Chapter 4046 Life - Infant

"Miss Ferrian Anna!"

The surrounding blood mist seemed to hesitate to surge back because of the appearance of this exquisite doll. The pink dragon girl quickly came to the doll. Although the main material was blood and flesh essence, the doll's skin had a strange fuzzy texture.

However, it must be admitted that this doll looks really exquisite, and even has more than half of Miss Felicia's own charm.

"It seems to be a success."

The doll spoke, its voice very clear. It glanced at Gina, confirming she was in alright, then floated to Gina's right shoulder and landed directly on the dragon girl's shoulder:

“Gina, the power I projected is not complete. Due to the limitations of this body’s strength, I can not provide much help.”

She gazed at the surrounding blood mist, without inquiring about the specifics of this strange place:

"Where is Xia De?"

“We got separated, but I can sense his location by using bubbles.”

The girl, Long, honestly told her headmaster that although she was a maid, she was also a student, or rather, she was more of a student.

"Then let's go find him."

The blonde doll sat steadily on Gina's shoulders, reminding Gina of puppet shows she had seen. And then, through some unknown power, Miss Feliana made Gina feel her skin instantly refreshed, as if she had finally taken a bath.

"I've temporarily shielded you from the corrosive effects of the surrounding blood mist, but it won't last long. Let's go, and we need to move quickly."

"Yes, Principal Feliananna!"

Deep within the blood mist, after a deafening roar, Shad was once again thrown back by immense force. However, he adjusted his posture in mid-air, drew back the [Blood Moon Arc] longbow, and as he landed back on the ground, he fired a blood-red longsword at his back.

Chasing after him was a gigantic infant with pink skin, its body covered in pustules. The longsword transformed into an arrow and pierced the mouth of the gigantic infant, which was on all fours.

It howled again, the piercing sound making Shad dizzy, but fortunately "she" smiled gently, allowing Shad to avoid the toxic pus that splattered out after the pustules on the giant baby's nose burst.

The baby's appearance, if not compared to Little Beren of Fatummst, was even more hideous than a stranger could imagine. Its large body moved with incredible speed as it crawled, and the man was relentlessly pursued by it, even suspecting he might have nightmares about it again.

Shad used the two powers, [Corrupted Blood Mist] and [Blood Moon Arc], which are specifically designed to combat flesh and blood, in turn. However, this thing was too large, and it could draw upon the blood that filled the room at any time to rapidly regenerate itself.

The life force surging within him was stronger than that of Shad himself and the "Spark of Life" he possessed. Shad even suspected that if he could extract all of the other's life force at once, the intensity of that spark might be as powerful as the spark source left behind by the "Construct Master" in the Holy See.

But he couldn't extract it. Individuals with excessively powerful life force couldn't have their fire extracted directly; they had to be severely injured to the point of weakening their life force. And the blood and blood mist in this room could almost be considered part of this infant. Shad even suspected that the other monsters the three witches might have encountered were also part of this infant.

It is everything in the room.

"A nursery? Would a normal factory have a place like that?"

But the above is not the most terrifying characteristic of this enemy. The most terrifying characteristic of this thing is its exceptionally pure life essence. It is not human, not a dragon, not a halfling, not anything at all; it is truly just the essence of life and flesh.

When Shad tried to observe the other party using the [Destiny Handbook], he couldn't even believe the name of their race he saw—

【life】

"Of course I know it's a living being, but that's not what I want to know!"

So at this moment, Shad could only run and fight at the same time, enduring the ear-piercing cries that the enemy made every time they were attacked, hoping that Mrs. Gustav would find her other companions as soon as possible.

At this moment, the old witch and Miss Bradley were very close, but Shad suddenly noticed that Gina, who had been alone, was rushing towards him.

Shad assumed that Gina wanted to join him. Knowing the terrifying nature of this strange baby, Shad naturally didn't want Gina involved, even though she was a high-ranking witch and wouldn't be of much help in the face of such an enemy.

The two magical techniques, which possess powerful offensive capabilities against flesh-and-blood creatures, are completely ineffective against the opponent's rapid regeneration. The [Dark Moon Mark], capable of annihilating an opponent in one fell swoop, would certainly be useful, but Shad is also certain he doesn't have enough spirit energy to destroy the entire room's mist and blood in one fell swoop.

If all that was left was to destroy the enormous form before him, Shad feared it would be reborn from the mist and blood.

"If we can't destroy it, then we can only restrain it. This thing has absolutely no sin or desire, so the [Chains of Great Sin] is useless. We also tried the 'Binding Aura' earlier, but it broke free in an instant. So, the only solution left is..."

He continued fleeing forward, popping the tea leaves into his mouth to chew, then checking the number of star dewdrops he was carrying:

"Hopefully, there's enough of it, and it doesn't have much resistance—Adele's Time Stop!"

Click—

The sound of clock hands ticking echoed in the void. Shad, who had turned sharply to cast a spell, pointed at the rapidly approaching monster, and it instantly froze in time. Shad's face immediately turned pale.

The spell was indeed successful, but the spiritual energy it consumed almost drained him of his life force.

"Indeed, quantitative changes in vitality can lead to qualitative changes."

He didn't even have time to catch his breath; he wanted to rejoin everyone as soon as possible and leave. But before he could take two steps after turning around, the immense power of time was rapidly eroded by the overwhelming life force as the surrounding blood mist surged around him.

With another piercing cry, the baby, frozen in time, suddenly moved, and even faster than before.

Its limbs bent, and then its body lunged forward, the massive form hurtling towards Shad from the air. Although Shad wanted to slide tackle and slice its body open from the bottom with the Moonlight Greatsword, he knew that such an injury would be no different from a broken little finger to its opponent.

"If Sister Daphne were here, even the most vibrant life force would be nothing more than fuel for the First Flame."

He sighed inwardly, and this time he didn't dodge. Instead, he squinted at the baby's mouth, preparing to crawl inside.

This is not an outsider trying to imitate a monkey to destroy the other party's internal organs. The only way that Shad can think of now is [Blood Seed Parasitism], and he has to transform himself into a Blood Seed to parasitize this strange pure life creation.

Whether Xia De ultimately succeeded in controlling the other party, or whether the other party's flesh and blood eroded Xia De's body, that can only be determined by luck.

"go!"

He leaped up and lunged at the mouth of the falling giant baby.

"Shad!"

But then Gina's voice suddenly appeared. Since the blood-red fog could block sound transmission, it meant that she was already very close to Shad.

Therefore, as Gina's voice appeared, a dazzling purple light struck Shad's stomach from the right, then carried him diagonally away, just avoiding the giant baby's attack.

The beam of light struck Shad's stomach, nearly causing him to vomit, as he was already experiencing stomach pain. He crawled out of the blood and saw that the pink dragon girl had already gone to distract the monster. The infant wasn't very intelligent and didn't know how to press its advantage, so it turned towards Gina.

Meanwhile, Shad saw the thing that had bumped into him floating in front of him.

The delicate doll's face held a smile as she tugged at the hem of her skirt, offering a very ladylike greeting to Shad:

"Long time no see, Shad~"

"Miss Feliciano!?"

Staring at the doll, Shad almost thought he was dreaming, but the doll smiled and flew to Shad's side:

"What, don't you recognize me?"

She asked with a smile.

"No, I am just Miss Felian Anna. What are you doing here? What's the situation with this body?"

“Great, I thought you would ask about Britney’s recent situation first.”

She sat on Shad's right shoulder, thus ending Gina's brief "doll mount" career.

"Let's talk about other things later. I'll deal with this for you first. It seems Gina won't last much longer."

Xia De also knew that now was not a good time to chat:

"Teacher, we're counting on you again this time. This time, the enemy is a creation of pure life force, and even its soul is born from the spirituality within flesh and blood."

The witch chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned. Shad could sense that Miss Felianana in her doll form was in even worse condition than Violet had been when she broke into the Gravestone Wasteland, but Mana Felianana had never disappointed Shad:

"The body and soul are complementary. The soul, born from flesh and blood, lacks the support of other essential elements. Therefore, because it is too pure and not complex enough, the soul is more susceptible to external influences. If it were stronger, the soul might be able to resist external forces simply through its quantity. Fortunately, it is not truly very strong yet."

"I just tried [Soul Whip], but it had no effect other than almost deafening me."

Shad explained, the doll continuing to smile gently. Faced with students who couldn't give the correct answer immediately, the gentle witch was willing to continue teaching:

“Shad, what you need is a true soul-attack ability. Whipping is merely punishment and is insufficient to shake life. When I stayed at your home in the summer of 1854, I heard you mention a magical technique called ‘Cupid’.”
