Chapter 1037: Chapter 103: Brother-in-law, you’re so smooth~~

A few days later, in the early morning.

A streak of golden sunlight pierced through the forest mist and shot into the dark cave.

Seemingly sensing the change in light around, the graceful figure sleeping in the corner woke up leisurely, sat up from the straw-covered stone slab, and observed the surroundings.

The cave was very simple, clearly naturally formed.

But the recent occupants who had just moved in were diligent, cleaning it spotless and even adding a touch of homely warmth.

Ahead of the fire, a female mage with black hair, wearing a black mage robe and slightly pointed ears, was adding ingredients like mushrooms, jerky, and fennel into a steaming pot, seemingly preparing today’s meal.

The scent of cloves and currants emanating from her made the newly awakened Skar feel inexplicably familiar.

Had they met before somewhere?

At this moment, Yenifa by the fire also sensed the movement and gaze from behind, grabbing a magic wand beside her as if facing a formidable enemy.

Seeing Yenifa’s tense demeanor, Skar’s buried memories were awakened in her mind:

“It’s you, the little fellow I let out to explore the path earlier.”

“But now, it seems you are the prey!”

Yenifa coldly retorted, even when facing a Chief God she couldn’t defeat, she still maintained her pride, like a hedgehog raising its spines.

But of course, pride comes with a price.

Especially when the weak try to challenge the strong.

Skar smiled playfully, her body bounced from the stone bed, her right hand struck towards Yenifa’s throat with lightning speed.

“Snap!”

However, at the moment when Skar’s fingers were about to touch Yenifa’s neck, a crisp snapping sound came from behind Skar.

Suddenly, Skar felt a heaviness over her body, as if her limbs were filled with lead. Five golden circles composed of mysterious runes appeared on her arms, legs, and neck, blocking the flow of divine power within her and hampering her control over her body.

Her body fell straight to the ground mid-air, and Skar struggled to turn her vision towards the cave entrance behind her:

“What have you done to me?”

“Just a little gift, to help you sit down calmly and have a conversation.”

Luo En smiled and walked into the cave.

But someone as unruly as Skar couldn’t be manipulated easily.

As Luo En entered the cave, the Shadow Country Queen mustered a trace of divine power secretly gathered, sweeping her leg towards her opponent’s chest.

“Still not behaving?”

With an irritated snort, Luo En easily caught the leg sweeping towards him.

Then, in Skar’s astonished gaze, he twisted and pulled hard.

Instantly, a slender and rounded white leg was torn off.

Oddly, no blood flowed from the fracture between the leg and the torso, and Skar herself felt no pain at all.

“Thought that would kill me? I possess immortality!”

Skar sneered haughtily, instinctively invoking her undying power to regenerate the limb.

Yet, there was no response at the point where her right leg was severed.

“How can you regenerate when you’re all in one piece?”

Luo En teased with a smile and intervened once again.

With a few crisp clicks, before Skar could react, she saw her other leg, both arms, and even her head being dismantled from her body like parts, forming five separate pieces.

What’s going on?

A big question mark appeared in Skar’s mind, and an inexplicable chill rose in her heart in the face of this bizarre scene.

“There’s no choice. I’m fond of peace and don’t want to be embroiled in life-and-death battles with you every day.

So, while you were asleep, to set a peaceful communication foundation, I performed a little surgery on you.

Naturally separating your limbs and torso with magic while maintaining a seemingly intact connection. Conceptually, your body isn’t ‘injured’ or ‘lacking’, so your powers of ‘immortality’ and ‘regeneration’ naturally can’t activate.”

Luo En said with a smile, gently placing the beautiful head on the table and then pulling a chair over to sit opposite her at a safe distance.

For no other reason.

The method of dismemberment is quite malevolent, and he feared Skar would jump up and bite him in rage.

Even though Skar now appeared as just a head, seemingly at his mercy.

But this is the mythological era where anything is possible.

If he remembered correctly, there was a similar mishap in Nordic mythology.

During Ragnarok, after Evil God Loki attacked the Immortal Palace, he was decapitated by Guardian God Heimdall. Yet his head remained alive, leaping on Heimdall and biting his throat, dragging his arch-enemy to doom with him.

For safety, it’s best to disarm Her Majesty first.

“Help Her Majesty put away the pieces.”

Hearing Luo En’s command, Yenifa, who had been waiting impatiently, dashed forward and deftly fetched a large black metal box lined with lead from the Magic Circle Diagram.

Then crouched down, picking up the four body parts scattered on the ground, she stuffed them into the box.

The box contained five differently shaped grooves, perfectly fitting the contours of Skar’s body parts.

Clearly, this was a pre-made containment tool.

The elven secret text and curses related to life etched on it proved that Yenifa, adept in lineage magic, played no small part in trapping Skar.
