Chapter 489: Chapter 258: Demon’s Hand (Part 2)
"Did that Six-ard Demon curse
in hopes of killing
this way?"
"Perhaps, or maybe they wanted to see what would happen to a demon born here in Nebis, and what chaos it might cause. Don’t think everyone can turn into a demon. If you weren’t a witch capable of resisting curses, you might have already transford into a twisted mass of flesh. So, it might be because you’re a witch that they did this.
"Or perhaps, they believe that once you fully transform into a demon, you would beco like them, attempt to destroy this world, and join them as a vanguard to return to Nebis.
"But the specific reason, even this Dragon cannot determine."
"Do even the Divine Spirits not fully understand demons?" Li Ang probed.
"I know you want to subtly ask about the truth of demons, and this Dragon will tell you. They are a group of beings exiled by the world for committing extrely grave sins. After leaving the two dinsions of Nebis, even the world’s six pillars cannot observe their state. As for the details of their cris and processes, you don’t have the clearance to know."
The Water Dragon said solemnly, "This is not to be mysterious with you, but rather out of responsibility towards the world. Many mortals who learned certain taboos or secrets have led the world to destruction. For instance, that Empire now trying to stir things up with so ancient secret. If you want to know more, you must prove yourself."
"How to prove it?"
"For now, there isn’t much for you to do. Oh, the reason I taught you Sealing Demon Skill last was because you saved Diana, and drove away the Empire wielding that twisted Star Soul Power. So, defeat them and return to the Six Dragons Divine Realm, and we will reveal the truth about demons and the world to you."
It felt like a ga’s reputation quest requirent, and Li Ang took it in stride.
"Hurry up and use it, I have more to explain to you," said the Dragon.
"Alright."
Prompted by the Water Dragon, Li Ang began to cast the Sealing Demon Skill on himself.
He secured the Orichalcum on his back, connecting to the Ether within, ready to provide energy anyti.
With help from the system and years of Spiritual Manipulation, the initial stages of the Magic were second nature to him, quickly executing the curse initiation.
However, he imdiately faced intense pain.
His entire arm felt as if crushed by giant power, reminiscent of being violently struck and pressed by a demon or human lee enemy early in his adventures, even surpassing that—like being crushed by a factory machine was a more fitting description.
Comparatively, getting struck by a spiritual piercing in Flowing Silver Arena wasn’t as painful, though being hit extensively might compare.
In his gaze, the fierce curse swiftly consud the remaining human flesh on his left arm; keratinized spikes drilled out from between his bones, the arm blood-soaked, spasming in agony, resembling a skeleton of blood and bone.
"Continue casting,"
The Moon Concealing Rabbit drew Water Elents from the cavern, blew out a healing mist, letting Li Ang feel cool, sustaining his sanity amid the painful dispersal.
He expended Ether to release Dinsional Cutting, keeping its size comparable to his elbow, then slowly feeling the spiritual activity and magic flow within, aligning the Dinsion Blade with the arm.
This pain led him to consider whether letting the Dinsion Blade sever the arm might be better.
"The curse is rooted in your spirituality; simply severing the arm will lead to recurrence on your body," the Water Dragon noted.
Li Ang nodded, his right hand finally clenching, completing the Sealing Demon Skill process.
Instantly, he lost sensation in his left forearm, only the place beyond his elbow retained severe pain.
"Is this alright?"
Yet he could still drive the Crimson Demon-like left forearm, lifting it for examination.
"There’s an issue."
Just as the Water Dragon finished speaking, Li Ang saw the spikes on his arm moving like living creatures, akin to so eerie oceanic entity, the moving spikes evoking a tentacle-like quality, sending a shiver through him.
"If left unattended, your arm could independently transform into an arm-shaped, unconscious demon, the consequences unknown. Thus, you must use Spiritual Control to suppress it," the Dragon warned.
Li Ang nodded, imdiately entering the Spiritual Horizon, observing the demon-like arm.
Anomalous spirituality—distorted, bizarre, evil, yet incomprehensibly powerful.
Not knowing how long had passed, possibly one or two hours, Li Ang slowly deciphered the spiritual lines within, then exerted Spiritual Driving, starting to carve away so of the most rebellious parts.
Gradually weakening, suppressing its autonomy, then establishing a Spiritual Link, bringing it under his command.
Once assured he could control the arm like an external object, Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief, exiting the Spiritual Horizon.
The feeling was unpleasant; clearly, it was his hand, but it already felt like a prosthetic.
Returning to normal vision, he noticed the spikes were considerably softened, seemingly pliable under his control.
With his right hand’s index finger and thumb, he pinched a spike’s tip, reluctant to touch more, tilting it, shaking gently.
He discovered he could now angle the spikes, even adjusting curvature and hardness, rely by tuning its spirituality.
He took a deep breath; with this, he had an idea.
The current situation was reminiscent of a high-difficulty yet impressively stylish action ga he played in a previous life. The protagonist’s family were all Half Demons, one of whom had a demonized devil’s hand, and they all had temporary demon-form transformations.
