Chapter 448 – Sucking

Chapter 448 Sucking
When Guido touched the sorcery spells carved into the stone, his fingertips immediately began to flash slightly.

The surge of magic power startled the resentful spirits overhead, and the cries became louder.

The pressure on Guido’s spirit was also getting heavier, his face was pale and he was obviously having a hard time, but he didn’t have the slightest pause in his movements as he drew a special and complicated rune on the sorcery spell formation he had touched.

“Ka-da!”

The stone on which the spell formation was drawn suddenly cracked to both sides. Underneath the stone, a black goblet was unexpectedly revealed.

The black goblet emitted a soft and warm white light, instantly illuminating this sea cave with little space.

“Wow…”

Before Guido could get a clear view of the surroundings, the sea water in the grotto suddenly flipped violently, and the originally mindless floating fragments of grievous spirits came towards Guido, or to be precise, towards the black goblet.

In an instant, Guido deeply realized what it meant to have his soul infused into his body.

His face was grim and his teeth were clenched.

Bright red blood oozed out between his teeth.

However, no matter how hard it was for his body, Guido still firmly reached his hand towards the black goblet.

The cloudy soul fragments were squeezed together with him, making it impossible to see in front of him, but these soul fragments could not block Guido’s sight, but not his hands.

Finally, Guido touched the cup extension, and he endured the pain, excitedly changing his touch to a grip.

But when he gripped his hand, he realized that the touch in his palm had changed.

The object in his palm was slightly softer, and under Guido’s inertial movements, it poofed into his palm.

Before his eyes, the misty, storm of grieving spirit fragments clattered into pieces, revealing a face that was familiar to Guido yet heart-stoppingly frightening.

“Sol!!!”

No longer caring that he was at the bottom of the ocean, Guido opened his mouth and shouted out, a string of bubbles bursting out of his mouth as he quickly floated upwards.

The face that appeared in front of him was green and white, not resembling a living person, and vaguely transparent.

And below the face, there was no torso, but an octopus-like twisted thick and long tentacles.

The suckers between the tentacles opened a mouth with sharp teeth inside, sweeping towards Guido from all directions.

In this instant, many thoughts surfaced in Guido’s mind, but in the end only one remained.

Soul toxin!

In front of this bizarre Sol in front of him, Guido felt a strong sense of crisis. Only the soul toxin that specialized in Saul could give him a sense of security.

Though the toxin that erupted in this state could also injure himself.

But right now Guido didn’t have time to think too much.

He clenched his teeth and his magic power bulged towards his arm.

“Bang!”

Two splashes of blood exploded in the seawater, instantly making the seawater in front of him muddy once again.

The toxin that paralyzed the nerve consciousness quickly spread from both arms to the torso.

Instead, Guido’s arms suddenly detached from his body like ball-jointed puppets.

Before the wounds could spew much blood, new skin had quickly grown.

Guido relied on the way he broke his arms to minimize the possibility of infecting himself with soul toxins.

But he was sure that Saul’s special skin had no chance of escaping.

However, when he snapped back from the pain, he was shocked to find that tentacles had already covered his face and torso!

The giant mouths on the suckers grinned hideously and gnawed on Guido’s face the moment he opened his eyes.

Sharp pain spread throughout his body, and the agony of torn flesh was followed by an even more horrific sucking sensation.

Guido felt as if he had turned into a thick soup in a leaky spoon, flowing in all directions without any resistance at all.

“Impossible!”

Guido only felt that his eyeballs were melting as well, being sucked into a strange space, seeing a narrow and bizarre gray space.

And all around him, there were still firefly-like soul fragments filling the space.

They were wrapped along the pipe-like passageway, and from time to time, they had to suffer the squeeze of the pipes on both sides.

And so the body became even more viscous and finely shredded.

More …… easy to digest?
“So this is what it feels like to be eaten?” Guido’s remaining consciousness pondered blankly, “But why is Saul okay and still able to kill me?”

And in the outside world, Saul transformed into an octopus monster-like spirit slowly let go of Guido.

The latter had already turned into a corpse, and even though he didn’t have the slightest wound on his body, he still gave off a sense of being on the verge of breaking.

And Saul was now in a state of confused consciousness. Just now, he was absorbing souls at maximum power in order to dangle Guido’s spirit body as quickly as possible.

However, there were still quite a few soul fragments around Guido, which led to Saul having to absorb a large number of soul fragments at the same time as he absorbed Guido’s soul.

Inside these soul fragments in the sea cave, the malice was so thick that it almost turned into substance!

Thus Saul could not help but freeze in place after absorbing such intense malice.

Countless malevolent thoughts repeatedly entered his spiritual body along his pores, and those fragments that were larger and more intact would even be crushed in the process.

Like jello, it traveled down his mouth and squeezed into his throat.

At the same time, Saul also saw a broken image, each of which was the soul’s most desperate obsession.

However, Saul’s spiritual power was more solid than before after his promotion, and he didn’t fall into a trance like before.

He only briefly watched a small movie with confusing editing and quickly recovered.

All the same, he still saw a thin thread connecting all of them in the countless clips.

But this time, he didn’t try to rattle that thread.

The more you know, the more you are in awe of the unknown.

Saul could already vaguely feel that if he moved that thin thread, something even more terrifying than evil thoughts might haunt him.

And while Saul was watching the little movie, the soul toxin released by Guido was also splitting and spreading within Saul’s spirit body.

But what Guido hadn’t expected was that Saul was completely in an out-of-body state at this moment.

The skin of that body targeted by the soul toxin was not here.

The last time he was poisoned in the Sorcerer’s Tower, Saul had wondered if it was possible to suck out the toxins traveling through his skin by releasing a soul drape on himself.

It was just interrupted before he could experiment.

This time, he was directly bearing the toxins released by Guido with his spirit body.

And the diary had no warning.

As soon as the soul toxin began to invade his spiritual body, the sound of pages turning resounded in Saul’s mind.

Almost as soon as the sound of turning the pages rang out, the toxins targeting the soul were absorbed cleanly.

By the time Saul regained consciousness, the detoxification process was already over.

The speed and thoroughness of the absorption was as if he had never been poisoned at all.

“Sure enough, with the diary’s ability to absorb distractions, the toxin targeting the soul can’t actually hurt my spiritual body at all.”

“This also explains the reason why Gudo didn’t get warned by the diary last time when he used soul toxins to shade me. It’s because I wouldn’t have died from the poisoning, and when the soul toxin started to penetrate deeper into my spiritual body, it would have been cleaned up by the diary instead. But if I hadn’t gone to help Mentor Golza because of the poisoning, I would have instead been cleaned up by the others after his death.”

Sol nodded, finally figuring out the situation.

All the evil thoughts had been absorbed, and that feeling of sucking jelly through the skin gradually disappeared.

Sol shivered as dozens of tentacles floating in the seawater slowly merged and turned back into a human body.

“It seems that the essence of this soul toxin is actually an evil thought, which happens to be restrained by the diary.”

Making sure once again that Guido was completely dead, Sol took another look at the black goblet hidden in a crack in the stone.

He was in his soul state now, and it was not good to carry a physical object, so he hurriedly drilled out of the sea cave.

Ten minutes later, Saul, who had returned to his body, once again entered the Sea Cave.

And this time, the original exposed goblet had been re-hidden under the stone.

The sorcery spell for this hidden item was quite advanced.

It can automatically shut down if not used for a period of time.

Although the goblet was resealed, Saul was in no hurry.

He directly flipped through the diary inside his spirit body and saw the sixth black page.

“How do I open this seal?”

[Find the third node on the rune and draw the deformed ocean rune following the lines on it.]

The black pages belonging to Guido gave Sol the answer.

Sol followed Guido’s instructions and easily opened the seal, once again meeting the black goblet that emitted a warm, soft glow.

Saul did not immediately reach for the black goblet, but instead focused his attention on the black pages belonging to Guido.

“It’s really convenient …… diary black book page’s ability, it’s really too easy to lead people to fall.”
