NOVEL WEB chapter 72
Chapter 72, The Whisper of the God of Love (Part Twelve)
Eluka opened her eyes, and within them, there was neither white nor pupil, only a darkness as deep as an abyss.
Her head gradually floated upward, and then, she opened her mouth.
The monster’s massive body crumbled in an instant, transforming into a river of blood mixed with bones and limbs.
The river of blood flowed, gradually shrinking under the influence of some strange power, eventually becoming a thin stream that was drawn into that cherry-like mouth.
Gulp, gulp, as if savoring a delicious drink.
And as the river of blood was consumed, a terrifying aura gradually brewed above that head.
“Take this blade!”
Mu En snapped back to reality, without any hesitation, he grabbed a short knife and slashed forward.
No matter what you are, I’ll cut first and ask questions later!
I won’t give you time to transform into a magical girl.
Clang.
Accompanied by a crisp sound of metal clashing, Mu En’s face suddenly stiffened.
A feather.
A pure white feather blocked in front of him.
The light feather swayed gently in the breeze, almost weightless.
Yet when Mu En’s short knife struck it, it sparked violently.
How can feathers be this hard!
Since that’s the case…
“An!”
If I can’t cut through it myself, then I’ll call for backup!
Steel shrieks!
Metal thorns wrapped around Mu En, suddenly lunging from other directions, piercing towards Eluka’s head.
Clang.
Clang.
Clang.
Clang.
But in the next moment, only more clashing sounds arose.
Steel had a hard time getting close to Eluka.
Because a pair of pure white wings suddenly unfurled from behind Eluka’s head, deflecting all the metallic blades.
The wings were sacred, untouched by dust.
Like an angel descending to the mortal realm, that golden holy light shone so brightly it was almost blinding.
But…
Having these seemingly impressive wings sprout from behind a head is just downright creepy, okay!
Where’s the body? At least conjure up a body!
With this appearance, even if it looks formidable, it’s completely unworthy of respect!
Quick, give me back my little weirdo; after looking for a while, it’s still cuter!
“What on earth is this thing…”
Mu En grumbled while desperately trying to recall the descriptions from the original book. At the very least, he needed to know what kind of enemy he was dealing with, right?
An angel?
No, the angels from the Life Church don’t look this bizarre.
A follower?
But due to the nature of the mad god that even devours its own, there weren’t many followers aside from some crazed cultists.
Moreover, needing to rely on Eluka’s head indicates that the opponent also lacks a physical form.
Just as he was pondering, as the blood river ran dry, Mu En suddenly felt a gaze upon him.
From those pitch-black eyes.
In an instant, a chill surged through him.
The body felt as if frozen by ice, and Mu En found it difficult to breathe.
It was as if he were an ant crawling on the ground, being watched by a great existence from the heavens above.
He couldn’t help but tremble at his own insignificance.
“Could it be…?”
A most terrifying thought gradually emerged in Mu En’s mind.
“What a joke…”
“I only called you a b*stard, is it really necessary to be this furious?”
“To actually… descend in person?”
Though it might be just a one in a thousand, or even a ten-thousandth, seepage of will.
That gaze, without a doubt, came from a higher plane of existence, something he absolutely could not contend with.
So Mu En unhesitatingly revealed his long-hidden ultimate move.
—”Black Book, save me!”
Not knowing if it would work, he decided to shout it out anyway!
【■■】
At that moment, as the blood river ran dry, Eluka’s head… no, it should be said the evil god, slightly opened its mouth, and ancient syllables leaked forth.
It was a language difficult to comprehend, yet when it descended upon the world, it was as if it issued a command to the entire universe!
In an instant, everything froze.
Not just Mu En, but even the metal that had charged forward, and even An in the distance, were suspended in mid-air, unable to move.
Consciousness remained clear.
As if turned into a puppet.
Mu En could only display a look of horror.
Then, he saw the evil god’s gaze, filled with malice, almost suffocating, sweeping over him like an inconsequential speck of dust, shifting its focus to An.
Joy,
Then greed,
Such human emotions flowed from those pitch-black eyes.
“Could it be that…”
“The evil god’s target…”
“Is An?”
In that instant, Mu En understood why the evil god would go to such great lengths to personally descend with a will.
The God’s Chosen.
The blessing of the gods.
And those blessings, in a sense, are a partial manifestation of divine authority.
For the evil gods, the authority of other deities is the most delicious feast in this world!
“How could I have forgotten?”
“In the original book, the protagonist attracts the attention of evil gods daily because she possesses too many blessings from the gods, basically drawing evil gods wherever she goes.”
“Since that’s the case, then An, who is also a favored one…”
“That’s why Eluka is so obsessed with her.”
“Damn it, I knew I shouldn’t have let An get involved in this!”
Mu En stared fiercely, his eyes wide with rage, watching as the evil god gradually floated toward An.
A look of terror appeared on An’s face, but there was nothing she could do.
Under the suppression of the evil god’s will, she seemed to transform into a little white rabbit awaiting slaughter, unable to use her abilities.
So powerless.
She would be devoured by the evil god!
Damn it.
I need to think of a way.
I have to move quickly.
I must stop that damned b*stard evil god.
How can He touch my maid!!
……
【Sigh】
……
Like a fleeting breeze passing through.
A faint sigh echoed in Mu En’s ears.
His vision went dark.
But he did not lose consciousness.
“Is this… the Black Book space?”
Mu En looked around; this pitch-black environment was undoubtedly the familiar Black Book space.
But this time, he had not entered it voluntarily.
“So, that means… you pulled me in here?”
Mu En stared at the black book floating in front of him, not having time to think of anything else, and asked directly:
“Do you have a way to save An?”
The black book trembled slightly, then began to turn its pages.
The pages flipped, like fleeting light and shadows.
Finally, it stopped on a blank page.
However, before Mu En could ask, flames suddenly ignited on that blank page.
Crimson flames.
Somewhat familiar.
Before he could think of anything else, the crimson flames suddenly formed a bizarre pattern.
A… burning, ferocious pupil.
“What is this…”
Mu En frowned slightly; although the light of the flames was not very dazzling, looking at that ferocious pupil made his eyes sting.
He felt it was definitely not a good thing.
But…
There was no other way.
“This method can save An, right?”
Mu En reached out, grasping at the strange pattern.
“Then there’s no need to hesitate.”
