BXBX NOVEL Chapter 105 Leonard's Death!
"I\'ll ask you some questions I hope you make it easy for me." Shin gestured with a threatening tone.
"Who do you think you are? Let me go if you don\'t want to die." Leonard wasn\'t one to be taken lightly. He has killed a lot of people and already experienced death once. Shin\'s threats won\'t work that easily.
"Haah," Shin sighed.
"What are you wasting time for Shin? Just kill him. I can tell his soul is corrupted he is not a good guy." Alice was disgusted by Leonard\'s soul. This was the first time she had seen any human having a soul this corrupt. His corruption is way above monsters that they had met until now.
"This thrash had killed a lot of people. There\'s no reason for you to hesitate killing him." Alice thought maybe Shin was having second thoughts about killing people now.
"No, No. It\'s not like that. I just have some questions for him." Shin immediately denied Alice\'s thoughts.
\'I know full well that this is not someone we should keep alive.\'
"Like I\'ll answer any questions knowing that you are going to kill me." Leonard scoffed. Although inwardly he was thinking of some way to escape.
"You are right. Let\'s do it this way. We both answer one question alternatively. I am sure you also have many questions." Shin had a feeling Leonard wanted to know about them and in the future, he didn\'t know anything about Shin.
\'I know killing him and getting his memories would be a lot faster. I still want to try this.\'
"What is the future you know of?" Shin asked this question which made Leonard frown.
"How do you know that I know the future?" Leonard questioned with a threatening voice. This was his biggest secret and now someone else is asking about that.
"You were the one shouting about that since a while back. How would anyone not know?" Shin remembered how Leonard was shouting a while back.
"Oh right. Well now that you already know there\'s no point in hiding. This is the second time I\'m experiencing everything. I know everything that will happen. All the dangerous things that this world is going to experience. The threats to humanity that are going to appear. Everyone will bow to their power. This time I\'ll be the one to benefit from everything."
"Hahaha" Leonard laughed hysterically.
"But I\'m curious about one thing. If you two are so strong why don\'t I know of your existence in the future?" Leonard asked.
"Well, I do have a theory. Probably you both died a lot sooner so I don\'t know." Leonard explained himself.
Hearing Leonard\'s words Shin and Alice frowned. This was weird to hear.
"Who are the strong awakeneds you know of in the Aston city?" Alice was the one who asked this question.
"There are many but I never knew of anyone as strong as you two. Only SS rank can handle you two. Not even S rankers are a match for you two." Leonard was pretty sure about that from Shin\'s strength.
"How are you able to use many abilities?" Leonard asked Shin. As this was the thing that bothered him the most.
"I have more than 1 ability," Shin replied after a bit of thinking.
"Sure you do. There\'s no other explanation." Leonard said with a dangerous smile on his face.
A send later his sword was in front of Shin as he managed to cut the Arcane webs.
"Now Die. You are very stupid to give me a chance. Hahaha." Leonard laughed and swung his sword and started shooting red sword cuts.
Shin immediately activated his Razor Slash and countered all those attacks.
Leonard didn\'t wait to continue attacking, he immediately fled for the \'Exit gate\'. Alice was ready for such a scenario. As Leonard was blocked by Alice\'s soul servants who suddenly appeared in front of him.
"What the hell is this?" Leonard shouted while annoyed.
"Soul Bomb." Alice used her attack on Leonard. The explosion was too much for him his body burst into pieces.
A moment later his blessing activated and his body started recovering.
"Wow, he survived that." Shin was pretty amazed by Leonard\'s tenacity. But he immediately turned to Alice and reminded her.
"Alice, let me kill him. I need his memories. Okay," Shin asked with a dazzling smile.
Alice felt her heart throb in excitement.
"Of course." She immediately replied. There\'s no way she would object to anything Shin asks.
Shin smiled and used his ability.
"Electro bolt."
Leonard who was almost recovered got attacked and his body was disinterested again.
Leonard was horrified now. If Shin continues attacking him like this there\'s no way his 10 limited uses of blessing would be useful.
"Lava Flames."
He was trapped in a cycle where Shin attacked him as soon as his body almost recovered. He was unable to do anything. Neither he could escape nor he could fight back.
Leonard was regretting his decision to ever confront Shin and Alice. If only he minded his business. But it was too late.
Shin contained attacking him.
"Electro bolt."
"Lava Flames."
After his continuous attacks soon after Leonard was dead. All his ambitions and plans failed just like that. His death was nothing grand. He died just like that. Not like his previous life where a lot of people were needed to kill him. He died within two weeks of his reincarnation. But his death won\'t be useless. He will bring many opportunities to Shin.
...
Sometime later Shin stopped attacking as he saw notifications flash in front of his eyes.

"...."
"This is just too much. It would take some time to understand all these things. I can see that I got many useful things. I mean a lot more useful than I could have ever imagined." Shin was flabbergasted.
"These abilities, blessings, equipment. Let\'s leave them for later."
He skipped everything for a moment as his mind was focused on one important thing and that was Leonard\'s Memory cube.
"I\'ll check everything later. First his memory cube."
"Alice, watch over me. I\'m going to absorb his memory cube." Shin told Alice what he going to do.
Although Alice didn\'t like that Shin was going to absorb Leonard\'s Memory cube because she had already seen how corrupted he was. She understands that it\'s important. His memories are a lot important no matter how cruel they may be.
"Will you be okay?" Alice asked in worry. She had a feeling that Shin was also going to see all those people Leonard killed. She was worried about what Shin might see.
Shin understood Alice\'s worries and replied while patting her head.
"Don\'t worry. I know his memories won\'t affect me. He was the one who did those atrocities and he is dead. So I just have to see what the future is like."
Shin knew he was fooling nobody. He had no idea how his memory may affect him.
"Don\'t worry about that and take his soul," Shin said while pointing at Leonard\'s body.
Alice shook her head in denial.
"I tried that already. I can\'t take his soul. Someone else is also trying to take his soul."
"Right, it must be because of the contract." Shin had a feeling it was because of that.
But that doesn\'t concern them. They are not part of their contract.
"Try again Alice and this time try after transforming." Shin thought maybe that might work.
Alice nodded her head and transformed into her dark form.
She summoned her Soul Grimoire and tried again.
"Soul Absorption."
Alice felt a force stopping her from taking Leonard\'s soul. She also didn\'t back down. She gritted her teeth and used more death energy in the capture.
A moment later she heard an unexpected voice.
[Who art thou?]
