Chapter 137: Guardian Beast! Mystery Man!
In the others’ eyes, the fierce light in the blood shadow’s eyes—which had suddenly become terrifying—abruptly became dim and hollow.
Just like when a bomb was about to explode, the wire was cut off suddenly. It then became a dud, with only the appearance still looking like a bomb!
And Link—who had activated [Eternal Sleep]—could clearly sense that the blood shadow’s spiritual will from a certain abyssal Semi-Sage disappeared in an instant.
It was as though it was ruthlessly erased by a large hand hidden in a dark and mysterious place, causing the blood shadow to fall into an eternal dream!
Moreover, Link also noticed a certain connection was built between him and the blood shadow’s body—whose will was erased.
At this moment, the blood shadow was like a puppet with only its instincts left. In the blood shadow’s body was a ball of spider-like twisted shadows that seemed half-real and half-virtual. Link also seemed capable of controlling the blood shadow’s body with his will now.
Link sent out a thought to the blood shadow through his mind, and the huge blood shadow—measuring several feet high—suddenly knelt down on one knee, bowed its head, and waited for Link’s instructions.
In the eyes of everyone at the city wall, this scene was extremely shocking!
Luo Xinghe, Luo Xingyao, and the others were all stunned. Their heads buzzed like they had been shocked by the sound of a sudden thunder boom!
Fatty Lu Da was instantly dumbfounded. The fat on his face trembled, and his face was full of disbelief. “This... Why is this blood shadow kneeling to Link? Is it asking for mercy, or is there a conspiracy?”
No one answered him, and there was only silence around him.
Xue Linglong and the others all stared at Link’s figure dazedly.
At this moment, Link’s robe was flying in the wind, and the sword energy surrounded his body. He was already very outstanding. But coupled with the kneeling blood shadow, Link now seemed to become even more unfathomable!
After a long while, Luo Xinghe sucked in a breath of cold air and exclaimed, “How strong exactly is the Lord now? That is a monster created by a Semi-Sage’s spiritual imprint, yet it’s actually kneeling now?”
Luo Xingyao and the other women’s beautiful eyes were also full of puzzlement and surprise!
After all, the blood shadow was related to a Semi-Sage, and its strength was extremely terrifying. Just releasing the pressure of a Sage-level existence alone already made them seem like they were in a mire and made it difficult to move.
Yet, such an exceptionally powerful monster was kneeling in front of Link at this moment!
This scene was like a dream, so who could believe it? Who could still remain calm?
Fatty Lu Da swallowed hard and murmured, “Brother Link... is really like a heifer sitting on a rocket. The cow’s c*nt is soaring into the sky[1]!”
...
Below the city wall, Link’s eyes flickered as he familiarized himself with the powerful effects brought by [Eternal Sleep].
He could completely control the blood shadow in front of him and even make this huge blood shadow completely collapse and die with just a thought of his mind. And all this was brought about by the twisted spider shadow that appeared in the blood shadow.
The creatures that fall into eternal sleep will be controlled by the [Talisman of Eternal Sleep]’s holder. This item is indeed powerful! said Link silently in his heart.
It should be understood that the blood shadow itself was a product of a Semi-Sage’s spiritual imprint, and its power had reached Stage Six—which was extremely terrifying.
But now, it wasn’t possible for the blood shadow to execute secret arts like before, although the Semi-Sage’s will had been wiped out. However, this remnant body still exuded a powerful aura that wasn’t weaker than a Stage Five powerhouse!
Moreover, this was because the blood shadow had consumed too much power during the battle with Link just now.
If the blood shadow’s strength was supplemented, it would directly become a terrifying Stage Six, Bright Moon-rank existence! In contrast, there might not even be any humans on Blue Star that had reached Stage Five now and became a Star-rank powerhouse!
Having a Stage Six monster as a puppet was probably something n.o.body could even dare to imagine!
Link was also quite satisfied at this time. Bloodseeker and the Semi-Sage in the abyss had practically given him a great gift!
“Very good. From now on, you shall be Unfallen City’s guardian beast. If any creature dares to invade Unfallen City, crush them!”
“Yes.” The blood shadow let out a deep voice as it responded to Link, appearing extremely submissive.
On the city wall, Yang Xuerou and the others were once again stunned. They almost thought that something was wrong with their ears.
Let the blood shadow become the guardian beast of Unfallen City?
The blood shadow is the product of a Semi-Sage’s spiritual imprint. It is like the Semi-Sage’s incarnation. Isn’t this akin to treating a Semi-Sage as a watchdog?
If the Semi-Sage in the abyss descended in the future, will he become mad with anger?
“Guardian beast?!” Luo Xinghe originally felt that he was going to be numb toward whatever happened from now on. No matter how shocking the scene, it wouldn’t cause any ripples in his heart anymore. But he couldn’t help but exclaim now.
A terrifying monster with a Stage Six existence’s strength was going to become Unfallen City’s guardian beast!
Link was probably the only person who could do something like this!
Fatty Lu Da’s face was trembling again. His eyes were as wide as the eyes of a bull, and his lips were trembling. However, he didn’t know what to say.
This kind of behavior was beyond everyone’s imagination, even the imagination of Xue Linglong—who had always been cold like an iceberg. The corners of her eyes twitched slightly!
After he made the arrangement for the blood shadow, Link immediately took off the [Mask of the Faceless] on his face and walked toward the city gate.
Behind him, the several meters tall blood shadow—who was like a small hill shrunk to two meters high—and followed silently.
...
At the same time.
A figure appeared in front of a distorted building.
He wore a black hoodie with his hands in his pockets, and his face was shrouded by the hood’s shadow.
Inside the building was the Black Dragon Gang altar, which had been destroyed by Link.
This building—due to the influence of the G.o.d of Evil’s aura—had undergone irreversible degradation and distortion.
It was densely covered with spider silk, like an extremely huge coc.o.o.n, and there were some Spiderhumans’ broken limbs on the ground—which appeared shocking to the sight.
The No Retreat Army’s soldiers and the others had already moved far away from here and sealed off the vicinity to prevent people from being aberrated due to the influence of the remaining G.o.d of Evil’s breath.
However, the figure that appeared in front of this distorted building didn’t seem to care about being aberrated or the influence of the remaining G.o.d of Evil’s breath. Instead, he took in a few deep breaths, and a flash of intoxication flashed through his eyes under the hood.
“It’s really a pity. This place was supposed to be a dreamlike place, but it was destroyed.” The man sighed softly and strode into the distorted building.
The inside of the building seemed to be made from flesh. Since the source of the G.o.d of Evil’s breath had been destroyed, this flesh had lost its vitality, becoming dry and grayish.
The man in the hoodie stretched out his hand to stroke the fleshy wall and then went straight down to the second bas.e.m.e.nt floor.
It was a mess here. There were many traces of fighting on the ground, filled with deep ravines and potholes.
The altar that originally stood here had been destroyed.
The man kept rummaging through the debris, closing his eyes from time to time as if he were sensing for something.
After a while, the man stopped. There were a few broken gem pieces in his hand.
It was the spider eye gemstones that were damaged after pulling Link into the Dreamlands.
“What a pity. I thought I could recycle something... Link, you really leave no loopholes. Forget it; this is just an experiment anyway. It’s time to find Black Dragon now. I believe he should be able to show me some interesting stuff.”
The man shook his head and took off his hood, revealing a young face.
It was the Priest from No Retreat Army, who Link had noticed previously—Jiang Cheng!
[1] Means extremely awesome.
