Interesting, Tafel said and stroked her chin. She looked Gaegukja Yeol directly in the eyes. So, youre saying if I mastered flaming martial arts, Id be able to defeat a dragon?
Yes, Gaegukja Yeol said, nodding her head. Using flaming martial arts, my father reached the ninety-fifth floor of the tower. Even though he never slew a dragon, only people capable of accomplishing such a feat can pass the ninety-first floor. It stands to reason hed have been able to defeat one.
Oh? Tafel raised an eyebrow. I thought you said Deowi was the strongest explorer of your clan.
My father perished on the ninety-fifth floor, Gaegukja Yeol said. One day, he went off on a mission, and then, he never returned. Months later the clan fractured, and Deowi was scammed of our inheritance by our relatives. After we lost everything, Deowi and I created the Extreme Heat Clan to climb the tower.
Oh, sorry for your loss, Tafel said and scratched her head.
Gaegukja Yeol shook her head. Dont worry about it, she said. Although my father may have perished, that doesnt mean flaming martial arts is weak. We dont know what his situation was like at the time. She shrugged. Would you like me to teach you?
Are you sure I can learn it? Tafel asked. I know my flames are strong, but Im not made of fire like you and Deowi.
Earlier, Joe said before clearing his throat. Earlier, you said Id learn to control this body more easily under the threat of death. As an undead, I can still die?
What? The tower has never had you kill a zombie or skeleton before? Lindyss asked, raising an eyebrow. If theres nothing around to save your soul like an environment conducive to preserving souls or a magic spell trapping your soul in a phylactery, its quite obvious youd die if your bodys destroyed.
Joe fell silent. If you were going to let her attack me to display the abilities of flaming martial arts, shouldnt you have let her destroy my old body first? he asked and pointed at the corpse wrapped in bandages on the ground with his scaled arm. Also, is this a leg or an arm?
It used to be a leg, Lindyss said, but I modified the bones a bit so itll function more like an arm. I added a thumb for it, see?
Joe brought the scaled hand up to his face. One of the digits, the thumb, had scales of a different color. He bent it before straightening it, repeating the action a few times. Then, Joe glanced down at his chest. You were very creative with the limbs and heads, so why is the torso a regular humans?
Lindyss rolled her eyes. Youre going to wear armor, arent you? Why would I bother being detailed on a part that isnt even going to be seen? She placed her hands on her hips. Youre awfully picky for someone who obtained a free body. There are tens of thousands of skeletons back on Erde whod be beyond grateful to me if I did something like this for them.
There was a cracking sound as the grassy spiders abdomen opened up. Vur sat up straight and looked around before his eyes focused on Joe. Vurs gaze lingered on the tentacle before shifting to the scorpions tail. A furrow appeared on his brow, and he turned towards Lindyss. Why is he made of food?
A dark expression appeared on all three of Joes faces.
