Chapter 58

Smick revealed himself. The basic usage of the [School of Light] was to hide his body to the point of optical invisibility.

And the final secret technique of the [School of Light], [Flowing Light Blade], was to infinitely align one's own rhythm with light. In an instant, one's original perception would be lost, one would turn into light and follow the direction chosen before activating the [School of Light], arriving together with the light and stabbing forward.

This state of being infinitely aligned with light could only be maintained for an instant, otherwise, one's body would collapse. Of course, as long as the direction chosen in advance was correct, this attack was almost impossible to avoid.

With Chris using the [School of Firewood] to restrain him, Smick's attack naturally didn't miss. The outer layer of germs didn't provide any protection, and the curved sword accurately struck the pitch-black mass of flesh inside.

The thing inside flowed out along the scimitar and splashed on his hand. It was golden blood. The blood was like a rare treasure, and Smick's attention was instantly focused on it.

Under the effect of the golden blood, the curved sword seemed to have gained a life of its own, giving off a special feeling when he held it in his hand, as if anyone in front of him could be easily killed by this sword.

Chris collapsed to the ground, aged several dozen years in an instant, his life reaching its end. He didn't even have the strength to move his head, death had arrived.

A small amount of Life Force emerged from the corpse. [Legacy of Eternal Flame] wasn't without a price, Chris's remnant soul also came out. Years of adventuring had made his Spirit far surpass that of ordinary people, so even though he was now a remnant soul, he still maintained a bit of rationality.

A strange suction force appeared on Chris's remnant soul.

"Is this the Divine Kingdom?" Chris thought in confusion. His remnant soul passed through the pile of bones, flew into the distance, and finally fell into the hands of a certain person.

A joyful smile appeared on Noah's face: "The leader of these Ghostmen has been found"

The next moment, Chris felt a large number of emotions pouring into his remnant soul. These emotions were constantly attacking his remnant soul, most of them were negative, such as hatred, unwillingness, despair, as well as a deep fear and obedience towards that person.

"Negri!!" Chris cried out in despair. After a long time, he only managed to utter two words, "... My Lord!"

Noah looked at Chris, who had completely surrendered, and recalled his conversation with Lord Negri.

"Did you know, Noah?" At the time, Negri was not in his viral body, or rather, he was not in his viral body in the first place. He floated above the tree and looked at the bones that littered the ground. "Humans are interesting creatures."

"Once they form a fixed way of thinking about something, it's very difficult for them to get out of this or that strange thinking circle." Negri said slowly, "They will turn a blind eye to some things and only believe in what they believe."

"I've fallen into this strange circle before, but how could I be limited to a mere human form" Negri smiled and said, "When I'm not limited, I am one, and also ten thousand."

This world was not like the other worlds. A world with a 'bad luck' attribute would not have the protagonist and the others come to him. The Demon King happened to be one step away from completing his final evolution, so Negri would not foolishly wait for others to come to him. In fact, before Chris and the others entered the forbidden area, Negri had already completed his evolution.

His soul could be said to be composed of many parts of people, but all of this was his own choice. Since that was the case, why would he be limited to a single soul, or a single human form?

This was the true function of the Soul's Blood. The Dragon's Blood had three functions: strengthening the host's physique, carrying the inherited information and Dragon's Might, as well as an inseparable connection.

The Soul's Blood also replicated these three functions. It modified the host's body, made it stronger, carried Negri, and interconnected.

Noah was implanted with the Soul's Blood, so Negri became his other side through the Soul's Blood. This was why Noah said that he and Lord Negri had become one, and this relationship would continue as the bloodline passed on.

If Noah had children, then his children would be born with the Soul's Blood. As his children grew, their true spirits would continue to give birth to souls, and the Soul's Blood would also awaken, infecting the new soul virus called Negri. Even if they weren't completely infected by Negri, they would still form a sub-personality called Negri, hidden in the bloodline.

In short, Negri had turned from a soul into a type of soul virus that took root in the bloodline. The more people he infected, the larger he became.

As for the Negri that Chris and Smick killed, he was indeed a part of Negri. He absorbed the emotions of various people, but there were still too few people who would willingly become sacrifices.

Most of the people he absorbed had been fighting before they died, so even though Negri had carefully screened their emotions, he still couldn't help but absorb a lot of fighting intent, which made him want to fight.

So he combined a part of his fighting intent with the emotions that he didn't want and hid a part of the Soul's Blood inside his viral body. Speaking of which, Negri had to thank Chris and the others for helping him get rid of the parts he didn't need, as well as helping him spread the Soul's Blood.

"Cadiz Moreg, Connor Kenway" Noah, or rather, Negri, softly said.

The pile of bones started to tremble as a 4-5 meter tall fatty stood up from the pile of bones. On his shoulder was a man with a spear on his back. Both of them were wearing pitch-black armor and helmets, so their faces couldn't be seen. They knelt in front of Negri and passionately said: "The Ghostmen greet Lord Negri!"

"It's time for you to show yourselves. Clear the area, don't use your full strength, let them run if they can" After Negri gave his orders, his transcendent aura slowly changed, and the perfect Righteous Noah reappeared.

A pitch-black spear flew over from afar and nailed one of the skulls. The Ghostman with the spear on his back leapt down from the fat man's shoulder and arrived in front of everyone. The Ghostman took off his mask and revealed a face filled with evil intent.

As for Jason, as soon as he saw this face, his emotions immediately went berserk: "Cadiz Moreg!!!"

"Ahaha, Jason Todd, your little sister isn't bad at all" the Ghostman laughed.

Just this sentence alone caused Jason to go berserk. He madly rushed towards the Ghostman Cadiz, but halfway there, he was struck by an unbelievably fast skull. The skull was directly crushed into powder, and Jason's body was sent flying backwards, only to be caught by Smick.
