Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 274 The Rise of the Ooze

BACK AT THE RED MOON.

After the red skinned humanoid had said his words, the rumblings on the whole Red Moon continued as the Red Hand suddenly shot out of the ground.

A shoulder and the torso appeared once the hand was high up in the air, which was followed by the head and the whole body itself.

Delia, who could only watch warily on what was happening, had her eyes wide as she saw the appearance of the body that came out of the ground.

There is no doubt that this body was the body of the Red Moon prisoner, and whatever the red skinned humanoid did, the body of the Red Moon prisoner was now visible for everyone.

"Wait..."

Delia’s eyes then narrowed as she looked at both the red-skinned humanoid and the Red Moon prisoner.

As she looked at them for a longer amount of time, her body tensed as she saw something similar between the two.

"They... they look extremely alike!" This was what Delia blurted out, as she realized that the appearance of the red skinned humanoid was extremely similar to the appearance of the slumbering Red Moon prisoner!

The wings, the skin, and the face that the red skinned humanoid had was identical to the ones that the Red Moon prisoner had!

In fact, the only difference between the two were the Origin Devouring Chains covering the body of the Red Moon prisoner, and the difference between their sizes!

If Delia had noticed this similarity, the others noticed it too, and some of them had a great reaction to this.

One of these people was Tong’er who suddenly drew out 10 paper talismans from her pocket.

She pointed all these talismans to the red skinned humanoid as she said,

"Delia.... I see it now. The reason why the Red Moon prisoner is in a Limbo right now was because his soul has left his body! The body that we are seeing right now was one without a soul! As for the soul itself, it did not get destroyed, it was just in a different place. See the red skinned humanoid that arrived just now? He was the soul of the Red Moon Prisoner! " Tong’er shouted as she tightened her grip on her talismans. "That was the reason why those two looked extremely alike. It was because they were originally one and united!"

"Wait, are you serious about that?"

"I am serious. You know that I am a Spirit Master, and that souls and sprits are my expertise." Tong’er replied as she let out a sigh." I do not know how that soul managed to stay alive this long, but I only know one thing. And that is that the soul of the Red Moon prisoner is clearly attempting to return to his True Body right now!"

"Seriously?"

"I am serious Delia. That red-skinned humanoid has pulled out his True Body out of the ground right now. The only thing that was left for him to do was to put back his soul on his True Body." Tong’er replied as her eyes narrowed in worry. "I tell you now Delia, we cannot allow the soul of the Red Moon prisoner to fuse back with his body! Even when that red skinned humanoid was just in his soul state, his power was clearly off the charts! He’s clearly stronger than us! And if we allow him to fuse back on his True Body, the power that he has right now will just get stronger! We might even die if we let him succeed!"

"!!!" Needless to say, Delia immediately realized that Tong’er’s words were right.

The red-skinned humanoid was attempting to fuse back with his True Body right now, and if he was not stopped, something unfortunate will surely happen to Delia and her crew!

For Delia, whose Main Mission depends on successfully deploying their operation, what was happening right now could lead to the worst case scenario for them!

This conclusion of Delia was confirmed when she heard the red-skinned humanoid starting to talk.

"My little students. Please stop these people from bothering me." The red-skinned humanoid said as he slowly floated towards the body of the Red Moon Prisoner. "It will take me some time to break the chains and fuse with my body back, so do your best to protect me. You know what will happen if you all fail, right?"

"Everyone! Stop the red skinned humanoid from whatever he was doing!" Delia shouted at the top of her voice as she looked intently at the Celestials behind her. "Do whatever you can to delay that red-skinned humanoid. Attack him, shove him, pummel him! As long as you can delay him, you must do it! Our future... and survival depends on us succeeding here!"

"Hah!" The Celestials looked like they wanted to disagree with what Delia just said, but they were forced to follow her as Tong’er stared at them malevolently.

They all held up their weapons with somewhat unwilling expressions on their faces as they flew towards the red skinned humanoid and his three companions.

Delia, Tong’er, the little boy, and the angel led the charge, with their faces filled with extreme tension.

How could they not be tense?

The one who was protecting the red-skinned humanoid was the Grand Celestial, the Grand Symbolist, and the Grand Devourer.

They were huddled around him in a protective circle, which clearly shows their intent to protect him.

Clearly, these three powerful leaders of the Three Factions had an agenda that was tied with the red-skinned humanoid successfully fusing back on his body!

There’s no doubt that these three will also attack Delia and co., even when most of Delia’s allies were related to the Grand Celestial!

"Ugh..."

Right now, 4 pairs of wings could be seen on Delia’s back, flapping furiously on the air as they pushed Delia forward.

These wings looked less impressive compared to the ones that the angel had, although some semblance of power could still be seen from them.

However, Delia was not concerned on how she looked right now, as she was more concerned with her enemies.

"Tsk." As she saw the situation that she was in, the only thing that Delia could do was to grit her teeth. She stared at the red-skinned humanoid as she mused to herself,

"With these 4 powerhouses in front of me, there is a high chance that we will be defeated quickly. If we want to win, then I have to use my trump card... But should I use it now? I can only use it once a week, so if I used it now, I won’t be able to use it on my opponents later... Tsk, I am saving it right now for that Alex guy. But if I don’t use it now, I don’t have any guarantees of surviving to face Traveler Alex. Argh! F**k this! I have no choice but to use my trump card now! I will just worry about Traveler Alex once we face him later!"

After having these thoughts in her mind, a determined expression appeared on Delia’s face. A sigil, which appeared to be a black dot, suddenly appeared on her forehead.

Tong’er, who saw what Delia was doing, almost shouted out in shock as she gripped Delia’s shoulder.

"Oi Delia, don’t tell me you-"

"Piss off Tong’er. I have no choice but to do this!" Delia replied quickly as the black dot on her face began to increase in size. "If we don’t use this now, we will be f**ked!"

"But-"

Delia did not wait anymore for what Tong’er will say next as the black dot on her head exploded.

"Boom!"

Black ooze came out of the explosion, covering the whole area that Delia, the Grand Celestial, the Grand Symbolist, the Grand Devourer and the red-skinned humanoid were in.

Shouts of surprise could be heard from everyone inside the black ooze, prompting Delia to let out a ferocious smile.

As Delia flew inside the black ooze, she readied her weapons as she swooped towards her still surprised enemies.

"Hah, how do you like my trump card? Under its power, you will be defenseless against me!" Delia thought with relish as she decided to attack the Grand Symbolist first. "You should wish that you will survive for the next 5 minutes. Because if you don’t then it will be my victory!"
