Chapter 269: Vol3 Ch69: Flower of unknown name (1)

Seven days later.

Chromie disembarked a horse carriage with several Saint Hunters by his side.

He was currently wearing a black trench coat and a black piece of cloth over his eyes, which occasionally would give off some faint beating blue light.

Chromie’s return to his position was extremely simple. He only needed to undergo some procedural questioning and report what happened in the underground, after which he swiftly resumed his post.

He inadvertently stroked the Moonlight Ring on his hand, this ring that managed to conceal his sister’s awakened blood of evil even before it was repaired.

And now that it had been repaired by Pernod, its camouflage abilities had been greatly bolstered, completely concealing Chromie’s half-elven characteristics to allow him to act human.

Many years ago, when the elves lost the war, to preserve the elven bloodline, quite a few elves had disguised themselves and hidden among humans, the Farnate family being a particularly influential one among them – being the keeper of elven history. This ring was made at the time to ensure that they were not discovered.

However, Chromie had still been anxious for a while due to Eternal Heat’s descent upon the world, although he still hadn’t shown any movements since the descent.

Most likely, he noticed the Dim Silence Envoy’s reappearance.

Chromie was still quite unclear about what role Eternal Heat played during the previous transgressions.

He took quite a bit of time moving around the underground ruins, then wasted more time reporting various matters to the church. At this point, Counier’s side had sent news that Olga’s body was already on the verge of breaking, and he needed to rescue her soul as soon as possible.

Is this the place?

Chromie observed the building, a very mundane building with several small animals who took notice of him.

Extracting the souls of small animals from their bodies, then controlling those animals through it. When necessary, the animals can even be forced into a frenzy by stimulating their souls.

The beating blue flames under Chromie’s covered eyes allowed him to easily discover the mastermind behind these animals.

The reason why they chose animals is that compared to humans, animal souls are much easier to control.

Chromie’s gaze became blank for a brief moment as if realizing something.

Without any words, Chromie’s body became intangible. The sprout of the Moon Tree retrieving the authority over the aspect of silence allowed Chromie a high degree of control over it.

“Do you think that Chromie is really going to come? It’s been so many days already” Fye sat with his back leaning on the side of the fireplace’s chimney, asking his younger brother Luo in a low voice.

While the two of them appeared to be teenagers, they were in fact actually over 40 years old. After all, if not to obtain a younger body, why would they have pledged their allegiances to that personage?

“Maybe he’ll come, maybe not, what difference does it make? He’s going to fail the rescue either way” Luo casually answered, then suddenly frowned: “Something’s happening”

Before the two of them could even react, Chromie abruptly jumped out from another aspect of reality, swinging the sword in his hand towards the pair of brothers.

The life and soul linking substance was the key for a soul to control the body. By having a grasp over this key, the soul would have perfect control over the body, perhaps pushing it even further, using the soul to interfere with the body and cause it to change. Controlling animals were nothing but an application that this pair of brothers liked to use.

As soon as Fye and Luo noticed the danger, they immediately reacted accordingly. Luo’s soul instantly took control of his body, his muscles greatly became bulked up and instantly grew by 1 meter, his muscles also turned a steel-like color.

The blade of the sword felt like it had hacked into a slab of rubber, unable to cause any further damage despite cutting through the surface.

On the other hand, Fye also used his soul to directly transform his body, rapidly shrinking down while his bones protrude outwards, ultimately turning into a large, pale-white bone club.

The older brother Fye’s main research was in the transformation of his body as a whole, combining with basic physical alteration, he was able to transform into various weapons. While the younger brother Luo’s main research was the control of his muscles, which allowed him to turn himself into a muscle giant when necessary.

Having turned into a giant, Luo grabbed the large bone club and swung it towards Chromie. Sparks flew as the bone club clashed against the sword. Luo’s gigantic body and Fye’s bone club had telepathic communications, so as soon as the weapons clashed, several ribs grew from within the boney exterior to grab the blade of the sword, which then further unleashed huge strands of muscles to envelop the entire sword.

“Let go!” Luo howled as he exerted his gigantic strength and swung the bone club down on Chromie.

“Sword of Tranquility” a flicker of blue flames appeared around Chromie’s body, the sword in his hand began to grow intangible, turning into a blurry shadow that escaped from the bone club’s bindings, then abruptly returned to tangibility after it passed through the bone club.

The club was instantly broken in half, blood spilt from among the fragments of bone, revealing an eyeball with a fearful look.

One could change a lot in just three days, let alone a month. Although Chromie hadn’t devoured the Dim Silence Envoy’s vast amount of warped mana and his soul, the aspect of silence authority he obtained was already a considerable level of power.

The Sword of Tranquility technique turned his sword intangible before turning it tangible again. This worked on the principle of putting his sword into another aspect of reality where everything could be cut, which essentially gave it the same effects as a spatial severance attack.

The halved bone club continuously writhed, turning back into a sweat-soaked Fye who was missing one calf. If he didn’t notice anything amiss and hurriedly moved most of his crucial organs away, he wouldn’t have only lost a few ribs and one calf.

“So you’re still alive? What a troublesome ability” Chromie wielded the sword in one hand, the night breeze causing his trench coat to flutter. The further his eyes managed to analyze their abilities, the more he couldn’t help but praise how powerful the ability was.

By using the soul to control one’s body, numerous unthinkable feats would be possible. Fye and Luo had merely learnt one or two of them each, as their souls were insufficient to support any further modifications. This meant that they had no choice but to be extremely proficient in the few that they could perform.

“Then, how powerful would the mastermind behind you be?” Chromie’s sword became intangible once more.

Fye and Luo exchanged glances, then Luo took a single step forward, causing the ceiling to instantly crumble and collapse by itself. Shielding Fye with his body, Luo then rolled down into the house’s basement. Chromie’s body instantly became intangible as well, unaffected by the collapsing roof as he pursued the two of them.

The dim rooms didn’t prove to be any trouble for the current Chromie, and since the house itself wasn’t particularly big, it didn’t take even a full minute for Chromie to catch up to Fye and Luo down to the basement.

They were currently prostrating in front of a bed, completely ignoring Chromie’s pursuit, while Olga’s soul shackles were hanging from the edge of the small bed.

“I knew they wouldn’t be able to win against you” a hand reached out to push the veil of the bed away.

Chromie’s lips twitched, the sword in his hand subconsciously lowered down. Even though he had already expected this, he still wanted to delude himself before the truth fully revealed itself.

“After all, you’ve always been someone prone to creating miracles, haven’t you?” behind the veil sat a woman wearing a light blue dress and a yellow wide-brimmed hat, just like before, smiling at Chromie with an expression of love enough to melt anyone.
