Chapter 595 A Death That Belongs To The Soul.

"Chi-!"

Amidst the sharp rupture of space, slashes turned into galloping silver flashes within the countless invisible hands that were descending.

"Pu Chi-!"

In the moment of sharp cutting sounds, numerous invisible hands were cleanly cut by the galloping silver light, once again staging a scene similar to the dispersal of darkness, allowing Fang Li, who was holding Emilia, to break free.

"Aaahhh- Aaahhh- Aaahhhh Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh-!"

Watching this scene unfold before his eyes, Petelgeuse, in a frenzy, clawing at his face, tearing it apart and leaving it dripping with blood.

"I see it again! I see it again! Proof of the love the Witch of Envy has bestowed upon me! Unseen hands! Clearly, it's a love that only I can see! Love love love love love love love Aaah Aaah!"

Amidst the hysterical screams, the shadow beneath Petelgeuse burst open, revealing the invisible hands that had hidden the sky and covered the earth, stretching out like writhing, poisonous snakes, leaping and attacking all around.

"Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang-!"

The earth was trampled under the direct impact of the invisible hands bearing terrifying power, crumbling without any suspense, causing air blasts to constantly erupt around it, as if visited by invisible flashes of fire, causing frequent explosions.

"Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pā-!"

Even the trees farther away were attacked, as one by one they were severed and fell to the ground in the frenzied dance of the invisible hands that could not be seen with the naked eye.

In the end, even the Witch Cult surrounding them were swept away one by one by the tornado-like fury of the Invisible Hands.

"Pu chi- Pu Chi- Pu Chi-!"

At that moment, the Witch Cult members were slaughtered one by one, and it looked as if they were thrown into an invisible meat grinder, unable to preserve even their intact corpses as they were instantly torn apart.

Limb fragments filled the entire scene in an instant.

"-!"

Emilia couldn't bear to keep her eyes open any longer.

Fang Li, on the other hand, still held the exhausted Half-Elf girl, navigating through the dense movements of the Magic Hands as if weaving through narrow gaps, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes jumping, sometimes standing still, avoiding each deadly execution.

Caught in such a deadly vortex, Fang Li's expression remained calm, and only a pair of ice-blue Mystic Eyes glittering madly.

While dodging the Magic Hands that could split the ground and kick up dust, Fang Li calmly analyzed the situation.

"Has the number of hands increased?"

Previously, Petelgeuse had used no more than a few dozen Invisible Hands.

Now, based on the number and trajectory of the Death Lines that Fang Li had seen, the number of Unseen Hands used by Petelgeuse had reached several hundred.

"Has he retrieved all the Invisible Hands housed in the other 'Finger' bodies?"

Normally, Petelgeuse would distribute his Invisible Hands evenly and place them in his prepared Finger Bodies.

Now, in response to Fang Li's angry disruption of the process, Petelgeuse had retrieved the Invisible Hands housed in the other 'Finger' bodies, causing the invisible magic hands to number in the hundreds, doubling his combat power.

"Unfortunately, this is also your limit."

The magic called Authority was indeed more terrifying than ordinary magic, both in terms of power and effect, far surpassing ordinary magic.

From this, one could see how powerful the power brought about by the Witch of Envy factor was.

Even if Fang Li were to kill Petelgeuse, that madman could still transfer his soul and possess the other 'finger' bodies.

Facing such an opponent, if one did not know all of his secrets in advance and did not destroy all of the Finger Bodies first, there would be no way to come up with a plan.

However, in the face of this situation, Fang Li still smiled.

"Soul transfer while dying?"

Fang Li had been expecting this opponent for a long time.

After all, the person Fang Li mentioned earlier as being more worthy of observation than Subaru Natsuki was none other than Petelgeuse.

Like Subaru Natsuki, Petelgeuse was also someone who was often accompanied by death.

However, unlike Subaru Natsuki, who relied on "Returns by Death (Shinimodori)" for time reversal and resurrection, Petelgeuse only transferred his soul upon death, using death as an opportunity to inhabit another body and gain a new life.

This was exactly the subject Fang Li had been waiting for.

A person who used death as an opportunity and soul as a means was indeed the perfect observation subject for Fang Li, who needed to uncover the essence of souls that record death.

"Let me see how the death of your soul unfolds!"

With these words, Fang Li's figure moved silently and explosively.

"Zing!"

Star-like fragments blossomed around Fang Li's body and stayed around him.

Fang Li's figure completely transformed into a dazzling beam of light, moving through space at an astonishing speed, skillfully dodging the frenzied attack of the Invisible Hands.

"Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang-!"

Around him, the ground continued to be shattered by the invisible hands, and the impact was still going on.

"Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pā-!"

In the distance, the sound of trees being severed continued unabated.

However, Fang Li ignored all these movements, dodging attacks like flashes of lightning, avoiding attacks, avoiding explosion sites, and ignoring fallen forest vegetation as he charged toward Petelgeuse like a Shippuu Jinrai.

Then, Fang Li's eyes, known as the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, stared directly at Petelgeuse.

"Biri..."

An electric-like sensation surged through Fang Li's nerves.

"Zing..."

The ice-blue Mystic Eyes shone like stars.

Fang Li stared at the madman swinging the Invisible Hands in front of him.

Death Lines entered his field of vision.

But...

"That's not it..."

It was only the death of the person's physical body and life.

What Fang Li needed to see was not so superficial.

Fang Li needed to witness the death of the soul.

"So I need to go deeper..."

Deeper.

Deeper.

Deeper and deeper.

Not looking at the surface but at the depths.

Still deeper.

The deepest.

"Well, with my current abilities..."

I'm sure I can see it.

See the death of the soul.

"Biri..."

The electric-like sensation struck Fang Li's mind once again.

This time, Fang Li finally saw it.

Deep inside Petelgeuse's body, a death line belonging to something with no substantial existence appeared like a child's scribble.

"That's it!"

Fang Li stopped in front of Petelgeuse.

Under the gaze of Petelgeuse's completely unresponsive, still frenzied eyes, Fang Li flashed silently.

The next moment, the sharp dagger plunged into Petelgeuse's body.
