300 Full Speed Ahead! (1/2)
With deep black pupils, the 'different Lumi' casually surveyed her surrounding with a careful look before proceeding to inspect her own limbs. Seeing that she was no longer shackled by demon chains, she broke into a wide grin.
It was not long before her gaze fell on Leon's general direction. Due to the faint connection established by the Blood Imprint, she immediately recognized Leon.
”Kukuku… I've said this before that if I were to be freed, I will kill you!”
Having said that, she pounced towards Leon.
Leon was prepared for her attack and had already drawn sufficient distance between them. With a single thought, the Blood Imprint on Lumi's soul core began to vibrate.
Outside of causing the Blood Imprint to explode, which would immediately cause death, the vibration of the Blood Imprint could torment the soul with soul-piercing pain.
The vengeful spirit's attack fell short as it dropped to the ground while hugging its head with both hands.
”Ahhh! What is happening?! What have you done to me?!”
”This is the Blood Imprint Lumi allowed me to plant on her soul core! If you don't want to die, then behave yourself!” Leon said coldly without a hint of mercy.
This other Lumi was malevolent and evil. Ignoring the reluctance in his heart, Leon will definitely follow through with his words if it forces his hand.
”Blood Imprint? My sister did? Ahhh!”
”Your sister?”
Leon narrowed his eyes into slits as he picked up some interesting information.
The other Lumi resisted the pain and got back onto her feet before staring back at Leon with murderous eyes. She did not answer him.
”What kind of damn thing is a Blood Imprint?! You must be the one seeking to harm us! I will kill you!” The other Lumi said while gnashing her teeth with great hatred and killing intent.
”Us?”
Leon frowned and increased the intensity of Blood Imprint's vibration, causing the other Lumi to fall back onto one knee.
”I won't deny that the Blood Imprint is a vile technique, but we had a deal. Lumi accepted the Blood Imprint for my help. I was the one who freed you!”
”What are you even saying? You were the one that freed us?” The other Lumi shook her head vehemently and spoke, ”Arghh! I don't know anymore! I don't get it at all! I'm going back!”
Soon, the malevolent aura dissipated, followed by Lumi's scream.
”Ahhh! It hurts! I don't know what I did wrong, but I'm sorry!”
Leon hurriedly stopped the Blood Imprint from vibrating, but Lumi could not endure the pain like her 'sister', fainted.
Leon caught the collapsed Lumi as his brows were furrowed with questions. He felt that Lumi's condition was not as simple as a mental disorder like a split personality but something more complex.
It appears that Lumi was someone with a story to tell. He was not so self-centered as to believe that he was the only one with a tragic past. In fact, he was considered more fortunate than most people.
”Now, what should I do with you?” Leon spoke to himself as he stared at the unconscious Lumi in his arms.
…
Sometime later, Leon exited Lost Isle Alley alone. Lumi was nowhere in sight. Marquis Haldir was the first to step forward. Strangely, his first words were not about the vengeful spirit.
”Are you done with everything here, Your Highness.”
”For now.” Leon nodded before saying, ”I need to make a quick trip to the World Tree.”
The Supreme Elder and Princess Faelyn were no interested in prying about the vengeful spirit if Leon did not bring up the matter. However, once Leon mentioned a trip to the World Tree, their eyes immediately lit up.
”You're going to the World Tree? Really? Can I come?” Faelyn asked excitedly.
Marquis Haldir did not say anything, but it was clear that the Supreme Elder was also interested in tagging along.
”Are you quick on your feet?” Leon gave Faelyn a glance, wondering where she would slow him down if he was to bring her along. He was only going to collect some spirit energy for the Teleportation Array.
”Are you going to say no if I say I'm not?”
”Yes,” Leon said straightforwardly.
”Then the answer is I am,” Faelyn said shamelessly.
”…”
