Death… And Me

Chapter 3080  Rogue Runes

Rean used his Light Element to reduce the speed which Uruavis deteriorated but didnʼt urge Yuan to hurry up. Yuan had to get a full grasp of the method before trying it out, so giving him the necessary time was a must.

Yuan used his own bloodline to practice it. He would draw his blood out and hold it with his Spiritual Sense. Then, he would use the method to absorb it back into his body before repeating the process. That was the easiest way to do it since there wouldnʼt be rejection issues.

Finally, two hours and something later, Yuan nodded, feeling like he was ready. ”Rean, this is it. You made this complicated technique very easy to understand in the instructions. I donʼt think I can get any better now.”

Rean smiled at him. ”Thatʼs good then. Letʼs give it a try.”

Rean and Yuan approached the Spiritual Prison Sphere. Before Yuan started, Rean used his Spiritual Energy to gather as much Light Element as possible and envelop the Sphere with it. The Charybdis Queenʼs Soul is trapped inside, and he doesnʼt know what state she is at the moment. That said, Rean planned to start healing her Soul as soon as a breach appeared in the Spiritual Prison. ”Alright, you can start.”

Yuan took a deep breath and nodded. He kept himself in his Horned Cloud Shark Form and opened several cut around his body. Back then, Rean made a cut in Folianaʼs heart so she could absorb the Red Lightning Hawkʼs bloodline essence. Yuan did the same thing with Reanʼs help. Not only that, but most of those cuts led to his heart, not just one like Folianaʼs. It was all according to Roanʼs method. With Rean there, he wouldnʼt need to worry about not being able to heal later.

Then, his Spiritual Energy came out, and so did a huge amount of Yuanʼs own blood. It was a good thing he was a Horned Cloud Shark, which was quite big. He had plenty of blood to use. That blood also enveloped the Spiritual Prison and created a blood connection between Yuan and the Bloodline Essence that was keeping the Prison together.

Finally, Yuan tried to feel the bloodline in the Prison Shell, which created a connection between the two. *zush, zush, zush, zush...*

Rean observed that and noticed that the countless Bloodline runes around the Prison seemed to have felt something. They became agitated, and in a few seconds, they began to leave the Spiritual Prison and rush into the blood that connected Yuanʼs Heart to the Prison.

Bloodlines Runes began to appear all over Yuanʼs body. However, even with all the preparations, the Charybdis Bloodline Essence was really strong. Yuan felt like his body was burning, especially his heart, where he received most of it. Rean noticed that and directed some of his Light Element to Yuan, helping alleviate the pain Yuan was feeling. This was a process that would take several hours. Roan altered this method so Yuan wouldnʼt take more than a few drops to integrate with his body every time. Not to mention Roan only managed to finish revising this method because of Diliyʼs sudden appearance.

Yuan glanced at Rean and the Light Element entering his body. ”Thank you...” he forced the words out.

”Just focus,” Rean urged him. ”These bloodline runes are not just for show. They should also be the reason the Charybdis Motherʼs Soul is trapped. Soon, they should start to assault your soul instead, trying to seal it.”

Yuan nodded and concentrated as much as possible.

One hour...

Two hours...

Three hours...

More and more Bloodline Essence, as well as Bloodline Runes, entered Yuanʼs blood. It was then that the balance changed. Some of the runes that hovered over Yuanʼs body began to rush into his soul, just like Rean predicted.

That balance change happened because Yuan had managed to absorb more than 50% of the bloodline essence comprising the prison. Now, yuan had become the real target, and the remaining bloodline around the Spiritual Prison tried to rush into Yuanʼs body at once.

”Hmph!” Rean snorted as his hair changed into a mix of Black and White colors. Then, Roanʼs Dark Element surged forward and entered Yuanʼs brain together with Reanʼs Light Element. ”Iʼve been waiting to lure you guys out.”

Rean didnʼt know the Bloodline Runes, but he knew the Charybdis Queen Bloodline Essence was being used to form the prison. How could it be possible? Thatʼs because some of the bloodline runes on the Spiritual Prison must be acting to make that happen. After all, how could it be possible that the queenʼs own bloodline was holding her soul in place? Without a doubt, those specific runes werenʼt from the Charybdis Mother but something the Werdlem Empire somehow injected into her bloodline.

Thatʼs what Rean had been waiting for. Once the balance was broken and Yuan got more than 50% of the Bloodline Runes, these runes, which acted to imprison the Charybdis Mother, would change target and try to seal Yuanʼs Soul instead.

Too bad, though. Reanʼs Light Element kept Yuanʼs Soul safe, while Roanʼs Dark Element destroyed the harmful runes that arrived one by one. Roanʼs Dark Element didnʼt have the power to destroyed the Spiritual Prison and all the Bloodline Essence it was made of. But if it was just some specific rogue runes, that wasnʼt a problem.

*Plac, plac, plac, plac, plac...*

The Bloodline Sealing Runes corroded and exploded like fireworks around Yuanʼs soul, being completely incapable of causing any issues.

Meanwhile, Yuan focused on the sudden insurgence of Bloodline Essence. Fortunately, Roanʼs method advised Yuan about this possibility and a way to prevent his body from exploding when that happened. How? Simple! When that moment arrived, Yuan would have already absorbed at least 50% of the Charybdis Queen Bloodline Essence and made it his own. So... he simply used his own Charybdis Bloodline now to control the insurgence.

Between broken bloodline runes and bloodline absorption, the Spiritual Prison quickly disappeared with the rush of bloodline essence going into Yuanʼs body. Finally, the last bloodline essence drop and rune flowed into Yuanʼs body, revealing the Charybdis Queenʼs Soul enveloped in bright Light Element from Rean.

Rean couldnʼt help but smile. ”Time to wake up, mommy.”
