Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 497 Devouring

The eerie flowers retreated rapidly along the exterior walls of the high-rise building.

Eight spider legs stretched out from behind An, their tips as sharp as knives, piercing the branches fiercely before being pulled down to the ground.

There were still some guards on the ground. When they saw the flower, which was larger than a person, crawling down with its branches as limbs, they immediately raised their hands and aimed their iron pipe-like witchcraft tools at the giant flower.

But before they could release the secondary fire orb that came with the item, they saw that there was a woman clinging to the back of the flower stem.

As the two drew closer, they were even more astonished to discover that the woman's lower body had eight extra spider legs!

For a moment, the guards didn't know whether to aim the iron pipe at the strange giant flower or the woman behind it.

The giant flower didn't take the guards seriously at all. It suddenly jumped from the fourth floor, its branches randomly piercing several unlucky guys. Amid screams, it disappeared into the entrance of a nearby underground sewer, leaving a trail of blood.

The entrance was small and separated by railings; the slender flower stems could pass through, but the huge flower buds couldn't get in at all.

The monster immediately abandoned the flower part.

Blocked by the railings outside the underground sewer, a huge, door-like blood-stained flower petal was left on the ground.

Ann also saw the railing partition. Although she could use witchcraft to cut the railing, what she saw was clearly just a pipe entrance, and the inside was equally narrow.

Even if An could unfold the railings, it wouldn't be possible to expand the passageway completely.

A fierce glint flashed in her eyes, and she actually abandoned her physical body, switching to her soul form, and followed them inside.

This is actually very dangerous, since she is not a complete soul form and all her energy comes from Thor's replenishment.

But An can't care about that now.

Some time ago, she and Thor were attacked by an unknown root system while they were out.

She was almost pulled into the ground.

Just as she was halfway into the ground, Ann suddenly sensed a familiar presence on the plant that was attacking her.

This scent was like mint in salted fish, instantly waking her up and also jolting her awake from the hazy memories of her past caused by the fusion of souls.

"Du, Mo!" An said through gritted teeth.

She chased after the fleeing flower stem, descending the mountain, and then left the underground sewer halfway down, entering a crack.

After chasing for an unknown distance, An, who was walking through the soil, suddenly felt as if he had passed through a barrier, and the space in front of him suddenly opened up.

It was open, but dark.

An could not sense that a huge, boundless object, extremely wide, was blocking his way, a few dozen meters away.

The flower stem she had been following leaped onto the massive barrier in a few swift movements, then drooped limply, as if it had instantly transformed from a living thing into a dead one.

And the familiar aura that An had been searching for had also disappeared.

An floated up to the giant object, but still couldn't tell what it was.

She was currently only in the middle section of the colossal object, completely obscured by darkness above and below, with no visible boundaries to the left or right.

An reached out to strike the giant object, only to find that it was smooth as jade, yet it could prevent him from entering.

"Is there some kind of magic to ward off spirits on this?" An looked it over, but couldn't sense any magic from the giant object in front of him.

"Du Mo...why is he in a place like this?" The tracking trail disappeared, and An became somewhat anxious, frantically knocking on the giant object again.

Suddenly, a dozen light-colored roots grew from the surface of the giant object, wrapped around Ann's arm, and pulled her inward.

As those roots appeared, An felt a familiar presence again.

"Du Mo! Is this all you dare to do, sneaking around in the shadows? Where did your guts go, the courage you had when you competed with me for the family heirship?"

The spider leg behind An transformed into a blur and slashed down fiercely.

However, the sharp spider legs only managed to cut through a layer of skin on the delicate root system, and could not help Ann break free from her restraints.

Seeing this, An launched another attack, this time with added pollution and erosion. After a few strikes, he finally managed to cut off two of the roots around him and break free from the restraints.

But before she could get completely away, several roots suddenly gathered together, forming the shape of an arm, grabbed her face, and pulled her hard into the giant object.

An's upper body disappeared instantly, leaving only her lower body struggling.

Her eight spider legs kept striking the giant object, trying to pull her upper body out, but to no avail.

At that moment, a deep and suppressed voice rang out in the dark and chaotic space.

"You're still so stupid. I only laid a little bait, and you chased after me like a mouse."

The smooth surface of the massive object rippled like water, revealing a male face.

As soon as the man's voice appeared, An struggled even more violently.

Her spider legs finally pressed against the surface of the giant object, and with a burst of strength from her waist, she pulled her head out of the giant object.

"Du Mo!" An's face was unrecognizable, like a melted wax figure, but his features remained. He grinned maliciously and said, "Hahaha, look at your disgusting appearance! Back then, you joined forces with Bai Dong for some vague legend, burying your entire family in Chui Shou Valley, all to become this inhuman, ghostly creature!"

His face contorted slightly. "You always manage to provoke me so easily."

"What angered you was your own stupidity." Although Ann was in a spirit form, her soul was clearly severely damaged, and her upper body had begun to dissolve.

As he spoke, the features on his face slid down.

Even in such a bad state, An still mocked Du Mo.

"The Bai Dong family really values ​​you. Are they raising you like a demon? Did you hand over that treasure to Bai Dong?"

Du Mo's sculpted face trembled slightly, then slowly returned to calm after a few seconds. "Do you want to know my story? Then merge with me, and you will naturally understand everything about me, and you will realize that my choice back then was not wrong, my dear... sister!"

On the smooth surface of the giant object, several light-colored roots appeared, dodging the spider legs, wrapping around Ann's upper body, and digging deep into her spirit body, continuing to pull her into the giant object.

A look of pain flashed across An's face, but she retorted sharply, "I'm not your sister. You were expelled from the Blood Rose family after you betrayed them!"

"So be it, the entire direct line of Blood Rose is dead," the human-faced man said nonchalantly. "But you are still my sister, my other half, my soulmate. I need you to merge with me. Only then can we complete the most powerful flesh-and-blood sorcery in Blood Rose's history—the fusion of spirit and flesh!"

As Andi struggled, the melting of her facial features flowed down her skin and onto her neck.

The voice came from her chest, "Merge? You just want to devour me!"

"Don't think of it that way; the essence is that they are one."

As An's body was slowly pulled into the giant object, a joyful smile appeared on his face.

"Sister, if you really like Blood Rose that much, I can rebuild the Blood Rose family. Just come in obediently."

Ann's face was pressed against the massive object once again, and gradually merged into it.

Her voice came from her abdomen again, "You betrayed Blood Rose for that hollow legend, and Blood Rose doesn't need you to rebuild it. Just cling to your hardcover book and live on!"

Upon hearing the words "hardcover book," Du Mo's face contorted again, and his voice became even more muffled.

"Unfortunately, that legend is false. What allowed me to reach the fourth tier was indeed my family's flesh and blood witchcraft..."

"no."

"What?" The man was startled by the sudden voice. He looked down and saw that most of An's body had been pulled into the giant object, and the rest of his body had melted beyond recognition and was no longer able to struggle.

Where did that sound come from?

"I thought you were this huge barrier, but it turns out you're just a broken spirit being kept here."

The face was astonished to find that the voice was actually coming from its own mouth.

"You, how could you possibly be?"

Do you think my intelligence has been corrupted and eroded, or that I've been blinded by hatred?

"None of that! I deliberately let you devour me."

"Poor and foolish little brother, how could you be so naive as to think that after we merged into one, it would be my consciousness that was swallowed up?"

Previously: The Blood Rose family, the ancestral home of the Bloodthorn family hundreds of years ago. One of Kismet's victims. The Death Wizard's Diary was accidentally sold to the Wizard Tower by a descendant of the Bloodthorn family. The main part of Ann's soul came from the underground laboratory of Ralph, the patriarch of the Bloodthorn family.
