173 An Evil Presence (2/2)

It was a big problem. On the one hand, he had to literally seize every opportunity, but on the other he had to be careful not to get killed.

The boy felt a sudden tingling in his skin, as if something had suddenly caressed him, and he immediately turned in the direction where he thought to perceive something. Afraid, he tried to figure out what was happening. Inside the Octagonal Room, there was an evil presence. Perhaps this was what had scared Cesar.

Anyway, somehow that evil spirit had to be connected with the Humans, so Helial thought it wouldn't be a problem for his cultivation.

All he was interested in was gaining experience to enhance the Skills and techniques he would use in future battles. However, since he could not go directly into the battlefield, all he had left was meditation. He would have to give five times his best in order to defeat Medusa.

Helial knew very well that the difference between their stages was too vast to be easily filled.

Even if the Tristia Team had been able to kill Medea and her men, he had to consider however that all their opponents were in the First Phase. Despite drinking the Fury Elixir, their potential was to the Second Phase only in appearance. If they had been real warriors in the Second Phase Helial and his companions would have found the fight much more difficult.

Skreeee!

A squeal struck violently his ears, and he turned to see where the sound came from and who had produced it. An invisible claw was scraping the floor, where signs began to form. Looking quickly to the right and left, Helial realized that the spirit inside that room wanted to bother him.

”Mph, let's see how much you feel like joking,” Helial snorted coldly, not wanting to waste any time.

Flame of the Qilin

Flame of the Qilin contained the principles of Life and was the nemesis of every evil spirit. As soon as it was exposed to the flame, any low-level one would have been vaporized in no time at all.

Helial surrounded himself with a sea of flames and heard the screams as a sneer spread on his face. And yet, for some strange reason, he had the impression that things weren't going the right way. Helial increased the flames temperature and range, enveloping the whole room.

Walls and floor did not seem disturbed by the terrifying heat. The Flame of the Qilin could have melted any kind of common stone, but that room seemed to have been built with high quality materials.

Suddenly, Helial felt a force counteracting the flames and hitting his soul. Helial's expression changed, and several drops of sweat began to flow down his forehead. Was that being really able to resist Flame of the Qilin? He felt a shudder down his spine and poured all his Mental Energy into the Flame, in order to destroy that presence at all costs.

Fwooosh!

The flames suddenly extinguished, as if something had swallowed them up, and Helial felt his strength drain away. Since he had arrived at Orma, he had seldom felt so helpless facing an enemy.

He looked around, but found nothing.

He turned around.

An eyeless face, whose vacant, unnatural smile went from cheekbone to cheekbone, was a few inches from his nose.

The pearl-coloured teeth were too many for a normal mouth, its skin was milky white and long black hair fell straight on its face like spaghetti.
