Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 955 An Unresolved Scar

Spread has not yet discovered that he can counteract the collapse of his fighting spirit. As long as he hides his attack intentions and seizes the opportunity to launch a sneak attack with forbidden knowledge, he may be able to achieve the greatest possible results.

Burning blood into fire!

As the Night and Fire Scepter activated its forbidden power, Sprite's entire body suddenly burst into flames, turning her into a human torch in an instant.

"It's blood and fire!" Charles I shouted excitedly from afar.

Sprite's burning figure was reflected in the pupils of all the spectators. Several spectators from the Tower of Babel and the Funeral Home gasped when they saw this scene.

"The rumors are true! The Bureau of Control has indeed mastered the Bloodfire Secret Technique of Duke Rosa in the Blood Dynasty."

"Yes, otherwise it's impossible to explain why this power would directly take effect on that Rift King."

"It's also possible that the abnormality level of the person next to the witch is the same as, or even higher than, Sprite's! Otherwise, why would he be able to attack Sprite?"

The people of Babel frowned in confusion: "Was it an oversight? But there might be some clever tricks involved. Didn't those vampires eventually attack the Rift King?"

"Their attack was clearly indiscriminate killing. It must have been that some vampire had a special ability that interfered with the visual judgment of other vampires. They made themselves unable to distinguish between their companions and Spreadt, and then used indiscriminate attacks on each other to bypass Spreadt's special ability."

"But this person's attack was clearly very precise; he didn't use any opportunistic methods. Who exactly is he?"

"The person next to him should be the witch Shangguan Yan. Could he be that witch's trump card?"

Someone at the funeral home shook their head: "But there should be a maid's spirit floating behind the trump card. Someone saw it with their own eyes before. Why isn't there one behind this person?"

"...Damn it, if only I could record this battle and post it on the Dream Network, I could definitely earn at least tens of millions! No, even hundreds of millions wouldn't be difficult. People in the real world would never be able to see a battle of this level."

The group stared wide-eyed at the three small dots facing each other on the undulating ice plains. Just moments ago, they had been invincible, killing the vampire elders and the EX-level monster Sprite with overwhelming force. Now, they were burning quietly.

In fact, this level of combat was beyond the appreciation of ordinary people like them, but anything seen and remembered is a treasure locked away in a box.

Just like the Tao Te Ching that someone memorized in childhood, it will have an impact on him in middle age forty years later. The secrets that he could not understand at the time will be revealed under the erosion of time.

They can't understand the battle between these powerful individuals right now, but as long as they firmly imprint everything they see in their hearts, that will be a treasure!
Even if they can't use this wealth themselves, they can sell it to others, because in the extraordinary world, memories are a commodity that can be exchanged. Some of these people who have received inside information came here to watch the battle because they were following orders from the organization, while others came to acquire this value for themselves.

Of course, some people risked coming to watch the battle in hopes of gaining enlightenment.

The escaping curse power will erode a person's sanity. This has been a consistent claim made by the Control Bureau to the world, and it is indeed true in most cases.

However, looking at the matter of curse erosion from a completely neutral perspective, it actually causes the desires and thoughts of the affected individuals to gravitate towards those types of curse power.

If the power of a spell is impure and chaotic, it is easy to go mad. But if it is singular and extremely pure, then... it may be the path to glimpse a higher realm of desire!
The King of Rift... the pinnacle that humanity in the Scar Age ultimately reached. He himself is a Rift-type ability user, or a believer in the Rift Scissors. Who wouldn't want to witness his splendor?
Whether or not one can understand the Rift King's superpower is not the most important thing. The most fundamental thing is always hidden in the curse power. If one can be eroded by the Rift King's curse power, then... However, for some reason, the Rift King has been fighting so fiercely, yet not a single bit of curse power has escaped. This is indeed very puzzling.

"Sprite, could it be that it's already an anomaly, no longer human?" someone in Babel muttered to themselves.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a cold voice came from behind the crowd.

"found it."

The spectators suddenly turned around, and one of them launched an attack without hesitation using his supernatural abilities.

The wall in the direction of the sound source was shaved off by a layer of stone by terrifying psychic power, but they saw a blurry afterimage flash past the spot where it had just been. The same thought popped into everyone's mind—Instant Step!
The next second, a person's head twisted 180 degrees, and the figure, whose body was wrapped in bandages, dodged past the still-standing corpse and brutally kicked the second person in the waist.

……

……

On the ice field in the center of the lake, Sprite was set ablaze, but Xia Shou noticed something strange about the flames.

How should I put it... not... intense enough?
Furthermore, Sprite's standing posture was also somewhat off.

Although named "Burning Blood into Fire," it essentially involves directly transforming blood into flames, rather than using blood as fuel.

The moment this forbidden consciousness successfully appears in reality, the blood in the other person's body turns into fire, and the blood in their internal organs, blood vessels, and brain all turn into flames, instantly burning them to charcoal—a near-instantaneous kill for any living being.

But at this moment, Sprite gave Xia Shou a very subtle feeling. His standing posture was still in a state of exertion. He... was still alive!

The burning figure moved, and the next second, Xia Shou saw the flames on the other person disappear at an extremely fast speed!

Spreadt spread his arms, and his charred skin and flesh rapidly returned to normal. The flames and the burn marks clung to his body like stickers, moving closer to Spreadt's chest.

It's strange to use stickers to describe burns and flames, but that's the visual impression that the other person gives. And Natsumori is very familiar with this special visual experience!
He had seen a similar scene in Shangguan Yan's apartment, that scar—[the unresolved scar of death]!
In just a few seconds, all the damage that had been done was condensed into a single scar.

The scar was on Sprite's chest, in a place that showed how Sprite's body had been completely burned to white ash.

But Xia Shou knew perfectly well that such an injury did not actually exist; he only needed to use the [text description] to see the truth.

Xia Shou saw an introduction similar to the one he had seen before.

[A fiery scar that remains unresolved!]
