Village Head's Debauchery

Chapter 1126: The Essence Of The Spawn

Orion, Aurora, Fifi, Iris, Former Village Chief Brane, and Chieftess Zara felt their bodies shift as they walked through the spatial rift. Soon, they reappeared above a vast, endless blue

ocean.

Orion remembered where the Morphic Puppet had encountered the Vylkrspawns and could have used his gift to bring them there instantly. However, he chose not to. He wanted to take this opportunity to see if he had missed anything.

“Let’s go,” Orion said, leading the way.

Aurora stayed beside him, her senses sharp, ready to detect any danger before it could emerge.

The others, clad in their bronze armour, followed closely behind.

As they slowly approached the island’s direction, Orion and the others noticed bubbles beginning to form on the water’s surface.

Orion nodded at Aurora and the others, signalling them to prepare.

This was the same scene he had witnessed through Morphic Puppet’s shared vision before the grotesque Vylkrspawns attacked it.

Soon, a figure surfaced briefly before submerging again as if observing its surroundings.

Orion and the others saw the entity clearly.

It was a Prismerion Vylkrspawn with four arms, two legs, and hardened skin that was a mix of inky black and pale tones!

Iris controlled her emotions, ensuring they wouldn’t interfere with the mission.

Suddenly, the Vylkrspawn leapt from the water, hurtling toward them.

However, before it could get any closer, it froze mid-air and exploded, disintegrating into nothingness.

Moments later, two more Vylkrspawns emerged from the water, only to meet the same fate.

Countless bubbles filled the water’s surface below, indicating more Vylkrspawns lurking beneath.

Aurora soared forward and summoned her sceptre. She gently tapped the sceptre against an invisible barrier in the air, casting her Divine Skill.

Eternal Chaos Legion!

Boosted by the immense power of her sceptre, the Divine Skill summoned an innumerable horde of headless winged spawns that dived into the ocean.

BANNGG! BANNGG!

Explosions erupted on the water’s surface, one after another. The countless bubbles began to subside.

Within minutes, the water grew calm again as the last bubbles vanished.

The headless winged spawns returned, breaking down into Vylkr energy, which Aurora absorbed to replenish her power as if she hadn’t cast any Divine Skill. The excess energy was stored within her scepter.

One remaining headless winged spawn hovered in the air, holding a Vylkrspawn in its elongated limbs and tendrils.

“I decided to capture one so we could get a closer look at what they are,” Aurora said, glancing at Orion.

They had never been able to examine a Vylkrspawn up close, as their previous encounters had been too chaotic. They couldn’t investigate the one in Ilse’s grasp either, as it would have been inappropriate.

She figured this was the perfect opportunity to see if they could uncover something worthwhile.

Orion nodded. He had been thinking the same thing and was glad he and Aurora were on the same page. Dissecting the monstrosity of a child in front of its creator would indeed be a bad idea.

“Can you sense anything strange within it?” Orion asked.

“Yes, I can. Although it’s not on par with the Vylkr spawns we encountered with Divine Capabilities, it still has the same aura,” Aurora replied. “I can sense a huge concentration of Vylkr energy flowing in one place.”

The tendrils of the headless winged spawn transformed into a claw that tore open the chest of the restrained Vylkr spawn, exposing a small inky-black organ shaped like a heart, with countless strands of Vylkr energy swirling around it.

Orion looked at the beating heart with a pondering expression.

It was tainted with Vylkr energy. He, too, possessed a heart filled with Vylkr energy that grew stronger by the second, but it had never manifested like this.

Was this the reason the Prismerion had transformed into a Vylkr spawn?

The others observed as well, each lost in thought.

“Its life force seems to be entirely connected to that heart. So, if we remove it…” Aurora said, reaching out to grasp the heart and tear it from the Vylkr spawn’s chest. As she held the throbbing heart suspended above her palm, the Vylkr spawn’s body destabilised.

In an instant, the Vylkr spawn disintegrated into thin air.

“…It collapses,” Aurora said.

Despite the body no longer existing, the heart beat fiercely in her grasp.

“There’s something strange about this heart. It feels… alive,” Aurora said, furrowing her brows in deep thought.

“What do you mean by ‘alive’?” Orion asked, frowning. They still hadn’t uncovered the nature of the Vylkr spawns, so they had no idea what to be wary of.

“I can’t explain it fully yet, but if I have more time, I might be able to uncover whatever’s hidden inside,” Aurora replied. She glanced at her spawn and then at the inky-black heart suspended above her palm.

She opened her hand wider and stretched it forward, allowing the small, inky black heart to settle in the centre of her spawn’s chest.

“Be careful with it,” Orion warned.

Aurora nodded, indicating she had everything under control.

spawn and began to beat heavily.

The inky black heart was absorbed into the headless Suddenly, the headless winged Vylkr spawn’s previously unstable form started stabilising. The excessive Vylkr energy radiating from it was sealed, making its form more solid.

The astonishing transformation unfolded before Aurora, Orion, and the others.

“They are merging. It’s become independent, drawing on its own immense energy to stabilise its form. Now, I no longer need to feed this spawn with my energy,” Aurora explained, her

voice tinged with shock and astonishment.

Orion and the others were stunned by her words.

“Does this mean the heart is responsible for the Vylkr spawns’ transformation?” Brane asked, his tone solemn.

“I’m not certain, but it could be one of the factors,” Aurora responded, her expression deep in thought. She gently tapped her sceptre in the air, and the spawn disintegrated, vanishing into thin air along with the heart, stored in a separate space.

She could now create her personal pocket space, even though it wasn’t as vast as this pocket dimension or Ilse’s Golden Palace.

“I’ve stored it away to study later. We don’t want to interrupt our mission now,” Aurora said. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Orion wasn’t concerned about leaving the strange heart in Aurora’s care. He trusted her judgment and abilities.

“Does anyone else find it strange that we haven’t encountered any Vylkr vines since we arrived?” Iris asked, her expression solemn. As the only one unable to utilise Vylkr’s energy,

she was susceptible to its presence.

Orion nodded and replied, “I noticed that, too. Maybe we must go beneath the ocean to discover why we haven’t encountered anything. But let’s reach the island first and see if we

can still find that thing.”

The others nodded in understanding, and, following Orion’s signal, they held each other’s

hands.

Orion swiftly activated his gift, and they vanished from their position with a powerful streak

of lightning.

They reappeared on the sandy island within seconds and released each other’s hands. Orion scanned the area where he had previously encountered the enormous Vylkr spawn. He was curious to see if the Vylkr spawn had the same heart as the smaller one they had captured.

Unfortunately, several minutes passed, and they didn’t encounter anything unusual. Not even a Vylkr spawn emerged from the water to attack them.

“Let’s go down,” Orion said, deciding it was time to investigate the vast ocean below.

Fifi nodded and soared to the front of the group.

“I’ll lead the way,” Fifi said, stepping on the water. It rippled and split apart, forming a

protective oval-shaped dome around them.

Without hesitation, they slowly descended into the water.

The water couldn’t penetrate the oval-shaped dome around them. As they dove deeper, they

could see the remains of Vylkr spawns scattered across the ocean floor.

Forty minutes later, they uncovered several distant noises, like the sounds of an ongoing

battle. The ripples from the clash spread through the water, reaching Fifi and the others.

“It seems we’re finally making progress,” Fifi said, propelling the sphere of water toward the source of the sounds with astonishing speed.

Orion narrowed his gaze forward. Although he hoped for signs of life within the pocket

dimension, he couldn’t help but remain sceptical.

The worst-case scenario would be that they were wrong, and the noises were just from several

groups of Vylkr spawns. The best case would be finally encountering life, regardless of race.

The others shared similar thoughts, eager to discover which race they would encounter within

the pocket dimension.

Despite the dense darkness growing as they descended deeper, their vision remained clear,

allowing them to observe their surroundings.

…

Deep beneath the ocean, numerous Vylkr spawns scattered around, attacking multiple individuals. Some Vylkr spawns resembled the Prismerions, while others had a grotesque yet

human-like appearance.

There were also Vylkr spawns resembling tree nymphs and others with humanoid upper bodies and lower bodies with tails resembling fish. Some had more grotesque beastly appearances, others resembling spectre-like beings, and smaller unknown hordes of Vylkr

spawns.
