"The erosion... stopped?" Xiu Yuan stared at his reflection in the water, touching his cheek in astonishment.
Ever since he had last removed his mask and seen what he looked like, Xiu Yuan had never taken it off again.
This time, he had removed it expecting that he had probably turned into a monster completely, only to discover that the erosion on his face looked exactly as it had several years ago.
At the rate the Abyss had been eroding him before, his entire face should have become hideously ugly and distorted by now.
Xiu Yuan quickly stripped off the black coat covering his entire body. He suspected that the Abyss's erosion had spread into his body rather than across his face.
Only after he had taken off all his clothes did he discover that his body had not suffered any erosion either.
It was only then that he remembered the voices of the karmic debt he had heard within him back then.
"Could they really have dealt with the Abyss inside me!?" Xiu Yuan murmured in surprise.
If so, perhaps they had already solved one of his greatest problems.
That meant that after he completed this life's mission, the Abyss lingering on the surface of his body would be reset as well. With no more Abyss eroding him from within, he would no longer have to fear returning to their side.
[What a slippery bastard. He gave up on eroding him just to stay alive, and now he keeps hiding.]
[Sooner or later, he won't be able to hold back. That day will be the day he dies!]
