Chapter 74 : The Fisherman's Profit
Chapter 74 : The Fisherman's Profit
"I am the Blood Witch, guide of the red moon, beginning of crimson, the terminator of all life."As she recited the complete true words, a powerful aura burst forth. The magnificent sound of flowing water came, and a sea of blood crashed down from the sky. In the center of this blood ocean, a bloody throne slowly rose behind Bai Ling. Bai Ling slowly sat down and patted the throne's armrest.
In that instant, the skull head was scattered by the shock wave, splitting into countless thin black wires that reassembled in the distance. The two faced each other.
"Impossible! How can you still retain such powerful strength!"
"..."
The skull head suddenly began releasing countless black mists, enveloping this area. He continuously moved within the black mist, circling around Bai Ling. Soon countless identical skull heads appeared.
They all spat out black wires attacking Bai Ling. Bai Ling didn't move - the blood sea below continuously rose up, creating barriers to protect her.
Suddenly Bai Ling's gaze focused, extending her right hand to point in one direction. In that instant, countless blood boiled and surged toward that location. The black mist was dispersed, the black wires kept splitting trying to escape, but anything touched by Bai Ling's blood was dissolved. Finally, there were fewer and fewer, and the skull head's form was no longer as imposing as before.
"Damn it, you should die! Killing you a thousand times wouldn't be enough!"
"..."
The skull head, now several sizes smaller, looked down to see his city submerged by the blood sea, his body corroded to half its size. Despite the endless rage in his heart, he had no way to deal with the Blood Witch.
"I am the incarnation of shadow, I walk in darkness, I am the master of Black City - Harden!"
With his true words, the black wires submerged below actually began breaking through the blood sea, no longer corroded by the blood, beginning to gather around him and repair his form.
While restoring his body, the skull head summoned countless strengthened black wires to pierce toward Bai Ling. The blood could no longer resist those black wires, but whenever the wires broke through defenses and approached the crimson throne, a blood-red light screen would appear to devour all approaching attacks.
"I am the incarnation of shadow, I walk in darkness, I am the master of Black City - Focus!"
With his second true words, countless black wires began gathering before him, forming a spiral drill. Seeing this, Bai Ling rose from the throne, summoning a crimson spear in her hand. The two collided from left and right.
As the spear tip and drill collided, the blood-red spear tip began to cave in at first, and the skull head was overjoyed.
"Hahahaha, nothing more than this!"
But soon he noticed something wrong. It wasn't that Bai Ling's spear was caving in - the spear was slowly turning into blood and wrapping around him. The crimson spear tip transformed into countless blood drops that enveloped the entire drill along with the skull head behind it.
Then it formed a sphere, with the blood sea below also beginning to wrap upward, finally forming a huge spherical meteor in the air. As Bai Ling clenched her hand, a deafening explosion sounded. This explosion had no flames - only countless blood splattering and a skull head the size of a normal human head remaining.
"..."
Bai Ling spun dizzily, about to fall. Blood Princess quickly came to her master's side, supporting her against a boulder.
The skull head on the ground had lost its fighting ability. Though not yet dead, it was about to dissipate.
"Blood Witch! You - should die!"
Just then, footsteps came. Blood Princess quickly drew her scythe alertly, looking toward the distance. A goat-headed, human-bodied anomaly slowly walked toward the black skull and picked it up.
"Who are you? What are you doing?"
The skull tried to struggle, but he could no longer break free from the man's hand. The goat man gripped the skull forcefully, continuously applying pressure.
"Ahhhhh! Stop! Ahhhhh!"
With a crisp cracking sound, an S-grade anomaly's death was announced...
"Hahahahaha!"
The goat-head man's aura grew increasingly powerful. He pinched up the dead skull with his fingers, raised his goat head, ate it, licked his lips - still wanting more!
"Finally..."
A brand new S-grade anomaly was born!
"Who are you?"
Blood Princess looked at the goat man warily.
"I must thank your master properly."
The goat man slowly approached Bai Ling. Seeing this, Blood Princess quickly raised her scythe. Seeing Blood Princess so resistant to his approach, the goat man waved his hand:
"Sigh, don't attack. I won't come over then."
"When your master wakes up, tell her that I, Goat, owe her a favor."
"My advancement condition was to stop an S-grade anomaly's advancement to Anomaly King and eat his core."
"Thank you very much for your master's help in my advancement."
"By the way, I didn't tell a single lie. Tomorrow."
The goat man suddenly took out his phone to check the time - 2 AM.
"Oh no, tonight, E City will be destroyed. I never said the destruction was caused by Black City. A kind reminder - leave quickly."
After speaking, he left this place as the true beneficiary of this great battle - a newly born S-grade anomaly.
"Master, wake up!"
Blood Princess shook Bai Ling in her arms. On the surface, Bai Ling was unconscious, but actually in her mental world, she was struggling with the Blood Witch for control of her body. The complete removal of the seal resulted in the awakening of the sealed Blood Witch herself.
"Little brat, surrender obediently. Don't struggle anymore."
"..."
Bai Ling had no energy to answer. Just like during the battle, she had to resist the Blood Witch's erosion with all her might.
"Let me control your body. I'll help you do everything you should do. You can stay peacefully in the mental space~"
The Blood Witch's voice continuously rang out. Whatever she said was accompanied by powerful mental attacks.
"Bad child, listen to me!"
The witch launched mental attack after mental attack but saw no effect, becoming somewhat angry.
"..."
【Chi Xiaoyu is still here, still not safe. And what exactly is my relationship with Su Wanying? And my little sister waiting for me at home】
【It's this late and I still haven't gone home. Little sister must be worried】
【And my cat, though she's silly】
【How could I possibly give up all this and give them all to you】
"Damn it, how is this child's willpower so strong?"
"I'll explode with you!"
Just as she was about to sacrifice her power to suppress Bai Ling's consciousness, a golden hourglass slowly appeared.
"I am the traveler of time, the end of time and the beginning of all things, the savior from the future and also the sinner, Sand of Time - Silence."
Everything returned to peace.
