Chapter 98 Magic Backlash
The current situation is extremely dangerous. Xu Nian uses all his mental power to control his feet and control his center of gravity so that he will not be sucked into the vortex.
He has a feeling that if he cannot resist being sucked into it, he will be skinned alive.
Moreover, the most important thing is that as all his mental power is rapidly consumed, the feeling of mental power being shackled becomes heavier and heavier. He even finds that his vision around him is blurry, and the familiar dark prison reappears in front of him.
It is still the familiar iron door and keyhole. He tried to open the iron door, but there was no response.
Moreover, as he angrily beat the iron door, the surrounding walls shook violently like an earthquake.
"Is there anyone? Is there anyone?"
Yu Man looked at Xu Nian, who was leaning over, and opened her mouth to roar silently. Although she didn't know what the other party was doing, she could feel that the other party's mental power was being consumed rapidly.
Although she also consumed a lot, she estimated that if she continued like this, she would definitely win, so although her face was a little pale, she gradually showed a faint joy.
Especially when she noticed the curled-up baby gradually appearing in the light cocoon beside her, she was even more excited and her eyes were red as she said, "Daughter, my lovely daughter, are you finally going to be born?"
The black vortex above her head was still releasing infinite suction. Although Xu Nian's body did not move forward, his spiritual power was being consumed exponentially. Even, visible to the naked eye, his face began to have spots like weathering.
This is a sign that the spiritual power is about to be exhausted, and it is also evidence that the situation is developing towards the most dangerous situation.
Xu Nian naturally didn't know all this. At this moment, he was pounding on the iron door in the dark like a madman.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang
The sound was endless.
Xu Nian looked like a madman.
Although Yu Man also noticed that Xu Nian was not right, she was in no mood to care so much at the moment when victory was in sight. Instead, she worked harder to input her spiritual power into the black vortex.
In other words, at this point, she actually had no way out. Either Xu Nian died, or she was drained of spiritual power and died.
The sacrifice she wanted was Xu Nian's body, and she didn't care about the spiritual power.
However, no one noticed that as more and more spots appeared on Xu Nian's face due to weathering, the red rattle in his hand seemed to melt and slowly disappeared.
A deadly atmosphere gradually filled the entire cave.
Yu Man seemed to see the dawn of victory, and a joyful luster burst out in her eyes.
At this moment, Xu Nian's entire breath suddenly disappeared, and then his whole body flew towards the black vortex like an out-of-control puppet.
Yu Man reacted very quickly, removed the black vortex in an instant, and then grabbed Xu Nian's body.
Seeing Xu Nian's terrible look of death, she laughed excitedly: "The best ash spirit will belong to me after all!"
After she finished speaking, she put Xu Nian's body down, walked to the light cocoon enthusiastically, bit her middle finger with force, and drew a weird pentagram array on the light cocoon with blood. In the center of the array was a weird symbol that looked a bit like the oracle character "spirit".
Then, she drew the same magic circle and symbols on the ground again, and placed Xu Nian's body on the ground.
"In the dark room beyond time and space, there came the sound of crazy drum beating. It was the ancient dark gods living under the abyss welcoming their masters, the great Nyarlathotep. Your humble servant has offered you the most perfect sacrifice. Please release your power, show your might, and let the souls wandering in the darkness be reborn."
In an instant, there seemed to be a pair of invisible eyes looking here, and then an angry voice sounded in the air:
"Stupid ant, what I want is a divine body, not an ugly, disgusting body of a ruler."
As soon as the voice fell, Yu Man hadn't reacted to what was going on, and felt a pain in his internal organs, and then the whole person seemed to be severely injured, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Not good, magic backlash!"
Yu Man was shocked.
But, it was too late.
The magic circle, which had been motionless, suddenly lit up, and then the crystal clear light cocoon melted quickly like a candle. At the same time, pure spiritual power was injected into Xu Nian's body with the magic circle as the source.
"No!"
Yu Man's face changed drastically, and he roared, but he held the sickle and chopped at Xu Nian's head regardless.
But an incredible scene appeared. A nearly transparent prison suddenly appeared around Xu Nian's body. The iron door on the prison was clearly visible. Although it seemed illusory, it pushed Yu Man and the sickle in his hand back dozens of steps.
From a distance, Yu Man looked at this scene dully, and said: "The spiritual prison actually appeared. Is this guy going to unlock the first spiritual lock?"
As he said, the huge light cocoon had completely disappeared, and the pure and huge spiritual power slowly lifted Xu Nian's body. At the same time, a red hilt was condensed in Xu Nian's hand again. Yes, there was only a hilt, no blade.
But Xu Nian, with a dead look on his face, slowly raised the hilt of his sword and stretched it towards the scabbard-style lock hole of the iron door.
He obviously didn't insert it, but he suddenly turned 180 degrees.
Click.
The lock of the iron door was twisted miraculously.
The iron door opened by itself, followed by a loud bang.
The dazzling black light suddenly appeared like a cosmic explosion.
Yu Man subconsciously narrowed her eyes, but saw that the prison cell was gone, and Xu Nian's eyes gradually became full of human brilliance!
"Unlocked!"
Yu Man stared at this scene blankly, and her mind was blank for a while.
She spent so much effort and spent so much time, is it over like this?
"I'm not willing!"
She suddenly roared to the sky with a ferocious face, and then raised the black sickle in her hand frantically again, and the surging spiritual power surged out again, and the black vortex was renewed.
"Not enough! Not enough!"
Yu Man's pretty face was distorted, and she shouted frantically, and a distorted woman's face appeared vaguely on the sickle.
The woman's face was unfamiliar, but at this moment it was distorted beyond human appearance.
Xu Nian blinked, as if he had just understood what had just happened, and raised the red hilt in his hand to slash at the sickle in Yu Man's hand.
In an instant, a black sword light burst out of the air like teleportation, and the sickle in Yu Man's hand was hit hard and flew away. At the same time, the woman's face that appeared on the sickle surface let out a shrill scream.
"Xu Nian, I will kill you!"
Yu Man suddenly roared, and black flames burned on his body.
