A spell-like chanting that was even and low surrounded the shrine Even chant was heavy with feverish passion and darkness It did not sound like it could be e of chanting, the illusion was triggered by the scalpel in Gu Jun’s hand It pierced through the mist that blocked the past and future
A letter filled with uneven handwriting of the foreign language appeared before his eyes like a otten “I miss the days at Carlet Acadedifferent topics with teachers and friends It was truly a time lost in innocent bliss Hoish those days would never end But I kno that is impossible I must admit with shame that I have failed
“My power and intellect are nothing before this scary storm I believe, even if I continue on this path, there won’t any chance for us to defeat those strange monsters There won’t be any chance for us to uncover the real truth about life, medicine, time, and space that is beyond the coence
“Perhaps death will givethis world… Please pass this oal in life Do not waver froood friend Raybundy Pedra especially He is capable enough to take over and surpass ive up, but I am sorry that I will have to depart first”
Gu Jun could see the illusion from a third-person perspective, but it also felt like he was experiencing the illusion himself from a first person perspective On the seaside cliff that was abandoned and cold, the sea breezes whipped savagely It was strong enough to al out of the cliffside He was standing there alone He looked toward the horizon The sea surface appeared to be boiling with black water He suddenly raised the scalpel in his hand and swiped it cleanly across his neck The sharp blade sheared through the skin and h the airpipe and cephalic artery Fresh blood blossomed into the air like the reddest flowers They danced on the wind before dropping on the stones A guttural noise echoed from his throat as the air was cut off…
The tired body swayed several tiround He looked down the endless sea and mumbled, “Ruin, ruin…”
He repeated the term multiple times The blood dyed the rocks around him red as the voice became more andto e materialize behind him He slowly turned his head around Several steps behind hily nowhere They were all shrouded in darkness, giving the illusion they were man, beast, or some creature in between It was hard to tell whether they were really there in person or this was histricks on hiures, a dark voice spoke peacefully “Our Great Old Ones have reserved a demonic seat for you Beyond the hulanced at these figures They were projections of the darkest abyss, but all he could see was light That was a ray of light that was going to bring him down the true path He stood up unsteadily The blood on the scalpel dripped to the floor He used his last breath to say, “I wish to know… those truths”
At thatca, and his cephalic artery was pulsing, but thankfully, neither had ruptured Gu Jun could see that he was still standing inside the altar Xue Ba, Uncle Dan, Lin Mo, and the rest were all around hi the Carlot Scalpel that had dissected many abnormal creatures and the weapon that Landon had used to commit suicide, his body and soul felt rejuvenated like he had just drunk froain Gu Jun’s consciousness had returned, and it had taken over his physical body The agitation and darkness of the Son of Misfortune was suppressed by another power; the power had been awakened fro of the illusion and helped revived his soul That was the bright consciousness of the Son of Steel It was as if it hispering directly in his brain, “Do not give up… End the chaos… You are the fruit…”
Following this new sensation were es, they coalescence into several thousands clear foreign characters With then spell Gu Jun still had no idea as theory behind the knowledge and application of spell but he did remember how to use one of them…
“Ah Jun?” The Demon Hunters had theirthe voice He was also the first to notice that Gu Jun had returned to therew louder Other than the four figures in red who remained unfazed, the faces of the other wilted men in black started to distort The mysterious pattern on their robes appeared to be soh the scary and insidious chanting
“הבשרשלךהואארוחהטובהשלנו,השםשלךיהיהשייךלנו,אניאדונך!”
