Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1372 - 1270: News of the Totem Fragment (Two in One)

"Hahaha, thinking of rescuing someone now? Too late!"

Protected by black flames, the Western Monk laughed boldly, his eyes brimming with undisguised mockery. Then, abruptly, his smile vanished, and he shouted coldly, "The sacrifice is complete, the Evil Spirit comes forth!"

"Boom!"

The ground trembled violently, the entire space felt like it was about to collapse, black liquid splashed everywhere, and the four stone columns burst into dazzling light. The liquid spiraled up the columns, quickly staining them pitch-black. A sinister black aura brewed above the columns, and all four people bound to them fell into a comatose state.

"Damn it, break for me!"

Su Ran couldn’t get close to the four columns and could only use long-range attacks against the chains. To his surprise, the chains turned out to be illusory, passing right through and hitting the columns without any effect.

At that moment, the black aura transformed into a fierce beast and swallowed the four people whole, along with the stone columns, which also entered the belly of the beast.

"Human, this is just the beginning. The Evil Spirit is about to be reborn, the gods—no, damn!"

The Western Monk’s words were cut short when he saw the beast’s form starting to dissipate. He frowned and muttered under his breath, "Damn, there aren’t enough sacrifices!"

He knew very well that if he didn’t remedy the situation, the so-called Evil Spirit’s Descent would be nothing but empty talk.

As for the sacrifices...

With time pressing, the Western Monk couldn’t set his sights on Su Ran. Without hesitation, he plunged into the black liquid and softly intoned, "I offer myself into the cycle of reincarnation, Evil Spirit, hasten your arrival in this world!"

"Roar!"

With the Western Monk’s sacrifice, the Beast Soul let out a ferocious roar, accelerating the materialization process in midair. Its black body solidified, becoming as tangible as a flesh-and-blood wild beast.

"Hahaha, even if I become a ghost, I won’t let you off! Human, relish the fear of impending death!"

As the black liquid corroded him, the Western Monk’s flesh began to rot away, revealing the ghastly white of his skeletal frame. His monstrous smile froze on his face until he was submerged by the liquid and fully sacrificed his life to the nameless Beast Soul.

"Tch, the fear of imminent death? Let me tell you something, buddy—I’ve been leveling up from death since level one! Fought monsters that healed when I hit them; I’ve been so close to giving up, what’s there to fear now?"

Su Ran felt regret at the Western Monk’s demise; had the NPC died by his hand, at the very least some gear or a Skill Book might have dropped, not to mention some experience. It would’ve been better than a system retrieval.

Such a pity.

As for the four companions, Su Ran had given up hope by this point—they’d been swallowed by the Beast Soul and were likely already digested into waste.

"Beast Soul Evil Spirit? I’d like to see just how powerful you really are!"

Su Ran watched the Beast Soul brewing with might in midair, his eyes alight with combativeness. Logically and emotionally, he couldn’t back down from this battle—he had to avenge his teammates. If he could kill this super boss and loot some fantastic treasures, wouldn’t that be amazing?

Moreover, even if he were no match for the boss, he could fly, turn invisible, and had invincibility skills—escaping wasn’t a worry. Additionally, with the Western Monk dead, it’s very likely that after its birth, the Beast Soul Evil Spirit might take him for kin—wouldn’t that mean gaining another pet?

But his pet space was already full. What to do now?

Su Ran started to daydream.

However, deceiving an Evil Spirit isn’t easy, and the likelihood of it recognizing an owner was almost nil. Upon realizing this, Su Ran made up his mind; he couldn’t let the Evil Spirit evolve that easily!

"Get down here!"

Gripping the Air-restriction Stone, Su Ran immediately activated its domain.

No matter the prowess of the Beast Soul Evil Spirit, it couldn’t withstand the rules of the anti-air domain and was forcibly pulled to the ground, splattering into a pool of black liquid.

All the efforts to materialize a ferocious beast appearance were in vain.

"Eh?" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

What surprised Su Ran was that the four columns were undamaged, and even the four bound companions showed no fatal injuries. After careful observation, he realized that the chains had turned into a protective barrier, saving their lives.

"Haha, lucky—they’re not dead yet!"

Overjoyed, Su Ran rushed forward, disregarding whether the pool of black liquid was dangerous. Saving the people was the priority!

Fortunately, the Beast Soul Evil Spirit hadn’t fully descended. After hitting the ground, the liquid sluggishly gathered back together. During this time, Su Ran successfully broke the protective barrier and rescued each person onto the platform, nearly exhausting himself to death.

Throughout, all four were unconscious, limp as dead dogs—a no wonder Su Ran ended up so drained.

Worth noting, only the leader was dragged onto the platform; the other three ladies were carried by Su Ran, a marked difference in treatment. If the leader were aware, he’d surely hold Su Ran accountable.

However, Su Ran didn’t see anything inappropriate about it; his concern was how to awaken the four from their unconscious state.

With the Beast Soul Evil Spirit still in the midst of fusion, Su Ran was not preoccupied with stopping it he pondered briefly and then pulled out a bottle of healing potion, pouring it into the leader’s mouth.

Unfortunately, it was useless; the leader remained unconscious, although his complexion did turn noticeably rosier.
