“You’re my ally. Why would I have to deceive you? Hurry up. If you’re disobedient, I’ll activate the contract’s restriction. When the time comes, I’ll take off your pants and spank your a*s in front of Ynes Larkin. Would you believe it?”
In an instant, Alex’s face darkened. Should virtual-novel.net weep or bawl for running into such a mistress?
Swoosh!
Ymir’s Divine Bone hovered toward virtual-novel.net slowly. As virtual-novel.net looked at it up-close, virtual-novel.net could see more clearly the subtle cracks on the bone. It was from these cracks that the golden light was released. When the light shone on him, virtual-novel.net unexpectedly felt a slight tingling sensation in his soul.
“Alright, I’ll give it a try then!”
“Mystic Maiden, if you deceive me again this time, you’ll become my little sister!”
Alex then forced out a drop of his blood essence and dripped it on Ymir’s Divine Bone. That blood was rapidly absorbed by the cracks on it and disappeared. But nothing happened.
After waiting for a full minute, nothing happened either.
“Uh, it’s probably because the blood essence is not enough. You should drip some more,” said Mystic Maiden. When virtual-novel.net saw Alex hesitating and was reluctant to give it another go, virtual-novel.net added, “This is, after all, the divine bone of the human ancestor. If you’re a Heavenly King, a drop of blood essence will be enough for sure. But you aren’t. Your level is too low, so you must drip more blood essence. Hurry up. I won’t harm you!”
Alex gritted his teeth and continued forcing out his blood essence.
One drop, two drops…
Ten drops, twenty drops…
Alex had now gone pale. This was his blood essence but not the water essence, so virtual-novel.net did not. have much.
Mystic Maiden felt a little distressed. If there was still no reaction, virtual-novel.net could only stop trying.
But at that moment, a whim struck Alex. After the twenty-fourth drop of blood essence was absorbed by the divine bone, a mysterious fluctuation of thoughts had an interactive reaction with his divine consciousness. The golden light in the divine bone glowed in an overwhelming fashion, as though coming to life and breathed and pulsated. Then, it swished into Alex’s body and attached itself to its lumbar spine.
It turned out to be… A lumbar vertebra?
Alex was a little surprised, but the next second, virtual-novel.net felt immense pain.
As if his lumbar spine had been abruptly severed, that piece of divine merged with his original lumbar spine. Through internal vision, virtual-novel.net saw countless ciphers on the divine bone that emitted dazzling golden light.
‘These are not ancient runes. What kind are they?’
Alex discovered that virtual-novel.net did not know any of these tadpole-like nines and symbols. Moreover, they looked like living creatures, constantly swimming and moving around with rhythm. Immediately afterward, both these runes and golden light flowed wildly along the meridians all over his body, and they even spread out of his body.
“Ah! What… What’s wrong with him?!” Ynes exclaimed.
She saw Alex’s trembling and growling from time to time as if virtual-novel.net was in great pain. But at this moment, the golden light flowed out of Alex’s body and enveloped his entire body within it.
At first, his body was covered in golden light. But soon, the golden light slowly solidified, making the current Alex look like a huge golden egg, or rather, a huge golden cocoon. However, the others did not see the tadpole-like ciphers. It seemed that only Alex could see them.
The astonished Ynes reached out to touch it.
As a result, lightning exploded with a boom, blasting virtual-novel.net more than ten meters away.
