Seemingly realizing the danger had passed, Liu Chuan withdrew the pink smoke from the Passive Gourd, then staggered to his feet.
Turning to look, he saw Lin Yi kneeling on the ground, coughing up mouthful after mouthful of blood.
Beside him, Shen Chuchu handed him tissues, looking worried that something might happen to him.
Wang Meng had also returned to his normal form, but his back and arms were a bloody mess, covered in bites from the Sandworms beneath the yellow sand.
While fighting the second-stage Man-Dragon at close quarters, he had been pinned straight to the ground.
That was when the Sandworms had attacked Wang Meng.
As for Shen Qingqing, she seemed unharmed. The blood on her clearly wasn't her own.
Judging by her expression, though, she didn't seem to want to approach Lin Yi.
"Lin!"
Liu Chuan hurried over and asked anxiously, "What happened? Where's the Man-Dragon? And the Aberration Symbiote?"
"I... ate him!"
Lin Yi wiped his mouth and dry-heaved before saying, "My new ability as a Sequence Eight [Fallen Death Row Inmate] lets me transform into an Aberration. An Aberration Symbiote counts as an Aberration too, so..."
Although he knew it had been caused by his ability, he had still been the one who transformed into the Aberration Symbiote.
And he had been the one who ate the Man-Dragon Aberration in the end.
Liu Chuan had never expected things to end this way. Lin Yi's Sequence ability actually allowed him to become an Aberration.
He knew all too well how powerful the Man-Dragon was.
He was practically an immortal Aberration.
The more they killed him, the stronger he became. There was simply nothing they could do about him.
Yet Lin Yi had eaten him outright, dealing with this seemingly impossible Aberration in a completely different way.
