With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

The moment that the skeleton said these words, there was a chill that was stronger than any that they felt previously that ran down Lin Fan and Xiao Yue's back.

Even if they ignored the aura that the skeleton released, just by how it was acting, they could tell that it wasn't a normal skeleton.

The skeleton slowly stood up after saying this and then stood there with its sword raised as it said, "What are you two doing just standing there? Why aren't you coming in?"

The two of them were caught off guard by the skeleton suddenly speaking.

Xiao Yue had never heard of this and Lin Fan with his knowledge from Earth knew that a skeleton that could talk wasn't a good thing. A skeleton that could talk was most likely a unique monster and those unique monsters were to put it simply, monsters.

If they were to fight, they would have no chance of winning.

Lin Fan's mind quickly started turning as he tried to figure a way out, but then he suddenly noticed something. In one quick move, he raised his hand and moved a step back with Xiao Yue, moving behind the threshold of the door.

If the skeleton wasn't making a move, it was most likely because it couldn't make a move. After all, it had been waiting in this room the entire time for them to come, why would it do that if it had been able to leave?

If the skeleton could leave, it would have hunted them down right away.

It was just too bad that Lin Fan's thoughts were too shallow.

As soon as the skeleton saw the two of them taking a step back out the door, it immediately took a step forward.

In an instant, the skeleton disappeared from Lin Fan's line of sight and when it appeared again, its bony face was already right in front of him. He could even see almost every detail of the skull that was in front of his face.

The skeleton looked at Lin Fan like this for a few seconds before suddenly saying, "Where are you going? Do you not want to play with me?"

Lin Fan felt the chill run down his back the moment that he heard this, but before he could even react, the skeleton had grabbed the front of his shirt.

In one quick motion, the skeleton tossed Lin Fan and Xiao Yue to the center of the room. The two of them landed right in front of the altar, but they didn't get injured at all. It was almost as if there had been a cushion of wind under them that had kept them from getting hurt.

After throwing them, the skeleton took another step and came back to stand in front of them.

Looking down at them like this, it really was imposing.

The skeleton didn't say a thing as it waited for the two of them to react.

Lin Fan and Xiao Yue carefully stood up before Lin Fan moved in front of Xiao Yue to protect her.

Xiao Yue gripped his arm when she saw this and wanted to move forward, but Lin Fan stood firm in front of him.

After a while, Lin Fan asked, "Who are you?"

Seeing that Lin Fan was finally willing to talk, the skeleton revealed a smile, or rather what was close to a smile with that skeletal face, but actually looked terrifying. Then the skeleton said, "That really doesn't matter does it?"

Lin Fan was about to pull out his weapon when the skeleton said that, but then he noticed that the weapon at his waist was gone.

When he looked up again, he saw that the skeleton now had two more weapons in its free hand.

As the skeleton waved those weapons, it asked, "Are you looking for these?"

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes and tried to read the skeleton's intentions, but he couldn't understand what it wanted to do at all. So he couldn't help asking, "What do you want from us?"

The skeleton gave a laugh before saying, "You're the one who snuck in here and you're asking me what I want?" Then it stopped laughing as it looked at Lin Fan with a smile and said, "I've said it before, I want to play a game."

Lin Fan deeply knitted his brows when he heard this, but he asked, "What game is it?"

The skeleton's ugly smile became even wider as it said, "It's a simple game called choice."

Lin Fan knitted his brows even more when he heard this since he had never heard of this game before, so he asked, "How do you play this game?"

The skeleton said in a relaxed voice, "It's very simple. I'll just give you a choice and as long as you can choose between one or the other, then you are free to leave."

This game seemed simple enough, but something that seemed simple would always be a trap.

Still they had no other choice since the skeleton had already shown them how powerful it was. If they didn't play, it was certain that they would die here. If they at least played the game, there was a chance that they might be able to escape.

With this thought on his mind, Lin Fan gave a sigh and said, "What is the choice?"

The skeleton started in a slow and deliberate voice, "It's a very simple choice really. I'm sure that you'll be able to decide immediately since it's so easy."

With the deliberate way that the skeleton kept stalling, Lin Fan knew that it wasn't as simple as he made it. However, after he heard the choice, he still couldn't help being stunned.

The skeleton just spoke slowly like he was relaxing, but his words were very serious, "Choose one of you to die, you or the little girl. As long as you can choose…"

Before the skeleton could finish his words, Lin Fan had already said, "Let her go."

The skeleton was surprised as he looked at Lin Fan.

This kid didn't even hesitate a bit to answer this question even though he knew that he would die. This really was something, but too bad that it wasn't enough just yet.

After all, words were still words in the end, they could be easily faked. When it really came, it was hard to predict how he would act.

Xiao Yue immediately knitted her brows and was about to say something, but the skeleton spoke first. It said with a chuckle, "Very good kid, you didn't hesitate at all."

Then the skeleton's voice turned serious as its figure suddenly disappeared. When it reappeared again, it was already in front of Lin Fan with its sword raised to slash down.

Xiao Yue wanted to jump in front of Lin Fan, but it was already too late and Lin Fan was holding her back. With how much stronger Lin Fan was compared to her, it was unlikely that she would be able to overpower him.

As the sword slashed down, Lin Fan couldn't help feeling that it was a bit of a regret that he had wasted his second life like this, but that regret only lasted a second. Then he felt happy that he would be able to save the first girl that he had ever gotten close to.

Perhaps just that alone was enough.

However, before the skeleton's sword could cut Lin Fan, there was a voice that suddenly rang out, "Enough!"

As this voice rang out, there was a pink light that appeared in front of Lin Fan and bounced the sword back.

The skeleton wasn't surprised at all by the appearance of the pink light and it just stood there in a casual manner as its eyes looked over Lin Fan. After a pause, it suddenly said, "It seems like this one truly is sincere, he even accepted death at the last second."

There was another flash of pink light before a glowing pink figure appeared.

But the moment that this figure appeared, Lin Fan's eyes almost popped out.

It was because this person was just too beautiful!

It was a woman of perfect height, with the perfect figure, and a perfect face with golden blonde hair decorating it. But this wasn't the main thing that had almost made Lin Fan's nose bleed.

Rather, it was the clothes that she was wearing that did it.

She was only wearing a single layer of lace that covered her body and if one looked closely, one would think that they would be able to see through it, but somehow it still wasn't see through.

But those lace clothes perfectly accentuated her figure which really was like dynamite.

The woman didn't seem to mind Lin Fan's gaze, rather it almost seemed like she enjoyed it as she looked at Lin Fan with a smile and said, "Like what you see?"

Lin Fan was about to give an unconscious nod, but then he felt a pinch from his side and he realized what he was doing. He revealed a bitter smile and then just stood there awkwardly.

The woman gave a laugh when she saw this, but she didn't continue this conversation as she turned to the skeleton and said, "I told you that someone would come one day. You lose this bet."

The skeleton spread its hands and just said, "It still took quite a bit of time."

The woman gave a chuckle and said, "Sore loser."

Then she turned back to Lin Fan and Xiao Yue to say, "Congratulations mortals, you have passed the test of this goddess. You will now receive your rewards."
