Chapter 369: Chapter 0369: Substitution (4600 added, request for monthly pass)

Beryl’s ‘soul’ is very strong!

Simply judging by her Spiritual Body, she may not be inferior to an ordinary third-order Evil Spirit!

This is actually quite rare as she is not a professional following the Spiritual Body path.

Originally, her soul would have appeared like an average ghost, translucent and colorless.

But in the eyes of Su Lu, the [Wandering Mage], Beryl’s soul is filled with an array of colors!

The inky black color indicates the skill of the ‘Undead’ that she masters.

And the green color is the unique vitality of the [Undead].

Finally, lighting up between these two colors is the glow of silver moonlight, which makes Su Lu feel threatened.

It represents the attention of the Moon!

“I command you!”

Su Lu uses Ancient Hebrew to leverage the mysterious power: “Obey me! Only obey me!”

A pentagram array emerges on the forehead of Beryl’s Spiritual Body.

This represents her original source—the pact of the Creation of Dead Princess with Su Lu!

As soon as this emblem emerges, it is immediately resisted by the moonlight. Even the emotionless spiritual body emits waves of instability.

Seeing this, Su Lu’s pupils suddenly shrink, and he switches to Language of Arrogance.

His voice suddenly rises, like countless people screaming and the whispers of some insane existence:

“In the name of Arrogance… I grant you strength!”

Su Lu picks up a small silver knife and carves the Arrogant Rune representing ‘severance’ and ‘split’ into the handle.

“You will sever connections and give new meaning to the Spiritual Body!”

Su Lu continues speaking in the Language of Arrogance, directing the small knife towards Beryl’s Spiritual Body.

Mysterious Knowledge: The attention of great beings cannot be completely banished; it can only be replaced by entities of equal rank!

If he wants to completely banish Lady Moon’s mark, it is impossible unless Su Lu becomes a god!

Hence, his only option is to replace the attention of Lady Moon with another entity.

Shewinado, who had already fallen, is undoubtedly the best choice!

Despite being dissipated, the essence of this god is no different from Lady Moon’s.

Moreover, with Su Lu supporting it, this approach has a high feasibility rate.

This is the only means he could think of to ‘save’ Beryl.

If it still doesn’t work, he will have to ‘destroy’ Beryl to prevent her from turning into an indissoluble horror later on.

As for the problem with Shewinado?

Su Lu had made countless attempts in the Dragon world and felt that this god would not wake up for a while.

Moreover, though a fallen god can also resurrect, it would certainly make a huge ripple, giving him enough time to deal with Beryl.

Chi!

Su Lu took a deep breath and cut down the glowing moonlight with one stroke.

The plethora of colors froze for a moment, as that strand of moonlight ‘came alive’ turning into a small snake. From its body, threads extended, desperately attaching to the Spiritual Body.

“Sever!”

Su Lu immediately utters the Language of Arrogance.

At the level of Legendary Professional Rank, terrifying strength immediately descends upon the Spiritual Body.

He faintly seemed to hear a woman scream.

At the same time, the moonlight was stripped from the Spiritual Body, giving off terrifying waves.

“If Shewinado still exists it should carry the burden, but now, only I can carry it.”

Su Lu, fully prepared, draws the Black Knight card: “Spirit Possession!”

Roar!

His body burned with pitch-black flames, and a large saber for cutting horses manifested in his hand, mysterious symbols flickering successively over it.

“Cut!”

As the blade flashed, the pitch-black flames twirled in the moonlight.

Boom!

Su Lu’s whole body shuddered as if he had seen a moon and a graceful, beautiful figure.

Its face was hazy, yet a swift swing of its delicate white jade hand commanded an awful power, giving birth to vibrant, circular illumination.

This was the power of the arcane!

Puff!

A dull sound echoed.

Su Lu took several steps back, as the flames of the Black Knight completely withdrew: “Impressive…it appears Lady Moon has obtained the essence of the arcane by assaulting the Inner Circle of the Green Tree Castle and slaying the Arcane Spirit last time…”

The moon naturally suited magical and arcane energies alike.

And Lady Moon was clearly capitalizing on this to enter the field of the arcane!

This was the intelligence Su Lu gained from his luminous engagement with such existences!

He stood his ground, gazing around to find the moonlight completely extinguished.

“After all, it can’t even stand up to the shadow of the divine… I specially prepared a sealing ceremony to avoid Lady Moon’s attention here, she can’t possibly descend…”

Su Lu looked at Bicui’s spirit again.

After the moonlight was stripped away, bizarre, black runes had appeared where the spirit had originally been.

Composed of the Language of Arrogance, these runes were linked to other colors like an eight-legged spider.

On her spiritual forehead, the pentagram’s glow suddenly intensified.

“I declare… the ritual is over.”

Feeling more than half of his inspiration depleted, Su Lu took a breath and stopped the ceremony.

Bicui’s spirit swiftly returned to her original body.

Soon after, the girl stood up, her face expressionless.

“Has her sanity completely vanished? Has she returned to her original blank state?”

Su Lu mused, “After a period of learning, she should be able to generate another personality, my servant!”

He was quite satisfied with this arrangement.

As for the ‘contamination’ left by Shewinado, that was a problem for which he currently had no solution.

“You will become a suitable maid, now… show me!”

The darkness in Su Lu’s eyes deepened: “Spirit contact!”

Lower-order [Spirit Mediums] needed spirit possession to answer some questions.

However, at the legendary level, this ability naturally improved, and he no longer needed to do such dangerous things.

Su Lu’s inspiration extended directly into Bicui’s mind.

The girl showed no resistance, allowing everything to lay bare before Su Lu.

The scenes of memory after becoming the [Corpse Princess], flashing past him like slideshow, allowed Su Lu to learn many secrets of the Black Death Society in this world.

“As expected… the Black Death Society participated in the attack on the Inner Circle to destroy the Arcane Spirit and to revive Lady Moon…”

“Revive… that’s a well-chosen word. It seems Lady Moon, unlike Shewinado, didn’t fall, but her main body appears to be in a precarious state somehow? Is it a severe injury or a seal?”

Su Lu appeared thoughtful, his gaze shifting to the most valuable portion— the [Undead] professional path!

The first level [Corpse Princess], who can also be other undead creatures… Second level [Banshee], agile with various enhancements and skilled in allure… Third level [Wizard Lich], awakening various types of magical abilities, able to effortlessly learn necromantic spells… Fourth level [Undead], escaping from death to life, eliminating the weaknesses of the undead!

The last of these was the fifth level’s [King of the Undead]!
