382 Miracle Crystallization (1/2)

In Ye Qingxuan's eyes, the moonlight lit up, illuminating the reality. The moment the Garment and the flesh became one, he finally saw Crowley's true appearance.

Within the solid darkness, countless tiny music notes connected, constructing an entirely different interval like a vast music score.

At just a glance, Ye Qingxuan knew this music theory was too far beyond him. It contained the School of Modifications, Revelations, Summoning, and even Abstinence… These different theories were combined under one wild rule, transforming into the power of the abyss.

It revealed itself using the aether. This was the true nature of the Garment—a weapon carved with a symphony of predestination and even containing a scepter!

But amidst the complex music theory, within the rising and falling notes, music theory intertwined and countless music sheets twisted together. They vaguely formed a menacing face that changed with Crowley's expressions. It seemed to cry, laugh; it seemed to be furious or depressed. It was tempting, luring one into its emotions.

Just as the Romulusian alchemists had used a music score's spirit to replace a man's will, this music theory had created something comparable to a man's will.

No, this came from a man's will!

The moonlight traced the roots and Ye Qingxuan used the interpretation method to find a critical point among the messy music theory. The point was using the way of raising beasts by the School of Summoning to cut a person up psychologically and join the pieces into the music score…

This was where Crowley had come from. He was a beast born from the pieces of a man's personality and soul! But who could create the Garment while cutting himself apart and joining it at the same time?

Here, Ye Qingxuan's expression grew bitter. Who else could it be?

”You're 'Paganini,' right?” Studying Crowley, he said haltingly, ”You're made from the pieces of Paganini… He cut out the wildest, darkest part of himself and you were born!”

Crowley studied him in return. He seemed to smile and his eyes changed. Under the menacing mockery, a shred of pleasant shock flashed by. However, it quickly turned into an unnerving murderous glare.

”You must be Ye Qingxuan.” He looked at the young man behind Wolf Flute and lowered his head slightly. ”As expected of the genius highly recommended by Naberius. That picky fellow was right.”

”What did he say?” Ye Qingxuan felt a chill.

”For people like you, if you can't become a right hand man, then one day you would become a scourge!” Crowley narrowed his eyes. ”But sadly…you won't get the chance!”

Wolf Flute's expression changed. He shoved Ye Qingxuan to the side.

Ye Qingxuan stumbled but silver light flashed before his eyes. The light changed, flitting past countless images in a second. In the last instant, he saw darkness swallow him. The armor of the Blade Dancer instantly rusted as if a millennium had passed.

The moonlight only held on for a moment before breaking down. He spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling his organs fail. During this dizziness, he saw Wolf Flute jump into the aether world with the help of his scepter and land back in the material world. He crossed hundreds of meters in an instant.

Darkness swallowed everything. However, this time, the power was like a blazing sun. It created storms in the aether sea. The darkness rushed into the sky, practically enveloping the entire city. It called for the abyss's power and activated the huge wind tunnel again.

It was like a ring of darkness. It loomed over the city and pushed down!

At the city's peak, the Sacred Fire wavered.

”F*ck, is this shirt high on crack? It's too powerful.” Wolf Flute's hoarse voice sounded in his ears. ”Leave us and run! These guys must've planned something. The entire city will sink into the abyss. You have to find that d*mn Romulusian girl!”

”And then?” Ye Qingxuan froze.

”And then you know what to do.”

Wolf Flute's answer was calm—calm to the point of being chilling. Then the voice disappeared. The moonlight threads snapped. Wolf Flute had cut off the coherence between the two.
