Chapter 181 A Pyrrhic Victory
Announcement: Update coming soon, please stay tuned!
Fujiwara Ichiura was also a master of spatial magic, which is why he used a spatial barrier to block the longhorn dragon's breath at the beginning. Of course, Fujiwara Ichiura wouldn't just blindly run into Zobi's barrier. He waved his fan, and another barrier intersected with Zobi's barrier in an X shape, instantly canceling each other out and turning into fragments.
Zhuo Bi followed closely behind, flicking his wand. The path beneath Fujiwara Ichiura's feet was instantly lengthened several times over, making it appear to others as if Fujiwara Ichiura's speed, which he couldn't escape, suddenly slowed down.
Fujiwara Ichiura quickly realized he had been tricked. He turned around and waved his fan at Zobi. A bird-man with black wings and a strange mask flew out of the ancient book in his hand. He grabbed the bird-man's claw and immediately escaped from Zobi's spatial magic.
Bai Lin's main enemy was still Sun Xueli. Although Sun Xueli looked pained, his inner demon energy surged wildly from his mouth, nose and ears, just like the out-of-control demonic boy that day. However, his hands did not merge with this inner demon energy. Instead, the black figure behind him gradually merged into the inner demon energy, forming a black whirlwind.
Bai Lin's heart skipped a beat, and suddenly, a possibility occurred to him.
He had previously considered the origin of Dementors, which he believed were monsters created from human souls by evil wizards who could control the Obscurus. That energy had the same effect as the inner demon energy before him, so could their weaknesses also be similar?
We have plenty of experience dealing with the Dementors Whitescale. Dementors are usually in a void state, and even the Guardian Charm can only make them run away in pain, but it can't actually hurt them. Only when they release "Dementor's Kiss" will they transform from a void state into a physical state. This is when they are at their strongest and weakest. We can use the Guardian Charm and many healing spells to damage them.
Similarly, Sun Xueli is usually in a physical state, but when faced with a powerful attack, he will transform into a void state. Does that mean that the void state may be his strongest and weakest point?
"Sister Ni Shuang, attack him with force. When he changes form, I'll deliver the fatal blow!" Bai Lin whispered quickly.
Yan Nishuang nodded heavily to him, and although You Qian was reluctant, she let go of his hand while tears streamed down her face, allowing Bai Lin to fight despite his injuries.
Yan Nishuang drew her Demon-Slaying Sword and, based on her experience on the cruise ship that day, unleashed "Demon-Slaying Sword: Howling Wind and Blazing Plains." At this moment, she also had a secondary sword in her hand. With a thought, she used another ultimate move with her left hand: "Demon-Slaying Sword: Flying Frost and Broken Grass."
Both of these moves were ice-based talisman spells. When used simultaneously, their power was amplified. Instantly, a large amount of cold air enveloped Sun Xueli and the black whirlwind around him. Sun Xueli felt his body freeze, and frost formed on the back of his hands.
The sudden cold seemed to freeze Sun Xueli's joints. He panicked for a moment, but the madness in his heart quickly overwhelmed the fear that only humans have. His eyes turned completely black, with no whites visible, and the black whirlwind around him spun faster and faster.
Sun Xueli suddenly turned his head and stared intently at Yan Nishuang. Bai Lin was immediately shocked. It was clear that Sun Xueli was willing to risk his own injury to kill Yan Nishuang, who was obviously the main enemy.
"Thunderbird Thunderbolt!" Bai Lin quickly summoned his ultimate weapon. Thunderbird flew out from the Pokédex, and a bolt of lightning condensed between Thunderbird's wings, directly blasting towards Sun Xueli's body.
Although this lightning bolt wasn't as earth-shattering as the Thunderbird's usual accumulation of power and summoning of thunderclouds, it was still quite powerful, enough to blast Sun Xueli into charcoal.
Sun Xueli was still conscious, and with a gritted teeth, he could only stop the "cursing spell" he was about to unleash, turning his body into nothingness and a wisp of black smoke. This not only freed him from the frozen state but also allowed him to dodge the lightning from the thunderbird.
This situation somewhat disrupted Bai Lin's plan, because he thought that Sun Xueli would turn into black smoke during Yan Nishuang's attack, and then he would make his move. However, he had just summoned the Thunder Bird and hadn't even caught his breath yet. The lightning strikes into the black smoke had no effect at all, which caused Bai Lin's plan to fall through. For a moment, he didn't know how to attack the black smoke.
Suddenly struck by a sudden realization, Bai Lin instinctively shouted, "Summon Mandrake!"
He thought he would summon a giant mandrake, and was wondering if the scream would deafen him and his teammates when he felt a weight in his hand. A spherical root appeared in his hand, with a mournful mandrake face in the center.
"This...this...this has been upgraded to a grenade?" Bai Lin was sweating profusely, but this was not the time to complain. Without saying a word, he rushed forward and threw the root in his hand at the black smoke.
The black smoke clearly sensed the approaching unidentified object. A large hand made of black smoke materialized in the air and grabbed the flying root. Just as it was about to crush the root, a scream rang out from it. The mandrake seemed to have been holding back for a very long time and finally released its scream. The sound waves were so real that they spread towards the black smoke.
The giant hand formed by the black smoke was instantly shattered by the sound waves, but the roots of the mandrake were clearly not going to give up. Even after falling to the ground, it still aimed at the direction of the black smoke and released its "singing voice" to its heart's content.
The black smoke scattered like a swarm of bees hit by pesticide. Bai Lin quickly cast a "Hearing Block" spell on himself, rushed forward, picked up a root, and pointed it in the direction of the black smoke.
The mandrake's screams grew louder and louder, soon reaching the ultrasonic level. This frequency could no longer harm humans, but sound waves seemed to be a natural nemesis to the black smoke. The black smoke was chased and flew around, but could not condense.
Bai Lin also noticed that the black smoke that Sun Xueli had turned into seemed unable to escape far and could only regroup in this vicinity. Without any hesitation, he chased after the black smoke and rushed into the forest. After running for several hundred meters, the mandrake finally lost its strength, regained its mournful appearance, and disappeared into Bai Lin's hand. Meanwhile, the black smoke dissipated by nearly half its volume during the escape.
Without the sonic attack, the black smoke landed on the mountainside more than ten meters in front of Bai Lin. Sun Xueli, who could only be considered a "wreck," fell to the ground. His left arm, along with his shoulder, legs, and half of his face, were gone, making him look extremely ferocious and terrifying. Only one eye remained, staring fiercely at Bai Lin, and his only remaining right arm dangled to the side.
Suddenly, a figure flashed and appeared in front of Sun Xueli. It was Fujiwara Ichiura. He could now manifest in his own form, indicating that he had successfully killed the four Execution Department mages who had released the interference barrier.
Two enormous creatures landed behind Bai Lin. It was obvious that they were the Longhorn Dragon, which had already defeated the Nine-Headed Bird Ghost Chariot, and the Thunder Bird that had just been summoned.
Looking at Bai Lin's summoned beast, Fujiwara Ichiura stared intently at Bai Lin. He knew, of course, that the other party was also a messenger of the gods and possessed a summoning encyclopedia similar to his own.
Fujiwara Ichiura was well-prepared for today's battle. He had spent several years collecting these dozens of shikigami, and today, despite the damage to his own body, he had released them all. He was confident that even if a hundred people from the Execution Department came, he would have enough time to revive Sun Xueli, kill the mage who was interfering with the teleportation, and then retreat unscathed.
But by this time, his shikigami had been almost all killed or injured, and Sun Xueli had become a cripple. His plan had failed miserably. And the cause of all this was the young man in front of him. He was able to resist the curse and survive. Strange and bizarre summoned beasts appeared one after another. Fujiwara Ichiura felt a long-lost sense of fear.
He originally thought he was a unique messenger of God, able to do whatever he wanted on earth on behalf of the gods. Whether it was the Atsuta Shrine in Japan (Japan's magic management agency), the Eastern Magic Management Committee, or the Nanyang Wizards Alliance in Southeast Asia... none of them could do anything to him. Gradually, he felt that he was a god, and ordinary people, ordinary wizards and sorcerers were no different from cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs in his eyes.
Years ago, he had already fantasized about one day unifying the entire East Asian magical world, becoming a Dharma Emperor, worshipped by thousands, and holding the power of life and death. Until his summoning manual revealed the invasion of extraterrestrial evil spirits and the method of finding awakened beings, in order to recruit Sun Xueli as his underling, he did not hesitate to brainwash him and several other young men of his own clan, teaching them evil spells that even he himself dared not use, all to make Sun Xueli obediently follow him wholeheartedly and become his number one henchman.
Who knew that all of this would be ruined by the person in front of him? Even more terrifying, Fujiwara Ichiura had a thought that terrified him: Had the gods abandoned him and were going to replace him with someone else?
At this moment, Sun Xueli, standing behind him, managed to say with half his mouth open, "Master! You must leave! I'll take them all down with me!"
Fujiwara Ichiura was overjoyed; his brainwashing had indeed worked. He stepped back to Sun Xueli's side, feigning sorrow, and said, "Good disciple! If there is an afterlife, I will still want to be your disciple!"
As he spoke, Fujiwara Ichiura vanished in a flash, disappearing without a trace.
Bai Lin sensed a sudden surge of immense energy emanating from Sun Xueli, a sense of foreboding washing over him. He knew something was wrong and turned to see Yan Nishuang and the mages from the Execution Department closing in. He quickly shouted, "Don't come any closer! Danger!"
Bai Lin didn't have time to think and immediately Apparated over. Yan Nishuang and You Qian were together, so he simply put one arm around each of their waists and used Apparition again. At the same time, a loud bang came from Sun Xueli's direction. As his body exploded into pieces, a huge black flame spread rapidly from his location in all directions. The mages who couldn't dodge in time were immediately engulfed by the black flame.
Bai Lin, carrying Yan Nishuang and You Qian, crashed heavily into the woods on the opposite mountain. When Bai Lin looked back, he saw that the Sun family cemetery was completely shrouded in black flames of malevolent energy. He could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
In a daze, not much time had passed. Bai Lin felt he had many dreams. He dreamed of his parents from his past life, his grandfather who taught him martial arts, his parents from this life, and his father who also taught him martial arts and swordsmanship. He dreamed of Xue Lin and Yan Nishuang. Eventually, these memories and figures gradually overlapped, and he could no longer distinguish what he had experienced and what the other Bai Lin had experienced...
But dreams always end.
Bai Lin felt as if he were floating down from the clouds and falling into a boundless, azure sea. However, he felt that the seawater was very warm and comfortable, as if it were nourishing his body. He felt as if he had turned into a big fish...
Immediately afterward, Bai Lin opened his eyes and suddenly realized that he was actually in the water. He didn't react for a moment and took a big gulp of water into his nose. He suddenly realized that he hadn't choked on the water and could breathe underwater, although the feeling of inhaling liquid was a little different from inhaling air and required more effort.
He seemed to be in a large glass pool, which resembled, if anything, a petri dish like the ones we'd seen in biology class.
The large petri dish wasn't deep, and Bai Lin used his hands to push himself up and climbed out of the pool.
"Ah! Kerry, you're awake!" A beautiful figure rushed over to the large petri dish, gripped the edge of the glass, and placed her hand on Bai Lin's shoulder. It was You Qian. She was wearing a white rubber lab coat, her hair was covered by a shower cap, and she looked haggard, as if she hadn't slept for several days and nights.
Bai Lin patted her hand with a touch of heartache and moved to the edge of the petri dish. Only then did he realize that he was completely naked. Fortunately, the liquid in the petri dish was not transparent, which eased his embarrassment somewhat.
He finally managed to vomit all the fluid out of his lungs, feeling a bit nauseous, but Yuqian hugged his neck without any disgust and gave him a sweet kiss: "Darling, you scared me to death!"
Bai Lin suddenly remembered that he seemed to have suffered severe burns. He quickly reached out and touched his face and the back of his head. His hair seemed to be gone, but his skin was smooth and flat as before, as if he had already recovered.
"Take a look at me right now, do I look like an ugly monster? Should I wear a mask when I go out from now on...?" Bai Lin exclaimed in alarm.
"Oh my..." Youxi was amused by Bai Lin and burst into laughter through her tears. She took out a small mirror from her bosom and placed it in front of Bai Lin. Bai Lin quickly looked at himself and thankfully, his handsome face was still there. His burns had healed completely without any trace, except that his head was shaved off like an egg.
Just then, Bai Lin heard the sound of a door being pushed open. He then noticed that he was in a clean white hospital room with many bulky instruments around him, like a laboratory. As soon as the door opened, a woman wearing a white coat and a shower cap walked in. She looked to be in her early forties and was very well-maintained. However, her face was frosty, and she did not give Bai Lin a friendly look when she saw that he had woken up.
"She's Sister Yan's mommy..." Youxi quickly whispered.
Bai Lin suddenly realized that Yan Nishuang must have brought him here, and it was no wonder her mother was upset when she found out that he wanted to break off his engagement with Yan Nishuang.
He awkwardly greeted her, "Ah...Hello, Auntie..."
Mother Yan gave Bai Lin a cold glance, then looked at You Qian, and said in a flat tone, "More than thirty people have died in the Execution Department. It's a Pyrrhic victory, but you've recovered quite well. You're really lucky!"
