Chapter 11: Chapter 11
'huh!?'
'Why did she show such disgust when mentioning "the male lead"? !'
Yumo tilted his head in confusion, but just as he was lost in his imagination, the silver-haired Woman seemed to have figured something out and suddenly clasped her hands together in enlightenment.
"Oh, speaking of the male and female lead! I just remembered something! I need to take some precautions!!"
At her words, Yumo frowned.
"What!? Precautions? What kind of precautions?"
"Um, well, since you're also a man, I have to make sure that you won't have any improper thoughts about me, uh, I mean the 'female lead.' I need to make some modifications first!"
As she spoke, the silver-haired Woman's eyes narrowed slightly, and her mischievous gaze gradually moved down to Yumo's lower body.
This made Yumo suddenly feel a chill, and a wave of silvery light suddenly gathered on the girl's slender index finger.
"Modifications? Modifications??"
After noticing the silver-haired girl's gaze, Yumo couldn't help but feel a shiver. He curled up and retreated, looking at the girl in front of him with a vigilant expression.
Although it is unclear what the Woman means by "precautions" Yumo's intuition tells him that he must stop her. Otherwise, he may lose something very important.
After hesitating for a moment, the boy couldn't help but shout.
"Hey!! Can I oppose it? I feel like there's nothing good about that!"
However, Yumo is just an ordinary human, and his rebellion seems meaningless.
The silver-haired Woman had no intention of answering Yumo's question. Instead, she slowly raised her hand and snapped her fingers. A burst of silver-white light suddenly rippled in the void.
After being baptized by the silver light, Yumo suddenly trembled all over, and a long-lost drowsiness suddenly struck his heart, making his consciousness even more blurred, and he entered a shaky state.
"What is going on...?"
No matter how Yumo resisted, he could not resist this sleepiness. In the end, the boy closed his eyes and fell asleep quietly, while his soul body floated in this dark space.
Seeing this, the silver-haired Woman smiled slightly and slowly floated to Yumo's face. Her perception began to scan the boy's body continuously.
Looking at the sleeping boy, the girl nodded in satisfaction,
"Hmm, it's rare to find such a high degree of compatibility. That's good, there's no need to make too many adjustments. Just slightly change the soul wave value, and it should be able to fuse with that seed smoothly."
It seemed like she was talking to herself, or maybe communicating remotely with someone else.
Then, the Woman's captivating eyes gradually narrowed, and a pair of unknown golden runes slowly appeared in her eyes.
"However, sorry, little friend Yumo. To be on the safe side, I still need to make 'some' modifications to your Soul"
Before the words had finished, a vast amount of golden energy burst out from the girl's body, directly dyeing the dim world around her into golden. The endless energy, under the Woman's control, rushed into Yumo's body in an instant.
Along with the influx of power, there were also relevant trial tasks prepared by the Woman in advance, as well as necessary explanations for controlling power.
As the golden light continued to surge, the appearance of Yumo's soul gradually began to undergo some "subtle" changes.
To this, the Woman gradually revealed a mischievous smirk,
"Well, whatever happens, I hope everything goes smoothly for you~. Also, don't try to stop the trial~"
--
After a long time of deep sleep, Yumo gradually regained consciousness due to the strange bird's noise. However, overall, the young man was still in a very confused state, as if he had been hit by a muscular man wearing a bikini like Mount Tai crashing down on him, and his mind was all mush.
'??'
'Hmm?'
'Where am I? Did I just fall asleep...?'
'Right! The deal?! And that modification?'
'...!!!?'
'Hmm?? Wait a minute?!'
'Whose voice is this?! Is it an owl?!' This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
With his consciousness at this point, Yumo suddenly became alert. He swept away the confusion in his mind, and his thoughts became incredibly clear in an instant!
After clearing his mind, the young man eagerly opened his eyes, and what came into view was a round, bright moon and the beautiful stars filling the sky!
'There was no doubt about it,'
'This was no longer the eerie void where nothing existed!'
'I left that godforsaken place!'
In an instant, a wild feeling of joy surged up in his heart. His whole being felt like doing an Armstrong spin and soaring to the sky, as he was so excited! After all, being trapped in that dark and enclosed eerie space for so long, the excitement of regaining his freedom was beyond ordinary people's understanding.
Under the frenzy of joy,
Yumo instinctively wanted to jump up, cheer and share his endless joy with this brand new world.
"Great! I'm free ... Hmm??"
However,
Abyssal Demon's combat power started at least at the fifth-Tier! How could a fourth-Level possibly resist?!! Moreover, the wolf in front of him was clearly above fifth-Level!
Even his own knight commander was probably not able to win against this wolf, let alone himself!
When he thought about his revenge plan that had not yet been put into action,
He was about to die before he could even start.
Adrian's mind was almost collapsing, and fear and despair twisted his face, accompanied by the bloodstains and black soil on his face, Adrian no longer had the handsome posture of a nobleman, but was as ridiculous as a clown.
[Run!! Faster!!]
This was the only thought in Adrian's mind, even though his rational mind told him that he could not possibly outrun the Abyssal Demon behind him and it was better to lie down and wait for death,
But who would be willing to go to death willingly under the strong influence of survival instinct?
Adrian was no exception,
The potential he had accumulated in his body for 20 years erupted almost instantly.
With the support of his magic power throughout his body, Adrian ran wildly toward the forest!
However,
The more he ran desperately, the stronger the despair in his heart became.
This man who considered himself strong also began to scream like he was going to collapse.
The reason was simple,
No matter how much he accelerated, under the condition of using all his magic power, he could not shake off the white giant wolf behind him.
The distance between the wolf and him was always maintained at about ten meters, and the terrifying bloody-red eyes of the wolf never left Adrian's back.
When Adrian fell down, the wolf would 'thoughtfully' stop and wait for him to get up and continue playing running and catching game with him.
It was like the wolf was mocking its prey,
Seemingly waiting for the prey to be exhausted before going up and devouring it.
"Oh, goddess, what did I do wrong!! To suffer such torment!!"
Adrian, who guessed this point, was almost in tears, and his fate seemed to be torn apart by the wolf.
When he thought that he, the son of a marquis, would die inexplicably under the claws of a beast, Adrian's heart became even more shattered.
Besides continuing the meaningless escape, all that Adrian could do was pray in his heart that the giant wolf could quickly change its target.
After all, there was more than just him who was exiled to the cold winter forest to die!
"Go eat someone else, don't eat me!"
"Oh, goddess! Give me a miracle! I don't want to die! If you let me go back alive, I will build ten churches for you!!"
This distressed man continued to cry out in his heart and desperately prayed for a miracle.
However, this time, did the goddess seem to respond to his request?
When Adrian passed through a patch of bushes without choosing a path, he seemed to have entered a special boundary, and everything around him suddenly twisted.
The sight in front of him suddenly changed dramatically!
"??!!"
'Huh?! What happened?!'
When Adrian opened his eyes again, he was incredibly surprised to find that the surroundings were no longer the same old grim and towering trees, but a dilapidated altar? Or is it a Temple?!
"Where am I?!"
Looking at the ancient stone Temple standing around him like a towering pillar, looking at the broken throne that had been crushed by boulders on the high platform, and sweeping the incomplete murals full of ancient Runes, Adrian was stunned like a wooden chicken, as if he had been struck by thunder, and his mind was hard to calm down for a long time.
"I, where am I?? Hmm?!! No! Where is the demon wolf !"
Suddenly, Adrian returned to his senses from the shock and looked back in horror.
However, he was shocked to find that there was only a clear lake behind him, without a bloodthirsty white giant wolf...
Even the terrifying pressure released from the giant wolf that had been oppressing him all the time was gone. Like Everything before was just an illusion.
However, the joy of surviving the catastrophe did not relax Adrian's nerves. He remained tense for a simple reason: the giant wolf had indeed disappeared, but on the other side of the lake, dozens of pairs of eyes were still staring at him tightly, wanting to look at him like a delicious meal, and all the owners of those eyes were Abyssal Demons.
Seeing this, Adrian couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"But why didn't they come over? This is not like the character of the Abyssal Demons!"
In horror, Adrian also found an incredible thing.
That is, although the eyes of these Abyssal Demons staring at him were terrifying, they seemed to have no intention of crossing the lake to kill him.
"What's going on?!"
Adrian couldn't help muttering to himself.
However, at this moment, a strange, genderless, mechanical-like voice suddenly entered Adrian's mind, making him shudder.
"Do you want revenge? I can give you strength, ~"
"W-who's there...?!"
