Chapter 396: Loss of Control and Corruption Just Happened So Suddenly

"Just drink it and chant Ren Amamiya's name, right?"

Chika Fujiwara confirmed one last time.

"That's correct."

The moment she received confirmation, Chika Fujiwara made her final decision: she took the potion out of her pocket, pulled out the cork, and drank it in one gulp.

In an instant, Chika Fujiwara felt the world she saw turn colorful, and the entire world began to spin.

She didn't even know she was making strange cries from her mouth; pink scales even appeared on the surface of her body.

"Strange, why would a lowest-sequence potion cause such a huge reaction?"

Observing the changes on Chika, Ren Amamiya also felt very surprised; drinking a lowest-sequence potion shouldn't cause such a huge reaction.

After all, this isn't the Secret World; this world doesn't have so-called high sequences.

They shouldn't be able to hear the whispers of high-sequence beings, so why is the reaction so huge?

Regarding this, Ren Amamiya no longer hesitated; invisible mist instantly enveloped Chika's entire body, completely suppressing the loss-of-control symptoms appearing on her.

After the loss-of-control situation eased, Ren Amamiya heard a prayer for help.

【Ren Amamiya... Ren Amamiya...】

The voice was very faint, yet it was distinguishable as Chika's voice.

"It seems the loss-of-control symptoms are quite severe, for a lowest-sequence potion."

Ren Amamiya muttered in confusion, but then closed his eyes and immersed his mind into the Netherworld.

Beside that ancient stone table, a pink-haired girl appeared.

Chika, pulled into the Netherworld by her prayer.

"... Ah!"

The girl lying on the table was like a student startled awake from sleeping in class; her face was flushed, her heartbeat accelerated excessively, and she was panting heavily, as if she had just seen something terrifying and was scared awake.

She immediately searched for that person, and finally, the girl saw the person standing behind her at the edge of the stone table.

"Ren Amamiya!!!"

The girl threw herself forward without hesitation; the moment she crashed into the person, her emotions could no longer be controlled.

"The world... the world is twisting... I seem to hear many strange sounds in my ears..."

"I feel... I feel..."

The world was about to completely collapse.

The girl's mood was terrible; it felt like she had witnessed a madman's world with her own eyes. In that twisted world where everything was distorted, she seemed to be influenced as well, as if she were about to merge with that crazy world at any moment.

If she hadn't chanted Ren Amamiya's name at the end, she felt she might never see Ren Amamiya again.

"Alright, alright, it's over now... it's over now..."

Seeing Chika's near-collapse state, one could imagine how severe the loss-of-control situation was. If he hadn't been controlling it beside her, using the Netherworld to suppress the loss of control, Chika would have definitely turned into a completely inhuman monster in less than half a minute.

Using the Requiem's extraordinary ability to soothe Chika's slightly collapsing emotions, while gently stroking Chika's hair with his hand.

Ren Amamiya also carefully used Spiritual Vision to observe Chika's condition.

"Hmm?"

The corruption is receding?

The ink-like black corruption on Chika's spiritual body was receding at a speed visible to the naked eye when he cast his gaze upon it.

Corruption can recede like this?

Even without having finished reading all of Lord of the Mysteries, Ren Amamiya knew that corruption was absolutely not so easily receded.

It's strange.
