Chapter 548: 24 Obsession
Abek felt uneasy, as if he were being watched by sothing dangerous.
He looked around while activating Detect Magic, but found nothing unusual.
…An illusion?
No, sothing’s not right.
Abek, who had been resting, stood up, took out a strangely shaped Magic Wand from behind, and raised his alertness to the highest level.
Not trusting any illusion about danger, that is Abek’s life creed.
More than a decade ago, Abek was an ordinary person in Boundary Land, unable to use spells or any special abilities.
In this world, he was the kind of ordinary person whose life could be predicted at a glance.
Until he accidentally obtained sothing that would change his life—a tooth.
To be precise, a tooth from Visas.
This imdiately opened the door to a new world for him, making him a mber of the Corpse Fragnt Holders.
But this tooth was different from other Corpse Blocks; others provided imdiate strength or rules upon acquisition, but not this tooth.
It belonged to the type that accumulates slowly over ti.
The longer it accumulates, the stronger it becos.
Its previous holder obviously didn’t understand this, rashly exposed the tooth, and ultimately perished along with envious rivals before Abek’s eyes; their bodies were completely burned, leaving only this indestructible tooth.
With such a precedent, Abek naturally knew what to do.
Caution, restraint.
Abek almost wanted to inscribe these two words on his forehead, implenting their aning for over a decade.
And indeed, they helped him evade nurous crises when he was still weak.
So even after Abek endured that period and beca strong, he did not abandon this life creed. As a result, even now that he is quite powerful, few have heard his na.
And he intends to continue exercising restraint.
Until that day he was drawn into Taoyuan Village.
He was deeply shocked.
His disguise, the power he accumulated over the past decade, seed so ridiculous under that towering ancient tree.
The fellow called “Hand Eye” could pull his consciousness and soul into that illusion with just a thought.
Such power… unreasonably powerful.
This deeply attracted Abek.
Before this, he never fantasized about obtaining other Corpse Blocks, thinking that having this one was enough; he didn’t dare to desire others.
After all, contacting other Corpse Fragnt Holders is inherently extrely dangerous.
But after that journey to Taoyuan Village, his thoughts changed.
He finally began to desire the power of other Corpse Blocks, wanting to gain Taoyuan Village’s power by acquiring more Corpse Blocks.
After all, the Hand Eye needed only two Corpse Blocks to control Taoyuan Village; what would he obtain if he acquired more?
Abek dared not think about it because even the slightest thought in this direction made his heart pound uncontrollably, like a war drum being fiercely beaten.
…Moreover, even setting aside these desires and ambitions, the appearance of Taoyuan Village ant Abek’s forr survival rules no longer applied.
Because Taoyuan Village was too powerful, Abek had no doubt that his ans of hiding were futile in the face of Taoyuan Village.
Would there be soone who could uncover his identity through Taoyuan Village?
No one could say for sure.
Currently, the person with the most Corpse Blocks is the Hand Eye, who needed only two to beco Taoyuan Village’s temporary leader.
What about three Corpse Blocks, four?
Would there eventually be a day when all Corpse Fragnt Holders would have nowhere to hide before him?
That possibility is clearly there.
If such a person were to appear, Abek doubted how much deterrence the power he accumulated would have against them.
After all, everything Abek now possesses cos from this singular Corpse Block; he couldn’t imagine how terrifying soone with multiple Corpse Blocks would be.
If such a ti were to co, he would likely be nothing more than a lamb awaiting slaughter.
Therefore, he absolutely could not sit and wait for death.
Upon returning from Taoyuan Village, Abek understood this.
Isn’t this, in a way, also a form of caution?
So Abek ca here.
According to Hand Eye, the person pursued by both Rhein and the Church, who also possesses two Corpse Blocks, is on this chaotic land.
Though in Taoyuan Village, nobody could lie under its suppression, Abek still didn’t fully trust Hand Eye, so after entering Wildfire, he cautiously probed the other’s information. Finally, after defeating the monster that suddenly charged at him, he unexpectedly acquired the information.
The person is just ahead.
Abek lifted his head, now able to see the endless valleys in the distance.
And he knew it was the forr holy land of the now nonexistent Senluo Divine Sect.
Abek didn’t know much about the past matters between the Senluo Divine Sect and the current Wildfire Sect, and he didn’t want to get involved before, but now he had no choice.
In front of Visas Corpse Pieces, any potential danger beca irrelevant.
