Chapter 1559  Artrus Scheme 2

The first thing he did with Avynʼs Ethereal Frost was to discharge the frost aura. He spread out the frost and froze the flame around, including his own dark fire. They were frozen, but the flame was still burning inside the ice. It was as if the fire and the ice coexisted instead of clashing.

Tang Shaoyang without a second thought, froze his body. That was right, he froze his body, thinking it would reduce the pain. With his position when he froze his body, he fell to the back. Of course, the fall was not enough to break the ice. He capsuled himself in the cold.

Did Ethereal Frost help him to reduce the pain? The answer was no. Just like the fire around him, the fire inside was still burning him from the inside. His plan did not work. Since he was inside the ice, he no longer writhed like before. He felt cold outside, at the same time, he felt searing pain and hot inside.

Tang Shaoyang was awake inside the ice. He could break the ice and run amok like before. That was a good distraction, but he decided to stay inside the ice. Despite the cold, his body was still in flames.

He did not know how long since it started, but he felt like it had been hours, enduring the pain. Then he noticed through Chaos Eyes, the flame was burning his toe. Slowly surely, he lost all his toes, and the fire continued to eat part of his body.

For some reason, he was relieved because he could no longer feel the pain in his toes, ankles, and knees. His pain was lessened as he lost those parts.

”Bahahahaha….” All of a sudden, Tang Shaoyang heard a burst of laughter inside his head. It was Artrusʼ voice, laughing merrily, ”I finally succeeded! I will finally leave this cursed place.”

”You have to be proud and happy, Human! You have to be proud that a noble being like me is willing to use your body, Human!”

Tang Shaoyang did not respond to him, but of course, he was angry. However, he knew it would be useless to vent his anger in words. It would not be enough with just words. He ignored the lion, watching his body burn. Half of his body was missing, but he was still alive. There was no blood because inside his body was also the same fire.

”Donʼt be mad at yourself, human. If a reincarnation exists, you have to be careful even to your own power in the next life, human! This is a great lesson from this King!”

The flame reached his chest and revealed his heart. That was right, he saw his own heart, enveloped by Artrusʼ flame. It was so weird seeing his own heart, pulsating. He even heard his heart beat even clearer than usual. And of course, the weirdest thing was that he maintained his consciousness. He was still alive even though he was just left with his heart and head.

It did not take long for the fire to reach his mouth, but he still could see his heart. His heart was still beating, but it was just his heart. Then the flame reached his eyes, and he lost his vision. Everything around turned dark.

Just as he thought he would revive with his [Seven Souls], but he did not. This was so weird, he felt like he was a mind without a body. He could not feel anything, no longer felt any pain, but he knew he was still alive. This was so weird even for him.

”Wait! What is this?”

He still could hear Artrusʼ voice.

”This is not the plan! Cancel! Cancel the skill, Human! Cancel the integration right now!”

 The lion panicked over something. Of course, he would not listen to the lion. Even if he could cancel the skill, he would not do it.

”Nooooo… You canʼt consume this King, Human! CANCEL YOUR SKILL RIGHT NOW! DO IT RIGHT NOW OR I WILL BURN YOUR HEART! I WILL KILL YOU FOR REAL THIS TIME!”

Tang Shaoyang did not know what Artrus was experiencing right now. With his still arrogant tone, Artrus commanded him instead of begging him. Even if the lion begged him, he would not cancel the integration. He would rather die together instead of saving both their lives.

Artrus clamored, asking him to cancel the skill. He screamed in a commanding tone until to the point of begging. The lion begged to cancel the skill, but Tang Shaoyang did not listen to him. He just straight ignored the lion.

Even though he could not see what happened, he was satisfied hearing Artrusʼ panicked voice. He enjoyed the moment even though he did not know what happened to him.

”Nooooo… I have finally found the most suitable and the best vessel. I canʼt die! I will not die! I donʼt want to die!”

Artrusʼ voice became smaller and smaller, struggling against whatever he faced in a space Tang Shaoyang did not know.

”Please… Donʼt consume me, Master. I will obey all your orders from now on. I will… Noooooo…” Artrusʼ voice faded.

Tang Shaoyang was still oblivious to what happened, but he made sure not to cancel his skill, in case Artrus faked his death. He could not confirm what happened, so he was waiting. Then he started to count and would cancel the integration in one hour.

”ARRRRRGGGGHHHHH! I CANʼT ACCEPT THIS! HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME!? I FINALLY CAN GET AWAY FROM THIS DAMNED PLACE, BUT YOU RUINED EVERYTHING, HUMAN. I CANʼT ACCEPT THIS! DIE WITH ME, HUMAN! DIE WITH THIS KING!”

He made the right decision. It was not even a minute, and Artrus was still alive. Even if Artrus tried to burn his heart, he could not feel his own body anymore. It did not hurt anymore. He was merely a blob of consciousness.
