Chapter 1005: Chapter 781: Great Priestess
Brilliant flames ignite.
The shriveled skull, along with its Pharaoh’s crown, burns into ashes of salt and sulfur!
Yet the outcome remains undecided.
Among the ashes, the great bow of the corpse’s garment suddenly levitates, and the Decay Pharaoh’s body reassembles, resurrecting from the ashes!
As long as the plague’s disaster doesn’t perish, and as long as the healer in Hell still exists, his incarnation can awaken at any moment!
This time, a ripping sound arises.
Huai Shi’s hand, with five fingers joined, the drummer’s command, instantly pierces his defenseless shell, deeply embedding into the shriveled lungs.
Gripping the heart that remains foul-smelling beneath various spices.
"Come to think of it, I haven’t used this yet."
Huai Shi stares into his lifeless eyes, his right arm silently transforming into gold and iron.
He says, "Casting, begin!"
In that instant, the Decay Pharaoh’s body suddenly convulses, and from its mouth and nose, black flames erupt. Terrifying heat spreads from the inside out, consuming its shell along with the great bow in its hand...
That is not true fire, but a phenomenon formed through countless miraculous transformations in Alchemy.
The power of Alchemy Fire, accompanied by the force of the Casting Furnace, spreads, instantly engulfing him within.
This is not killing... but a [Transformation] from Alchemy!
When the divine nature of the Great Priestess combines with the soul of the Hand of Confinement, it forms an ability corresponding to the Soloist’s Shadow Burial—’Sun-born’!
Buried from shadows, then reborn beneath the sun.
’Shadow Burial’ transforms oneself into the Source Substance, followed swiftly by effects of migration and traversal in shadow form.
Whereas ’Sun-born’ is entirely different; its power forcibly converts the opponent’s Source Substance, soul, and even stigma into shadow, then reversely performs Source Substance refinement!
The closer the attributes and essence are between each other, the stronger this forceful transformation becomes!
This is the biggest reason the Sublimators of the Heavenly Kingdom Genealogy see the Great Priestess as the ’Primary Threat.’ Besides its essence being excessively close to the Abyss, enabling it to be effective against Abyssal Creatures, other Sublimators of the Heavenly Kingdom Genealogy are also within its special attack range!
Under this rough conversion targeting the soul and stigma, no matter how solid the structure is, it will sustain irreparable damage.
Yet when Sun-born’s transformation merges with Hand of Confinement, Casting Furnace, and Alchemy Fire, Huai Shi can achieve the precise processing that other Great Priestesses cannot accomplish.
Just like now—
In a snap, the Decay Pharaoh is burned to ashes by black flames, and the melting great bow of the corpse’s garment mournfully breaks inch by inch... and the casting has ended.
Amidst the flying sulfur and salt, Huai Shi’s five fingers slowly open, displaying two radiant gemstones in hand.
A cat’s eye stone and an emerald, crystallized after gathering poison and curses, a veritable Border Relic.
"Just remembered, rare trip out, ought to bring back some gifts for the students."
He smiles, looks up, and softly questions, "I adore this function! And you?"
No response.
In the silence of death, behind the Predator Legion’s formation, cold and heavy figures emerge.
Like a bloated youth soaked in venom, a decayed lady shrouded under black gauze, and a deformed freak with a bizarre iron crown on his head...
Embodiments from the healer descend heavily.
The Predator Legion has completed its final encirclement, this place now trapped in a relentless kill-or-be-killed scenario—
The wind carries the scent of death.
"So audacious, huh? Midnight parade must conclude before dawn; it’s the rules."
Huai Shi raises his head, gazing at the clash and struggle between [Truth Forever] and the [Bhagavad Gita] above the sky dome, and the sunlight gradually piercing through the clouds.
The sky is about to brighten.
"Now, the time for indulgence is ending, everyone, you along with it."
The Great Priestess’s hands slowly open, grasping the hilt of virtue and grudge, calmly declaring to the enemy, "All things must return to the right track."
—Return to my rightful track!
In that moment, Huai Shi moves forward, with the clash of swords and buzzing of blades, fiery light surges from Huai Shi’s eyes.
Proclaiming the arrival of war and death!
