Chapter 937
(Unedited)
…
Shin Jiao did not make a move, so Gan Warbread was a bit distress about what to do next. Right at this moment, he has two choices at hand. The first is to complete his body transformation and become alive again by transferring to the female body in front of him, or to devour the female body and slowly transform to his former old self.
Those two decisions have their own merits and their own faults, but either of them would surely return him to the world of the living.
But being young again would always have its advantages, so the eyes of the huge head created from dark mana look into the fair maiden body of Yao Linlin. With the thought as if he has already decided, he seems to grit his teeth and suddenly the huge face disperses and turns into a black mist that surrounded the body of the young woman.
Then the rotten-looking flesh and bones on the side slowly turned into ashes as they mixed with the dark mana and also entered the body of Yao Linlin. As the two combined, changes began to appear on her body. The milky white skin slowly turned greenish in color with bluish veins bulging all over her body.
Her fair figure slowly began to change as muscles began to form making her look more buff. Her silver hair slowly turned black along with her eyes. Her height then increases as she became taller. She soon reaches a height of around 6 feet tall which is a bit taller than Shin Jiao.
"I never imagine that this body is truly something else. She truly is a gifted woman. I can only control her consciousness, but having this amount of mana and power in one's body is truly amazing. I am liking this more… Haha…" the voice of two people coming from Yao Linlin reverberated inside the room.
The changes on her body slowly transformed her from a small little girl into someone that looks like a really tall supermodel, with beauty to boot. Her attractive bosom became fuller, and her h.i.p.s became wider. Shin Jiao shifted his gaze and did not look further down.
But then something came to his sight which made Shin Jiao think that something is wrong.
This is because he noticed the growth of a single horn on her forehead.
"Demon…" Shin Jiao muttered.
But he did not do anything and just observe this situation.
In fact, his attention is more focused on the two statues standing on the opposite sides of Yao Linlin. One of the statues is actually supplying dark energy towards the merging figures of Gan Warbread and Yao Linlin.
"Ruel is trying to extract some energy from his own body… But I wonder why he did not try to crack that thing open? Is his strength not enough to open it? Hmm… That may be the main reason, as a Grand Magus his strength is still below the nascent realm. That would explain why he is trying to break through. But from what I could tell, this statue would not budge even after he reaches the nascent realm… Maybe it needs a higher realm…" Shin Jiao began thinking.
Soon the transformation of Yao Linlin is complete and now, she became a being with a single horn on her forehead, some parts of her body have the presence of silver scales on them especially her private parts. It looks like some kind of armor from the looks of it.
"I have now returned to the living… I thank you Mr. Shin for waiting. As a reward, I could grant you a painless death…" Gan Warbread said with a smirk.
Shin Jiao did mind the provocation, he just scratches his chin and asked.
"Should I call you Gan Warbread or Yao Linlin?..."
Hearing that question, a light laugher escaped the mouth of the tall woman in front of him.
She suddenly extended her hand and a pair of black wings came out of her back.
"Those two are already dead… You can call me, the Dark God Ruel…"
"Hmm… God Ruel, eh… But you have not yet reached the deity stage. At most you're just a nascent realm being, imperfect at that… But I guess the demon soul in your body has increased your power by two folds…" Shin Jiao said as he analyzed his opponent.
"You dare scan me?!" God Ruel shouted in anger.
With a wave of his hand, the surroundings of Shin Jiao were suddenly filled with a frozen icicle.
"Haha… The mana control is also outstanding…" he guffawed.
Then the icicles in the air converge and turn everything around Shin Jiao into a frozen glacier. Even the air was frozen, so half of the room turned into ice in almost an instant.
"Not bad… Eh… still alive?" she muttered then showed a surprised expression.
The ice shattered into thousands of debris which were sent flying in her direction. But none of them hit her as they just bounce off from her barrier.
She did not hesitate and quickly dashes towards the figure of Shin Jiao which is standing calmly.
Wham! Wham!
The sound of something breaking through the air created light sonic booms as she sent one punch after another in Shin Jiao's direction.
However, Shin Jiao easily dodges those punches. Using his Shadow Steps, he did not even do wide-range movements and just twisted his body left and right, bends down, and lean forward. It was the basic dodging technique used by boxers to dodge punches from their opponent.
As he dodges the walls inside the cavern suffered the brunt of Ruel's attacks. Her punches created deep crevices amongst the sturdy cavern walls which in turn causes some parts of the ceiling to collapse.
But for some mysterious reason, those collapse parts of the ceiling would mend themselves automatically as if everything that is happening inside the cavern is not real.
"What an interesting array…" Shin Jiao muttered as he suddenly sends a direct jab on her left cheek.
Bam!
Because of the speed of Shin Jiao's fist, Ruel was unable to react and was hit squarely on her face. The force sent her flying to the wall with a loud sound.
She looks at Shin Jiao with anger on her face as green-colored blood came out from the corner of her mouth.
Her skin suddenly changes from milky white to green and then back to being milky white again. And when this happens the damages she received a while ago have already disappeared.
"Hehe… Hahaha… This is what I am talking about! Bring it on!" she shouted as her figure rushes in front of Shin Jiao and sent another bout of rapid punches and kicks.
"This buy is a mage, right? Why would he fight me head-on? He's not even that good in fighting…" Shin Jiao thought as he easily dodges every strike from his opponent.
Then he sent another jab on her right cheek.
She was once again sent flying to the wall.
The same thing happened and her injuries were healed in almost an instant.
"Dark Iron body! Dark mana claws!" Ruel shouted as his body is suddenly covered with dark mana and created full body armor while both of his hands are now covered in a glowing aura that shows black claws at the edge of each of her fingers.
"Let's see how you deal with this!" she shouted as she rushes.
"Haste!" she shouted which immediately doubled her speed.
Now her figure turned into a blur.
Swoosh!!!
One dark claw after another attacked Shin Jiao. He did the same style of dodging as he tried to evade each of those powerful attacks. However, it seems that the force of those attacks are terrifying which somewhat damages his robe.
Soon many tear marks could be seen on his clothing which made Shin Jiao frown a bit.
"I clearly dodge those claws and even the sharp wind, how come?" Shin Jiao thought with a confused expression.
But he did not have time to think further as right at this moment, several fireballs are already coming his way. Coupled with those fireballs, an energy surge suddenly appears. The entire cavern began shaking as the energy increases rapidly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One explosion after another has shaken the cavern walls and their ceiling.
Then suddenly a dark beam appears out of nowhere hitting the figure inside the smoke-filled area of the cavern.
Wham!
That figure was sent flying as he was pushed by the black laser-like beam to the wall.
Shin Jiao who has set up a barrier in front of him tried his best to defend against the dark beam. The barrier he erected slowly cracked as the intensity of the dark laser increases.
"It is time for you to die now…" Ruel said with a sinister smile on her face.
