Chapter 820: Two Into One

Chapter 820: Two Into One

Inside the huge, weird organ, a dozen black and heavy chains tied a blood-colored crystal in the air. The blood crystal, about a person’s height, was shrouded with a thin layer of red mist. Light dots flowing out from the crystal moved along the chains into all directions, and the red-haired woman in weird dress was sleeping soundly inside the crystal.

“Eat it?” Hao Ren was shocked. “Looks like Lily’s foolhardiness has caught up with you.”

“It’s called reintegration,” Vivian waved her hand. “Do you still remember the first red-haired evil spirit that we killed on Mars, and that I absorb its power? The only way to kill this evil spirit is to absorb it. Conventional tactics just won’t work on this thing.”

Hao Ren remembered it; the thing had given them a hard time. It was Vivian that destroyed the evil spirit and absorbed its power and ability but she did not use any special means to ‘eat’ it.

So it turned out that Vivian had a natural ability to suppress this kind of ‘evil spirit’, but… could this work every time?

“We know too little about this thing. What if we fail?” Hao Ren looked at Vivian, concerned. “Obviously this evil spirit is different from the one you summoned from the magic book. She has mutated. Are you sure you can handle it?”

Vivian reached out and touched the red crystal. She slowly placed her hand on the forehead of the red-haired woman, separated by the crystal, as if she could sense the temperature of the red-haired woman inside. “I have learned from the blood spar and previous experience. There shouldn’t be a problem.”

Hao Ren’s brows knit together. “The last time you did it was when the evil spirit was weak, but this one here is much powerful and it doesn’t seem to have weakened a bit. Are you sure you won’t be influenced instead?”

“The bloody demon god might beat me hands down if fighting face-to-face but not here,” Vivian said. She smiled and pointed at the heavy and old chains. “See these? These things make her like a sitting duck on her throne, the chains are constraining her power. The bloody demon outside almost entirely relies on the lifeblood of the First Born, and as you can see, this evil spirit here couldn’t even move.”

“I can also provide some technical backup,” the MDT chimed in. “Oh of course, I’m not talking about the exploding stuff; I mean would monitor Vivian’s state of mind. If she is at any time undermined, you can immediately keep her in your dimensional pocket. The dimensional pocket of inspector is the most powerful container, as it comes with Xi Ling Celestial’s powerful encryption, nothing could penetrate it when it is closed. As for the fella in the crystal, I don’t know if things will change. I suggest that you plant some explosives around it so that when things get out of hand, if the bomb doesn’t kill her, at least will weaken her.”

Hao Ren scratched his chin and nodded slowly. Suddenly, a soft squeaky sound caught his attention.

He looked at the blood-colored crystal, fine crack had appeared the surface. Although the crack was small, it was definitely new!

The thin blood mist in the air began to drift toward the blood-colored crystal slowly as if some forces were sucking them over. The eyelids of the red-haired Vivian flickered once. Vivian took her hand off the crystal instinctively as if there was an electric shock. “Hurry up and make up your mind. The fighting seems to have weakened the seal!”

“Do as you said,” Hao Ren nodded hard. “But be careful. If anything goes wrong, I will take you into the dimensional pocket”

Vivian began to contain the red-haired Vivian with a thin blood mist. This blood mist was different from the cloudy, dark blood mist in the air; hers was clearer though difference was subtle. Hao Ren began to feel the hostile cold in the surroundings gradually subsided.

The two different blood mist crashed silently in the air. They looked similar in texture but clearly, they did not mix. The mist around the crystal spun rapidly trying to ward off Vivian’s blood mist, but as the master of the mist was still contained in the seal, the mist lost strength and dissipated. At last, Vivian began to form a spherical, blood-mist barrier shrouding the crystal.

The blood-mist barrier condensed and turned into liquid state with a series of complex runes floating on it as Vivian kept applying her magic on it.

Using her own blood as the magic ingredient, she had created a three-dimensional and complex magic circle.

She placed her hands on the magic circle and whispered, “Here we go.”

The runes on the magic circle glowed and the blood-colored crystal emitting a shrill whistle. The runes flew on the magic circle rapidly and millions of tiny light particles struck the crystal like a meteors shower. Soon, the blood-colored crystal gave way and exploded with a boom. The enormous energy released from the explosion almost caused Vivian to lose control of the magic circle. Hao Ren was behind Vivian, ready to grab her when necessary, while the MDT monitored the energy flows at the scene.

Vivian’s eyes glowed in red. She shut off her danger alertness mechanism and self-defense magic to concentrate all her powers to keep the magic circle running. She was betting on Hao Ren to keep her safe now, because she was totally exposed and vulnerable.

Her gamble paid off; the magic circle began to stabilize and the evil spirit weakened.

The light-particles began to break down the body of red-haired Vivian, who opened her eyes and woke up. Hao Ren saw it; it was a pair of eyes that he was not going to forget for the rest of his life.

Cloudy and insane; the eyes had no whites and pupils, they were dark red and filthy, devoid of human emotion and rationality, absolutely more insane than the one came out from the magic book.

Hao Ren’s mind was flooded with questions suddenly. He was wondering where this evil spirit come from, what it had done, and why it was here.

There was no answer to his questions. The evil spirit was frantic. It screamed and attacked the runes that shrouded her like a beast, hitting the thin and seemingly fragile spherical barrier with great force.

As proven earlier, Vivian was a natural nemesis of the ‘evil spirit’.

The magic circle did not budge a bit no matter what the evil spirit did. Once the magic circle was up, it was unbreakable. The evil spirit began to flag but did not back down. Seeing this, Vivian finally could not help whispering at the evil spirit, “Enough! Stop the madness and surrender gracefully.”

The evil spirit seemed to have heard Vivian. It froze and then, the intense light particles finally shattered it completely.

The magic circle had subsided but Hao Ren was still tense.

The blood-colored crystal, evil spirit, and magic-circle barrier had gone but the broken chains held the crystal was still floating around in the air. Vivian stood in the middle of all this, holding a translucent shadow, which looked like her, in her arms.

“I… have tried…” the ‘evil spirit’ whispered. The madness in her eyes had receded. “Let me go home…”

“I know. You did it.” Vivian put her hand on the head of shadow and said, “Come back now.”

The translucent shadow turned its head around and its lips moved as if it was saying something. It seemed that all this was directed at Hao Ren. The ‘evil spirit’ finally nodded and dissolved into million light dots, and then sank into Vivian’s body completely.

Then everything was over.
