Death... and me

Chapter 3080  Rogue Runes

Rean used his Light Element to reduce the speed which Uruavis deteriorated but didn't urge Yuan to hurry up. Yuan had to get a full grasp of the method before trying it out, so giving him the necessary time was a must.

Yuan used his own bloodline to practice it. He would draw his blood out and hold it with his Spiritual Sense. Then, he would use the method to absorb it back into his body before repeating the process. That was the easiest way to do it since there wouldn't be rejection issues.

Finally, two hours and something later, Yuan nodded, feeling like he was ready. "Rean, this is it. You made this complicated technique very easy to understand in the instructions. I don't think I can get any better now."

Rean smiled at him. "That's good then. Let's give it a try."

Rean and Yuan approached the Spiritual Prison Sphere. Before Yuan started, Rean used his Spiritual Energy to gather as much Light Element as possible and envelop the Sphere with it. The Charybdis Queen's Soul is trapped inside, and he doesn't know what state she is at the moment. That said, Rean planned to start healing her Soul as soon as a breach appeared in the Spiritual Prison. "Alright, you can start."

Yuan took a deep breath and nodded. He kept himself in his Horned Cloud Shark Form and opened several cut around his body. Back then, Rean made a cut in Foliana's heart so she could absorb the Red Lightning Hawk's bloodline essence. Yuan did the same thing with Rean's help. Not only that, but most of those cuts led to his heart, not just one like Foliana's. It was all according to Roan's method. With Rean there, he wouldn't need to worry about not being able to heal later.

Then, his Spiritual Energy came out, and so did a huge amount of Yuan's own blood. It was a good thing he was a Horned Cloud Shark, which was quite big. He had plenty of blood to use. That blood also enveloped the Spiritual Prison and created a blood connection between Yuan and the Bloodline Essence that was keeping the Prison together.

Finally, Yuan tried to feel the bloodline in the Prison Shell, which created a connection between the two. *zush, zush, zush, zush...*

Rean observed that and noticed that the countless Bloodline runes around the Prison seemed to have felt something. They became agitated, and in a few seconds, they began to leave the Spiritual Prison and rush into the blood that connected Yuan's Heart to the Prison.

Bloodlines Runes began to appear all over Yuan's body. However, even with all the preparations, the Charybdis Bloodline Essence was really strong. Yuan felt like his body was burning, especially his heart, where he received most of it. Rean noticed that and directed some of his Light Element to Yuan, helping alleviate the pain Yuan was feeling. This was a process that would take several hours. Roan altered this method so Yuan wouldn't take more than a few drops to integrate with his body every time. Not to mention Roan only managed to finish revising this method because of Diliy's sudden appearance.

Yuan glanced at Rean and the Light Element entering his body. "Thank you..." he forced the words out.

"Just focus," Rean urged him. "These bloodline runes are not just for show. They should also be the reason the Charybdis Mother's Soul is trapped. Soon, they should start to assault your soul instead, trying to seal it."

Yuan nodded and concentrated as much as possible.

One hour...

Two hours...

Three hours...

More and more Bloodline Essence, as well as Bloodline Runes, entered Yuan's blood. It was then that the balance changed. Some of the runes that hovered over Yuan's body began to rush into his soul, just like Rean predicted.

That balance change happened because Yuan had managed to absorb more than 50% of the bloodline essence comprising the prison. Now, yuan had become the real target, and the remaining bloodline around the Spiritual Prison tried to rush into Yuan's body at once.

"Hmph!" Rean snorted as his hair changed into a mix of Black and White colors. Then, Roan's Dark Element surged forward and entered Yuan's brain together with Rean's Light Element. "I've been waiting to lure you guys out."

Rean didn't know the Bloodline Runes, but he knew the Charybdis Queen Bloodline Essence was being used to form the prison. How could it be possible? That's because some of the bloodline runes on the Spiritual Prison must be acting to make that happen. After all, how could it be possible that the queen's own bloodline was holding her soul in place? Without a doubt, those specific runes weren't from the Charybdis Mother but something the Werdlem Empire somehow injected into her bloodline.

That's what Rean had been waiting for. Once the balance was broken and Yuan got more than 50% of the Bloodline Runes, these runes, which acted to imprison the Charybdis Mother, would change target and try to seal Yuan's Soul instead.

Too bad, though. Rean's Light Element kept Yuan's Soul safe, while Roan's Dark Element destroyed the harmful runes that arrived one by one. Roan's Dark Element didn't have the power to destroyed the Spiritual Prison and all the Bloodline Essence it was made of. But if it was just some specific rogue runes, that wasn't a problem.

*Plac, plac, plac, plac, plac...*

The Bloodline Sealing Runes corroded and exploded like fireworks around Yuan's soul, being completely incapable of causing any issues.

Meanwhile, Yuan focused on the sudden insurgence of Bloodline Essence. Fortunately, Roan's method advised Yuan about this possibility and a way to prevent his body from exploding when that happened. How? Simple! When that moment arrived, Yuan would have already absorbed at least 50% of the Charybdis Queen Bloodline Essence and made it his own. So... he simply used his own Charybdis Bloodline now to control the insurgence.

Between broken bloodline runes and bloodline absorption, the Spiritual Prison quickly disappeared with the rush of bloodline essence going into Yuan's body. Finally, the last bloodline essence drop and rune flowed into Yuan's body, revealing the Charybdis Queen's Soul enveloped in bright Light Element from Rean.

Rean couldn't help but smile. "Time to wake up, mommy."
