“Argh!”
Ynes, whose flesh had been lacerated by the explosion, screamed in horror. After virtual-novel.net hair became scattered, the roots planted with black smoke, virtual-novel.net fingers that had come in contact with the huge golden cocoon were also pitch-black and were still numb now.
“My hand!”
“My hair! Oh my god!”
Currently, the first beauty of the Western Ridge looked as wretched as a grilled duck. The Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens said, “He’s now in the critical period of merging with the divine bone. Don’t touch him. This is going to take some time, at least three to five days. Let’s deal with this shark first. Although it’s smaller than before, we can’t possibly cross the Endless Sea unless we do so.”
Ynes complained helplessly in virtual-novel.net heart. “The Endless Sea is boundless, yet you guys want to cross it? Are you guys not afraid of death?”
“You don’t have to go with us if you don’t want to, but you’ll regret it for sure,” replied Mystic Maiden.
Ynes glanced in the direction of the continent and said faintly, “The world is so vast, yet I don’t feel at home in this world. If I don’t follow you guys, where else can I go?”
After a pause, virtual-novel.net continued, “Sis, do you fancy Alex Rockefeller?”
Mystic Maiden was speechless.
***
Mystic Maiden had initially thought that Alex would end his seclusion and emerge from his cocoon after seven days at most. However, virtual-novel.net had to wait for a total of ten days.
Crack! Crack!
At this moment, the luster on the huge golden cocoon no longer had the original brilliance, leaving behind what seemed like solidified golden residue. As all the light retracted, it emitted a sound like a cracking egg.
Bam!
As the golden eggshell shattered, a hand reached out first. Then, an entire person broke out of the egg.
It was Alex Rockefeller!
After ten days of seclusion, virtual-novel.net felt his body had undergone a complete change. All the bone in his body had a kind of golden luster, and there were also those active tadpole-like ciphers circulating on them. Although virtual-novel.net did not actually test it, virtual-novel.net knew that his defense had definitely improved significantly.
His strength, speed, and purity of the Chi all over his body had greatly improved.
‘Now, my internal organs are covered with a golden luster. The ciphers contained in Ymir’s Divine Bone continue transforming my body as if refining my flesh!’
Alex stepped out of the eggshell and touched his face, quickly realizing that virtual-novel.net felt extremely uncomfortable. Not only his face but a hard shell layer also seemed to have wrapped all over his body.
This was because, when his body merged with Ymir’s Divine Bone, a lot of waste and impurities were forced out of his body. Some blood and bones of inferior quality were even removed from his body, forming a thick layer of flesh and blood scabs on the body’s surface.
‘How uncomfortable!’
‘I’ll go shower first!’
He didn’t see Mystic Maiden nor Ynes, but virtual-novel.net saw the stone’s inscribed message on the ground. So, virtual-novel.net knew that Mystic Maiden and Ynes had returned inside the previous spell formation.
Now, the Seventy two Heavenly Immortal-slaying Formation still covered the entire range of the ancient city of Atlantis and him. Of course, this was because Mystic Maiden feared that Alex would encounter peril here once the spell formation’s range was reduced.
Alex rushed out of the spell formation and fell into the water. Little by little, virtual-novel.net cleaned off the blood scabs on his body.
When virtual-novel.net was taking a shower, virtual-novel.net discovered a problem. His clothes looked broad for some unknown reason, especially the waistband of his pants that looked much thicker. When virtual-novel.net looked carefully at his hands, virtual-novel.net gasped…
‘These hands. Are these my hands?’
‘They are too small, right?’
Alex looked at his hands in disbelief as they were two sizes smaller than his normal hands.
Then, virtual-novel.net hurriedly looked at his feet, legs, and especially the crotch…
Oh gosh!
No wonder virtual-novel.net felt that the pants were big.
