Chapter 344: The Great Old One Awakens
Brilliant golden light followed Duanmu Xing's hands as she stroked Nie Yingying's brow. With the 【Blood Clan】's already formidable recovery ability plus the healing of 【Holy Healing Art】, Nie Yingying's eyes immediately stopped bleeding, but her previously full and beautiful eyes were now shriveled and collapsed, no longer as beautiful as before.
Grabbing Nie Yingying's hands, Duanmu Xing and Agasha immediately hid behind a giant rock with the little mermaid Ariel, to prevent that towering giant palm from appearing in their sight again.
"Sister Nie! Sister Nie! Your eyes... how can they not have recovered!"
Even without Duanmu Xing's 【Holy Healing Art】, just relying on Nie Yingying's 【Blood Clan】 recovery ability, that pair of eyeballs should have grown back!
"Not good!"
"Sister Nie!"
Agasha's question had not yet been answered when strange, incomparable scales began to grow on Nie Yingying's body, and inexplicable water droplets began to seep out from the gaps in those scales.
Two pure, incomparable golden lights appeared on Nie Yingying's body almost at the same time.
One holy light was gentle and tenacious, shrouding Nie Yingying's entire body, trying to heal any injury or illness in her body!
One holy light was persistent and domineering, turning into a halo wandering all over Nie Yingying's body, trying to expel any abnormality in her body!
These two holy lights were skills released by Duanmu Xing and Vivian at the same time, but when the holy light dissipated, the scale abnormality on Nie Yingying's body did not improve at all. Instead, the water droplets seeping from the gaps in the scales had turned into mucus, and it was becoming increasingly thick.
Nie Yingying had already lost her eyes, but she could clearly perceive the holy light that Duanmu Xing and Vivian had cast on her.
Wiping her hands over her arms, Nie Yingying immediately knew why the two sisters wanted to use healing skills on her.
"Axing! Vivian! Stop, this is neither an injury nor a curse!"
Unlike the silly Vivian, Duanmu Xing understood Nie Yingying's meaning instantly. Along the way, Xie Yaoyao had explained a lot of stories and settings about Cthulhu Mythos, and she had also instinctively used skills on Nie Yingying just now.
After Nie Yingying finished speaking, her right index finger condensed blood magic power and pointed in front of her, then quickly drew a complex blood-colored magic array. When the last stroke was drawn, blood light shrouded her entire body. The scales that had been growing wildly on her body immediately stopped growing, and mucus no longer seeped from the gaps in the scales.
"Seal Art, it worked! But..."
Agasha touched Nie Yingying's arm with heartache. Although the Seal Art successfully stopped the mutation on her body, it only stopped it, and did not eliminate the mutation that had already begun on her body.
"Sister Nie, what should we do?"
Nie Yingying shook her head; she hadn't fully adapted to the feeling of blindness yet.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry! A-Yao is in charge of the authority of flesh and blood, this degree of flesh and blood mutation is not a problem!" Nie Yingying's hand gestures didn't stop, and a blood-colored eyeball condensed in her hand. "Alright, let's leave here quickly, remember not to look back!"
After speaking, the magic eyeball floated above Nie Yingying's head. Nie Yingying, who had been blind, seemed to have regained her sight, and she stood up and prepared to lead the crowd to retreat to the edge of the city.
Just at this moment, a familiar palm pressed gently on her shoulder.
"Why are you so careless?" The gentle voice seemed to contain some special power, and the scales on Nie Yingying's body immediately began to fall off, revealing the fair skin inside. And inside the pair of shriveled eye sockets, there was a squirming, and when she opened them again, it was a pair of wine-red beautiful eyes. "Big goods have appeared! As I expected! Yingying, you take them and retreat further back, I'll go and lure Cthulhu's attention to the other side of the city!"
As if he had never appeared, Xie Yaoyao's figure appeared for less than five seconds and disappeared in place again.
"Ah! Sister Nie, you're better! You've become beautiful again!"
Duanmu Xing cried with joy. Although she had blind trust in Xie Yaoyao, seeing Nie Yingying recover like this with her own eyes still made the little girl cry happily.
Everyone was very happy, except for Vivian, whose big face stretched straight to less than ten centimeters in front of Nie Yingying's face, asking with a puzzled face: "Did I remember wrong? Wasn't Sister Nie black-eyed?"
Nie Yingying, who had just recovered, was full of helplessness. The focus of this clown was always so strange, but this time she didn't have time to speak before Vivian was pulled by the arm by Agasha beside her.
"Alright, Sister Vivian, don't mess around! It's really dangerous here, Brother Yao told us to retreat first!"
Agasha hadn't finished speaking when the movement in the center of the city in the distance became more and more significant, with earthquakes one after another, just like an ancient giant waking up.
In fact, it was indeed an ancient giant waking up.
In the center of R'lyeh, a huge god was slowly waking up from the ground.
That god was incomparably tall, its slightly bloated and fat body was very similar to a human, but it had an octopus-like head, and a pair of long and tattered demon wings behind it were very uncoordinated, especially since it was dripping with unknown mucus, making people feel an uncontrollable disgust just by looking at it!
The just-awakened Cthulhu just lifted its foot casually, and the followers kneeling on the ground beside it died in large numbers, but they had no regrets, because their bodies and minds had long been dedicated to the great Cthulhu, or rather, they had lost their bodies and minds the moment Cthulhu woke up.
"Hehe, Cthulhu has woken up!"
Xie Yaoyao, who had flashed away from Nie Yingying and the others, appeared at the foot of Cthulhu, with a smile that was clearly impossible to suppress.
"Perceived it! I perceived it! The tremor of the world will! Then let me add another fire!"
The just-awakened Cthulhu was just about to yawn and send out a wave of morning anger.
Its octopus head "exploded with a bang."
The originally terrifying head instantly had only half left attached to that huge body, while the other half was blown away and fell to the ground.
"Hehe!"
Xie Yaoyao, who had succeeded in his prank, disappeared again, leaving only a pile of inconspicuous flesh and blood in place.
Having the whole head blown off by half didn't affect any of Cthulhu's actions. As the tentacles entangled and squirmed, its huge head quickly fused and recovered.
It still opened its abyss mouth and yawned a big yawn, it was just that the originally regular octopus head had become a disgusting tangle of tentacles.
Subsequently, invisible sound waves came from that irregular head, instantly sweeping across the entire city of R'lyeh and rippling toward the distance of the Storm Sea.
"As expected of a Great Old One's true body, it's really terrifying!"
Xie Yaoyao appeared behind Nie Yingying's fleeing group in a flash, blocking the infrasonic waves that swept past. ===== CHAPTER 345 =====
