Chapter 126 - 108: Finale (3)
Closer and closer.
Lin Ye could even feel his exposed skin begin to sting with a burning pain.
A glint of crazed determination flashed in his eyes.
’This is it.’
He released his grip on the crystal spear.
The crystal spear, lodged in the monster’s skull, instantly lost the support of his Spiritual Power and dissipated into a shower of purple light.
With the obstruction gone, the Giant-Winged Demon’s massive maw snapped shut, but it bit down on empty air.
Lin Ye forcibly squeezed out a final, massive surge of Spiritual Power from his nearly-drained Sea of Consciousness.
Another crystal spear materialized in his palm.
This time, he didn’t attack from the exterior.
He thrust this new crystal spear upward at a strange and cunning angle.
From within the Giant-Winged Demon’s reopened, gaping maw, he thrust it up from below, straight into its cranial cavity!
Out of the Abyss!
SHHHHNK—!!!
This time, there was nothing in its way.
The sharp crystal spear tore through the soft palate, pierced the fragile brain membrane, and plunged deep into the monster’s brain!
SCREEEEEECH—!!!
A howl far more shrill and agonized than any before erupted from the depths of the Giant-Winged Demon’s throat.
The sound even drowned out the howling gales.
At the same time, Lin Ye clearly heard an equally shrill scream—a human one.
It was the Doctor’s voice.
They were symbiotically linked. This fatal wound, originating at their core, instantly drained the last of their vitality.
The Giant-Winged Demon’s massive body began to convulse violently in mid-air, its flight path becoming completely erratic.
Lin Ye felt the strength in the giant claw clutching him rapidly fading.
’My chance!’
His head throbbed, and a sharp, needle-like pain emanated from the depths of his Sea of Consciousness—the price for over-expending his Spiritual Power in such a short time.
But he couldn’t afford to care.
He struggled, kicking his legs, trying to break free from the monster’s slowly loosening grasp.
If he could just get free, he might have a sliver of a chance of survival, even falling from this height.
He could use [Crystalization] to protect his heart and brain. As long as his vitals weren’t damaged, even if he was smashed into a pile of pulp, he could recover using his Healing out of combat, given enough time!
However, things did not go as planned.
Just as he was about to break free.
A writhing mass of black flesh suddenly burst from the Giant-Winged Demon’s chest.
The mass of flesh rapidly coalesced in mid-air, taking the form of the Doctor.
SQUELCH!
A sharp pain shot through Lin Ye’s shoulder.
The Doctor’s upper body had lunged out like a viper, his arms wrapping tightly around Lin Ye’s body and pulling him back into the claw’s grasp.
Simultaneously, he had opened his mouth and bitten down on Lin Ye’s shoulder!
His sharp fangs pierced flesh and blood.
He began to greedily, frantically suckle Lin Ye’s blood.
Lin Ye had lost his chance to escape.
The world before him was completely filled by a pure, dazzling white light.
「The next moment.」
Light and heat, intense enough to melt steel in an instant, enveloped and devoured them!
Lin Ye couldn’t open his eyes.
He didn’t even feel any pain, only a strange sensation of being peeled apart, of being disintegrated.
The giant claw, the Doctor’s face biting his shoulder—all of it melted away silently in this sea of light, like snow under a blazing sun, dissolving into primordial particles.
Lin Ye gritted his teeth and squeezed out the very last shred of Spiritual Power from the depths of his consciousness.
Shards of eerie purple crystal materialized out of thin air.
Like scales, they layered themselves over his heart and head.
Lin Ye could no longer feel his feet.
Then his legs.
Then his abdomen, his hands.
Perhaps because the energy was too violent, he didn’t feel a single trace of pain throughout the entire process.
He could only perceive that his body was rapidly disappearing.
He could only rely on his final instincts. Like that Crystal Spirit Race youngling, he curled up his body.
He shrank the surface area of his body exposed to the violent energy as much as possible.
CRACK...
Lin Ye heard the purple crystals protecting his core rapidly shattering before this destructive power.
Cracks spread across them like a spiderweb.
’I... can’t hold on!’
Finally, with a faint cracking sound.
The amethyst shattered completely.
Lin Ye’s consciousness plunged into an endless, eternal darkness.
Life Value...
Zero!
