Chapter 478: Chapter 478 Wasteland Section (40)_1 Chapter 478: Chapter 478 Wasteland Section (40)_1 Several seconds later, the endless light dissipated, and the silhouette I had just seen vanished without a trace.
At last, the real target was found.
Fu Qian was quite satisfied with this outco.
From the beginning to the end, his goal was very clear—to find this potentially terrifying entity.
The only relevant information was that Kelson might have encountered it, so when Fu Qian ran away earlier, he directly chose the place where Kelson had beco deranged when he left.
Considering that only Kelson had an incident while Sybil was fine, it was reasonable to assu that the cleansing was caused by Kelson’s deranged behavior.
In other words, this thing reacted to a wide-area AOE, which could be used to draw her out.
But considering her dangerousness, finding soone else to take action was the most appropriate.
So from the very beginning, his series of reactions and movents were aid at luring Ji Yicheng into action.
To his delight, not only did the latter take action, but he even found a corpse to increase the efficiency—extrely cooperative indeed.
And as heaven rewards the diligent, while leading two hitn to almost completely scour the room, and Fu Qian was about to move on to the next location, there finally ca a response.
As for why the location was pinpointed so accurately, it was because Fu Qian had noticed sothing.
Previously in the hall with many glowing insects, even after all the insects had died, he could still feel an unceasing sense of purification.
At the ti, he did not understand why, and when he went back, it was gone.
Now, Fu Qian strongly suspected that the entity had been hiding on one side, and although it did not attack people actively, it was constantly cleansing the “corruption” around it.
After he had left, she also wandered out, which was why that sense of cleansing was no longer there later.
Therefore, Fu Qian relied on this special feeling to serve as a location beacon.
The facts proved that it was indeed her, and his behavior of using soone else as a probe was rather wise.
Ji Yicheng, out of caution, collapsed instantly despite being far away; the dry corpse turned directly to ash—this power was indeed extraordinary.
And at this mont, below the beam, dark green churned, and rising bubbles could even be seen.
Being a mighty Angel, Brother Yicheng was not so easily defeated.
The next mont, a pair of shattered wings erged from the muck, frantically flapping as they lifted a colossal body out of the sewage.
However, his consciousness was clearly still disoriented; he crashed into the beam at first, again losing his balance and falling, causing a large splash.
It was only on the second attempt that Ji Yicheng finally escaped and landed sowhat unsteadily in the outer corridor; his bewildered eyes reflected the figure of Fu Qian.
…
“What was that?”
He was clearly still imrsed in the scene he had just experienced, asking subconsciously.
“Hard to say, and you should have a better grasp of it than I do,” I replied.
“I feel like I have offended sothing…but that power, it’s beyond imagination!”
“I couldn’t feel any emotions from it, just an indescribable purity.”
“To , it felt like the King of Angels, no, even more, as if it were the entity that fosters Angels.”
Ji Yicheng’s amazent was quite sincere.
It matched my own assessnt—firstly, the power was indeed of the sa origin as him, but it was clearly a higher existence.
An existence higher than the Oath Taking Angel; could this be the embodint of the object of the oath? Like the Goddess of Sin and Punishnt?
If that’s the case, things might get rather grim.
Before Sir William died, the Goddess of Sin and Punishnt only exerted all her effort to reinforce him but never showed herself.
Is there an unobservable wandering god here?
That shouldn’t be the case; I didn’t lose my sanity when I saw her earlier, and a True God wouldn’t be so amiable.
So, like Sir William, was that Pregnant Angel also an enhanced Oath Taker?
That seems sowhat reasonable, but re enhancent shouldn’t cause such a significant anomaly.
“Have you heard of any won going missing in the swamp before?”
As I pondered, I asked directly.
The Ji Family’s information should be quite astute, especially when discovering such strange places; they must have done so comprehensive investigation.
Figuring out the identity of that woman could make a difference.
“`
“That… too many, people die in the wastelands every day, both n and won, not to ntion a place like the swamp.”
“Recently, pregnant won.”
Fu Qian coldly added two qualifiers.
Pregnant won…
Ji Yicheng muttered to himself, then thought of sothing.
“Indeed, there was a woman nad Lorin who believed her lover might have gone missing in the swamp, so she disregarded all advice and ca here searching for him, and in the end, she went missing too. She was said to be pregnant at that ti.”
Lorin?
Fu Qian recalled the silhouette of a human figure and sighed.
If this really was that Lorin, then it ans she had inadvertently entered these underground ruins and, like Ji Yicheng, unintentionally completed the covenant.
So what exactly is needed to complete a covenant?
A sinner’s covenant is very simple, just need to possess Sinfla and assu a specific pose in front of the Goddess Statue.
It’s hard to imagine what common action Ji Yicheng and the pregnant woman nad Lorin could have taken.
Wait a second!
The next mont, Fu Qian realized sothing.
Never mind Lorin for now, if it was not the Chosen One, what special thing did Ji Yicheng do that made him stand out?
Fu Qian’s gaze scrutinized the man, recalling the words he had once said.
The ability of Ashfall allowed one to turn into a sort of spirit form, thus becoming immune to a variety of negative effects, convenient for exploring unknown areas.
Could it be that the requirent is to be in spirit form? To stand before the mirror like this and set the covenant?
But Lorin, a wild Transcendent, truly has a hard ti being linked with the ancestral bloodline of the Ji Family.
“Don’t kill !”
In the midst of Fu Qian’s contemplation, Ji Yicheng seed to finally co to his senses, yelling out loud.
The ntal state is not bad at all, actually still full of the will to live.
It appears that his innate condition provides him with a stronger resistance to the shock he just experienced.
Fu Qian nodded slightly, looking at the Fallen Angel before him.
“Can’t you teleport?”
…
Ji Yicheng was stunned montarily, as if he had just realized this point, and his eyes montarily lit up.
However, half a minute later, the light quickly faded.
“I can’t do it anymore.”
“Why?”
…
Ji Yicheng was silent for a long ti, then suddenly thought of sothing.
“Ailina!”
“What?”
Ji Yicheng suddenly blurted out the na of this wicked fallen girl, the leap in the conversation was a bit too large.
“Mr. Fu, you don’t want Ailina to die, do you?”
Classmate Ji, has the toxicity gone to your brain?
What kind of ti is it to bring up this sort of phrase?
“I can tell that, although you do not communicate, you are definitely old acquaintances.”
“You’ve got quite the observational skills indeed.”
Fu Qian nodded slightly, his tone neutral.
“As for our relationship, there is indeed a bit of it, probably enough to take care of one’s remains in passing.”
…
“Therefore, your reason is not sufficient.”
