C87 (1/2)

A strange pattern appeared on the bodies of the two burning men.

It was a streak of black attached to the red flame, and seemed to be moving slowly.

If one looked carefully, this black did not seem to have any physical entity. In other words, this black should be something like a shadow.

Gradually, the shape of the shadow appeared. It seemed to be the shadow of a man and a woman. There seemed to be a strange aura coming from the shadow.

The shadow appeared on top of the flames. If one were to look at it closely, they would notice that the shadow seemed to be struggling.

After all, it was just a shadow. It was too vague and difficult to determine.

Just like this moment, my first reaction seems to be to struggle, but if I were to look again …

It also seemed like he was dancing with joy.

Was this shadow also a soul? If it was a soul, why would it appear here?

I frowned slightly and stared at the shadow for a long time. Gradually, I seemed to hear waves of crazy laughter coming from within the flames.

At this moment, the two people who were being burned started letting out miserable screams. The screams were ear-piercing, as if they were reverberating in the entire village.

Amidst these screams, I could vaguely hear the sharp laughter.

This wave of laughter seemed to … It seemed to be the two shadows from just now!

It was just that they were covered up by the screams. If one didn't listen carefully, they wouldn't be able to catch it.

A chill went down my spine. What was going on? Why did such a strange situation occur?

At this moment, the flames on both of their bodies became increasingly intense. I could vaguely see that the two of them had already changed beyond recognition.

Logically speaking, at such a level, a person should have already died. Even if he hadn't died, he should have lost consciousness.

He should have fallen to the ground.

However, the two of them still stood there, screaming and struggling. Perhaps it was because they were in too much pain, but they were still wandering around everywhere as if they were looking for a chance of survival!

”Help me! ”Help me!”

That wave of hoarse voice seemed to come from his throat, as though it was no longer a human voice.

However, wherever they went, the villagers would keep their distance, afraid that the flames would affect them.

The villagers could also tell that this flame was very different from normal flames!

The screams really made my scalp tingle. Flames kept falling to the ground from the two of them. It was the grease on their bodies, or something else.

I've forgotten how long both their bodies were burning. It was a long time anyway.

I could feel that it was a pain that no one could endure. It was like being tortured in hell.

In the next few days, I would see two people screaming in my mind, their bodies covered in flames.

In fact, killing them with a single slash at that time would have made things easier for them.

But I was too scared to think of it.

The villagers did not expect this either.

When the two of them finally fell to the ground, the fire had also slowly died down.

When they saw the corpses under the flames, they could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.

It was because the corpse was already pitch black and shriveled, like charcoal. It was hard to understand how the corpse could still struggle just now.

As they struggled, I even heard a series of crunching sounds, like the grinding of charcoal.

I just watched as the two of them died. I was still powerless. Was it because I wasn't brave enough, or was it because I didn't learn enough myself?

Actually, I calmly recalled afterwards that even if I were to go through the whole list of Evil Theurgy s that I have learnt, it would still be of no use.

I didn't learn well enough myself, but everything that happened to me was really too strange.

Moreover, the current me still has no way to learn and use the things in the Evil Theurgy.

After all, what I had learned was too rigid, and I had never learned anything like it before. After reading the book, I would be able to apply it in the right places, which was basically impossible.
