Female Novel
Chapter 1304
“Already dead...” Edwards turned his head and looked at Bernadette’s Invisible Servant with his light-blue eyes. His gaze was nolonger cold and blank. It emitted a strange glint that was filled with disbelief. It was only at this moment that he seemed to realizethat he had long died and had come back to “life.” He was no different from William, Poli, and Grimm, who he claimed wereindividuals who they needed to keep up one’s guard against. This transformation lasted for only two seconds before Edwards’sface twisted. His already pale skin rapidly dimmed as it ruptured inch by inch. Beneath his skin, the red pieces of flesh began torot at a discernible speed, dripping foul yellow liquid. With a swoosh, Edwards raised the black axe in his hand. Oof! His axeruthlessly cleaved the top of his head, as though it was trying to stop the bad thoughts that surfaced in his mind. The axe washeavy and sharp. It tore through Edwards’s skull all the way to his glabella. Drip, drip, drip. Drops of milky-white cerebrospinalfluid dripped down from the axe’s blade, sliding across Edwards’s grimaced and torn face, as though he had poured some milkonto a bright red strawberry. “Don’t... Don’t come near me...” Edwards said in a low and hoarse voice to Bernadette’s InvisibleServant after striking himself in the head. Before he could finish his sentence, his expression returned to its blank state. The lookin his eyes gradually turned hollow as he turned around and walked towards the forest. That thin and shriveled body of hisstooped a little, as though his back was hunched. Bernadette had probed him because of the doubts and concerns she hadabout entering the mausoleum. All she could do was indirectly determine the problem with Edwards’s existence, and see if shecould obtain more clues from his answer. She never expected this knight from Roselle’s era, who had been famous across theNorthern Continent, would react in such an intense and strange manner. After two seconds of silence, Bernadette made theInvisible Servant say to Edwards’s back: “Your descendants are doing pretty well. All of them are accomplished in a certainsense.” Edwards, whose back was facing the mausoleum, stopped for a moment. Then, he continued forward, passing theinvisible boundary and entering the forest. His target seemed to be in the direction of the cemetery with the stone pillar, the placewhere the deceased could obtain “new life.” At the same time, Bernadette looked up into the sky. The faint black colors thatpermeated the area had clearly faded, but there was an indescribable feeling. The entire primitive island underwent a subtlechange that couldn’t accurately be described. Suddenly, Bernadette, who was hiding at the edge of the invisible boundary,rubbed her back. She felt that it was heavy, as though there was something there. When her left palm touched her target,Bernadette realized that there was an extra strand of hair. At this moment, she was wearing an Intis-styled blouse with a largelace flower around the collar, an indigo patterned captain’s uniform, a pair of beige trousers, knee-length boots, and a triangularhat with feathers on it. She was dressed like the leader of a pirate ship. She styled herself such that her long chestnut hair wastied into a bun, leaving the remaining strands in a way that would reach the middle of her back. But now, even though herhairstyle remained unchanged, her hair had grown longer and reached her waist. Then, Bernadette lowered her head and lookedat her right palm. She saw the fingernails of her five fingers extending. Queen Mystic didn’t show any signs of surprise or panic.She followed the instincts of a Clairvoyant and from all the experience she had accumulated over time. She took a few stepsforward, and through an invisible boundary, she completely left the primitive forest and entered the empty area where the BlackEmperor's mausoleum was. During this process, Bernadette even made the Invisible Servant return to the spirit world. Three orfour seconds later, she felt the earth shake. The mausoleum began to tremble visibly. Subconsciously, Bernadette turned to lookat the primitive forest. Her gaze froze for a moment. The dark-green trees were waving their branches and uprooting their roots.Then, like humans, they approached Bernadette. The entire primitive forest had come to “life”! Looking at the dense cluster oftrees that seemed to blot out the sky surging at her, Bernadette had the feeling that doomsday was approaching. She felt as ifthe entire area would be blanketed by the forest. A gigantic red dragon with flames flowing across its skin rapidly flew into thesky. An eight-legged demonic wolf began to run madly between the trees... All the supernatural beings and mutated creatures onthis island stirred as they rushed towards the mausoleum. Although she was a Clairvoyant, Bernadette still didn’t expect that hersimple, indirect question would bring about such an anomaly. It was as though it was a key that had opened the door to theabyss. Above the gray fog, Klein saw a lot more. Together with his knowledge of mysticism, he had a certain guess. The situationof Edwards is different from William, Grimm, and Poli. It’s like a loophole of the order on this primitive island, or rather, ashadow... When he realized that he was already dead, this loophole was discovered by the order, and it began to conduct“repairs.” And the repairs brought with it an enhancement of the order, causing the entire island to experience an anomaly. | cansense that the Black Emperor’s powers are present here to a certain degree. It affected Edwards, causing him to maintain aportion of his will after obtaining new ‘life.” And where did the original order of this primitive island come from? Eh... As Klein’sthoughts raced, he suddenly sensed that Bernadette was suffering certain anomalies. Thump, thump, thump. Bernadette couldvaguely hear her own heartbeat. This heartbeat was rather chaotic, as though it was a combination of two sounds. Two...Bernadette’s heart stirred as she calmly directed her attention back to herself. In the next second, she confirmed that there weretwo sources of her heartbeat. One came from her heart, the other from her abdomen. There seemed to be an additional heart inher abdomen, one that was rapidly expanding and contracting. Furthermore, this “heart” was developing bit by bit! Withoutneeding to use her Mystery Prying powers to look at her abdomen, Bernadette immediately sensed that there was a fetus in herwomb. It had grown from the size of a grape to the size of a normal human palm. If it was left to grow, it didn’t seem like it wouldtake long before it matured. It would then tear open her mother’s womb, and drill out while covered in blood. Unknowingly,Bernadette had become pregnant. Her spiritual perception and the Sealed Artifact on her body had failed to detect it in advanceor attempt to stop it. It was as though she was powerless to deal with such an influence. Earth Mother... Primordial Moon...Mother Tree of Desire... Three divine names flashed through Bernadette’s mind. According to what she knew, there weren’tmany mysteries that could cause such an anomaly. Most of them came from domains related to the Earth and the Moonpathway. Sequence 0 of the Planter pathway was Mother. The Primordial Moon could make a stone have reproductive powers,while the Mother Tree of Desire seemed to possess some High-Sequence Beyonder characteristics of the Moon pathway.Bernadette wasn't in a hurry to deal with the fetus in her stomach. Her gaze turned dark once again as she used her propheticability to see what her best choice was. This time, she only took one second to obtain the corresponding prophecy: “Survival liesinside the mausoleum.” Without any hesitation, Bernadette reached out her right hand and quickly drew out words filled withstellar radiance. These words, which were similar to the words on the Blasphemy Slate, quickly interwove into a strange symboland opened a secret door that seemed to lead deep into the spirit world. Following that, the “secret door” opened and a stronggust of wind blew out, transforming into an entity that was half-man, half-air. His upper body was wrapped in white cloth. “SageFrontlet,” Bernadette’s tone was calm as she ordered in a dignified voice. The man responded respectfully and removed anaccessory from the white cloth wrapped around his body. The core of this accessory was a vertical eye embedded with“diamonds.” It shimmered with pure light, exuding an abnormal holiness. It was filled with intelligence, but it also appeared coldwithout any warmth. Bernadette then took the accessory and “embedded? it into the middle of her forehead. This was a Grade 0Sealed Artifact which Bernadette usually didn’t carry with her, as the negative effects were too severe. However, at this moment,the Sage Frontlet had an ability that was extremely important to Bernadette. She was willing to bear the consequences of notbeing able to use evil magic and the gradual influence that the Beyonder characteristic would have on her as it slowly fused withher. If she didn’t remove the Sage Frontlet in a short period of time, it would be equivalent to having a Sequence 2 potionsplashed on her. When the time came, she could either end up lucky and succeed in advancing to become a Sage, or losecontrol and become a monster. And without the supplementary ingredients and the corresponding ritual, the former's probabilitywas nearly negligible. With the diamond vertical eye on her forehead, Bernadette’s body began to turn incorporeal as shedissociated into a series of complicated knowledge. In that instant, she became a creature of pure information. The baby in herwomb failed to obtain such a state as it fell to the ground. It was half the size of a normal baby. It already had facial features andlimbs. Its skin was wrinkled, and it was dripping with sticky pus. As it left its mother’s body, the undeveloped “it” began to regressand quickly melted in the air. The baby was clearly unwilling to give up. It tried its best to open its eyes, which were sealed by thesticky liquid. It opened its mouth wide open in a bid to make a final struggle. At this moment, Klein, who was above the gray fog,rapped the edge of the long mottled table. Pa! He increased the probability of failure with respect to the baby’s struggling. Unableto maintain itself, the baby completely dissipated in front of the approaching black forest. At the same time, the flood ofinformation that Bernadette had transformed into had entered the Black Emperor mausoleum’s interior through the heavy stonedoor as she reformed her original body. During this process, she seemed to see a black shadow.novelbin
