Chapter 63: Demon Altar (Part 2/2)

The Human-Faced Arachnid was like a top-notch looter and arsonist.

Luo Nan was certain that the Human-Faced Arachnid had swept this place clean. It wouldn’t be excessive to say that it had wrung every ounce of blood and essence from them. But through it all, the Human-Faced Arachnid had displayed outstanding skill in stealing.

It had consumed until it was filled with negative emotions and the corresponding life force energy. It had siphoned most of these people down to their base emotions, leaving just some grass on the surface of the ground. Then it had lit a fire in delight.

The loss of control over negative emotions was tinder for the fire. The life force energy floating in the air was what lit the fire.

There were many cases like this in reality. The weaker one’s body gets, the more one can’t control their desires. And when one loses control, the last bit of life force in their body gets squeezed clean.

Right now at the spectator stands, all the rich guests, their private secretaries and mistresses, and the great quantity of staff members of the fighting arena were ignorantly caught in this situation.

As soon as Luo Nan realized what the problem was, the circumstances of the fighting arena turned completely differently in his eyes.

This was no fighting arena, this was a brazier that would soon burn dry and break. Or perhaps it was the caverns of a deep mine that was filled with gas…… One that had already been lit aflame.

The large quantity of negative emotions and evanescent life force energy formed a burning massive cloud that could not be seen by the naked eye. It pervaded everywhere on the mental plane

If these people could sense their own soul, they would discover that a terrifying feeling of suffocation had already descended upon them.

And so Crag Burst, an Awakened, could sense the intense feeling of incongruity from within. He wanted to eliminate this feeling that was born from the current situation.

How was this situation created?

Luo Nan was disinclined to think further about the last moments of these rich guests at the spectator stands. Instead, he was rather interested in the Human-Faced Arachnid’s actions.

In any case, Jack wasn’t making any particular movements at the moment. So Luo Nan just patted the Human-Faced Arachnid beneath him and indicated to this fellow to give him a demonstration.

Obviously the Human-Faced Arachnid wouldn’t decline. It charged back into the fighting arena a few instances later. It buried its devilish body deep within the flaming cloud. Its six demonic eyes were half open and half closed and it opened its sinister mouth wide. It sucked the flaming cloud inside and spat out the unstable turbid vapor of emotions out, forming an exchange of stability.

Luo Nan understood completely now. The Human-Faced Arachnid couldn’t disobey the conditions of his order, so it had created this killer poison environment; it did the utmost to dispel the components of the turbid flow of emotions that it disliked the most. Luo Nan didn’t know how much of an improvement the entire process yielded, but it was fine as long as the Human-Faced Arachnid was happy.

In essence, the fighting arena was no longer a location that provided the rich guests with stimulation and wanton amusement they desired. Instead, it was an enormous altar. They believed themselves to be rulers, but now they had turned into livestock that were placed upon the altar. They would be slaughtered anytime the Human-Faced Arachnid demanded it.

Even though this didn’t conform with Luo Nan’s aesthetics, Luo Nan didn’t feel a need to amend things.

He swept a glance towards Jack. That fellow had slowed down his pace. Seemed like he was muttering something to himself. Luo Nan didn’t need the Human-Faced Arachnid to be beside him in order to tail Jack. The previous battle proved that it would be easier to adapt to new situations if Luo Nan and the Human-Faced Arachnid were separated.

So Luo Nan let the Human-Faced Arachnid stay behind in the fighting arena. It would be good for the Human-Faced Arachnid to stabilize its foundation a bit.

But then an unforeseen event occurred within the ten seconds after making the decision.

Rui Wen, who had been standing with dangling hands all this time on the stage, suddenly raised her head. Her gaze faced the empty sky above her head. There was a broadcast display over there. It was displaying her image.

Several people noticed this change. Soon they gave rational explanations for the cause:

“Oh, oh, oh. The flat-chested witch has started to become depressed.”

“Is she trying to see what she looks like in her last moments?”

“Look! Look! There won’t be a chance in the future!”

A disturbance, which was not too big yet not too small, arose in the fighting arena. The spectators became excited. Their debased mockery mixed with their uninhibited emotions and was cast on stage.

Rui Wen didn’t react at all towards their provocation. She just looked upwards in a daze…… Was she really looking at herself on the display?
