Everyone's hair stood up!
Then, Abium witnessed a horrifying thing that he had never seen.
At that moment, the two sliced bodies rose in the air, combined into one, and started regenerating new muscles and skin over the charred body.
The charred body formed into the same bluish-Blood child appearance within a blink.
Then, she opened her blue eyes and stood with a cold face.
'What the f*ck is this? Even splitting her body in half can't kill her?'
Abium didn't dare to delay any longer and linked his soul to the mysterious throne hall. After that, he controlled his other small soul form, let the soul move towards 'Time divinity,' and touched it.
In the physical world, Abium's lips began to curl upward and formed into a grin as he saw that the whole surroundings moved in slow motion.
"Attack me with your best ruthless spell." His words surprised everyone. But they didn't have any choice but to trust his words. They knew this kid had many secrets and didn't dare to delay any longer. With their last bit of energy, everyone cast their most ruthless spell while gulping down mana potions.
Meanwhile, that Blood child disappeared from where she stood before and appeared in front of Ulzez in a blink. But just as she was about to use her bloodied claw-like hand to punch a hole in his chest, Abium suddenly tapped his Miracle Star bracelet, took out a strange trinket, and uttered a single word in the abyssal language.
"Switch!"
Meanwhile, the trinket in his hand gave off a dim yellow glow and activated.
At that moment, Akina felt two divine spells attacking her body, and soon one of that divine spells changed her position with the strange blonde-haired elf.
Before she could use a defensive blood spell, another divine spell obstructed her ability to think.
No, it wasn't a Divine Spell that attacked her mind, but a normal first-tier spell. But she felt that the other divine spell played an active role in achieving the impossible!
But that was more than enough.
Even Dragonkin Ulzez had used his last bit of energy to stand up and tore a black scroll while throwing a fist-sized transparent crystal into the newly appeared magic circle.
The next instant, a transparent knife shot through the air, stuck on the Blood Child's forehead, and exploded with a bang. At the same time, a dark sword and an ice spear appeared in front of Akina and struck her chest, completely tearing it.
She now resembled more like a mutilated corpse than a pitiful child.
Then, Abium used all his energy to maintain the master-level sword aura, appeared before her, and slashed at the bloodied figure multiple times in just two seconds.
Soon, everyone saw that the humanoid bloodied body split into countless pieces of flesh and fell on the ground while painting everyone's clothes in scarlet color.
Abium also felt dizzy due to the exhausted mana and almost stumbled back a few steps. But before he could fall, Tabitha caught him from behind and poured a blue-colored potion into his mouth.
Slowly, Abium noticed his dizziness was fading away and breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he and the others were about to relax, the multiple flesh pieces and blood suddenly moved on their own and started to gather together!
All those sliced flesh, bones, and blood combined into one and formed a humanoid blood-like figure.
It had no eyes, no nose, or mouth. It was just a figure filled with blood, bone, and flesh.
"F*ck!" Tabitha cursed out loud and took a few steps back while dragging Abium.
''Lala~...la~la..laaaa!....Waahhhh!'' But suddenly, a strange combination of an ugly song and a child's cry broke everyone's thoughts.
Abium was the first one to notice something had gone wrong. At that moment, he saw the divine trinket in his hand hadn't broken yet and was emitting even more powerful divine power.
He instantly knew that the strange child's cry had come from the trinket and turned grim.
'Oh, sh*t!'
Before anyone could notice, a strange black smoke came out from the trinket and formed into a one-year-old naked male baby with black hair and blue eyes. It slowly crawled towards flesh and blood, gathering together into a bloody humanoid figure, and spoke in a blabbering tone.
"Fath Sdeal! (Fate steal)"
The next second, all the flesh, blood, and even those sliced bones began to rot at an unimaginable speed and soon turned into ash, leaving only a strange thumb-sized red petal.
Simultaneously, a twenty-meter-tall illusionary hydra with nine heads appeared above the baby's head and swallowed that red petal. Before anyone could understand what was happening, the illusionary hydra figure and the strange baby had disappeared from everyone's sight.
Everyone became dumbfounded by the sudden change and felt an uncontrollable fear.
Meanwhile, Ulzez turned his gazes toward Abium, full of confusion and suspicion.
"'Cough!' Don't look at me like that. I also know nothing about him. But I think he is the one who released you from prison.'' Abium said while shaking his head. He could feel they still didn't trust his words but chose to stay silent. They knew that if not for his help, they would have died long ago.
''Kid, it seems that baby wrote a letter for you.'' Alius stood up with a frown and quickly moved towards the area where that baby stood before.
Everyone saw a small piece of white paper lying on the ground. Without even minding others' puzzled looks, Alius picked it up and threw it towards Abium while saying solemnly.
"You gained my trust, elf. If not for your help, we might already be defeated and even got killed. Everyone has their own secrets, so we mages won't pry yours'." As he said that, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Soon, a cloud of golden some came out from Abium's body and returned to Alius.
Meanwhile, Abium let out a relieved sigh and nodded solemnly. After a few seconds, Anne and Mark also arrived there with a grim look and started helping Tabitha and Ulzez while asking what had happened during the battle.
Abium didn't pay attention to them and quietly moved towards a corner before reading the letter.
''Greetings, Royal Elf!
It's time for us to make a deal. You must have already guessed about me. Yes, I'm not strong enough. That's the reason I manipulated others to get this Blood Divinity. Here is the deal. Steal the beating gray heart in the Holy See's underground seventh secret chamber, and I will fulfill my promise. You have only ten years to finish that job; otherwise, I will do it independently. Remember that I will also take my bracelet if you fail. As for the help from my side, I already gave you one. It is the trinket in your hand.
Using that trinket, you can use the 'Switch' divine spell once per day.
-Watcher."
Once Abium finished reading that letter, he frowned deeply. How could he not guess that was Watcher's scheme?
Steal something from Holy See's underground secret chamber? That's a suicidal mission!
Abium had long guessed this Watcher was after something big. Although he didn't expect he would have to steal something from Holy See, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.
While thinking, he silently tapped the Miracle star and moved the trinket towards it.
Miracle star was an intellectual artifact, so it knew this strange trinket could help Abium during battles.
Without receiving orders from Abium, it created a small space for the trinket to attach to it. Abium was pleased by the Miracle star's response and nodded with a smile. After that, Abium put the trinket in the small space and then thought of how to deal with Watcher.
'Tsk, stop acting like you control everything. Do you want to play with me? Then don't get offended when you find out you are being played.' Abium snorted inwardly and quickly stood up. Only now did he notice a pair of malicious eyes staring at him from his left side.
He didn't even glance at that blonde-haired male and quickly walked toward Tabitha. After that, he silently sat near her and started gathering information about the Arcane Empire.
Once he rescues Umi and Fennelis and completes his next mission at the Taiga Sloth Woods, his next destination will be the Arcane Empire. Although he felt that plan would change soon, he didn't think much about it.
