1619 Inspection

“Boom!!”

Two auras, one hot and one cold, collided in the air!

Fang Heng raised his head and drank a bottle of full spirit recovery potion with negative effects. He rushed towards the source of the central shady line and took out the scroll in his hand.

[Scroll: Environmental magic scroll: Scorched earth.]

Whoosh!

Fang Heng’s newly recovered mental strength was instantly sucked dry by the environmental magic scroll!

Almost at the same time, the dark brown scorched earth spread out in all directions with Fang Heng’s feet as the center!

The frozen earth was instantly covered in black scorched earth!

The temperature in the entire cave rose rapidly!

Only the area around the crack at the source of the shady line was still frozen.

Very good! It was effective!

Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat and then he shouted, “Ji Xiaobo!”

Ji Xiaobo stood there, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

Everything happened too quickly. From Fang Heng’s sneak attack to Viona being absorbed by the distorted space, it had only been less than half a minute!

She was dead!

They killed Viona!

Furthermore, it was Viona who had awakened her inherited power.

“Ji Xiaobo! Hurry up! Prepare to seal!”

Only then did Ji Xiaobo come back to his senses. He immediately took out the triangular seal scroll from his backpack.

The scroll was also obtained from the Culodi Chamber of Commerce through trade, and it could create a spatial seal.

Short duration, one-time use item, excellent effect.

Ji Xiaobo shouted, “Okay! I’m ready!”

Fang Heng ran towards the shady line crack in the middle of the cave as fast as he could.

Without the suppression of Viona’s holy power, the shady line crack was about to erupt!

Fortunately, Fang Heng took timely measures.

Under the influence of the Melting Fire Troll Overlord’s heart and the scorched earth effect of the magic scroll, the rift was once again temporarily suppressed!

Whoosh!

Fang Heng flashed to the side of the shady line aura and glanced at the holy weapon, the great holy sword, that had fallen to the ground.

Under the control of Viona’s holy power, the great holy sword had returned to a size that was less than two meters long.

The huge sword pierced into the ground, and the Holy Light it emitted could still slightly suppress the shady line aura beside it.

However, it was far less effective than when it was stabbed into the crack previously!

Fang Heng quickly placed the Melting Fire Troll Overlord’s heart on the ground.

When the scorching aura collided with the shady line aura that seeped out of the crack, an even more exciting aura fluctuation was produced!

Fang Heng frowned and took out a few black charcoal from his backpack.

Charcoal effect: Unknown.

The game prompt could not tell what it was.

However, Gano said that this thing was left behind from the burning during the rebirth of the fire phoenix.

When the legendary creature, the fire phoenix, was reborn, the place where it rested would produce extreme temperatures.

Fang Heng wasn’t sure if the story was true or not, but he could sense the powerful flame fluctuations contained in the charcoal.

Whoosh!

Fang Heng directly threw the wooden block toward the center of the crack.

Then, he quickly retreated.

Eh?

The effect was exceptionally good?!

Under the influence of the wooden block, the shady line that was originally spewing out frost seemed to have stopped firing. Only wisps of mist leaked out.

“Whoosh!”

Ji Xiaobo immediately activated the scroll in his hand.

Space-Four Corners Seal!

A gray shadow that was visible to the naked eye quickly appeared above the shady line crack, enveloping a small area around the shady line crack, including the Melting Fire Troll Overlord’s heart and the great holy sword!

It formed a physical seal that was like a pyramid.

“Ka ka ka…”

The gray aura outside quickly condensed and solidified into a physical space.

Without the replenishment of the source aura, the shady line that was about to explode in the cave quickly calmed down.

It was done!

The magic scroll in Ji Xiaobo’s hands turned into ashes as he heaved a sigh of relief.

The Melting Fire Troll Overlord’s heart, the environmental scroll, the unknown charcoal, the spatial seal, and the great holy sword that had lost most of its power were able to control the source of the shady line that was about to erupt.

Moreover, this was just to control the aura of the shady line for a moment.

It was time for the next step!

Ji Xiaobo turned his head to search for Fang Heng’s traces and found that the latter had retreated to his side.

Fang Heng’s pupils were covered in a layer of gray.

Soul inspection!

Through the layer of gray fog on his retina, Fang Heng could see Viona’s dead soul condensing into stars in the air and dissipating out of the cave under the protection of the Holy Light.

During the brief delay, more than half of Viona’s soul had left.

Whoosh!

The Book of the Dead appeared in front of Fang Heng.

Fang Heng stretched out his hand and aimed at Viona’s soul which was about to escape in the air.

“Gather!!”

The gray aura quickly invaded Viona’s soul!

“Boom!!!”

Just as the gray aura touched Viona’s soul, a scorching wave of Holy Light energy erupted!

Viona’s soul instantly broke free from the dark aura.

At the same time, Fang Heng felt his brain buzz!

His sea of consciousness surged violently!

[Hint: You have received an attack from Saintess Viona’s soul power. You have received 1/3 damage to your maximum HP.]

[Hint: You have suffered a backlash. Your spirit power has been reduced by 10% within 24 hours.]

Fang Heng’s sea of consciousness suffered a severe backlash, and he could no longer control the Book of the Dead. He took a few steps back, and then he could not help but kneel on one knee. He supported himself with one hand on the ground and grabbed his head which was in intense pain with the other.

“Brother Fang! Are you alright?”

Ji Xiaobo quickly helped Fang Heng up.

Fang Heng gritted his teeth and suppressed the pain from the sea of consciousness.

First, he had used a wave of Everlasting Moon to forcefully attack Viona, which had exhausted his spirit strength. Then, he forcefully activated the environmental scroll, which had placed a huge burden on his mental strength. Now, he had suffered a backlash from the attack.

“I’m fine.”

Fang Heng shook his head and gritted his teeth to keep himself awake. He looked up at Viona’s soul which was quickly dissipating in the air.

As expected, he still failed.

The soul of a Saintess was not so easy to capture, especially after awakening part of the Saintess’ inheritance.

Everything was within his expectations.

The game had just begun!

Fang Heng turned to look at Ji Xiaobo and replied, “Don’t worry about me, go! Take care of them. I’ll be right there.”

“Brother Fang, you, you can still…”

“Hurry up and go!”

“Alright… Good! Brother Fang, be careful!”

Ji Xiaobo knew that the situation was urgent, so he didn’t say anything more. He looked at Fang Heng worriedly before running out of the cave!

Without Ji Xiaobo’s support, Fang Heng felt his legs go soft. He sat down on the ground, gasping for breath. He took out a few bottles of recovery potion and gulped them down.

His gaze slowly gathered at the center of the cave.

Viona left the holy artifact in the same place-the Voice of Heaven.

The situation just now was urgent, so he didn’t have time to check the condition of the holy artifact.

Perhaps he could think of a way to obtain the holy artifact later.

Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.

Could there be an unexpected gain?

Not now.

He would come back when he had the chance.

Fang Heng secretly suppressed the greed in his heart.

The holy artifact also had the effect of suppressing the shady line aura. Even if he wanted to obtain it, he would have to wait until he finished off Viona!

He rested on the spot for three minutes.

The effect of the backlash in his sea of consciousness gradually faded, and the potion quickly took effect.

Fang Heng felt that his stamina was gradually recovering. He stood up and glanced at the holy weapon in the center of the cave with some reluctance. He quickly left the sealed cave.
