Chapter 504 504: The Void Express V
Cole blinked a couple of times as he focused on his body. It had healed! He looked at his right arm, or what used to be his right arm and all he could see is that it had ended up in a smooth stump of soft black skin.
"The Void is the absence of everything, ultimate nothingness given form. Whatever skill or technique or ability to heal is nullified in front of it. Cuts or injuries caused by void energy are incredibly hard to heal or heal much slower than even a normal human's healing ability. Plus even if you had a chance to heal, you are in the void! A direct injury like that would not even heal, yet your body accepted the loss and sealed the wound shut, and quite cleanly too....I have to admit that would be a nice trait to have in the void." The train driver said to them as he came closer, both Azrael' on guard against each other and against the train driver.
"Now that I have fixed my train, we can start discussing how to deal with the both of you, the punishment for messing with my business and destroying my precious express."
The moment the train driver started talking along this line, bus boys? Waiters? Whatever it was that they were called, those people that work on trains appeared around him and Azrael, however these group of people, all five of them, two to Cole and three to Azrael, had enough power to dwarf what Cole and Azrael had.
[You Have Been Placed Under A Geas! Upon The Signing Of This Geas, You Sign Away A Thousand And One Years Of Your Existence Or That Of Your Line, Depending On When The Caster Of This Geas, Comes To Collect. To Serve As A Proud Employee and Member Of The Void Express!]
Azrael took one look at the system prompt and said. "I'm never having kids, and I damn sure I'm not going to be your employee!" Cole on the other hand paused for a moment, reading it thoroughly before saying.
"If it's punishment I'm not afraid of it. I'll serve, but that shit about my line.....take it the fuck off. I'm not signing away my child's life or that of any of my descendants to serve as your lackeys for a thousand years. Heck I'll serve for a thousand more, change it!"
The train driver raised an eyebrow at Cole, shook his head and laughed.
"Bro this is not a negotiation, and frankly speaking I didn't write that. The same deal was offered to me, I've never had kids though so you can see, I'm stuck. And I've been stuck this way for ten thousand years, the system enforces the rules of the Void Express. And these are rules and terms that have been in place since the system first awakened. So there will be no changing nothing or anything. You take the deal or you die. And since this is a system enforced punishment your choice is made for you."
The moment Cole heard that, there was a sound akin to a thousand explosions going off in his head. His left arm got dragged to the ground as a golden tattoo was etched around his wrist, a symbol of a train with the words Void Express written underneath it. The grunt of pain he heard from Azrael just more than made it obvious to Cole that the assassin had also been branded.
"Well now that we've got that out of the way, we should be coming up to your stop, now get the fuck off my train. "
