Chapter 189: Harbinger Of Doom (1/2)

The corruption started to spread towards everything that was in front of Seth's body. The unholy red lines of matter, invaded the Fire Walls that belonged to the dungeon, taking control over it and changing its nature to corruption.

Boom!

They exploded with Crismon Corrupted Flames, instantly making the whole sky turn blood colored. The whole soil was being covered by that energy as well, changing to a sea of crimson corruption.

Fifth Shadow saw that red energy coming towards him and tried to retreat as fast as he could, using his enhanced Shadow Walk to increase his speed, but the millions of filaments of crimson corruption spreading through the ground were way faster than him, reaching his body in just a few seconds.

They reached him, some ignoring his body and going towards the front, while other crimson filaments started climbing on his feet, invading and corrupting the structure of his skin cells.

Fifth Shadow felt like there was a massive hand grabbing on his feet, making him unable to give another step forward. At the same time, he felt a dull sensation around that area, just like his feet wasn't his own anymore.

That was in fact, the truth. When he looked downwards, he saw that instead of two feet made of flesh and bones, he had feet made of crystal shards. When he saw those shards, his fear increased further, reaching the maximum it could. Just like the fear a prey would feel before its primal predator.

Filaments of red energy kept climbing his legs, transforming the structure of anything it touched almost as if instantly. Both of his legs started to turn into red crystals as Fifth Shadow did anything he could to fight against that energy.

His heart as wildly beating and he was acting just like a desperate animal. The darkness he produced, wasn't able to stop that energy, it just served as fuel for the corruption that was climbing his body.

At that moment, Seth's body had finally moved, standing from the ground where he was. However, even though he stood up, he was still unconscious. He didn't advance or create any skills, just kept standing there until his head suddenly moved to look at Fifth Shadow. There was a wicked smile on his face, something that made a lot of chills run down Seventh Shadow's spine. He started to retreat, even though there was a lot of distance between him and Seth. The thought of helping Fifth Shadow out crossed his mind, but he tossed it aside and started to run.

Fifth Shadow felt an irresistible attraction and unconsciously turned his head to look towards Seth. When their eyes made contact, Fifth Shadow suddenly felt like he had been electrocuted.

Seth's eyes were like two bright crimson starts, the same color and intensity the crimson light inside of him had.

Fifth Shadow felt he was suddenly dragged into a world with endless corruption. All he could see was that dark red matter that covered the ground and red crystals everywhere, just like it had consumed everything, consumed even the other forms of energy and life.

It was the end.

His body started to crystalize into one of those red crystals, losing his strength bit by bit. His vision turned crimson and he turned into a red crystal statue.

Crack!

His body shattered into tiny pieces, dying in just some few seconds after looking into Seth's eyes.

Seventh Shadow was already madly sprinting to the farthest place he could go, trying to stay away from Seth. He didn't know what was happening, but he knew he would be doomed if he got caught.

Seth turned his head to look towards that distancing figure, and the Corruption felt his desires. It acted accordingly with them, moving quickly towards the place Seventh Shadow was, corrupting everything in its way.

Seventh Shadow felt a sense of crisis and realized something was following him. When he turned back to quickly look, he saw the whole world turning into a red purgatory, moving towards him and engulfing everything on the way.

That corruption was spreading in a speed even a Mana Control peak-stage like him had no chance to escape from it. Actually, only Mana Sovereign cultivators may have a chance to escape at the speed it was moving.

Boom!

Seventh Shadow aura skyrocketed, since he used everything he had, in order to escape from the incoming doom, making even the ground and air blast with the quantity of Mana he infused in his running skills.

Seventh Shadow speed increased so much, that he even surpassed the speed Third Shadow was able to create at the Profound Mana middle-stage Realm.

His body vanished from the spot it was, since he used the Second Step of his Shadow Walk many times in a quick succession.

However, even though he was running with everything he got, he never felt he was able to shake that feeling of doom. He turned around one last time, to see if he was distancing himself from death, but just as he turned, his whole body was engulfed by the Crimson Corruption, getting corrupted and instantly being swallowed by it.

He turned into crimson shards of corruption, vanishing right after.

Yuyin wanted to run to where Seth was minutes ago, however, after seeing what had just happened, she felt fear. She was only able to see his back and not his crimson red eyes, but just looking at him standing there, gave her the dreadful feeling he was the harbinger of doom.

Suddenly, the whole environment around that area stopped, the crimson corruption stopped going forwards and started to retract. The speed it came back was ten times faster than it had expanded, creating a huge flux of energy that generated a blast.

Boom!

”AAAAAAHHHHH!”

Yuyin was sent flying and Huo Shihong's body flew away too.

The whole corrupted energy that had absorbed and corrupted many things entered Seth's body going directly towards that separate space. The Crimson Light lodged there, absorbed everything, just like how it did when it was still a seed.
