“You’re my ally. Why would I have to deceive you? Hurry up. If you’re disobedient, I’ll activate the contract’s restriction. When the time comes, I’ll take off your pants and spank your a*s in front of Ynes Larkin. Would you believe it?”
In an instant, Alex’s face darkened. Should he weep or bawl for running into such a mistress?
Swoosh!
Ymir’s Divine Bone hovered toward him slowly. As he looked at it up-close, he could see more clearly the subtle cracks on the bone. It was from these cracks that the golden light was released. When the light shone on him, he unexpectedly felt a slight tingling sensation in his soul.
“Alright, I’ll give it a try then!”
“Mystic Maiden, if you deceive me again this time, you’ll become my little sister!”
Alex then forced out a drop of his blood essence and dripped it on Ymir’s Divine Bone. That blood was rapidly absorbed by the cracks on it and disappeared. But nothing happened.
After waiting for a full minute, nothing happened either.
“Uh, it’s probably because the blood essence is not enough. You should drip some more,” said Mystic Maiden. When she saw Alex hesitating and was reluctant to give it another go, she added, “This is, after all, the divine bone of the human ancestor. If you’re a Heavenly King, a drop of blood essence will be enough for sure. But you aren’t. Your level is too low, so you must drip more blood essence. Hurry up. I won’t harm you!”
Alex gritted his teeth and continued forcing out his blood essence.
One drop, two drops…
Ten drops, twenty drops…
Alex discovered that he did not know any of these tadpole-like nines and symbols. Moreover, they looked like living creatures, constantly swimming and moving around with rhythm. Immediately afterward, both these runes and golden light flowed wildly along the meridians all over his body, and they even spread out of his body.
“Ah! What… What’s wrong with him?!” Ynes exclaimed.
She saw Alex’s trembling and growling from time to time as if he was in great pain. But at this moment, the golden light flowed out of Alex’s body and enveloped his entire body within it.
At first, his body was covered in golden light. But soon, the golden light slowly solidified, making the current Alex look like a huge golden egg, or rather, a huge golden cocoon. However, the others did not see the tadpole-like ciphers. It seemed that only Alex could see them.
The astonished Ynes reached out to touch it.
As a result, lightning exploded with a boom, blasting her more than ten meters away.
