Chapter 1197: Chapter 238: The Desolate Vistas of The Void World
That was the Curse Binding from Annan, the resurrection effect of the "Light of Many Lights".
Indeed, Niusel’s injuries were actually far from severe enough to necessitate resurrection... They were merely skin-deep wounds.
With the assistance of the Bone of Fearlessness, even if his whole body was torn and charred by fire, as long as his will and determination remained unshaken, he would recover at double the speed.
By normal reasoning... Annan’s "Light of Many Lights" unconditional full-health resurrection is only available once to everyone. At this time, Annan could simply switch to the Healing Aura, and at most add a holy domain, to heal Niusel back in a matter of seconds.
But what Annan actually feared was Tricino resurrecting from Niusel’s body.
Niusel’s bound posture was too Twisted.
If it was to control Niusel here, or to make it difficult for him to struggle, Niusel could have chosen a more solid form of binding. But he only chose to continue releasing the "Bookbind Shackles" spell through the ritual.
Annan could simply point a finger and say a word to break such a simple ritual.
It was not reinforced at all and was so fragile that it would collapse upon touch.
Even if Annan didn’t want to release it, if they started fighting here, the ritual might be affected. In that case, the ritual would be lifted, and Niusel would be released.
Similarly "bound", then to be "freed"; also arrived here for the same reason of "celestial chariot"; and both had close connections and control over the Bone of Fearlessness...
Following the Bone of Fearlessness, Tricino might directly enter Niusel’s body.
That’s why Annan decisively put the "Light of Many Lights" on Niusel and then killed him. In doing so, Niusel would be reborn in his peak condition and simultaneously shake off the various marks previously placed on him.
The first thing Annan did was to confirm that the awakened Niusel was himself... Tricino indeed did not resurrect from him.
Then, Annan manifested the Book of Truth before him, grabbed his right hand to press upon it and briefly said:
"Check the box to agree."
The now-alert Niusel didn’t hesitate and immediately complied.
From the destruction of the ritual to the signing of the contract, the whole process took less than two seconds.
Tricino’s body hadn’t completely collapsed yet, the players and Naifertali hadn’t recovered their senses... and Niusel was already under Annan’s control.
By now, even if Tricino really did resurrect from Niusel, it wouldn’t matter...
—— Although his previous name had been tainted by The Worm, the name Niusel had been completely "immersed" by Annan.
Despite never having used it, Annan actually has absolute control over the players.
Even those who were later accepted into the player group by him... The substitute of the idol Wizard wasn’t birthed from alien entrails. To inherit the name, one would also inherit the many contracts and agreements previously signed.
After Niusel has successfully signed a contract with Annan, there is no possibility for Tricino to emerge from him anymore.
Annan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned back, beginning to prepare for the unknown enemy that would soon emerge from Tricino’s shell.
All of a sudden, the players felt a lightness in their bodies.
Including Niusel, the weapons in their hands turned into pure Radiance, while armor of light, so light it was imperceptible, cloaked their bodies.
—— Behind them, two light wings burst forth from their shoulder blades and opened with a bang!
And finally, "Tricino’s" shell began to shake and crumble.
Black and viscous tentacles, like oil, reached out from his cracked body. They were like corals and seaweed growing from the fissures of a ship that had sunk to the bottom of the sea.
If an ordinary person were standing here, they would undoubtedly be petrified by the profound hatred, madness, and thirst that permeated the air.
But Annan, who had preemptively deployed the "Group Radiance Shield", "Group Wings of Radiance", and "Group Radiance Weapon", shone with a radiant light, repelling the hostility from the Otherworld.
The tentacles, as viscous as oil, coalesced into a huge, thick hand—or perhaps a Twisted tree—stretching out from the skull of "Tricino", spreading into the high skies.
It was a presence both unattractive and irrational in its Twisted form.
Its current shape was not its original one... Instead, after the world’s demise, it was a Twisted form that coexisted with the destroyed remains of that world.
—That was a true demon.
It raised its hand high, but neither did it fall nor reach for the players.
The creature from another world lacked such combat awareness because their way of fighting was utterly different from this world’s.
It executed a move that Annan had never seen before—
The demon from the Otherworld extended six slender, branch-like "fingers" from the tips of its "arms," each reaching into the void.
The next moment, it seemed to tear open wrapping paper or like pulling a stopper... it grasped something forcefully and yanked it downwards abruptly.
Like one would pull a light cord vertically.
But the world around suddenly became Twisted.
That was the bizarre and vivid scenery of the Otherworld—its state after destruction.
It resembled a Kolaki-style collage painting, emitting all sorts of subtle noises. Annan and his companions, still retaining their previous "art style", stood out starkly against this style and weren’t assimilated into it, looking exceptionally out of place.
But the Twisted monster blended seamlessly with the bizarre aesthetics. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
The brown butterflies with giant palm-like wings, the black butterflies with branches as wings, the red butterflies with clusters of blood-red flowers as wings, the moths that looked ordinary but depicted trembling eyeballs—
And around them, the world appeared as various picture frames hung on colorful walls. Inside the frames were not paintings but regularly patterned fabrics like tablecloths... and the strange paper creatures, which moved through the frames like shadow puppets.
Geometric shapes and walls of various textures were jumbled together, leaving many gaps. Through the cracks, one could see trembling, multi-colored eyeballs that filled all the spaces like bubbles overflowing from a pot.
"...Is this The Void World?"
Annan murmured subconsciously.
But the words he uttered were not familiar to him.
Instead, a sharp noise, unintelligible even to himself, spilled from his mouth. That sound made the other few look at Annan in confusion.
Annan just shook his head, pointing towards the strange creature in the center with the massive "one arm", resembling a huge The Worm with the lower part of Tricino’s body, and its head and upper body transformed into a structure akin to that of an elastic worm.
Was it a demon or The Worm?
Annan himself wasn’t certain of its nature.
But there was one thing he was sure of—
That was...
As long as they kill it—or "them", they could survive and get out.
