Chapter 403 - Chapter 403 Chapter 390 The thing Yin Hui likes to do the most

Chapter 403: Chapter 390 The thing Yin Hui likes to do the most is… (1st update) Chapter 403: Chapter 390 The thing Yin Hui likes to do the most is… (1st update) Yin Hui, in the end, did not get the cup of coffee he wanted, nor did he care much; after all, the beverages in the Holy Spirit lacked any flavor.

Denghis Xisi did not pay attention to Yin Hui’s incessant nagging; he began examining his apprentice’s body upon noticing the boy’s unusual condition.

However, the apprentice named Mica was still sobbing uncontrollably, appearing ready to accept any solution, whether it involved turning himself in to the authorities or resigning to a monastic life as a devout monk.

Not Spirit Magic?

Denghis Xisi checked the status of his apprentice, Mica, and discovered he was not under the influence of any Spirit Magic.

“Mentor, please stop these cruel acts, stop…”

Mica’s confession lasted for several minutes. Suddenly, his body stiffened, then he foamed at the mouth and collapsed to the ground, his body convulsing.

“The erosion of the Black Tide Island… You invaded the core consciousness of Black Tide Island?”

Denghis Xisi lifted his apprentice by the neck and placed his hand on his forehead, trying to alleviate what seemed like epileptic symptoms.

When Denghis Xisi saw the skin on his apprentice’s forehead gradually showing signs of crystallization, eventually forming a layer similar to dragon scales, he instantly understood what had happened.

Yin Hui stared at the convulsing Mica on the ground. To Yin Hui, this situation seemed amiss, indeed he had contemplated completely eliminating these Magic Thieves.

But considering the plot background, the Beheading Squad had eradicated these Magic Thieves’ negative consciousness from the core… At most, it was supposed to make them repent and start anew.

But now, why had these Magic Thieves instead… turned into dragons?

“Damn it!” Denghis Xisi’s Healing Magic was halfway released when he suddenly clasped his left arm and moaned in pain. Eventually, his apprentice Mica began to uncontrollably swell.

After twisting, the apprentice’s body transformed into a dragon-man creature. Yin Hui recalled Mo Shigui mentioning a mission involving Magic Thieves morphing into dragon types…

“Your apprentice doesn’t seem to listen to you very well.” Yin Hui watched as the dragon-man creature roared and charged out of the stronghold’s ruins, his gaze shifting to Denghis Xisi, who was clutching his left arm as if suppressing something.

“Do you really think I have… complete control over that monster? Holy Spirit!”

Denghis Xisi did not pursue the dragon-form Mile. Instead, he approached Yin Hui once again. This time, when he looked at Yin Hui again, one of his pupils had turned crimson red with a vertical slit.

“I currently do not have the ability to master this beast of the Black Tide Island, but like all Island Masters, I’ve constructed barriers in the hive consciousness to resist the wildest parts of the Black Tide Island’s power. But you… you’ve opened a breach!”

Using his now scale-covered left arm, Denghis Xisi grabbed Yin Hui by the collar. He could no longer maintain his earlier composure and politeness; his voice was filled with an indescribable fury.

“This is your last chance! And our last chance as well, Holy Spirit! Hand over Yelena to me! With her, I can fully suppress Black Tide Island… This monster will not reason with you!” Denghis Xisi said.

“You said the same thing three minutes ago, what’s the difference?” Yin Hui asked expressionlessly.

Denghis Xisi, hearing Yin Hui’s response, suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter was audible to every Magic Thief present, even to every player resisting around the throbbing nucleus.

“I know why you Holy Spirits are so… brazen.” Denghis Xisi glared at Yin Hui, “Because in your eyes, all of this is just a game!”

While speaking, Denghis Xisi’s other hand suddenly stabbed into Yin Hui’s abdomen, but no blood flowed out, just dim particles of light.

“You Holy Spirits lack a flesh and blood body, can resurrect countless times after death, and similarly do not feel pain. Hence, even if Biland Island falls, you probably wouldn’t mind because it wouldn’t kill you! Nor would it threaten anything you truly care about! Your friends, your family, they’re not in this world!”

Yin Hui’s expression remained unchanged, a fact that incited rage within Denghis Xisi… The Spirits treated everything in this world with an indifferent ‘whatever’ attitude, even death meant ‘whatever’ to them!

Rage made Denghis Xisi suddenly throw Yin Hui out, and Yin Hui’s body slammed directly into a wall of the ruins before sliding down again.

“Since you knew we couldn’t feel pain, what was the point of torturing me like that?” Yin Hui once again raised his head and spoke to Denghis Xisi.

Denghis Xisi suddenly punched the wall behind Yin Hui, and suddenly the wall behind Yin Hui got activated. At that moment, Yin Hui’s calm expression crumbled, he looked uneasy as he turned his head back.

That was the vibrating nucleus of the otherworldly portal! The portal, which should have been destroyed and in ruins, was activated by Denghis Xisi!

In an instant, the scenery of the Huangpu River of the otherworldly city was displayed before Denghis Xisi and Yin Hui. From afar, Yin Hui gazed at the Pearl TV Tower, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

“This is the world you care about!” Denghis Xisi knelt down and said to Yin Hui, “This is the world where your families, friends, and you belong! Do you think that after Biland Island is devoured by the Shadow Tide, they will leave this world alone? Spirits, this is my last request! Hand over my student Yelena, perhaps Biland Island will be devoured, but I promise they will never touch your world!”

“Really, just by handing over Yelena, the Shadow Tide will stay away from our world?” Yin Hui suddenly asked.

“I swear! You may demand any severe vow from me, all I do is for my students! Your world is not my target!”

“Severe vow, is that the vow of the God of Justice?”

“Exactly.” Denghis Xisi heard a wavering emotion in Yin Hui’s voice, took out a small knife, and made a cut in his palm saying, “I am willing to swear on my life! Just like at the council of gods, you just need to tell me where my student Yelena is.”

“Sounds… quite appealing.” Yin Hui was silent for a moment then lifted his head; Denghis Xisi even released the ropes binding Yin Hui, ready to forge a pact…

“But I refuse!”

However, Yin Hui swung his hand, directly slapping away Denghis Xisi’s arm, followed by throwing a punch toward Denghis Xisi’s cheek.

But Denghis Xisi caught Yin Hui’s fist, slowly twisting his wrist and breaking it.

“Why?” Denghis Xisi’s face was filled with confusion.

“You don’t understand us, we are the players… everything in this world belongs to us! Including Biland Island… and even you!” Yin Hui suddenly headbutted Denghis Xisi’s forehead, making Denghis Xisi stagger under a special force and fall to the ground while Yin Hui swung another terrifyingly powerful fist down.

The impact of the punch dispersed, completely destroying the portal behind Yin Hui and the surrounding bricks.

Hidden Tiger Overlord Fist!

But a ‘MISS’ appeared over Denghis Xisi’s head.

“…You are overly greedy, does your greed imply that we can’t really harm your physical bodies?” Denghis Xisi pressed on Yin Hui’s fist, his other pupil also turning into a golden vertical slit “Don’t underestimate the core consciousness of Shadow Tide, you have invaded its world, and you have become its consciousness already… the Spirits you dispatched are facing the most terrifying moment of their lives, sometimes mental blows are much more horrifying than physical ones!”

“Turning into a horror game, are we?”

Yin Hui knew he could not beat this BOSS, so he gave up and turned his gaze back to Lu Wei’s live stream, where Lu Wei was outside a room in the castle shouting about something, and inside the room was Zhao Mingwei.

The Beheading Squad, after penetrating the Magic Thief’s castle area, was teleported to various locations, with Lu Wei and Zhao Mingwei reuniting, while the other members were still operating individually.

Meanwhile, Lu Wei was trying to rush into the room where Zhao Mingwei was but failed; the core consciousness of Shadow Tide had already infiltrated the castle, transforming into each player’s nightmare confronting them.
