Souls Entwined

Boom!!!

Blood and flesh mingled with the impact, erupting within the confined underground space.

In a split second, Linsey instantly spread out the materials in her bag, forming two walls that sandwiched the tumor between them.

Bang—boom!

This action was quite timely.

The two walls, which were not completely sealed off, sandwiched the tumor in the middle, and the impact of the explosion was directed into a vertical plane.

It looks like a flattened cheese sandwich.

Rotten flesh and blood splattered out from between the two walls, drawing a nauseating straight line through the cave.

The impact of the explosion was mitigated by Linsey's timely reaction.

However, the aura of death within the Revivalist is not included in this category.

This dark and eerie power spread outwards in the form of Essence, and was immediately repelled by the power of Life Source Material the moment it came into contact with Linsey.

However, Hong did not experience the same thing.

The moment this force touched her, it was like a prodigal son who had been away from home for a long time finding his home, and it rushed into Hong's body.

"Well?"

Hong reacted almost instantly.

This Revivalist believed she was being controlled by Linsey, so she resisted by self-destructing.

At the same time, the power of the Revivalist was also introduced into her body.

This is to awaken Red's true self, and to make Linsey, the 'corpse thief,' reap what she sows! "He wants me to recover..."

"Well--"

Before Hong could continue her analysis, she knelt down.

The intense pain resurfaced in my mind.

Moreover, this time, the memory was not activated by Three Pillars Lake, nor was it awakened by familiar things in Crystal Valley.

This is the power of skills that come from the same lineage and origin.

In an instant, the long-buried consciousness began to truly awaken.

The girl covered her head with one hand and braced the other against the wall that Linsey had just raised.

Cold sweat poured from her body, and she began to tremble uncontrollably.

If she started by reviving a corpse.

Then this soul and will can naturally take over the body that originally belonged to her.

But in Red.

Something unexpected happened.

After Linsey rescued her from the bottom of the swamp, the girl did not follow the normal recovery process, but instead regained life as Source Material Lost One.

From her completely blank consciousness, a brand new soul was born.

Moreover, with Linsey's help, he acquired his own Essence! Under the rules of the Awakened.

This is almost a brand new life.

The past consciousness that is now reviving in the red body, although possessing an unparalleled and powerful will, is unfortunately lacking the support of the original Essence power.

Two souls, one new and one old, are entangled together, neither willing to lose itself in submission.

"Ah!"

"Get out of my way—I am the master!"

"Then you try. Don't even think about beating me!"

"Kill! Ahhh!"

Damn it!

"Righteous Walker, you despicable scoundrel!"

A chaotic roar erupted from Red Mouth.

The firelight in the cave seemed to flicker and sway as if the struggle between two souls was taking place.

Snap—

Linsey went around the wall and came to Red.

He placed one hand on the girl's back and began to assess her condition without hesitation.

Humanity: Source Material Lost One / Extinction Crown

This body contains two souls: the soul of a lost soul possessing Source Material Skill and the soul of a powerful being who has lost his power, both vying for dominance over this body.

The specific value depends on who ultimately controls the body.

"..."

"A new soul."

Linsey and Red have come this far on their adventure.

It's impossible for him not to worry about unleashing a Demon King.

Now, product information presents the facts directly to you.

The person he rescued from the dungeon beneath the swamp was not a princess, but a Demon King.

But it was only the other person's body.

The soul that accompanies you on this journey is a brand new life born from a blank body, and is by no means a villain carrying sin and endless evil thoughts.

Linsey didn't hesitate at all when it came to what to do.

Ignoring Hong's pain, he straightened the girl's body, and the two looked into each other's eyes.

Linsey saw it clearly.

Within those familiar, ruby-red eyes, two chaotic consciousnesses are clashing.

One of them is ancient and weathered, filled with indifference and anger towards life.

The other side is naive and impulsive, but filled with an indomitable and determined will to win!

At this moment, Red spoke up:

"Humans..."

The girl suddenly interrupted herself, "Shut up! Linsey, I will never lose, so stay here and watch me!"

The next second, a cold consciousness took over. "Foolish, this body belongs to me, you are nothing but a floating thing born between the ebb and flow of the tide."

She then looked at Linsey in front of her. "Human, I grant you the right to witness this firsthand..."

Buzzing—

The ancient and indifferent voice abruptly ceased.

The sound of a magnetic field confining plasma echoed through the erratic cavern.

The ancient soul looked down at its own abdomen.

She saw a blue beam of light pierce her body, and intense pain and a burning sensation instantly overwhelmed her senses.

The ancient souls had never seen such a weapon before.

But before she could think further, this physical blow had a momentary impact on the struggle between their souls.

Under the interference of pain, the ancient will fell into confusion.

Then, those lustful eyes lit up again, and he was about to burst out cursing. "Linsey, what do you mean by stabbing me, you..."

Before Hong could finish speaking, Linsey immediately interrupted her, "Hong, it might hurt a little."

"But bear with it, focus your mind on your body, that's the only thing I can do for you."

"Huh?" Hong looked completely bewildered.

But Linsey wouldn't miss the chance to let Red's consciousness take the lead.

brush--

In that instant, the lightsaber's light disappeared.

Linsey took out the [Mad Wisdom Wood Core] from her bag and stuffed it directly into the wound that Hong had just been stabbed open.

The moment it came into contact with flesh and blood.

The [Mad Wisdom Wood Core] extends endless roots that spread outwards, eventually merging with the red body. The cry from the item description seems to echo at this moment.

"My instinct is to survive, my will is to fight!"

Immediately afterward, the effects of the [Mad Wisdom Wood Core] in enhancing Constitution and improving self-healing abilities began to take effect. The wound on Red's abdomen, which had just been pierced, was instantly covered by the growing roots and healed in the blink of an eye.

Linsey felt the body she was supporting suddenly become lighter.

The girl nestled in his arms, whispering softly, "Lin... Sai... you... this mess... thing..."

"This is no random junk!"

Linsey interrupted Red.

He gently stroked the other's straight, willow-like back, silky long hair between his fingertips, and Linsey's tone was absolutely certain:

"This is the treasure we obtained after killing the enemy together."

"And this is exactly the kind of time it should be used."
