Chapter 156: Larva
HUFF HUFF
Vritra’s breathing was extremely weak, he was clearly very close to death. Maybe his plan really might succeed in the end, but he would have preferred a quicker death rather than this.
His half-lidded eyes stared blankly at the sky, his mind had stopped working and he couldn’t form a single thought; it was like countless red images were flashing in front of him, but Vritra had no idea what was happening around him or to him.
In the sky, all the people dressed in red from the Bone Blood Cult took out thousands of exactly same-looking red-colored cubes—the Glyphs. Vritra continued to see the scene that was tinged with redness in his eyes. The demon generals and the Nine Pacts seemed to be very shocked.
Over ten thousand people poured their energies into those fist-sized cubes. Although both the demon generals and Nine Pacts tried to stop the change, it was useless.
Vritra’s vitality, instead of increasing with his skills, continued to plummet with each passing moment. As he lost complete control over his body, the Demon Lord’s core that was forcefully stored in his body finally had a chance to get out of there.
It began to release vast amounts of energy, out of which only a little was able to leak out of the barrier and the Evil-Veyll God Essence Core. But just that amount began to destroy his body even further.
Vritra had no control over anything. Although he had never used the Switch skill before because it was too dangerous and probably had the function of releasing that Demon Lord’s energy, without any control over it, using that skill was nothing short of suicide.
But Switch was a hybrid skill—its passive part was like a bomb. In a situation like the present one where he had no control over his own body, it could be activated forcefully and the core would then erupt.
So instead of a usable skill, Switch was more like a prison for the Demon Lord’s core. But finally, it was slowly breaking that prison.
Vritra couldn’t care less about anything right now. As his health dropped below 2%, he felt as if the world was spinning, and his sight had slowly started to darken.
