Chapter 474 - 453: One More Update
Within the formation, countless golden rays scattered wildly in all directions, and as the creature struggled frantically, no one dared to be negligent. They formed a circle with Master Ling Yi at the center, rapidly casting spells. The creature let out a piercing shriek immediately.
"Ow ow ow—" Half a quarter of an hour later, the creature’s struggles gradually subsided, giving all the disciples of Qiandao Temple present confidence. In an instant, they focused their spirits and hastened the casting of their spells, until the golden light slowly condensed and firmly trapped the creature in the middle of the formation. Gradually, the creature collapsed at the center of the formation and lay motionless.
Master Ling Yi was the first to open his eyes, stepping forward one step into the formation. The rest of the Qiandao Temple disciples panicked, about to speak out in warning, but Master Ling Yi had already thrown out his magic whip. All of a sudden, the creature was whipped into the air, its body now assuming the rigid posture of its collapse.
Only then did everyone clearly see the true appearance of the creature; it could scarcely be described as human. Only the tattered clothes on its body reminded them that this once was a living person, just like them.
The creature in front of them now bore no resemblance to a human at all, its entire head swollen with lumps the size of fists covering it, its original facial features nowhere to be seen, leaving only two deep, pitch-black holes. Its hands were swollen and deformed, its skin cracked like tree bark, with twitching muscles visible in the fissures, and even the dark red of bone could be seen.
A few of Qiandao Temple’s acolytes also stepped forward at this time, dragging the creature out of the formation and binding it with a magic artifact.
"Senior Brother, this clothing isn’t from our Qiandao Temple, it’s from Ghoul Ravine," a disciple said, carefully examining the clothes on the creature. In their camp, they had also found a set like this, so the disciple quickly spoke up.
Master Ling Yi nodded; he had previously speculated that this was a very domineering spell, one that would damage the enemy greatly at a high personal cost. However, now the extent of this domineering nature was beyond his expectations, yet there was one thing that Master Ling Yi couldn’t figure out.
That was, the creature they had captured was different from the one that had broken into their camp; that one had still looked like a person.
