Just when Baldy Kris thought that he would soon be reunited with his deceased friends of old, a large hand suddenly appeared behind the robed man's head. The robed man did not notice it until it grabbed him from behind and lifted him off the ground. The hand slid down to the robed man's neck, and before he could let out a scream, the hand twisted; and the robed man's neck was broken.
Baldy Kris felt a chill run down his spine. 'Hell no; there's someone even more ruthless?!'
The hand tossed the corpse aside, and Baldy Kris found himself looking at Baiyi. The soul armature gazed at Baldy Kris with an indifferent expression, then he raised a finger and pointed it at Baldy. Before the Great Sage could react, a jet of water shot out of Baiyi's finger and sprayed his face.
"First, wipe that face," Baiyi advised.
TL’S MUSINGS:
Seriously! The Northerners are acting like the scrappies* here! I mean, basically, all of them are greedy, but only these warriors had been portrayed as equal arseholes to absolutely everyone else!
*Google “TV Tropes: Scrappy” for an in-depth explanation
I did feel a bit for Roland. I actually uttered out “Dude….” while translating that part! After all, when you grow up to a certain age, you might get to experience That Tremble he had. You know... Stuffing back whatever had shaken you to your core forcefully, not letting those emotions flood out? And then pretending to be all giddy and happy and telling jokes again?
Man, I really gotta say this: That’s a politician-class d*ck move you have there, Baiyi. I gotta agree with your Evil (TM) Voidwalker friends… You can be a hypocrite sometimes!
