Chapter 4047 The Destroyed Furnace
The spell effect of 【Cupid's Sting】 can be divided into two aspects: this magical technique can infect the soul of enemies with pink crystals, or it can grant lovers pink crystal spells.
Xia De then understood:
"Okay, I'll cast the spell now."
But the doll could sense Shad's exhaustion at that moment:
"You're too exhausted right now. Let me handle this."
"But you..."
"Although I am not present at full strength, I am still better than you are in your current state."
The doll, perched on his shoulder, tilted its head and looked at Shad, who then nodded.
"Please be careful."
Shad summoned the pink crystal dagger, which he then carefully plunged into the doll's body. The beautiful, violet-like doll was unharmed; the crystal dagger transformed into light and flowed into her body.
"This magical technique, derived from the heart-shaped lock of Cupid, is truly fascinating!"
She detached herself from Shad's shoulder and flew high into the blood mist.
Shad couldn't see through the blood mist, so he couldn't see what Miss Feliananna had done. Only after a rumbling sound did five enormous, thick pink crystal pillars fall from the sky, each pillar gleaming with the light of Miss Feliananna's magic and bearing the emblems of five different dragons:
"Witch's Secret Technique: Five Dragons Seal!"
boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
Five crystal pillars pierced the limbs and head of the giant baby that was chasing the pink dragon girl. Although the crystal pillars did not fall very fast in Shad's opinion, the monster was still unable to dodge them.
It still tried to cry, and its cries possessed extraordinary power. But it was too late. The five crystal pillars resonated with each other, then strengthened each other in the resonance, making the resonance even stronger.
The wailing, which nearly made one's brains boil, subsided after only a second, and pink crystals appeared on the monster's body and on the blood-red surface of the entire room.
It struggled but could not escape its restraints. The pink crystals quickly permeated the overly pure soul. However, because the object of crystallization was too large, even if Miss Felianana herself cast the spell, it would take a long time to completely crystallize the soul born from flesh and blood.
But at least the blood mist permeating the room was gradually thinning, condensing into droplets that fell downwards in an attempt to dissolve the crystals that were rustling and rising on the surface of the blood-red liquid, but this was completely ineffective.
Gina stopped, looking in awe at the five shimmering crystal pillars. Carefully bypassing the struggling monster whose body had begun to crystallize, she walked towards Shad.
Then Gina saw Shad reach out his hands towards the sky, catch the doll that was falling like a feather from the sky, and then hold it in his arms:
“It’s been a long time, Miss Feliananna! The last time we met was when you and Fiona were staying at my house together.”
A barely suppressed smile played on Shad's face, and the tone of the doll looking up at him held a tenderness Gina had never heard before:
"It's been a long time, Shad. The last time I saw you was around that time. After that, you asked Britney for help, and I've been waiting for you to call me again ever since."
Thank goodness, thank goodness, this time I'm the one who took the initiative to come to you.
She gestured for Shad to put her back on his shoulder, and after she sat down, the doll kissed Shad on the cheek again.
Shad immediately blushed, while the doll wearing a pointed hat covered her mouth and chuckled ladylike.
Gina doubted whether what she was seeing was real. Although she had heard that Shad Hamilton had a very good relationship with the two demigod witches of the academy, she still found it hard to believe that it was this good.
However, the dragon maid did not give up her small affection because of this. Whatever the relationship between Mana Felianana and Shad was, it did not affect the brave nursery dragon witch from pursuing her simple happiness.
The dissipation of the blood mist revealed the general outline of the room. Previously, in the vague perception of the three witches and Shad, the room was about the size of a small plain, but after the blood mist truly dissipated, they saw that it was clearly only the size of an ordinary square.
Mrs. Gustave and Miss Bredwell, who had already joined up, immediately came over. The latter was still clutching the small bucket containing flesh and organs, and did not abandon her duty in the midst of the panic.
When they saw the five pink crystal pillars "sealing" the giant baby, they sensed the unusual power and all showed expressions of awe. Lady Gustav, at the twelfth level, clearly felt the characteristics of the power belonging to the Council's Great Witch.
Just as she was wondering whether it was Shad or Gina who had used such power, she saw the puppet sitting on Shad's shoulder chatting intimately with him about the details of this [Stained Blood Factory].
"Are you...Miss Ferriananna?"
"I've seen Mana Feliana from afar," Mrs. Gustave asked incredulously, startling the halfling girl.
"Is that Principal Mana Ferrianana?"
The witches who held seats in the Fifth Age possessed an extraordinary and noble status. The two immediately bowed to the doll, which waved its hand in response.
"I am only here using this body, and I do not carry much power myself. The power of the pink crystal is borrowed from Shad. I cannot offer you much help, but since you were Shad and Gina's friends before, I will accompany you on your journey."
The two expressed their gratitude again. By this time, the blood mist had almost completely dissipated, and the blood crystals on the ground were exploding with crackling sounds, shattering into crystal powder and scattering on the ground.
"The crying we heard after leaving the second furnace was probably coming from this thing, which is why we haven't been able to find the room where the third furnace is located."
Mrs. Gustav looked at the mostly crystallized, now only wriggling infant with a grim expression:
"I never expected that there would be something in the factory that could mimic the sounds of the [Life Forge] room. If something like this appears again, we'll probably have to go even further."
But the shortest of them all, and therefore able to observe the ground more closely, the halfling girl whispered:
“I think we might not have gone the wrong way. The floor tiles here are the same as the floor tiles in the two furnace rooms we encountered, but there are no furnaces here.”
The witches hadn't seen the furnace room's floor tiles in any of the other rooms, but even without seeing the furnace, there were ways to confirm if this was truly the furnace room:
"Go to the center of the room and take a look. In the center of the furnace room is the blood pool that connects to the furnace."
At this point, everyone was in a corner of the room, but the infant was not yet completely lifeless, so Shad stayed behind while the three witches went to the center and quite easily discovered the pool of blood:
"It really exists! Could it be that the blood that covered the ground before all came from here?"
And the enormous dodecahedral furnace that should have been floating above the blood pool soon appeared.
With the sound of crystals shattering, the giant infant's body finally began to disintegrate. To accelerate this process, Shad summoned four chains of great sin, piercing its body and extracting a portion of its life force as a spark.
Although the baby was nearly dead at this point, the four chains pulled from his body still brought out a fist-sized ball of fire.
The witches have abundant life force and do not need this, and Miss Felian Anna the doll needs it even less, so this life force is absorbed by Shad to restore them.
He hated plundering the life force of other lives, but he didn't mind cutting off a piece from the life force itself. Besides, although the monster was the embodiment of life force, that life force was normal, so the fire seed was also a normal fire seed.
With the fire being absorbed, Shad's severely depleted life force and agility were effectively replenished, and Shad's actions led to the monster quickly reaching its end.
After the baby's body was blasted into powder, three items were left behind in the powder.
The first item is the [Blood Essence of All Things], which everyone can recognize; powerful beings in the factory can drop this item. This time, the enemy is clearly much stronger than the living room Shad encountered before leaving, so the appearance of the [Blood Essence of All Things] is expected.
The second item was the dodecahedral furnace, but it was only the size of a palm, and the patterns on each face were blurred. The metal that made up the furnace showed signs of rust after melting. Even if it were the normal size, it certainly couldn't be used again.
"This is what the Furnace of Life looks like after it has been ignited!"
Gina said with great certainty:
“This is what the furnaces we’ve lit look like. Of course, the furnaces we’ve lit won’t get smaller.”
"The used furnace, Mrs. Gustav, now that the baby is gone, can you still hear it crying?"
Shade asked, and the old witch nodded affirmatively:
"Yes, I can hear it; the sound is coming from over there."
She pointed to the direction where the blood mist finally dissipated, where there was a door different from the one they had come through. But based on the witches' previous experience, the furnace room should only have one door.
"Could this room we're in now be the furnace room that was once used? Our real goal is still ahead. And the reason that baby was able to make that luring cry was because it was forged in the furnace?"
Gina deduced from this that Miss Feliana's appearance made her seem a bit reserved, but in reality, the Doll Witch didn't pay any attention to her at the moment, and was just sitting on Shad's shoulder and laughing.
"That's probably the case. Although we don't know the specific reason, a life form that requires four furnace firings to take shape gained a physical form after just one furnace firing. That's probably the truth."
As he spoke, Shad examined the melted furnace again and found that although it was completely unusable, its unique metallic material, the crisscrossing patterns on its inner and outer surfaces, the blurry combination of runes hidden under the rust, and the bloodstains remaining inside all had great value.
