Chapter 693 Final Step
Evalynn thought she was aware of Michael's potential and power level, but she was sorely mistaken.
The extraction tendrils engulfing the Curse had been different before. They were stronger than they used to be. They were more than they used to be.
'It felt just like when I use the mist.' She thought.
The ominous mist was part of her being, yet it wasn't. Not exactly, at least. It was not only her power. The extraction tendrils at the end of the battle were just like that.
"You exorcised the – without killing...how?!"
Michael thought he was mistaken because he couldn't hear his mother's words. She was slurring and seemed to have a hard time speaking, and a bad headache crept up the back of her head.
Evalynn's mind drifted to the end of the battle when the serpent shot out of Michael's back. The memory surfaced, and the confusion permeating her mind intensified. She appeared behind Michael and stared at his back, where the Living Image of the World Serpent slithered calmly.
"You can control –...."
At last, the Geas was triggered. Evalynn Fang screamed in pain and began bleeding from her nose and eyes.
Evalynn had a lot to say, but she couldn't. Even if she wanted to say something, the Geas restrained her. Her legs caved in, and she smiled weakly. The headache caused by the Geas and the pain worsened her condition considerably.
Evalynn was weakened from using the Cursed Chain Circle, which had allowed her to restrain the Curse's power. It would take a while before she was back at her peak.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
However, she was not sad about this. Evalynn expected to end up like this after promising to help Michael.
"Can you bring Danny back?" She asked, slightly hesitant.
It was not difficult to sense that Michael was more confident than ever about Danny's return, but Evalynn was still reluctant to believe it was possible. She didn't want to hope for her dear son's return only to be met with failure.
But Michael was confident. He could sense Danny's will to live, and there was no doubt that Danny would make it. The only thing Michael couldn't be sure of was Danny's condition.
"I'm certain," Michael answered right before Evalynn collapsed.
It was time to finish what he started. It was time to rescue his brother!!
As Michael returned to the Origin Expanse, Maria stared blankly ahead. Michael didn't even have enough time to talk to her for a few seconds. They saw each other for the first time in months, yet Michael disappeared after a few seconds.
"I believed we were friends..." She mumbled, the corner of her lips tucking downward. Sadness washed over her.
"Do I mean something to him? Probably not... Though, it looked like he was in a hurry. Maybe the timing was bad. His mother doesn't look that good either. She is exhausted, but there is something else that is missing as well," Maria cast a glance at Michael's mother.
"Mother said that Michael's mother is probably the closest human in the Trilance to ascend to a Divine Lifeform. I cannot sense her strength, but she seems too weak right now."
Maria became unsure what happened, but she gave Michael the benefit of the doubt. Michael was indeed in a hurry because of something extremely important. It must be related to his mother's exhaustion and his brother's resurrection.
"Wait... Isn't his brother dead?" Maria blurted aloud, her beautiful complexion contorting in confusion.
'What are you doing, Michael?!?'
**
Michael didn't know anything about Maria's confusion. He was a bit sorry that he had left her just like that, but Danny was more important to him.
He rushed to the Greater Nature Spirit, where he retrieved the Energy Stones and Life Essence, which he had accumulated for a while now. The Life Essence had been nourished in a small cove within the Greater Nature Spirit's tree trunk, where it became condensed and liquefied.
Michael perceived life's waft permeate the air around the Greater Nature Spirit. He grinned from one ear to another while unleashing the Dome of Extraction to tap into the lifeforce and hundred thousand Energy Stones simultaneously.
At last, as the energy and lifeforce flooded his entire being, Michael accessed the Miniature Coffin Keychain.
The keychain could not contain the power Michael channeled into it...and burst.
At this point, Michael only has seconds to grasp the Living Soul and insert it into the Soul Grimoire without inflicting any injuries.
Michael became not allowed to make a single mistake!
