Chapter 348 The next time we meet, we will be enemies

As Cassius's brain was sucked away bit by bit, Metis's face became paler.

The whole person was as if he had been fished out of the water, all wet.

When the last drop of Cassius's brain disappeared from Metis's fingertips, Metis sighed palely.

"Sure enough, that kind of information cannot be carried by the neural memory of mortals."

Metis, who had obtained almost all the memories in Cassius's mind through devouring it, searched through Cassius's life's memories. Except for a few plausible scenes, he still didn't get the information he wanted.

However, Metis did not mean this.

Because in mysticism, a lot of important information and memories are not carried on the body at all, but on the soul.

For many powerful beings or beings with special abilities, the body is sometimes not indispensable or irreplaceable, but the soul... is eternal and unique.

Therefore, Metis, who did not get the information he wanted from Cassius's mind, directly revealed his trump card.

The next second, a seed suddenly appeared out of thin air in Cassius's heart, blooming with strands of light.

Immediately afterwards, this seed of nothingness suddenly flashed directly into Cassius's soul, and quickly took root and sprouted in Cassius's soul that was filled with madness, depravity and pain, and then with Cassius The soul is the nourishment and grows rapidly.

In just a few seconds, a gray soul flower bloomed on top of Cassius's extremely weak soul, which might even collapse at any time.

And at the moment when the multi-soul flower bloomed.

A terrifying aura suddenly burst out from Cassius's soul, and then Cassius's extremely weak soul suddenly condensed, and even the aura of madness, chaos, degradation and pain in the soul was one of them. clear.

When absolute reason once again occupied Cassius's soul, Cassius, who was once the weakest, but also the most terrifying, appeared in front of Metis again.

Looking at the soul flower in front of him, which was slowly blooming with his own soul as nourishment, and Metis, who was spiritually connected to him, Cassius showed an expression of understanding and disdain.

"What if these are the back-up plans for your arrangement in my body?"

"Then you disappoint me, Metis."

"With these ritual runes and the soul fruit produced by this soul flower, how many secrets of my soul can you usurp?"

Listening to these words that directly echoed in his soul, Metis said calmly:

“I don’t need to know too much, as long as I get what I want, that’s enough.”

Before finishing speaking, Metis's soul stepped forward and appeared directly in front of the soul flower in front of Cassius. Then he stretched out his finger again and touched the strange flower in the stamen of the soul flower. Soul fruit.

The next second.

Metis's split index finger couldn't wait to swallow the still green soul fruit.

After the soul fruit was swallowed, secret and strange knowledge quickly filled Metis's mind.

The longer Metis stayed in contact with Cassius, the more mysterious and scary this guy became.

He is obviously just a mortal, but he possesses forbidden knowledge that many gods and demons do not know.

If not for some unknown reason, in order to quickly gain powerful power, Cassius frantically sacrificed his own sanity and death again and again to plunder those forbidden powers that did not belong to him, and became paranoid and dull. .

Even if Metis couldn't wait to resurrect his mother, he probably wouldn't dare to use this method to plot against the terrifying and crazy man he once was.

Therefore, after seeing Cassius disappearing from the madness in his soul, he once again became the terrifying man in his impression.

Metis devoured the unripe green fruit in advance without hesitation.

Cassius in front of Metis did not stop Metis from devouring the soul fruit that had absorbed the nutrients emitted from his corpse.

He doesn't seem to mind this at all.

"To resurrect your mother? It seems that your experience in this life has made you too weak, Metis."

"In that case, let me help you!"

A hint of extreme madness suddenly appeared in Cassius's eyes.

The next second.

Under his active control, Cassius's soul actively merged into the slowly blooming soul flower.

Turn your soul into nutrients and take the initiative to support the slowly blooming soul flower.

And with Cassius's active involvement, the soul fruit that Metis touched with his index finger suddenly grew and matured at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just seconds.

Cassius's soul suddenly turned into dots of light and submerged into the soul fruit that was constantly being ripened.

As the gray soul flower withered completely.

The soul fruit that carried Cassius' countless secrets was completely mature, and then fell into the hands of Metis.

"That guy..."

Recalling the weird smile Cassius gave him just before his soul died, Metis felt an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

However, I recall the time when the taboo that I wanted most appeared in my mind.

That trace of uneasiness was forgotten by Metis.

No matter how much it costs, she is willing to do it as long as she can revive her mother.

·······

When Cassius's soul was completely submerged in the soul fruit and his soul was scattered.

His body in the outside world also turned into a pool of ashes in the golden red light.

After Cassius turned into ashes, Metis, who was on the side of the golden red magic circle, suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of dirty blood.

"Puff..."

Accompanied by the spurting of dirty blood at this moment.

The vitality in Metis's body quickly passed away for decades at a terrifying speed.

At that moment, her black and shiny hair lost all its luster and turned into pale white hair.

White hair in childhood.

Even the vitality in Metis's body, in Ailin's spiritual vision, became like an old man in his eighties or nineties, like a candle in the wind, fragile.

It was as if what Metis spit out was not a mouthful of dirty blood, but her decades of life.

After seeing the changes in Metis, Ailin frowned slightly, and then took out a bottle of [Strong Healing Potion] from his space ring.

Then he opened it and fed it to Metis.

As the effect of [Strong Healing Potion] rapidly flowed through his body, Metis' pale face finally regained a trace of blood color.

Feeling the rising temperature in his body, Metis lowered his eyes and whispered:

"Thank you."

Huh?

Ailin looked at Metis in surprise.

It seemed a little surprised that this annoying kid had learned to say thank you now.

It seems that the past few months have made this guy really grow up a lot.

········

After taking a breath, Metis, who had recovered some strength, chanted a spell and cut his wrist.

With the blooming of a golden red light.

The blood gushing out of Metis's wrist, under the influence of a strange force, was suspended in the air and turned into two marble-sized, crystal clear blood crystals.

When the blood crystals were completely solidified, two gray soul lights suddenly burst out from Metis's brows and fell on the two blood crystals.

With a gentle push, the two blood crystals floating in the air were pushed in front of Ailin and Tamamonomae by Metis.

After doing all this.

Metis staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"I have transferred the knowledge and secrets I obtained from Cassius' soul into these two blood crystals. As long as you put these two blood crystals between your eyebrows and activate the forbidden knowledge contained in them, the knowledge and secrets in the blood crystals will flow into your minds."

"However, the forbidden knowledge about the evil god does not exist in the world. Even if I use my own blood to temporarily block the leakage of that knowledge, it can only be hidden for three minutes. After three minutes, part of the forbidden knowledge in the blood crystal will be erased by heaven and earth."

"As for whether to read the knowledge in this blood crystal, it depends on you."

After saying that, Metis cut a piece of cloth from her body and tied it on the wrist that was a little white due to blood loss.

I don't know if it's because of Metis's special physique, or if the [Strong Healing Potion] she drank just now is still working.

The wound that Metis cut on her wrist was obviously very deep, and even almost cut off the blood vessels in her wrist, but only a few seconds had passed.

The wound on Metis's wrist began to scab and heal.

Aylin estimated that even if Metis didn't tie her wrist with a cloth strip, the wound on her wrist would heal completely within a few minutes.

However, looking at Metis who was bandaging her wound, Aylin didn't say much.

Instead, he turned his head and looked at the blood crystal in front of him.

After he stretched out his hand and slightly lifted the blood crystal into the space ring, Aylin didn't absorb the blood crystal in his hand immediately.

Regarding the evil god and the so-called taboo knowledge, Aylin didn't intend to absorb the knowledge in the blood crystal so recklessly.

Even if the impression of Metis on him changed slightly.

After walking to a corner, Aylin directly took out a set of divination tools, closed his eyes and began to divination in front of Metis and Tamamonomae.

With the deterrence of the demon contract that had just been signed, at least on the surface, Aylin didn't have to worry too much that Tamamonomae and Metis would take advantage of this time to attack him.

So, Aylin simply took the opportunity to do divination.

Of course

Divination from the outside world is just a means of deceiving others.

The real Ailin took the blood crystal into the balance space, and with the help of the status of the balance space, he began to do real divination.

A few dozen seconds later.

Ailin got the exact answer from the balance space.

After opening his eyes again.

Without hesitation, he took out the blood crystal and stuck it to his forehead, then used his mental power to activate the blood crystal, and brought all the knowledge sealed in it by Metis into his mind.

·········

Not far away.

Tamamonomae, who let Ailin do what he wanted, looked at the set of divination tools in Ailin's hand, and her eyes full of charm narrowed slightly.

Just now, she seemed to feel a trace of the power in the dark being activated by Ailin, and then fell on the set of divination tools in front of Ailin.

"Witchcraft? Interesting."

While playing with the blood-colored crystal in his hand, he observed the changes in Ailin's body after absorbing the blood-colored crystal.

Until the three-minute time limit was approaching, Tamamonomae, who still did not see any obvious changes in Ailin, carefully put the blood-colored crystal on his forehead.

········

A few minutes later.

In this upside-down world, a space fluctuation suddenly came.

Then a circle that kept emitting golden red sparks suddenly became larger and larger in the upside-down world.

Almost at the moment when the golden red circle appeared, Ailin and Tamamonomae, who had their eyes closed, opened their eyes at the same time.

Looking at the almost iconic golden red portal, Tamamonomae covered her mouth and chuckled, "The troublemaker is here. It seems that this time I have no chance to communicate with the young master."

After taking a deep look at Ailin with those soul-stirring eyes, the nine fox tails behind Tamamonomae swayed gently, and soon, a thick mist slowly rose behind her.

"I hope that next time, I can have a good exchange with you."

As the voice fell, Tamamonomae's figure became illusory in the rising mist.

It seemed that with the help of some secret technique, he left this space directly.

Ailin shook his head lightly when he heard it: "Next time? We will be enemies next time we meet."

Just then.

The king and the other two temple mages also stepped into this upside-down world from the other end of the portal.

As soon as they stepped into this upside-down world, they turned their heads and saw the beautiful figure slowly disappearing in the mist, and the nine fox tails swaying behind her.

Almost instantly, the king and the other two temple mages with Eastern faces changed their faces, and then took a guarded posture.

"Nine-tailed fox."

As the Supreme Temple guarding the dark side of the world, the Supreme Mage lineage has dealt with Tamamonomae more than once.

It is precisely because of this that they understand the horror of this demon more.

Therefore, the moment they saw Tamamonomae, they were on alert as if they were facing a great enemy.

But within a few seconds.

Tamamonomae, swallowed by the mist, completely disappeared in front of them.

After watching Tamamonomae disappear for a long time, the king and the other two temple mages were still watching the surroundings vigilantly. Erin, who had seen Tamamonomae's terrible illusion, certainly understood what they were worried about.

However, Erin, who had already scanned the surroundings with his spiritual vision and confirmed it again with divination, knew very well that the terrible woman had left.

"Okay, stop looking, that guy is gone."
