ARC 11: SPRING COMES UPON A WITHERED TREE

Chapter 143

Ivan’s appearance was like an evil spirit while Shang Ke was beautiful to the core. The sharp contrast of ugly and beautiful had a strange sense of harmony and an erotic attraction.

Everyone did not know how “tight” they were with each under due to the clothing hiding it from view. The two of them did not care for their surroundings, completely immersed into their own world.

As the elements poured into Ivan, Shang Ke’s hand was also influenced by the seal. The same snake shaped scar appeared on his right hand and started to wiggle down from the hollow of his palm.

   
“Keke!” Ivan’s eyes constricted in worry.

“It’s fine, don’t worry.” Shang Ke comforted him, “I am trying to strip the phantom jade from your body. As long as it’s successful, the seal will immediately lose its source of power.”

   
“But you…” Ivan looked at the spreading scar on his arm, worry taking over his heart. He did not wish for Shang Ke to bear the same pain he was. He did not know what kind of damage the seal will bring to Shang Ke’s power.

   
“The one in danger is actually you.” Shang Ke sighed, “I don’t know if I can take the phantom jade out of your body while maintaining your safety.”

“Don’t worry about me.” Ivan continued to endure the pain and managed out, “To die by your hands would be my pleasure.”

“I won’t let you die.” Shang Ke quietly promised, as his face became even more gentle.

   
“AHHH…” The pupil of Ivan’s left eye appeared as if it was split open and the bloody red color took over his whole eye. The violent pain tore a scream out of him.

Everyone watching the scene were scared witless by his terrifying face and that eye that was almost tearing itself out of its socket.

The aura of the phantom jade spread out and scraped by everyone’s skin like a knife, sending stabs of pain through them.

   
Some observant people suddenly realized something. Several half-elves before couldn’t resist the phantom jade seal together, yet Shang Ke himself could do it alone. This kind of power, even a great master mage couldn’t compete with him.

Under everyone’s shock, screams came from behind them within the forest followed by flames and metals. The tranquil night was immediately filled with the clamor of a battlefield.

“The specters are here!” A soldier shouted, “Prepare for war, we can’t let them stop the unsealing!”

The alliance was so decisive in trying to deal with Ivan because they were short on time. If they could not undo the seal as quick as possible, they might lose the rare chance forever.

Although they acted pretty fast, the specters were also not slow on the uptake. Right when the seal was about to be undone, over a thousand specters broke through the defensive perimeter of the alliance and intruded the forest like a hot knife through butter.

The alliance soldiers picked up their weapons and bravely charged at their enemies. The cries and shouts of battle and weapons began along with the bright lights of magic.

The alliance used a forceful manner to request Ivan to sacrifice his life, at the same time, they also sacrificed their own life, carrying out their faith.

Within the light where Ivan and Shang Ke were, they heard the disturbance but did not pay attention to it and continued to concentrate on the phantom jade.
