Chapter 206: Controlled Heat
"Anan, calm down!"
Seville’s Adam’s apple bobbed violently. His well-defined hand had just touched Su An’an’s shoulder when she threw herself into his arms.
"Seville, I feel so terrible."
The King Blood Beast’s spiritual poison boiled in Su An’an’s veins, scorching her sanity to pieces.
She clung to Seville like a vine.
Her breath, carrying a cloying, milky scent like melted cream, snaked down the tense line of his jaw.
"Resist it!"
Seville grabbed her arms and forcefully pushed her away.
"I... can’t!"
Su An’an broke free from his grasp and, like a kitten, threw herself into his arms again.
The tip of her nose nuzzled the hollow of his collarbone.
A pink halo of light drifted from her hair, like liquid honey, casting them both into a tableau of tangled amber.
Seville’s pupils constricted, and fine, bloodshot veins spiderwebbed across the whites of his eyes. His golden Wings suddenly unfurled, enveloping her.
The holy, golden feathers refracted a bewitching, scarlet light in the ghostly glow of the bone altar.
Within the enclosed space of his wings, the sweet scent of cream and the proud fragrance of snow pine intertwined.
"Seville, help me, please?"
Su An’an’s eyelashes trembled. She cried helplessly against Seville’s chest, her slender ankles hooking around his calves.
Veins bulged on Seville’s arms, but he couldn’t stop the wave of heat from erupting.
His fingers uncontrollably gripped the zipper of her combat suit.
The jumpsuit fluttered to the ground.
It was like unboxing a black velvet cake, revealing its sweet, snow-white cream filling.
The Swan Priest’s hands roamed over the small, cream-filled cake.
His fingertips touched the raised Divine Pattern on the small of her back.
An unnatural, faint light was pulsing from it.
She whimpered, trembling like a rose in the wind beneath his palm, every inch of her skin glowing with a beautiful halo.
Seville suddenly seized her wrists, holding them above her head and completely pinning her within the soft cage woven by his Wings.
Su An’an was like a crumpled flower petal, adrift in the poison-filled mist of the altar.
Her eyes were veiled in a pink mist, and her fingertips unconsciously clawed at the taut muscles of Seville’s back.
The King Blood Beast’s spiritual poison coursed through her veins, scorching her sanity to ash.
Seville’s silver-purple hair was soaked with sweat, his amber eyes completely unfocused.
He mechanically gripped Su An’an’s flailing wrists, oblivious to the fact that the wounds on his own palms were dripping blood.
The King Blood Beast’s poison entangled his nerves like a spiderweb, reducing his every action to instinct.
"CLICK!"
The moment their beast patterns made complete contact.
The bursting Golden Light was swallowed by the thick, poisonous mist.
The seeds that should have been dazzling were like stars falling into the deep sea.
They sank silently into Su An’an’s flat abdomen.
A thin golden membrane quietly formed inside her.
Like the first thread of silk spun by a spring silkworm, it gently enveloped the forming Divine Beast Seed.
When Seville’s bloodstained fingertips brushed across her abdomen, the fleeting golden glint was distorted by the poisonous mist into a hallucination.
Fragmented images flashed through his chaotic mind.
A Divine Beast cub hatching under the moonlight, its small golden wings wet with morning dew, a faint, crying sound!
But the poison immediately shredded these fragments, as if shredding an inconsequential dream.
Su An’an trembled upon his wings, the unfurling of the seed’s meridians within her mistaken for the aftershocks of passion.
"It’s done, it’s done!"
The moment it sensed the Divine Beast Seed had formed, the King Blood Beast let out a crazed, malevolent laugh:
"Once I devour the Divine Beast Seed, I can finally leave this damned Otherworldly Space."
"Then the entire Beast Star will be my hunting ground!"
On the altar, Seville knelt on one knee, holding the unconscious Su An’an.
His silver-purple hair, soaked with sweat, clung to the side of his neck.
His amber pupils were constricting violently, and every breath he took carried the stench of blood.
The King Blood Beast’s spiritual poison was eroding his nerves, but it had unexpectedly shattered the dormant Genetic Lock within him.
His genetics, which had once fallen to Level 2S, were now climbing steadily, breaking through 3S and finally stopping at 4S.
"What perfect sacrifices!"
A greedy light flashed in the King Blood Beast’s eyes.
Its pale, bamboo-thin fingers tapped on the Bone Throne as countless tentacles extended from the walls.
As those slime-covered tentacles wrapped around Su An’an’s ankles.
Seville suddenly trembled violently. His muscles, paralyzed by the poison, erupted with a final burst of strength, and he turned to shield her completely with his body.
The instant the tentacles pierced his back, a sudden change occurred!
"CRACK!"
A brilliant 4S insignia suddenly appeared on Seville’s chest as the ancient Golden Feather Swan totem awakened beneath his skin.
His drooping golden Wings stirred without a wind, and every feather began to erupt with a holy light.
The King Blood Beast’s malevolent grin froze on its face, for it discovered its tentacles were being controlled and turned against it!
"Impossible!"
The King Blood Beast’s shriek came to an abrupt halt.
Reflected in Seville’s amber eyes was the King Blood Beast’s pale, twisted face.
A holy phantom flared from his golden Wings, and golden arrows rained down like a tempest, shattering the slimy tentacles.
The King Blood Beast’s pupils trembled. Its chest heaved violently as it let out a piercing screech.
More slimy tentacles emerged, weaving themselves into a net to block Seville’s path.
The King Blood Beast turned to flee, only to find it couldn’t move.
A Level 4S King’s Domain had already enveloped the entire space, and the Golden Light pinned it to the Bone Throne.
"Your biggest mistake was touching someone you never should have."
Seville rose slowly. The Golden Light in his palm coalesced into a massive spear engraved with golden wings, which he viciously thrust toward the King Blood Beast’s head.
"Don’t kill me!"
The King Blood Beast howled in terror. Its bloated abdomen suddenly split open, revealing densely packed egg sacs.
The unformed Mutant Beast embryos inside let out cries like newborns, actually forming a final spiritual barrier.
The Golden Spear froze inches from its brow, and the Golden Light within the domain began to flicker.
"Did you think you could stop me?"
The corner of Seville’s mouth quirked up in a smile as chilling as a glacier.
The Golden Light from his right hand surged. He pierced the spiritual barrier with his bare hand, his five fingers digging deep into the King Blood Beast’s slender neck.
The black blood the King Blood Beast vomited landed on the ground, releasing a HISS of white smoke.
The dying, pale monster suddenly split its face with a massive grin, and a bizarre voice echoed across the altar:
"Damn you, Swan Beastman, I curse you to never find true love!"
All the bones in the nest trembled in unison.
The King Blood Beast used its final dregs of spiritual power to solidify the curse.
The black light was so fast that not even the King’s Domain could intercept it, plunging straight into Seville’s chest.
His pupils contracted sharply as the image of Su An’an’s tear-filled eyes exploded in his mind.
"For all eternity, without death, without rest!"
The King Blood Beast’s remains disintegrated into ash amidst its manic laughter.
And on Seville’s chest, a black, web-like pattern appeared.
He immediately tried to purify it with his Holy Power, but when the Golden Light collided with the black pattern, it produced a harsh, metallic scraping sound.
But the black curse didn’t budge an inch!
The unconscious Su An’an suddenly curled up instinctively.
The Divine Pattern on her waist was creating a bizarre resonance with the black pattern on Seville’s chest.
A few black threads had quietly crept into the lines of the otherwise pure Hexagram pattern.
