Chapter 1599: Seal and Awaken
Su Xiao looked around. This device was somewhat similar to a teleportation device, the only difference being that the patterns applied were slightly different.
Right now, it was surrounded by metal circles that formed one single circle, and electric arcs were sweeping between these metal circles.
Each metal circle was engraved with certain patterns. As Su Xiao decided to look at the two of them, he suddenly felt the scene in front of his eyes begin to blur.
*Boom!*
There was a muffled rumble in his ears, and then a hammer hit his chest. Sword Demon energy burst out from its Devouring Core. Although this energy didn't have a consciousness of its own, it could sense danger.
Su Xiao pressed his hand to his chest. For the first time, he felt the Sword Demon's energy become so violent. However... all these attempts were futile. This energy was just rushing through his body right now, trying to do some damage.
After confirming that there were no problems with the device, Su Xiao started to take out various crystals from the inventory.
Soon, he placed exactly 1,000 grams of consciousness-conducting crystals in a special compartment.
The electric arcs surrounding him immediately disappeared and were replaced by finger-thick blue rays, and all of these rays converged at one single point.
After pulling Dragon Flash out of its scabbard, Su Xiao inserted his sword into the special slot. Although the gap was a bit wide for his sword, it didn't really matter.
After that, he took a few steps and stood under the converging blue rays. Marvin gave him a detailed description of how the device worked. These rays will cause the Sword Demon energy to come out of his body and enter the Dragon Flash. Not all Shadows of the Law tried to go through something like this, not because they didn't dare, but because they couldn't. The most important condition for a successful outcome was the presence of strong Qing Gang Yin energy, it had to surpass the energy of the Sword Demon.
As the hundreds of blue rays converged on Su Xiao, he felt dizzy.
Marvin also told him that if he lost consciousness, he would become a Sword Demon.
*Crackle!*
Su Xiao's eyes suddenly started to bleed from all the cracks, and her eyes turned blood-red.
----
In the Void, at the bottom of the Black Abyss.
In the middle of the sea of flowers, under a tall black maple tree, a pair of equally blood-red eyes suddenly opened.
— A new... is born.
Standing up, the figure froze for a moment before sitting back down under the tree.
— He... failed.
----
*Boom!*
Su Xiao's head seemed to be filled with endless thunderclaps, and his bloodshot eyes lost their luster for a moment.
In just a moment, he turned into a Sword Demon. He felt... so free and strong, but it wasn't a pleasant experience.
At that moment, his consciousness seemed to be trapped in a cage. Although he could feel his body, he couldn't control it. This only made him more determined to remove this energy from his body. He couldn't leave a time bomb in his body. Once he sealed the Sword Demon energy, he would be able to use the Devouring Core without any problems. Moreover, the Dragon Flash will also fully awaken.
He had to succeed.
The blue rays of light grew more powerful and soon sank into his body. The Qing Gang Yin energy in his body was dissolving before his eyes, and once it was gone, the Sword Demon energy would win. If the Sword Demon energy left his body before then, Su Xiao would emerge victorious from this fight.
Clenching his right hand, he created threads of Qing Gang Yin energy.
These threads immediately sank into his body and connected with the blue rays.
Clenching his right hand in front of his chest, he slowly began to pull something out of his body.
*F-f-f-f-f~*
The device around him began to work at full speed, and ripples began to spread across the space.
Amu, who was standing near the device, took a few steps away from it, then fell down and stopped moving.
*Crack-crack-crack...*
Small cracks began to appear on the ice.
With each passing second, the feeling that this huge iceberg was about to break apart only grew stronger, and with each passing second, Su Xiao's face became more and more distorted with pain. He felt as if his muscles and bones were slowly being pulverized. Marvin, that scumbag, didn't mention that it would be such a painful process.
When he extended his hand a few centimeters away from his chest, the blue rays concentrated around his chest and began to suppress the ball of black and blue energy.
The Sword Demon's energy came out.
— We finally met.
The veins bulged on Su Xiao's neck, and just as he was about to pull the Sword Demon energy out of his body with a jerk, he felt a surge of powerlessness and that energy immediately rushed back into his chest.
— After taking a few deep breaths, he looked at his mana. He still had 5,490 mana points, which meant that he still had time. He shouldn't have tried to pull this lump out in a single tug, he should have pulled it out gradually, draining that very energy as well.
After taking a deep breath, he started pulling the ball out of his chest again.
Amu, who had been lying on the ice until now, woke up.
As soon as he woke up, he immediately rolled to the side and started moving very quickly as far away from Su Xiao as possible. Earlier, he had fainted from the pain, the pain was so intense that for a moment it felt as if his skull had been cut open and his brain was being disturbed by a hammer.
Once outside, Amu decided to guard the passage inside the cave.
As soon as he sat down on the ice, his stomach growled.
Looking into the guild's storage, he saw that there was no food left in it at all.
Sneaking a glance inside, he saw glowing icicles, then shifted his gaze to the large crystal and found it ... surprisingly delicious to look at.
In the cave, Su Xiao slowly stretched out his hand from his chest.
The veins on his body bulged with tension.
Five minutes later, he was sweating profusely. He felt as if he had been fighting Maurice, Mo Nora, and the Uncrowned Lord for several days at the same time.
Looking at his mana pool, he saw that he still had 3,100 mana left.
After seeing such reserves, Su Xiao knew that he had won. If in the beginning, the Sword Demon's energy was like a tiger, now it was at most like a wildcat.
Taking a deep breath, he began to extend his arm forward.
This process didn't depend on one's strength at all, it only depended on the quality and amount of Qing Gang Yin's energy.
*Sh-sh-sh-sh~*
Amu shuddered as he stood in front of the purple crystal.
Earlier, he carefully licked it and shivered with pleasure.
It was so damn delicious!..
Su Xiao clenched his fist and after taking a few deep breaths, he began to stretch out his arm with all his might.
*Crackle!*
Something in his body seemed to be torn apart, and along with it, he felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
The blue rays immediately pointed at Su Xiao's hand. A ball of dark blue energy continuously spun on his palm. Ever since he received the Devouring Core, the Sword Demon energy had also appeared.
Su Xiao took the first step towards the Dragon Flash, and it was this one step that took away most of his strength and almost made him fall to the floor.
The Sword Demon's energy was extracted from the body, and all that remained was to awaken the sword.
Walking up to the Dragon Flash, he pressed the ball of energy to the hilt of his sword.
The entire Dragon Flash was immediately shrouded in black and blue smoke.
With his left hand touching the nearest metal ring, Su Xiao set Qing Gang Yin's energy into motion.
*Click-click...*
The device has entered the final stage of operation.
The blue rays turned black and began to shine into the handle of the Dragon Flash.
Now all he had to do was wait.
After sitting on the floor, Su Xiao turned his gaze to the side and saw Amu holding a purple crystal in his hand and licking it like it was a lollipop.
