Chapter 753: The Two Bodies One Soul

…

Olivia Li'gran came to the Osmond territory along with a handful of high elves to infiltrate the land and try to get intelligence information on the deployment of the human troops and the location of the energy projector artifact that has stopped the combined army from advancing.

Their mission includes stealing some of those weapons and delivers them to the imperial capital.

However, on their way to accomplish their mission, they unluckily encountered a horde of beasts and decided to hide in the cave. But who would have known that the cave their group has accidentally entered has a large array formation to lure in beasts towards it.

And soon, they met a tragic fate where they were captured by the powerful vampire demon who owns the cave. Even with their powerful artifacts, they are unable to defeat the indestructible demon. They have exhausted their power and fell prey to the demon which then imprisoned them in the dungeon for its own private amusement.

For months they stayed inside the dungeon and has gone through unimaginable torture and sufferings until most of the high elves had their minds broken.

And now Olivia and 2 other female high elves are the only ones left with their sanity intact. But her two companions are already showing signs of giving up and succumbing to their fate.

The constant gruesome and painful deaths that they all have experienced have made them sink in despair and break their mind due to hopelessness and the feeling of desperation. These experiences, coupled with depression and the sheer horror of the dungeon truly broke the minds of the rest of her people.

But suddenly, Olivia was saved by a human. And from what she could see, the human seems to be faring well against the dungeon and its powerful denizen from the look of his clothing which seem to have not experienced any signs of battle.

In her mind, she suddenly had an idea of using the human's strength to help her get out of her grave situation. However, a part of her is still hesitating as she did not still fully trusted the human.

As she looks at the young man, she subconsciously releases a slight amount of tears that flowed down her cheeks. She herself didn't know why she is crying. 

When Shin Jiao saw this, he subconsciously raised one of his eyebrows. Though this elf looks like Susan Tang, she is not her.

And from what she did the first time she saw him, he knew that this elf is still not aware of the treaty outside.

"How long have you been in this place?" Shin Jiao asked as he sits in a lotus position in front of Olivia Li'gran.

As the two locks their gazes, a silent contest began. But how could Olivia's resolve be like before after suffering inside the dungeon? It did not take long for her to shift her eyes and dodge Shin Jiao's penetrating gaze.

"I... I lost count…"

"Hmm… I guess you are not aware of the treaty between the humans and your high elven race, right?"

"Treaty? What do you mean?"

"The war is over… the saint rulers commanded it. Now we are to prepare for a more grandeurs battle… the battle against the shadow beings."

When she heard his words, Olivia's eyes could not help but grow bigger. Her reaction made Shin Jiao smile for a bit.

"Well, that's the situation outside. Now let me tell you my goal for saving you... The truth is... I wanted to hunt the vampire who is ruling this dungeon. Can you tell me where he is?" Shin Jiao asked with a smile.

"The vampire? You mean you wanted to kill it with just you alone? That cannot be… There are a total of five floors in this dungeon. And each floor houses stronger monsters. I reached the second floor because of the sacrifices of my men. But I cannot move any further as my armor and weapons have already been destroyed. I cannot die because if that happens I would be sent to the 5th floor again…" Olivia explained with dread in her eyes upon remembering the horror of the lower floors.

"So only five floors… Then can you help me locate the demon chamber?" Shin Jiao asked.

Olivia already has an idea to use the human to escape this hellish place, but it seems her plans would not work from how things are going. So he gritted her teeth as she too wanted to know how powerful this human is.

How dare he want to hunt the vampire on his own? But she could not help but also want to see that vampire destroyed. Hence she hardened her resolve and decided.

"I will lead you there. But I will not let myself be killed. If I sense danger, I will leave you alone and escape." She said with gritted teeth.

"Fine by me, I just want you to lead the way…" Shin Jiao said as he suddenly waves his hand to remove the barrier.

His action made Olivia looks at Shin Jiao with caution in her eyes. She did not know if what he told her is true, but she could not deny that she is somewhat convinced that what he is telling her is the truth.

With that, she decided to just wait and see.

Suddenly, Shin Jiao handed her a piece of leather armor and a silver rapier.

"You need these to survive at least…" he said then after giving her the things he turns around and left the small space.

Shin Jiao crawls out of the crevice and as he reaches outside he just stood by the entrance and waited.

Not long later, Olivia crawled out and she is already wearing the leather armor and on her waist is the rapier.

"How did you know that I use this type of word?" she suddenly asked while patting the rapier on her side.

"You were holding on a broken rapier when I found you. And most of the broken weapons inside there are thin and light, so I just guessed."

"Hmm… Thank you… I don't know if I could trust your words, but for saving me at least I can just say as such..."

Shin Jiao didn't spend too much non-sense and the two began to traverse the dungeon while leaving a bloody path in their wake. Olivia is a very strong and powerful swordswoman. But when facing against level 77 and above beasts, she is not their match. She seems to be lacking the skill to contend against those with a higher level than her as she relies too much on using the universe's energy in her body.

And as they walk deeper inside the dungeon, Shin Jiao has already basically grabbed the power level of Olivia.

But for Olivia Li'gran, she was dumbfounded at Shin Jiao's fighting prowess. This is because she could not tell how powerful he really is as he could strike his opponents effortlessly.

With this, she could not tell how strong Shin Jiao really is.

Shin Jiao is using his psychokinesis ability, as he would pretend to strike the beasts. Using the contact between his blade and the monster's body to analyze their physique, he would then either squish their hearts if he found them or just crush their brains if he has no choice.

 With his psychokinesis growing to such a level, Shin Jiao could easily kill any living creature as long as he can break through the forcefield protecting their body. Though he could not do such a thing to shadow beings and some demons, yet he is confident of his psychokinesis powerful killing ability.

However, while he uses his psychokinesis, he suddenly found that something is wrong. He could feel that the improvement and growth have slowed down. It was as if it has reaches its bottleneck.

Since he could not figure things out at this time, he decided to just observe more and do experiments in the future.

Soon they arrive in a staircase going down.

"This is the fourth-floor entrance… Hmmm… Where could they be?" she said and muttered something.

Shin Jiao has also noticed her action for a while now. She seems to be looking for someone or something.

"Maybe they are in the chamber and did not go out." Shin Jiao suddenly said which made Olivia turned silent.

Shin Jiao's words made Olivia feel a bit depressed. She knew what it means, and she is afraid of what Shin Jiao did said would be true.

If so, then they would have truly fallen and have their mind broken.

Although it is reversible, yet the time it would take before they could recover would be too long.

As the two enter the 5th floor of the dungeon they both can sense a number of powerful beasts. Shin Jiao could even feel the number of lord-level beasts on the floor.

"Now this place is interesting…" he muttered with a smile.

…

Meanwhile, inside the 5th-floor chamber, a thin figure sits on a dark marble throne. The figure is unlike the vampire outside which Shin Jiao has fought with. The vampire looks more like an elf with a pale blue complexion and has long limbs.

He donned in a dark blue fit robe that hugs his thin and frail body. His robe has red patterns that look like small fire emblems.

The vampire has his eyes closed while one of his long and slender fingers touches his forehead like he is in deep thoughts.

"This is getting troublesome. I did not think that the human is powerful enough to easily enter the 5th floor. I must find a way to get the secret of his ability. I can sense something different about that human. If only I can absorb his mind, then I might find a way to escape this world and inform the shadow legion outside."

The vampire muttered as he slowly opens his eyes and an evil glint seem to have appeared on them.
