Chapter 140: Quest Complete And Back Outside

Quest Complete And Back Outside

[Ace POV],

If it had been before, I would have turned to see what it was since I knew it had to be a notification from the primordial chronicle, but I couldn't because it appeared that the oil puppeteer had something planned for me even before it died.

Who would have guessed that the oil puppeteer's body would explode just as my blade made contact with him?

This creature knew he was going to die, and he didn't want to go down alone, so he tried to drag me along with him.

His blood was also not the expected red, but rather black. It's even unclear how he managed to explode his body in the first place.

Fortunately, I was quick enough to escape the area where the explosion would have caused more damage, as I avoided coming into contact with the strange black blood of the oil puppeteer.
