Chapter 980: Chapter 0977 Gulvig

The light from the Hand Magic Tube illuminated the depths of the black hole, revealing a small altar. In the center of the altar, there were chains composed of Dark Attribute Magic Power, binding a strange and nauseating mass that resembled a heap of rotting flesh, which continued to wriggle incessantly.

“What is this disgusting thing?”

“The Dark Attribute Magic Power is so dense, and it clearly carries the scent of death, similar to the aura on the Mutated Mermaids, brother.”

“I sense it too, it must be this thing that has contaminated the mermaids. There’s a sealing type Magic Array around it, perhaps the mermaid race had sealed this rotten flesh here. But then the rotten flesh broke through the seal and infected a mermaid, turning it into a Mutated Mermaid.”

Li Si Te (Liszt) analyzed.

He looked at the wriggling flesh, and although he felt disgusted, he still wanted to go down and investigate. However, before he could do so, the rotting flesh within the seal quickly coalesced into the shape of a beast’s paw and suddenly grasped towards the hole’s entrance, emitting strong Dragon Might from the paw in an attempt to lock onto Liszt.

“Dragon Might?”

Liszt’s reaction was swift as he promptly summoned his Dragon Dou Qi, placing it at the entrance of the black hole, trying to block the sudden burst of Dragon Might and the rotting flesh that had taken the shape of a dragon claw.

But as soon as the rotting dragon claw made contact with the Dragon Dou Qi, it quickly corroded the high-level Dragon Dou Qi to nothingness and then continued its relentless grasp towards Liszt.

“Brother, be careful!” Ach hurriedly condensed magic.

Yet, the quickest to react was Unicorn Charlie, whose golden spiral horn on its forehead shone brilliantly, instantly striking the rotting dragon claw.

Crack!

“Roar!”

A distant dragon’s roar resounded, and the rotting dragon claw was shattered by the light from Charlie’s horn. As it attempted to coalesce again, it was dragged back to the center of the altar by chains of sealing Magic Array, transformed into the Dark Attribute, and turned into a mass of rotting flesh, slowly wriggling.

It was a close call.

Liszt exhaled turbid breath, feeling a lingering fear, and began to reassess the interior of the black hole, “What is this thing that has Dragon Might, and even the sound of a dragon’s roar?”

“This must be part of a dragon, brother,” Ach said, forming a transparent water shield to block the entrance, preventing the rotting flesh from lashing out and injuring someone. “The Dark Attribute Superior Magic is very evident, and it’s accompanied by the aura of death, making it hard to determine its type, but it might be a Dark Dragon.”

“No, that’s not right. I have read records related to the Dark Dragon. Although the Dark Dragon is a Dark Attribute Elemental Dragon, its nature is corrosion and should not carry the scent of death. Ach, you often use the Eight Dragons God Sword and should have a profound understanding of the Superior Magic with Dark Attribute on it,” Liszt analyzed.

In fact, the reason he could deduce such a conclusion was that the prize from the Smoke Mission, “Devil’s Traces,” made him feel that the Dark Dragon, being an Elemental Dragon, had no connection to the devil.

However, the rotten flesh beneath was somewhat reminiscent of the Devil’s Traces.

Upon hearing this, Ach nodded and agreed, “Brother makes sense. It seems that this is indeed not part of a Dark Dragon. Then what dragon could it be part of?”

“I don’t know, and it’s even hard to say whether it’s part of a dragon at all.”

But regardless, the rotting flesh, sealed in the black hole altar, was undoubtedly the source of the evil force, and its danger level was very high. He then asked Ach to add an extra layer of sealing at the entrance, hoping it would block for a while, allowing them to find a way to dispel the evil force and thoroughly investigate the true secrets of the rotting flesh.

“Brother, Ach’s sealing magic is somewhat rudimentary and can only block for half a month. And the sealing Magic Array down there also looks like it’s about to be corroded by the rotting flesh, and this substance could break free at any moment.”

“We’ll take it one step at a time,” Liszt’s eyebrows raised slightly, “Perhaps we should first bring the mermaids back to life, and then from their accounts, inquire about the origins of the rotting flesh.”

“The petrified mermaid statues, Ach has no clue how to revive them yet,” said Liszt. “However, the mutated mermaid might be purified of its evil force by stripping its soul, to see if it can be restored to its mermaid identity.”

“Then let’s restore this place to its original state and head back the way we came.”

…

The soul-stripping experiment progressed smoothly, extracting a twisted black-gray magic power from the ten-meter-long mutated mermaid and sealing it into a glass bottle designed to contain souls.

This superior magic would sometimes morph into the shape of an ugly dragon, and at other times, into the shape of an ugly mutated mermaid, which was quite peculiar.

“The mutated mermaid shape must be due to the deprivation of the original superior magic from the mermaid, infected by some strange, malignant force; as for the dragon shape, that must be the biological form of the power itself, a special kind of dragon,” Liszt, the research worker who couldn’t get hands-on, had a strong analytical ability.

“What kind of dragon might it be?”

“We may get some information once the mermaid wakes up.”

As the evil power was stripped from the mutated mermaid, the tumors on its body quickly vanished, the gray-black of its scales began to fade, and spots of blue started to appear. However, it remained unconscious for several days, its condition gradually improving, slowly regaining a hint of the mermaid’s grace.

The upper half of its body had a human form with scaly blue patterns; the lower half was that of a fish tail, growing new palm-sized scales.

Perhaps because of the extended period of corruption by the evil force, the mermaid’s body was extremely weak, overall not fitting the descriptions of mermaids from legends.

There was none of that imperious nobility.

“Its current state is probably similar to Lich Andy’s after the Dragon Soul was stripped away; its body has been hollowed out by the evil force.”

Lich Andy was dead, having been used as a lab rat for a while, he eventually expired due to organ failure.

The Sapphire Dragon’s Dragon Soul had also been fully purified. It’s still declared to be undergoing treatment because the Sapphire Duke is still struggling not to die. Liszt had no intention of returning the Dragon Soul until the Duke was dead—the Sapphire Family didn’t dare to demand it either.

“So might the mermaid also follow in Lich Andy’s footsteps?” Liszt inquired.

“It shouldn’t, the physical constitution of mermaids is much more robust than humans’, and their healing powers are strong; it may wake up soon.”

“I have too much to do, I’ll be back in a few days. As soon as the mermaid wakes up, notify me immediately.”

“Understood.”

Liszt didn’t have to wait long; three days later, the mermaid finally awoke.

When Liszt rushed to the Overmarine Laboratory, he found the mermaid lying bare-breasted on the shore soaking up the sun, while Ach communicated with her riding a unicorn.

The mermaid was female; in the statues, the upper half was always clothed.

This mermaid’s clothes had long since vanished, but even though she was naked, there was nothing “indecent” about it—the tumors were gone, but her body was left pitted and without any aesthetic appeal, her face disfigured, and her hair so sparse it was nearly bald.

“Brother, let me introduce you,” Ach began, “this lady is a descendant of the mermaid lineage, her name is He Zhunstost Bragi Grett Valkyria… Gulvig.”

Her name, roughly three hundred characters long, was over a hundred characters longer than the two hundred or so characters in a Sea Serpent’s name.
