Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 393 - Chapter 393 Chapter 393 Soul Separation

Chapter 393: Chapter 393: Soul Separation Chapter 393: Chapter 393: Soul Separation By the time they saw Stephen, it was already dusk.

He was a frail, pale-faced young man.

He seemed spirited, even excessively excited, showing indifference to the inquiries of Roger and Henrik and others.

All he talked about were the famous nightclubs of Mist City or scandals of some celebrities.

They obviously couldn’t use the same rough approach with him as they had with Forbes.

In fact, the Axis Dharma Seal had a significant impact on the minds of ordinary people, and this type of seal could not completely eliminate the traces of the spell, causing people whose behaviors were influenced and thoughts were controlled to recall some of the abnormalities that had occurred to them once the seal’s effect ended.

Moreover, it was quite easy to cause some harm to the mentally fragile.

Goway carefully checked Stephen’s mental state and physical condition, and to her surprise, there was really nothing abnormal about this young man.

Whether it was the dark energy of evil spirits or cursed items, any of these would leave behind some kind of energy imprint when they exerted influence.

He seemed perfectly normal, but compared to his nighttime abnormalities, things became even more mysterious.

Roger also employed his Hunter Vision, and under the stare of his yellow, clear vertical pupils, the coldness that emanated from Roger’s eyes quickly calmed down Stephen’s restlessness.

In his gaze toward Roger, there was even a vague sense of awe.

“We have no other choice, we can only analyze based on the abnormalities exhibited at night,” said Roger.

The three of them had no better ideas.

Indeed, such a situation was quite rare.

Henrik had spent a long time in a low-tier Demon Hunter state and had witnessed many transcendent incidents, big and small.

And Roger, needless to say.

As for Goway, growing up in a Secret Blood Family with its rich collection of books and family records, her knowledge far exceeded that of her peers.

But even so, the three of them working together still couldn’t detect any abnormalities on Stephen.

Since Roger and his companions could easily subdue Stephen, they did not bind him to a bed before sunset this time.

Instead, they let him wander around the manor.

Time slipped by, and as the sun dipped below the horizon, the last glimmer of light disappeared, and Stephen, who was wandering the grounds of the manor, suddenly stiffened.

Three breaths later.

When he raised his head again, his face abruptly changed.

His rapid breathing, panicked gaze, and trembling hands betrayed his current state of mind.

His shoulders slumped down, and he curled up into a ball.

Occasionally, when he lifted his head, the movement was extremely minor, as if he were trapped in a narrow space and could only observe his surroundings from a special angle.

The three watched for changes in Stephen’s face and fluctuations in the energy around his body.

Over the next several hours, Stephen maintained the same position without moving an inch!

This was almost impossible for an ordinary person, especially since Stephen’s posture was twisted and bizarre.

It seemed not so much that he was acting on instinct, but rather that the spatial constraints around him forced him to exist in his current posture.

Dong dong dong!

The sound of the midnight bell came from the direction of Mist City.

The hands of the clock reached 12.

The moment the bell sound faded, Stephen let out a heart-wrenching scream, and immediately afterward, his body rose into the air at a strange angle.

It felt as if someone was pulling at him, yanking him out from somewhere.

“Smack!”

Stephen fell to the ground, and it was evident that his whole body was shaking, and he was struggling, but the angles at which he struggled were very limited.

The screams grew louder and louder, and countless beads of sweat streamed down; he seemed to be enduring unimaginable agony.

“Help him, please help him!”

Veronika’s hands were intertwined.

Roger and his companions didn’t act rashly; they had to identify the true cause during this process, otherwise, Stephen’s previously endured pain would be meaningless.

Roger suddenly frowned.

“Strange, something seems to have disappeared from him.”

“You sensed it too?” Goway glanced at Roger, “It looks like it wasn’t my imagination.”

Goway then seemed to discover something; she stepped forward and clapped her hands violently, a flash of green light passed, and Stephen’s clothes instantly turned into a puff of ash.

Countless black and crimson runes appeared on his naked body.

These runes swam like tadpoles, then converged at the center of Stephen’s chest.

“Why didn’t you tell us such important information before?” Goway turned and glanced at Veronika.

But Veronika’s eyes were also wide, “No, this is the first time I’ve seen this happen!”

Everyone’s expressions immediately turned grave; when a ritual or a spell changes, it signifies entering a completely new phase.

This wasn’t good news for them.

“It’s the soul, it’s his soul that has changed!” Goway pointed at the pattern converging on Stephen’s chest and said in a deep voice.

“I know where the problem lies now!”

“His soul has been split for unknown reasons, and the part affected is not the Stephen we see, but the part that has been separated!”

“Is such a thing possible?” Roger was somewhat puzzled, “Can a person continue to live with an incomplete soul?”

Goway nodded.

“We cannot equate our understanding of the body with that of the soul; limbs, facial features, torso, each part exists separately, they come together to form our body.”

“But the soul isn’t like that.”

“Its composition is more multidimensional, and even difficult to comprehend.”

“Our written language represents our way of thinking, and the soul is precisely something that modern language can’t describe.”

“If I have to describe it, it’s like the difference between one drop of water and ten drops, but…”

“No.”

Goway still shook her head, “The actual situation is much more complex than that.”

“Stephen must have experienced or encountered something strange, leading to part of his soul being separated.”

“And the part that has been separated occupies a large proportion, large enough to affect his physical body in reality.”

“In fact, even without the changes that come at night, the body loses such a large portion of the soul, it won’t be long before he falls into frenzy and then death!”

“The entire process is very abrupt, almost imperceptible.”

“He might have a unique constitution that has delayed this process, so we have the opportunity to come investigate.”

Goway sighed; however, from the current situation, there wasn’t much time left for Stephen.

“What should we do?”

Roger was also aware of the severity of the situation.

“Try to sever this connection; otherwise, before his soul collapses, he’s very likely to die from being unable to withstand such a level of shock!”

Looking at Stephen, who was convulsing all over, Roger’s tightly knitted brows suddenly relaxed.

“I have an idea!”

He spoke.
