54: Miracle Power

"Clang..."

Red Star was about to mock him when he saw the black hole slowly rise into the air, its opening flipping downward.

[As I write this, I hope readers will remember our domain name, Taiwan Novel Network, which has many books, ƚɯƙαɳ.ƈσɱ for your reading pleasure.]

At the same time, an incomparably powerful suction force suddenly descended upon the two people within the formation.

"Impossible..." Red Star appeared somewhat panicked.

This Secret Formation was bestowed upon him by his Mentor, who had praised his rapid progress.

Once the Secret Formation took effect, it could generate a unique imprisoning force by consuming flesh and blood essence to capture certain special creatures.

If these people hadn't left the Altar so early, he could have found an excuse to activate the Secret Formation once the Calamity Beast appeared and capture it in one fell swoop.

This would have certainly been of great help to his Mentor's research.

Red Star had never considered that the reward bestowed by his Mentor could be fake.

To the point that even now, he was only wondering where exactly things had gone wrong.

The suction force from the black hole in the sky grew stronger and stronger.

The Vice Commander was forced to reverse his breathing technique once again, his entire body erupting in blazing Black Flame.

But the Black Flame provided no resistance whatsoever.

The Black Flame and the suction force seemed completely unrelated; the Black Flame could not resist the suction, and the suction could not affect the Black Flame.

When the Vice Commander saw that the Black Flame around him didn't even show a tendency to drift toward the black hole, he knew he was in trouble.

Judging by his years of accumulated experience, this was not the same thing as the previous absorption of flesh and blood essence.

This suction force was now targeting their souls.

"Where exactly did it go wrong..."

Red Star was still retracing his actions, looking for the point where a mistake might have occurred.

The black hole in the sky rose higher and higher, continuously expanding.

The formation patterns on the Altar seemed to link with it, erupting in a dazzling green light that enveloped the entire Altar.

The Void Spirit on the Altar seemed to sense something and began to crash against the Altar frantically.

Immediately after, the green light on the Altar shot toward the black hole in the sky, and the moment they converged, a violent spatial disturbance occurred.

The black hole in the sky transformed into a Spatial Wormhole.

Ronan looked up and actually saw a magnificent and mysterious Magic Circle inside the wormhole.

The patterns of the Magic Circle were complex, emitting a dazzling green light identical to that of the Altar.

But what shocked him was that in the center of the Magic Circle, an illusory face composed of green light was reflected.

This face had no expression and showed no emotion; as its mouth opened and closed, a large amount of green light scattered from the Magic Circle.

These green lights condensed together, outlining two illusory giant hands.

Subsequently, these two illusory giant hands seemed to come to life, rapidly extending to grab the Void Spirit on the Altar and the Second Young Master, who had just finished recovering his body.

In a flash, the Void Spirit and the Second Young Master were firmly imprisoned.

"Yes, yes. Mentor is reclaiming the Calamity Beast and the Void Spirit. That's right, how could I doubt Mentor? There's nothing wrong with what I did... hahahaha..."

Red Star waved his hands wildly, looking like a madman, completely ignoring that the suction force applied to him had grown heavier once again.

"You idiot! If this continues, we're all going to become energy consumables!"

The Vice Commander looked anxious but was powerless, only able to hope that Red Star had some solution.

But seeing Red Star's appearance, he had clearly begun to lose his mind.

This was likely a side effect produced when the soul was about to leave the body.

Because the Vice Commander himself also felt a faint tendency toward this.

From the Spatial Wormhole to the illusory giant hands, the suction on the soul had reached another level; he felt he was about to lose his grip.

At this moment, the two illusory giant hands, having imprisoned the Void Spirit and the Second Young Master, began to gradually retract.

The Void Spirit on the Altar struggled, but it was useless.

As the illusory giant hands retracted, the Void Spirit slowly flew toward the Spatial Wormhole.

In contrast, the Second Young Master slumped his bloated body onto the ground, creating a tug-of-war with the illusory giant hand.

Seeing this, the illusory face in the Magic Circle turned to look at the Secret Formation on Red Star's side.

In an instant, the suction of the Secret Formation surged unprecedentedly.

The Mercenary Vice Commander, who had been struggling to hold on, completely lost his resistance.

His soul, with a dull expression, was pulled out from the top of his head.

Similarly, Red Star's soul also left his body, regaining his senses and waking from his madness.

When he realized he had become a spirit form and was about to be absorbed as energy consumables, he roared in terror:

"Why is it different? Mentor, you can't do this to me..."

Compared to Red Star's hysteria, the Vice Commander had remained in a daze ever since his soul was detached.

"Let go of me, I am the noble... Mentor..."

The two inside the Secret Formation flew toward the Magic Circle, one silent and one shouting; before Red Star could even finish his sentence, both were swallowed in one gulp by the illusory face.

With the souls of these two as supplements, the illusory giant hands extending from the Magic Circle became more solid.

Even the intensity of the Void Spirit's struggle lessened significantly, and it was pulled directly and accurately into the Magic Circle.

And for the Second Young Master still resisting on the ground, there were faint signs that his soul was about to leave his body.

"We have to leave here quickly."

Ash Leaf shouted to Ronan.

At this moment in the square, only the heavily injured Evil Axe and the two of them, she and Ronan, who were completely drained of combat power, remained.

She had no time to grieve for Red Hammer's death; she hoisted the unconscious Evil Axe onto her back, supported the exhausted Ronan, and prepared to choose a nearby tunnel to hide in, away from the eerie scene in the sky.

However, the illusory face in the Magic Circle seemed to have gained its own consciousness; seeing that it could not budge the Second Young Master's soul, it actually treated the entire square as energy consumables.

Ash Leaf suddenly found an inexplicable suction force on her body, and her face instantly darkened.

"Run!"

In an instant, the remaining Polluters in the square collapsed in droves.

From their asphalt-like bodies, wisps of blue smoke continuously drifted out.

Seeing this, Ronan couldn't help but think of Shield Mountain; Shield Mountain's soul had existed in the temple in this same manner.

From the looks of it, these should be the souls of the Polluters.

The blue smoke continuously flew into the Magic Circle, and the pulling force of the giant hand acting on the Second Young Master became increasingly brutal.

Relying on the souls of the many Polluters in the square, the illusory giant hand gained a complete advantage over the Second Young Master.

At this moment, the suction on Ronan's group of three also grew larger and larger.

Ash Leaf no longer had the strength to carry Evil Axe while supporting Ronan.

She lay prone on the ground, feeling herself gradually losing control over her body.

Having witnessed the process of the two in the Secret Formation being sucked out of their souls, now that it was Ash Leaf's turn, an unprecedented desire for survival exploded in her heart.

"No! I can't die like this..."

She looked at Ronan, who was slumped on the ground beside her, screaming inwardly,

At least... at least I have to get him out of here!

...Ronan had actually relaxed the moment he realized the suction was targeting souls.

With the Godhead presiding over his soul, he could almost ignore all external threats.

Sure enough, the moment before the suction could budge his soul, it was instantly dismantled and dissipated into nothingness.

But this only worked for Ronan himself; it couldn't be applied to Ash Leaf and Evil Axe.

Just as he was failing to find a way and was thinking about whether to use his last 1 point of wish power to take a gamble,

Ash Leaf suddenly pulled him onto her back.

"Hold on, White Night, you have to survive!"

She somehow produced a surge of strength, and her loosening soul became stable in an instant.

Her face was covered in tear tracks as she recklessly carried Ronan on her back, dragging her heavy steps toward the nearest tunnel opening, one step at a time.

At the same time.

A piece of information that only Ronan himself could see flashed before his eyes.
