Chapter 198 198:Death Is Just A Step Away[2]



Julian's face became as pale as a sheet of paper and her heart started beating frantically.

For a moment, she felt as if the whole world was crashing down on her.

The previous attack was already her limit. With Lucas' treatment method and occasional heat infusion, she managed to suppress the Frost Curse and drew out her power without any backlash.

However, if she pushes herself any more then she will be frozen to death.

Upon hearing the voice, she looked around for the source.

It was then her eyes caught the sight of small black dust particles that were wriggling like worms which started to converge at a point.

Julian felt disgusted at the nauseous scene and knew that the old man was coming back alive.

She raised her hand to attack but her hand trembled with pain and her body refused to listen to her command.

Gritting her teeth, and enduring the pain, she forced herself to attack through the searing pain. However, at that instant, startling her, the staff of the old man shot out and hit her.

Julian's frozen body was unable to react and she was blasted off the ground for a few metres.

She spurted blood and her left hand dislocated.

Rolling on the ground in pain for a few metres, she lifted her head with a panicked expression.

Gritting her teeth, she drew the mana in her left hand.

A bulb emerged from the wriggling mass of flesh, a mouth-like structure formed near its chest.

DUM!DUM!DUM!

Many sharp shreds of ice pillar pierced that wriggling mass but contrary to her expectation, it passed through that bulb like a liquid and like a mass of condensed fiber, The wriggling mass jumped back and a screechful voice erupted from it.

"Girl, you are just 50 years late. If it was before you might have killed for me sure."The half fleshy Calvin chuckled.

From the bulb, two stick-like masses erupted that formed a hand and a worm-like structure bifurcated to form legs.

"What...What are you?"Julian asked with a startled voice and noticed a small ball-like structure rolling towards Calvin.

"Sometimes, even I wonder what I am."Calvin's body bent down and picked up the ball which turned out to be the cracked skull.

Seeing a huge hole in the left side, he clicked his tongue.

"I was running out of life so I used various forbidden means to extend my life but all of them failed. However, as I was on my deathbed, I finally managed to increase my lifespan."

"Do you want to know the method?"

A sinister crooked voice echoed in Julian's ears and stirred her heart with horror.

"That is to cast my mortal shell, abandon my powers and fuse with a ghoul."Calvin put the skull back on the neck and a fleshy neck joined the pivot.

"The process was painful, the agony was too much and long-lasting but the results were quite satisfactory. Even the effect of holy light that damaged ghoul had lessened greatly due to the merging of human and ghoul."

Julian swallowed her saliva.

'How can I kill him if he is an undead ghoul.'

For the very first moment of her life, despair shone in her eyes as she was unable to think of a solution.

Her mind started running looking for various solutions but there was none.

There was no prior information in her mind nor did she remember hearing about such existence.

BOOM!

Julian's mind was frozen by a bizarre scenario, suddenly became dizzy, feeling excruciating pain.

It was as if a bomb struck her head out of nowhere unbeknownst to her.

Countless crimson starlight and grey-coloured filled the sky. Several magic circles unfolded in the air one after another.

"Hehehehehehe!"

At that time a chilling laughter echoed and Calvin's lips parted wide apart with a deadly smile.

"Girl, the playtime is over."

"It's time for the main scenario."

A huge pillar of blood magic soared and many people circling it started to bow down and hit their heads.

The magic pillar scattered and an eerie red light immerged,seeing that a similar scene like this appeared in her mind.

"This...."

Julian bit her lip as her body shivered with a feeling as if thousands of bugs were crawling on her body.

She summoned every ounce of her strength to disrupt the ritual but a huge palm strike crashed over her and smashed her into a pit.

"I don't have time to play with you any more."

"The end is near so stop resisting."Calvin snorted and stared at the pillar with a hint of excitement.

'Finally, I can witness the descent of a God-level being. This life of struggle hasn't been in vain."

"We seek the blessing of the Heavenly Spirit Abacharu."

"We welcome the descent of the Evil Heavenly Spirit Abacharu."

The dark-robed figures circled around and started praying and greeting at the red pillar.

The colourful lights of the sky began to be eaten by huge tentacles with bugs at the end of each of them.

The eerie dark mana silenced the atmosphere. A heavy pressure struck everyone making them realize the depth of the dark abyss that filled the entire sky.

Many small red eyes floating in the sky converged on a single point.

It was then that the huge sky was split apart with a red menacing pupil.

As soon as Julian saw the pupil, her survival instinct kicked in. The body protection over her body immediately shot up.

A high-level Golem shot out from Julian's ring sensing a life-threatening situation and stood before her protecting her from the heavy pressure burdening her.

Then Julian shifted her gaze with a pale expression, she saw the pupil descending down and a huge flowery bud appeared in her and others' vision.

The flower didn't have leaves but tentacles wriggling and swirling around like worms.

At the centre of it, the huge eerie red and black eye was embedded which gave an everlasting memory of the nightmare that destroys one's mind.

The tentacles were as dark as darkness itself and that pupil could suck the soul out of a person with a mere glance.

Calvin and his group felt goosebumps all over their body.

Their body froze with the feeling of countless tentacles wriggling on their bodies and sucking the very essence of their soul.

Even though they had dealt with nefarious beings and had seen many things that could give them nightmares, this was something beyond that.

Just to summon him, they had sacrificed countless beings of several hundred thousands.

"For what pathetic reason, have you disturbed me."

A majestic chilling voice was heard that shook the whole axis of the place.

Calvin fell onto his knee and hit his head.

"We greet Heavenly General Of Evil Lord."

"We welcome The Heavenly General of Evil Lord."

"Hmmm!"

A hoarse sombre ancient voice carrying a majestic strength similar to a God echoed.

It was then its huge pupil turned towards Julian.

Even before Julian could do anything, the escape talisman in her body activated and her figure glowed.

Just as her body was about to be pulled out by escape magic, the whole space around her was locked and the menacing pupil gaze shifted towards Julian making her body tremble as if it would burst into pieces.
