American Horror Story: A Tale of Terror from Silent Hill

Chapter 104 Monster
What is the enhanced version of straw wrapping?

After Baling's body was strengthened several times, the derived straw no longer just increased its toughness and absorbed the vitality of flesh and blood, it also had a new ability - absorbing energy.

In other words, it used to suck blood, but now it sucks mana.

In the previous fight, Baling was unable to get close, and Jiali liked to keep her distance, so they could never find a suitable opportunity.

Now, the balance of victory is beckoning towards Baling.

The straw that had already entangled Carrie was tightening inwards and growing outwards at the same time, weaving into a solid cage.

Carrie was caught off guard by Baling's sudden attack. She tried to use her magic power to break free from the shackles, but found that she was unable to do so.

The release of magic power requires the flow of the body, but Carrie was blocked by the magic-absorbing straw wrapped around her body, and the output was greatly reduced.

As her magic power continued to drain away, Carrie, who still had a mortal body, suddenly became limp and knelt down in the cage. The lion in her eyes fell asleep again.

During these few minutes, Baling's golden straw heart beat thumpingly, and waves of resurrection power pumped throughout his body, quickly repairing the damage to his body.

After taking a few steps to the cage, Baling looked at Jiali's peaceful face as she fell into deep sleep, and knew that this accident was half resolved successfully.

As for the other half, it depends on his subsequent manipulation.

Carrie's condition is indeed more stable than before, but she could relapse at any time.

The reason for this is that his magic power, which awakened prematurely, is not in harmony with his immature body.

The only way to completely solve this problem is to wait until Carrie grows up to an age that can adapt to magic, or to use external force to suppress the restlessness of magic.

The latter is Baling's choice.

The excessive magic power has calmed down a lot after being vented and absorbed, but the root cause lies in Carrie's strong magical physique. As long as she is alive, the magic power will recover and grow until it riots again.

"Carrie, your ability is too dangerous. This is both my fault and yours."

"But if you let it go, you can't control yourself, so you have no choice but to do it."

"If you agree, just nod."

The straw shook a few times, and the sleeping Carrie nodded three times in succession. She had no objection.

Baling put his hands into the cage. The activity of the straw became stronger immediately after it came into contact with Baling's body. The magic-absorbing straw transformed into eight chains as thick as arms, locking up Carrie's limbs.

Swallowed in an instant!

Carrie was in a state of being unable to resist, and her magic power was being continuously drained away.

The magic power stored in the magic straw was guided into Baling's body. As his magic physique had not yet been fully transformed, Baling was extremely efficient in absorbing and transforming this similar power.

At this moment, Baling's dark power was surging, and his straw body was igniting little sparks, as if it was about to burn itself.

The scorching dark power was surging, like being baked in a furnace. The dark red light flickered from the inside out, and the air around it was distorted, as if being burned by flames.

On the ground, the grass debris that was crushed into pieces in the aftermath of the battle was actually ignited directly, and wisps of white smoke rose up.

The abundant power circulated rapidly in the body, and finally, all of Carrie's magic power was sucked away, while Baling's face was flushed, as if he had taken a tonic pill.

He looked at the sleeping Carrie with satisfaction.

Wow, what a treasure girl. Every time she gets a gold coin, she saves a lot of hard training.

On Baling's forehead, which had a middle-parted hairstyle, faint rice-ear-like lines appeared. His eyes flashed, and dark red light shot out from them.

The large tree that survived the storm immediately exploded with a large hole running through its trunk. The attached dark fire burned the remaining remains, and the dripping sparks quickly ignited other flammable debris.

"My dream has come true! I can really shine with my eyes!"

Baling's eyes shot out dark red rays again and again, setting the remaining trees on fire one by one.

In the darkness, the flames grew more intense, and the sounds of explosions and collapses echoed one after another, resounding through the night sky. Baling didn't want to set the mountain on fire either, so after verifying his strength, he activated the power of darkness.

An invisible giant hand emerged from the air.

A huge palm descended from the sky and slapped down. The spreading fire was blown out by the fierce palm wind, and the turned soil surface was compacted instantly, leaving a palm print with distinct five fingers.

After repeating this process several times, a fire that threatened the forest was put to an end.

"Wow, my head feels dizzy and uncomfortable."

Touching her head, Carrie let out a faint moan, and the huge noise woke her up.

"you're awake."

"Where am I? What happened? Why do I feel so dizzy? I can't remember anything."

"Relax, it's normal to feel dizzy."

Baling comforted the panicked Carrie. A few minutes later, he learned from Carrie that she had forgotten what happened after she had the seizure.

I only remember that after eating the delicious fried chicken, I fell asleep in the car, and when I woke up, I was lying in a forest that looked like it had been ravaged by a storm.

I don’t remember, is it true or false?
Baling stared at Carrie with his innocent eyes to tell her not to lie, otherwise she would keep staring at her.

However, Carrie actually looked back at Baling with the same innocent eyes, confused and ignorant.

There's no mistaking that look, which seems untainted by knowledge.

Probably, Carrie really forgot what happened during that time.

Well, it’s better to forget it. It’s not a pleasant experience to transform from a good girl to a crazy old lady. It may be a subconscious avoidance in the heart.

This is Baling’s judgment.

Baling omitted the specific content of the battle between the two and only explained Carrie's current situation.

In short, Carrie, your power is too dangerous and must be controlled!

Baling could only reluctantly absorb her magic power to help her resolve the difficulties.

Before Carrie could adapt to the rapid growth of her magic power, Baling had to absorb the excess magic power that Carrie could not control every once in a while.

Otherwise, once it gets out of control, it will be a disaster for those around Carrie.

After Baling's explanation, Carrie had a preliminary understanding of what had happened before, but she was still unable to fully accept it in her heart.

"This...is this all done by me?"

"Kid, it's not just you. I did it too."

Carrie stood there in a daze. From the traces of fighting such as fire, ice, and wind, as well as the mess of ravines on the side, she could tell how terrifying her ability was.

The environment has been greatly damaged.

This level of environmental destruction has caused serious harm to the local vegetation. It will take decades for this huge gap in the forest to recover.

As if she could hear the wailing of the forest and the displaced animals, Carrie felt like a monster.

"Monster, I'm just a monster!"

Carrie staggered backward, feeling greatly shocked. Was she really a normal person?

If it weren't for today, she didn't know that her power could cause such great harm.
