Chapter 97

I can't go on like this anymore. Nala silently thought. The sense of oppression from the Black Abyss was becoming clearer and clearer, and it was already very close to this world. If she couldn't continue the flames any longer, this world wouldn't be able to hold on any longer.

Against these three people, Nala could barely deal with all three of them by herself, but it was basically impossible for her to win against them.

Myerson's direct combat strength wasn't much weaker than hers, so it wasn't easy to defeat him in the first place, not to mention that there was also Ellis who could interfere through the illusions. Furthermore, although Connor didn't attack much, she had to dodge every single one of his attacks because the slightest negligence would lead to defeat.

All of a sudden, Nala's expression changed. Her beautiful golden hair began to wither, spots began to appear on her skin, and a sense of dizziness struck her. Nala propped herself up with her sword, half leaning on it as she stared at Myerson with a complicated gaze.

At this time, Myerson was suffering from the same disease, but it was even more severe than Nala's.

The reason why he betrayed the Church of Divine Grace and submitted to Negri was because of this disease that plagued the world. And after implanting Chris's secondary soul, he also obtained the ability he desired.

[Disease Synchronization], the effect of which was to resonate with the infected person through his ability, causing the same disease to appear on his body, which would then produce a vaccine to treat the disease in his body. At the same time, this vaccine would also be able to gradually spread and blend into the environment, which meant that every time a vaccine was produced, there would be one less disease in this world.

Although Myerson had been the captain of the Ghostmen for the past few years, he didn't spend much time leading them. He often traveled across the continent, constantly using his ability to synchronize diseases and spread the vaccine bacteria.

Perhaps, among everyone here, the one who had saved the most people was Myerson. Over a hundred diseases had been recorded in his body, and when he needed to fight, he could use [Reverse Synchronization] to spread the symptoms of the diseases he had recorded to those who were synchronized with him.

And the price he had to pay for using this ability was that, whether it was to directly read diseases or reverse infect diseases, every time he used it, the diseases recorded in his body would erupt.

Because Nala had the bloodline of a dragon, her immunity was very strong. However, she was not immune to hundreds of diseases. Moreover, the effect of this ability was only to harmonize diseases, so she could not use [Respiratory Art] to expel the germs out of her body because there were no actual germs in her body.

Previously, Eldridge had given them a lot of information on Negri and his men. Nala looked at Myerson, who was sicker than her, and combined the information, she instantly understood Myerson's ability.

Suddenly, he couldn't understand Myerson at all.

Betraying her companions, working for the evil Negri, imprisoning the soul of her mentor Chris in her body, blaspheming the dead, these were all unforgivable things.

However, in order to cure the disease, he allowed himself to be infected with the same disease, and every time he activated Synchronization, the disease would act up. He had accumulated over a hundred diseases, which meant that he had suffered the pain of the disease breaking out over a hundred times.

But no matter what, Nala needed to defeat him. She was indeed walking on the right path, there was no need for her to be lost.

Enduring the pain of the various diseases, Nala's [Dragon's Pressure] madly flooded her surroundings. Nala was constantly breathing at a unique frequency through her nose and mouth, the combination of these two caused the people around her to feel a great sense of fear descend upon their hearts.

At that moment, everything in the world seemed to be under Nala's control. She seemed to have turned into a God, controlling the life and death of everyone around her.

Without hesitation, Nala swung her sword. She clearly didn't hit anyone, but a scorch mark suddenly appeared on Myerson's body and split in half. The same was true for the masked Ellis. Her body was split in half from the middle, the cross-section giving off a burning smell. Even the large iron ball that Connor swung behind her was cut in half in an instant.

The smooth surface of the iron ball had traces of being burnt, a clear indication of just how sharp that sword strike was.

As her [Dragon's Pressure] gradually faded, Nala breathed heavily and aimed her sword at Connor, the only survivor of the three Ghostmen.

Myerson had fallen to the side. His undying body of the Undead was of no use at all. He could feel his life slipping away from him. This feeling was the same as when he was lying in the slums over 20 years ago, suffering from an illness and waiting for death.

Augustin's face appeared in front of his eyes, it was he who saved him when he was waiting for death in the slums.

A person like him should have already gone to the blissful heavens, while a person like me should have fallen into an endless hell. Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to apologize to him, but I don't regret what I did.

With Myerson's death, his ability gradually dissipated. Nala's disease also gradually subsided, her gaze remained as sharp as ever, unwavering. As long as she could defeat these people, she would be able to open the gate and enter the first flame camp.

"[Dragon's Pressure] combined with [Respiratory Art], instantly taking control of all the rhythms within the range of [Dragon's Pressure], then completely severing them" Noah smiled and said, having seen through the principle of Nala's attack just now, it could be said that as long as it was something that belonged to this world, Nala's sword strike would be able to kill it.

This required investigating the origin of [Respiratory Art]. The essence of [Respiratory Art] was to sense the rhythm of all living things in this world and make one's body conform to it. And wasn't this world created by flames?

Because of that, the essence of the rhythm of all living things in this world was the beating frequency of the first flame. As one of the three Gods that came out from the first flame, the dragon race that Archaeosaurus had created naturally had the authority of this world, using [Dragon's Pressure] to make all living things in this world conform to themselves, which was why dragons were born with the ability to breathe [Dragon's Breath].

Then when Nala, who combined [Dragon's Pressure] and [Respiratory Art], took full control of the world's rhythm, she would be able to destroy everything brought about by the flames in this world and destroy the rhythm. At that time, even an undying body would still die.

"[Respiratory Art] was probably a method that the Giants invented to continue the flame, and the reason they restricted [Respiratory Art] to humans was to prevent this power from being obtained by the Black Abyss" through this phenomenon, Noah discovered the essence of [Respiratory Art].

Then he recalled the information he obtained from investigating the Cauchy Spirit Shaman over the past few years.

Although the Cauchy people claimed to be a race created from the spirit of the Progenitor of all living things, through his constant investigation, he found out the truth. Rather than saying that the Cauchy people were the descendants of the Giants, it would be more accurate to say that they were a race born from the hybridization of humans and Gods.

Through the memories of the Last God, Negri found that most of the Divine Names that the Spirit Shaman called out were the names of the Divine race from the Age of Old, including the name Negri, which was the name of a Divine race from the Age of Old.

However, during the era of the First Empire, the New Deity fled with the Divine race. To cover up this disgraceful fact, after the Cauchy people established their empire, they destroyed a large amount of information regarding the Divine race and altered the creation myth, elevating the Giants as the Progenitor of all living things and claiming to be the manifestation of their spirit.
