Chapter 350: See You in the Next Life

Lan Baoshi's sudden action shocked everyone, especially Jierte's aunt.

"Lan Baoshi! What are you doing!"

She wanted to step forward to stop Lan Baoshi, but it was already too late; under the astonished gazes of those around, Lan Baoshi gritted her teeth and injected all of the black liquid into her own neck.

"If... this can save Knight Sir..."

"No matter what the cost... I can..."

Before her words even finished, Lan Baoshi suddenly let out a miserable scream, and then an invisible airflow quietly swelled.

The few guards closest to her had their lives instantly drained, their bodies floating into the sky like quicksand, while the rest felt a sudden prickling on their skin and fled outward at their fastest speed.

Even so, a few unlucky guards were still sucked dry, turning into flying ash.

"Hahaha! This is exactly right!"

Boss shouted excitedly; although the plan had some deviations, the ultimate goal was still achieved.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Lan Baoshi let out an ear-piercing screech, the sound like a siren from the depths of the sea, extremely penetrating; even Jierte's aunt couldn't help but cover her ears.

"What on earth have you done!!!"

A powerful suction came over her; she hurriedly steadied her mind, thus avoiding being sucked dry into a corpse, and Lan Baoshi's ability gained infinite strengthening.

Boss did not answer her, merely gazing frenziedly at Lan Baoshi, watching black viscous fluid pour from her seven orifices, watching the black liquid crawl over her body, forming a twisted black monster.

That appearance was no different from an entropy disaster!

"Life and entropy! Hahahaha!"

"How! How perfect a combination!"

"This! This is true ascension!!!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Boss watched the black shadow gradually grow huge, laughing maniacally, as life was ceaselessly drawn from every corner of this land—whether innocent or guilty, their lives became the purest nourishment for the monster before him.

"Ugh......"

The twisted black monster let out a muffled sound; she seemed somewhat at a loss, gazing at Jierte's body, as if finally recalling something.

She once again poured life into Jierte's body, but the entropy‑tainted life, upon merely touching him, underwent a mutation.

Only to see Jierte's flesh‑filled body suddenly crystallize, rapidly turning into Spirit Energy Crystal, and with a bang it exploded into the ground, scattering glittering Spirit Energy Crystals everywhere.

Among those Spirit Energy Crystals on the ground, a beaded bracelet inlaid with various gems could be faintly seen.

The monster stared at this scene, frozen in shock; looking at the glittering Spirit Energy Crystals covering the ground, she seemed to finally realize something, and an inexpressible sobbing sound continually rose.

It seemed like she was crying... or perhaps repenting.

"Ugh......."

From her pitch‑black body, two simple‑shaped little hands without palms or fingers extended, repeatedly gathering the scattered Spirit Energy Crystals from the ground.

Jierte had piled up into a small mound; she lifted the gem‑inlaid bracelet, and the uh‑uh sound grew clearer.

She was crying.....

"Haha, what a moving scene."

"Natural disaster, I command you, devour all life on this planet!"

"You no longer need reason; you only need to devour life, be it natural disaster or human."

The monster that Lan Baoshi had become let out a painful howl upon hearing those words, and then a familiar suction emanated from her—she was truly draining the lives of others on the planet!

"Raising gu?" Jierte wasn't the real target; Lan Baoshi was—who knows how long Boss has been scheming.

"Haha, with it, even the fleet the company sent to drain us will be a breeze!"

"You damned...."

The aunt's fury had burned to its limit; facing Lan Baoshi gradually turning into a life‑storm, she surged forward.

"What are you trying to do!"

Watching the aunt's body gradually ignite with Holy Light, Boss suddenly felt a pang of panic, always having a bad premonition.

"Stop her!"

The surrounding guards, upon just approaching, were sucked dry into ash; the monster gradually rose into the sky, and more and more life was drawn from afar.

"Ugh......"

The monster let out a painful wail, yet she still could not break free from Boss's control.

Although she didn't know how Boss was controlling him, she believed that the Knight's Holy Light could forever pull those who had gone astray back onto the right path, and she believed he must still remember this familiar power.

The monster swung its tentacles, flinging her away, yet she always managed to come back.

And that power, that familiar Holy Light on her body, seemed to awaken a glimmer of reason in the monster, slowing her attack speed.

Finally, the aunt cleaved through layer after layer of obstruction and at last reached the monster's side.

"Tsk....."

As she approached, an immensely powerful Holy Light burst forth, like a blazing sun.

"I will help you tear away the hypocrite's veil.... Lan Baoshi."

"Wake up a bit!!!"

"Ugh....."

The Holy Light condensed into a heavy hammer, smashing hard at the monster; the familiar power seemed to clear her a little, and murmuring sounds came from her body as the act of draining life also ceased.

"Knight.... Sir...."

"Damn it! What have you done!!!"

But no one answered him; after erupting with such powerful Holy Light, Jierte's aunt also expended her last reserves, expending the last of the Knight's Oath.

In that brilliant Holy Light, her body gradually faded away; Boss even faintly saw her smile, though it was not directed at him.

"......"

"In the next life I'll see you... Jierte...."

"Her final gaze lingered upon that pile of dazzling gems...."

"(Cough cough, because ginseng slept for eighteen hours straight yesterday, that's why this chapter is delayed)"

"(Although I don't know why I could sleep eighteen hours straight....)"
