Chapter 2231 - Soul Corrupting Flames II
I couldn"t help but get shocked by the fearsome soul corrupting flames, which is unlike anything I had experienced before.
I wanted to repel them away from my strings, but I could not. I wish I had access to full rule-bending power, but 80% of it had already been busy elsewhere, so I could not even take 1% from it, and 20% is not enough.
I am f.u.c.ked!
I thought about what to do when the soul corrupting flames reached me, and they had taken a moment before they had completely covered me.
They did not even give me time to summon my s.h.i.+elds which are equally good as defending against the soul energy as it is physical and energy attacks before they showed their horror.
"Ahhhh!"
It immediately started to attack my soul defenses and begin to burn them, and that is not an even worse thing; every moment, more and more soul corruption would acc.u.mulate and burn my defenses even faster.
If my soul defenses continued to burn at such speed, my soul defenses wouldn"t last long for much time.
In less than a minute, they will be finished burning up my defenses and turn to my soul, and when that happens, even I won"t be able to save my soul.
I had to do something before my defenses crumbled, but I couldn"t seem to think about anything other than using the full power of my rule-bending power, but if I did that, the Bullman would destroy my core.
"It will take ten years to regain the power I had a sacrifice to use this move, but it is totally worth it to refine your soul by my soul corrupting flames."
"I am very sure the lord of ghost would pay a very high price for the soul of a talented person like you," The Goatman said as it poured even more corrupted soul flames toward me, not daring to hold anything back against me.
Its words clicked something in me gave me a very daring idea. If it had been usual times, I would not have dared to do something like it, especially when my core was already strained, but now I have no choice.
If I did not take a risk, then the consequence would be even worse than the death if the words of Goatman any proof.
After deciding to take the risk, I did not waste any time and immediately a function of my core.
The nine-plated refining quern appeared in my core; it is slightly bigger than before and had even denser runes on its huge transparent crystal plates.
I formed the connection with rule-bending power and activated the quirn. As I did, the quern began to spin and started to attract soul-corrupting flames into it.
Soon the soul corrupting flames begin to funnel inside the first plate of the quirn. Seeing that, I couldn"t help but feel relieved, but soon I calmed my emotions down. As these corrupted soul flames were no ordinary fires but something extremly dangerous.
They are in a huge quant.i.ty, and the quern might not be even able to take it all. So, I have to remain calm and not show I have found a way to deal with it. Instead, I should scream even louder and project a weakened soul, so the Goatman might not suspect anything before I deal with it.
Twenty seconds pa.s.sed by, and when I had a piece of extremly good news that I was barely able to stop myself from smiling.
The bloodline harnessing of the Bullman had finally begun. It had struggled a lot that I had to use 80% of rule-bending power on it. All my efforts have succeeded now that the harnessing has become.
I have become even more careful and begin to manipulate my strings again with the rule-bending power that had been freed.
Thud!
Still, I made my screams even louder and began to shake my body, even let myself fall to the ground and started shaking wildly.
Seeing such drastic change, the smile on the Goatmans face widened up even more, and the six Grimm Masters began fighting against my friends again.
They still have their armors on and would be able to survive for an hour unless the Goatman interfered, but I won"t let that happen. In a few minutes, I will kill this b.a.s.t.a.r.d, and this time, no move of it would be able to save it.
Buzz!
One and half minutes pa.s.sed, and harvest was finished, and a moment after that immense amount of strengthening energies was released, and at the same time, growth energies had released inside me.
A few seconds have pa.s.sed since the strengthening began when suddenly laugh on the Goatmans face disappeared, and it looked at me with utter shock.
"You…you are faking it," The Goatman said with a shaking voice which is filled with shock and rage.
"So, you have sensed it," I said as I suddenly stopped shaking and soul corrupting flames around me began to disappear before all of them funneled inside my core into the quern.
I am not surprised it had sensed the cursed flames connected to it, and if it had not sensed the changes happening to me, then it has no right to call itself a soul Grandmaster.
Unfortunately, it is too late. If it had sensed something wrong about a minute ago, it might have been able to do something, but now, it had lost the chance, just like it had lost it during its first attack.
It saw me getting up, and I thought it would attack me again, but to my surprise, it began to run away, and its direction was my friends. I don"t have to be too smart to know its intentions.
"Stop!"
I said, and to the shock of the Goatman, it had stopped just like the Bullman did a few minutes earlier.
It is extremly shocked by it, and I could understand why.
It had already sensed my strings before and had been very careful about it, but despite that, it was not able to sense them when they wrapped around its body
