Chapter 59&60

Chapter 59: The Combination of Curse and Spiritual Power

Everywhere...?

Hearing the description of Ebon Candle , Yatogami Tohka showed a confused look. This was the first time she heard such a description being used on a person.

Trying to imagine this scene, her face changed slightly, and she couldn't help but step back.

Her gaze into the room also became astonished.

"Suowong, didn't he blow himsSpirit up when he tried to fuse the spirit crystal?" Yatogami Tohka asked with an unpleasant expression. "Huh? That's not the case. Didn't he tell you that guy is a collection of curses?" Lord Ebon Candle looked at her strangely, "That old guy lost his flesh and blood five hundred years ago. After fighting with my old friend, he tried to use the curse to change his life form. Although he still looks like a human, what is hidden under that skin is a twisted curse."

"Um...what do you mean?"

"Alas, I have explained it so clearly, don't you understand?" Lord Black Candle's tone became helpless, "Soon after the fusion of the spirit crystal, the spirit power of the spirit crystal and the curse in his body produced a violent reaction, causing all the curses in his body to run wild and escape."

"Oh! I see!" Yatogami Tohka seemed to finally understand, "So, the black fog covering the inside and outside of the castle, as well as the black fog in the room, are all to prevent the curse from leaking out?"

"That's what I said from the beginning."

"But you didn't say the curse was from Suowongn!"

Yatogami Tohka expression became even uglier.

She realized that the chilling breath in the air was actually the curse in Suowong body, which made her want to cover her mouth and nose directly. Every time she breathed, she would inhale a part of Suowong into her body. This feeling was really terrible!

But she finally resisted the urge in her heart and forced her attention back to the conversation. "Is Suowong's current state considered dead or alive?" Yatogami Tohka asked doubtfully. "It's hard to say. Life forms twisted by curses are rare. I've only seen Suowong in my life who can stabilize the curse in his body and live for five hundred years. I have to say that guy is indeed a genius." Ebon Candle replied helplessly, "What's more, your spirit crystal is also composed of unknown power and technology. I don't understand either the power of the curse or the spiritual power of the spirit crystal, and I don't know the principle of the reaction between them."

"So...what should we do now?"

"Luckily, before the spiritual power and the curse reacted, Suowong had cooperated with me in conducting many experiments, and these experiments provided a lot of valuable data." Lord Ebon Candle comforted, "As long as you give me a few more months, I will definitely find a way to refine Elq soul fragments."

"A few months? That's too long!"

"Rather than worrying about that, don't you think we should solve the crisis at hand first?" Lord Ebon Candle said speechlessly, "The second phase of the experiment began six days ago, and his curse got out of control three days ago. I have been waiting for you to come back for these three days. You are the only one in the Floating Continent Island who can help me solve this mess."

"Me?" Yatogami Tohka pointed at hersSpirit in confusion, "How can I help you? I don't know anything about curses." "But you know a lot about spirit crystals, right?"

"Uh..." Yatogami Tohka said hesitantly, "To be honest, I don't understand either."

"Huh?" Lord Ebon Candle asked in surprise, "The source of your life is the spirit crystal, and you tell me you don't understand it?" "Even if you say so..." Yatogami Tohka said embarrassedly, "Mobilizing the power of the spirit crystal is my innate talent. No one taught me anything."

Ebon Candle was just about to ask how this was possible.

But on second thought, there seemed to be nothing wrong with what she said.

Just like the brain is the most important organ of many organisms, not everyone can have a clear understanding of the knowledge related to the brain. The same is probably true for her. Able to use it, know that it exists, but that's all.

But even so, Yatogami Tohka is his only hope.

"In short, you have to give it a try." Lord Ebon Candle said with a slight headache, "Suowong is the only person on the Floating Continent Island who is qualified to cooperate with me. Although his strength is weaker than mine in my heyday, he is also undoubtedly a strong man. If you want to deal with the mess he left behind, you have to be as strong as him, or even stronger than him."

"Is there no one else on such a large floating continental archipelago?"

"William can, of course, I mean the old William." Lord Ebon Candle said with a wry smile, "As for now, except for William and Suowong, all the other former heroes died five hundred years ago. My other two companions, Jade Nail and Carmine Lake, were also said to have been eliminated. You are the only one who can help me."

"Hmm..."

"I have to tell you that my power cannot suppress the curses in this room forever." Lord Ebon Candle warned, "After the curse in Suowong body reacts with the spiritual power of the spiritual crystal, the combined power has far exceeded my current strength. I can only suppress it temporarily, and at most for one or two months."

Seeing Yatogami Tohka tangled expression, Ebon Candle paused and continued, "Two months later, it will be completely out of control and will explode immediately, and then gradually spread to the entire floating continent archipelago. And unlike the sixth beast, this is a crisis that even the golden fairy cannot solve... You, want to Do you want to watch your companions contract the curse and die?"

"Of course not!" Yatogami Tohka blurted out.

"Then come and help me. Only the two of us together can solve this disaster." "…good."

Yatogami Tohka expression gradually became firm, and she nodded heavily. Seeing that she was willing to help him, the soul fire in Ebon Candle eyes suddenly jumped a few times.

"Don't worry, you can come in." Lord Ebon Candle said, "I have suppressed the power of the fusion of the curse and the spirit crystal. Although ordinary people will be infected as soon as they come in, you have a certain resistance since you have the same power as it."

"What do I need to do?"

"Come to my side."

Yatogami Tohka put away the Sandalphon and mobilized the spiritual power in her body to form a shield-like stance in front of her.

She walked slowly into the lightless room, taking cautious steps.

Although she couldn't see anything, she could see the soul fire in the eyes of the Lord Ebon Candle in the darkness, so she quickly came to his side. "Now, take three steps to the left, and then five steps forward."

Following the instructions of Lord Kurozu, Yatogami Tohka took a few more steps. "Raise your hands."

Yatogami Tohka raised her hand.

But just as she stretched it out in the air, she felt that she had touched something cold. However, before she could ask what it was, Lord Black Candle's next instruction came over. "The last step, pour all the spiritual power you can mobilize into the object you touch."

Chapter 60: Consciousness Space

The touch in my hand was cool and delicate, and I didn't know what it was.

But Yatogami Tohka was sure that whatever she was touching now must be the source of the curse. Although she did not doubt that the Ebon Candle Guild would harm her, she still asked out of caution.

"What...is this thing?" "I think you'll feel better if you don't know."

"If you don't tell me, I'll feel itchy."

"Okay." Ebon Candle said helplessly, "This is, uh, the product of the curse in Suowong body running wild." After getting this answer, Yatogami Tohka was so scared that she almost pulled her hand back.

This kind of thing just sounds bad.

Although the aura of this thing was steady and it did not show any desire to corrode under the suppression of Lord Black Candle, putting her hand on it still caused a strong resistance in Yatogami Tohka heart.

She could clearly feel that what she was touching was not Suowong body, or anything like that. It was more like a source of distortion formed by the fusion of Suowong curse and Tokisaki Kurumi's spirit crystal. Lord Ebon Candle was right.

Floating Continent Archipelago, she is the only one who can deal with this thing.

"Under my suppression, this thing will not invade your body." Lord Ebon Candle said, "All you need to do is pour spiritual power into it and

slowly guide the spiritual crystals inside out. Once the spiritual crystals are separated, I can control the remaining curse power."

"Okay, I understand."

Yatogami Tohka nodded nervously and mobilized the spiritual power in her body. Magic power and spiritual power belong to two different power systems.

Although they have similarities, it is still easy to distinguish the two. Therefore, when Yatogami Tohka poured her spiritual power into the source of distortion, her spiritual power quickly resonated with the spiritual power in it. Ebon Candle did not teach her how to guide the spiritual crystal out.

But it's not actually that difficult.

Yatogami Tohka left the direction of control to her instincts, gradually calmed down, and slowly searched for the spiritual crystal hidden inside. Soon, she had a harvest.

"Huh?"

When she followed the spiritual power in the source of distortion and found the spiritual crystal that was fused with the curse, she couldn't help but let out a light sigh. Although she couldn't see anything, through the fluctuations transmitted by the spiritual power resonance, she could feel that something seemed to be wrong with the spiritual crystal at the moment. Magic power and spiritual power are different, and spiritual power is also different from spiritual power.

Each Spirit has its own spiritual power wavelength, which is an important part of their identity. In the previous world, she played Tokisaki Kurumi, so she naturally knew what Tokisaki Kurumi's spiritual power wavelength was. However, at this moment, this spiritual crystal belonging to Tokisaki Kurumi revealed a strange feeling. Is it because of the curse?

This situation was obviously beyond her knowledge.

But no matter what, now that the spiritual crystal in the source of distortion has been located, the next step is to guide it out. Without hesitation,

Yatogami Tohka controlled her spiritual power and touched the spiritual crystal at the center of the source of distortion. "Om————!"

Just as she was about to wrap the spiritual crystal with her spiritual power and slowly move it outward, the spiritual crystal suddenly vibrated. It was as if a switch was pressed. As the spiritual crystal vibrated, the entire source of distortion rioted like boiling water. The soul fire in the eyes of the Lord Ebon Candle who was in charge of suppressing it vibrated wildly.

Before he could ask Yatogami Tohka what he had done, in order to stabilize the curse here, he mobilized all his remaining magic power and summoned all the black fog covering the inside and outside of the castle into this room. The boiling curse calmed down a little. But it's only temporary.

"No matter what method you use, pull out the spirit crystal immediately!" There was some effort in Ebon Candle 's voice, "I can't hold on for much longer!" Hearing this, Yatogami Tohka gritted her teeth and no longer held back.

Purple spiritual light bloomed from her hands, partially illuminating the room shrouded in black fog. A huge amount of spiritual power rushed towards the spiritual crystal, and Yatogami Tohka mobilized the most spiritual power she could release at one time, trying to shake the spiritual crystal in the source of distortion.

"Buzz——!"

Under the influence of Yatogami Tohka, the frequency of the spiritual crystal vibration increased. As if reaching some critical point, the spiritual crystal that was originally resisting the movement suddenly released a huge amount of spiritual power. It was like two people who were originally tug-of-war, and one of them suddenly gave up the tug-of-war and rushed directly towards the other! The spiritual power from the source of distortion devoured and assimilated Yatogami Tohka spiritual power at an extremely fast speed.

This spiritual crystal was actually pulling Yatogami Tohka spiritual crystal in the opposite direction! Yatogami Tohka face changed, and she instinctively wanted to cut off the connection between the two spiritual crystals. However, she was still a step too late.

"buzz----!"

The spiritual crystal in the source of distortion came into contact with the spiritual crystal in Yatogami Tohka body at lightning speed with the help of her spiritual power.

Yatogami Tohka felt dazed, and her consciousness gradually drifted away to the horizon amidst the crisp dinging sound. Her body, which was wearing the divine spiritual outfit, swayed, and she could not control her body, and soon fell to the ground.

"Hey! Are you okay?"

Faintly, she seemed to hear the anxious voice of Lord Ebon Candle . But she no longer had the energy to respond. As consciousness completely faded, she closed her eyes.

When Yatogami Tohka opened her eyes again, she was in a different place. The dark room had disappeared without a trace. In its place is a spacious library.

Rows of books are neatly placed on the bookshSpirit, and you can't see the boundary at a glance. It's like a sea of books. Yatogami Tohka swallowed, not understanding what was going on. "here it is...?"

She asked the question instinctively.

"This is the forbidden library of the Sage Tower in the Imperial Capital, a library that gathers all the wisdom of mankind." She was just asking hersSpirit this question, and she didn't think she would get an answer. But behind her, a young man's voice sounded, answering her question. Yatogami Tohka turned around and looked.

A boy of about twelve or thirteen answered her questions while sorting books. The boy had light golden hair that reached his shoulders and wore a white robe. He looked handsome and cute. Yatogami Tohka had never seen this boy before.

But, somehow, he looked familiar.

But no matter what, everything that happened now was beyond her control. The Divine Power Spirit Armor and the Sandalphon appeared on her body, and she pointed the tip of the sword at the boy not far away with a vigilant look. "Haha, I didn't recognize you after all, but it's true, you seem to have never seen me before." Putting the last book into the books Spirit, the boy patted the dust in his hands and looked at Yatogami Tohka with a smile, "My name is Suowong·Kandel, welcome to my consciousness."
