Chapter 161: Ferguillo’s real secret (2/2)
He understood full well that with his heart already torn, it was probably impossible to heal and rescue him even if they had Ciaran with them here.
“Very soon, you’ll become just like him.”
Shinro watched Ayrin charge his way, the derision on his face even more pronounced.
The arcane particles inside him had already started flowing at a frantic pace once again, faster and faster. But then, he suddenly froze. The derision on his face also froze.
“Ferguillo…”
Even Ayrin stared in a daze.
Ferguillo’s head had previously been hanging low, and he’d seemed about to fall at any moment, but now he appeared without a sound or trace behind Shinro, standing in Shinro’s shadow.
This instant seemed to freeze into eternity.
Crushed by a tremendous fear, even the arcane particles inside Shinro seemed to freeze. Cold sweat covered every inch of his skin. Even his hair was quickly becoming drenched.
“How did you…” he said in a hiss, his voice unspeakably weird.
Ferguillo didn’t even answer him.
“Ah!”
Shinro felt the brush of Ferguillo’s arcane particles. He knew that no matter how fast he usually was, his spell invocation might still not necessarily follow Ferguillo’s speed. Yet, he also understood that he had no other choice. With a shriek filled with horror, he desperately made his arcane particles flying, trying to run away.
“Crack!”
A slightly cold hand appeared on his throat the moment he accelerated forward. Then Shinro heard the snapping of his own neck.
His body kept running forward, but his entire consciousness quickly faded away, as though he were running into eternal darkness.
“Bang!”
Shinro’s corpse ran all the way to the huge circular construction at the very center before finally rebounding back and falling to the ground.
Ferguillo took back his hand.
He still had a faint indifferent expression on his face. He merely looked a little pale.
The wound on his chest wasn’t bleeding anymore. It seemed extremely odd.
“Undying Body!”
“A variant bloodline they say can divert the essence of life. As long as you don’t run out of arcane particles, you won’t easily die!”
“You actually had a variant bloodline like this?!”
While the yellow strips of earth were quickly freezing, Massay’s face filled with fright and alarm. Seeing Ferguillo killing Shinro in one blow, he suddenly, as though he lost control of himself, yelled with horror again and again.
“Not only Mind Reading… This is the true ultimate power Ferguillo was hiding. It turns out his bloodline mutated into the Undying Body bloodline that won’t let you easily die as long as you have some arcane particles left.”
Audrey relaxed as soon as she saw this scene, the biting cold expression dissipating from her face. Her hands that seemed about to be torn apart from her inner frost also stopped emitting the frightening chilly aura, and slowly recovered their original appearance. There was merely some blood flowing out from some tiny cracks on the skin.
…
“This guy’s spirit-controlling skill is actually even stronger than my Siren Song!”
At this moment, Joyce was totally under the control of his opponent’s arcane skill.
His entire being was already submerged in dark energy. Under the dark energy’s onslaught, his body was wilting as though it were losing its moisture.
He was entirely unaware of the happenings outside. The only thing he could be sure of was that his opponent was also using a formidable secret skill affecting the nerves to exercise control over his body.
“That’s the only thing I can do!”
“Sacrifice of the Sea King!”
His arcane particles suddenly transformed into countless tiny bolts of lightning, instantly rushing at his nerves.
“What’s going on?”
Both Ferguillo and Ayrin were originally about to go and help Joyce, but they suddenly saw Joyce’s eyes turn into lightning eyes, his pupils sending off countless white electric sparks.
“Ah!”
Joyce twisted violently, like he finally threw off some invisible shackles, then shouted in pain.
But at the same time, still deeply wrapped in black energy as he’d been since the beginning, Gullit shouted miserably just like him. Blood flowed down from the corner of his eyes.
“This silly guy used some kind of mutually destructive strategy.”
Ayrin immediately understood. Without the slightest hesitation, his entire being suddenly became bright red once more and once again melted into a puddle of blood in everyone’s eyes.
A bizarre bloody color also suddenly appeared under Gullit’s feet.
Everyone thought Ayrin was going to attack Gullit for certain, but what no one imagined was, Ayrin’s figure flashed behind Hawkmoon’s Lindon instead.
Lindon had sent Charlotte and her metallic war avatar falling back more than a dozen steps with a single blow just moments ago when the atmosphere behind him suddenly felt wrong. He immediately kicked behind him with his right foot.
“Bang!”
Flashing with the shining luster of moonlight, his right foot kicked Ayrin’s belly, making a muffled, drum-pounding sound, making everyone’s heart leap in their chests.
“Ah…!”
But at the same time, Ayrin pushed hard on his legs with a fierce roar and kept himself from falling back. He then sent a vicious punch on the back of Lindon’s head.
“He’s actually fighting like this again…”
This thought flashed in the pale-faced Charlotte’s mind.
“Bang!”
A muffled sound thumped on Lindon’s head. Shaking on his feet, he bounced several steps forward but couldn’t keep control over his frame. He fell forward.
