Chapter 522 Eudes <TOC> Chapter 524 Sealing Potion
Translator: SumTLMan
“Only once a month there is an opportunity to escape, with only a minute each time, the illusionary node will be withdrawn.” Coral’s expression was cold: “That woman just now purposely chose to escape when Angel was dealing with the ghost, we were all fooled, it’s really infuriating!”
Cherie: “Complaining is useless, if we don’t want to die, we must find Eudes’ core immediately, kill it, and then we can leave.”
Although everyone felt a bit uncomfortable, Cherie was right, complaining was useless, it was better to do something practical.
Coral: “But now we don’t know where Eudes’ core is, if we just blindly stumble upon it, there definitely won’t be enough time.”
The immediate problem they faced was to find the core as soon as possible. As time grew tighter, Angel’s pressure grew more intense.
“Meow meow~”
Angel heard Luna’s voice and suddenly remembered that Luna seemed to be unaffected by illusions. Maybe it could… Angel looked back with a glimmer of hope, but saw Luna clutching Cherie’s clothes, constantly floating. The current was too strong, and it almost got washed away, which was why it cried out in fear.
Angel reached out and scooped Luna into his arms.
With a secure backrest, Luna could finally catch her breath and slumped in Angel’s arms.
Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Cherie’s eyes: Luna usually didn’t like being touched by people other than her, but within just two days, Luna had tolerated Angel’s contact?
“Luna, can you find Eudes’ core?” Angel asked.
Everyone seemed to have thought of Luna’s existence and looked curiously. At the beginning, Luna was the only creature that wasn’t affected by the illusion, and Angel would have been affected if it weren’t for his soul leaving his body.
Luna didn’t expect to suddenly become the focus of everyone’s attention and was stared at by everyone until her back felt cold. With a meow, her black fur puffed up, and then she jumped out of Angel’s hands in a few steps, landing behind Cherie. From behind Cherie’s feet, she shakily poked her head out and shook it at everyone.
“Luna said she can’t find it, the smell here is too strong, she can’t distinguish anything,” Cherie translated.
Nausica thought of Luna’s previous appearance drifting in the water and suddenly said: “Why don’t we follow the direction of the water flow? Since the water flow is going into Eudes’ body, maybe we can also follow the water to find the core.”
“That’s a good idea. We’re currently between the shell and the flesh, and if we want to enter Eudes’ body, going with the flow is indeed a way,” Angel nodded, but suddenly changed the topic: “However, once we enter the main body, going with the flow may not necessarily lead us to the core. We might end up being washed straight into the stomach and digested.”
“Is there anything we can do now?”
The more urgent the time, the greater the pressure on Angel. Most people would probably become flustered and collapse under such circumstances. However, Angel’s thoughts did not become confused due to the pressure, but rather became even more calm.
“I have an idea, but to achieve this idea, we need to enter Eudes’s body with the flow of water.” Angel turned and took the lead, following the torrent and entering a hole.
Everyone immediately followed.
After going with the flow in the hole for a while, with Cherie’s netherworld fire around, the darkness was dispelled, and everyone could clearly see that the cave wall was no longer the color of earth but had turned into a fiery orange-red color.
“We should have entered its body.” Angel looked at the color of the cave wall, roughly estimated the position and distance, and then looked at Nausica: “Finding the core now depends on you.”
“Me?” Nausica asked doubtfully.
“There are still illusion nodes around here, so we can’t sense any abnormalities. However, your mechanical arm has direct touch and won’t activate illusion nodes, so it’s up to you to sense the heartbeat sound to determine the core position.” Angel said directly.
After listening to Angel’s words, Nausica understood the plan. Throughout this journey, she was mostly taken care of, so she naturally wanted to perform her best when given a rare opportunity to contribute.
Nausica nodded calmly: “I can do it. Leave it to me.”
At first, everyone was worried about whether this plan could succeed, but with Nausica’s guidance, they found many hidden passages.
These hidden passages were all protected by marvelous illusion barriers, and sometimes even Angel didn’t notice them.
It’s clear that Nausica played an extremely important role here.
After taking two concealed passages in a row, everyone had completely left the water flow and arrived at a passage filled with “spider webs.”
During the journey, Gank accidentally broke a spider web. Everyone felt a tremor in the air, as if there was a slight earthquake.
“These spider webs should have nerve senses. Be careful not to bump into them,” Angel observed for a moment and said to everyone.
According to the last Ger race they met, Eudes had been asleep for thousands of years. If their carelessness led to Eudes waking up, the already difficult path would become even more challenging.
After walking for a while, Nausica suddenly stopped in front of a layer of blood-red membrane.
Extending the mechanical arm, she touched the thin membrane, feeling it.
Nausica: “It should be right inside, I can feel the intense heartbeat, and it’s only separated by this thin layer of membrane.”
Angel also tried to touch the membrane with his hand. But before touching it, he felt his whole body swaying.
This swaying wasn’t momentary; it was continuous and became more and more intense.
Luna also suddenly began to meow non-stop.
Upon understanding Luna’s meaning, Cherie’s face changed: “This is bad, Luna says Eudes seems to be awakening, we must hurry!”
In fact, thinking carefully, it can be judged that with a super monster like Eudes, someone moving around its heart, the core area, Eudes should wake up.
Breaking this membrane would certainly awaken it immediately.
Once Eudes fully awakens, its power and aura alone would be enough to deal with them. So, there is not much time left for them; they must destroy its heart immediately!
Angel, thinking of this, decided to give it his all, regardless of the consequences.
He directly blasted open the blood-colored membrane.
As the membrane shattered, Eudes began to roll frantically. Everyone inside its body felt unstable, but the sea surface outside became turbulent, with dark clouds rolling and terrifying waves accompanied by sea tornadoes pressing in all directions.
In a cave at the Land of Demise, a giant ancestor of a tribe suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Eudes: “Eudes has also awakened… sigh… such is fate…”
A long sigh, filled with endless emotions.
A young man with a longbow on his back was holding a notebook, quickly recording something at the ancestor’s feet. From time to time, he would take out a communicator, as if trying to preserve the sound and image of the ancestor.
The scene returns to the inside of Eudes’ body.
With the undulating ground, everyone broke into the blood-colored membrane one after another.
As soon as they entered, without Nausica saying anything, they could all hear the continuous heartbeat.
This was a spacious chamber, a huge heart connected to countless blood vessels, suspended in mid-air, pulsing large and small, like an unstoppable power pump.
Everyone had already felt the pressure from all directions, and Cherie released her most potent spell without hesitation, with countless dark fires pouring out from the oil lamp.
The flames burned the heart, and the blood-colored heart gradually turned into a dark black color.
Nausica made several consecutive leaps, pressing her left hand against her right wrist, and a spiral burst of energy shot out from her palm, striking the surface of the heart.
However, as soon as Nausica’s hand touched the surface of the heart, she was rebounded by a soft force and fell heavily to the ground.
Despite this, the spiral energy was incredibly fierce, creating a hole in the heart and causing energy-rich heart-blood to gush out.
Coral was dancing an unknown ritual dance, and the heart suddenly enlarged several times, accompanied by the dance, and began to be brutally smashed following the hole created by Nausica.
In just a brief moment, a massive rupture appeared in the heart.
At this point, with the overwhelming pressure that came with the attack, everyone lost their strength and fell to their knees.
Seizing the opportunity as she fell, Hilary shouted at the gushing blood: “Oil of the Dark Bone!”
As the words fell, the energy-filled red blood transformed into a green and gloomy Oil of the Dark Bone.
Cherie’s dark fire was instantly ignited by the Oil of the Dark Bone, and what was initially just ordinary scorching suddenly blazed violently.
In almost an instant, more than half of the heart turned pitch black.
Even with only half of the heart remaining, it continued to beat. Meanwhile, the pressure that originally only immobilized everyone became more violent due to the heart’s damage.
Everyone spat out blood together.
Among the people present, Angel was the most injured, directly collapsing to the ground, dizzy and disoriented. He couldn’t help it; his physical body was too weak, even Nausica was much stronger than him.
“What do we do? There’s still half of the heart left.”
Everyone was now powerless to move. Angel clenched his fist and recited the Mysterious Soul Whisper.
At this moment, having an out-of-body soul experience was extremely difficult and dangerous. Without the support of soul power, his physical body would suffer even more damage under the immense pressure, and his vitality would disappear even faster!
Angel could only gamble, hoping to shatter the heart before his body’s vitality disappeared.
He felt the gravity source in his soul.
Due to the extensive use of Gravity Lines in recent days, the Gravity Lines in his soul were extremely thin, and Angel didn’t know if he could succeed in one fell swoop.
He took a deep breath, pouring out all the Gravity Lines from his soul, and aimed at the remaining half of the heart, shouting:
“Explode!”
“Explode!” This was not only Angel’s shout but also the last hope that rose in the eyes of everyone else!
The rumbling gray veins were all entwined in that half of the heart, and with Eudes’ scream, the heart shattered in response!
Shattered into countless debris of flesh! Scattered like a bloody rain, staining everyone’s clothes, swords, lamps, and faces…
Countless blood gushed out from those blood vessels!
In an instant, a pool of blood was formed in the center of the hall.
Hilary stared blankly at the blood rain in the sky, whispering: “Did we succeed?”
“The pressure has disappeared, so we should have succeeded, right?” Cherie stood up, as the pressure completely vanished when the heart broke.
“That’s great!” Even though her emotions had been suppressed, Coral jumped up, her face full of smiles: “Great, we succeeded!”
Angel also smiled as he descended and returned to his body.
As soon as he returned to his body, he felt pain all over, but compared to this pain, what else mattered if they could kill Eudes?
Finally, they could arrive at the Land of Demise before the time limit… Angel sighed with emotion.
Suddenly, his body stiffened, and he closed his eyes abruptly.
“Something’s wrong! The illusion spell node has not disappeared!”
