair and improve the core systems of the ship that had suffered damage and she could also carry out automated repairs on the ship by herself. As long as there were materials to use for the repairs
After Clover took a look at Ktulu, who was huddled in a corner outside the control room, he quickly ignored him and continued going on his way. When he reached the door of the control room, Ktulu finally noticed Clover, and he quickly straightened up and greeted him."Welcome back, my lord!""Hmm," Clover simply nonchalantly grunted in response before he entered the control room through the open door.With a swish, the control room door closed once again, blocking Ktulu outside. Ktulu could only sigh in exasperation at Clover's cold and nonchalant attitude towards him. Still, since there was nothing he could do, Ktulu could only suck it up and continue waiting outside the door.Inside the room, Clover was also sighing as he was a bit helpless about Ktulu's matter. It wasn't that Clover was being deliberately cold towards Ktulu. it was just that he didn't know what to do with him.Initially, bringing Ktulu on board his ship was just so he could tell
"Trudy, set a course for the Houndclaw space station. It's time to find a place to land this ship," Clover instructed."Yes, Clover... already done. We just have to wait for a little time while I contain the remaining energy that leaked out of the core reactor," Trudy said."In the meantime, you look like you have a lot on your mind, Clover... may I ask what is bothering you?"Clover was surprised when he heard Trudy say this. Suddenly, he let out a wry smile as he said to Trudy."So you were able to notice... is it really that obvious?""No Clover, it isn't," Trudy replied."A person who doesn't know you well would not be able to notice if something was bothering you. But for those who are very familiar with you, they will be able to tell at a glance. That is why I was able to notice."Sigh!Clover sighed at Trudy's response. He did not answer immediately, but instead stayed at the ceiling of the control room as he organized h
