Chapter 255: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 58

The entire ground around the basement strongly shook as they heard an explosion erupting nearby their residence.

Another blast resonated extremely close, causing the newly acquired house to tremble, and soon after it starts to crumble down.

It was as if there was an earthquake as the house got destroyed.

Even though they were inside the freezer, they could still feel a bit of heat coming from the door. From that, it is evident that their house is currently on fire.

Luckily for them that there are no light materials around the basement that can catch on fire. So, even if things are burning upstairs, it wouldn't do anything to the basement.

"Are you sure we'd be safe in here?" Gilbert felt slightly worried.

"Trust me," Kayn assures. He made sure that the person who triggered the explosion would only create a blast strong enough to affect the surface of the house and not the basement.

The rumbling sound around the house soon came to a stop. Nevertheless, the series of explosions outside still continued.

It lasted for around ten minutes before they stopped hearing the sound of explosions.

"Should we leave now?" Gilbert turned to look at Kayn.

"Someone should get us soon," Kayn smiles. He noticed from his consciousness that a soul had momentarily disappeared before reappearing one more time — it was clearly Seven. The latter seems to have done exactly what he said he would do.

Around two minutes later, they heard someone pulling out the debris that was blocking the entrance of the freezer.

Soon after, the freezer door opened.

"Seven?" Gilbert became surprised.

However, unlike the Seven in the past, the Seven right in front of them had two horizontal slash marks on both of his eyes. The strange marking made him look like a clown.

It was quite evident that Seven purposely carved it himself. As for the reason why, it's perhaps his own way of disguising himself.

"Rest assured, he is now an incredibly devoted member of my future army," Kayn approaches Seven unhesitatingly. "What should I call you now?"

"I prefer to be called Jester,"

"Jester?" Kayn was intrigued and an idea for his future organization surfaced inside his mind. He doesn't want to talk about it yet in case he changes his mind.

ραΠdαsΝοvεl.cοm "Jester… That's a cool name," Gilbert expressed his agreement. "How loyal exactly are you to Kayn?"

"I'll basically die if I try to betray him," Jester describes.

Gilbert turns to Kayn. "What did you do to him?"I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

"I gave him the Undead Apple and a choice," Kayn choose not to tell a lie.

"I thought the Undead Apple only charms people,"

"No, it can revive a dead person and make them your loyal soldier. That's the actual use for the Undead Apple,"

"Did you perhaps use this to extract information from Chief Kody and Chief Kellan back then?" If he remembers correctly, there was a strange marking on the neck of Chief Kellan when they briefly opened the door. The mark was like the latter's head was cut off before getting reattached.

"That's right," Kayn confirmed.

"And what do you mean a choice?" Gilbert was very curious about this part.

"I told you before that a person's choice afterward would determine whether they are loyal to you or not. That's the choice I gave Seven," Kayn looks at Seven. "And as you can see, he proved to me that he is a loyal person,"

"But he just cheated on Maria and betrayed the Assembly of Freedom not long ago," Gilbert found it quite strange. If it was him, he would never believe Seven.

Unbeknownst to Gilbert, Kayn never actually believed Seven even the slightest. He was simply gambling on a chance after hearing Seven talks about some of his past and his desire.

"Do you think I care about that?" Kayn shook his head. Seven's circumstances couldn't bring him any harm even if the latter tried to betray him. "And besides, he can no longer betray me even if he wanted to right now, so it doesn't really matter what he did back then," He is naturally aware of Seven's history. That's why it is called a gamble. Would a cheater and a traitor show loyalty by killing himself?

The result is the only thing that truly matters.

If Seven ran away and chicken out, that would show him that his words amount to nothing, not even a speck of dust.

"I think you should hide and grow your own strength once again until the war is over," Kayn suggested since Seven still can't show himself to Maria and anyone else that recognizes him. Moreover, his strength was cut in half because he is now an Undead. And the best way to increase it is to learn techniques, which only the latter can teach himself as he has no experience of how it is to be an Undead.

"I understand," Seven, who now identifies himself with the new name Jester, nodded in acknowledgment. "Where can I find you?"

"I don't know how the war would go, so there's no way for me to inform you of where I would end up exactly next," Kayn can't guarantee. More importantly, he wants to test Jester's capability.

"Okay," Jester understood the underlying meaning behind Kayn's words.

Jester quickly left before Maria or anyone else comes here.

"Say, if the real ability of the Undead Apple is to revive dead people and make an Undead army, wouldn't it be possible for Wesley to possess one of his own?" Gilbert can't help assuming.

"That's to be expected," Kayn already expected that to happen. Considering Wesley only has one Gift, the latter would no doubt make the best of it.

"An army of loyal soldiers who are unafraid of death…" Gilbert slightly shivers at the thought.

"That's why Old Mayor George's preparation for this war took so long," Kayn knew Old Mayor George is trying his best so that he won't miss anything and even if there is, he is going to be fully prepared to face them.
