V2 Chapter 156

“This demon boy… is he tired of living?!”

A voice appeared.

Her wonderful voice almost sounded like the performance of some heavenly instrument. Following after, a figure came out from the Crimson Blood Tree—a beautiful silhouette that looked quite elegant and beautiful, just like a snow lotus high above the celestial mountain, noble and glamorous.

Her figure fluttered like a butterfly as her scarlet-colored one-piece dress swayed in the wind.

Cian, in his vague and fuzzy consciousness, heard about the female voice and turned his head towards the source.

Blue veins on his face started throbbing, looking as if there were enormous worms drilling on his skin. What shocked anyone who saw it was that they could hear the sound of his muscles stretching and twitching. It looks really horrifying.

Amazement gradually rose in his heart as he saw the figure. Saying that the beauty appeared like a picture to describe her was not an exaggeration. What truly caused Cian to feel amazed was the gracefulness and nobility in her? Cian’s gaze swept across her face, which appeared so fragile that a single breath could break it.

If he thought Blue Bird and his Mother Sitana were already the most beautiful women he had seen in this world, no, in his entire life in fact, then he was mistaken. Although not as fierce and imposing as his mother, or as mysterious and charming as Bluebird, then, this was a girl full of nobility and pureness…as if she was a beautiful flower, elegant and graceful.

Who was she…?

“How quaint, he didn’t die immediately from such a massive influx of violent magic power? I would have thought that he’s a demi-god to be able to endure it this long. But since I do not detect the Blood of Gods, perhaps he is not an ordinary demon?... well, if he survived then he would eventually one in any case,”

Seeing the mysterious beauty in her graceful and yet cold self as she stared at him without even doing anything, Cian’s brows furrowed.

You’re not helping me?!

His eyes glared at her selfishly.

Although Cian was lascivious and admit himself as a womanizing scum, he has a strong heart. Even with this heaven-defying beauty, his heart was not stolen by that glamorous figure. Although he did feel that no other woman in this world is more beautiful than her. Especially her noble and elegant temperament. However, in his eyes, there were two kinds of women, those that he loved and cherished, and those that were a pack of white bleached bones!

And this girl was no exception!

Feeling Cian’s horrifying gaze that seemed to be able to kill someone, the pretty woman was stunned, and then she let out a chuckle. “I know what you want to say, but sadly, this is beyond me as well. Although I don’t know how you were able to consume, even if it’s the smallest essence residue from those bones, you are the one to blame. You might be strong and powerful, but anyone can tell your body is not enough to hold such power. Little Demon, these skeletons would have been a normal ordinary magic bones for anyone… but you… how are you able to devour the essence residue and even trying to make it yours…what a baffling but interesting ability…” she reached out her hand, and then swept aside the bangs almost covering his eyes.

“What beautiful eyes, you have,”

Her voice had a little sex appeal to it.

“Who…are you…?”

“Oh?!”

The beautiful woman stared at Cian, surprised.

To think he could still talk…

Normal people in his situation would have died by now, or perished after exploding. But this boy…

After her exclamation, the expression in her eyes filled with more and more surprises. She stared wide-eyed at Cian’s skin slowly becoming dark red. Then, it burst apart with a translucent, illusion-like fur, and heard the sound his bones exploding and calcining…

This kind of pain was simply unimaginable. Even with her strength, she still trembled with fear as if she was feeling it personally. She completely understood that even someone like her would find it extremely difficult to withstand this kind of pain.

And yet…

This little demon…

Not a single trace of a scream emerged from his mouth!

His face was already completely distorted, his pair of eyes became a crimson red, but within the widely forced open eyes, apart from infinite pain… he was still undeniably wide awake!

He can even retain his consciousness and talk… what kind of terrifying monster is this demon?

That kind of pain, even if it was herself, she would definitely howl or scream, but this boy… did not even let out a sound!

How much terrifying willpower did this require!

Impossible!

This cannot possibly be the amount of willpower a little demon like this would possess!

The beautiful woman raised her head with eyes filled with shock. She had always been treating this little demon as a freak after watching him fight against the army of Silver Scaled Apes and the group of Manticores single-handedly. Although he was surely not beyond the level of a 4th Level Mortal Body, he could actually release power rivaling the battle strength of a 6th Level Mortal Body. But at this moment, she was shocked about this little demon’s terrifying amount of willpower.

He was a freak amongst freaks, causing her to be incapable of not being deeply shocked.

When did the world birth such a freak of nature?

The more she thought about this, the more the beautiful woman felt regret and somewhat disappointed. Even if his willpower and endurance were stronger, it did not mean that he could live through the erosion of God’s blood.

She regretfully said with a low voice: “You really overestimated yourself! It’s too bad, I wanted someone to accompany me for a little while longer!”

“Shut… up!!”

What caused the beautiful woman to be shocked was that the little demon who was on the verge of death can still really speak… and in this terrifying condition, he didn’t give out a blood-curdling scream, and instead he had let out a cold, calm voice.

His voice was incredibly hoarse and displeasing to hear as if it came from a dying elderly, but his pronunciation was exceptionally clear: “I…don’t…know who…you…are, but you better…leave me alone…or else…you’ll pay… the price…!”

“Hardly convincing with that appearance of yours…”

Both of the beautiful woman’s eyes narrowed, then muttered with a mischievous smile. She saw that Cian’s skin was completely burnt black; the bones’ crackling sounds were concentrated as if a few hundred pieces of glass were broken at the same time.

Cian’s current miserable condition couldn’t help but make the woman have a sense of horror as well as disappointment.

She sighs: “Good! Then let me see… just how you plan on staying alive!! If you do, I will give you a reward…”

“… …”

“You seem to like the fruit I bear, I will give that to you… although it wouldn’t mature for a few months, I can quicken the process…but that is if you still manage to live…”

Cian heard her words and felt somewhat strange.

This woman… could she be the spirit of the Crimson Blood Tree? He wanted to clarify it but he doesn’t have any strength anymore. His teeth were nearly completely chewed until shattered at this moment. He could feel his flesh, bones… even his bone marrow felt like it had been put on top of a fire and burned, being fried as if immersed into boiling oil.

This kind of pain absolutely could not be described with any kind of words. He basically couldn’t breathe. His four limbs were immobilized, his organs exhausted or even broken down. He could also feel countless streams of irritable energy in his body thrashing around.

The surface of his body was already completely pitch-black, filled with detailed cracks leaking out countless streams of blood.

He really suffered a misfortune this time…

Cian’s body in this instant was as weak as a tissue that could be ripped apart with one tear. His bodily functions had nearly decayed completely.

What was left was only his willpower and obsessed soul. Cian felt he made a major mistake as he used every single bit of willpower to keep consciousness awake. He shut both of his eyes, closing off his five senses and consciousness.

The cracks on his body rapidly increased, and the burnt-like black body gradually deepened. Apart from this, Cian was completely still, like a weathered sculpture.

Did he die?

Not yet… from his body, the beautiful woman still felt a slight trace of life.

If it was any other person at this stage, they would have definitely passed away long ago. But on Cian’s body, there was still a trace of life.

As time passed, unwilling to disappear, this trace of life continued to hang onto him.

The beautiful woman shook his head and sighed. So what if there’s still a breath left? In this condition, there was basically no hope of surviving.

With God’s Blood entering his body, the tyrannical power would destroy his organs, bones, blood, physical body… a mortal body cannot contain God's Blood. Unless his physical body had at least reached the boundary of the 9th rank Mortal Body, ready to broke through Ascension and become a true Demi-God, there would still be a chance of failure. Much less, he was just a 4th rank Mortal.

Worst is that, before this, the first thing to be destroyed was his magic core that couldn’t contain the massive amount of the purest of all magic power!

Even if he stubbornly has a breath of life left, what could he even do?

But the beautiful woman had no way of knowing that even though Cian’s body was ninety percent destroyed, his soul at the moment, was completely fine!

It was trapped inside his left eye, in the [Night’s Eye] soul realm.

Within it, his soul was completely safe; After all, this eye was the Eye of Night, a True God. How could it be destroyed from the strength that came from merely a few drops of a Demi-God’s blood!

Life through success, death through failure!!

With his five senses and consciousness shut off, he could not hear anything, and he already could not feel the pain on his body.

Inside his mind, the only thing that remained was the alternatively twinkling red and blue lights inside his body, and a weaving stream of power from the unknown source that had planted itself inside his chest…

Time, for Cian, became endlessly long.

Two hours passed…

Four hours passed…

Six hours passed…

...and finally…

Cian’s life force extinguished.

… … …

He died…

Seeing this, the beautiful woman sighs regrettably.

As expected, he couldn’t endure until the end.

At this moment, Cian’s body started to dry up and wither.

However, it was not long after it happened. Cian’s dead body glowed golden—

‘You cannot die, my love… you cannot!’ a familiar voice appeared inside Cian’s mind. It was Night… the promise of immortality had kicked in. His old friends and classmates were immortal… but so was he!

‘…your soul is mine, in the past, in the present, and in the future… you’ve always been mine…!’

‘Be reborn… my seed of evil…’

Cian couldn’t understand what Night was talking about. She appeared a bit possessive but hides a hidden meaning behind her words. However, as Cian fell into deep thought, wondering, he suddenly got startled as from [Night’s Eye], a strange power surged forth, combating the tyrannical power that was going wildly inside him.

Suddenly, the red-haired woman snapped her head to the withered corpse of Cian as she felt a peculiar vibration behind her.

A golden point on the demon youth’s body had suddenly appeared, and it rushed towards every part of his body, like a golden vein. A second point, a third point, then countless points appeared and spread through Cian’s body like a spiderweb, no, rather, like golden veins.

“This is…?!”

In this period of time, the beautiful woman’s gaze was locked onto Cian’s unmoving body. She stared at the blinding golden veins that covered the charred corpse/body. He should have died… this little demon should have died. And yet… how is this possible?! How did he get revived?! This is impossible!

Even if he has a resurrection item or a revival seed of legend, how can it be this fast?!

Is he an immortal?!

The beautiful woman couldn’t understand what was going on anymore. Her body started trembling in shock as she watched the growing life force and vitality on the dead withered body.

The blackened skin started to crack, and some even fell off, showing a healthy rosy skin beneath. It’s as if he was a phoenix, undergoing a rebirth. His skin under the burnt carcasses was as fair as that of a newborn child.

Suddenly a powerful force pushed her away, catching her off-guard causing her to feel in her butt. The large skeleton that was covered in bush and vines started to shake as if it was alive, and under the stunned expression of the Manticore and the beautiful woman, the large skeleton actually glowed in crimson light, shrunk and shot towards Cian’s body.

Black and red mist appeared, covering him in a cocoon-like sphere.

Anyone outside cannot see what’s going on within the black and red sphere.

“He…he actually absorbed the entirety of that monster…?! This is impossible!!”
