The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 242 - 145: Double Seal Fusion, Doomsday Messenger_1

"Hoo—"

A man and a witch speeding through an underground tunnel.

One relying on Dark Elements, the other on Wind Elements, they appeared as one black and one white intertwined silhouettes.

Of course, Ye Hanjun is going all out, while Huazhu is taking it leisurely, the two had different attitudes.

In about three minutes, a faint and warm breath appeared in their perception.

Ye Hanjun stopped, both eyebrows lifting simultaneously.

——The Little Flame Demon was located two hundred meters ahead.

But there was another creature blocking its path?

Because its aura was too strange, and its form was something they had never seen before.

Ye Hanjun didn’t approach right away, instead, he stuck out half of his head, using The Darkest Demon Eye to investigate ahead.

At the end of the darkness, a cluster of red flame was prominently visible.

It was the young Little Flame Demon, at the Great Completion stage of its clay body, standing only one and a half meters tall.

From the backside, it looked indeed like a burning bear cub, except it had a tail on its back, two curved horns on its head, and a skull without flesh, only filled with blazing fire.

"Roar..."

Its father was killed in battle, its mother sacrificed her life to secure its survival.

The Little Flame Demon was in a state of grief and anger, how could it not be annoyed when its path was suddenly blocked by this strange creature?

Without a second thought, it spat out a fireball.

A bright red fireball, over thirty centimeters in diameter, hot and venomous.

As soon as it appeared, it dispelled the surrounding darkness, aiming straight for the opponent’s head at great speed.

"Boom!"

The fireball actually hit.

The strange creature didn’t move at all, it had no intention of dodging or even adopting a defensive posture.

It swallowed the entire damage of the "fireball," its previously steady breathing now slightly rushed.

"Too light...too light..."

"Heavier! Make it heavier!!"

Amidst the scattering sparks, Ye Hanjun saw the full view of the monster.

It was an indescribable creature that, while humanoid, lacked the slightest hint of humanity.

It stood about 1.8 meters tall, not far off the average height of an adult man.

Two arms, two legs, a head... these structures didn’t appear bizarre.

But it was emaciated and 95% of its skin was wrapped in white bandages, wound around layer upon layer, as tight as could be.

Even its face had bandages tightly wrapped around the upper half. You couldn’t see its eyes, nose, or ears.

The only organs exposed were its lips that were paler and sicker than a human’s.

"Ahhh! It’s too light! It’s too light!"

"Didn’t you eat? Blow me away with your full strength! I want to feel real pain!!"

The monster screamed, every opening and closing of its mouth revealing a row of neat teeth.

It was speaking a human language.

Although it was repeating the same two or three sentences.

But in this deep, dark underground world, the sharp voice, and frantic tone were not only out of place but also extremely jarring.

"Caw—Caw—"

Standing on the bandaged humanoid’s left shoulder was a small white crow.

Its body was tiny, its delicate neck seemed as if it could be easily crushed with a slight squeeze.

But it had three eyes, each one blood-red, exuding a sense of coldness, cruelty, and a shocking humanity.

"Thud thud thud—thud thud thud—"

In the right hand of the bandaged humanoid was a cane.

The cane was black, appearing as if it was a half-rotted wooden stick, seemingly ready to fall apart at any moment.

But when struck against the ground, it produced a muffled, heavy sound, as if striking against one’s chest, thud thud thud.

The nearby Little Flame Demon felt its heart beating unconsciously faster. Its skin was turning from dark red to deep red.

It was somewhat shocked, it had never encountered such kind of enemy before- one which did not dodge, did not defend, and wailed randomly.

But at the moment, it could no longer care about much, another fireball was spit out from its mouth and hit the bandage monster squarely on the forehead.

"Bang!"

A louder explosion.

The explosion of fire shattered layers of white bandages.

Fragments of cotton-like debris flew everywhere, floating and swaying like snowflakes.

However, as the raging fire began to weaken, Ye Hanjun’s pupils contracted slightly.

On the forehead of the bandage monster... was a mess of blood and flesh!

The exposed flesh embedded with tattered bandages was completely charred black.

But what was eerie was that two blasts were not enough to blow apart its head, they only managed to destroy parts of the surface tissue.

The bandage monster was still jumping around, screaming hysterically:

"Pain! It hurts a bit now!"

"But that’s not enough! It’s still not enough! It’s still too light!"

"Go all out! Bombard me! Hammer me! Smash me! Kick me! Hit me! Claw me! Come on, come on, come on!"

"Roar!!"

The Little Flame Demon showed its teeth and stopped ejecting fireballs.

It charged forward, punching the bandaged monster in the face with its flaming fist, sending it flying back five meters.

Yet, the bandage monster stood up within seconds, leaning on its cane, mumbling in its mouth, "Not enough, far from enough."

The Little Flame Demon couldn’t understand the human language.

But it was inexplicably frustrated, and its rage had finally reached a peak.

It once again lunged forward, repeatedly punching the body of the bandage monster with its Flame Punch.

Focusing on the head, then the torso.

In the flickering firelight of the dark world, a relentless string of thumping sounds echoed.
