Chapter 456 - 457: The Suddenly Appearing Voice!
Real World.
This Tier Nine Demon Clan member, his scarlet eyes suddenly burst with ecstasy!
He could feel...
That the remnant will that existed in front of this Ghost Race member had now completely disappeared.
Now, only a pure and extreme will for slaughter remained.
Additionally...
The strange golden light that the human cast before, which could impede his Demonic Qi transformation.
Was now rapidly weakening and becoming precarious with Veridia’s consciousness sinking!
"Hahaha! It’s done!"
He couldn’t help but laugh wildly at the sky, elated with success.
He glanced at Lazuli and Vera, who were all set, with a teasing tone:
"See? This Ghost Race member has been completely devoured by the will for slaughter."
"Your master will also be devoured by the Slaughter Law in this Ghost Race member’s inner world!"
Hearing these words, Vera’s eyes fluctuated violently.
She could also feel through the Beast Taming Contract that Aster Grant was under immense pressure.
Realizing this, Vera looked at Lazuli with a hint of panic in her voice:
"What do we do? The master’s status is not good!"
Lazuli’s golden eyes were fixed on the madly laughing Demon Clan member.
The Fire of Destruction surrounding her flickered intensely due to emotional fluctuations.
Her tightly clenched fists nearly had her nails piercing into her palms.
But she took a deep breath, forced down the churning emotions, and spoke coldly:
"Since the master chose to enter, he must have his assurance!"
Her gaze swept over Vera and finally locked onto the Demon General again:
"What we need to do is trust the master and hold our ground here!"
"We must not allow this Demon Clan member to take a step forward before the master succeeds!
"But if the master... truly cannot...
Lazuli’s eyes gleamed with a cold light:
"Then let this world be buried with the master!"
Hearing this, Vera’s body shook.
Then she heavily nodded, with a cold glimmer in her eyes as well:
"I understand!"
...
Inside Veridia’s sea of consciousness.
It had completely turned into the Asura Place!
"Slash—!"
A fist light almost grazed the edge of Aster Grant’s awareness body.
Aster Grant narrowly dodged sideways, but the brushing slaughter aura still grazed his arm.
"Ugh!"
Aster Grant grunted, his awareness body fluctuating violently, his left arm area became slightly blurry, sending waves of tearing pain!
Just a marginal touch caused his awareness body to be wounded!
And at this moment, Veridia’s attacks became increasingly fierce and precise!
Her integration degree with the Slaughter Law was getting higher and higher.
Her speed, power, and application of slaughter, all rose at an astonishing speed!
Aster Grant checked Veridia’s status.
Then he realized...
The countless battles in the Ghost World, and the energy generated from killing countless Demon Clan members...
Had already pushed Veridia’s talent from Myth Talent to Origin.
But...
Now was not a good time!
The stronger Veridia becomes, the greater the threat to him!
Currently, he could barely spar with Veridia by relying on the attributes brought by Divine Pattern enhancement.
But if Veridia continues to grow stronger...
"No! Continuing like this is certain death!"
Inwardly anxious, Aster Grant was extremely worried.
Now he felt like dancing on the blade’s edge.
Just a slight carelessness...
And it would be the point of no return!
Withdraw?
Now forcibly tearing the consciousness to return might still leave a slim chance of survival.
But that would mean giving up Veridia completely!
Not withdraw?
At this rate, it won’t be long until he is utterly slashed to pieces by the ever-stronger Veridia!
By then, not only would Veridia be beyond saving, he, too, would face the destruction of body and soul!
Stuck between a rock and a hard place!
Truly a dilemma!
Just as he was tangled, unsure of how to decide.
"Buzz..."
A very faint vibration came from his Beastbond Space.
Sensing the disturbance, Aster Grant focused his spiritual power to sense.
World Tree Leaf!
This leaf, which had been quietly lying in the corner of the Beastbond Space, with no use aside from converting Demon Pattern.
At this moment, it unexpectedly radiated a gentle glow!
Aster Grant’s heart moved.
After dodging another fatal attack from Veridia.
He separated a strand of his mind, connected with the Beastbond Space, and summoned the leaf emitting a hazy green light to his hand.
The leaf was warm to the touch, exuding a gentle aura.
This aura clashed with the raging slaughter aura around, but miraculously brought Veridia to a moment of peace not far off.
Seeing this scene, Aster Grant’s heart quivered slightly.
The World Tree Leaf was useful!
However, Veridia only calmed for a brief moment before moving again.
Her every gesture still carried violent killing intent!
It was just then that Aster Grant heard a voice.
An old, slightly anxious voice.
Directly resonating at the core of Aster Grant’s consciousness:
"Human! Quick! Help me!"
This voice came suddenly, yet Aster Grant could feel the goodwill in her voice.
Who was this voice?
World Tree?
No!
Aster Grant could feel that there was no spirituality in the World Tree Leaf in his hand.
So whose voice was this?
Why could it directly appear in his mind?
This time, the voice sounded again.
"Human! Quick! Concentrate your mind, cease resistance! Temporarily entrust your awareness body to me!"
Hearing this request, Aster Grant hesitated.
He knew that the awareness body was his most crucial part.
If this voice harbored harmful intentions towards him and he let his mind open...
He would be instantly obliterated!
But Veridia’s situation was already critical.
In a flash of thought, Aster Grant glanced at those eyes fully consumed by blood color, filled only with pure destructive desire.
Take the gamble!
No time to hesitate!
He chose to trust this single variable!
Just as Veridia’s attack was about to reach his body, Aster Grant gritted his teeth and made an extremely risky decision!
He instantly restrained all attack and defense intents, Divine Pattern’s glow retracted, and the soul fluctuation abruptly ceased!
He completely opened his consciousness core without reservation!
Good thing, he bet right!
"Buzz—!"
Just as Aster Grant gave up resistance...
An extremely condensed pitch-black light instantly formed an oval shield in front of him!
"Clang—!"
Veridia’s attack crashed onto this sudden pitch-black shield!
No earth-shattering explosion, no energy impact ripples.
The fierce attack struck the shield’s surface without stirring a single ripple.
Behind the shield, Aster Grant was unharmed!
Almost at the same time, in the real world.
The Demon Clan member was originally sneering, ready to complete the Demonic Qi infusion.
However, before he could take action—
"Rumble—!"
Suddenly, the entire Ghost World trembled violently!
The eternally dark red hue in the sky began to roll, and the land dormant for ages started slightly quivering!
Ghost Qi, pure and rich, permeating the world...
Transformed into streams of visible gray-black torrents, frantically converging from all directions to Aster Grant’s soul body!
