The Terrifying Transformation of the Threads of Sin
Deep beneath the Alon Island, Gogirde finally reunited with the remaining four members of the Phantom Evil Silk Guild.
At this moment, Gogirde had exhausted all his efforts to escape, collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. His face was paler than ever before, but a smile was still on his lips.
He... is finally saved!!
Those two damn bastards are waiting; he's going to kill them.
Inside the underground space, Gar, whose face always wore a sickly smile, quietly approached. "Hehe, Guild Master, I secretly saw it, they beat you up pretty badly!"
"Gar, how could the guild leader have been beaten so badly? He was practically beaten to death!" Gadon, who looked exactly like Gar, picked his nose and joined in the mockery.
Lying on the ground, Gogirde glanced at the two brothers. Were they having another episode of their SM syndrome?
The Threads of Sin, clutched in Gogirde, suddenly grew larger, longer, and harder.
Under the brothers' longing gazes, the whip-like Threads of Sin rose high and then lashed down on them.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Oh, brother, this is the taste! It feels so good!"
"Hehe, little brother, I think I see Mom!"
The pain from the trauma brought the two brothers together in a tight embrace, filled with emotion and contentment, tears streaming down their faces.
The others, unfazed by the sight, paid no attention to the two brothers; they would have been surprised if the two brothers hadn't been beaten up by the Threads of Sin one day.
Gar and Gadon are a pair of crazy twins who not only disregard life like their parents, but also have some quirks.
Every day they would pull some trick to get the chairman Gogirde beat them up. According to the two brothers, this was love...
Don't let their eccentricities fool you; they're quite powerful, second only to Gogirde within the Phantom Evil Silk Guild.
"Alright, you two brothers, once you're done having fun, get back to your business."
"Oh!" X2
Gar reached out and took the Threads of Sin from Gogirde. The two brothers walked to the center and slammed their hands together on the floor, causing a deep yellow magic circle to appear.
Sparse sounds suddenly broke the silence of the underground space.
A moment later, the light from the deep yellow magic circle faded, replaced by a deep crater.
A surge of pure magic was continuously emanating from the pit, Gar quickly threw the Threads of Sin into it.
"Hehe, once the Threads of Sin absorbs all the magic power of Alon Island, it will definitely become incredibly strong. Getting hit by it then will feel really good!" Gar wiped his drool.
Try it, you definitely won't die.
Unfortunately, nobody paid him any attention, including Gadon...
All eyes were focused on the small pit, where the Threads of Sin were growing at a visible rate.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
With the infusion of a large amount of magic, the Threads of Sin quickly grew taller than the pit, and then, in this underground space that was half the size of a valley, they grew wildly and unrestrainedly.
It slowly took on the shape of a plant, grew branches, and its trunk began to reach the height of the underground space, touching the dense network of passageways above it.
"Pfft~"
As easily as tearing through a sheet of paper, the trunk of the Threads of Sin broke through the barrier above and continued to grow upwards.
The entire underground space shook violently and trembled, causing rocks and dust to fall.
Gogirde glanced around and calmly said, "Let's go, this underground space is about to collapse!"
Upon hearing this, the brothers Gar and Gadon helped Gogirde and led him toward another passage.
These passages were dug by Gogirde using the Threads of Sin before Hughes arrived.
He had explored the entire Alon Island, all in order to find the source of Alon Island's magic; and the small pit that the Gar and Gadon brothers had just dug was the source of Alon Island's magic.
He had previously instructed Gar and the other three to gradually destroy the island from its four directions underground in order to sever the magic supply chain of Alon Island, so that all the magic on the Alon Island would be concentrated at the magic source.
Gogirde use the magic of the entire Alon Island to help the Threads of Sin break through the limits of life.
As for whether Alon Island would be destroyed and sunk into the sea due to the draining of its magic and the destruction of its underground, Gogirde didn't care at all.
Just two days ago, he slaughtered everyone on the entire Alon Island!
No one was spared, regardless of age or gender.
On the surface of Alon Island, Hughes and Laxus stood at the highest point of the island, observing their surroundings.
Suddenly, Hughes pointed to the right front. This was where they landed on Alon Island, but the area was now a vast ocean... the land had been broken and sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Laxus, standing nearby, frowned and asked Hughes, "Have you noticed that the magic on Alon Island is dissipating?"
The rate at which his magical energy recovered slowed down again. It wasn't that there was something wrong with him, but rather that the magical energy in the air had decreased.
Hughes shook his head. He wasn't a mage and didn't even have a magic source within him, so he couldn't sense the changes in magic power on Alon Island.
At this moment, Hughes wasn't concerned about whether the magic on Alon Island had changed; he was concerned about whether that bastard Gogirde was still on Alon Island. If that piece of trash escaped, who knows how many people he would harm.
Thinking of this, Hughes sighed, "Laxus, let's split up and search!"
"If you spot anything, throw a grenade into the sky, I'll be right there..."
Hughes' words came to an abrupt halt as the entire Alon Island began to shake violently.
The two squinted at the front of them, where a huge black plant was breaking through the soil. It had a long trunk with countless vine-like branches that were baring their claws.
Hughes and Laxus wanted to observe further, but the black plant grew much faster than they had imagined.
In an instant, it rose from the height of the nearby coconut trees to the height of a small hill, and now it is level with them. Keep in mind that the two of them were standing at the highest point of Alon Island.
Even more frightening is that this black plant is still growing!
"Is this the Threads of Sin from Gogirde?" Hughes asked uncertainly.
Laxus observed carefully for a while before responding to Hughes: "Although the patterns on the tree trunk are large, their regularity is the same as the Threads of Sin on Gogirde; it must be it!"
At this moment, the black plant in the distance in Hughes's line of sight stopped growing; it stood still, its sprawling branches drooping to the ground.
But its height far exceeded theirs; Hughes estimated that the summit of Alon Island, where they were, was probably only half its height.
How could it have grown so big in such a short time, in just a few breaths? Didn't Newton and Einstein care?
Oh, right, this other world isn't under their jurisdiction!
Hughes scratched his chin, then flew directly into the air, his body engulfed in flames.
Whether it's the Threads of Sin or not, try it and you'll know!
"Fire Fist!"
With a soft shout, Hughes swung his right arm fiercely, sending a massive fireball hurtling towards the black plant.
"Bang!"
The Fire Fist struck the trunk of the black plant, sending fireballs flying. The black plant, which withstood the attack of Hughes' Fire Fist, remained completely unharmed, without even the slightest tremor.
Upon landing, Hughes clicked his tongue twice. This familiar feeling meant there was no need for further probing; the black plant before him was none other than Gogirde's Threads of Sin.
"This is a bit tricky. Flames and fists aren't working on it!"
As Hughes muttered to himself, a jet-black branch cleaved down from above his head, whistling through the air like the Kikoku or the howling of wolves.
