Nightmare's Call

Chapter 569 Arcane Secrets: Part 3

There was no movement in the passage.Lin Sheng did not care anymore, and started to count down.

Ten.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven....

Before five, a mass of black spikes and clews slowly separated from the mirror.

This ball of yarn-like thing slowly grew upwards and thinner, and soon, a face of an old man appeared out if it.

“You are not my Nurgana...” The old man stared at Lin Sheng.

“Still able to communicate?” Lin Sheng wondered, and tapped his finger.

The chaotic soul power at the tip of his finger blasted out and surrounded the face of the old man before him.

What disappointed him was that the face seemed to be just a message, and it was not meant for Lin Sheng.

His chaotic souls trapped the latter and immediately cut its energy supply off.

The face soon turned blurry before fading away in front of him.

Lin Sheng then looked at the mirror on the middle of the passage.

“The guy who played the stringed instrument, deliberately led me here. Clearly there is a purpose for that.”

“And so.....”

He stared at the mirror and suddenly raised his hand.

A loud bang then rang out.

A surge of distorted chaotic soul power rapidly converged before blasting out with a massive impact force and speed onto the surface of the mirror.

With a crack, the large gap opened up in the mirror but it did not shatter.

Within the gap, a blinding silver light blasted out, and dragged Lin Sheng’s mind into it.

The silver light was made out of densely packed silver segments, and as Lin Sheng got a better look, he felt that the segments were similar to a DNA helix.

By the time he recovers, he was in a blood-red dimension.

He floated in the air, and all around him were large genetic helix similarly floating.

A little girl was curled in a corner, wearing a white princess dress, resting with her eyes closed.

The girl had brilliant blonde locks, with white gloves and stockings, as she wore a pure aquamarine gemstone on her chest.

She wore a smile on her face, and her delicate and lovely facial features gave out an innocent allure to her.

She looked like she was about twelve to thirteen years old, and her figure was slender with a hint of innocent charm to her.

She seemed to have detected Lin Sheng’s presence, as she slowly opened her eyes.

The pair of pure blue eyes looked on blankly at Lin Sheng with a smile.

“Are you alive?” Lin Sheng said suddenly, and asked in the local language.

The blonde girl smiled and slowly raised her hand.

Countless of genetic chains spun and hovered around the two.

SPURRRTT!!!

In an instant, her arms twisted and enlarged, as it became a giant black python and launched itself towards Lin Sheng.

Even more bizarre was that as the black python pounced, its size grew larger and larger, and soon it filled Lin Sheng’s entire field of view.

For a moment, everything before him was covered by the python’s opened jaw.

“Hehehe...” The little girl’s childish laughter rang out.

Lin Sheng suddenly stretched his hand out, as white light gathered on his palm, and shot out like a bolt and tore the python apart, revealing the girl once again on the opposite side.

At that moment, the girl was changing from the inside out.

A crow-like head grow on her right shoulder while a large thick blister appeared on her left shoulder.

While the head of a goat popped out on the left side of her head, while a menacing wolf-like face appeared on the right.

All of her body started to swell, deform and extended.

Her legs transformed into a huge fishtails before turning into a pair of giant wings.

Black tree hole-like cavities opened up on her chest, and from it black insects rushed out.

If she was a beautiful, immaculate girl a moment earlier, she had turned into a monster which body was about to come apart in a blink of an eye.

But none of this disturbed Lin Sheng, what actually awed him was that a trace of divinity could be sensed from the little gir.

“A divine being?” He grew cautios as circles of holy light started radiating out from him, and protecting a small area around him.

“Have you seen my daddy?” The girl suddenly asked.

Her voice was clear and sweet like a silver chime, no different than an ordinary girl asking with a sweet voice.

“I don’t know if I had seen him.” Lin Sheng was stunned for a moment before answering.

“I want to look for him. Have you seen him?” The voice from the girl’s twisted body rang out again.

“What does your father look like?” Lin Sheng asked back.

“He likes to play the instrument and wears an ordinary uniform. He always likes to tell me that it won’t hurt, it won’t hurt, and it won’t hurt anymore ... but why do I still feel pain ...” The little girl murmured.

“But it doesn’t matter, my dad will play the instrument for Nana, and it won’t hurt when I listen to it ...”

“If you are talking about someone who likes to play the stringed instrument, then perhaps I’ive seen him.” Lin Sheng had already guessed that the girl was related to the man glowing in blue light outside.

“Yeah ... Daddy said, as long as I feel pain, he will always play the harp for me ...” The girl’s body kept on growing.

Her body was getting larger and larger, with all sorts of monstrous heads growing all over her body.

More and more heads started piling up on her back, as stacked up higher and higher.

At this moment, she had lost her human form, and only her writhing body was any indication that she was still alive.

“Could you remember how your father looked like?” Lin Sheng asked.

“His looks... his looks...” The monster girl froze for a moment, as her body began to slowly break apart, revealing a shark-like jaws.

“His looks...” The monster seemed to get a little agitated.

“Why .... Why can’t I remember ..... Why !!!?” She was getting more and more agitated.

Boom! !

The surrounding genetic helixs were broken by the monster’s twisted body.

“Daddy... daddy...!! You said that you will never forget me!! You said it!!”

The monster roared in a fury as large blood-red wings ripped out from her body and rushed towards Lin Sheng.

“It hurts!! Daddy... It HURTS!!!” Nana is in pain!! SAVE ME!! SAVE ME!!!” The monster howled as it let out a painful scream.

Hundreds of bloody wings completely covered every corner around Lin Sheng at the same time.

Lin Sheng snorted as his body radiated pure white light, and withstood onslaught of the blood wings around him.

His God’s Speed divinity suddenly activated as his body became a stream of light, and crashed against the weakest point in the blood wings.

BAMM!!

The blood wings were torn apart, and Lin Sheng immediately flew out of the gap.

“Save me!! It hurts!! IT HURTSS!!!!” The monster roared, as its body continuously grew all sorts of limbs that struck at Lin Sheng like lightning.

Tentacles, hooves, insect appendages, human hands, giant talons and the likes with all sorts of bizarre combinations. Like a literal stew of genes, the monster trudged along like a giant flesh machine with infinite power as it secreted limbs all around to strike at Lin Sheng.

And most importantly, all of the limbs that grew out of it all carried with it extremely potent venom.

Hiss....

Lin Sheng defenses was broken at the sleeve area, and was stained with a little bit of the monster’s blood, and instantly his sleeve started to rot and became meat-like, as if it was a living part of a monster.

At the same time, a putrid poisonous gas started emanating from the sleeve itself.

Lin Sheng had to immediately tear his sleeve off, as he focused on dealing with the monster’s attacks.
