As Cassius's brain marrow was sucked away bit by bit, Metis's face became paler and paler.

The whole person was as if he had been fished out of the water, and he was soaked.

When the last drop of brain marrow in Cassius's mind disappeared from Metis's fingertips, Metis sighed palely.

"Sure enough, the information that exists is not at all what mortal neural memory can carry."

Metis, who had obtained almost all the memories in Cassius's mind through devouring, searched for the memories of Cassius's life, except for a few plausible pictures, and still did not get the information he wanted.

However, Metis does not mean this.

Because in the occult, a lot of important information and memories are not carried on the body at all, but on the soul.

For many powerful beings or beings with special abilities, the physical body is sometimes not indispensable or irreplaceable, but the soul ······ but it is eternal and unique.

Therefore, Metis, who didn't get the information he wanted in Cassius's mind, directly opened his hole cards.

In the next second, in Cassius's heart, a seed suddenly loomed out of thin air, blooming with wisps of light.

Immediately afterward, this seed of nothingness suddenly disappeared directly into Cassius's soul, and quickly took root in Cassius's soul filled with madness, depravity, and pain, and then grew rapidly with Cassius's soul as nourishment.

In just a few seconds, a gray soul flower bloomed above Cassius's extremely weak soul that could even be scattered at any time.

And at the moment when the multi-soul flower bloomed.

A terrifying aura suddenly burst out of Cassius's soul, and then Cassius's extremely weak soul suddenly condensed, and even the breath of madness, chaos, depravity, and pain in that soul was cleared.

When absolute reason once again took possession of Cassius's soul, Cassius, who had once been the weakest, but also the most terrifying, reappeared before the eyes of Metis.

Looking at the flower of the soul in front of him, which was slowly blooming with his own soul as nourishment, and Metis, who was connected to his spirit, Cassius showed an expression of understanding and disdain.

"And if that's what you're doing in my body?"

"Then you're disappointing me, Metis."

"With these ritual runes and the soul fruit produced by this soul flower, how can you usurp a few secrets in my soul?"

Listening to these words that sounded directly in his soul, Metis said lightly:

"I don't need to know much, I just get what I want, and that's enough."

Before he could finish speaking, Metis's soul stepped out and appeared directly in front of the soul flower in front of Cassius, and then stretched out his finger again and pressed against the strange soul fruit in the soul flower stamen.

The next second.

Metis's split index finger couldn't wait to talk about the still somewhat green soul fruit and devoured it.

After the soul fruit was devoured, a series of secret and strange knowledge quickly filled Metis's mind.

The longer he came into contact with Cassius, the more Metis felt the mystery and horror of this guy.

Obviously he is just a mortal, but he has forbidden knowledge that many gods and demons do not know.

If it weren't for the fact that for some reason, Cassius became paranoid and sluggish in order to quickly gain great power, frantically at the cost of his own reason and death again and again, in exchange for and plundering those forbidden powers that did not belong to him.

Even if Metis couldn't wait to resurrect his mother, he probably wouldn't dare to calculate the terrible and crazy man in this way.

So, after seeing Cassius hide the madness in his soul and become the terrible man in his impression again.

Metis did not hesitate to devour the green fruit that was not yet fully ripe in advance.

Cassius in front of Metis did not stop Metis from devouring the soul fruit that had ingested the nutrients emitted from his corpse.

It doesn't seem to mind much about that.

"To resurrect that mother? It seems that the experiences of this life have made you too weak, Metis. ”

"In that case, let me help you!"

I saw that in Cassius's eyes, a touch of extreme madness suddenly appeared.

The next second.

Cassius's soul was under his active control, and he took the initiative to merge into the slowly blooming soul flower.

Turn your soul into nutrients and take the initiative to support the soul flower that is slowly blooming.

And with Cassius's active input, the soul fruit that Metis's index finger touched suddenly grew and matured at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just a few seconds.

Cassius's soul suddenly turned into a speck of light, and disappeared into the soul fruit that was constantly ripening.

With the complete withering of the gray soul flower.

The soul fruit that carried the countless secrets of Cassius was also completely ripe, and then it fell into the hands of Metis.

"That guy ······"

Recalling the strange smile that Cassius had given to him just now before his soul was gone, Metis felt inexplicably more uneasy in his heart.

However, when I think back to the taboo that appeared in my mind and what I wanted the most.

That trace of uneasiness was forgotten by Metis.

No matter how big the price is, as long as she can resurrect her mother, she is willing.

·······

When Cassius's soul was completely submerged in that soul fruit, his soul flew away.

His body in the outside world also turned into a puddle of ashes in that golden-red light.

And after Cassius was gone, Metis, who was on the side of the golden-red circle, suddenly opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of dirty blood.

"Poof·····"

With this moment, the blood spurted out.

The vitality in Metis's body passed rapidly for decades at a frightening rate.

In an instant, her jet-black and shiny hair lost all luster and turned into pale hair.

Juvenile gray hair.

Even the vitality in Metis's body, in Arin's vision, became like an old man of eighty or ninety years old, like a candle in the wind, fragile.

It's as if Metis spewed out not a mouthful of dirty blood, but decades of her life.

Erin on the side frowned slightly after seeing the changes that had occurred on Metis, and then took out a bottle of [Powerful Healing Elixir] from his spatial ring.

Then he opened it and fed it to Metis.

As the effects of the [Powerful Healing Potion] circulated rapidly in his body, Metis's pale face finally regained a trace of blood.

Feeling the trace of temperature rising in his body, Metis lowered his eyes and said softly:

"Thank you."

Well?

Erin glanced at Metis in surprise.

It seems a little surprising that this nasty bear child has now learned to say thanks.

It seems that the past few months have really made this guy grow a lot.

········

After breathing a sigh of relief, Metis, who had regained some strength, recited the incantation and slashed his wrist again.

With a golden-red light blooming.

The blood gushing out of Metis's wrist was suspended in mid-air under the influence of a strange force, turning into two marble-sized, crystal clear blood crystals.

When the blood crystal was completely solidified, two gray soul lights suddenly burst out from the center of Metis's eyebrows, falling on the two blood crystals.

Reaching out and gently pushing, the two blood crystals floating in the air were pushed by Metis in front of Erin and Tamamo.

After doing all this.

Metis's figure stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"I have transferred the knowledge and secret techniques obtained from Cassius's soul into these two blood crystals, as long as these two blood crystals are placed in the center of your eyebrows, and the forbidden knowledge contained in them is induced, the knowledge and secret techniques in the blood crystals will pour into your minds."

"However, the forbidden knowledge about the evil god does not exist in the world, even if I use my own blood to temporarily block the leakage of those knowledge, but this can only be hidden for three minutes, and after three minutes, part of the forbidden knowledge in the blood crystal will be wiped out by heaven and earth."

"As for whether you want to read it or not, the knowledge in this blood crystal is up to you."

With that, Metis cut off a strip of cloth and tied it to his wrist, which was a little white from blood loss.

I don't know if it's Metis's special physique, or if the [Powerful Healing Elixir] she drank just now is still working.

Obviously, the wound that Metis cut on his wrist was very deep, and he almost almost cut the blood vessels in his wrist, but only a few seconds passed.

The wound on Metis's wrist began to scab over and heal.

Erin estimated that even if Metis didn't tie her wrist with a strip of cloth, the wound on her wrist would heal in a matter of minutes.

However, looking at Metis, who was bandaging his wounds, Arryn didn't say much.

Instead, he turned his head to look at the blood crystal in front of him.

After reaching out and holding it slightly, after receiving the blood crystal into the space ring, Erin did not immediately absorb the blood crystal in his hand.

When it comes to evil gods and so-called forbidden knowledge, Erin doesn't intend to absorb the knowledge in this blood crystal so recklessly.

Even if the impression that Metis gave him had changed slightly.

After walking to a corner, Erin directly took out a set of divination tools, among which Metis and Tamamo were in front of him, closed his eyes and began to divination.

With the deterrence of the demonic contract he had just signed, at least on the surface, Erin didn't have to worry too much that Tamamo and Metis would take advantage of this time to attack him.

Therefore, Erin simply took the opportunity to do divination.

Of course.

Divination from the outside world is only a means of concealment.

The real Erin entered the balance space with the blood crystal, and with the help of the person of the balance space, he started the real divination.

Tens of seconds later.

Erin got the exact answer from the balance space.

After opening your eyes again.

Without hesitation, he directly took out the blood crystal, put it on his eyebrows, and then used his spiritual power to attract the blood crystal, introducing all the knowledge sealed in Metis into his mind.

·········

Not far away.

In front of the jade algae that let Erin do it, he looked at the set of divination tools in Erin's hand, and his eyes full of charm narrowed slightly.

Just now, she seemed to feel a trace of power in the shadows being attracted by Erin, and then fell on the set of divination tools in front of Erin.

"Witchcraft? Interesting. ”

While playing with the blood-colored spar in his hand, he observed the changes in Erin's body after absorbing the blood-colored crystal.

It wasn't until the three-minute time limit was approaching, and he still didn't see any obvious changes in Erin's body, that he carefully pasted the blood-colored spar on his eyebrows.

········

A few minutes later.

In this upside-down world, there was a sudden spatial fluctuation.

Immediately after that, a circle that continued to burst out with golden-red sparks suddenly grew larger and larger in the upside-down world.

Almost as soon as the golden-red circle appeared, Erin and Tamamo, whose eyes were closed, opened their eyes in unison.

Looking at the almost iconic golden-red portal, Yuzao covered his mouth and chuckled: "The troublemaker is coming, it seems that this time the slave family has no chance to communicate with Childe." ”

After those seductive eyes took a deep look at Erin, the nine fox tails in front of and behind Tamamo swayed gently, and soon, a thick mist slowly rose behind her.

"I hope that next time, the slave family can have a good exchange with the son."

As the words fell, the figure in front of Tamamo became illusory in the rising mist.

It seems that with the help of some secret technique, he left this space directly.

Hearing this, Erin shook his head lightly: "Next time?" The next time we meet, we will be enemies. ”

That's when it happened.

The king and two other Templar mages also stepped through the portal into the upside-down world.

As soon as they stepped into this inverted world, as soon as they turned their heads, they saw the beautiful shadow that slowly disappeared into the mist, and the nine foxtails that kept swaying behind her.

Almost instantly, the king's faces and the other two Templar mages with the faces of the Eastern Kingdom changed in unison, and then assumed a posture of guard.

"Nine-tailed fox."

As the Supreme Temple that guards the dark side of the world, the Supreme Mage has dealt with Tamamo more than once.

It is precisely because of this that they understand the horror of this demon.

Therefore, the moment they saw Tamamo, they became vigilant as if they were facing a great enemy.

But it didn't take a few seconds.

In front of the jade algae that was swallowed by that mist, it completely disappeared in front of them.

After watching Tamamo disappear for a long time, he still looked vigilantly at the king and the other two temple mages around him, and Erin, who had seen the terrifying illusion in front of Tamamo, of course understood what they were worried about.

However, Erin, who had already scanned the surroundings with his psionic vision and reconfirmed it with his divination, knew that the terrible woman had left.

"Okay, don't look at it, that guy is gone."
