26 Eternal Death Isnst Poison? (2/2)

Hongyue's eyes glowed. A red mist wrapped around her right hand which allowed her fingers to plunged into the chest of the man with ease. Blood sprayed out and spattered across her face, but her expression never changed once. Her tongue slipped out and tasted the blood. She frowned, the taste was quite bitter, honestly not her type.

”Alas, I ended killing again. Didn't I tell you not to be too mean? You just had to go and hurt my feelings.” She laid her hand delicately over her heart as though she was really bothered. She chuckled mockingly.

The spy's eyes rolled back, taking his last breath. Hongyue wiped her hand on the clothing of the dead body and tossed him aside. She stared at her own garments in disgust.

”My, my skills are lacking.” She turned to the dead body. ”Do you see this? You ruined my outfit. What are you going to repay me with?”

Suddenly her head pounded in pain. Hongyue gritted her teeth in pain.

ternal Death!>

She stumbled back, unbalanced. Wasn't she fine before? Why was it flaring up again?

She leaned against the wall, puffing hard. Her mind thinking fast. This won't do. If it were the original soul, the chaotic energy would feed on the soul peacefully, gradually weakening the body over time until it crumbles as nothing stood in its way.

However, Hongyue's soul was similar to a demi-god. Her soul essence was charged with her sirenic powers which held a type of chaotic potential. Since now the full moon awakened it, the two powers needed to compete with each other to gain control over one another. If this got out of control, Hongyue was afraid a simple mortal body like this would not hold on.

Her eyes snapped to the dead body. She needed to regain control.

This will have to do, she couldn't be too picky anyway. She stretched out her arm, her fingertips resting on his forehead. She took a deep breath and drilled her own consciousness into his body. Her hand sank into his head without damaging his flesh almost like an astral projection. Once she felt a burning orb within her fingers, she concentrated on drawing in his life energy. Slowly but surely, the soul of the dead man was absorbed into the gem on her forehead.

As the pain subsided, Hongyue knew she couldn't take any more risk, she needed to find a body of water fast. The gem on her forehead pulsed violently before she vanished into the night.

After she left, someone stepped into the room.

Their footsteps stopped short before the dead body.
