Its body had become somewhat translucent. Its bones and meridians took on a crystalline quality, like a sky lantern lit on a midsummer night, its bones glowing orange-yellow and its flesh taking on a jellylike texture.
Inside its body, Lin Yi sensed a vast amount of Ashes.
It actually survived bearing Ashes? Is it an "Ashes Apostle" now too? Lin Yi was deeply surprised. That thing had survived bearing Ashes, just like him, and yet... it was somewhat different.
Li Huiyuan gently tugged his hand. "Lin Yi, did you find anything?"
"A few things," Lin Yi said, "but I can't connect them... Never mind it for now. Let's stay here a while and leave once the Grinning Angels are gone."
He did not know why the Grinning Angels had appeared, but their targets seemed to be the Fanatics rather than him.
Whenever a Grinning Angel locked onto him, he would get the feeling that he had been targeted, but that clearly had not happened this time.
Despite what he said, however, he was still somewhat worried. The Weird Art Female Teacher had said that beings who could bear "Ashes" without dying would become "Ashes Apostles," but all "Ashes Apostles" would fight and kill one another.
He was worried that this nonexistent person would suddenly lash out and fight him.
Of course, he was not afraid of a straightforward fight. With his current physique, physical combat was a cinch, but he did not want to waste time at a moment like this.
Besides, he had no experience fighting "Ashes Apostles." If the other party was an unkillable cockroach like him, he could think of no way to fight it other than dismembering it.
And as for dismemberment... how could that thing possibly stand still and wait for him to do it?
