CHAPTER 435: CHAPTER 358: DERIVATIVES OF RUIN

...

"What should we do..."

Faced with such a predicament, Jon Luer, who lacked experience in handling such situations, had no idea what to do next and could only pin his hopes on Master Elena, who had drawn away the Demon Winged Dragon.

Just then,

the sound of moving stones echoed from the entrance of the cave.

Jon showed a look of surprise and exclaimed impatiently,

"Master Elena, Niff is almost at her limit."

—Roar!

However, the response was a bloodthirsty roar, and a decaying bear with its grayish skin exposed in several places poked its decaying head out.

Its gray-green beastly eyes were filled with pain and murderous violence.

This creature was a derivative of the Ruined.

Essentially, it was the same as Theresa’s status, but with Lin Suo’s help, Theresa’s combined state was stabilized, resulting in a successful derivative.

If it failed, the outcome would be no different from this bear.

The bear, modified by the Power of Ruin, was a native transcendent creature. Dealing with a wizard who had lost his magic power wasn’t exactly a catch, but it posed no problems either.

The gray-green color representing the Power of Ruin spread three meters around the transcendent bear, even turning the rocks into ash under this derivative secondary power.

Jon quickly picked up the unconscious Niff.

Stepping on protruding rocks inside the cave and digging his fingers into the cave’s ceiling walls, he forcibly clung to it.

Below were the howling Ruined creatures.

This was the end of their resources.

The Ruined bear continued to roar, its massive paws digging into the ground, pulling out huge rocks and throwing them at the two hanging from the ceiling.

At that moment,

a white light arrow shot from outside the cave, straight through the head of the Ruined bear, the intense Light Element Power instantly turning the bear into a pile of ash.

Inside the cave, a handsome young man clad in a Black Robe gradually emerged from the void.

"I’ve found you."

It was Lin Suo who had been searching just now.

"Master! How did you..."

Jon cried out in surprise and then became puzzled.

"Let’s talk later."

Motioning with his hand, Lin Suo took Niff from Jon, looking at his apprentice’s pale cheeks and the multitude of malformed eyes exposed by the old god’s power gnawing at her body.

A look of heartache showed on his face.

Last time, he had given Niff a life-saving necklace containing Space-Time Amber Witchcraft, more than enough for self-preservation in critical moments.

Niff was supposed to be in the Moon God Main City and got affected by the residual battle between the Blood-eyed God and the Moon God. She ended up on the Ursa Major Ghost Light 11th Planet, likely because Elena acted considering his relation, saving her by a hand.

In the original course of history.

The Royal Family’s remnant in Lin Suo’s possession,

should end in three thousand years from now, completed by Niff emerging from the Space-Time Amber, where the First Rank Witchcraft - Plant Control is the starting point of all Lin Suo’s current possessions.

was also taught by Lin Suo to Niff during their last Time Illusion experience.

The intriguing interplay of fate.

The formed time loop seemed to have guided Lin Suo here, to save this little one once again, for she still had a crucial mission to complete for Lin Suo.

"Royal Family’s remnant..."

Reflecting now, the few words recorded about the disaster within seemed highly similar to the ongoing Ruined Calamity, with everything being infected and corroded in the Ruined Mist.

Turning into Ruined derivatives, killing everything within their reach.

Lin Suo’s right hand glowed with the Light of Life, healing Niff’s physical condition, and at the same time, his left hand lit up with the Light of Mind, dispelling some remnants of the old god’s will inside Niff.

Working on both fronts, it wasn’t long before Niff’s little face regained its rosy color, and a large number of blood eyes violently rejected out of her body, dissipating amid a wail of agony.

Handling a bit of the old god’s power was still manageable.

"Master..."

"Hush, let her rest for a while."

Placing Niff on a cashmere mat, Lin Suo and Jon walked to the cave entrance to talk.

"Jon, how long have you been in this Time Illusion?"

Jon was stunned, reflecting with a reminiscent look.

In his life, equally short, previously worried about how to be a qualified Pioneer Wizard, he was unexpectedly thrown into this Time Illusion.

Niff, too, was dug up by him.

Because of the spatial ripples, he was pulled in, met Holy Spirit Level power Elena, making it the most exciting part of his life.

He sighed deeply.

"It’s been over twenty years. Though rich in resources, surviving here is incredibly tough. If not for Niff and Master Elena, I might have already died."

"Especially Niff, she was inside a piece of Amber. I just touched it, and was pulled in. I thought she was the key to leaving here."

Jon Luer lacked knowledge about Cosmic Wonders, so his understanding was quite superficial, but with Lin Suo’s explanation, he finally understood the situation.

"So Master, you showing up here, is it because this place was discovered by the Truth Council and they’ve started dealing with it?"

"That’s one way to put it."

"But to leave the Time Illusion, we can only wait until the accumulated Power of Time is exhausted, which is expected to take another seventy-two years."

"So long?..."

Jon scratched the back of his head, unsure what to say.

"You go restore your Magic Power first. Let’s talk more after Niff wakes up."
