1610 Tearing At One Another“s Soul Translated by XephiZ

How is this happening? Shouldn’t I be immune to them?

Mo Fan was utterly shocked when his thoughts started to drift away. It was the same Medusa’s Gaze, so how did Apas’ dust gold eyes instantly penetrate his defense without any resistance? What exactly was she?

“Big brother, I won’t let you feel any pain. I will make a nice dream for you, so you can die slowly to my laughter. Not everyone gets a special treatment like this!” Apas’ pleasant voice echoed in Mo Fan’s mind.

Mo Fan felt his body turning weightless. He could not tell if he was falling or drifting. He had already lost his senses. His remaining consciousness was wandering around in an ocean. He would occasionally hear a burst of melodious laughter and see Apas’ face above him…

——

The training ground was oddly quiet. Apas had her hands behind her. Her shoulders were round and smooth, her collar bones setting off her delicate upper body. Her slim waist and legs perfectly outlined the curves of an elegant snake.

She was standing on her toes so she could stare Mo Fan in the eyes.

Mo Fan remained unmoving. Apas looked like she was secretly giving the older brother next door a kiss, but her dusty gold eyes were actually devouring Mo Fan’s soul. A thin mist covered Mo Fan’s face as wisps of his soul slowly drifted into Apas’ nose. She slowly breathed in, taking away Mo Fan’s soul!

The soul mist grew thicker. Apas did not take it in greedily. She was breathing it in elegantly, like she was enjoying the scent of a flower.

However, Apas was so indulged in the process that she did not notice a bright red phantom mixed with the soul mist. It sneakily headed for the lunar-white imprint on her forehead.

Apas did not care much about the lunar-white imprint. It was quite amusing to her, like a petty creature spitting its silk at her, thinking it was enough to constrain her. Apas did not bother to get rid of it. It had no chance of harming her, nor could it enslave her soul!

“Mm?”

Apas suddenly noticed a different power from the imprint. She also noticed something else, something dangerous!

Apas did not dare feed on Mo Fan’s soul any further. She realized that something had intruded into her body. It was threatening her soul…

“What are you!?” Apas finally realized that something was not right, and let out a piercing screech. Its destructive force shattered the walls of the training ground to pieces.

“Little girl, your big brother already said he was willing to part ways without any hard feelings, yet you had to force it on him,” a seductive voice uttered from inside Apas’ body.

“You… get out of my body!” Apas grunted. She suddenly unleashed a terrifying aura, like an icy storm, and it swept out over the training ground.

“You have a nice body there, why don’t you give it to me? I’m looking for a suitable body too,” the voice said.

“In your dreams!” Apas’ eyes turned dusty gold once again. She began to use her power of the Curse Element and Psychic Element to drive the ghost inside her away.

Apas was no innocent little girl. She knew how dangerous it was to be Possessed by a phantom. She had been too focused on devouring Mo Fan’s soul, and did not expect to find such a powerful phantom inside his body. The phantom was very cunning, waiting patiently until she was busy devouring Mo Fan’s soul before sneaking into her body through the imprint on her forehead. The imprint was connected to her soul, meaning that the phantom had entered her soul!

A body could only hold a single soul. If the phantom managed to destroy her soul, it would then take over her body!

However, Apas was clearly not going down without a fight. She had strong Psychic Magic. The phantom might have taken her by surprise, but it did not necessarily mean it could destroy her soul so easily!

The ocean full of laughter disappeared like bubbles. Mo Fan slowly regained consciousness.

He saw Apas standing unmoving in front of him, a furious look on her face.

Something seemed to be keeping Apas busy. Her Will was currently inside herself, as if she was having an intense fight with a devil in her heart.

He took a closer look at Apas’ face and saw a faint mist around it. The mist would occasionally form the face of a mature woman before dissipating as Apas recovered her youthful looks.

“The Queen of the Netherworld…” Mo Fan finally realized what was going on.

The Queen of the Netherworld had been enjoying the show, and finally made her move. She actually kept her composure and waited for the perfect moment to enter the snake demon’s body. If she was just a little late, he would be a corpse by now!

“Mo Fan, don’t just stand there and watch, this little b**ch is pretty strong. Give me a hand, will you?” the Queen of the Netherworld yelled.

“Sure!” Mo Fan immediately covered himself in lightning without thinking about it.

“It’s no use attacking her body. Don’t you have any spells that can target her spirit or mind? Do it quickly: if she drives me out of her body, I won’t be able to save you!” the Queen of the Netherworld said.

“I’m afraid none of my spells are useful, then,” Mo Fan said helplessly.

Apas was fighting the Queen of the Netherworld fiercely. Her face was switching back and forth at a shocking rate. It would suddenly switch to the Queen of the Netherworld’s angry, misty face, before returning to Apas’ cold, menacing features. There was no energy ripple, but it was obvious that the two spirits were having a shocking fight inside her body!

“Provoke her, drive her mad, anything that can disturb her soul! Quick! We are both on the edge of the cliff now! One more step from either of us, and we’ll fall into the bottomless chasm!” The Queen of the Netherworld was struggling. Apas was stronger than she had imagined. It was extremely difficult to overwhelm the spirit of a powerful creature!

Mo Fan realized how serious the situation was. He knew that despite the advantage that the Queen of the Netherworld had secured, it was still not that easy to subdue Apas. If the Queen of the Netherworld failed to overwhelm Apas’ soul in her spirit form, she was most likely going to suffer a humiliating defeat!

If the Queen of the Netherworld lost, he was not going to survive, either!

The problem was, he did not have anything that could target a creature’s mind or spirit. Even the Dark Substance had to penetrate the target’s body first, but Apas’ body was currently covered in some golden dust. He had no chance of breaking through her defense!

“Quick! If you don’t think of something, we are both screwed!” the Queen of the Netherworld yelled.

“I have nothing useful!” Mo Fan was about to lose his mind.

“Use the Contract Seal, use the imprint to provoke her soul and enslave her. It will allow me to gain the upper hand if you can distract her!” the Queen of the Netherworld said.
