96 Figh (1/2)

A few days earlier...

When the zombie managed to breakthrough the Nascent Soul stage, he destroyed the physical bodies of Kirios and the alligator. What nobody knew was that Kirios had already prepared for his physical body being destroyed so that he was able to transplant his soul into another auxiliary body and flee from danger.

Since it was a very experimental technique, Kirios could not use it on large living beings, so it ended up in an insect's body.

After leaving the Sacred Land without being discovered, he heard the news about his betrayal to the Sect, after a little investigation he discovered that Rainer had hidden everything that happened and had incriminated him!

”Damn brat, don't think this is over yet, I still have a trump card...” Kirios said as he entered into his secret underground alchemy laboratory.

There, in a room he met the first and only young man he had experimented with a few years ago, Guo Yi, just a couple of years back he was a talented young man who mysteriously disappeared overnight, but now he was not even the shadow of what he was.

His eyes deprived of light and life, his body tied to the surgical table covered with gore and blood reminded him of a house of horrors.

When Guo Yi saw Kirios turned into an insect, a small smile appeared on his face like he felt good knowing that he was not the only one who suffered during this time.

”You don't seem to be doing so well...” Whispered the young man after seeing his new appearance.

”Shut up! If I fall you will not be able to restore your body!” Kirios said in order to deceive the desperate young man.

”Impossible... this is not a reversible change...”

”I only have to graft what I removed, it's not complicated at all!”Kirios continued to convince Guo Yi, who had found a new light.

”All right... I'll help you...”

After a long deliberation, Guo Yi fell into the Devil's temptation and accepted the deal even though he knew that everything could be a deception.

...

”Kill that brat and I will give you back your body!” Shouted Kirios in his insect form.

Indifferent, Guo Yi threw the head on his crab pincer against Rainer before rushing towards him.

Rainer ducked to dodge the bloody remnants and guided his spiritual energy to his arm to unleash his attack.

Rainer's claw whipped the air towards Guo Yi's chest leaving ghostly groans as it approached its enemy.

Tormented faces appeared around the claw confusing their enemies before striking.

Clang! Clang!

With unparalleled speed, Guo Yi used his own claw and blocked Rainer's advance, although his body was hard, a wound appeared on his skin allowing the corrosive poison to seep into his body.

”It will take several attacks for the poison to show more effect... ”Rainer muttered after checking his enemy's strength.
