Chapter 499: Mona's Determination, Elimination, Transformation, Witch |
"Leader, you're looking for me?"
Mona was in the middle of arranging the venue for placing the 【Altar of Life】.
She had suddenly received a message sent by Yu Yuan.
Now, looking at the unusually solemn Yu Yuan, Mona was a bit surprised.
"What happened?"
"Have you found the room for the 【Altar of Life】?"
"It's already confirmed. Qingqing is leading people to clean it up. It'll be done soon..." Upon hearing this, Mona immediately said.
But she noticed that Yu Yuan's expression seemed even more serious than before.
"What about the Bloodline Tracing Ritual?"
"Good, good, good... that's great!"
Mona looked at the strange Yu Yuan.
She seemed to realize something, her brow slightly raised.
Suddenly, she asked:
"Leader, have you ever had a girlfriend?"
"Huh?"
Yu Yuan was momentarily stunned, looking at Mona in bewilderment, finding that her gaze seemed capable of piercing through his thoughts, straight to his heart.
"No. Why?"
A hint of a smile curved at the corner of Mona's mouth.
"Then, leader, did you know that the way you look right now is exactly like those boys who want to do something bad but are too embarrassed to say it? Just like... when we first met... back then."
Yu Yuan narrowed his eyes.
Of course, he remembered the way they had first met.
That time, he had also been trying to complete the mission from the 【Indulgence Card】, targeting Mona.
Only, after seeing what Mona had gone through, he gave up.
To be honest, that decision in the basement back then.
It had an extremely huge and crucial impact on his worldview and values, including all of his subsequent development.
He thought he had hidden it well at the time, but he never expected Mona had seen through it all along.
The next moment, Yu Yuan let out a long breath. The nerves that had been tense since just now finally relaxed.
He lightly tapped his forehead and shook his head slightly.
"Heh... so you saw through it long ago. I should have known."
"So..." Mona smiled warmly.
"I need your help... Of course, you can refuse."
Before Yu Yuan could even finish his sentence, Mona had already spoken.
"I'm willing!"
The look in Mona's eyes as she gazed at Yu Yuan gradually shifted from restraint to burning passion and wild fervor.
"That day, you not only killed those bastards and saved me, but you also left me two precious packs of food and a weapon."
A scene of that silhouette flashed through Mona's mind.
Crystal clear.
Because that silhouette was the motivation that kept her going through her nightmares.
Meeting Yu Yuan's somewhat surprised gaze, she said calmly:
"From that moment on, I swore that as long as you needed it, I could do anything. Even if it meant going against everyone."
Mona's voice was very calm, but the impact it had on Yu Yuan was incredibly powerful.
At this moment, Yu Yuan instead felt a bit of hesitation.
He didn't know how to respond to Mona's fervent feelings.
Seeming to detect the hesitation in Yu Yuan's eyes, Mona's eyes curved.
"Although he's been through countless killings and treats his enemies with ruthless cruelty, his core hasn't changed at all, has it?"
Her lips twitched slightly, letting out a soft laugh.
"Or is it that you think I'm not as good as... Qingqing?"
Mona removed the black veil covering her face, revealing her eyes full of story.
It made her aura feel mysterious, and at first glance, one felt a deep urge to explore.
That was a charm unique to a mature woman, like a perfectly ripe peach.
Fresh and alluring.
Yu Yuan looked at Mona, her eyes seductive and her expression teasing. He had to admit, he was a bit distracted.
Mona herself had an excellent aura and appearance.
Especially the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye; it was the finishing touch, enhancing her charm by at least three degrees.
Yu Yuan was silent for two seconds, then stood up and walked toward the door.
Just as Mona was bewildered, the door opened. But outside wasn't the familiar hallway, but the lobby of the motel...
Yu Yuan turned his head to look at Mona and shrugged.
"Then, come on in!"
Receiving Yu Yuan's invitation, Mona smiled beautifully and walked inside.
-
Inside the Motel Main Guest Room.
In Yu Yuan's mind, the stirring music of the Fate Cards sounded again, the drumbeats overlapping with his heartbeat.
As the drumbeats grew faster and faster, Yu Yuan's heartbeat became quicker.
Finally...
At the very peak of the drumbeat's rhythm.
"Crack—"
The crisp sound of a card snapping rang out in Yu Yuan's mind.
Yu Yuan's mind went blank, and the eerie woman's soft laughter echoed in his ears again.
After a brief moment, Yu Yuan opened his eyes, calming his breathing.
【Fate Card — Bronze-tier Indulgence Card eliminated successfully. Fate Points +2, Debauchery target Passion +2】
【Detected Debauchery target has conversion value. Convert? Requires 2 Fate Points.】
"Mona can be converted..."
A trace of hesitation arose in Yu Yuan.
After all, during the two previous conversions, both Mie Mie and Zhi Zhi had undergone drastic image changes.
He was worried that Mona might also turn into some strange creature.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Yuan handed the right to choose over to Mona.
"I'm willing!"
Although she wasn't clear what this so-called "conversion" was, Mona said without a hint of hesitation.
Looking at the determined Mona, Yu Yuan gave a slight nod.
He hesitated no longer.
—【Convert】
The very next moment after Yu Yuan made his choice.
Mona was shrouded in darkness.
Yu Yuan was directly flung away by this dark force.
A sharp pain shot through his abdomen.
It was the kind of pain one felt when things went very wrong in a certain area. Even though Yu Yuan was already a Bronze-tier Lifeform, he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
But he didn't have time to care about that. One hand propped him up on the ground, the other clutching his groin.
His gaze was fixed on Mona, enveloped by darkness.
Mona was wrapped in a dark light cocoon.
On the light cocoon, streaks of deep purple light also emerged, floating in midair.
Yu Yuan could vaguely see that Mona was now curled up with her arms around her knees.
The deep purple light was transforming Mona's body.
This transformation was quite complex.
The process lasted nearly forty minutes. Just as Yu Yuan was wondering what changes Mona would undergo.
Hum—
A faint humming sound echoed in the room.
Yu Yuan looked at the light cocoon, only to see it pop with a sound.
Just like a balloon, it shattered.
【Fate Points -2. Debauchery target gains Talent — Dark High Priestess】
The darkness vanished, revealing Mona still curled up inside.
At this moment, Mona had already changed greatly from before.
Earlier, because both of them were at the Bronze Rank, their physical abilities far surpassed ordinary people.
They had already fought fiercely for two hours.
Yu Yuan was very familiar with Mona.
But now, several deep purple patterns had appeared on Mona's fair skin, extending from her limbs to her chest and heart.
Her hair had also turned a deep purple, long hair reaching her waist. She was at least 1.8 meters tall.
She gave off a mysterious and dangerous aura.
"Mmm..."
With a soft moan.
Mona lifted her lowered head, looking at Yu Yuan. A faint light gleamed in her deep purple pupils.
Like a... witch who had just awakened.
