Chapter 480: The Enraged, Vengeful Spirit
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
An ear-piercing scream echoed in the dark, chaotic snowfields as though the wrath of nature’s raging energy was building up its strength. The vengeful spirit realized that its foundation was being threatened. It had to halt its recovery process prematurely, and block these intruders. anwhile, Hao Ren was so preoccupied with the strange things in front of him, he almost forgot about the blizzard that gradually raging around them.
The sealed domain Vivian was talking about was a black rock or plateau.
There was nothing special about this piece of plateau. It was just a flat, circular platform that was a few yards across and it had traces of rough grinding. Obviously, it was Vivian’s handwriting. What really caught the eye was the lilac light film that floated over the platform.
The light film was more than 10 m high, about 3 or 4 m wide, and it was translucent. It was easy to see through the light film and the situation behind it. It was like an aurora falling from the sky. Hao Ren hypothesized that it was so kind of space crack.
Lily climbed up to the stone platform and reached out to touch the light film, but her hands just went through it. The crack was in sleep mode and did not seem crossable.
Vivian looked up at the film, leaned over, and examined the stone platform, which she had not seen in more than 300 years. “I made this platform, but the crack in space above it was already here. I used the residual energy from it to build the altar of banishnt beneath.”
Hao Ren’s eyebrows twisted. “Is this crack the ‘gate’ from 300 years ago? Was it where the vengeful spirit ca out from?”
Vivian nodded. “I don’t know how it was ford, but apparently the vengeful spirit ca out from it. I tried to send the vengeful spirit back to the gate after defeating it, but I failed; the gate may be jamd or sothing, I couldn’t activate it at all. So, I had to set a seal near the gate to suppress the vengeful spirit right in this place. You see, these runes are what I’ve left behind,” Vivian said as her fingers darted gently over the edge of the circular base. Crimson light imdiately appeared, and there it was, Letta runes.
“So this is where you took the two ‘stones’ that you gave to the two human nials?” Lily asked casually.
“They dropped out from the crack after the vengeful spirit was held up.” Vivian scratched her hair. “I didn’t know what was going on with this crack in space. It seed obviously closed to , but sothing did drop out from it. Later I tried to cross the light film, but I failed again.”
Hao Ren found it funny and annoying at the sa ti. “You gave the stones away without knowing what they were? You were really… Have you ever thought about how ordinary people would cope with supernatural power?”
“I was poor at that ti,” said Vivian. “I could only pick so stones on the road. Other than that, I had nothing else to give.”
“Shall we not talk about the gate first,” said Nangong Sanba. He suddenly raised his crossbow nervously as a wailing sound ca through the air. “It looks like the concentration of energy in our surroundings has reached a critical point!”
The snowstorms raged from all directions and rapidly increased in intensity. There were countless, inexplicable shadows in the sky, circling to form a new storm. Snowflakes fell out of the dark sky when there should not have been anything in the first place. anwhile, weird flashes also began to appear around them. One again, Hao Ren felt the sa numb feeling of an electric shock spreading across his skin: this numbing sensation was a sign of the impending vengeful spirit!
Vivian quickly released a large swarm of bats and webs of lightning brewed within the swarm. “If I defeat the vengeful spirit right here, I’ll be able to seal it up once again!”
The vengeful spirit soon realized the threat and hostility it was faced against. A weird rumbling sound, like a tsunami closed in from all directions and it was followed by the ergence of nurous chaotic shadows in the air. They violently swooped down towards the circular platform and the group!
Just as Hao Ren was about to use his Graviton Grenades, a pale light suddenly burst out around them. White Fla spread her hands out as her hair danced in the air. Then, an endless sea of flas started to engulf whichever area her eyes landed upon. The pale flas had no heat. In fact, they were even colder than the surrounding storms. However, under the ablation of the white flas, rocks were vaporized, ghosts were burned into ashes, and even lightning was ignited by the flas. The flas burned and climbed up the lightning trails in quick fashion, igniting the cumulonimbus in the sky!
The sea of ??white flas burned furiously, and the near-natural, powerful offensives unleashed by the vengeful spirit were gradually consud by the blazing white flas. Hao Ren stared at the white flas with his jaw dropped to the ground. He murmured to himself, “Don’t all demon hunters use a crossbow?”
“The crossbow is just a standard weapon. There are also demon hunters who specialize in incantations and magic,” explained Vivian as she recovered from her brief shock and released a swarm of bats. “Besides, there are also so demon hunters who are like White Fla. If I’m not mistaken, this should be her natural talent, which she obtained after the bloodline awakening.”
Hao Ren was still amazed. “…How did the mage emperors make these superhumans back then?”
Nangong Sanba was clueless. “What?” he asked.
Hao Ren casually said, “Nothing. It’s about your ancestors being pulled out of the bodies of the oldest ancestors by another ancestor.”
“…What?”
As the pale flas blew away the distorted spirits, Vivian’s bats opened a vast web of lightning. As if capturing a storm, it forcibly blocked the snowstorm that was about to form into a tornado. Seemingly inspired by the demon hunter, Vivian unleashed her amazing skills; the glare and light were almost a natural-phenonon in themselves, just like the tornado!
The wailing sound was incessant and almost pierced through the human brain. The invisible vengeful spirit, which had no physical body apparently sensed that the threat was fatal. It unleashed an even fiercer attack. Although the pale flas had the upper hand in the beginning, when more spirits erged from the surrounding storms, the flas finally could not catch up with the storm.
A distorted shadow suddenly crossed the wall of flas and flew straight towards White Fla. The latter was focused on controlling the fire, which had burned right up to the sky. When she finally ca to her senses, the shadow was right before her. The always calm and confident demon hunter could not help but panic.
Right when the shadow was half a ter away from White Fla, a crimson fire line suddenly erged and cut the shadow in half—it was Lily who rushed to White Fla’s aid with her sharp claws. “Stop dreaming!” Lily said.
White Fla froze for a mont before muttering to herself, “Would the otherworldings save people too?”
At this mont, a flashy, rectangular piece of tal suddenly flew over the wall of fire, creating arcs as it traveled towards the wall of snowstorms and spirit monsters. Amid the continuous tearing sound in the space, the vengeful spirit’s reinforcents began to fall apart.
Hao Ren poured out two full cartons of Graviton Grenades and said to Nangong Wuyue as well as Becky, “Just throw them! There’s more than enough!”
“Did you really kill this vengeful spirit on your own?!” Lily wielded her claws, killing those spirits that slipped through as she shouted at Vivian, “Why do I have the feeling that this thing is more powerful than all of us combined?”
“I was much more powerful back then!” Vivian replied loudly while she was up in the air. “But after a long sleep, my strength has sowhat diminished! ”
Hao Ren looked at the endless storms, light and shadows around him. He felt that the vengeful spirit was the most difficult enemy he had ever t in his life. He had fought rock giants, demon hunters, werewolves, and shadelings, even the First Born, but those guys were at least visible with physical bodies. He could at least blow a hole right through those beings, but this vengeful spirit was totally different. Until now, he was still unsure about what he was dealing with!
He only saw boundless wind and snow, invisible shadows, unexplained light and wailing, as well as the electrical sparks on his skin. He did everything possible to eliminate the supernatural phenona, because Vivian told him that by doing so, it would weaken the power of the vengeful spirit. But truth be told, even Vivian, an old expert who had lived for tens of thousands of years did not know the nature of the vengeful spirit, or the effectiveness of this “weakening” thod. She only knew that it was necessary, but no one knew how it would work.
Nobody knew how to communicate with the vengeful spirit too.
“I’ve just detected a large… field.” The MDT finally knew what it was supposed to do. It had been trying to analyze the life-form of the vengeful spirit. In an area with the highest energy intensity, it finally found out so of the vengeful spirit’s properties. “One kiloter in range… No, its range is undefined, similar to an electrical field, the frequency constantly changes. The evolution of energy inside this field sowhat mimics life. This is probably the vengeful spirit.”
That was the nature of the vengeful spirit? A life form with an energy field?
At this ti, Hao Ren suddenly felt sothing creeping in his collar. Lil Pea finally could not stand the noise. The little one poked her head out and looked at her surroundings curiously. She scread when she saw the scene outside.
Who knew what was in the little rmaid’s mind, because she suddenly sang.
Then, all of a sudden, the snowstorm weakened.
