Chapter 527: Porcupine-like Mutation (2/2)

”What is it?” Leon glanced at the Silver impassively.

The three-tailed silver wolf snorted.

Shortly after, Leon thought of something was glanced back at Duna and took a peek under her draped clothes before his brows furrowed.

Generally, the soul dress made of Yin Energy is white. It only becomes black after mixing with Darkness Energy, which has also become a distinguishable trait of Duna and Lumi switching personas.

However, Duna became white-dressed since her awakening while Lumi was nowhere to be seen. Now that they have become black-dressed, does this mean Lumi has reclaimed control of the body?

Even if that was the case, she was still unconscious. And more importantly, what about Duna? Was she okay?

”You worked hard.”

Leon sighed softly while gazing down at Duna and Lumi's sleeping face.

After a moment, Leon carefully sent their body into the Worldspace and placed them on the ice bed within the Yin-biome of the herb garden.

This was done to preserve their body and prevent their present condition from possibly deteriorating.

Furthermore, there was no better place for Leon to put them. Evidently, the ice bed was the best choice available to him.

Nevertheless, Leon's frown did not relax after his astral avatar disappeared from the Worldspace and returned his consciousness outside.

”Duna and Lumi will not be able to recover if they cannot regain their consciousness...” Leon muttered while rubbing his frown.

”Hm?”

Leon suddenly paused with a thoughtful look.

”I recall reading about a type of spiritual treatment technique that allows a person to dive into the consciousness of their patients to rouse them awake from their long comas and vegetative states... I should look further deeper into this once I get back.”

In truth, he had started reading into this technique that was called [Soul Dive] while he was researching soul-related treatments in the Archive when Duna and Lumi had fallen unconscious previously.

However, he thought that it was no longer necessary after Duna awakened. But as it turns out, it was still required in the end.

”Silver, we are done here. Let us head back to the Great Wall!” Leon called out to the nearby three-tailed silver wolf.

”Awrooof!” Silver responded.

...

Meanwhile, back at the Great Wall, the rat tide situation became intense after the rats completed their mutation phase.

Their danger level was raised to new heights.

”Here comes another wave! Raise your shields, men!” General Marquis Hendrick barked to human soldiers and elven warriors alike.

At that moment, everyone had retreated back to the top of the Great Wall, equipped with vine shields.

After hearing General Marquis Hendrick's orders, they immediately raised their large shields together and entered a tortoise-like formation as numerous spikes shot over from below.

The Wingrats became similar to Porcupines after their drastic mutation. Their entire missing layer of fur was replaced by hundreds of spikes that could be projected from their bodies like missiles!

Even worse, these spikes could be quickly regrown!

At the bottom of the Great Wall on the Human Domain's side, several soldiers could be seen skewered to death by said spikes.

Evidently, everyone had already experienced the threat of the spikes firsthand and made countermeasures.
