Chapter 354: Trap (Please vote for monthly tickets!!!)

Two rapidly moving figures exchanged blows at a speed invisible to the naked eye within the hall, which was filled with blood-corpses and banyan tree roots.

Both were Non-human Existences whose speed had reached a point where ordinary people could hardly capture them with the naked eye; every collision, every strike... caused terrifying damage to the surrounding environment.

The surrounding stone structures collapsed rapidly, and those banyan tree roots, comparable to steel, were snapped inch by inch.

Finally, a Scarlet figure emerged.

Bojin Suolun's fingernails grew long, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged, as if transformed into the sharp claws of a beast, reaching toward Aaron's chest.

Bang!

Aaron raised his sword to block, but the "Staff Sword" in his hand was grabbed by Bojin, easily twisted a few times until it became like a pretzel, and was discarded casually to the side.

Aaron retreated over ten meters within a cloud of blood mist, the clothing on his chest fluttering away in tatters, revealing fair and delicate skin.

'When did Bojin notify him? Right, that whistle... did he solidify a three-stage Prayer onto the whistle? The "Beast of Darkness" can also condense a prayer into a single beast roar through a unique vocal tract structure; the two should follow the same principle.'

In the hands of a "Sage," formless knowledge can be transformed into tangible power.

The "Law" on the opponent probably worked like the original curse of the "Crying Blade"—once a wound appeared on Aaron's body, he would bleed to death continuously!

In Bojin's mind, a large amount of miscellaneous and useless content had emerged, like a virus constantly replicating, causing his brain to briefly "crash"!

When Bojin came back to his senses, he felt a scorching heat on his chest.

"Heh... do you think this is ordinary fire?" Aaron manifested one white Fireball after another in his hands, continuously smashing them toward Bojin Suolun.

His expression remained unchanged.

He looked just like a miserable old man rescued from a fire scene.

Immediately after, two Mysterious runes representing knowledge and wisdom appeared in his eyes.

Aaron took a deep breath, and the "Heart of the Furnace" within his body continuously expanded and contracted... emitting astonishing kinetic energy.

He looked at the completely destroyed Staff Sword and sighed: "As expected... I am not a true 'Scarlet Noble' after all, not to mention you also reinforced yourself with a 'Law'..."

Around him, pure white flames burned, making his whole person look like a giant moving Fireball!

Amidst the flames, the two figures collided violently, sharp claws clashing with burning fists.

"Seeing your wound, why wasn't I infected? Naturally, it was already Purified..."

'Why didn't the opponent do this earlier? Instead, he used oral recitation for the Prayer... Was this to confuse me, to make it easier to use the whistle later to summon a powerhouse to descend? Thereby... hunting me?'

"Although... I don't know how you evaded my 'Law'... but..."

Bojin Suolun dodged rapidly, relying on his own speed at times, and transformed into bats to scatter at others, but he was still caught by the pure white flames, becoming even more disheveled.

"Cough, cough..."

The "Law" on this Non-human Existence had two effects; the first was to reinforce himself, becoming more powerful the more blood flowed out.

He had already felt the approach of death!

That scorching temperature was even continuously evaporating the Blood Pool, causing it to gradually dry up and revealing the ghastly white bones at the bottom!

In reality, even if the communication succeeded, unless the other party was of the "Shadow" path, it would be difficult for them to arrive immediately; at most, they could respond by descending a "Law."

'The "Blood of Decay" really has foreign aid! A Crown of "Red"? He can teleport over... and he even prepared a high-level Magical Item of "Shadow"? So he possesses teleportation capabilities?'

While moving, Aaron quietly shifted his aspect, transforming into the "Tower."

The second effect was terrifying Meme infection!

"There is a Crown within the range of this city?"

"Furnace" form!

This was Aaron's strongest combat form!

A trace of a smile appeared on his face as the giant white Fireball leaped out violently.

The next moment, accompanied by a scream, Bojin retreated as a blood shadow, his clothes becoming tattered, most of his eyebrows, beard, and hair burned away, and his body covered in multiple terrifying burn marks.

Bojin Suolun let out a hoarse sound.

Furthermore, anyone who had a memory of the wound would simultaneously be struck by the curse, with bleeding wounds appearing on their bodies!

"Your path... what exactly is it?"

Bojin coughed up blood, but his Non-human grade vitality allowed him to continue acting for a period even after his heart was crushed!

"Blood Magic - Stagnation Curse!"

His Spirituality surged, and blood flowed continuously from the wounds on his body; under the reinforcement of the 【Blade Ritual】, his Spirituality became the most powerful at the moment of near-death.

Suddenly, Bojin stopped, a ferocious look appearing on his face as he began to shout loudly: "I call upon you... Protector of the Gourmet, Elegant Diner, Great..."

It even... combined with the curses of the many "Blood of Decay" members in the plaza, causing Aaron's figure to freeze for an instant.

Exhausting his last bit of strength, Bojin tremblingly took out a whistle, put it to his mouth, and blew it violently!

The next instant, Aaron's eyes regained clarity, and the pure white flames burned fiercely, reducing this Fourth Primordial Substance Non-human Existence to ashes.

Although it added many variables, Aaron could still handle it.

Porcelain-like ice cracks appeared on his body, with golden-red magma seemingly flowing within.

Of course, reducing variables was naturally for the best.

Therefore, Aaron continued to press the attack, not giving Bojin a chance to call for help.

As for Aaron, he was immune to this effect, or rather... at the moment of infection, the "Secret Source Power" emerged from the "Spirit of Delusion" to Purify it.

And the Occultism knowledge Aaron possessed was undoubtedly extremely high-end and broad!

Bojin, who was being stared at by him, froze in expression, seemingly forgetting how to act in the next second.

Once the wound was seen and a memory existed, it would inevitably appear on one's own body.

This was another effect he discovered after advancing to "Non-human."

Somewhere in the hall, the formless void was opened, forming a "Spirit World Gate"!

An elegant figure with white-gold curly hair seemed about to step out from within!

Without a second thought, Aaron transformed directly into the "Shadowless," his figure becoming illusory, about to enter the Spirit World.

As he departed, he could see a fleeting, subtle expression on the face of that semi-manifested Shadow.

"Guess!"

Without needing to project his Spirit Body, in a state of unity between spirit and flesh, the 'Spirit of Falsehood' could bestow enhancements upon himself!

At this moment, Aaron touched his brow and suddenly felt a strong sense of danger descending!

Aaron instantly threw an even larger Fireball, cutting off Bojin's cry for help.

"Ah!"

An arm burning with 'Furnace Fire' had already pierced through his chest, protruding from his back, with a shattered heart clutched in its hand.

'This... is a trap?!'

Upon this thought, Aaron instead stopped the Spirit World Teleportation, stood in place, and appeared lost in thought.
