RIPPER SYSTEM

Chapter 12: Getting Captured?

I was then caged into the same spot as these people kept the rest of the skeletons they had captured. I was so surprised that these people actually caught many skeletons and put them in a cage.

I tried to talk with my fellow skeletons but none of the skeletons here was replying back to me.

"Are you dumb? I am talking with you…" I pushed one of the skeletons in front of me as I felt a little bit irritated that all of them were ignoring me.

The skeletons didn't react at all as all of them began to stare at me with their dead eyes. I don't why the skeletons just stare at me. Do all of them don't have any intelligence at all?

I am sure that all of these skeletons do have some intelligence, as the monster before did tell me there was an undead king in this world. It would be impossible for the undead king to rule all of the undead type monsters if they don't have even a tiny bit of intelligence.

How could all of the undead monsters unite under the undead king then? It must be that these skeletons here were playing dumb or do not wanted to interact with me at all.

"If you guys still don't want to talk! All of you will be killed and remember that you will never be able to resurrect once again." I said that as I hope it provokes the skeletons here.

As I expected, the skeletons do have the ability to talk and it was really true that the skeleton here was ignoring me.

"Do you think I would be scared of your intimidation? You're the one who will die first if you ever lay a hand on any of the skeletons here." One of the skeletons said that.

It was pretty hard for me to tell which were the skeletons that said all of that stuff towards me. They all looked the same and I was in a group when those words were said to me.

"Oh! We will see but I am not in the mood of killing anyone right now… so consider yourself lucky as you will be able to survive." I said that to the mysterious skeleton.

The mysterious skeleton didn't reply back as it was his identity to be hidden. I also didn't bother to look for him even though I know that the skeleton would be easily detected.

As there are many things that I wanted to do such as asking these skeletons some questions. I began to think about what I should ask them first. Should I ask them about the undead king or the reason why they were being captured?

It didn't take many seconds for me to decide which one I should ask. Obviously, about the undead king, of course, who gives the fuck about their reason for being captured. All I wanted to know now was about the Undead King and where he was right now.

"There were some questions that I wanted to ask. I know that I said I wasn't in the mood of killing but if no one answers my question… I am sure that some of the skeletons here would turn into some piles of bones." I say that as I began to ask about the undead king.

"You didn't know about the undead king? What're you… even a human knew the undead king and feared him." One of the skeletons said that as he moves forwards out of the group.

"Well… I wasn't the type to pay much attention to what happens globally, but this undead king has piqued my interest. Was the undead king strong?" I ask the skeleton.

"Strong!? Of course, the Undead King was strong… If not, he wouldn't have the title and knows even some famous heroes died by the hand of our Undead King." The skeleton said that.

"That's good but do you know where the Undead King is right now? I really would like to see the Undead King…"

"Are you trolling me? Who doesn't know that information unless you're not dead creatures?"

"I might but who knows… Just tell me where the Undead King and I would leave you skeletons all alone or might even free you from this magic cage." I said towards the skeletons here.

"Lies! There's no way you could release us from this cage. This cage was imbued with human magics that make the undead creatures unable to use any kind of spell."

"It may apply to you but sadly not me, this magic that you said is far too weak for me."

Another skeleton then stepped up in front, "So you're saying that you could undo the human magic that has been applied to this cage… interesting but how would you do that as even our lich here couldn't do it."

"HAHAHA! Of course, the lich can't do it… it requires much more than being a lich to be able to undo this magic."

"Do you mean that you're greater than a lich then?"

"Of course, I might be even greater than the Undead King itself," I said that as all of the skeletons here began to give me a glare of death.

They must be pissed as I said that I am more powerful than the Undead King. Even though I had not met the Undead King yet, I am confident that the Undead King was weaker than me. I am on the level which only God could give me a real challenge.

Other than Gods, it wouldn't be that intense at all. I definitely could kill anyone in just one hit but there's no fun in doing that. I wanted my opponent to feel fear and despair as they're begging for their life with me. That way would be more enjoyable.

"This skeleton is bluffing, getting caught by the humans and yet telling us he was more powerful than the undead king… This skeleton should get the title of Bluff King." The skeleton said.

"Suit yourself then. I guess I would find some other undead creatures to help me." After I said that, I held the cage bar with my hand and just bent it and freed myself out of there.

The other skeletons looked in, surprised and were about to leave the cage, but I fixed it back. There's no use to let them out if they don't want to help me. It's better to let them suffer in that cage. I even cast another layer of magics that reinforce the cage even more.

"Let us out!" The skeletons said.

"No, I do not feel like doing that anymore… I am not in the mood to free anyone right now. I am too busy trying to find someone that could help me locate the Undead King."

"Let us out! We would tell you" The skeletons said.

I simply walked away from there as I did not even turn back even once. It's time for me to find any monster that also traps here that could help me. Of course, they would help me. These monsters will do anything for me if I help them out of the cages.

"How could you escape!? I saw you get captured by the human just now… why are you already out from the cage."

It was a familiar voice as I looked at the monster. I realised that it was the monster that I met when I first arrived here.

"Are you listening? If you are, please help me get out of here… I would do surely help you with anything." The monster said that.

"Hmmm… Let me think for a second." I said that.

I wasn't even thinking at all. It was apparent that I would not be freeing him even if the monster wanted to do anything for my sake.
