Chapter 207: Do You Also Deserve to be Called a Mentor?
Cold, silent, and dark…
Even the slightest sound would echo.
Bai Wei snapped out of a brief daze, opened his eyes, and found himself in an unfamiliar space.
Was he teleported?
Space teleportation is not an ordinary technique. Even Void Archmages who wield spatial powers cannot use it casually.
If there’s really such a great ability to initiate space teleportation, wouldn’t it be better to just use Dimensional Slash directly?
Bai Wei raised his hand to pat his shoulder, a habitual action, but he found nothing there to pat.
Because he was a man, and his current inhabited body was that of a woman, his shoulders were not broad enough, and the objects hanging in front of his chest were somewhat obstructive.
He raised an eyebrow mockingly and said, "You went through so much trouble to teleport me here just to bring your own funeral?"
Both of Gamira’s eyes were crimson, with his left eye having a vertical pupil, seemingly from some ancient species.
He asked, "Do you know what place this is?"
"Your family’s ancestral tomb?"
"It’s the Abyss," Gamira said. "It’s my experimental ground! A genuine ancient abyss…!"
It’s a well-known fact that the abyss is concealed underground in the Allied Nations. Dangerous entities such as ancient species and demons have long been believed to originate from beneath the surface, but this description is not entirely accurate.
Even at a depth of 20,000 meters underground, demon homeland cannot be found. This is because they fundamentally exist in another realm, which Bai Wei referred to as the Infernal Realm. It is closely connected to reality, occasionally causing overlapping phenomena. The hellish demons’ favorite activity is digging holes continually, upward and downward, as if they have become a civilization of miners.
When the Infernal Realm overlaps with reality, holes that directly connect to the Infernal Realm appear underground. This is the origin of the abyss.
There is no light and fragrance of birds and flowers in the underworld, so the demons both fear and envy everything on the surface. It is a civilization born to be hostile.
After hearing the description of the "Ancient Abyss," Bai Wei immediately realized that it was a semi-abandoned abyss.
It must have been abandoned, although it leads to the mortal realm, it doesn’t directly reach the underworld, leaving only a large number of miners here.
This is often referred to as an underground crypt, where powerful demons from the underworld slumber.
But honestly, Bai Wei wasn’t very interested. He had already conquered numerous abysses and burial grounds in his past life, even breaking through the level of annihilating a nation, and he was now at a stage where he didn’t want to be bothered.
So he didn’t want to listen to the other party’s nonsense anymore. His blood converged into a spear and directly pierced Gamira’s chest.
He shattered nine illusions in a row, shielding himself from the triple mental shock, which was feeble and couldn’t even shake him at all.
The bloody spear pierced through Gamira’s chest, then burst from the inside, spraying blood.
In just an instant, the organs beneath Gamira’s chest became riddled with holes, and it wouldn’t be long before he died.
“Cough… Professor collapsed in a sorry state on the ground, blood flowing everywhere. "You should have aimed for my head…!"
He moved his body, laboriously crawling towards a nearby device, then slammed his fist onto a button.
The sound of chains echoed, black light flashed, and his body was severed into two halves, with his head rolling off the guillotine.
The rolling head disappeared into the darkness, and after three seconds of silence, a purple light suddenly lit up from the deepest part of the darkness.
Bai Wei saw more than ten purple lights ignite, with huge eyeballs at the center of each purple glow.
The moment Bai Wei saw it clearly, he realized what it was.… Hundred Eyes Demon!
The purple eyeballs locked onto him. Bai Wei was slightly startled, silently cursing, but his body no longer obeyed his command and became stiff.
Hundred Eyes Demon is a demon species of the psychic type, not possessing strong attack power, but having a powerful soul disturbance ability.
His fingertips became stiff because its attack took effect, but not on Bai Wei.
With the blessing of the golden power fragments, Bai Wei’s soul was not easily torn apart. He could even end the state in advance and hide back in the ocean of the spiritual world.
Its target was "Judy Selvicer." Just like a person who is slapped while sleeping will naturally wake up, the damage that pierced her soul quickly brought her consciousness to the surface.
However, two souls cannot coexist in the same body. A cockpit capable of accommodating a high-level entity cannot hold more than one ace pilot.
"Where is this…?" Judy woke up from her daze, completely unfamiliar with her surroundings.
She stepped back in horror. "What kind of monster is that?!"
The purple light struck her weakened consciousness like a thunderbolt. She covered her head and almost fell down. "It hurts… it hurts."
Judy was confused. One moment she remembered being in the duel arena, and the next moment she was here, facing a terrifying demon. It was natural for her to feel confused, panicked, and scared.
What was even more frightening was that she realized her body wasn’t fully under her control.
Her arms and legs wouldn’t move, and she involuntarily pressed a hand against her face.
"Tsk…" Another voice came from her throat. "How troublesome, waking up at a time like this."
"Who are you!" Judy screamed. "Why are you inside my body?"
"It would be troublesome to explain," Bai Wei said casually. "Could you please go back to sleep for a while? I’m almost done here."
"Get out of here!"
"Sorry, I can’t leave. It would be better for you to let me in and go deeper."
It was like a quarrel between split personalities.
Immediately, a deep laughter was heard.
Hundred-eyed Demon chuckled and said, "Just as I suspected, you are not Judy but another consciousness borrowing her body. However, no matter who you are, the same body cannot contain two souls."
Bai Wei remained expressionless. "So, you’re not dead yet."
"Thanks to you, I never dared to abandon my own body before. Although I had thought of doing so ever since I acquired this demon’s body, I couldn’t make up my mind until you completely destroyed my original body. It gave me the courage to take a gamble."
In the center of Hundred-eyed Demon’s body, there was a human head.
This was no longer just a limb transplant, but a grafting.
"Disgusting," Bai Wei said. "Neither human nor ghost."
"But so what? I will continue my research here," Hundred-eyed Demon’s eyes glowed purple. "And you’ll be buried here."
Bai Wei and Gamira faced off from a distance, exchange of verbal attacks, but neither could do anything to the other.
He had just successfully transferred his body but had not yet gained complete control over the demon’s form.
Bai Wei couldn’t forcefully harm Judy’s soul, so he could only occupy a half position in the cockpit, with one foot unable to move forward.
As Judy listened to the voice, it felt so familiar. She struggled to look towards the dazzling purple center and uttered unbelievably, "M…Mentor?"
Bai Wei, "?"
Gamira said in a low voice, "It’s me… Judy Selvicer, my little guinea pig."
Judy suddenly understood a lot, and her expression turned dim. "So, that’s how it is."
She lost to Michelle, so she became worthless, and thus, she deserved to die.
To her mother, she might have become a stain. She had failed in the family, at school, and even in the dark path. Such a loser should be reduced to nothing, should disappear from the world…
Maybe it was because their souls were intertwined too tightly, Bai Wei didn’t need to ask to know what she was thinking at the moment. He could hear the whispers deep within her soul, full of sadness, weakness, despair, and even a strong urge for self-destruction… Each thought was filled with profound despair.
Judy’s death didn’t mean any loss to Bai Wei, he could leave at any time. But once he left, he would lose his bearings. Where would he find this abyss then?
Any scholar studying the Scarlet Curse is dangerous. Bai Wei must completely annihilate Gamira here to ensure no more victims will appear!
Severing the Scarlet Curse is his commitment to the witch. The dignity of an emperor cannot be repeatedly violated!
He must die, today, immediately! No use even if the Supreme Will arrives!
Bai Wei’s emotions instantly became restless and furious, but he suppressed the anger.
Once he lost control, he would completely shatter Judy’s fragile soul… She was a manipulated person, not innocent, but not deserving death.
Bai Wei was hesitating, but the other party wouldn’t.
The demon emitted a demonic whisper, "Judy Selvicer… You should feel ashamed."
It couldn’t move, but it was still a master of the mind, knowing how to instigate and induce her inner despair, "You have nowhere to go back to anymore. In your family, your mother will only be disappointed by your continuous failures. In school, your notorious reputation has spread to thousands, and no one wants to be your friend. Even if you choose the path of evil, you will only be a useless little guinea pig."
The demon smirked and laughed, "Why… do you still have the face to live?"
He continued, "I told you long ago… For you, only death is the eternal release."
"—motherfucker!"
